Chapter 939: Chapter 938 Qinghe Academy

In the afternoon, at Six Degrees Bar.

Su Yang arrived early and discovered that Six Degrees Bar had undergone some changes as well; its façade had expanded considerably, incorporating the two shops next to it.

The bar had added private rooms for a quieter atmosphere. However, in reality, the best business was still at the outer booths, because sitting there meant you could watch Li Liang mix drinks, which was truly the main attraction of Six Degrees Bar.

After learning a few cocktail recipes that Su Yang had taught him, Li Liang had indeed become the mainstay of Six Degrees Bar. Sister Liu gave him a share of the bar, so now he was essentially working for himself and was naturally very dedicated.

This guy was rumored to have reached the point of discussing marriage with his girlfriend. The money he made at Six Degrees went into buying a house, which he furnished before also buying a car, all in preparation for marriage.

Su Yang actually talked to him about it, offering his help if needed, but Li Liang declined. In his own words, he was already very grateful to Su Yang for teaching him the cocktail recipes, giving him a craft to support himself with. How could he have the cheek to ask Su Yang for more help?

Seeing Su Yang arrive, Li Liang, who was surrounded by a group of girls while he mixed drinks, immediately put down his tools and rushed over to Su Yang with excitement.

"Xiao Yang, you’re here," Li Liang said. "Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I would have made arrangements for you!"

"No need to be polite," Su Yang said with a light smile, looking at the girls nearby and adding with a laugh, "Seems like you’ve got quite the appeal with the ladies now, not like back then when you were trying every trick in the book to pick up girls around here, right?"

"Heh heh..." Li Liang laughed awkwardly, "That’s all in the past now, I’m about to get married, can’t keep acting so irresponsibly. Oh right, Sister Liu Liu just stepped out. Should I call her back?"

"No need," Su Yang said with a light smile. "I’m here to meet with Old Hou to discuss some business, just dropped by to see you. You do your thing, don’t mind me."

"It’s okay, I’m not that busy," Li Liang said cheerfully, as he went off to set up some drinks for Su Yang.

Before long, Hou Shilin arrived, and Li Liang considerately went off to busy himself at the bar.

Hou Shilin sat down in front of Su Yang without a word, picked up a glass of liquor from the table, and downed it in one gulp. He closed his eyes, relishing it for a long time before sighing, "This Bitter Sea is still something to savor indeed!"

"Oh, cut it out!" Su Yang retorted.

"Hey Li Liang, why don’t you come work at Qingyun Clubhouse? I guarantee you’d make in one day there what you make here in a month!" Hou Shilin waved at Li Liang.

"Young Master Hou, thanks a lot. But I have to remind you, just don’t let Sister Liu Liu hear that, or she’ll definitely kick you with her high heels!" Li Liang replied with a laugh.

Hou Shilin immediately put on a mournful face; Sister Liu Liu was not someone to be trifled with. He waved his hands awkwardly and laughed, "Su Yang, maybe you could teach me a trick or two later, eh?"

"Enough of that, don’t go stealing Li Liang’s business now," Su Yang scolded with a laugh. "You, with your immense family fortune, still trying to take someone’s livelihood, is that fun for you?"

Hou Shilin chuckled, "I’m not stealing, just wanna make it convenient when I drink by myself. Besides, sometimes when I’m out on jobs or something, I might as well show off a little, right?"

Su Yang said, "Are you going out to do business, or to pick up girls?"

"Hehe..." Hou Shilin gave an awkward smile, "Anyway, it’s okay to show off a bit occasionally."

Su Yang: "I think you’d better forget it. What’s the point of showing off to pick up girls? Just slap your collection of over thirty luxury car keys on the table, and everything will fall into place, won’t it?"

Hou Shilin sighed, "Ah, the girls you can pick up like that have no interest, no soul, you know?"

Su Yang mocked, "Anyway, what you want is their body, who cares about the soul or lack thereof!"

"Hey, you’ve been out for a few days, how come you talk so crudely now!" Hou Shilin said, "What we have is true love, understand?"

"So how many girls have you had ’true love’ with so far?" Su Yang laughed, "Would fifty be an understatement?"

"Hehe..." Hou Shilin gave another awkward laugh and waved his hand, "Let’s talk serious business, serious business. I’ve inquired about that Qinghe Academy of yours, and it’s just a Ninth-Rate Academy with no decent major to speak of. Moreover, the school has a terrible reputation—fights and brawls are frequent, and every year there are instances of student deaths, which soil its name. Many provinces no longer allow the school to recruit from their regions. Why on earth did you suddenly want to ask about this school?"

Su Yang’s brows furrowed slightly; he had originally thought that Qinghe Academy was some kind of high-end institution. But now that he had heard Hou Shilin’s description, it seemed that this wasn’t the case.

What on earth was Su Ping thinking, wanting him to attend such an institution? A Ninth-Rate Academy with a terrible reputation—it was clearly not meant for him to study there. What then, was he supposed to do there?

Seeing Su Yang silent, Hou Shilin continued, "I tried contacting their school, and casually inquired about sponsoring their institution and securing guaranteed admissions for students. But guess what?"

"They refused?" Su Yang asked.

"Spot on!" Hou Shilin nodded, "They outright refused, didn’t want sponsorships, and wouldn’t allow any backdoor admissions. My goodness, it’s the first time in my life I’ve seen such spirited folks. That school, I heard it’s barely scraping by, and yet they act so high and mighty? Truly an eye-opener!"

Su Yang, however, was calm. Qinghe Academy’s response was normal. If they hadn’t refused, then Su Yang would have suspected that there was something wrong with Su Ping’s judgment.

It now appeared that there really was an issue with Qinghe Academy. As for what exactly the problem was, it looked like he’d have to investigate in person. Since Su Ping had asked him to attend Qinghe Academy, there must surely be a reason behind it.

And now, Su Yang was curious about Qinghe Academy himself. He intended to personally investigate and discover what secrets lay within.

As Su Yang remained silent, Hou Shilin said with astonishment, "You asking about Qinghe Academy, you’re not actually considering enrolling there, are you?"

"If I’m not going to study, why would I ask about it?" Su Yang retorted.

"Oh my dear brother, what’s gotten into you, why torture yourself like this?" Hou Shilin immediately said, "The principals of the top three high schools in Capital City came to your home in person, crying and begging to enrol you, and you refused them all. Now, here you are, bothering with some Ninth-Rate Academy—does that make any sense? Did you strike it rich and now want some prince-and-Cinderella fairy tale, planning to find a Cinderella in that Ninth-Rate Academy?"
