Chapter Ninety: Han Su

The nation’s prodigy was named Hank Su, because his father’s surname was Hank and his mother’s surname was Su.

Hank’s father had made his first fortune in Harbor City and, step by step, risen there to become the richest man in the country.

After the family prospered, the Hanks did not forget their old friends, and they never moved away. So Hank Su and Jason Zhou had grown up together as childhood friends.

In a past life, when the Zhou family fell into trouble, the Hanks had reached out to help, only to be refused by Jason Zhou, whose pride was too strong. Later, after the company was taken over and Jason Zhou disappeared, Hank Su never stopped looking for him.

When Jason returned, he treasured that friendship deeply and kept in touch with Hank Su all along. Because of that, Hank Su learned that Jason had taken a liking to a girl, though Jason never said who she was.

Now Jason’s own confession and the paparazzi’s曝光 had brought that girl into the open, and with a heart full of gossip, Hank Su naturally wanted to go and investigate.

Jason’s certainty stirred his own interest as well.

He had heard that this little girl was still in middle school.

He had heard that this little girl was extraordinarily beautiful.

He had heard that this little girl still had not agreed to Jason.

For the sake of his good brother’s future happiness, Hank Su made up his mind.

Still, to keep that good brother from beating him up once he found out, he had to drag a few others down with him.

After all, there is safety in numbers.

Hank: “Let’s transfer to River Province too. Since Jason’s been filming for so long, what if some other guy steals his little girl away? Let’s go help him keep watch!”

Hank Su created a group chat, dragged in all the young masters from his circle, and sent the message.

Jay: “OK!”

Yang: “Easy.”

But aside from Ethan and Ryan, everyone else in the group refused.

Hank Su curled his lip and kicked out everyone who had turned him down.

Hank: “What a bunch of idiots. They keep shouting that Jason is their best brother, but the moment he needs them, they run faster than dogs.”

Yang: “Pretty normal. When Uncle Zhou and the others had trouble before, wasn’t the first family to run the fastest also theirs?”

Hank: “I get it, I do. It’s just annoying to think that people who grew up together could become this materialistic.”

Yang: “Friendship is better in quality than quantity. Jason knows exactly what kind of people they are, and you should stay away from them in the future too.”

Ethan: “A pack of spoiled rich second-generation brats. Keep your distance.”

Hank: “...How did this become about me again!”

Yang: “Birds of a feather flock together. You understand that, right?”

Hank: “/eye roll. Fine, fine, I get it. I won’t play with them anymore, all right?”

Ethan: “Mm. I’m going to handle the transfer paperwork.”

Yang: “I’ll go too.”

Hank: “OK!”

The group chat fell quiet, and Hank Su let out a long sigh.

He understood it too: not everyone was as sincere as the three of them in treating Jason Zhou as a brother. Bringing the others into the chat had been giving them a chance. Unfortunately, they had missed it.

That circle was no longer one they could enter.

Then, thinking of the transfer, Hank Su opened StarNet Blog and posted a gleeful update.

Nation’s Prodigy V: “@JasonZhou V Jason! I’ve prepared a surprise for you! Wait for me!”

Hank Su’s fans were stunned for a moment. Did their young master know the big boss of StarNet Blog?

By the River: “Am I seeing things? Jason?”

Nine Rights: “I smell it! The scent of bromance!”

Inkscale: “Ummmmm, me too...”

Ethan and Ryan also reposted Hank Su’s StarNet Blog post, saying that they, too, had prepared a surprise for Jason.

This time, the fans of all three were dumbfounded.

Everyone knew the three were wealthy second-generation heirs in the country, but no one had ever imagined they knew Jason Zhou.

After all, several years ago, Cloud Voyage had still been only a small company. How could it possibly have connections with the richest man in the country, the retail giant of the nation, and the mayor’s family in Harbor City?

No one had expected that these people had known each other before any of them had risen to prominence, living in the same neighborhood, and later, after they grew wealthy, buying villas right next to one another.

After finishing a day of filming, Jason Zhou accompanied Yuxi for dinner. When he returned to the hotel and saw the commotion on StarNet Blog, he had a bad feeling.

Somehow, he suspected that those few jokers had secretly done something behind his back.
