Chapter 95: Even Sitting in a Wheelchair, He Exudes Elegance
"Brother, are you at Tian Di Square right now?" A clear voice came through Ye Ling’s communicator.
Ye Chui didn’t know why Ye Ling was asking this and replied, "Yes, I am. What’s up?"
"Brother, I'm here too. Can I come find you?" Ye Ling said with a smile.
Ye Chui looked at the now dark-faced bespectacled man and then smiled, saying to Ye Ling, "I’ll come find you instead. Where are you?"
"In the ice cream shop on the east side of the square," Ye Ling quickly replied.
After ending the call, Ye Chui didn’t say anything more to the bespectacled man and had Fang Nan push him out of the coffee shop.
The bespectacled man’s face was extremely unpleasant, with a dark expression. He felt that as a representative of four software development companies negotiating with Ye Chui, Ye Chui’s attitude was exceedingly arrogant.
"A mere small studio dares to be so arrogant!?" the bespectacled man muttered to himself in disdain. "Just because one game became popular, he thinks he's something special? I'll wait for their second game to release tomorrow and see how he begs me then!"
Ye Chui and Fang Nan came out of the coffee shop.
Zhang Xing greeted them with a wide smile: "How did the business talks go? Haha, from the look on your face, Ye Chui, it didn’t go well, did it? Sigh, I also thought there wasn’t much potential in this business deal. But since I owed them a favor from a previous business matter, I had to introduce them to you. Ye Chui, I hope you don’t blame me."
These words made it seem as though Zhang Xing had been forced to make the introduction.
However, Ye Chui wasn’t so naive. Zhang Xing surely knew that the negotiations between him and the bespectacled man had failed, so he came over to say this to minimize the negative impression Ye Chui might have of him.
Ye Chui understood this but didn’t point it out. Although he didn’t particularly like Zhang Xing, he might still need his connections in the future.
This was the way business people interacted.
Ye Chui smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Zhang Boss, you’re overthinking it."
"Since you say that, I’m relieved. I must treat you to lunch today." Zhang Xing quickly offered.
"I’d love to, but I have some things to do at noon, so I’ll have to take a rain check." Ye Chui continued.
Zhang Xing wasn’t offended: "Then I’ll make it up to you another time."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ye Chui bid farewell to Zhang Xing and had Fang Nan push him to the ice cream shop where his sister said she was.
On the way, a few fans of Ye Chui recognized him and surrounded him, but Fang Nan managed to break through the crowd, and they finally reached their destination.
Ye Chui was happy at the thought of seeing his sister, but as soon as he entered the ice cream shop, he was greeted by a deafening cheer.
"Wow, it's really your brother, Ling! I couldn't believe it, but your brother is really the famous Professor X!"
"Hehe, Ye Ling's brother, do you remember me? I’m Ling’s good friend. I’ve met you several times at your home."
"And me, and me, Ye Chui, you once taught me math problems."
Several girls surrounded Ye Chui, chattering non-stop.
Ye Chui had a headache, realizing that his sister Ye Ling had brought her friends over, which was why she called to meet him.
Ye Ling’s face was slightly red, feeling a bit excited. Her brother being so popular gave her a great sense of satisfaction...
Finally, the girls quieted down, and Ye Chui and Fang Nan sat to the side. Ye Chui asked his sister why she was there, and Ye Ling explained that she happened to see the Street Fighter contest flyer while shopping with her friends and decided to check it out.
They weren’t particularly interested in Street Fighter, being girls who preferred puzzle games like Lianliankan and Lelekan. Their main interest in coming was to see the legendary Professor X...
Ye Ling hadn’t planned on introducing her brother to her friends because she felt they were too eager and probably had ulterior motives. But since they had run into the Street Fighter contest, Ye Ling couldn’t resist her friends’ pleas and ended up bringing them along to meet her brother.
The sight of a handsome young man in a wheelchair, being pushed by a stunning beauty, indeed had a striking effect, satisfying Ye Ling’s friends immensely.
To be able to sit in a wheelchair so elegantly, no wonder he was the legendary Professor X!
These girls were three to four years younger than Ye Chui, and listening to their incessant chatter, Ye Chui could only roll his eyes.
Fang Nan, on the other hand, quickly engaged in conversation with them.
When Ye Ling introduced Fang Nan, she directly called her "sister-in-law." A few days ago, Ye Chui and Fang Nan had almost kissed, and although they were interrupted by Fang Xi, their relationship was practically confirmed.
So when Ye Ling called Fang Nan "sister-in-law," Fang Nan only blushed slightly and didn’t deny it.
"By the way." Ye Chui suddenly remembered something and said to Ye Ling, "Do you have time in the next two days? Prepare to go to Jinyun Records with me. I submitted the song you recorded last time to them, and they’re very interested in your voice."
Ye Chui had submitted the recording of "Ningxia" to various record companies. Normally, it would take at least a month to get a response, but last night, Jinyun Records had already replied.
Jinyun Records was a well-known large record company in China and worldwide, and Chu Qingci was one of their artists.
Although Chu Qingci hadn’t said anything explicitly, it was clear that Jinyun’s quick response was due to her influence. Chu Qingci had mentioned helping pave the way for Ye Ling to please Ye Chui, but Ye Chui had never given a definite response. Still, even without Chu Qingci’s help, with Ye Ling’s talent and the freshness of "Ningxia," getting signed by a record company wouldn’t be a problem.
But since Chu Qingci had taken the initiative to make the connection, Ye Chui felt grateful to her.
Ye Ling was delighted to hear this: "Really, brother? Do I need to do anything to prepare?"
"Just be yourself," Ye Chui said with a smile.
Ye Chui, being personally appointed as a music master by Elder Fang, hadn’t disclosed this publicly, but he knew that Chu Qingci had likely informed the company. Whether or not others recognized his status, it was very useful.
Ye Chui was confident in Ye Ling’s talent and had no doubt that Jinyun Records would sign her.
Ye Ling’s friends were shocked by this news, having no idea that Ye Ling was about to debut as a singer. They were thrilled, and the focus of their conversation shifted from Ye Chui to Ye Ling.
Ye Chui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was exhausting to deal with these girls.
At that moment, a figure passing by outside the ice cream shop caught Ye Chui’s attention, and he quickly called out, "Zhou Ming!"
Zhou Ming, who was also a contracted singer with Jinyun Records but had been sidelined, almost becoming an errand boy, was a sunny, handsome young man of eighteen or nineteen. Ye Chui had previously sold him 999 roses for one yuan.
Hearing Ye Chui’s call, Zhou Ming looked around and, upon seeing Ye Chui, excitedly walked into the ice cream shop: "Professor X... what are you doing here?" Then he patted his head: "Oh, I forgot, of course, you’d be here for the Street Fighter contest."
Zhou Ming was also a fan of Ye Chui, and his purpose for being there was obvious.
Ye Chui noticed the Street Fighter King magazine in Zhou Ming’s hand and brightened up: "Did you participate in the Street Fighter contest and pass the preliminary round?"
Zhou Ming shyly smiled: "Yes, I haven’t had a chance to read this magazine yet."
"It’s a great magazine. Make sure to read it," Ye Chui said with a smile. Since the magazine didn’t credit Professor X, most people didn’t know it was his work.
Looking at the time, Ye Chui remembered his scheduled treatment and introduced his sister to Zhou Ming: "Ling will debut at Jinyun Records soon. You can consider yourself her senior and help guide her."
"Sure, Professor X." Zhou Ming quickly agreed.
Looking at Ye Ling, Zhou Ming was momentarily stunned by her fresh and charming presence.
Ye Ling noticed Zhou Ming’s gaze and blushed slightly, quickly lowering her head.
Ye Chui didn’t notice these subtleties. As his scheduled treatment time approached, he gave his sister a few more instructions before leaving with Fang Nan.
"Zhou Ming seems to have fallen for your sister at first sight." In the car, Fang Nan said with a smile. "He looked at Ling with different eyes."
"Damn!" Ye Chui exclaimed. "That kid dares to look at Ling like that!? Nan, beat him up for me!"
