When Su Yang saw her heroic appearance, he almost cried out.
‘On second thought, I still have quite a few of Sanque’s ginseng roots. So, even if something happens to the old lady, I could save her.’ At that thought, Su Yang did not mind anymore.
The flames were burning, and Spirit Building was dancing inside.
Around her, the little monsters and Su Yang were squatting on the ground watching the bonfire. ◇(・◇・)
A moment later, a scream came from within the bonfire, followed by an old lady covered in fire rushing out and ran to the beach.
“Hiss! Hiss!” White smoke rose, and some black ash floated on the surface of the sea.
Hence, Su Yang stood up in shock. ‘What’s happened to the old lady? Is she burnt? No! Has she been burnt to ashes already?
At that moment, the little monsters ran over and started to scoop her up.
Moments later, the charred Spirit Building was carried out from the sea by the little monsters.
After that, Su Yang walked over and poked her.
The old lady still had a reaction, her body even trembled.
Su Yang tried to hold back his laughter. “The others are pretending to be cool by being struck by lightning, while you’re being burned by fire?”
The old lady opened her eyes and rolled her eyes at Su Yang.「(°ヘ°)
Thus, Su Yang did not continue to tease her. Instead, he took out Sanque’s ginseng roots, picked a few thicker ones, soaked them in the water, and fed them to her.
After the ginseng water entered her stomach, the old lady finally revealed a comfortable expression.
Su Yang then instructed the Little Monster Beans to move a tent for her to cover her burnt body.
Once everything was settled, Su Yang and the little monsters returned to the bonfire.
This time… The atmosphere was a little awkward.
After all, a perfectly fine person suddenly walked into the fire so heroically in a moment. Then, in the next, she ran out with smoke coming out of her mouth… This was something no one could accept…
While the little monsters were chatting, Su Yang picked up his glass phone and started scrolling through his WeChat.
The moment he opened WeChat, Su Yang saw a message in the group chat.
Little Hus. ‘Today is the day Boss Ma gets cheated. As long as this message is shared to two groups, everyone will be happy. I’ve already tried and received dozens of “hahaha” in 10 seconds. Even if you don’t believe me, you still have to try. There’s no harm in trying anyway.’
Su Yang was confused.
‘Boss Ma?
‘Who’s he?
‘Ma Chao of the Three Kingdoms? Has he transmigrated?’
Just as he was thinking that, a bunch of “Hahaha” appeared in the chat group.
Su Yang raised his head and saw that the little monsters were all holding onto their glass phones and laughing so hard that they were swaying back and forth. Even the Little Devil Beans were looking at the glass phone and laughing.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘This glass phone really is something that can change the world. With this, even the little monsters could go online and chat.
‘Well then, I see the popular phrase “You’ll never know whether the person sitting opposite the computer is a human or a dog” does make sense indeed.
‘Besides, what is a dog? Do you dare believe that your online lover is a soybean, or a lightbulb even?!
‘But… These little monsters can actually keep up with the trend?’
‘They actually even know about the hot searches and latest news that even I don’t know about…
‘This is rather hard to believe.’
At that thought, Su Yang took another look at the group chat. He wanted to see what was going on.
The group chat was filled with strange comments.
‘In the past, the penguin in my eyes would only shout, “Reload! Reload! Reload!”, but now, the penguin in my eyes is just an idiot.’
Ms. Tao Huabi then replied. ‘I can’t bear to watch, it’s always me who helps report it to the police.
‘I was wondering, what does your arrest of Lao Ganma have to do with me, Tao Huabi?
‘What is love? It’s when someone silently does things for you when you’re in an unknown place — The penguin that loves you.’
Victim Goose texted. ‘They lied to me, slept with me without paying, and even laughed at me…’
Su Yang was confused.
Then, he looked up, only to realize that the little monsters were still laughing. Hence, he lowered his head with confusion written on his face.
‘I feel like I’m acting like an old father who doesn’t understand why his children are smiling and insists on getting closer to them.’
Therefore, he opened Weibo and quietly went to search for news.
‘What’s this about Boss Ma and the penguins? Also, what the hell happened to Lao Ganma…
‘Could it be a love triangle?
‘Hmm…
‘I’m a professional at munching on melon seeds after all…’
…
When Su Yang was checking Boss Ma’s news, it was already evening in Shanghai.
The Red Forest Bar was brightly lit, while Qu Xuan was drinking alone in the bar.
He was still dressed in the same outfit that Su Yang had seen him in previously, but he looked much tidier as if he had washed up.
However, unlike last time, he had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with melancholy.
In a place like a bar, everyone would come out to cheer up or relieve their worries, so a depressed prince like him was indeed very popular. Therefore, every few minutes, a girl would come forward to invite him for a drink or ask for his contact.
Likewise, Qu Xuan did not reject any of the girls that came up to him. Instead, he smiled and responded to them one by one, even promising to contact them in the future.
Just as he was fooling around, a mature woman holding a phone walked into the bar. She looked around the bar and fixed her gaze on Qu Xuan.
Then, her eyes flashed with anger the moment she saw Qu Xuan.
Following that, she strode forward and stood beside Qu Xuan. After that, she grabbed the wine glass beside Qu Xuan and splashed its contents at him.
Qu Xuan did not expect that someone would suddenly splash wine on him. Even though he dodged, he was still squarely hit.
Thus, he was drenched in alcohol.
Because of this, the people around them heard the commotion and turned to look.
Qu Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he did not seem to mind as he patted the wine on his body. Then, he raised his head and looked at the woman with his melancholic eyes. “Umm… Is anything wrong?”
When the woman saw Qu Xuan’s expression, there was a flash of mockery and pleasure in her eyes. She said, “There’s nothing wrong with me, I’m just exposing your true colors!
“He seduced me two days ago, but the next day, he found another girl!
“Your mother told you to dote on girls, not fawn over every single one of them! How many mothers do you have? You’re so wild!”
Qu Xuan looked at the woman’s flustered and exasperated look and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. After a while, he seemed to have reacted. “Oh, Xiaoli, it’s you. I’m sorry, but we’re not compatible indeed.”
The woman’s expression froze, and she gritted her teeth and said, “My name is not Xiaoli!”
A trace of confusion flashed across Qu Xuan’s eyes again. “Oh, Jingjing. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but we’re still not suitable for each other.”
The woman’s anger instantly reached its peak. Hence, she raised her hand and slapped Qu Xuan.
With a “Smack”…
“My name is Duoduo!”

With that, the woman turned around and left angrily!
Their conversation attracted the attention of many people in the bar. Many of them had their hands over their mouths as they looked at Qu Xuan and whispered among themselves.
However, Qu Xuan acted like he did not see her. He looked at the woman’s back and laughed bitterly. Then, he reached out to flick his t-shirt, looked around the bar before heading to the toilet.
In the toilet, Qu Xuan came to a cubicle. He covered his face with his hands, and there was sadness exuding between his fingers…
Actually, he was not sad because of the woman earlier. After all, what was there to be so sad about a woman whose name he could not even remember?
Instead, only the woman whose name he could not forget for 10, 50, or even 100 years would make him so sad…
As he covered his face with his hands, Qu Xuan’s eyes gradually turned red.
After a while, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said in a voice that only he could hear, “Maybe… This is karma…. I’m a jerk, so I really don’t deserve such a good girl.”
After staying in the toilet for a long time, Qu Xuan slowly adjusted himself.
Only when he was alone would he reveal his secret, because he didn’t want his friends to worry about him or bother her…
‘If I can give her my last love, that might mean I’ve let go…’
After some time, perhaps half an hour or an hour, Qu Xuan finally composed himself. He wiped his face, put down his hands, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of leather shoes entering the cubicle.
Accompanying that was a drunk man’s voice. “Aiyah, don’t worry. I’ve been keeping an eye on Tony. It’s just a phone after all, I’ve already helped him get one.”
“What? What are you doing? Pay higher then. If 100 thousand yuan won’t do, offer 200 thousand. If that’s not enough, increase it to 500 thousand yuan. He’ll definitely be tempted at some point.
“I’ve already gotten someone to monitor that person. Don’t worry.
“If necessary, I will get someone to deal with him.
“Why am I willing to help you? This is our country’s business? Haha. Exactly, it belongs to our country, not my family. So, why should I care?
“Let me tell you, our country has an idiom called ‘It is better to be with an outsider than to be a slave to the family’. He’s a guy whose three generations of ancestors are all country bumpkins, so what right does he have to invent that kind of thing and even dare to hold it all to himself!”
“Alright, that’s enough. I’ve got to go now. I’m playing at the bar right now. I’ll look for you tomorrow if there’s anything!”
Qu Xuan listened to the person’s words in the toilet and shook his head. ‘Another drunkard’s bragging and spouting nonsense.’
With that thought, he pushed open the cubicle door and wanted to leave.
However, when he pushed the door open, he raised his head and realized that there was no one inside the toilet except for a young man in a hip-hop shirt peeing in the urinal.
He looked at the young man in surprise and then at the toilet door. The door was closed, cutting off the toilet and the bar. Through the glass at the door, he could see several people guarding it.
In that instant, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Qu Xuan’s back.
At that moment, the young man heard the noise and turned around with a frown.
Seeing this, Qu Xuan hurriedly pretended to be drunk. With drooping eyelids and yawning, he staggered out.
The young man did not even pull his zipper. He just stared at Qu Xuan with a pair of vicious eyes, as if he wanted to see if Qu Xuan had heard his call.
However, Qu Xuan and Qu Xiaomeng had grown up together, so there were at least a thousand cases of him using his acting skills to “deceive” his parents and then con Qu Xiaomeng. Thus, he naturally would not show his cowardice and continued acting like a drunkard and walked out…
The young man seemed to have been tricked by him as well, watching him walk towards the door.
Reaching the door, Qu Xuan placed his hand on the handle and heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as he thought he had tricked the young man, when he turned to open the toilet door, the young man’s voice that sounded like it came from hell echoed from behind him. “Wait…”
…
After Su Yang found out the whole story on Weibo and understood what was going on, he started laughing non-stop.
‘Today’s just so magical. Nanshan’s guest who’s said to have an everlasting victory would actually end up with such a day. Hahaha!
‘What’s more, this lame guy even wrote his own joke and posted it on Weibo.
‘CEO, the legal department has already requested to confiscate her assets. She has been on the hot search list for the entire day.’
‘Hmm? Did she get it wrong?’
‘She admitted her mistake. She said that we were mistaken and she has already called the police.’
Su Yang could be considered a VIP now, especially after the previous few major events that had attracted countless fans. Coupled with the fact that he had held a press conference for his glass phone which transcended its time, more and more people were paying attention to him.
Therefore, when he spoke, it immediately attracted many comments and likes.
That Weibo post had gone up exponentially, and the comments were even more bizarre.
‘If you tease Boss Ma like this, he might buy out your company out of anger.’
‘Are you there? Check your phone.’
‘Stop browsing Weibo. Can you focus on producing your glass phones? We’re still waiting to buy it!’
Looking at the increasing number of comments on Weibo, Su Yang helplessly sent another Weibo post. ‘The glass phones will be officially released this Saturday at three flagship stores in Shanghai. Limited to 30,000 units. So, it’s first come first serve.’
Su Yang’s Weibo post ended up causing an uproar.
The netizens were originally munching on melon seeds watching Penguin’s news, but Su Yang suddenly changed the topic.
Although the sorrows of love and hate from Lao Ganma and Penguin were indeed very touching, they were not as interesting as the glass phones that transcends its time!
Within that half a month, everyone had watched the press conference through various channels, and they had learned how awesome this cell phone was.
Therefore, they were looking forward to owning a glass phone very much.
Thus, now that Su Yang suddenly announced the release date! The crowd was instantly excited and on a high!
At the same time, the news of Jiadian Mobile’s glass phone going on sale on Saturday also became a trending topic.
Thus, everyone realized that there was an endless stream of news to watch that day!
‘I can actually munch on such delicious melons this late at night!’
At that moment, the employees of Jiadian Group were stunned. They were munching on melon seeds and watching news about Penguin, when it suddenly changed to being news about their company out of the blue.
‘The glass phones are going to be sold soon?
‘We didn’t receive any notice though, did we?
‘This Saturday?
‘D*mn! Why do I feel like we aren’t going to make it?!’
With this thought in mind, Li Zijun and Zhao Licheng received phone calls from the employees one after another.
At that moment, Li Zijun and Zhao Licheng were also munching on melon seeds. Hence, when they received the notification from their employees, they hurriedly checked Su Yang’s Weibo. In the end… They were stunned as well.
Hence, Zhao Licheng immediately contacted Su Yang and asked him about his actual arrangements.
Zhao Licheng rubbed his temples when he heard that Su Yang had confirmed that it would be released on Saturday. He felt that he truly had foresight.
‘Thank goodness I’ve started doing the work earlier and renovated those flagship stores. So, in this case, even though time is tight, as long as I work overtime, I could probably still finish by Saturday.
‘If he hadn’t planned this beforehand, it would be too late to start the renovation now and finish by Saturday!
‘I recall that earlier that day, Su Yang did send me a WeChat message saying that he would postpone the sale for a day because he has to add a point for Little Deeny. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to it because I thought that Su Yang meant the day of the sales would be delayed. I even thought I’ve prepared earlier…
‘However, now that I think about it, my boss has actually informed me of the release date!’
On the other hand, Su Yang did not know that his casual words would have such a deep impact. Or rather, he had not fully accepted the fact that he was a public figure at that moment.
Hence, he did not know the impact of his actions as a public figure.
After the call with Zhao Licheng, Su Yang hummed a tune and went to check on Spirit Building.
It was unclear whether it was Spirit Building’s physique which was awesome or Sanque’s ginseng roots, but in just over an hour, the charred skin around Spirit Building’s body had completely faded, revealing her wrinkled flesh.
However, perhaps because she had consumed too much energy, she had already fallen asleep.
Hence, Su Yang covered her with a thick blanket to prevent her from getting cold.
As soon as he left the tent, his phone lit up.
He picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Qu Xuan.
