Chapter 309: The Undisputed Number One (Part 2)

Until the performance was over, she finally took a long breath.

Then turning her head towards the audience, there was silence.

This made her nervous again, wondering if it was because she didn’t sing well?

But in an instant, overwhelming applause came, even leading to a standing ovation, with the applause lasting for a long time!

The folk style of the song was very close to life.

Combined with Shen Lingyao’s all-out effort and emotional delivery,

Although the overall song did not have the sharp penetration of Li Manrou’s performance, it had an added warmth and inspiration.

Making the light and jumping form of the song quickly infect everyone present, moving every listener.

“It’s too beautiful…”

“Is this a divine song, oh my god…”

“I feel like it could easily top the Mandarin pop charts. If Shen Lingyao debuts, she’s definitely going to be a superstar!”

At this moment.

No one dared to say Shen Lingyao’s ‘original’ song was bad.

Even the previously stubborn students had nothing to say.

Especially the girls, some noted down the lyrics on the spot, and some were moved to tears, deeply immersed in the meaning of the lyrics.

Looking at the principal and Director Zhang.

Their eyes were already wide with amazement, alternating looks between Shen Lingyao and Zhao Qingfeng, thinking what a match of talents they were, damn, being so awesome in both academics and entertainment, truly a match made in heaven…

But the principal was still somewhat annoyed.

Thinking back to the scene of going to Beijing for the preliminaries after the National Day, he could never forgive Zhao Qingfeng’s reckless decision.

While he was in a bittersweet mood, Teacher Gao was beyond joyful.

Her clapping and shouting were the most intense in the entire venue, even crying and waving her hands in excitement, tears in her eyes, “Shen Lingyao, Yaoyao, you… you’re really the best! Today you’ve really made us proud of our original music, I… I love your song so much, I have to give you full marks today, no one can stop me!”

There was no reason not to give full marks, as it was superior in every aspect.

Shen Lingyao bowed in thanks, her plump cheeks filled with joy, her beautiful eyes turning to look at Zhao Qingfeng below the stage.

Their eyes met, filled with tender affection, almost exploding with just one more glance.

Then she scanned the crowd and quickly locked eyes with the dark-faced Li Manrou.

Li Manrou was already dumbfounded, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her lips trembling.

This was a near-perfect original song she had never heard or dared to imagine.

She did not want to admit she was inferior to Shen Lingyao, but now, even her boyfriend beside her was not hiding his admiration, continuously applauding.

Looking at her own supporters.

They were also shouting loudly, indicating that Shen Lingyao’s performance tonight was much stronger than her own, and she was defeated again, feeling terrible!

“Let’s go!”

Li Manrou stood up, pulling Gao Shuai.

“Manrou, what’s the rush, the scoring hasn’t even started!”

Gao Shuai then came to his senses and stopped clapping.

“Do you think it’s necessary?”

Li Manrou felt like her heart was being twisted, having clearly heard Teacher Gao shouting about giving a perfect score, and she didn’t dare to wait any longer to avoid feeling worse.

Gao Shuai dejectedly stood up, “It’s okay, next time! She can’t always be proud, we’ll surpass her one day! At the very least, Zhao Qingfeng isn’t as rich as me, that’s a solid fact, don’t take it too hard!”

Unfortunately.

The two were seated in the middle, and with everyone standing and applauding, they couldn’t make their way out for a long time.

And just as they finally squeezed through the crowd, the scores were announced on stage.

After consultation among the judges, they unanimously gave a perfect score of one hundred!

This was the highest score ever given in any evening or performance event since the establishment of Ji Province University.

Not only was Teacher Gao excited, but the other judges were also full of praise.

They now deeply felt that letting Shen Lingyao be the image spokesperson for Ji Province University was not an exaggeration, and even for future inter-collegiate or other activities, this song would surely make a big impact, deserving of the full score.

“I announce, the singing category of tonight’s event is officially over, Shen Lingyao, a student from the 2001 Financial Management class, has won first place with a high score of one hundred! Let’s congratulate her once again with the warmest applause!”
