A Girl's Transformation

Li Xingyu was taken aback, glancing at Chen Zhang and then at Chen Wu in front of him.

But somehow, I just can't seem to figure out the right direction.

"Um... Brother Chen, I'm not very good at seeing things, could you give me a hint?"

"A hint?" Chen Zhang chuckled and looked at Chen Wu. "Chen Wu, do you remember this Li Xingyu?"

Chen Wu glanced at Li Xingyu indifferently, pretending not to see him.

"Ah... this... this..." Li Xingyu was speechless, staring at Chen Wu in front of him, unable to utter a single word. "It's... it's actually Sister Chen Wu."

He never dreamed that Chen Zhang, who was rumored to be disfigured, was actually his sister, whom he remembered as being quite chubby.

It turned out to be the Wen Wan and beautiful girl in front of me.

The private room immediately erupted in a commotion as people with wide eyes stepped forward.

"Sister Chen Wu, do you still recognize me? We used to play together all the time when we were little. I'm Xiao Dongzi."

"Sister Chen Wu, look at me, look at me, when I was little..."

One by one, they stepped forward and volunteered to introduce themselves.

Li Xingyu couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Chen Wu had been away from the entertainment circle for many years, and hadn't seen these people for even longer. When she saw everyone rushing towards her, she subconsciously stepped back and then grabbed Zhang Yang's arm.

The private room fell silent for a moment.

"This?"

"Huh?"

Everyone looked surprised, glancing at Chen Wu and then at Zhang Yang, their eyes filled with questions.

"Brother Zhang Yang," Chen Wu called softly.

Upon hearing this shout, everyone's gaze changed, especially Li Xingyu's, whose eyes widened, his expression a mixture of regret and something else entirely.

"Young Master Zhang is my brother who would risk his life for me, so naturally my sister is his sister too," Chen Zhang said with a smile.

This statement caused an uproar among the crowd.

There's a big difference between a good brother and a brother you'd risk your life for. After Chen Zhang said that, what about the man in front of him...?

Immediately, everyone's gaze towards Zhang Yang changed.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen..." Li Xingyu finally found a chance to come closer, "That thing you talked to me about the other day... I..."

"Keep dreaming," Chen Zhang glanced at him. "Still not awake?"

Li Xingyu looked a little embarrassed and regretful, as did some of the boys around him.

Because they had all been approached by Chen Zhang and offered to be his sons-in-law.

They were indeed very obedient to Chen Zhang, but major life events are major life events, and they shamelessly brushed them off.

"Brother Zhang Yang, let's go for a walk," Chen Wu said softly, feeling a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere.

"Okay, I'll go out for a walk with you." Zhang Yang nodded, also feeling that it was too noisy here, so he said goodbye and prepared to go out for a walk first.

Outside the private room, Chen Wu walked along with her head down.

Zhang Yang didn't rush to speak, and simply accompanied him for the rest of the way.

At the end of the corridor, Chang'an Avenue lies just outside.

"Those people are really annoying," Chen Wu suddenly blurted out. "Brother Zhang Yang, has my brother ever mentioned to you what happened to me before...?"

"I did say that." Zhang Yang nodded.

"Those guys, while acting as my brother's lackeys, also avoided my topics like the plague. Even if my brother hadn't said anything, I could have guessed it." Chen Wu lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes. "Now, seeing me like this, they're coming up to me again..."

"It's only human nature," Zhang Yang said. "Don't take it too seriously."

"I know, so I'll just do some superficial work," Chen Wu said softly. "Anyway, my family doesn't do arranged marriages. To be honest, I don't like any of those people now."

Logically speaking, based on Zhang Yang's speaking habits, he should have started making a roundabout joke by now.

But at this moment, he was quite rational.

"No rush, there'll always be someone I like and who suits my taste." Zhang Yang smiled. "By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

"I'm planning to work at the charity foundation my parents founded," Chen Wu said. "By the way, Zhang Yang, my parents might want to meet you when they come back. Don't be shy if you encounter any difficulties, or you can tell me privately and I'll put in a good word for you."

"No need, I don't lack anything right now," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Oh." Chen Wu nodded, slightly disappointed.

"Don't worry, just because I'm fine now doesn't mean I won't be in the future. If I need your help then, I definitely won't hesitate to ask." Zhang Yang looked at Chen Wu and added with a smile.

Chen Wu immediately beamed with joy.

"Okay, then you must tell me when the time comes."

The two stood by the window for a while, watching the bustling traffic on East Chang'an Avenue, before turning back to their private room.

Upon entering the private room, everyone greeted us with smiles.

"Young Master Zhang, we've been waiting for you. Please come in."

Zhang Yang didn't know what Chen Zhang had said to them in the private room, but he felt that their attitude towards him was a little too enthusiastic.

"Come on, Young Master Zhang, let's have a drink." Li Xingyu smiled and brought over a bottle of Romanée-Conti, busily opening it.

"No need to trouble yourself." Zhang Yang casually took it, flicked his finger, and the upper half of the bottle instantly split in two.

Everyone was stunned, their expressions quite interesting.

"No, Li Xingyu, you didn't cut this bottle beforehand, did you?"

"I didn't," Li Xingyu said innocently.

"How come the bottle flew off in half with just one flick of Zhang Shao's finger?" someone asked skeptically. "Isn't this a fake bar?"

"Impossible! I bought a whole case at the auction for over a million yuan. How could it be fake? If you don't believe me, try it!" Li Xingyu retorted, handing over another whole bottle.

The person flicked it hard, and their finger immediately snapped and hurt terribly.

"Ah... hiss."

Zhang Yang and Chen Zhang exchanged a glance, both finding it somewhat amusing.

"I knew it." Li Xingyu stood up and busied himself pouring the wine into the decanter.

After a while, everyone waited for the food and for the hangover to subside, chatting about everything under the sun.

Chen Zhang's friends not only come from wealthy families, but they themselves either hold important positions in their family businesses and are preparing to take over, or they have started their own businesses with their own money, like Li Xingyu who already has a large business.

These people, taken together, come from almost every industry and constitute a considerable force.

During the conversation, everyone engaged in lengthy and engaging discussions.

Zhang Yang observed and listened attentively, but did not express his opinions casually. Whenever he did speak, he would only say a few words, getting straight to the point.

Often, just a few words can be very insightful.

The crowd went from surprise to shock, and then to utter admiration and complete respect.

At this moment, Young Master Liu, who is in the luxury goods agency business, mentioned one of his contracts.

Zhang Yang immediately saw the problem.

"Young Master Zhang, please give me some pointers." Young Master Liu quickly pretended to listen attentively.

"These two clauses, one here and one there, have serious problems." Zhang Yang glanced at the contract, then casually pointed. "Your legal counsel, surely they can spot the issues?"

He mentioned it casually.

Instantly, Young Master Liu's expression changed drastically. "I'll fire him right away, Young Master Zhang, please advise me!"

He humbly sought advice.

Zhang Yang was generous with his advice, reading through the entire piece and then helping him make revisions.

His book on the experiences of a Fortune 500 CEO comes from the experience of a France Fortune 500 CEO. He is an expert on all kinds of luxury goods and wines, and knows the ins and outs of them with his eyes closed.

"Young Master Zhang, thank you so much! You've been a huge help! If I hadn't been careful, I might have lost tens of millions." Young Master Liu was still shaken and thanked Zhang Yang profusely.

On the other side, a young man was bragging about his new foreign supermodel girlfriend, and even took out his phone to show everyone a video of her figure.

Zhang Yang glanced at it; it was a video of his girlfriend wearing a swimsuit, making a phone call by the pool.

The content of that phone call was a bit...

Because they were speaking Spanish, and not only was it fast, but it was also a dialect, no one in the room could understand it.

Zhang Yang's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.

But naturally, he wouldn't bring this up on his own initiative.

"Young Master Zhang, you seem to have something to say?" The Young Master Sun, who was known for his womanizing ways and had seen countless beauties from both China and abroad, couldn't help but lean over and ask.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Zhang Yang waved his hand.

"Zhang Yang, tell him, I've disliked this kid for a long time. Is it necessary to brag about women's affairs every time?" Chen Zhang glanced at the scene and immediately laughed.

"Then come over and listen." Zhang Yang beckoned.

Immediately, that young master Sun leaned in close to listen.

Zhang Yang casually relayed what he had just overheard to the young master.

"That's about it. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else."

"I believe it, I definitely believe it." The Young Master Sun's face turned pale and then purple. "Damn it, I've known this foreign woman was fake for a long time, I'll dump her right now."

A wave of curiosity immediately swept through the crowd.

"Young Master Zhang, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us."

"What did your foreign girlfriend say? She wasn't mocking you for being bad in bed, was she?" someone teased, leaning back in their chair.

"Say that again, you brat!" Young Master Sun slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily.

"You worthless piece of trash, what are you so arrogant about? Do you think you have the right to be arrogant in front of Brother Chen?" This person also stood up.

The two immediately became at loggerheads.

It's clear that not all of Chen's friends are on good terms; there are quite a few conflicts among them.

A group of people rushed forward to break up the fight.

"Get out, get out, what's all this noise about?!" Chen Zhang raised an eyebrow, and the scene immediately fell silent.

"I'm giving Brother Chen face! You bastard, if you dare to act tough in front of me again, I'll beat you to a pulp." The young master straightened his collar and sat back down.

The young master Sun, still somewhat indignant, sat back down, muttering curses under his breath.

"Watch your mouth, don't just say whatever comes to mind. Everyone has their pride," Chen Zhang said, looking at the young master who had made the sarcastic remark.

"I was just joking, who knew he would react so strongly? But since you said so, Brother Chen, I'll be more careful next time," the young master nodded.

"And you, who do you think you are? Always slamming the table like that?" Chen Zhang then looked at the young master Sun. "There won't be a next time. If you do this again, you're not going to associate with me anymore."

Young Master Sun's face turned pale, and he nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, I invited you all here today to introduce you to my brother Zhang Yang, so don't spoil the fun, okay?" Chen Zhang glanced at the waiters who were starting to file in and serve the dishes. "Eat your food, drink your drinks, and don't hold grudges... You two, have a drink later."

He looked at the two men who had almost come to blows.

The two exchanged a glance and reluctantly nodded.

Soon, the wine was poured and the dishes were served. Everyone clinked glasses and rushed over to toast Chen Zhang. Of course, Zhang Yang, the newly promoted center of attention, was also present.

They all really wanted to get to know Zhang Yang better.

Because this person is handsome, rich, and has a good temperament. More importantly, he has vision, a broad perspective, and a lot of knowledge. He's the kind of friend who makes you feel very proud. And most importantly, he has such a deep relationship with Chen Zhang.

Zhang Yang accepted all comers, but at the same time, he remained very clear-headed.

At this moment, these people's attitude towards me is definitely partly due to Chen Zhang. If I want to strengthen my relationship with them, I still need to rely on my own strength and interests.

If there's an opportunity, we should cooperate with them more, as long as we share common interests.

As the drinking progressed, Li Xingyu leaned over and said something.

"Young Master Zhang, are you free this afternoon?"

"It's nothing, is something wrong?" Zhang Yang clinked glasses with Li Xingyu and smiled.

"There's a CBA game at the Capital Indoor Stadium this afternoon, wanna go watch it?" Li Xingyu chuckled softly. "My sister told me that one of your girls from Beijing Sport University is doing the cheerleading."

"That's great, let's go." Zhang Yang readily nodded.

He knew that Li Xingyu's invitation to watch the game was just a pretext; there was definitely something else he wanted to talk to him about.

After lunch, Zhang Yang waved goodbye to everyone.

"Young Master Zhang, thank you very much for today." Reminded by Zhang Yang, Young Master Sun came over to say goodbye before leaving. "I own a modeling agency; come visit me sometime."

He glanced around, then hurriedly left, clearly busy dealing with his own personal matters.

"Zhang Yang, although Xiao Sun's private life is too messy, the girls in his company are really good. Hmm, he can also access some overseas entertainment resources. You can contact him next time you have business needs." Chen Zhang smiled and put his arm around Zhang Yang, saying this.

"Would you like to come to my place for a visit?"

Chen Wu, standing to the side, immediately showed hope.

"Today?" Zhang Yang smiled at Chen Wu. "Not today, maybe next time?"

"Okay," Chen Wu said softly, nodding obediently.

"Alright, go ahead and get busy, see you later." Chen Zhang waved his hand, "Call me if you need anything."

A moment later, Zhang Yang met Li Xingyu had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Zhang, this is Young Master Liu asked me to give you." Li Xingyu handed over the box as soon as he came up.

Young Master Liu, the luxury goods agent, successfully avoided a huge loss under Zhang Yang's guidance.

"What's this?" Zhang Yang glanced at it.

At first glance, it's filled with all sorts of luxury brand cosmetics and the like.

"His company has all sorts of products, a real hodgepodge. I guess he's too embarrassed to give them to you himself, so he asked me to pass them on," Li Xingyu said casually. "Keep them. You can give them to any girl you like later. She'll definitely be happy. Shall we go?"

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Yang took it casually and tossed it into the trunk.

A moment later, the two found a designated driver and headed straight for the Capital Indoor Stadium.
