The roller shutter door had barely been open for five minutes when a girl wearing a hoodie with the hood pulled up and a mask walked in.

As soon as she entered, she was drawn in by the aroma.

"You can really cook?"

"You've been lying to me for three years?"

For the past three years, Su Yulin had been the one cooking for the band, or they'd order takeout.

This scene was still manageable. Once the new episode of the Super Challenge aired and Su Yulin saw that even a Special First Class chef lost to Lin Chudong, she'd probably unleash her inner fury.

"Ahem, I just learned these past few days. Come and try it."

She took off her mask and sat down at the dining table.

Looking at the dazzling array of Hong Kong-style dim sum, it didn't look like something she had just learned.

A voice came from outside, "Ding ding ding, your shopkeeper's wife is here! It smells so good..."

Walking in and seeing Su Yulin, the two women locked eyes.

She looked at Su Yulin's eyes, and Su Yulin looked at her chest.

"Sorry, I came in the wrong way. I'll come in again."

Liang Yin walked outside and re-entered, immediately letting out a scream.

"Ahhh! You're really Su Yulin! I'm your fan! I love you so much! Your drumming is so cool! I think you're the number one female drummer in Huaxia!"

Su Yulin's expression turned awkward, and she forced a dry laugh, "Thank you."

Just then, Jia Lu also arrived.

Carrying a backpack, she looked like a shy high school student, exuding an aura of youthfulness.

"Wow, Goddess Su."

No one who played drums wouldn't recognize Su Yulin. Mainly because Su Yulin had participated in a few dating reality shows, where her "cool and aloof" persona had deeply impressed everyone, so she was recognized at a glance.

Wang Zhi walked out, dressed in a clean white shirt with neatly combed hair. As the saying goes, 'to look sharp, wear white,' Wang Zhi had certainly dressed up.

"Goddess Su, hello. I'm Wang Zhi, the band's bassist."

Lin Chudong: ???

What the hell is a bassist? Have you even practiced slap bass? And you call yourself a bassist?

Su Yulin nodded, her expressionless.

"When are we eating?"

With a table full of food, it would be rude for her to start eating first. These people were only concerned with pleasantries, and Su Yulin's only thought was to eat.

"Eat, eat, eat. Eat first, then chat."

The four sat down and picked up the delicious food. Everyone praised it, except for Su Yulin, who ate while glaring at Lin Chudong.

That scoundrel Da Fei, he lied to her for three years! And he said he couldn't cook!

After a few bites, Su Yulin got down to business.

"Da Fei, I've contacted three bands for you. One is Prodigal Son Band under Tianying Entertainment, another is Hua Wuguo Band, with whom we've performed together, and a duo. They're all big companies, and the treatment you'll get there will be absolutely excellent."

As soon as Su Yulin said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward.

Liang Yin's hands trembled slightly. She had just finished preparing everything, and the paperwork would be finalized in a few days. If the great god were poached now, all her hard work would be in vain.

The other two were also very nervous. Su Yulin definitely held more weight in Lin Chudong's heart than they did.

Lin Chudong smiled, "What are you talking about? You know me, I'll never fall into the same pit twice."

Su Yulin frowned, "Then what can we do? Start your own company? Develop slowly? Even if you have the ambition, you won't have the opportunity anymore. How difficult is it to make a name for yourself now?"

Lin Chudong said, "How will we know if we don't try?"

"Do you have money? Isn't all your money gone to building schools?"

She knew Lin Chudong had given all his money to build schools in his hometown, leaving little for himself.

It was unavoidable. He earned too little from performances. If he had gone on reality shows, the income from two programs could have built a school.

But it was useless to talk about this now; the opportunity to make money had already passed.

Su Yulin took out a card and placed it on the table.

"This card has my savings. You can use it."

"A million or so. I don't have any more than that."

Lin Chudong said, "No need. Our boss has money. This is my new boss. Her family is well-off. Even if you have a contract, otherwise, no matter what, I would poach you at a high price."

Liang Yin gave a dry laugh, "Heh, heh..."

That was an exaggeration. She was actually a little guilty. Her meager savings wouldn't last long.

Su Yulin glanced at Liang Yin and then said, "That's good then."

She had thought Da Fei would start his own business like her, but he had found a boss after all.

He wanted to remind them not to sign a contract of servitude, but then he thought, Da Fei wasn't an idiot, so he didn't bring it up.

He took back the bank card under Liang Yin's reluctant gaze.

"Oh right, I have a drummer, can you train him? Teach him those fills of yours, teach him some real stuff, don't hold back."

Jia Lu immediately put down her chopsticks, placed her hands on her lap, and looked expectant.

"Teacher Su, I'm troubling you!"

Su Yulin rolled her eyes. This was what she called rich?

If they were rich, would they need to hire such a half-baked drummer?

Su Yulin sighed. Lin Chudong was stubborn to the core, no one could change him.

"Alright, let's begin."

Su Yulin went upstairs with Jia Lu, and soon the sound of Dong Ci Da Ci could be heard.

As Liang Yin and Wang Zhi cleared the dishes, they whispered, "This doesn't look like a love triangle. Do you think Da Fei and Su Yulin have a relationship?"

Wang Zhi said, "My analysis is that there's still some ambiguity."

"Think about it, if there wasn't some kind of relationship, who would directly lend you millions? In Brother Fei's situation, others would want to stay far away, but she's the one offering help in his time of need. There must be some complicated relationship."

"My analysis is that Su Yulin betrayed Brother Fei and got together with Shen Jianbin. She feels guilty about it, so she's giving money to make amends."

Liang Yin frowned. She felt his analysis was sound and seemed to have some logic, but there was no evidence.

For two consecutive days, Su Yulin gave Jia Lu private lessons. These master classes were truly master classes; even Liang Yin, who was just observing, benefited a lot.

However, she didn't understand many parts and could only stand by with her arms crossed, like a statue.

She silently told herself, I'm the boss, it's normal if I don't understand. I'm busy and don't have time to study instruments. Yes, that's it!

On the morning of the third day, Su Yulin sent a truck to deliver a drum kit.

Upon opening the box, Liang Yin gasped, covering her mouth.

"DW Master Drum Set!"

Jia Lu also hurried over and let out a sigh of admiration. The drum set was beautiful, exuding an air of nobility.

Wang Zhi looked bewildered, "Is this drum set very expensive?"

"Very expensive, over a hundred thousand. We can't even get stock like this in our shop, and we certainly wouldn't get something this expensive."

Liang Yin looked at Lin Chudong, "Da Fei, this gift is probably a bit too valuable."

Lin Chudong frowned, "Yeah, maybe we should have given two guitars instead. It would have been cheaper for Jia Lu."

"Little Jia, use this drum set well at home. Absolutely do not play it outside. Don't play other people's drums outside, it will affect your feel, understand?" Lin Chudong began his persuasion mode. This talent couldn't be discovered by others.

Jia Lu nodded earnestly, "Mm, I understand. The shopkeeper's wife said I'm your exclusive property."
