Huayu 1995

Chapter 197 She Can't Live Without Me (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In fact, the very next day, numerous Hong Kong media outlets reported that Su Chao had attended the Princess Concert.

There are some more normal ones, and I'd like to praise Su Chao for his excellent singing and songwriting.

Some also say that Su Chao has an amazing physique.

Or, as Su Chao hoped, his new album was of high quality, and "Goodbye" added to the Princess's concert.

However, many other media outlets fabricated all sorts of nonsense.

Princess Consort's solo concert features a historic guest appearance! Su Chao will be the closing act for a duet. Their sweet smiles and flirtatious interactions, along with the backstage outfit-changing clip, are undeniably suggestive!
The princess, who always dominates the stage, has broken her rule! She suddenly announced a mystery guest for her concert, causing a stir among the audience when Su Chao appeared.

The two not only sang a duet in close proximity but also held hands tightly, and the princess rarely smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared!
Backstage footage: Su Chao barges into the princess's private changing area and stays for 20 minutes!

I broke my vows for my younger boyfriend!

Springtime Backstage Surprise!
Of course, there was also no shortage of in-depth analysis of Su Chao's past.

Exclusive exposé: Princess's new lover Su Chao's shady past in nightclubs exposed! He rose to power by relying on wealthy women, and his list of ambiguous relationships during his time as a resident singer includes a married woman from a wealthy family!

A well-known wealthy woman in mainland China once gifted Su Chao a gold Rolex worth millions. During his time as a resident singer, Su Chao was decked out in designer brands, all paid for by his wife. It was also revealed that a wealthy woman directly helped him pay the down payment for a house!
Su Chao is now attached to the Queen Consort, solidifying his reputation as a gigolo?

And based on his outfit at yesterday's concert, the title was "A Giant Cannon Descends on Hong Kong!"
It's speculated that as long as Su Chao didn't stuff anything in his crotch, his size must be quite large.

It's a mixed bag; it gained popularity, but its reputation is almost completely ruined.

Actually, Su Chao doesn't care about these things.

He no longer cares about saving face.

These baseless rumors have absolutely no impact on his career.

Once he reaches a higher position, naturally no one will believe him anymore.

However, when he saw the person he was supposed to meet at the tea restaurant, along with the entertainment newspaper under his elbow, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no, this first impression of meeting the parents is going to be bad.

"Su Chao?"

"Hello, uncle!"

Su Chao and the other person sized each other up.

This uncle was about 1.8 meters tall, thin, and had a refined demeanor. He didn't seem like a businessman; he was more like an artist.

In Uncle Lin's eyes, Su Chao was naturally a handsome man.

They look so... decent-looking.

It's like a contest between masters; first, they stand in a stalemate, and then they start fighting.

Uncle Lin's newspaper was actually a move in itself.

Kid, don't think I don't know. You'd better explain yourself.

And why would Su Chao take the initiative to explain?

"Mengmeng asked me to meet Uncle. I didn't expect Uncle to be so young, handsome, and extraordinary..."

Before saying anything else, I'll just offer a few compliments.

No one in this world dislikes hearing pleasant sounds.

"Mengmeng?"

Uncle Lin raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this form of address a little too cloying?

Even he calls her Xiaomeng.

"Ah, I usually call her sister."

Su Chao seemed a little embarrassed, but he didn't do anything unsteady like scratching his head or ears.

"How old are you?"

Uncle Lin's eyes were full of scrutiny.

Both nieces are exceptionally beautiful, especially the elder niece, who could be described as a beauty of unparalleled grace.

It's a well-known saying that beautiful women often have tragic fates. While it's not quite as exaggerated in modern society, if not handled properly, their love lives can still be bumpy.

Especially since she studied dance and music.

They are more likely to come into contact with so-called musical prodigies and artistic youths, and many girls have little resistance to this type of person.

Uncle Lin was always worried that his eldest niece had been scammed.

Fortunately, because of her parents, this niece has a pessimistic attitude towards marriage and love.

He has stated multiple times that he will never get married in his life.

But too much of a good thing can be bad. Uncle Lin doesn't want his niece to stay single forever.

My niece called this time, hoping he would consider investing in a movie. If he wasn't interested, she said he could deduct it from his year-end bonus.

He was stunned.

This is the first time my niece has ever asked a man to do something for her.

Moreover, it's not a small amount.

Their family mainly deals in musical instruments and owns many shops. Their business is doing quite well, but their niece's annual dividends are only a million.

Using that money to invest in movies seems like a sign of being love-struck.

Could he be mistaken? His niece isn't against marriage, but rather someone obsessed with romance.

I don't know which is more troublesome.

“I’m eighteen years old. After graduating from high school, I went to the capital to make my way in the world. I met Mengmeng when I went to a music store, and we became friends.”

Su Chao displayed a maturity far beyond his years.

He chatted freely with Uncle Lin, who was in his forties, without any restraint.

It's easy for people to overlook that he's a greenhorn.

Even if you ignore his appearance and only observe his speech and behavior, some people would believe that he is a successful 30-year-old.

"You two became friends as soon as you met?"

Uncle Lin didn't believe it.

How could he not know his niece? Normally, she wouldn't even say a word to a stranger.

Especially those who drool over her. "No, it wasn't that. After visiting a few more times, we gradually hit it off. Mainly, we had a lot to talk about. I asked her for some knowledge about musical instruments and even asked her to be my vocal teacher."

Su Chao gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Manipulating words is his forte. It was clearly Chen Jiantian who hired the vocal coach for him, but it just so happened that Lin Zhimeng was hired instead.

In his mouth, it became that Lin Zhimeng voluntarily taught him vocal music.

A woman willing to make such a sacrifice.

Uncle Lin found it hard to believe that his niece hadn't developed feelings for him.

"Musical instrument teacher~"

After hearing about the process, Uncle Lin believed it even more.

"Mengmeng is actually a very gentle girl. She taught me vocal music with great care and even recommended that I sing in Casablanca so that I would have a stage to practice in public."

The story is still the same story.

However, if the order and details of the story are slightly adjusted, everything changes.

"The karaoke bar is really nice. I heard you went home at midnight, and a lot of people laughed at you for being a child."

Uncle Lin laughed heartily.

His words also revealed that he had investigated Su Chao's affairs and was not completely ignorant; you'd better not try to fool me.

The owner of Casablanca is his friend.

It was very easy for him to find out.

"Karaoke bars are fine for singing, but otherwise they're too chaotic. I've opened an advertising company and released an album, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to sing there again in the future."

When the waiter served the food, Su Chao reached out to take it, which revealed his Rolex on his wrist.

It was practically right under his nose; Uncle Lin saw it at a glance.

I almost gasped.

So it was this watch. My niece really went all out!

The newspaper said that Su Chao was given a Rolex by a rich woman.

It seems I wasn't wrong about him.

However, this wealthy woman was his own niece, and they were also in a romantic relationship.

Uncle Lin didn't overlook the advertising company mentioned in Su Chao's words, and asked with a smile, "You even own an advertising company? Is the advertising business in mainland China easy to do now?"

"The mainland economy is developing rapidly, and state-owned enterprises are also undergoing reform. The advertising market has huge potential. We received five orders in just one month after opening, with a total revenue of about three million."

Business people, when it comes to business, they feel like they've known each other for ages.

"I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age."

Uncle Lin was a little worried that this young man might be a kept man.

I'm already amazed at my niece's discerning eye for talent.

“Many things were discussed with Mengmeng. We both have shares in the advertising company. This time, when we came to Hong Kong to set up a film company, I originally planned to do it with Mengmeng as well. But Mengmeng said that Uncle, your business is in the expansion phase, so she thought of inviting you to invest in the film together…”

Mengmeng loves me to death; she can't live without me.

Mengmeng and I have never forgotten our uncle.

After saying all that, Uncle Lin had already come to regard Su Chao as his nephew-in-law.

It's a bit of a pity that the child is only eighteen years old.

The Marriage Law of 1950 stipulated that "men must be 20 years old and women must be 18 years old to get married."

In 1980, it was changed to: "The legal age for marriage is no earlier than 22 years old for men and no earlier than 20 years old for women."

It would be nice to get married in Hong Kong.

The regulations here stipulate that anyone aged 16 or older can get married, but if the age is under 21, the consent of both parents or guardians is required.

"I don't understand movies, but I'm willing to invest. However, from a business perspective, I still want to ask you whether this movie is a commercial film aimed at profit or an art film aimed at fame. You need to make sure I understand what I'm investing in."

Now that Uncle Lin had accepted his niece's husband, he stopped beating around the bush.

"Uncle, don't worry. The company is just starting out. We need to survive before we can think about art. The two scripts I have on hand right now were created to make money."

Su Chao remained very clear-headed.

"So, it's like I, as your uncle, am taking advantage of you (the young couple), haha~"

Uncle Lin was in a very good mood.

He immediately took out his checkbook and wrote a check for one million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, cashing checks isn't that simple.

When exchanging the checkbook, the bank will verify the signature reserved when the checkbook was purchased, and the bank teller will conduct a handwriting comparison. More importantly, they will also confirm with the drawer by phone.

Moreover, counterfeiting this thing carries a very heavy penalty.

Few people take as many risks as the characters in "Catch Me If You Can".

That movie probably hasn't been released yet.

However, the film is based on an autobiographical story, making it difficult for outsiders to initiate the project.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Uncle Lin gave him a check directly, without even signing an agreement or keeping a receipt, is enough to show his trust in Su Chao, his "nephew-in-law".

In this way, Su Chao will have six million.

The one million from Milkyway Image was secured by Su Chao persuading Wei Jiahui using the concept of "walking on two legs".

Of the four million Liu Dehua had, two million was Liu Dehua's investment and two million was borrowed by Su Chao.

Now Uncle Lin has given another million.

With the lead actor's salary not being high, six million was enough to produce "My Sassy Girl," and there would even be some left over for promotion.

Uncle Lin said goodbye to Su Chao and called Lin Zhimeng as soon as he got home.

"Xiaomeng, you have great taste in boyfriends!"
