Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

"No."

Su Mingyang shook his head and continued, "I have a lot of things to do. I have to mind the shop during the day, play games at night, draw comics, go on dates with my girlfriend, and so on. My schedule is completely full."

Upon hearing this, Tianhua's hand holding the cup trembled, and a lot of tea spilled out.

He thought Su Mingyang had something important to do.

Who would have thought that this guy would give up a bright future and waste his amazing piano talent to do such trivial things?

Thinking of this, Tianhua's heart remained unsettled for a long time. An anger grew within him, and he became so agitated that his face turned red with rage. He said with heartache, "Mingyang, you are wasting a gift! So many people would love to have your talent but cannot attain it, yet you have squandered it. Don't you feel it's a pity?"

Su Mingyang sighed deeply, "Alas, I never expected to receive this talent. Perhaps it's fate."

"puff"

But Tianhua clutched his chest, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Chapter 135 I Choose Poetry and Distant Places!

This guy is infuriating! He clearly has such high talent, yet he acts like he doesn't care at all.

This is like someone possessing a piece of raw jade, but instead of polishing it properly, he throws it into a corner and lets it gather dust.

Tianhua was so angry that his liver ached, but he was helpless.

He couldn't very well force Su Mingyang to practice piano with him, even though he had that idea.

If he could, he would lock Su Mingyang in the music room and put a bed in it.

Su Mingyang's day consisted of nothing but eating, sleeping, and...practicing the piano.

Two years later, I took him to the 15th International Chopin Piano Competition, where he made a stunning debut. Unfortunately, that was impossible.

He was unwilling to accept it!!! Little did Su Mingyang know that his casual, boastful remark had caused severe psychological trauma to Dan Tianhua in front of him.

He quietly sipped his coffee and browsed the system panel.

Not only Dan Tianhua, but also Zeng Xiaoxian, Hu Yifei, and others were stabbed by him.

What do you mean by "I never expected to receive this talent"? It's a classic case of getting a good deal and then complaining.

If they had that talent, they'd be laughing in their sleep.

But Tianhua was still unwilling to give up. A brilliant idea flashed through his mind, and he smiled, "Mingyang, do you know how much it costs to become a top pianist in China?"

Since fame and status couldn't sway Su Mingyang, then money would do! "I don't know."

Su Mingyang shook his head.

Zeng Xiaoxian, Hu Yifei, and the others were also confused and looked at Dan Tianhua curiously, waiting for his answer.

But Tianhua, seeing everyone's expressions, a hint of a smile flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he held up one finger: "At least this number."

Hu Yifei excitedly guessed, "1 million!"

"wrong."

But Tianhua shook his head and smiled, "It's one hundred million."

"You could earn a hundred million!!!"

Chen Meijia screamed loudly.

The piercing sound waves caused ripples to spread across the water glass.

Everyone was startled by her.

But Tianhua almost suffered a heart attack.

"Uh"

Seeing everyone glaring at her, Chen Meijia felt very embarrassed and forced a laugh, saying, "Sorry, I got too excited."

Lin Wanyu couldn't help but say, "Meijia, net worth refers to how much a person is worth, not how much money a person has or how much money they can earn."

Chen Meijia nodded, seemingly understanding, "Oh, oh."

Hu Yifei nodded: "Wanyu is right."

Chen Meijia suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Teacher Zeng has been on TV, so he's a celebrity, right? How much is he worth?"

"he"

Hu Yifei glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian, pondered for a couple of seconds, and said, "It should be worth several hundred thousand."

"Hehehe, not as much as you say."

Xiao Xian brushed the hair from both sides of his forehead and grinned mischievously.

Hu Yifei teased, "I meant negative numbers."

Zeng Xiaoxian: ""

"Pfft"

Everyone managed to suppress their laughter.

"Uh-huh."

But seeing the topic veering off course, Tianhua coughed twice to bring everyone's attention back and said to Su Mingyang, "So, Mingyang, why don't you continue practicing the piano with me?"

Su Mingyang was somewhat impatient with Tianhua's arrogance and said indifferently, "Forget it, I'm not interested in this 100 million net worth, and I'm even less interested in becoming the second Li Tiandi. I prefer poetry and distant places."

"No interest in poetry and distant places"

But Tianhua was stunned.

Su Mingyang's words reminded him of the recluse Zhou Zhouming, who was not burdened by fame and fortune and pursued freedom.

This young man must have a story behind him. Zeng Xiaoxian, Chen Meijia, and the others were somewhat stunned.

They all wanted to tell Dan Tianhua—Mingyang isn't interested, but we are! Unfortunately, they didn't have the talent, it was really infuriating! Lin Wanyu was secretly agitated; she felt that Su Ming was very similar to him, both indifferent to fame and fortune, and both yearning for freedom.

Hu Yifei, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. In her view, Su Mingyang's words only confirmed his status as a rich second-generation.

If Su Mingyang knew what they were thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud.

He now owns the manga "One-Punch Man" and the newly acquired web novel "Zhu Xian Sword".

It should be able to generate hundreds of millions in value.

And it's so easy, you can do it all from the comfort of your home.

Playing the piano is fine for casual entertainment or to cultivate one's character, but it's impossible to make it one's main profession.

Just then, a couple walked in and ordered two cappuccinos.

With business coming in, Su Mingyang naturally couldn't sit idle. He smiled at everyone and said, "Please have a seat, I have to get back to work."

Just as he got up to go to the bar...

Mingyang was extremely depressed, but Tianhua stopped him, handed him a business card from the table, and said solemnly, "Mingyang, if you change your mind later, just call the number on this page. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

Su Mingyang frowned slightly, but still reached out and took it, nodding.

"That's settled then. You're busy, I'll be going now."

But after Tianhua finished speaking, he left the coffee shop looking dejected.

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly saw him off: "Take care, Professor Dan, come visit often when you have time."

Upon hearing this, Dan Tianhua, who had just stepped out of the coffee shop, stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

He often comes here to watch the piano prodigy make coffee; he'd be furious! He wants to live a few more years! Su Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief, casually tossed the business card aside, and went to the bar to make coffee.

Lin Wanyu followed closely behind, watching and learning.

Zeng Xiaoxian sighed, "To be honest, it's a real pity. Such a great opportunity, he could be worth a hundred million in the future. Look at how dejected Professor Dan looks."

Hu Yifei turned to look at Su Mingyang's retreating figure as he made coffee, and pouted, "What's there to regret? Mingyang doesn't care, why are you worrying about it? Besides, if he wants to achieve what that old man said, like Li Tiandi, he still needs to keep practicing. From what I understand, music conservatory students usually practice piano for... more than ten hours a day. Who can stand that? Mingyang has definitely spent a lot of effort and time to reach his current level, he's probably already tired of it..."

Zeng Xiaoxian thought about it and agreed: "Okay."

Chen Meijia exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Yifei, more than ten hours a day! Do you have to practice for that long?"

Hu Yifei nodded: "Of course, having good talent means you have a stronger ability to learn and absorb information than others, but it doesn't mean you don't need to practice."

Lu Zhanbo chimed in, "My sister's right, that's exactly how I am. I spend at least a dozen hours a day on the computer."

Lu Ziqiao joked, "Haha, no wonder you can't find a girlfriend, Zhanbo."

Chen Meijia rolled her eyes at Lü Ziqiao: "Who's like you, always doing nothing productive?"

"Sorry, picking up girls is my main job."

Lu Ziqiao raised an eyebrow.

"cut!"

As Guan Gu Shenqi listened to everyone chatting, his phone suddenly rang. After answering it, he excitedly told everyone, "The comic book company called and said they have something to discuss."

"I need to discuss this with you; it must be about the printed volume of 'Love Triangle Cat.' I'm leaving now."

Chen Meijia said urgently, "Hey, wait a minute, Guan Gu, I'll go with you."

"No need, Meijia, I can go by myself. You stay here and rest."

After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he greeted Su Mingyang and quickly left, afraid that Chen Meijia would follow.
