It has to be said, Yuan Tiangang’s face was incredibly thick. He managed to spin such an awkward situation back around elegantly.
Wu Daozi had been eyeing the food and drooling over it for a while, and upon hearing Yuan’s words, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
Without minding the glances from the crowd around them, Yuan Tiangang pulled Wu Daozi directly to the buffet area. Each took a large plate and began to load it with food—lobsters, abalones, piled high as if they were refugees who hadn’t eaten in days. One plate didn’t seem enough, so they each took two more. Finally settling down at a nearby table, they wolfed down their feast.
A waiter passed by with drinks, and they simply took the drinks and the tray with them. They continued to eat voraciously while gulping down the fine wine, appearing as if they had not eaten for days and nights.
The crowd around them was dumbfounded. Did these two exhibit any behavior of exemplary teachers?
But considering the shady deeds these two teachers had pulled off back at the school, everyone ca to terms with it. What couldn’t these two old lamps do?
Su Yang was speechless. He gestured to others to ignore these two teachers. He had just used the Soul Searching Technique and inspected them closely, uncovering many mories, but none related to Qinghe Academy. These two seed clueless about the affairs of Qinghe Academy and were just two ordinary teachers.
This situation made Su Yang quite helpless. He had helped these two, hoping to get information about the condition of Qinghe Academy. However, they turned out to be completely clueless, and Su Yang got nothing from the effort; it was a waste of ti.
However, at this point, Su Yang couldn’t just kick them out. After all, they were still teachers at the school. Moreover, given the thickness of their skins, Su Yang doubted he could manage to drive them away.
Nevertheless, Su Yang had underestimated just how sleazy these two old lamps were. As everyone was settling down to wait for the event to start, a waiter suddenly ran over to Su Yang and whispered, "Mr. Su, there’s a taxi driver outside asking to co in for his fare. He’s causing a commotion at the entrance!"
"Taxi driver? Asking for fare?" Su Yang was startled at first, then looked towards the two teachers gorging themselves at a distance.
These two teachers, who had previously been together whispering behind Su Yang’s back, suddenly turned their heads away when they realized Su Yang was looking at them, avoiding eye contact as if they felt guilty.
Su Yang didn’t need to guess to understand the situation. It was clear that these two old lamps had taken a taxi here and left the driver waiting outside without paying. The driver, tired of waiting, had co inside to ask for his money.
At another ti, Su Yang definitely would not have indulged in these two n’s dishonest behavior. But at this mont, he couldn’t afford to confront these teachers in front of so many people. Besides, Su Yang had another purpose for the evening, which was to connect with the school’s administration, and he didn’t know when they might arrive, so he could not afford to spark a conflict with the school’s staff now.
Although these two were virtually unknown and insignificant in the school, they must have had so connections or background to have stayed there so long. Su Yang could not let such a trivial matter jeopardize his more important affairs.
So, taking a deep breath, Su Yang whispered, "How much fare do they owe?"
"They said it’s over nine thousand!" the waiter replied.
"What?" Su Yang’s eyes widened. "Are you kidding ? Racking up over nine thousand in taxi fare? How far did they even go?"
"It seems like they drove all the way from Pingnan Province, passing through Pingbei Province in the middle," the waiter paused, and whispered, "And, they even had the taxi driver pay for their als."
"Damn it!" Su Yang almost cursed out loud. These two scumbags, how shaless to rack up such a big bill. No wonder they didn’t run off, they dare to go out, if they can’t pay, those taxi drivers would chop them up into pieces!
Having been around for so long, Su Yang had seen many shaless people, but these two were the first he had seen to be this disgustingly shaless.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yang pulled out a card and handed it to the waiter, "Go settle the bill with this."
"Oh." The waiter took the card and left. Su Yang turned his head to look at those two old lamps, who were also looking at him at the mont.
It seed like the duo realized that Su Yang was settling the bill for them, as they were all smiles and even waved at him from afar.
Suppressing the urge to strangle them, Su Yang took a deep breath, turned his head away, and ignored them. He now fully understood why Zhao Jun had warned him before that whenever you see these two teachers at school, no matter what they are doing, just run.
Now, Su Yang was regretting why he had to ddle and bail them out when he had nothing better to do. Now look, these two really could cause trouble!
The money ant nothing to Su Yang, and even if these were two teachers who had never taught him, he wouldn’t have minded paying the amount.
But now, these two old lamps totally saw him as an easy target, and that feeling was unbearable.
However, Su Yang was now waiting for the school’s administration, so he had no choice but to swallow this grievance.
The evening went smoothly, with a large turnout of celebrities. It was well known that Su Yang nearly controlled both Pingnan and Pingbei Provinces, as well as the large families from the Southern Six Provinces, making him extrely powerful.
Among these great families from the eight provinces, many owned entertainnt companies, with countless stars under their belts.
The mont they heard Su Yang was holding a gala, these families imdiately instructed their entertainnt companies to arrange this. With these big families speaking up, how could the celebrities dare to delay? So, they all canceled their schedules to co to the Capital City to support Su Yang’s gala.
The man in the suit who was in charge of reception had ntioned that these celebrities were helping out for free, and this was absolutely true. After all, Su Yang was the boss of their bosses’ boss. How could they dare to charge him for their performances?
Moreover, Su Yang’s reputation in the entertainnt circle was extrely prominent. He had written several songs that skyrocketed Ying’er and Huo Qianfang to fa.
These celebrities, naturally, all wanted to et this genius composer, to try their luck and see if they could get a few songs from him too.
So, for these stars, attending this gala was already an honor. How could they possibly discuss money with Su Yang?
