Huayu 1995

Chapter 63 I Have Nine Ways
Li Yu's arrival was a good thing, but it also made Su Chao realize that danger was approaching.

The good thing is that the training courses have become incredibly popular.

While other training courses were making all sorts of exaggerated claims, this one offered a money-back guarantee if you failed the exam.

While other training courses were practically begging students to pay, this one used interviews to turn away a large number of people.

This directly led to other training courses falling into a predicament.

During the recruitment process, they are always asked if they can get a refund if they don't pass the exam.

Get out of here, you son of a bitch!

It's all Dream House's fault; I don't know where that clueless kid came from.

I don’t even know how I died.

The danger comes from them; they will definitely try to trip up Su Chao.

Su Chao is not a good person.

As the saying goes in "Hail the Judge," "Corrupt officials need to be cunning, but honest officials need to be even more cunning." He is someone who knows better than bad people how to do bad things.

As a bad guy, Su Chao has nine ways to kill himself.

Some of these methods are downright cruel.

He just hadn't expected the other party to be so impatient.

"The business administration officials are here!"

The landlady suddenly burst in, interrupting He Bing's lecture.

For a moment, everyone felt like they were in an underground gang, facing the danger of the enemy rushing in.

Su Chao remained calm.

The school operating license won't be issued so quickly.

However, when it comes to Hong Kong capital, even the most arrogant businessmen these days have to think twice before shutting down their training courses.

In the midst of the chaos, the trainees saw their principal pull out a rusty hammer from somewhere.

Are you going to fight hard?
Not so!

Principal, the advantage is no longer on our side.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Su Chao picked up the photo frame that was standing on the table against the wall and nailed it to the wall.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Heping and Zhang Zien.

Ginger... Ginger smell?
And Ge You too!

The former is a brilliant director who shone brightly at last year's Venice International Film Festival.

She is definitely a top-tier actor.

The latter...Cannes Best Actor!
One film, "To Live," is enough to sustain him for a lifetime, becoming an insurmountable peak for any performing arts student.

Zhou Xiaowen was completely ignored.

However, those who can stand with Jiang Wen and Ge You like this are definitely not ordinary people.

What's terrifying is... the principal is also in the photo frame.

The principal stood between Jiang Wen and Ge You, with his hands on their shoulders, one arm around each of them.

Holy crap, they're hugging each other from both sides! Holy crap!
Looking at that previous photo again, someone who could take a photo with our principal and have it solemnly displayed by our principal must not be an ordinary person.

Su Chao put down the hammer, patted the wood chips off his hands, and looked at his work with satisfaction.

That kid is really handsome.

Thank you again, Mom and Dad!

At this moment, the officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau also barged in.

Nobody dared to stop them.

Wearing uniforms and carrying bags under their arms, they are the nightmare of many migrant workers in Beijing.

Especially those who have migrated to Beijing to try setting up stalls and starting small businesses.

Huang Bo's legs went weak.

"Who's in charge... come out!"

The two men who arrived glanced at the students in the room and decided to take them outside to deal with the situation.

This is, after all, the capital city.

One person went to the yard, while the other remained at the "crime scene."

Su Chao obediently followed them out.

He didn't take the pile of fake certificates. The name of the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) could fool people for a while, but the risks were too great.

If you encounter someone who takes it seriously and actually sends a letter to the ISPA, that would be troublesome.

The International Association for Performing Arts is a real organization; Su Chao once led a group to investigate it when he was running a training course in his previous life.

Now that he has Hong Kong capital backing, there's no need for him to risk being exposed.

His decision to join the Red Star Production Company also stemmed from this purpose.

"Show us your cultural business license and fee filing certificate... You don't have them? Who gave you permission to run this training course? This is illegal... You will be shut down according to the law!"

It's obvious at a glance that Su Chao has nothing.

However, Su Chao's age was beyond his expectations.

Such a small-time cultural criminal.

"Actually, our paperwork is in progress. We're not running a training course; we're training our company's interns..."

Su Chao produced a photocopy of the Beijing branch of Hong Kong Red Star Production Co., Ltd., as well as a photocopy of the application form for the training license.

Each one is a formal document.

Several photocopies of the documents were presented, which was very convincing.

He started preparing yesterday.

I just didn't expect them to come so quickly; the permit hadn't even been delivered yet when they came to inspect it.

"Starting classes before everything is even set up... that's not right either."

The newcomer's momentum had clearly weakened considerably.

These days, anything involving foreign or Hong Kong capital becomes extremely troublesome.

"Comrade, they really are a legitimate school. If they weren't, my dad wouldn't have sent me here to study."

To Su Chao's surprise, Li Yu actually ran out of the classroom.

They even helped him lie and testify. "Who is your father?"

The momentum of the industry and commerce sector has weakened further.

He used to have his hands behind his back and his chin held high, but now he has put his hands back down.

What the hell!
Anyone who can say such things usually has some kind of background.

These days, relationships are incredibly complex and intertwined.

It's not something a lowly clerk like him can shake.

He somewhat regretted coming to investigate this training course.

"My father is Li Baotian..."

Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, I'm sorry."

Meanwhile, another clerk inside was scrutinizing the makeshift training center with a critical eye.

This operation was jointly carried out by the cultural and business sectors.

Culture manages the content of arts and culture training, while industry and commerce manage business qualifications.

Of course, this is not a common phenomenon.

Routine inspections are conducted separately by each individual.

They will only launch a joint operation after receiving reports from the public and having certain definite information.

The person checking qualifications outside is from the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

The person inside who's overseeing the training course is in the cultural field.

The cultural affairs officer discovered something very strange.

The students here don't lower their heads in fear.

Instead, most of them are focused on one direction.

The cultural affairs officer followed the student's gaze and saw it...

All of a sudden!
Scalp tingling!

Cold sweat poured down my face!

If you think he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Jiang Wenge and You, you're sorely mistaken.

That would at most make them treat it with caution.

With your powerful connections, we can simply turn around and leave without breaking a sweat.

What made him break out in a cold sweat was them—the deputy citrus leader!

Their deputy leader, Zhang Heping, was hanging on the wall, looking at him with a kind smile.

He almost wet his pants.

As a clerk working for the Cultural Orange project, he quickly spotted Zhang Zi'en, who worked at Xi'an Film Studio, and Zhou Xiaowen, who also worked at Xi'an Film Studio.

They are all key members of Xi'an Film Studio.

Of course, none of these people had as great an impact on them as Zhang Heping.

Holy crap, is this a training course run by their deputy director?

Yes, that must be the case.

A relative of the deputy head of the orange grove set up a training class here.

Some people really can't go into business, but relatives can, especially brothers-in-law.

Outside, the business registration staff have actually been won over.

This training program is backed by Hong Kong capital, and even Li Baotian's son is studying there.

Although it was indeed wrong to start classes before completing the formalities, he didn't want to cause trouble because it was something that could be easily resolved with a wave of his hand.

He saw the cultural clerk who had come with him come out, and was about to say a few polite words, and then the matter would be dropped.

But they found the cultural affairs officer was pale.

My forehead was covered in cold sweat.

For people within the system, reading between the lines is an essential skill, so he didn't rush over and ask, like in a romance drama, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Instead, she smiled and spoke to Su Chao.

His tone was much gentler, and he didn't even bother with the usual pleasantries.

At first, he held his hands behind his back, looking imperious; later, he let them hang at his sides, looking gentle and kind; finally, he clasped his hands in front of him, looking meek and obedient...

Her acting skills are also top-notch.

You can't hit someone who's smiling, and Su Chao was also all smiles.

He quickly became sworn brothers with people in the business and culture sector.

Some pleasantries.

The business administration officials first confirmed that he had all the necessary paperwork—it just hadn't been completed yet.

It doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later.

People from the cultural community praised it highly, saying that the fact that the training course was run so well under such difficult conditions showed that they had put their hearts into it.

Then they all said they wouldn't disturb your class.

Su Chao let Li Yu in and told everyone that everything was fine and they could continue with the class.

I estimate that everyone was terrified.

This will put everyone's mind at ease.

Tell Lü Bu not to grab his weapons and not to come out and fight with the businessmen.

I saw my two new friends off.

They spotted Duan Ming peeking out from not far away at a glance.

Duan Ming was completely dumbfounded.

Am I dreaming?
Not awake yet?
He had considered that Su Chao might be beaten up by the business administration officials, or even be taken away.

To everyone's surprise, Su Chao and the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau got along very well.

The three of them are as close as half-brothers!

Even from a distance, he could see Gongshang bowing and scraping, his face full of wrinkles from smiling.

These people's usual arrogance vanished completely.
