Chapter 367 Old Deng Enters the Scene
Chapter 367 Old Deng Enters the Scene
At 3 p.m., the playground of the Shanghai Theatre Academy in Shanghai had turned into a boiling lava pool.
The blazing sunlight shone on the gradually improving open-air stage, where the cold gleam of the steel frame and the huge LED background screen complemented each other.
As the final whistle blew for the track and field event, the competitive atmosphere was instantly replaced by an almost frenzied anticipation of the performance.
Jiang Bai had been helping to set up the stage.
None of her roommates asked Bai Zhi why she didn't show up in the afternoon.
Jiang Bai thought that his sons must be excited about Jiang Baizhi's performance that night, imagining that Jiang Baizhi was practicing her performance at the hotel.
"That's good, saves me the trouble of making up excuses."
Just then, a tsunami-like scream suddenly came from the direction of the school gate.
"Ah!! It's Zhang Dali!! My darling Dali is here!!"
"Senior Lin! Look here! I love you, Senior!!"
Jiang Bai looked in the direction of the sound.
One after another, luxury vans slowly drove into the perimeter of the playground.
The highlight of the Shanghai Theatre Academy's sports meet: the return of star alumni!
Most of these are celebrity alumni who will be participating in the fundraising performance.
Each person who entered was followed by a group of fans flooding into the campus, making the campus, which had just ended due to the school sports meet, lively again.
Among the first group of celebrity seniors who got off the bus, Jiang Bai immediately spotted a familiar face.
Zhang Dali.
That's the tragic little puppy who was so badly beaten by his song "The Sea" in the first round of "The Masked Singer" that he questioned his existence and only got 140 points in the end.
At this moment, he was surrounded by six bodyguards in black and four assistants, protecting him closely.
Zhang Dali, who was included in the middle, was wearing an extremely flamboyant white sequined suit and was waving elegantly to the screaming fans on the street.
That arrogant "I'm a top star" attitude made it seem as if he had never lost face on Jiangsu TV.
"Tsk tsk."
Jiang Bai pouted, "System, everyone else has so many bodyguards, and I only have Brother Qin. Shouldn't you consider getting me a few more bodyguards?"
[Ding! Host can purchase these! Each bodyguard costs 1000 million popularity points and has combat power comparable to a world boxing champion!]
"What? You want my popularity points too?!"
"Ahem, never mind, having Brother Qin is good enough. We must uphold our fine tradition of valuing loyalty and friendship!"
Jiang Bai coughed lightly, without blushing at all.
Intermittently, it seemed that most of the senior students had arrived, and the screams and cheers at the entrance gradually subsided.
However, the number of people entering the venue did not decrease as a result.
Another commotion was heard from the direction of the school gate.
Unlike the screaming cheers from fans when Zhang Dali entered, this event was calm and luxurious.
Several black sedans with consecutive Shanghai license plates slowly drove in. The school leaders, who were originally exchanging pleasantries with several celebrity alumni, suddenly abandoned their composure and ran to greet them.
"Good heavens, which deity has descended to earth this time?"
Jiang Bai wiped the sweat from his neck, leaned on the steel pipe, and craned his neck to look in that direction.
Those who got out of the first car were all well-dressed men with slightly receding hairlines, but exuding an aura of "I'm very rich" in every gesture.
As soon as these people appeared, the school leaders immediately straightened their collars and greeted them with smiles.
"Hello, hello, you must be Mr. Wang from Shengshi Pictures!"
"Old Li, you're here too!"
"What a rare guest! I never expected to see you here, Master Liu!"
Jiang Bai spotted Lao Zhang in the crowd.
At this moment, Old Zhang was humbly accompanying an old man with a big belly who was holding walnuts in his hand.
Jiang Bai felt a toothache just looking at that humble little director's expression.
Clearly, these people are the real stars of tonight's charity sale.
They are not only alumni, but also bigwigs in the entertainment industry and business tycoons.
At the same time, they are also the main force in fundraising on the charity auction stage!
Upon seeing these wealthy old men, not only were the school leaders all smiles, but even Zhang Dali humbly bowed and shook hands with these big shots.
That ingratiating smile was a stark contrast to the cool demeanor he displayed towards his fans just moments before.
Jiang Bai glanced at it and silently complained in his heart:
"Chief, did you see that?"
"Those school leaders were practically bent at a 90-degree angle."
Just as he was about to look away and continue his backbreaking work, he caught a glimpse of an extremely flamboyant and familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Behind the group of big shots, a young man in a suit with hair so slicked back that even a fly would slip on it was bowing and scraping beside a middle-aged man.
"Su Ze?!"
Jiang Bai's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Su Ze was carrying a briefcase with an air of importance, following behind the middle-aged man with a big smile on his face.
Beside the two were three women with an extremely similar style.
These three women looked to be in their twenties or thirties, and each of them was dressed in a flamboyant manner and had a graceful figure.
At this moment, she was surrounded by people like stars around the moon, pointing at the playground as she walked, occasionally letting out a coquettish laugh.
"Buzz—"
My phone suddenly vibrated violently in my pocket.
Jiang Bai deftly pulled it out and saw that it was a group message from his roommates' group chat.
Su Ze: [@All members, brothers! Hold on! I've successfully kidnapped my old man to the school! See those big shots at the front? The one in the gray suit playing with walnuts is my dad! Tonight, for Bai Zhi's sake, I'm planning to have my old man donate all his savings for the rest of his life!]
Lin Le: [I saw it... Su Ze, you're amazing. Those three next to your dad... are they your sisters? The genes don't match, how come they're all so beautiful?]
Gu Dapeng: [Same question. I was stunned when I passed by just now. Old Su, how many older sisters do you have? Do they have boyfriends?!]
Su Ze: [What nonsense! Those are my second and third mothers. As for the one in the cheongsam, that's my fourth mother who just came in.]
Jiang Bai stared at his phone screen, lost in deep thought.
"Three stepmothers..."
Jiang Bai's lips twitched; the rough-and-tumble man inside him was on the verge of collapse.
"Goodness, Su Ze said before that his dad was 'blooming like an old tree,' 'still going strong in his old age.'"
"I thought he was just bragging in his dorm room, but I never expected that Old Deng would actually bring his entire harem to this fundraising performance?!"
.......
P.S.: I've had some things to take care of at home these past few days. I'll finish up today and make up for the chapter tomorrow!
Then, a live-action version of the comic has been released! You can find it on Douyin, Hongguo, and Fanqie.

(To be honest, when I saw the title of this show, I felt like I could do a Thomas the Tank Engine 720 backflip and land with my toes digging into 99 Southern Heavenly Gates! Cough cough, but I still have to say, it's not bad, go check it out!)
