Tang Xiu stared blankly for a moment upon hearing it. He had been hearing Zhang Xinya's name a lot in recent days. Even the billboards in many places in Shanghai were all her endorsements. Could it be that she was really that popular now?
"Mu Wanying, the school invited a celebrity to the freshmen welcoming party?"
Mu Wanying chuckled and said, "There has never been such a precedent in the past. But it's a coincidence this time. Someone happened to know Zhang Xinya, so she was invited!"
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "The current celebrity effect seems to be helpful to the school. The school may take this opportunity to publicize it better! "
Mu Wanying said with a smile, "Nowadays, all the famous schools are competing fiercely to recruit outstanding students. The school has just started, so the school may not need it. But it's hard to say next year. With a living signboard like Zhang Xinya, I'm sure it will attract a lot of outstanding students. "
Tan Xiu smiled and couldn't help but shake his head.
Going to school?
In today's era, being a student or not was no longer important. Even if they had a good diploma in the future, so what? They would still have to worry about finding a job and work for others. He once heard others say that many students would rather enter the society and learn a craft earlier than studying for 3-4 years in school.
Of course.
Tan Xiu didn't agree with this theory. The knowledge in school was the foundation, while learning a craft was practice. If smart students could combine the two and master the textbook knowledge, they would also find time to practice. This was the smartest choice.
In the evening.
Tan Xiu and Mu Wanying ordered takeout and ate in the villa. After tidying up, they drove to the campus. Yue Kai and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Big Bro Tang, Great Beauty Mu, why are you …"
A strange expression hung on Yue Kai's beautiful face, which carried a seductive charm.
"I saw Mu Wanying at noon," Tan Xiu explained casually. "She followed me out of the campus and helped me buy a zither outside."
"Did you buy it?" Yue Kai asked curiously.
"The quality of the zithers sold in those shops is not good, so I borrowed one." Tan Xiu shook his head.
Yue Kai laughed and said, "It's up to you tonight. Don't lose face for our dormitory."
With a faint smile, Tan Xiu turned to look at Mu Wanying and asked, "Are you going directly to the school auditorium with us? Or … "
Mu Wanying said, "I'll go back to the dorm first! They should be waiting for me in the dormitory. "
Tan Xiu looked at Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong and said, "One of you drive her back! If we walk from here to the girls' dormitory, it will take quite a while. "
"Damn!"
"Damn!"
Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong shouted in unison.
Mu Wanying glanced at Tan Xiu and softly said, "I don't need you to send me off. I'll walk there myself."
Finished!
She turned to leave.
As Mu Wanying's figure disappeared at the corner of the distant path, Yue Kai glared at Hu Qingsong and shouted, "Mu Wanying is mine. Don't fight with me over her!"
Hu Qingsong also widened his eyes and angrily shouted, "That's what I wanted to tell you! Mu Wanying is mine. Don't fight with me over her! "
Tan Xiu looked at the two men staring at each other and immediately let out a wry smile, "Can't you two be good? It's just a trivial matter. "
Xue Chao nodded in agreement and muttered, "That's right. It's just a trivial matter. Besides, Mu Wanying obviously likes Eldest Bro Tang. She won't even look at you even if you two fight until you break your scalps. "
"Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong immediately shouted at Xue Chao.
Then …
The two men exchanged glances with resentful expressions on their faces. They were not fools. How could they not see that Mu Wanying was interested in Tan Xiu? But they were reluctant to part with such a great beauty!
Hu Qingsong was silent for a while. Then, he suddenly turned to look at Tan Xiu and seriously said, "Eldest Bro Tang, lend me your Audi A8 for three days."
"What do you mean?" Tan Xiu stared blankly and asked with a confused expression.
"I'll give the great beauty Mu to you," said Hu Qingsong.
"Please don't give her to me." Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh. "I don't have any interest in Mu Wanying. Go ahead and chase her if you like her."
"Unless you disappear from Earth, do you think we have a chance?" Hu Qingsong angrily said. "Rather than wasting my time, it's better to be smart and extort some benefits from you. Cut the crap. I'll give you three big meals and lend me your Audi A8 for three days. I'll change my target later. "
"Why do I feel like I'm a sucker?" Tan Xiu forced a wry smile. "Forget it. It's your business whether you want to chase her or not. I'll give you the car key at any time. Are you satisfied? "
Hu Qingsong nodded with satisfaction. He reached out to hug Tan Xiu's shoulder and smilingly said, "Eldest Bro Tang is really forthright. What about you, Yue Kai? You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, will you? If you don't give up, then continue chasing her! I really want to see you hit your head and bleed, yet you end up with nothing. "
"Scram!"
Yue Kai pointed his middle finger at him. He then looked at Tan Xiu and said, "Eldest Bro Tang, I'll give you six big meals and lend me your Range Rover for six days."
Tan Xiu rolled his eyes and threw the car key to Yue Kai, saying, "If any of you tell this to Zhao Liang, I'll nullify my promise to you."
Yue Kai looked happy and grinningly took the car key. He blew a kiss to Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "Only a fool would tell such a good thing to Zhao Liang. That brat may be handsome, but there's still a big gap between him and me. He won't have a chance. But Eldest Bro Tang, are you really not going to pursue Mu Wanying? She's the best looking woman I've ever seen. She has the best figure and the best temperament. "
Tan Xiu rolled his eyes and smilingly scolded, "I'm really not interested. I think our top priority now is to study. Besides studying, we should think about the future. It would be best if we can spare some time to do some business. "
Yue Kai couldn't help laughing and said, "Eldest Bro Tang, we came to the University to study. Do you really want to study hard? As for doing business, don't joke with me. Even if we have the capital, we don't have the direction! "
"Eldest Bro Tang is talking in his sleep!" Hu Qingsong grinned. "How about we give him a punch to wake him up? It's simply a joke for a college student to do business. "
Tan Xiu was speechless.
He felt that if he told them that he had been doing business since he was in high school, would their eyes pop out?
"Let's go! Let's go to the University Auditorium. "
In order to not attract attention, they didn't drive but strolled toward the University Auditorium. When they came inside, they found that seats had been arranged according to each department and each class. The auditorium, which could accommodate nearly 10,000 people, was already half full at this time.
"Eldest Bro Tang, you have to go backstage. The members of each class who will participate in the performance must go to the backstage to sign in. Additionally, the backstage is specially provided for the students to rest. You can come to the front after you finish your performance, "said Hu Qingsong.
Tang Xiu, who was holding the zither, nodded in response.
After asking around, he quickly arrived at the corridor at the back of the auditorium. He saw many busy students and some well-behaved students from classes. He followed the names of the faculties and classes that were marked on the doors of each room and easily found where the students from his class who were participating in the performance were.
"Are you holding a zither, Tan Xiu?"
A delicate and pretty girl, who was putting on makeup, immediately turned her head and asked curiously when she saw Tan Xiu sitting next to her.
"Yeah, it's a zither," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
"You're going to perform a zither?" asked the girl.
"I'll play and sing," said Tan Xiu.
The girl raised her thumb and praised, "You're really amazing. There's even a boy who can play the zither nowadays. Furthermore, you're going to play and sing. Do you have a good singing voice? "
"It's just so-so," said Tan Xiu with a light smile.
The girl nodded and no longer talked to Tan Xiu, continuing to put on makeup.
At this time, there were more than a dozen classmates in the room who were either putting on makeup or sharpening their skills to familiarize themselves with the upcoming performance. After sitting down, Tan Xiu took out his mobile phone and played with it. For him, he didn't need to practice the performance at all. He could directly play and sing.
At this time.
In another room only tens of meters away from the backstage rest area of the History Department, several makeup artists were surrounding Zhang Xinya and putting on makeup for her. Behind her, a middle-aged woman with a forced smile on her face looked outside the door from time to time.
Creak …
The door was pushed open and a leader of Shanghai University came in with the same forced smile on his face. He quickly glanced at Zhang Xinya and then looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "I can't find her. Shanghai University isn't a Music Academy after all, so there are too few teachers and students who know how to play the zither. Also, I've already sent someone outside the campus to look for her, but I don't know if it's too late. "
The middle-aged woman frowned and said, "Vice President Li, we must find someone who can play the zither! We forgot the accompaniment music in our residence. Even if we go back now, I'm afraid it's too late. So … "
The middle-aged Vice President Li sighed helplessly. Just as he and the middle-aged woman were at their wits' end, a school teacher quickly came to the room with a program list and shouted, "I found her! A student from our campus has signed up for a program that involves playing the zither and singing. How about we ask him to come and give it a try? "
Vice President Li looked happy and quickly took the program list. After seeing the content on it, he immediately said, "Then hurry up and find him. We can only try it as a last resort in this situation. "
Zhang Xinya, who was having her makeup done, slightly frowned and said with a displeased expression, "What are you talking about, Vice President Li?! What do you mean by trying it as a last resort? Our singing style belongs to the ancient style. Although the student signed up for a program that involves playing the zither and singing, it's hard to say whether he can help us or not. Besides, there's only half an hour left before the freshmen welcoming party of Shanghai University. I'm afraid the effect won't be very good even if we try to get used to it. "
