The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 194 Genius and Room Swap (4k)

ten minutes later.

The Bosu V260L slowly pulled up in front of the main entrance of the Houtang Hongqi Street store.

As the electric scooter door opened, Gu Heng led Liu Nanyi and the other two girls out of the scooter and walked straight into the Houtang.

Zhong Hua, who was originally sitting in the passenger seat, picked two people from the two Hongqi Guoyao cars in front and behind, and silently followed Gu Heng into the car.

"Shall we go straight to the private room?"

Gu Heng glanced at Liu Nanyi and casually asked.

"Yaoyao just messaged me saying that we should just go to the private room."

Liu Nanyi nodded: "Her boyfriend has already booked the private room and ordered all the drinks."

"Let's go then."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, then took the lead and walked towards the elevator.

Hongqi Street and Guilin Road are two bustling commercial districts in Beichun, attracting a large number of young people every day. So even though it's Thursday, the area is still very lively.

Gao Junlin had reserved a deluxe private room, located on the third floor of Houtang.

Gu Heng and the others took the elevator to the private room. As Liu Nanyi had said, the drinks had already been ordered in advance, and the two square tables were filled with aluminum cans of Budweiser, as well as two large fruit platters and several snacks.

"Where are Yao Yao and the others?"

As Su Tang took off her coat, she asked Liu Nanyi.

"almost there."

"five minutes."

Liu Nanyi also took off her bulky down jacket, revealing a pretty floral sundress underneath, and then sat down directly next to Gu Heng.

This left only one seat next to Gu Heng.

"Then let's wait for them."

Just as Su Tang was starting to consider it, Lin Qingge naturally sat down next to Gu Heng and then smiled as she spoke to Liu Nanyi and Su Tang.

Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in the eyes of both women.

'Qingge…'

'I think I was a little too proactive today!'

The same thought flashed through their minds simultaneously.

The karaoke session was Gao Junlin's treat. Although it was ostensibly to celebrate Liu Nanyi's birthday and to reciprocate by inviting her to dinner, it was still Gao Junlin who paid for it, so it was only right and proper to wait until she arrived before singing and drinking.

So the four of them sat in the private room, chatting and waiting for others.

They waited for more than ten minutes, but still no one came.

"what's the situation?"

"Why haven't Yao Yao and the others arrived yet?"

Su Tang raised her wrist to check the time, her expression slightly puzzled.

"I'll call and ask."

Liu Nanyi picked up her phone from the table, but just as she was about to call Feng Yao, a series of chaotic footsteps and bursts of laughter came from outside the private room.

The next second, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Feng Yao walked in first, followed by Gao Junlin and the others.

Besides Gao Junlin's four roommates, there were five unfamiliar men in this group, who all seemed to be around the same age.

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly upon seeing this, while Liu Nanyi, Su Tang, and Lin Qingge all frowned noticeably.

"Come on, come on!"

"Let me introduce you!"

"This is Wu Zixiang, our senior from Jilin University of Physical Education!"

"A national-level athlete in the 100-meter sprint!"

Gao Junlin put his arm around the other person's shoulder and introduced him in a very enthusiastic tone.

"Hello everyone!"

After Gao Junlin finished introducing himself to everyone, Wu Zixiang waved to them.

At this moment, as he looked at Su Tang and the other two women who had shed their bulky down jackets, his eyes brimmed with undisguised amazement.

beautiful!

Even though the lighting in the private room was dim, it still couldn't hide the stunning beauty of Su Tang and her two friends.

"Nanyi, our senior brother is having a gathering in the next private room."

Gao Junlin stood at the front and asked Liu Nanyi directly in front of everyone, "We just happened to run into each other, and I thought it would be more lively with more people, and since we're all around the same age, I invited them all over. You don't mind, do you?"

"do not mind."

Liu Nanyi forced a smile.

Gao Junlin brought everyone in, and then asked her in front of everyone. What could she possibly say?
"Come on, come on!"

"Seniors, please make yourselves at home!"

Gao Junlin, acting like a host, greeted everyone: "I'm so glad I booked a deluxe private room, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough room."

"Junlin, we still have quite a few drinks left in our private room."

Wu Zixiang hadn't really intended to move to this private room; he was planning to have a drink with Gao Junlin and then head back. However, after seeing Liu Nanyi and the other two girls, he immediately changed his mind: "Let's bring those drinks over; don't waste them."

"it's okay no problem."

"I'll just tell the waiter to bring it."

Gao Junlin greeted them warmly, appearing quite attentive.

It's important to understand that Jilin Sports Center is not the same as Yantai Sports Center. While national-level athletes are everywhere in Yantai, they are treasures in Jilin Sports Center, especially national-level athletes in track and field sprint events, which have extremely high prestige.

In sports academies, the strong are always respected.

With such achievements, Wu Zixiang naturally became a prominent figure in Jilin Sports.

Although Gao Junlin's family is wealthy, he is still young and inexperienced. He has an innate sense of admiration for prominent figures on campus like Wu Zixiang, and feels that being able to become friends with them is a very cool thing.

The once somewhat empty private room was suddenly filled with ten people, instantly making it lively.

Gao Junlin and the others called the waiters to bring out the wine, while Feng Yao sat down next to Liu Nanyi.

"Yaoyao, what's your boyfriend up to?"

"Is today my birthday or his?"

"Even if you're bringing friends, you should at least let us know in advance!"

Liu Nanyi's pure and lovely face showed a hint of anger as she questioned Feng Yao in a low voice.

"Yiyi, don't be angry."

"He might have had a bit too much to drink, and he just took it upon himself to make the decision."

Feng Yao was a little embarrassed and tried to find an excuse: "But he meant well. He thought that since we are all the same age, it would be more lively if we got together."

"Impressed……"

Hearing Feng Yao say that, Liu Nanyi didn't know what else to say. She could only lean back on the sofa, a hint of frustration showing on her fair face.

Throughout this time, Gu Heng maintained a smile as he observed everything before him.

"Gu Heng, let's move over there a bit."

Lin Qingge suddenly whispered to Gu Heng.

They were originally sitting in the middle-left position, but now that so many people have suddenly arrived, Su Tang took the initiative to sit in the far edge of the door to avoid other boys sitting next to her.

"Row."

Gu Heng glanced at them and knew what Su Tang and Lin Qingge meant, so he immediately got up and sat down next to them.

Soon, everyone was seated.

"Come on, come on!"

Let's raise a glass together!

Happy birthday again to Liu Nanyi!

Gao Junlin sat on the other side of Feng Yao. After everyone was seated, he picked up a bottle of Budweiser.

"Happy birthday!"

With beautiful women present, and four of them being top beauties, many of the boys were quite excited. In addition, since they were all sports students, when they saw Gao Junlin pick up a bottle, they all abandoned their glasses and picked up the aluminum bottle of Budweiser instead.

"thank you all."

Liu Nanyi, holding her wine glass, merely responded politely.

Then, many boys tilted their heads back and started chugging.

Gu Heng found the scene before him inexplicably amusing.

The bottle of wine was quickly finished by Gao Junlin and the others, and then hiccups began to echo continuously in the private room.

"Yaoyao, sing a song?"

After Gao Junlin finished drinking, he asked Feng Yao.

"alright."

Feng Yao was also very unhappy about Gao Junlin's unauthorized decision-making, but she could only choose to continue to maintain the status quo due to the circumstances.

Feng Yao stood up and took the microphone from the table.

Although her professional level is far inferior to that of Su Tang and Lin Qingge, she is still a professional, and she sings in public without any pretense.

……

Where are you hiding, daydreaming, my dear?
What worries are you still unable to let go of?
We always think the worst of life.
Like others don't allow us to be strange

……

Soon, Feng Yao's singing began.

The moment he opened his mouth, Wu Zixiang and the others showed a hint of surprise.

That aura, that voice, that emotion...

Let them immediately realize just how huge the gap is between amateur and professional.

"Awesome!" Wu Zixiang and the others couldn't help but clap and cheer.

Upon hearing this, Gao Junlin felt incredibly proud.

On the right, the atmosphere was electric.

The atmosphere on the left is peaceful.

"Is this the version by Shan Yichun?"

Gu Heng asked Liu Nanyi and the others.

"Yes~"

Liu Nanyi nodded.

"Eh?"

Gu Heng suddenly asked with interest, "When Shan Yichun won the annual championship of 'The Voice of China,' she was about the same age as you are now, right? How do you think you compare to her?"

When Liu Nanyi, Su Tang, and Lin Qingge heard Gu Heng's question, they first looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they all burst into laughter, a sight that left Wu Zixiang and the other boys on the other side completely stunned.

"Gu Heng, you're a boy, you must have read fantasy novels, right?"

After Lin Qingge finished laughing, she asked Gu Heng.

"That's for sure."

Gu Heng nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Then let me use this analogy to explain it to you."

Lin Qingge said with a smile, "If we compare all the music academies in the country to a fantasy world, then the Central Conservatory of Music would be a super holy sect that has been suppressing all ages, while our Jilin University School of Arts is at most a top sect that dominates a region."

"Looking across the country, those who can get into the Central Conservatory of Music every year are all undisputed geniuses."

“If you pick any one of them out, they would probably be just as good as me and Su Tang. You can imagine how difficult it is for ordinary people to get into the Central Conservatory of Music.”

Lin Qingge paused at this point.

"However, even the top geniuses of Yangyin, who would be the pride of heaven in any major sect that dominates a region, paled in comparison to Shan Yichun."

"Top geniuses are merely the threshold for meeting Shan Yichun."

Su Tang picked up the conversation and continued:
"How do you say that?"

"If you don't study music, seeing her is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky."

"If you study music, seeing her is like an ant seeing the blue sky."

"This is the difference between us and Shan Yichun; there's absolutely no comparison."

After listening to Lin Qingge and Su Tang's explanation, Gu Heng truly understood just how awesome Shan Yichun was. At the same time, he also realized why his words had made Su Tang and the other two girls laugh so much.

Its absurdity is no less than that of a hydra telling Benbobaer: Go and get rid of Tang Sanzang and his disciples!
The song was finished very quickly.

The crowd applauded and cheered, and Feng Yao returned to her original seat.

"Yiyi, Tangtang, Qingge, would you like to sing a song?"

Feng Yao looked at Liu Nanyi and the other two, and tentatively handed them the microphone.

"No."

Su Tang shook her head.

Although Liu Nanyi and Lin Qingge did not respond, they both seemed uninterested.

"Ok."

Feng Yao understood what they meant and handed the microphone to Gao Junlin beside her: "You guys sing."

"Then I'll sing one."

Gao Junlin stood up and took over singing from Feng Yao.

While Feng Yao was singing, Gao Junlin and the others frequently raised their glasses and drank quite a bit. Now, Wu Zixiang finally couldn't suppress his inner impulse and picked up his glass to walk towards Su Tang.

"Want a drink, classmate?"

Wu Zixiang flashed what he considered a handsome smile and walked over to Su Tang, inviting her to join him.

"Feel sorry."

"I have a limited alcohol tolerance."

Su Tang held up the bottled water on the table, seemingly smiling politely, but her intention to keep people at arm's length was all too obvious.

"Forehead……"

"Alright alright."

Wu Zixiang was surprised by Su Tang's arrogance. She refused to even drink a glass of wine after he took the initiative to approach her, which immediately thwarted his plan to ask for her WeChat.

"Brother, let's have a drink."

Wu Zixiang felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Lin Qingge and Liu Nanyi were completely ignoring him, he immediately turned his wine glass towards Gu Heng and invited him to join in.

"Okay."

Gu Heng smiled, raised his wine glass, and clinked it against Wu Zixiang's.

However, Gu Heng only took a sip before putting the glass down again, while Wu Zixiang drank the whole glass of wine.

Wu Zixiang put down his wine glass. When he saw that Gu Heng had only taken a sip, he finally couldn't keep a straight face, and his expression suddenly turned somewhat ugly.

"Brother, we're all men."

Wu Zixiang said with a forced smile, "There's no such thing as drinking beer by just taking a sip. You can't be a real man if you don't down the glass."

"Oh?"

"Does your sports college differentiate genders according to this standard?"

Gu Heng looked slightly surprised: "That's really quite strange."

"you……"

Faced with Gu Heng's merciless retort, Wu Zixiang became even angrier, but as a military officer, he was not good with words and simply stood there speechless.

"Brilliant!"

Wu Zixiang nodded, gave Gu Heng a thumbs up, and turned back to his original position somewhat angrily.

"Do you think he'll talk about me behind my back after he goes back?"

Gu Heng didn't take Wu Zixiang seriously at all. After the other party left in a huff, Gu Heng turned to Liu Nanyi and asked with a smile.

"It looks like he's already playing with crickets."

Liu Nanyi glanced at where Wu Zixiang and the others were, then responded in a low voice.

"Hey……"

"It's really rather boring."

"Didn't we agree that I could touch your little feet?"

"When can I touch you?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow at Liu Nanyi and teased her.

"Yes……"

"Yes!"

"I did agree to it!"

"But...but how can I let you touch me here!"

Liu Nanyi blushed slightly as she thought of her previous promise, and replied calmly.

"Then let's go somewhere else."

Gu Heng continued to tease Liu Nanyi.

Where should we change to?

Liu Nanyi's face turned even redder and her voice became even softer.

"How about we change rooms?"

Gu Heng replied.

"Didn't they say the rooms were full?"

Liu Nanyi whispered, "Are there any private rooms available?"

"I said yes."

Gu Heng took out his phone, opened the independent APP developed by the outsourcing company commissioned by Xingchuan International Group, and then used his director privileges to find the store manager of Houtang Hongqi Street Store and sent him a few messages.

"Let's go."

"We've found a place."

"You can leave your coat here."

Gu Heng put away his phone and spoke to Liu Nanyi.

"Good~"

Liu Nanyi was a little shy.

Soon, the two of them stood up one after the other.

Gu Heng was the first to leave the private room, and just as Liu Nanyi was about to follow him out, Su Tang quickly grabbed Liu Nanyi's wrist and asked, "Yiyi, where are you going?"

"Something's going on."

"I'll return it later."

Liu Nanyi was naturally too embarrassed to tell Su Tang and the other person that she went out with Gu Heng because she had promised Gu Heng to play with her bound feet and she had to fulfill her promise later, so she could only give this vague excuse.

"Ok."

"You come back soon."

"It's a bit chaotic here, please be careful."

Su Tang had just noticed Gu Heng and Liu Nanyi's whispering. Looking at Liu Nanyi's slightly blushing face, her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but she couldn't say anything.

"Uh-huh."

"Do not worry."

Liu Nanyi nodded, gave Su Tang a reassuring look, and then followed Gu Heng out of the private room...
