Chapter 92 : Mr. comes to pick up Qianqian

As Mu Qianqian began to sing, the chaos in the audience instantly fell silent.

In the vast venue, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the pure white figure on stage, and all attention was drawn to her.

Her voice was ethereal and beautiful…

Fu Sichan watched as Mu Qianqian shone brightly on stage, feeling a surge of pride.

This was the little girl he had raised.

The once timid and inconspicuous ugly duckling had finally transformed into a swan that captivated everyone’s attention.

Ye Wanqing’s face was flushed with excitement, wanting to stand up and cheer for Qianqian!

This was her best friend! Her talent was incredible!

Her singing was even better than that of some professional singers; this was a gift from heaven!

Next to her, Lu Yunbai was equally stirred, his gaze fixed on Mu Qianqian.

Few people knew that before marrying into the Lu family, Mrs. Lu had anonymously released several albums.

The girl on stage possessed a voice as exceptional as her mother’s.

Could she really be the one?

“This wretch… why does she always go against me?” Gu Qingyu ground her teeth in anger.

The judges, who had been drowsy, suddenly perked up upon seeing Mu Qianqian on stage.

Mu Qianqian’s score was bound to be high!

“Yunxiang, think of a way to ensure this wretch doesn’t outshine me,” Gu Qingyu urged.

Lu Yunxiang was too preoccupied to handle Gu Qingyu’s demands.

A mere school beauty contest was insignificant compared to the crisis she was about to face!

If Lu Yunbai recognized Mu Qianqian and took her back to the Lu family, there would be no place for her in the Lu household!

“Yunxiang, you need to come up with a solution quickly.”

“Stop pushing me!”

Lu Yunxiang was anxious and frustrated, desperately needing a breakthrough. She growled in response.

Gu Qingyu was taken aback. “Yunxiang, what’s wrong with you?”

She couldn’t understand why the usually gentle Lu Yunxiang had suddenly become so irritable.

Was Lu Yunxiang even angrier than she was?

Why was that?

Lu Yunxiang, despite her inner turmoil and panic, still had to apologize to Gu Qingyu.

“Sorry, Qingyu, I’m just too worried about your ranking. Don’t rush, her score isn’t out yet. There’s still room for change.”

If she were to be kicked out of the Lu family in the future, she would still need to rely on Gu Qingyu and couldn’t afford to openly clash with her now.

Fortunately, Gu Qingyu was quite easy to appease.

“I know you’re doing this for my sake. I don’t blame you.”

“Let’s figure out a solution together.”

Gu Qingyu privately messaged the judges many times, asking them to discuss lowering Mu Qianqian’s score.

When Mu Qianqian’s performance concluded, the judges scored her.

The result was surprising to everyone.

“Is this score really so low? An average of only seventy? Are these judges blind or what?”

“Yeah, Gu Qingyu hit several wrong notes and still got a high score of ninety. Mu Qianqian is more beautiful and sings even better, yet she only gets seventy?”

“I think giving Mu Qianqian a perfect score would be justified!”

“This is blatant rigging! Definitely rigged!”

The man sitting on the second floor, his handsome face darkened immediately.

“Mr. Fu, you see…”

Fu Sichan spoke with a cold, commanding tone.

“Get the event organizers here.”

“Yes, sir!”

As soon as the event organizers heard Fu Sichan’s name, they dared not refuse and hurriedly arrived.

“Mr. Fu, we weren’t aware of your presence. If there’s anything we’ve done inadequately, please forgive us.”

Fu Sichan sat in a single sofa with his back to them.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his slender fingers held a glowing ember.

He remained silent, making the organizers increasingly nervous.

“Mr. Fu, is there something wrong? I can talk to them…”

At this level of an event organizer, they had no right to speak directly with Fu Sichan.

Assistant Wang, standing in for his boss, smiled and said.

“Everyone saw the performance of the contestant earlier. If her score was deliberately lowered because she doesn’t have strong backing, then there’s no point in holding this event.”

The organizers shivered, cold sweat running down their backs.

Though it seemed like a simple school beauty contest, it involved several major investors from Bei City and was related to opportunities in the entertainment industry…

If this event were canceled, they might even lose their jobs.

“Yes, yes, it seems the judges made a mistake with the scores. I’ll make sure to tell them to correct it and give the proper score.”

“Leave now.”

……

Soon, the judges received the news and promptly changed their stance.

The host came on stage to apologize, “Sorry, there was an issue with the judges’ score calculation earlier. The final score for Mu Qianqian is not seventy, but ninety-nine!”

“Let’s all congratulate Mu Qianqian for winning first place in this school beauty contest!”

The audience erupted in applause.

“I knew it! How could Mu Qianqian’s performance be only seventy?”

“Her score is higher than Gu Qingyu’s. Amazing! She won against all the capital with her own strength!”

“I declare that Mu Qianqian will be my goddess from now on! Our only school beauty at Finance University!”

Mu Qianqian successfully won the title of school beauty at Finance University.

That day, her photos and videos of her singing went viral on the Financial University forum, with the highest click rate ever!

Not only at Financel University, but her fame also spread rapidly among students at other universities.

After the award ceremony, as Mu Qianqian stepped off the stage, Li Siyu rushed over to congratulate her.

“Qianqian, congratulations! I knew you could do it!”

Mu Qianqian’s lips curled into a slight smile, clearly in high spirits.

“That’s great. I’ve won a prize of twenty thousand yuan.”

Now, she could help the Mr. alleviate the pressure of supporting the family.

Li Siyu teased, “With such a huge honor, you seem more concerned about that little prize money.”

Fang Yanran proudly said, “Yes, Qianqian, you don’t even know. Starting today, your name will spread throughout the university circles in Bei City.”

Mu Qianqian smiled dismissively.

“Titles like ‘school beauty’ are just empty names. The money in my hand is real.”

“Haha, Qianqian, if the other contestants heard you say this, they’d probably be infuriated.”

Others fight desperately for fame, but to Mu Qianqian, it’s worth less than twenty thousand yuan.

This girl is truly money-minded.

“Qianqian, will you be participating in other school beauty contests across Bei City in the future?”

Mu Qianqian shook her head. “I haven’t decided yet.”

Just then, her phone rang.

Mu Qianqian stepped aside to answer the call, and a familiar, deep voice she had been longing to hear came through.

“Is the competition over?”

Mu Qianqian’s eyes lit up as she replied, “Yes, it just finished. Mr. you called right after.”

“Come to the school gate. I’ll take you home.”

Mu Qianqian was stunned for a few seconds before realizing.

“Mr. you’re back from your business trip? That was quick.”

Wasn’t he supposed to be abroad for a few more days before coming back?

She hadn’t expected him to return so soon.

At this moment, Mu Qianqian still thought that Fu Sichan was away on business and wouldn’t be able to attend her competition.

Fu Sichan rubbed his forehead in helplessness and had to be straightforward with her “Silly girl, I watched your performance. You did very well.”
