Kang Peng's Shock

Although he understood why Hu Wei was acting strangely, Song Dao still felt that Yan Yu's goal wasn't to comfort Hu Wei at all.

So what if his ex-girlfriend got married?

Did he want to be a "guest" too?

What kind of mental illness would make him think that?

So this is what Yan Yu wanted to get me drunk with!

He'd bailed halfway the last few times, so he'd probably saved it up.

Actually, if it really came down to drinking, he wasn't afraid of anyone.

Besides, this body, the original owner's, had a decent resistance to alcohol. It was young, after all.

The key issue was the fear that these people might lose control when drunk.

Also, as a professional singer, drinking occasionally was fine, but drinking regularly was definitely not.

Especially not baijiu.

He'd already decided he'd only drink red wine today.

Let the big sister drink baijiu if she wanted to.

Unconsciously, he was becoming more and more accustomed to his identity as a singer, and his way of thinking was starting to change.

If it were when he first transmigrated, he definitely wouldn't have had these thoughts.

The gifts from the others were also quite interesting.

Hu Wei was straightforward, gifting a foldable phone.

In front of everyone, he didn't even change his address.

"Without Boss, I wouldn't be where I am today. Even though I'm older, Boss is my master in terms of my profession. Strictly speaking, I should even call Xi Xi my senior sister."

Kong Xi was startled and quickly declined, "No, no, you're the senior brother. This junior sister can't accept that!"

Kong Xi's gift was a high-end speaker, not too big, the kind that could be moved anytime.

It cost around twenty thousand, just under thirty thousand.

Song Dao also liked this very much.

As for Lin Fei, this Heavenly Queen boss actually drove over in a brand-new electric car.

It was a domestic large pure electric SUV, the top trim, costing over 1.2 million after taxes and fees.

"The company bought it, it can be used for tax deductions. I'll have the driver get the license plates in the next couple of days. It's inconvenient for you not to have a car, so you can use this for now."

Song Dao felt like he was being kept at that moment.

It was just great.

He didn't refuse, just expressed his gratitude.

There were some things that didn't need to be said too clearly.

If he were just Song Dao, he might have been able to become good friends with these people, but he definitely wouldn't have received this kind of treatment.

Song Dao believed in the value of relationships.

However, being well-matched was never a joke.

Whether it was marriage or friendship, if the gap was too large, it was truly difficult to get along.

At this moment, the video doorbell at the entrance rang.

Kong Xi rushed over to take a look and turned back to Song Dao, "Master, is this person your classmate?"

Song Dao, who had followed her, nodded.

A moment later, Kang Peng arrived via elevator.

He was carrying a large gift box, and the logo on it almost made Song Dao's eyes go black.

This guy actually brought the same brand of alcohol as Yan Yu!

Damn it!

Did he think this was a visit to a leader's house?

Why didn't he bring two more packs of cigarettes?

While he was complaining inwardly, he saw Kang Peng put down what he was holding and reveal a plastic bag behind the large gift box.

Xia Yan Jin Zhong Zhi cigarettes.

And not two packs, but four!

Just casually placed in a transparent bag, the red boxes gleaming.

"Hehe, sorry, I'm a little late," Kang Peng greeted with a grin. "Hello Kong Xi, I really like your songs!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Kong Xi smiled.

They already knew each other, so there was no surprise.

But in the very next moment, after Kang Peng changed into his slippers and casually glanced in the direction of the kitchen where the noise was coming from.

He froze as if struck by a petrification spell.

"Holy crap!"

He almost couldn't believe his eyes.

He subconsciously looked at Song Dao.

"Come in and sit. Sister Qing can start serving once she's here."

Kang Peng was dazed as Song Dao pushed him into the living room.

He was still in a state of shock.

You actually had the Heavenly Queen tying an apron around her waist to cook for you?

Are you even human?

And who is that other super beautiful woman?

Uh, and Hu Wei?

Is this crazy?

He knew Song Dao had signed with Feiyang Music Movement.

He'd even seen people online joking that Lin Fei was dating Song Dao.

But he'd just laughed it off, thinking it was ridiculous to believe such a claim.

He could understand Song Dao moving and some colleagues coming over to liven things up.

But Lin Fei actually came!

Didn't she have any idea how popular she was right now?

And not only did she show up at Song Dao's place for a gathering, but she was also wearing an apron and cooking?

Magical, it was truly magical!

Kang Peng felt his brain struggling to keep up.

This shock continued until the famously renowned agent Li Qingqing arrived and presented Song Dao with an oil painting she had personally created.

The painting wasn't very large, about two feet square.

It depicted a field of blooming sunflowers.

It gave off a festive, vibrant feeling.

"I rushed as fast as I could, and I finally finished painting it for you!"

Kang Peng was speechless.

As a second-generation celebrity, how could he not have heard of Li Qingqing's name?

Not only was she a highly respected agent in the industry, but she was also a formidable individual who had turned her side hustle into something as significant as her main profession.

Li Qingqing, who studied painting, had held her own art exhibition ten years ago.

Her most expensive painting had sold for over a hundred thousand.

Then she turned around and entered the entertainment industry, becoming Lin Fei's agent.

Despite many prominent figures in the art world lamenting and urging her to return to painting, she ignored them.

She painted when she felt like it.

Otherwise, she just hung around in the entertainment industry.

A classic case of talent and willfulness.

Li Qingqing's paintings typically sold for at least fifty to sixty thousand, and they were very rare, making them hard to come by.

And she actually painted one for Song Dao's housewarming?

Not only that, but she had it framed and delivered it herself?

Wait, can someone tell me, this Brother Dao, who has only released two decent songs recently, and is far inferior to Kong Xi and Hu Wei, what other mysterious identity does he have that I don't know about?

This confusion only intensified as Song Dao introduced everyone's identities and they gathered around the coffee table to eat.

First, Song Dao didn't let Lin Fei drink white wine!

"Drink red wine."

"Don't drink too much."

Then... Lin Fei actually nodded and agreed!

Next, they watched as the short-haired, delicate, and beautiful Sister Qing sat on a small stool without any hesitation.

She had no airs about her at all.

She even smiled and was the first to raise her wine glass.

"Sorry, I'm late today."

"I should be the oldest here, so this first cup of wine is to steal the spotlight from Boss Fei and toast Teacher Song first. Thank you!"

In front of Kang Peng, Li Qingqing didn't say it so directly.

She actually really wanted to thank Song Dao not only for "bringing out" his disciples Kong Xi and Hu Wei, but even for guiding Lin Fei!

Outsiders didn't understand, but how could she not grasp this person's value?

What was a mere painting worth?

Kang Peng: "Teacher Song? Is he the kind of teacher I'm thinking of?"

He widened his eyes and looked.

Song Dao smiled and raised his wine glass, "Thank you, Sister Qing. I really love this painting. I just checked, and it's so expensive, I can't even buy it!"

Lin Fei and Yan Yu rolled their eyes almost simultaneously.

Money grubber!

"As long as Teacher Song likes it, when you move to a bigger house, I'll tailor a large one for you!"

"That would be wonderful! Thank you!" Song Dao was not polite at all.

Li Qingqing laughed heartily. She didn't use a small cup but picked up a 100ml decanter and drank it in one go.

Then she said, "Today, I, oh, and this friend here, will drink baijiu with Yan Yan. I've said before that Fei'er doesn't listen to me, so it's finally someone who can manage her."

Lin Fei blinked and smiled, "No way, I don't always drink baijiu."

Song Dao was a little dumbfounded.

What's going on? What happened? Are all women in your entertainment industry this scary?

Everyone else, except for Kang Peng who foolishly picked up the decanter and Kong Xi who picked up her cup, didn't move.

"Aren't you drinking with me?" he asked.

Yan Yu said, "Everyone is here today to celebrate your housewarming. Of course, we should toast you, the host, first. Drinking together lacks sincerity. We should toast one by one."

Kang Peng and Kong Xi quickly put down their wine glasses.

Song Dao was stunned.

It's your sister, then don't blame me for being a cheat!

He raised his cup and, under everyone's watchful eyes, took a small sip.

"Sister Qing, my alcohol tolerance is very poor! Please bear with me."

Everyone: "..."

Li Qingqing didn't mind at all, "Singers should drink less to protect their voices."

She glanced at Lin Fei as she spoke.

Lin Fei looked innocent.

Li Qingqing: "You are not allowed to force Teacher Song to drink. His brain is for creation, not for talking nonsense when drunk!"

Yan Yu said speechlessly, "No, Sister Qing, aren't you being too biased? Why are you protecting him so much?"

Lin Fei thought for a moment and said, "That's true, we shouldn't let his brain get damaged further."

Yan Yu: "Just keep spoiling him then!"

Saying that, she picked up the decanter, "Teacher Song, I'm drinking this, you can have as much or as little as you like!"

The mature older sister did as she said.

She wasn't hesitant at all.

Song Dao drank a little more this time. After putting down the cup, he said, "Although my alcohol tolerance isn't great, my feelings are definitely not bad. Thank you, Sister Yu, for taking care of me since we met."

"That's more like it." Yan Yu looked at Song Dao, "Next time I invite you to watch a movie, don't make excuses!"

Lin Fei, Li Qingqing, and Kong Xi were a little surprised, then showed expressions of wanting to gossip.

Kang Peng: "..."

You even watched movies together?

Although he didn't know the identity of this beautiful young lady, the aura she exuded was clearly not that of an ordinary person.

This was truly a magical and fantastical dinner.

Attending a classmate's dinner party, and it turned out to be this high-class...

Especially when Lin Fei, following suit, took a large gulp of red wine, while Song Dao still took only a small sip.

They had almost gone around the table, and his cup, which wasn't full to begin with, still had half left!

As a classmate, he was well aware of Song Dao's alcohol tolerance.

In other words, in front of these people, Song Dao could drink whatever he wanted, as much as he wanted?

This was really amazing.

When it was his turn, the usually eloquent "little prince" of the drinking scene appeared exceptionally low-key.

"Brother Dao, thanks for inviting me to your housewarming. We're buddies for life. I'll drink this, you can do as you please."

In the past, if Song Dao dared to leave even a drop in his glass, he would have yelled, "Are you saving it for the fish?"

However, Song Dao unhesitatingly drank the more than half remaining in his glass.

He smiled and said to everyone, "This is my good brother, so I have to drink this glass."

Kang Peng was stunned for a moment, a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

With this level of emotional intelligence, why would he be a simp?

He didn't even give face to the dazzlingly beautiful, ace agent, or the returning Heavenly Queen. He drank this glass for me...

The respect he showed was truly immense.

Not only that, after finishing the drink, Song Dao smiled and said to everyone, "Oh, right, I only introduced him as my classmate earlier. Actually, Kang Peng is also in the industry. His mother is Teacher Jin Jing, and his father is Kang Xu, the director of the Jingcheng Drama Troupe."

As soon as he said this, everyone showed a look of realization.

"He's the son of Teacher Jin and Teacher Kang? No wonder he looks so extraordinary!" Li Qingqing said.

Lin Fei also nodded, "I participated in a show with Teacher Jin once, she's a really great person."

Kang Peng didn't feel inferior in terms of seniority. He stood up and started pouring drinks for everyone, humbly expressing his gratitude.

The subsequent drinks became "gentler."

Kang Peng observed them secretly for almost the entire night.

He realized that there was something wrong with this group of people. No, it was he himself who was wrong.

Song Dao definitely had secrets he didn't know about.

These people were relaxed and unrestrained in front of Song Dao.

Although it wasn't obvious, it was clear that everyone valued Song Dao highly.

Song Dao didn't have any prominent family background, so this importance could only stem from himself.

Then, thinking about Hu Wei, who had suddenly become popular recently, shaking off the label of an internet singer with the song "Always Been Quiet," and Kong Xi, who was dominating the Penguin Music charts with "Dark Sky."

And Lin Fei's song "Lovesickness"...

Was "Water Strike Three Thousand" Brother Dao's pen name?

Even though this guess seemed absurd to him.

After all, Song Dao's singing of those two songs was still quite different from the new hit songs by these artists.

But besides this, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

Remembering his parents' words since childhood, Kang Peng thought silently to himself.

I must make friends with Brother Dao.

Damn it, I brought too few gifts today!
