Chapter 300: Fascination (Part 1)

Time flies swiftly.

Having temporarily appeased his uncle, the Mid-Autumn Festival gala arrived in the blink of an eye.

On September 30, 2001, early in the morning, every class at Ji Province University was bustling with preparations.

Some classes arranged group dances, some prepared solo singing performances, and others planned to showcase qigong or comedic sketches. In short, the university was very open, offering a rich variety of programs for the gala. No matter what performance was prepared, it could participate in the school’s competition and vie for honors for both the class and the department.

Wang Yuan and the others were already prepared.

Having learned a lot of musical techniques from the seniors recently, and with Zhao Qingfeng’s arrangement of ‘Chicken, You’re So Beautiful,’ performed by six people as a ‘Sing, Dance, RAP, Basketball’ act, they were set to perform tonight.

They weren’t concerned about winning.

Teacher Yu wasn’t too focused on that either. Everyone believed in putting happiness first and competition second. Moreover, he was more concerned about the national competition.

If they could achieve a top ten finish in the national competition, Jida’s computer science department would be recognized nationwide, avoiding the clichéd topics of educational gaps often discussed in faculty meetings.

Teacher Yu came to find Zhao Qingfeng early in the morning to inquire about the arrangements after the National Day holiday.

The preliminary round was scheduled for October 10 in the afternoon. With time pressing, he hoped Zhao Qingfeng would stay at the university during the National Day holiday to further synchronize with Li Ping and other team members.

Zhao Qingfeng declined, “Teacher Yu, I’ll be back by October 8. Three days is enough for us to sync up. Moreover, our company has a lot to handle over the holiday, and I really can’t get away.”

Teacher Yu understood, knowing Zhao Qingfeng was more concerned about Shen Lingyao, but he didn’t voice this, “That’s true, the development of Lingfeng Technology is also important. I’ll find time to talk to Li Ping and the others. Regardless, it’s essential that everyone communicates well before the competition to understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses. This will ensure mutual support during the competition. By the way, do we need to tell Li Ping and the others about your real identity?”

So far, very few people knew that Zhao Qingfeng was in charge of Lingfeng Technology.

After thinking it over, Zhao Qingfeng still shook his head, “It’s not the right time yet. Let’s wait until after the competition to tell them. I want to see their true capabilities and don’t want our relationship to be affected by my status.”

Relations between classmates could be managed easily.

Once Li Ping and the others knew Zhao Qingfeng was the CEO of Lingfeng Technology, their relationship would definitely change quickly, potentially affecting the competition’s progress.

Zhao Qingfeng also intended to recruit more talented individuals, and the competition was a good opportunity to observe everyone’s performance.

If their character and talent were promising, revealing his status later wouldn’t be too late.

With that settled, Teacher Yu went to handle the Mid-Autumn Festival gala preparations.

Zhao Qingfeng watched for a while, finding Wang Yuan and the others’ ‘Chicken, You’re So Beautiful’ amusing. As long as it made the students happy, that was all that mattered.

At 10 a.m., he found Shen Lingyao in the music room.

At the moment, Shen Lingyao was very nervous.

By now, whether on the school forum or within the LeXin friend circle, the number of students supporting Li Manrou to win the championship was the highest. They were all fascinated by her campus performances in the past few days.

Upon entering,

Shen Lingyao was sitting in front of the piano, closing her beautiful eyes to muster courage for herself.

Dressed in a white pleated skirt with a black short-sleeved t-shirt, the sunlight through the window shone on her ponytail, making her youthful and beautiful face even more striking.

Shen Lingyao, you can do it!

Your original song is so beautiful, there will definitely be no problems today!

Hmph!
