CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 386: PHOENIX MAN CHANG YUNHUAN

"Sister Lili, is that Mr. Chang’s name Chang Yun Huan?" Sisi asked with a smile.

Facing Sisi, Tian Lili regained her vigor and rolled her eyes at her. However, under Granny Zhao’s stern gaze, she had to straighten her look and replied, "Yes, his name is Chang Yun Huan. Why? You also want to get to know him?"

"How rude can you be?" Granny Zhao snorted coldly, and Tian Lili shivered, unable to help but internally complain about Granny Zhao’s partiality.

Sisi was taken aback, so it really was Chang Yun Huan. Who would have thought he’d end up teaching at the art school?

On the eve of graduation, everyone was busy with job assignments. Students with connections like Sisi and Shangguan naturally didn’t have to worry, but Chang Yun Huan was more enthusiastic than anyone because his goal was to stay and teach at the university.

This goal was set from the moment he entered university. To achieve it, he made many efforts: joining the Party, becoming a student union cadre, making a name for himself in school activities, and ingratiating himself with the school’s leaders and professors. It must be said, his efforts were not in vain; Professor Ma clearly told him that their department had one teaching position available, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would be his.

On hearing this good news, Chang Yun Huan found a secluded spot to laugh out loud, finally awaiting this day at the age of thirty! At this age of beginning his journey, he was finally seeing a rise in his fortunes, and he was sure to eventually reach high places.

However, the affairs of the world are forever changing, and what seemed a certainty for Chang Yun Huan to stay and teach was upended by the variable Mo Liu, a well-known successor of the Mo Family, compared to a rural lad lacking any remarkable talent in painting. The outcome was obvious.

Thus, before Chang Yun Huan had a chance to savor the cold at the height, he fell hard, left reeling.

Logically, in a situation like Chang Yun Huan’s, if one could not stay on at the university, they would be assigned back to their place of origin. How he managed to pull some strings to remain in Beijing, and even end up teaching at the art school, truly showed him to be a man tirelessly dedicated to his career!

"What’s wrong, do you know Mr. Chang?"

Seeing Sisi seemingly recognizing Chang Yun Huan, Tian Lili felt uneasy in her heart. Why is it that Sisi seems to be connected to all good things?

Sisi nodded, "Chang Yun Huan was a classmate in my university, he was the class president back then."

"Class president, huh? Then this Mr. Chang is quite ambitious, a good kid," Granny Zhao was always very pleased with students who could become class presidents.

"Granny, you guessed wrong this time. Chang Yun Huan certainly has ambition, but unfortunately, his character isn’t very good."

Concerned that Tian Lili might become Chang Yun Huan’s prey, Sisi chose a few of his school-time incidents to talk about.

It turns out Chang Yun Huan hadn’t changed his flirtatious ways, but he didn’t eat the grass by his own nest, rather he hooked up with a girl from another school. Supported by this girl, he lived comfortably throughout his four years of university.

The reason Sisi knew about these matters was because the girl came from Mo Xiaomi’s school and was effectively Mo Xiaomi’s junior.

But Chang Yun Huan was scummy because he was two-timing, with one foot on a girl from the normal university, and the other hooked with a girl from Beijing Foreign Studies University, coincidentally in the same department as Liu Qiqi. Sisi had seen Chang Yun Huan with that girl several times when she visited Liu Qiqi’s university.

"Grandpa, Granny, you don’t know, Chang Yunhuan comes from a very poor family, but because of his good looks, he often seduces innocent girls from well-off families, getting them to pay for his education and fun. I’ve seen it happen several times."

Sisi simply stated the facts, without any exaggeration. Hearing this, the Old Man and Granny Zhao frowned immediately, being old-fashioned people who absolutely looked down upon such improper conduct in young people.

"I never expected that there would be such ruffians even in universities, truly corrupting the academic atmosphere." Granny Zhao lamented. Then she turned to the dumbstruck Tian Lili and said, "Lili, you’d better not attend that Chang Yunhuan’s classes often, and avoid him whenever you see him, got it?"

Tian Lili didn’t believe a word Sisi said. She thought Tian Sisi must have said this deliberately to prevent her from getting along with Mr. Chang, probably because Sisi was jealous that she could see Mr. Chang every day.

"Granny, just because Sisi says Mr. Chang is bad doesn’t make it so. Maybe Sisi is lying?"

With a quick thought, Tian Lili added, "Mr. Chang is also a Party Member. Could a bad person join the Party?"

Everyone at the dining table was stumped by her question. Tian Lili was the sort who was not particularly eloquent, or else she wouldn’t lose out to Sisi every time they clashed. But her question was indeed to the point, leaving everyone unable to provide an answer.

What could they say? Claim that not all Party Members are good people? To speak such words at this time would be tantamount to courting death!

Seeing everyone’s bewildered expressions, Tian Lili felt very smug. She thought, "Take that, always saying I can’t match up to Tian Sisi’s intelligence, huh! Now you can’t even answer, can you?"

However, her smugness only lasted for ten seconds before Granny Zhao was the first to snap out of it, unleashing a mighty scolding: "Why would Ah Nan lie? If she says that Mr. Chang is bad, then he must be bad. Just you be careful, and if I find out you’ve been hanging out with that Chang at school, I’ll see how I’ll break your worthless legs."

Tian Lili, feeling extremely wronged, blurted out, "Granny, you’re being a fascist!"

"What are you saying? Not even listening to Granny’s words, if an elder tells you to do something, you should just do it obediently. Why all this nonsense?" The Old Man, who had kept silent thus far, now spoke up, and Tian Lili immediately lowered her head to eat, not daring to let out a peep.

In the Tian Family, other than Tian Aiguo, the Old Man was the person Tian Lili feared the most. Indeed, it was only because the Old Man was in Beijing that Tian Aiguo felt reassured to send his intellectually and emotionally clueless daughter there for schooling; otherwise, he would rather keep his daughter under close watch than to let her go out and potentially harm herself or others.

After dinner, Sisi escorted Tian Lili back to school. Before leaving, Granny Zhao again roared into Tian Lili’s ear, reinforcing the need to stay away from Chang Yunhuan.

Sitting in Sisi’s car and watching her drive with such skill, Tian Lili felt a mix of envy and jealousy. The car belonged to Sixth Brother, so why was it given to Tian Sisi and not to her, his own cousin?

Sisi sneered: "You must be goofy, girl. I’m Sixth Brother’s wife, his things are my things. Why should I let you, a silly cousin, use them?"

As the car came to a stop at the gate of the art school, Tian Lili was about to get out when Sisi decided, despite seeming spiteful, to add one more thing, "Chang Yunhuan is indeed not a good person. For a girl like Sister Lili, with pretty looks and a good family background, you’re exactly the type he loves to prey on. It’s better for you to be cautious."

"Hmph! Think I’m as dumb as you are?" Tian Lili scoffed. However, she was delighted to hear compliments from Sisi about her good looks and family background.

"Then let’s hope, Sister Lili, you don’t end up blind like those two female classmates!"

Seeing Tian Lili’s face freeze up instantly, Sisi left in a great mood, whistling as she drove off, leaving Tian Lili covered in the car’s exhaust.
