The moment the roller shutter door opened, not even five minutes had passed before a girl wearing a hoodie, the hood pulled up over her head and a mask covering her face, walked in.
As soon as she entered, she was captivated by the aroma.
"You really know how to cook?"
"You've been lying to me for three years?"
For the past three years, Su Yulin had basically been the one cooking for the band, or they'd order takeout.
This situation was still alright for now. But once the new episode of Super Challenge aired, and she saw that a top-tier chef lost to Lin Chudong, Su Yulin would probably unleash her inner fury.
"Ahem, I just learned these dishes recently. Come try them."
Taking off the mask, she sat down at the table.
Looking at the dazzling array of Hong Kong-style breakfast, it didn't seem like something newly learned.
A voice came from outside, "Ta-da! The boss lady is here, and it smells so good..."
Walking in and seeing Su Yulin, their eyes met.
She looked at Su Yulin's eyes, while Su Yulin looked at her chest.
"Sorry, I went the wrong way. I'll come in again."
Liang Yin walked outside, then re-entered, immediately letting out a shriek.
"Aah! You really are Su Yulin! I'm your fan, I really like you! You're so cool when you drum, I think you're the number one female drummer in China!"
Su Yulin looked awkward, forcing a dry laugh, "Thank you."
At that moment, Jia Lu arrived.
She was carrying a backpack, looking exactly like a shy high school student, exuding youthful innocence.
"Oh, Goddess Su."
Drummers all knew who Su Yulin was. She'd participated in a few dating variety shows, and her aloof character had made a deep impression, so they recognized her immediately.
Wang Zhi walked out, dressed in a clean white shirt, with neatly combed hair. As the saying goes, 'to look good, wear white,' Wang Zhi had really dressed up.
"Goddess Su, hello, I'm Wang Zhi, the bassist of the band."
Lin Chudong: ???
"What the hell, bassist? Have you even practiced your slap bass, or are you just calling yourself a bassist?"
Su Yulin nodded, expressionless.
"When are we eating?"
With a table full of food, it would be rude for her to start eating first. Besides, these people were only exchanging pleasantries. Su Yulin just wanted to eat.
"Eat, eat, eat. Let's eat first, then chat."
The four of them sat down and began eating the delicious food, all of them praising it. Only Su Yulin ate while glaring at Lin Chudong.
Damn, you lied to me for three years! And you said you couldn't cook!
After eating a few mouthfuls, Su Yulin began to talk business.
"Dafei, I've contacted three bands for you. One is Vagabond Band, under Skyhawk Entertainment. The other is Flowerless Fruit Band, who we performed with before. There's also a duo who are looking for someone right now. They're all big companies, and the benefits will be great if you join them."
As soon as Su Yulin said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table became strange.
Liang Yin's hands trembled slightly. She had just prepared everything, and the paperwork would be completed in a few days. If the "Big God" was poached at this time, all her efforts would be wasted.
The other two were also very nervous; Su Yulin was undoubtedly more important to Lin Chudong than they were.
Lin Chudong smiled, "What are you talking about? You know me, I won't fall into the same pit twice."
Su Yulin frowned, "Then what can you do? Start your own company? Develop slowly? Even if you have the ambition, you don't have the opportunities. How hard is it to get ahead now?"
Lin Chudong said, "How would I know if I don't try?"
"Do you have any money? Didn't you use all your money to build a school?"
She knew that Lin Chudong had given all his money to build a school in his hometown, leaving himself with very little.
He couldn't help it; he earned too little just from performances. If he went on a reality show, the income from two programs could build a school.
But there's no use in talking about that now; the opportunity to make money has already passed.
Su Yulin took out a card and placed it on the table.
"This card has my savings in it. Use it."
"A hundred or eight hundred thousand, I don't have more than that."
Lin Chudong said, "No need, our boss has money. This is my new boss; she comes from a wealthy family. If you weren't under contract, we'd be offering you a high price to come over."
Liang Yin gave a dry laugh, "Heh, heh..."
That was an exaggeration; she was actually a little uneasy. Her own savings wouldn't last very long.
Su Yulin glanced at Liang Yin and then said, "That's good."
Originally, Lin Chudong thought Dafei could handle things himself, but in the end, he still went to the boss.
He wanted to remind him not to sign a slave contract, but on second thought, Dafei wasn't an idiot, so he didn't bring it up.
Lin Chudong withdrew the bank card under Liang Yin's reluctant gaze.
"Right, I have a drummer here. Train him. Teach him those fancy drum patterns of yours, some real stuff, don't hold back."
Jia Lu immediately put down his chopsticks, hands on his lap, full of anticipation.
"Teacher Su, please!"
Su Yulin rolled her eyes. This was considered having money? If he had money, would he even hire this half-baked drummer? Su Yulin sighed. Lin Chudong was stubborn to the core; no one could change him.
"Alright, let's begin."
Su Yulin followed Jia Lu upstairs, and soon the sound of music filled the air.
Liang Yin and Wang Zhi were washing the dishes, and they whispered to each other, "This doesn't seem like a love triangle. Do you think Da Fei and Su Yulin have something going on?"
Wang Zhi said, "I analyze that there's definitely something there."
"Think about it, if there wasn't something between them, who would just lend you over a million? People usually avoid Fei Ge in his situation, but she's the one who comes to help him when he needs it most. There's definitely a complicated relationship there."
"I think it's more likely that Su Yulin betrayed Fei Ge and is with Shen Jianbin now. She feels guilty, so she's giving him money to make up for it."
Liang Yin frowned, feeling that his analysis made a lot of sense, and seemed to have some basis, but there was no proof.
For two consecutive days, Su Yulin gave Jia Lu private lessons. A masterclass was a masterclass. Even Liang Yin, who was just listening in, benefited a lot.
However, she didn't understand many things, and could only stand to the side with her arms crossed, like a statue.
I'm the boss, it's normal that I don't understand this stuff. I'm busy, I don't have time to study musical instruments. Yeah, that's it!
On the third morning, Su Yulin sent a truck to deliver a drum set.
Upon opening the boxes, Liang Yin gasped, covering her mouth.
"A DW master drum set!"
Jia Lu also hurried over, exclaiming in admiration. The drum set was beautiful, exuding an air of luxury.
Wang Zhi stood to the side, completely bewildered. "Is this drum expensive?"
"Very expensive. Over a hundred thousand. We can't even get this in our shop, and we certainly couldn't get one this expensive."
Liang Yin looked at Lin Chudong. "Big Fei, this gift is a bit too valuable."
Lin Chudong frowned. "Yeah, it would be better to send two guitars, and let Jia Lu have the cheaper option."
"Little Jia, use this drum properly at home. Don't go out and play it. Don't play other people's drums outside; it will affect your feel, understand?" Lin Chudong launched into their spiel, knowing this talent couldn't be discovered by others.
Jia Lu nodded seriously, "Yes, I understand. The boss lady said I'm yours."
