Chapter 262 My Dad Is an Academician
Su Yuanshan stared coldly at Lai Wenfeng, recalling the rumors from earlier that year when this man's uncle had "opened a factory" in Ludao.
Compared to his memories, it seemed they had fallen slightly short — the registered capital was lower, and the prestige wasn't quite the same.
Combined with information previously obtained from Sun Xihui, Su Yuanshan was now certain:
because of his own actions, the Lai family hadn't been nearly as successful in these past two years as they had been historically.
However, because of Yuanxin's sudden rise, everything had changed.
Forget about CPUs, microcontrollers, and PLDs — even the most advanced FPGA technology was already on the agenda.
...
(Deleted large amounts of content.)
"My dad is an academician and the dean of the University of Electronic Science and Technology," Su Yuanshan said, blinking playfully.
"Do you understand what that means?"
Beside him, Zhou Xiaohui, who had just come out of the hotel, burst into laughter.
Lai Wenfeng's face turned green, then white, and finally dark black.
"Let's go.
No point wasting time before the concert," Su Yuanshan said, pulling Zhou Xiaohui along.
He glanced at the stunned Jiang Qingchuan and smiled.
"Senior Brother, let's not waste our breath on people with no manners."
With that, he simply walked around the front of the car and left.
Jiang Qingchuan snapped out of it, smiling bitterly and giving Lai Wenfeng a quick side glance —
Frankly, he had no idea who this guy was, nor why Su Yuanshan seemed to know so much about him, almost too much.
But one thing was clear — Su Yuanshan despised this man and his "uncle" intensely.
Jiang Qingchuan had never seen Su Yuanshan so openly hostile before.
Seeing Su Yuanshan and Zhou Xiaohui preparing to cross the street, Jiang Qingchuan said to the driver,
"Old Chen, just stay here and handle the rest."
"Got it, President Jiang."
Surrounded by a group of young factory workers, the thugs, although still puffing out their chests, didn't dare make another move —
Everyone was smiling and watching "Young President Shan" lay down the law.
Even if they hadn't seen Su Yuanshan before, everyone in the Yuanxin subsidiaries knew the legend —
if you didn't know who Young President Shan was, you were truly clueless.
Jiang Qingchuan gave one last glance at the stunned Lai Wenfeng before striding off.
...
Inside the stadium, Jiang Qingchuan didn't disturb the backstage but instead sat quietly in the front row with Su Yuanshan and Zhou Xiaohui, waiting for the show to start.
While the stage crew was still adjusting equipment and Yang Yingying hadn't appeared yet, Jiang Qingchuan leaned over and whispered,
"Who was that guy just now?"
"A nobody."
"A nobody?
You seemed to know a lot about him…"
Su Yuanshan chuckled.
"Sun Xihui once mentioned them —
The Lai family's Huayuan Electronics in Ludao didn't have import/export qualifications, so they were sneaking goods through companies that did, using fake re-exports… including VCDs."
The moment Jiang Qingchuan heard "smuggled VCDs," he bristled with anger.
"Fuck! If I had known, I would've beaten that punk up."
"So what's the plan?" Zhou Xiaohui asked, knowing the VCD sector was a bit messy this year.
"Two-pronged approach: one hand reports them; the other gathers evidence ourselves."
While they chatted, the concert finally began.
Yang Yingying and her partner opened the show before she took over the spotlight.
To be honest, Su Yuanshan had never attended a live concert before, nor was he a vocal expert —
But based on what little he knew from his guitar lessons, Yang Yingying's live singing was truly outstanding, incredibly steady.
To hold her own against the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene, she was clearly more than just a pretty face with a sweet voice.
Compared to Zhou Xiaohui, who was practically vibrating with excitement, Su Yuanshan and Jiang Qingchuan remained calm — quietly enjoying the music and applauding appropriately.
Three hours passed in a flash.
As the concert ended amidst thunderous applause, Jiang Qingchuan pulled Su Yuanshan backstage.
Backstage, Yang Yingying hadn't even had time to change out of her performance outfit.
She was chugging water when she spotted Jiang Qingchuan and Su Yuanshan and quickly rushed over.
Looking at her youthful, beautiful face, Su Yuanshan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He let out a soft breath and put on his signature smile.
"Sister-in-law, nice to meet you."
