Prime Minister Tan and Cai Shengnan were both from scholarly families, so it wasn't that they didn't know the etiquette of attending a concert.
It was just that in their hearts, they didn't even consider a military arts performance as a concert …
To them, this was another social occasion.
Since they were going to socialize, talking was unavoidable.
Furthermore, it wasn't even time to start yet. Huo Shaoheng saying this was completely disrespectful.
Ever since the impeachment, Prime Minister Tan valued his reputation more and more. He couldn't tolerate the slightest bit of contempt or neglect from others.
However, today, he had been reprimanded by Song Jinning, the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, and then slapped in the face by Huo Shaoheng, the major general. It was really hard to swallow.
His expression darkened and he was about to explode, but Cai Shengnan quickly gave him a look and said quietly, "Uncle, don't make things difficult for Cousin …"
Thinking of his beloved daughter, Tan Guiren, Prime Minister Tan finally let out a long sigh and swallowed his anger.
Not long after, General Ji and the others entered and sat down in the front row.
Huo Shaoheng and Huo Guanchen both stood up to greet them.
General Ji and the others also greeted Prime Minister Tan and said very kindly and politely, "It's rare for you to come to the performance. It's our honor that your daughter can join our military art troupe. I hope she can continue to shine and bring glory to our nation."
"Thank you for your kind words, General Ji. Little Darling is a hardworking child and has talent. She has been longing to join the military art troupe this time." As Prime Minister Tan said this, he couldn't help but glance at Huo Shaoheng.
The corners of Song Jinning's eyes twitched. Just as she was about to beat Prime Minister Tan's thoughts back, she heard Huo Guanchen chuckle and say, "Prime Minister Tan, you're too kind. Actually, we've been longing for Miss Tan to join the military art troupe. Isn't that right, Shaoheng?"
Song Jinning finally understood where Prime Minister Tan got his confidence from?!
It turned out that someone had given him a reassurance pill.
It was really hard to guard against a thief in the family!
In front of so many people, it was up to these two old men to be shameless …
Song Jinning snorted inwardly and was about to retort with a straight face when she saw the lights in the auditorium dim and the performance begin.
She could only shut her mouth and enjoy the art troupe's performance with everyone else.
It had to be said that this performance was practically Tan Guiren's solo performance.
Other than the violin solo and concerto, Tan Guiren was the center of attention even during the chorus and the dance.
The TV cameras were on her, and the stage lights were on her.
When she stands on the stage, all the people become her scenery board.
She really plays the violin very well.
When she picked up her piano, she only had her own piano in her heart and eyes. The melodious music flowed from her fingertips and reverberated throughout the performance hall.
Her skills were exquisite, her emotions were full, and her deeply hidden thoughts were all vividly displayed. She performed even better than when she won an international award in the United States.
At the end of the song, the audience was silent for a few minutes before bursting into thunderous applause!
Even Song Jinning had to admit that although this girl looked a little silly, her zither playing skills were superb.
…
Jinling Bar did not prohibit smoking.
He Zhichu sat calmly in front of the bar counter, the sleeves of his custom-made olive green shirt rolled up to reveal a low-key but luxurious limited edition watch on his wrist. He held a lighter in one hand as he lit a cigarette and took a slow drag.
As he waited for the bartender to make his drink, He Zhichu turned around and looked at the large flat-screen TV hanging on the wall of the bar.
Because the students had booked the entire place, the bar was much cleaner, and the faintly discernible old Christmas songs became background music. The bar, which was usually crowded with people from all walks of life, was now more elegant.
The TV was originally playing a sports program, but when He Zhichu saw the Hua Xia Empire's national men's soccer team playing, he immediately felt that it was worse than the bartender's blond hair dyed red. He immediately changed the channel.
When he changed the channel, it was actually the news channel. He Zhichu turned up the volume.
Soon, the students on the other side of the bar saw He Zhichu.
Several students immediately came over to greet him.
"Professor He!"
"I didn't think Professor He would actually come!"
"What would you like to drink, Professor He? My treat! "
First, a few boys who wanted to get close to He Zhichu ran around to get him food and red wine.
Then a few courageous girls also came over.
"Professor He, you're only here now?"
"Yes, Professor He, if you had come earlier, you would have been able to watch an idol drama!" The girl who had just been jealous of Gu Nianzhi was angry. She couldn't stand the sight of the boys circling around Gu Nianzhi like bees to honey.
He Zhichu didn't say anything and smiled as he took a sip of his cocktail.
The girl saw that He Zhichu wasn't as cold and distant as usual, so she boldly asked, "Don't you want to know who's the lead in the idol drama?"
He Zhichu was in a good mood today. He smiled and blew out a smoke ring. He shook his head. "I don't know."
He Zhichu actually answered …
The girl's heart skipped a beat. She immediately said, "It's Gu Nianzhi! She was kissing a man in a luxury car at the entrance of the bar! Everyone saw it, right? "
She nudged the girl next to her.
The girl was a bit afraid of He Zhichu. She muttered, "I didn't see it with my own eyes. I heard it from the boys over there. They were at the entrance to pick her up. I heard they saw it with their own eyes. "
"That's right, I didn't start a rumor. Gu Nianzhi didn't deny it when they were making a fuss!"
If she didn't deny it, then it was true.
Although He Zhichu was mentally prepared, he had to admit that he was still panicking.
But what could he do?
No matter how much he wanted to, he could only endure it until Gu Nianzhi graduated.
He Zhichu's expression didn't change at all. He coughed and said coldly, "What do you mean by telling me all this?"
"You're telling the teacher about classmates dating? May I ask how old you are? "He Zhichu said sarcastically. He turned around and took another sip of his tequila cocktail.
The girl who passed the message froze and looked at He Zhichu suspiciously.
Wasn't there a rumor at school that He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi were in a student-teacher relationship?
Was it not?
He didn't seem angry at all …
The veins on He Zhichu's forehead were about to explode.
Fortunately, the other girls were quick-witted and quickly said, "That's right, what's wrong with Gu Nianzhi being intimate with her boyfriend? You're such a busybody! "
As they spoke, they pushed the girl who had been jealous of Gu Nianzhi to the side and began to flatter Professor He.
They didn't have to chase after He Zhichu, but with He Zhichu's status, they wanted to familiarize themselves with him. When they graduated, it would be very useful for finding a job or writing recommendation letters.
Everyone wanted to suck up to him, so who would be stupid enough to make him angry?
He Zhichu's behavior was also very obvious.
Other than the girl who had been jealous, He Zhichu didn't say a word to anyone else.
However, when it came to other students, be it boys or girls, he would talk to them in a pleasant manner. Whether it was about studies, work, or American universities, he would tell them everything he knew without holding anything back. His status in the hearts of the students rose by a few levels.
In the past, He Zhichu always had an air of superiority about him. He was the famous flower of the Faculty of Law.
Now, he was gentle and kind. He really had the air of a gentleman, so more students surrounded him.
Gu Nianzhi saw He Zhichu from afar. She wanted to go over, but seeing that he was quickly surrounded by her classmates, she didn't go over to join in the fun.
…
"Your Tequila-Sunrise." The bartender finished mixing the drink and passed it to He Zhichu.
When He Zhichu turned to accept his cocktail, the news channel he had already tuned to was broadcasting a piece of news.
"… The Military Art Performance is just around the corner, and the Military Art Troupe has delivered a satisfactory performance tonight. The world-renowned violin virtuoso, Miss Tan Guiren, is also the only daughter of Prime Minister Tan. She joined the Military Art Troupe and gave a stunning performance to the military leaders, cabinet leaders, and Parliament. "
Immediately after, a melodious violin concerto played from the high-quality surround sound speakers.
The sports channel only had images of the soccer match earlier, so the volume was off.
He Zhichu wanted to watch the news, so he turned up the volume. He didn't expect it to be at its loudest.
He instinctively looked in Gu Nianzhi's direction.
As expected, everyone was attracted by the sound of the television and looked over one by one.
On the large television screen, Tan Guiren was wearing a long, sequined purple dress. The neckline was wide open, revealing her snow-white breasts.
Her long hair was curled into large curls and swayed passionately as she played the violin. It was a different kind of temptation.
Immediately after, the television camera switched to the audience below.
Traditionally, the most important people were seated in the first two rows of the stage for this kind of performance.
Although Huo Shaoheng's figure only appeared briefly on the television, Gu Nianzhi still recognized him at first glance.
