Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

Qi Zhansheng frowned: "Dad, what do we do next?"

Qi's father snorted coldly, "What do you mean, 'what to do'? We'll find someone ourselves."

Despite the Qi family's best efforts to smooth things over, with Qi's father sending various local specialties to each family, Qi Weiguo was still sentenced to seven years and seven months in prison.

This incident caused quite a stir in some areas of Yanbei. Even Yang Dui was confined to his home for a long time and was not allowed to go out. Yang Fan and Qi Zhansheng did not speak to each other for several days.

Wang Xiaobing also felt very guilty, believing that he had harmed Qi Weiguo by delivering the message...

As Su Li stepped out of the school gate after school that day, she heard a shout from behind. Wen Xiaoya ran over with a bright smile and said, "Class monitor, come to my house. My mom wants to treat you to a meal, and she also wants you to help me with a few math problems."

"Now?" Su Li glanced at the sky, which was about to darken.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Wen Xiaoya reached out and tugged at his sleeve, laughing and talking as they headed towards her house. This scene was witnessed by Qi Zhanguo, who had followed Wen Xiaoya out.

He frowned and followed the two, his expression turning even more unpleasant when he saw Su Li enter Wen Xiaoya's house.

But he couldn't rush in, so he could only slam his fist against the wall and leave in anger.

……

"There are two solutions to this problem. One of them is this one, which is the fastest, most time-efficient, and simplest to clean..."

Su Li held a fountain pen and wrote down lines in her notebook, her handwriting delicate and neat, a sight to behold.

Wen Xiaoya sat to his side, resting her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes darting around, occasionally glancing at the questions or at the handsome boy in front of her. She couldn't help but say, "Class monitor, you're amazing! Your handwriting is beautiful too."

"You flatter me, just practice more."

Su Li continued writing the answer to the second question on the paper without stopping her hands.

Wen Xiaoya asked curiously, "Class monitor, you're not from Yanbei, are you?"

"Why not?" Su Li looked up at her.

"I think your way of speaking and your temperament are out of place with the rest of the class." Wen Xiaoya's most profound impression of him was from her first day in the classroom.

"I wasn't born in Yanbei, but I grew up here."

"Yeah?"

The curtain behind them was lifted, and Wen Xiaoya, who was sitting opposite them, spoke up: "Mom, why are you peeking at me?"

A woman wearing a mask came out and said in a gentle tone, "You are my daughter, why can't I see you? Besides, I've been looking at you every single day since you were born."

"Hello, Auntie!" Su Li stood up and greeted the woman.

"Hello, thank you so much for your help to my Xiaoya these past few days. You two chat while I go cook."

Wen's mother came to see this young man, and indeed he was handsome and elegant. Even in her experience, she had never seen such an outstanding boy.

Su Li had a light yet plentiful meal at Wen's mother's house, mainly consisting of vegetarian dishes, and the taste was decent. After finishing the meal, Su Li said goodbye.

"Mom, you pack up, I'm going to help the class monitor."

Wen Xiaoya followed her out the door, and the two walked outside together. Night had fallen, the moonlight was like water, and the streetlights shone brightly, dispelling the darkness.

"Thank you, class monitor, for letting you go home so late," Wen Xiaoya said apologetically, her hands behind her back.

"It's alright, you should go back too." Su Li thought for a moment, then reached into her bag and pulled out two chocolates out of thin air, handing them to the other person. "These are for you, don't let anyone know."

"This is... chocolate? I can't have it..." Wen Xiaoya had seen this kind of snack in movies. It's almost non-existent in most cities in China, and it's also expensive.

"These were gifts from relatives. I have quite a few more. You can take them."

The chocolates, of course, had their labels and packaging removed; Zurich wouldn't reveal a single clue.

"Okay then, thank you, class monitor." Wen Xiaoya accepted it with both hands, beaming.

"Okay, bye-bye..."

Su Li waved and disappeared from her sight at the street corner. After walking more than ten meters forward, he stopped and spoke directly without looking back.

"Come out, Big Red!"

A short-haired woman jumped out from behind the corner, looking surprised. She asked, puzzled, "How did you know it was me?"

"Qi Zhansheng told you, didn't he?" Su Li turned around. He knew that kid was behind him when he went to Wen Xiaoya's house.

"So what if you did? If Wen Xiaoya's mom hadn't been home, I would have thought you and her did *that*." Guan Dahong said angrily. She was furious if someone else beat her to the guy she had liked for so long.

"It's tutoring."

Su Li looked at the girl with fair skin, a pretty face, and a slender figure. He suppressed the scumbag thoughts in his heart, walked over and pressed her against the wall step by step, staring at her in a wall-slamming position.

What are you doing?

Guan Dahong was embarrassed. Despite how bold she usually was, she actually had very little experience.

Su Li didn't answer. Instead, he pinched the woman's snow-white chin and lowered his head to kiss her.

Her other hand reached inside her clothes...

Guan Dahong responded awkwardly and passively, her delicate body pressing against him.

"Alright, let's go back."

If they continued playing, they would lose control, so Su Li wisely stopped at the crucial moment and started to run away.

Guan Dahong's fair face flushed red. She wiped her mouth and asked loudly, "Are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

"Maybe..."

"What's possible? You've treated me like this, and yet..."

Guan Dahong wanted to ask more questions, but the man in the distance had already walked away. She stomped her foot angrily and went home as well.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye during Su Li's high school life in Yanbei. During this time, Wang Xiaobing's father was accidentally injured by equipment while working in the factory and died.

But this didn't affect Su Li much. He bought some fruit at the supply and marketing cooperative on the way and took advantage of the weekend to visit the Yanbei Urban Architectural Design Institute where Tan Yanfei worked.

"Let go! Men Jianping, let go of me!"

"I won't let you go. I'm your fiancé, you should come with me, not stay here."

"I don't care where you want to go, I'm not interested in your ideals... Let go."

A man and a woman were seen struggling in the courtyard. The woman with long, flowing hair was Tan Yanfei, and the other man was her fiancé, Men Jianping.

"I told you to stop, why are you still pulling?" Su Li said loudly.

The two who were struggling stopped what they were doing. Tan Yanfei quickly let go of him, and Men Jianping pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and looked at the boy who had suddenly appeared. He was so handsome that even Men Jianping was jealous.

"Yanfei, well, another one. Looks like you have plenty of people more suitable than me in Yanbei, right?"

"That's right, Men Jianping. There are plenty of guys who are better than you. Don't pretend with me." Tan Yanfei said breathlessly, brushing her messy hair behind her ear.

A beautiful woman with long hair also rushed out of the design building. She came to Tan Yanfei's side and asked, "Yanfei, are you alright?"

Tan Yanfei shook her head, looked at Men Jianping and said, "Leave, you're not welcome here."

Men Jianping adjusted his glasses, glanced at the growing crowd, and looked at her: "Yanfei, think carefully about what I'm saying. There's no future in staying in this small place. Coming with me is your best chance."

"What are you talking about, calling it a small place? What are you saying?" The beautiful woman with long hair immediately became dissatisfied.

"snort!"

Men Jianping ignored her, adjusted the strap of his black bag, and turned to leave.

"What the hell!" the long-haired, beautiful woman muttered under her breath, then looked at Su Li and nudged Tan Yanfei with her elbow: "Who's this handsome guy? Introduce him to me."

"I taught a class at a high school before, and he's the student I mentioned to you who has a special talent for design... Su Li!" Tan Yanfei introduced.

"Oh, hello, I'm Lin Xiaobei, Yanfei's colleague." Lin Xiaobei extended her hand to Su Li.

This woman was tall with long, black hair and a pretty face. She wore a plaid coat and light blue trousers. Her looks and temperament were not as good as Tan Yanfei's, but she was still considered a beauty.

"Hello, I just happened to be passing by and wanted to visit Teacher Tan," Su Li said with a smile.

"Come on, let's sit inside and talk."

Lin Xiaobei took the initiative to invite her, and Tan Yanfei also said, "Come on over, why bring anything? Take this fruit back with you, I don't need it here. I only taught you one lesson last time, so I'm not really your teacher."

"Even a single class is still a class."

Su Li followed them. The interior was a bit messy, with some women busy with their own things, writing and drawing on the table.

The three of them found a moment to sit down and chat. Tan Yanfei seemed lost in thought, while Lin Xiaobei was quite interested in him and specially took out her design drawings to ask him for some pointers.

"The neckline can be turned down, the hem of the skirt can be shortened slightly, the buttons can be set here, and a pocket can be added at the top..."

In this era, most people's fashion was not very innovative. Even without looking at the patterns, Su Li's guidance based solely on her own experience was enough to make people feel good.

Lin Xiaobei's eyes lit up in surprise: "Now that you mention it, the finished clothes actually look quite nice. Yanfei said you have a talent for design, and it's true... I'll have to ask you for advice more often in the future."

"I will answer any question."

Su Li and Lin Xiaobei chatted quite happily. Tan Yanfei didn't say much, only occasionally interjecting a sentence. Just like in the original drama, she was already planning to leave Yanbei.

At noon, the three of them went out for a casual meal. While Lin Xiaobei went to the restroom, Su Li looked at the bright and charming woman.

"Teacher Tan, is something on your mind?"

Tan Yanfei shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth and said silently, "I'm wondering if we should go somewhere else..."

Su Li's eyes flashed: "Because of your fiancé?"

"Um!"

"Actually, it's good to go out and travel. If you want to become a fashion designer, you need to see more people, scenery, and places. These are all knowledge points. The talent of design is the flash of inspiration in the collision of knowledge. Staying in one place all the time is really not very useful."

Su Li not only didn't try to persuade her to stay, but instead told her to leave Yanbei, because only in this way could she better trick Yang Fan.

In the original drama, when the boy heard the news that Tan Yanfei had resigned, he ran away from home when the college entrance examination was approaching, traveling thousands of miles to find his love. How could such behavior not be touching? He did eventually meet Tan Yanfei and even stayed at her home for two or three days, personally eating the meal cooked by the goddess.

Su Li thought this behavior was too much of a bootlicker. He had to set up some obstacles for Yang Fan this time. Wouldn't he have to overcome many difficulties and hardships to see the goddess?

Tan Yanfei nodded slightly: "You're right, I'll go back and prepare before leaving."

"Where are you going? Leave me an address so we can meet again in the future." Su Li looked at the woman.

"I'm going back to Mianshan for a while, please write this down..."

Two days after they parted ways at the hotel, Tan Yanfei returned to Mianshan. Yang Fan also learned about this by chance. He didn't believe it and went to the design institute to ask someone. He was shocked.

The goddess is gone, she has left the city... He returned home dejectedly, his mind filled with Tan Yanfei's beautiful image, every smile and frown vividly alive.

"Yes, what's wrong with your brother? He hasn't said a word since he came back, and he seems to have lost all his energy," Yang's mother asked worriedly.

Yang dared not reveal that the girl her younger brother liked had left, so she pretended not to know: "I don't know either, it seems to be about his relationship with Qi Zhansheng."

Yang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked something else: "Qi Weiguo is about to be transferred to Nanlin Prison. When are you going to visit him?"

Yang fell silent for a moment, biting her lip: "My dad won't let me go. He's afraid that if I go... I promised Weiguo I'd wait for him for seven years."

"Yes, your father is right. It's really not appropriate for him to win." Yang's mother also advised her daughter to let go of that person.

Yang didn't speak. Qi Weiguo's imprisonment had a great psychological impact on her. Even though she still liked him, the thought of not being able to see him again for seven years made her tremble.

Seven years... that's such a long time...

Inside the room, Yang Fan listened to his older sister and mother's conversation outside, but his mind was already considering leaving home to find Tan Yanfei. He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually hardening, and he made up his mind.

……

Bang bang bang!

The doors and windows were being banged on. Su Li, wearing shorts, opened the door and saw the two sisters, Guan Dahong and Guan Xiaoyu, looking anxious.

"What's wrong?"

Guan Xiaoyu, being straightforward, said urgently, "Brother Su, something happened to my dad..."

Guan Dahong pulled her younger sister into the house and closed the door before explaining the situation in detail. It turned out that her father had been reported for some reason.

"Uncle, why are you so foolish? This is a crime, and a serious one at that."

Su Li had met Guan's father several times. The latter looked upright, but was actually cunning and treacherous, and very bold.

"Brother Su, please help me. My dad said that only you can save him now." Guan Xiaoyu's face was covered in tears, and she kept sobbing.

"alright!"

Su Li gave a cold shout, and the two women immediately dared not speak again.

He didn't actually want to help, but in the original drama, this family had the ability to find a local bigwig, Guan's father's old classmate, for help.

If he doesn't help, someone else will; it's better to get some benefits than to do that.

"Who sent you to find me?"

The two sisters exchanged a glance. Guan Dahong's eyes were pleading as she whispered, "When my father was arrested, he told us he was looking for you. He didn't ask to be exonerated, he just wanted his sentence reduced as much as possible."

"I'll try my best. There are some preparations you need to make, you know?" Su Li said, looking at them meaningfully.

The two women understood that to smooth things over, they needed to source goods, and money was indispensable.

After saying that, he saw the two women out the door. Guan Dahong turned to look at Su Li, quickly walked over, hugged him, and kissed him.

Guan Xiaoyu, who was still in front, saw what the two were doing, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly turned around, secretly cursing, "Sister, really, doing this in front of me."

But she also knew that this was her sister deliberately trying to please Brother Su.

"I'll do anything if you can save my dad."

Guan Dahong cradled the boy's handsome face and spoke tenderly.

"I can only do my best... Go." Su Li nodded.

"By the way, we've moved from our old place to a new building on South Street."

Guan Dahong said with a somber expression that their family's house was allocated according to their job positions, and since her father had been arrested, they could no longer live in such a nice house.

"I know, I'll come see you when I have time."

Su Li didn't take the sisters' matter too seriously, but she still asked around through her connections. It was true that their sentences could be reduced, but their father would have to honestly explain all sorts of things.

That's easy. He can just have Guan Dahong put in a good word for Guan's father, and then find some more people to transport the goods. He can try to reduce the sentence as much as possible within the scope of the law.

While he was at school and busy with these things, he also received news that Yang Fan had run away from home and quietly went to the train station...
