After seeing off the guests, Yin Yunhui turned back. Aunt Professor Fang was already preparing to leave for the day.

“What’s going on, Aunt?” he asked.

“It’s common for public welfare organizations to have some interaction. Yunhui, you did very well,” Professor Fang replied.

Inside the memorial hall, she had taken in several stray pets. An awkward-looking cat nimbly leapt into her arms.

“Aunt, I know I did well, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Don’t try to distract me!” Yin Yunhui said, feeling a bit helpless. Ms. Zheng was overly enthusiastic, even holding onto his arm.

Speaking ill of others behind their backs, but Ms. Zheng’s makeup was probably from a traditional dance performance—very exaggerated.

“Hahaha, Yunhui, what do you think?” Professor Fang laughed warmly.

In her fifties, she had retired from Shuming Women’s University and planned to spend her later years at the Songdu Memorial Foundation. Her two sons were now college-aged.

“What do you mean? We could have someone verify it later—see if what she did matches what she said,” Yin Yunhui suggested, attempting to pet the cat, but the feline showed him no interest.

This cat must not be kept. Didn’t he realize whose territory he was on?

“I’m talking about her daughter, so don’t change the subject.”

“Ah?”

Yin Yunhui was shocked.

“How does Suzy come into this?”

“If I’m not mistaken, Yunhui, you quite liked Suzy, didn’t you?” Professor Fang teased.

Only then did Yin Yunhui understand what she meant. He scratched his head.

“Sigh, that was so many years ago.”

Suzy was four years older than him, which wasn’t important. But Miss A debuted early, and their concept was quite appealing…

At that time, Yin Yunhui was just a middle schooler, going through puberty. He admitted to spending his pocket money to buy Miss A’s albums.

He acknowledged his youthful naivety, but that was nothing bad—it meant he was developing normally.

“Later, when I went to university, I participated in activities with the student council, including senior Liu from civil engineering, who I was close with.

In 2017, he was in charge of the school anniversary and asked me which artists I wanted to see. I casually mentioned Suzy, and Liu took it seriously.

But I enlisted at the start of 2017, so Liu didn’t invite Suzy then.

By 2018, he was student council president, and I had just returned from service. Liu made an effort to invite JYP Entertainment.

Suzy came to Yonsei University and performed for half an hour, singing some of her own songs along with our school’s cheer songs.”

Recalling all this stirred emotions in Yin Yunhui.

“Senior Liu remembered this for over a year, so when I became student council president at Yonsei, facing the high expectations of my classmates, I had to make it happen!”

He explained his determination to assemble a lineup for the anniversary, even leveraging connections.

BTS wouldn’t just randomly perform at such a small event.

They could easily make a fortune by holding concerts elsewhere.

“Our Yunhui really takes responsibility,” Aunt Fang said, almost moved to tears.

Suddenly, Yin Yunhui realized something.

“Wait, that can’t be right.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Senior Liu was from civil engineering. When he graduated in 2018, I had my grandfather write him a recommendation letter to go to…”

Yin Yunhui’s face darkened.

“Taeyong Construction Group…”

At this, Aunt Fang couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Taeyong Construction—that’s a challenge your grandfather set aside just for you. None of us would interfere.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it properly.”

Taeyong Construction, a conglomerate, together with SBS, one of the three major public broadcasters, both have complex networks influencing much of the peninsula.

How to proceed, and to what extent, reflects strength and philosophy everywhere.

“Looks like Aunt overthought it.”

Professor Fang put the cat down, and it quickly darted away.

“Aunt thought you liked Suzy because you wanted to be an actor, maybe a way to get in touch with her.”

“Ah?”

Yin Yunhui felt awkward, as if she implied some ulterior motive.

“Suzy is indeed beautiful, but…”

“But?”

Professor Fang smiled.

“Her parents retired and now do charity work. I think that’s great. Don’t worry, as long as you can carry on the family line, we elders won’t look down on idols.”

“Aunt…”

Mentioning carrying on the family line always lowered the elders’ standards.

Yin Yunhui’s family was thriving, with members in all walks of life, even having produced a former president known as Haiwei.

Yet, in Yin Yunhui’s branch, things seemed a bit bleak. Counting him, three generations had only one male heir each.

Perhaps the ancestors had used up the “quota” for sons, averaging four or five sons each.

So, over time, either no children were born or only daughters.

“As long as you like Suzy, that’s fine. I even got to know her mother and mentioned you.”

Professor Fang truly lowered her expectations.

She came from the CS Daily Group, which owned a comprehensive network channel and organized the Blue Dragon Film Awards, giving her a broad and clear understanding of the entertainment industry.

An acting career wasn’t impossible.

There were precedents of actresses marrying into wealthy families, and daughters of the rich or influential families debuting as actresses or singers.

Professor Fang had indeed checked out Suzy’s parents—they were genuinely philanthropic, even if a bit extravagant, but that didn’t matter.

“No wonder Ms. Zheng was so enthusiastic. What, has she taken a liking to me on behalf of her daughter?”

Yin Yunhui laughed. Surely, they weren’t trying to arrange a blind date.

“Ms. Zheng said her daughter used to date, but for the past two years, she’s been focused on acting and hasn’t mentioned relationships. If she doesn’t consider it soon, she’ll be almost thirty.”

Professor Fang spoke casually, as if sharing family gossip, with no other intention, especially since Yin Yunhui didn’t seem interested.

“If it’s Suzy, even at forty she’ll have admirers. Her mother shouldn’t be in such a rush.”

Having said enough, Yin Yunhui quickly brought up the topic of investing in independent films.

“Alright, write up a detailed plan, get it approved by the board, and remember to keep records for auditing.”

The elders all supported Yin Yunhui’s career.

“But, Yunhui,” Professor Fang became serious, adopting the tone she usually used to scold students. Before she even spoke, Yin Yunhui knew what was coming:

“You’re a senior this year, graduating next year, wanting to start your own career. None of us oppose that.

But you need to hurry up and find a girlfriend, and have kids.

Getting married won’t affect your acting career, right?”

“Yes, yes!” Yin Yunhui sighed.

“I don’t know about others, but that’s my advice. If you don’t find someone, I’ll have to talk to Suzy’s mother and arrange a match.”

“No, please don’t!” Yin Yunhui exclaimed in protest.
