Huayu 1995

Chapter 148 You Are My Uncle (Bonus Chapter for 5000 Monthly Tickets)

When Su Chao returned to the dressing room, he heard Zhang Heping telling Liu Dehua to prepare well and that he looked forward to a great success for his concert.

People within the system tend to be less direct in their speech.

This kind of wording is already being used to accommodate Andy Lau, in case he doesn't understand.

"Thank you, thank you so much! I will definitely work hard!"

Liu Dehua was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.

"Congratulations~"

Su Chao was also happy for Andy Lau.

The fact that things have turned around so quickly at least shows that the preliminary committee is very satisfied with the song "Chinese" and the singer, Andy Lau.

Upon learning that Andy Lau's concert was interrupted, he readily helped resolve the issue.

They don't even need to play games; it's just a matter of a phone call.

"We'll send tickets to Mr. Zhang then, and we welcome him to bring his family out for some entertainment."

Liu Dehua reciprocated the favor.

Su Chao doesn't need to say anything similar.

That would be too distant.

He planned to send Su Chao dozens of concert tickets when the concert was held in Beijing.

Invite whomever you want!

"If you put it that way, I won't hold back. My child loves listening to you sing."

Zhang Heping didn't hold back either.

For a considerable period afterward, Andy Lau and Su Chao were his achievements.

It's okay to get a little closer.

"Chaozai, why don't you be the guest performer?"

Liu Dehua extended an invitation to Su Chao.

The person he is most grateful to is Su Chao, who not only gave him two great songs but also solved his concert problem.

He is, after all, a superstar.

For a newcomer like Su Chao to be a guest at his concert is definitely a prestigious thing.

Around when?

Su Chao was worried that his schedule would conflict with the princess's concert.

so annoying!
So many people want him to be a guest at their concerts.

"Probably at the end of next month..."

The concert is unlikely to take place in the next few days.

From planning to preparation to implementation, it takes at least two or three months to coordinate everything.

Even though he has already done a lot of preliminary work, it is unlikely that the first game will start until at least late October.

Too late is not good either.

The large venues are all outdoors, and it gets cold in November and December. If it rains or snows, that would be terrifying.

The cold, icy rain slapped haphazardly against my face / Warm tears mingled with the cold rain / Suddenly, the colors before my eyes were obscured...

Listen to that, how fitting!

“Sure, but you’re not the first person to invite me to a concert. The princess invited me to attend her concerts in Hong Kong and Taipei in mid-October.”

Su Chao said with a smile.

His first concert guest was Princess Consort, and Andy Lau was the second.

A superstar and a superstar both invited him to perform on stage after he released his album.

This album is guaranteed to get attention.

“Your Highness, oh right, you also wrote a song for her. Her song cost 20,000 more than mine.”

Liu Dehua was quite curious about what song Su Chao wrote for the princess.

I'm even more curious whether the songs he wrote for the princess were as strange as these two.

One of them wanted him to take sides.

He was asked to sing in Hokkien, a language he didn't understand at all.

"Her song quality is about the same as yours. The main difference is that her song has both Mandarin and Cantonese versions, which is why I charged her 120,000."

A large part of Su Chao's high income comes from selling songs.

Princess Wang received 120,000, Andy Lau received 200,000, Sha Bao Liang received 30,000, and Han Hong received 15,000...

"You sold one of your songs for 120,000?"

Zhang Heping was just about to take his leave when he heard this shocking news.

His job salary corresponds to 680 yuan for grade 5, and his grade salary is set at 515 yuan for grade 9. Including seniority allowance, regional subsidy, food allowance, etc., the total amount is only a little over 1,000 yuan.

This is already considered a high salary.

However, compared to Su Chao's song, it still seems insignificant.

No wonder this kid was able to come up with over 400,000 yuan to build a school.

"They have high incomes, so we'll record it in the school history that the school's construction received help from Miss Wang, Mr. Liu Dehua, and the care of Mr. Zhang Heping..."

Su Chao is no longer afraid of Zhang Heping finding out.

He used most of his earnings to build schools, so no one could be jealous of him.

People will only think that he is both capable and kind-hearted.

“You… I know Director Tang Chuan of Project Hope. Let me introduce you two later. It’s not quite right for you to designate where to build a school, but your situation is rather special…”

Zhang Heping offered to help.

"Thank you so much!"

Su Chao was very grateful. This man was a deputy-rank official, and a high-ranking official in the capital. A single word from him was worth half a day of his speech. There really are people like that.

They value rules and power above all else, speak in official jargon, and never consider the purpose of their charity work.

"Stop with the formalities. I'm quite old, it's not too much for you to call me 'uncle,' is it? You're not a child either, how can you have no manners at all!"

Zhang Heping said, feigning anger.

"Oh, Uncle~ You've helped me so much, I've always considered you my uncle. I'm just too shy to call you that."

Su Chao didn't hesitate for even a second longer.

This is a high-ranking official in the capital, currently holding a position equivalent to a deputy rank.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's not impossible for him to be promoted to a full minister or even a vice minister in the future.

For a boy from the countryside to be able to know such a high-ranking official and even curry favor with him is absolutely a stroke of good fortune.

Of course, this does not mean that Su Chao can act with impunity.

Even if he were Zhang Heping's nephew, let alone just verbally calling him "uncle," he would be dealt with immediately if he did anything that affected Zhang's career.

Therefore, Zhang Heping's move cannot be used casually.

Using it once diminishes the bond, and using it too often could even turn them into enemies.

Actually, Su Chao hadn't even considered using it.

You can do without it, but you can’t live without it.

As long as he addresses Zhang Heping as uncle and nephew, it will be enough to deter some petty scoundrels.

As a reborn individual, he rarely encounters situations he cannot handle.

If we were to encounter such a situation, it would definitely be a matter of life and death, so there would be no need to consider the consequences.

Use whatever you have.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower!
Just like today, for Chang Li, he set up a multi-layered scheme, with Liu Dehua, Li Baotian, Zhang Heping... appearing one after another.

They also dropped a bombshell by donating 400,000 yuan.

Any one of them could actually help him resolve the crisis.

"You are a good kid, but you are too smart. You are prone to being too clever for your own good. Try to make more good connections in your spare time, which will benefit your future development."

Now that he was being addressed as "uncle," Zhang Heping spoke with more sincerity.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely learn from you."

Su Chao's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

"There's also the matter of schooling. In our time, doing things was more important than having a degree, but it's different now. A degree is becoming more and more important. There are some positions that you simply can't get without a decent degree."

Zhang Heping wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Having tea with Su Chao and Liu Dehua.

In the classroom, Chang Li, a senior acting teacher from the Central Academy of Drama, is giving a lesson to the trainees.

She doesn't preach grand principles like Li Baotian.

Instead, he acts like an examiner, conducting mock exams for the students in the classroom.

Does your training course teach this?

After testing several students, Chang Li finally realized something was wrong.

These students are performing way too well.

"Teaching? Our principal is very good at teaching this. When we first enrolled, he used this method to interview us. Only those who passed the interview could enroll, and those who didn't pass couldn't get into the class."

The trainees looked quite proud when they talked about it.

They not only paid the money, but they also passed the interview. If you don't have the skills, you can't get in even if you pay the money.

"What's your name?"

Chang Li sighed inwardly. This Su Chao wasn't just good at doing homework; he also taught students how to take exams!
Other training courses also teach this.

However, most training courses fail to teach it clearly.

Su Chao is different; his understanding of the art exam is extremely accurate and thorough.

Are we going to reform the art exams just for him?
It's probably not very useful.

As soon as you implement reforms, they can immediately come up with a countermeasure.

Sigh, no wonder Wang Jinsong wanted Su Chao to go to Beijing Film Academy.

Talent is rare!
This kid can single-handedly influence the admissions of the three major colleges.

It seems I'll have to have a serious talk with the department head when I get back. I absolutely have to get Su Chao to come over. It doesn't matter if you attend classes or take exams, it doesn't matter if you don't, as long as you have the label of our Central Academy of Drama on you.

"My name is Qin Hailu. Teacher, do you think I can get into the Central Academy of Drama or the Beijing Film Academy?"

Qin Hailu interrupted Chang Li's thoughts.

After composing herself, Chang Li asked, "Do you want to apply to the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama?"

The Central Academy of Drama is a prestigious institution.

I just don't know if this training course will be effective.

"I don't even know if I'll pass the exam, and I don't know what the exam will be about. I'll just take whatever the principal tells me to take. I'll listen to the principal..."

Qin Hailu replied without hesitation.

"..."

Chang Li's vision went black, and she almost fainted.

No, don't you even have your own thoughts?

When it comes to such a major life decision as which school to apply to, you don't make your own decisions, nor do you listen to your parents, but blindly follow an outsider who runs a training class.

Little did she know, Qin Hailu was a complete idiot.

She prefers not to use her brain if she can avoid it.

If it were any other student asking the question, they would probably get a more palatable answer from Teacher Chang.
