Movie/TV series: Starting with Ode to Joy, I opened my own private kitchen.

Hearing Su Chang's words, Pei Yin looked at him in disbelief, somewhat surprised. She had never imagined Su Chang would say such a thing. However, seeing the determination in Su Chang's expression, a warmth gradually rose in her heart, but she still said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Su Chang patted his chest and said confidently, "Sister Pei Yin, you can rest assured and leave it to me. If he dares to bully you, I'll make sure he suffers."

Pei Yin looked at Su Chang, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a strange excitement about Su Chang's actions. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Back in the private room, Su Chang was delighted to see that Qiao Yingzi and the other two maids had already given up the main seat and the seat on the right. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips as he thought to himself that these maids were quite sensible.

The dishes were all served. After Su Chang and Pei Yin sat down, he waved his hand and said generously, "Everyone, let's start eating!" The three girls stopped making a fuss and quietly began to eat.

After finishing their meal, as they passed the front desk, Su Chang casually grabbed two bottles of the restaurant's best wine. Although each bottle only cost around 3.9 yuan, which was nothing to them, he and Pei Yin exchanged a glance, both revealing sly smiles, like mice that had just stolen some oil.

Seeing their expressions, Qiao Yingzi and her group of five were puzzled, wondering what the two were so happy about. But they didn't dare to ask any more questions and simply followed the two out of the restaurant.

Afterwards, following the travel guide sent by Wang Shengnan, Pei Yin led Su Chang and the others on a tour of Jiangzhou. Along the way, Pei Yin carefully introduced the local customs and culture of Jiangzhou, while Su Chang listened attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Finally, because Su Chang said he wanted to bring some gifts back for his friends, Pei Yin took them to the shopping mall.

In a Chanel store, Su Chang picked up a bag and a dress with Chinese elements and said to Pei Yin, "Sister Pei Yin, why don't you try these on?"

Pei Yin looked at Su Chang with a puzzled expression and asked, "Su Chang, why do you want me to try this?"

Su Chang smiled enigmatically and said casually, "My friend and Sister Pei Yin have similar figures, I'd like you to help her try."

Chapter 201 Leaving Jiangzhou

Back in the private room, Su Chang was delighted to see that Qiao Yingzi and the other two maids had already given up the main seat and the seat on the right. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips as he thought to himself that these maids were quite sensible.

The dishes were all served. After Su Chang and Pei Yin sat down, he waved his hand and said generously, "Everyone, let's start eating!" The three girls stopped making a fuss and quietly began to eat.

After finishing their meal, as they passed the front desk, Su Chang casually grabbed two bottles of the restaurant's best wine. Although each bottle only cost around a thousand yuan, it was nothing to them, but he and Pei Yin exchanged a glance, both revealing a sly smile, like mice that had stolen oil.

Seeing their expressions, Qiao Yingzi and her group of five were puzzled, wondering what the two were so happy about. But they didn't dare to ask any more questions and simply followed the two out of the restaurant.

Afterwards, following the travel guide sent by Wang Shengnan, Pei Yin led Su Chang and the others on a tour of Jiangzhou. Along the way, Pei Yin carefully introduced the local customs and culture of Jiangzhou, while Su Chang listened attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Finally, because Su Chang said he wanted to bring some gifts back for his friends, Pei Yin took them to the shopping mall.

In a Chanel store, Su Chang picked up a bag and a dress with Chinese elements and said to Pei Yin, "Sister Pei Yin, why don't you try these on?"

Pei Yin looked at Su Chang with a puzzled expression and asked, "Su Chang, why do you want me to try this?"

Su Chang smiled enigmatically and said casually, "My friend has a similar figure to Sister Pei Yin, and I'd like you to help her try."

Hearing Su Chang's words, Pei Yin felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She thought, "He must be Su Chang's girlfriend. Of course, how could such a handsome and outstanding boy not have a girlfriend? Pei Yin, don't overthink it."

After some self-pity, Pei Yin calmed herself down and went to try on the clothes. When Pei Yin came out wearing that dress, Su Chang's eyes lit up. She looked like a fairy descended to earth.

“This really suits you, let’s buy this one.” Su Chang said, walking directly to the waiter to swipe her card and pay.

Just as Pei Yin was about to go to the fitting room to change, Su Chang stopped her and said softly, "Wear it, it looks beautiful."

Pei Yin then realized that Su Chang hadn't bought this gift for a friend; it was specially for her. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart. However, when she saw that the price was over 100,000 yuan, she initially wanted to refuse. But seeing Su Chang's determined eyes, she had no choice but to accept the gift: "Thank you, Su Chang."

The three girls, watching this scene from the side, were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Seeing the three girls' resentful little expressions, and since they hadn't caused him any trouble this afternoon, Su Chang was in a great mood. He waved his hand generously and said, "You three girls, go pick out an outfit you like, I'll pay!"

"Long live Teacher Su!" The three girls, who had been looking dejected, immediately perked up. They cheered and ran to the clothes rack, starting to pick out their favorite clothes. Su Chang felt very satisfied watching their happy faces.

Ji Yangyang didn't find anything wrong with Su Chang's actions; he simply stood quietly to the side and watched everything unfold.

Fang Yifan, however, was different. Like a monkey, he quickly approached Su Chang, his face showing a resentful expression, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Teacher Su, have you forgotten that there are two other people here?" Fang Yifan's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction and protest.

Seeing Fang Yifan clowning around again, Su Chang couldn't help but feel a surge of joking interest. He deliberately feigned confusion and said, "I haven't forgotten. Aren't you and Yangyang here? You're not lost."

Seeing Su Chang feigning ignorance, Fang Yifan became even more annoyed. He stopped beating around the bush and directly accused her: "No, Teacher Su, this is discrimination. Why can girls get gifts while Ji Yangyang and I don't? This is favoring girls over boys, and it's not fair."

Su Chang glanced at him with amusement, then pointed at the items in the store and said provocatively, "Come on, Fang Yifan, go try it on. If you dare to wear it on the street, I'll buy it for you right away."

Qiao Yingzi was picking out clothes not far away when she heard Su Chang's words, and her eyes lit up immediately. Like an excited little bird, she ran over, grabbed Fang Yifan's arm, and teased, "Fang Hou, come here quickly, I'll help you pick out a dress, and I'll make you the most beautiful sight in this shopping mall."

Upon hearing Qiao Yingzi's words, Fang Yifan immediately pictured himself looking ridiculous in a skirt. He involuntarily shuddered, waving his hands frantically with a terrified expression, and said, "Yingzi, stop messing around, okay? I don't want it anymore!"

"That definitely won't work," Qiao Yingzi immediately shook her head firmly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Then, she grabbed Fang Yifan with one hand and waved to Ji Yangyang with the other, shouting loudly, "Ji Yangyang, come help! Don't you want to see Fang Yifan transform into a cross-dressing master?"

Upon hearing Qiao Yingzi's call, not only Ji Yangyang, but also Wang Yidi and Huang Zhitao lost all interest in picking out clothes. They came running over to help like a pack of hungry wolves.

Fang Yifan suddenly felt like he was trapped in a nightmare. He was no match for the overwhelming number of opponents, and his heart was filled with helplessness and despair. With a look of utter despair, he cried out to Su Chang, "Teacher Su, save me! I really don't want this anymore, please save me!"

Looking at Fang Yifan's pitiful appearance, Su Chang couldn't help but smile slightly, secretly finding it amusing. He knew Fang Yifan was a mischievous child, so he deliberately wanted to tease him.

"To be honest, I'm quite curious to see what you look like as a cross-dressing master. I've only heard of it but never seen it!" Su Chang teased, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yifan's face instantly turned bright red. His eyes widened, and he looked both ashamed and angry. The waiters, watching this scene, wore awkward expressions, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Su Chang smiled and said, "Alright! Stop fooling around, all of you. Yingzi, Taozi, Yidi, you three go pick out some clothes, I'll take you to get some snacks later." His voice was full of affection.

Hearing Su Chang's words, the group felt somewhat disappointed that they couldn't see Fang Yifan transform into a cross-dressing master, but they had no choice but to let go of Fang Yifan.

Fang Yifan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly took a few steps back, distancing himself from the group. He patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced.

Huang Zhitao chose a very simple dress. Standing in front of the mirror, she gently turned her body, a satisfied smile on her face. Her entire demeanor improved, as if she had transformed into an elegant lady.

Wang Yidi, however, chose a Lolita outfit. She excitedly put it on, twirled around like a little princess, and her face beamed with happiness, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Qiao Yingzi chose a minimalist suit. She tidied her hair in front of the mirror and gave a confident smile. She really did have the air of a sophisticated urban woman.

Looking at them, Su Chang couldn't help but admire how beautiful these girls were. He swiped his card to pay, his movements clean and efficient, exuding a dashing charm.

Afterwards, Su Chang bought a tablet for Ji Yangyang and Fang Yifan at the mall. The two were as happy as children, their faces beaming with excited smiles.

"Thank you, Teacher Su!" Ji Yangyang said happily.

"Hehe, I love this gift so much!" Fang Yifan chimed in.

Su Chang smiled and patted them on the shoulder, saying, "No need to thank me, just study hard in the future."

Next, Pei Yin led everyone to stroll around the food street. They enjoyed various delicacies while chatting and laughing, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Looking at them, Su Chang felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He felt that being with these children made him feel younger and more innocent, and his mindset became much more peaceful.

Afterwards, Pei Yin led everyone to buy a lot of local specialties. This time, Pei Yin paid for everything as a return gift. Su Chang didn't refuse; he knew Pei Yin meant well.

"Thank you, Aunt Pei Yin!" the children said in unison.

"You're welcome, I'm glad you like it," Pei Yin replied with a smile.

Next, they headed towards the airport. Su Chang had originally intended to take Pei Yin home first, but she insisted on taking Su Chang and the others to the airport.

"No need, Sister Pei Yin, you should go back first. I'm worried about you coming back alone," Su Chang said.

“No, I’m going to take you to the airport.” Pei Yin’s eyes revealed determination.

Su Chang ultimately did not refuse; he knew Pei Yin's feelings.

Upon arriving at the airport, it was almost time to board. Pei Yin reluctantly said goodbye to Su Chang. She held Su Chang's hand tightly, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Goodbye, Su Chang," Pei Yin said, her voice trembling slightly.

"Goodbye, Sister Pei Yin. Thank you so much for your hospitality this time. Next time you go to Kyoto or Shanghai, give me a call and I'll treat you," Su Chang said.

"Okay, I'll definitely come find you next time. It's almost time to board, you guys go in quickly." Although Pei Yin was a little reluctant, she still let go of Su Chang's hand and urged him on.

"Okay, then Sister Pei Yin, please be careful on your journey. Send me a message when you get home, and call me if anything happens." Su Chang led the five people into the waiting hall only after receiving Pei Yin's affirmative reply.

Only after the group had disappeared from sight did Pei Yin leave in the van with a dejected look on her face. In the van, she kept staring at the photos of Su Chang that she had secretly taken earlier that day and chuckling to herself.

At the arrival gate of Kyoto Airport, everyone eagerly awaited their arrival.

Chapter 202 Complaint

Pan Shuai and Liu Zheng were chatting excitedly about racing, while Qiao Weidong and Fang Yuan were bragging. Song Qian and Tong Wenjie were sharing their travel stories. Only Wang Qing was listening quietly, occasionally glancing at the crowd at the arrival gate, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

After Su Chang led the five people out, before everyone could react, Qiao Weidong's loud voice rang out: "Yingzi, Daddy and Mommy are here, come quickly."

Su Chang shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "This Qiao Weidong, he's always so loud and boisterous, and what's with that nickname? When did you, a Beijing man, start hanging out in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles?"

Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Yingzi's previously exhausted body instantly surged with energy, and she dashed towards Qiao Weidong and the others like a joyful little bird. Qiao Weidong and Song Qian also quickly ran to the other side of the railing, their faces beaming with happiness.

Seeing this, Wang Yidi also started accelerating and ran towards his mother, Wang Qing. Su Chang looked at them and chuckled to himself, "These two kids are really full of energy."

He led Huang Zhitao, and Fang Yifan and Ji Yangyang, who were swaying behind him, and walked forward at a leisurely pace.

Tong Wenjie greeted Fang Yifan warmly, but Fang Yifan just waved and followed behind at a leisurely pace, as if enjoying the leisurely time.

After everyone gathered, Wang Qing and Wang Yidi greeted Su Chang first and then left. Liu Zheng led Ji Yangyang away, and then Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie led Fang Yifan away.

Only Qiao Yingzi's family of three, Su Chang, Wang Yidi, and Pan Shuai remained in the room.

Qiao Weidong warmly invited, "Teacher Su, you've really worked hard this time. Don't you also live in Shuxiang Yayuan? Why don't you ride back with me?" His face was full of sincerity, and his eyes revealed his gratitude to Su Chang.

Surprisingly, Song Qian also invited, "Yes, Teacher Su, why don't you ride back in our car? It just so happens that Lao Qiao is driving a minivan this time, and it can fit everyone." There was a hint of surprise in her tone, but her smile was very friendly.

Su Chang stared at Song Qian with a look of surprise, and even Qiao Yingzi began to look Song Qian up and down. Both of them had doubts in their eyes, wondering if Qiao Weidong was just using the trip as a cover, and if they were actually going somewhere to exchange Song Qian. The change was too drastic.

Even Huang Zhitao muttered to herself, "Is this still the Aunt Song Qian I know? She seems like a completely different person."

Song Qian understood what everyone was thinking, and a hint of embarrassment and guilt appeared on her face. She bowed to Su Chang and apologized sincerely, "Teacher Su, it was my fault before, and I apologize to you."

Although Su Chang didn't understand why Song Qian had changed so much, he could tell that Song Qian's personality was indeed quite good now, but he didn't know how long it would last.

He was a little curious. What had happened during this time? It must be related to Qiao Weidong. However, he didn't want to ask too much. He just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Teacher Song. As long as this doesn't happen again, that's fine."

Song Qian repeatedly assured her, "Don't worry, Teacher Su, it won't happen again." A hint of embarrassment appeared in her eyes.

Seeing that Su Chang had forgiven Song Qian, Qiao Weidong invited her again, "Teacher Su, let's go. My car is parked outside." He had a warm smile on his face.

Su Chang clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you very much! I'm just really sorry, I'm not going back to Shuxiang Yayuan today, so I won't take your car back. You can just take Pan Shuai and Tao Zi back with you."

"Where are you going? Let me take you there first," Qiao Weidong said, his eyes revealing a hint of flattery. Indeed, Song Qian had gone too far in what she had done to Su Chang.

"No need, someone will pick me up." Su Chang smiled. He had called Zheng Shuyi before boarding the plane, so why would he take Qiao Weidong's car now? Isn't it better to be picked up by a beautiful woman?

"Alright then." Seeing that Su Chang didn't seem to be just being polite, Qiao Weidong didn't press the matter.

As the group walked out of the arrivals hall, Zheng Shuyi ran towards Su Chang. Her face beamed with a bright smile as she called out, "President Su!"

Su Chang's smile widened even more when he saw Zheng Shuyi. He went up to her, patted her head, and said, "Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived too." Zheng Shuyi's voice carried a hint of gentleness.

"Alright, be careful on the road, I'll be going now." After saying goodbye to the others, Su Chang and Zheng Shuyi walked together toward the Maybach that Zheng Shuyi had recently bought.
