Chapter 650: Welcome Night’s Highlight and Big Shots

The venue was all set up the day before Welcome Night. The Student Union was up to their ears in work organizing the rehearsal. Shen Qianzi, who was very popular in showbiz with her genius persona, had many female fans. The university had especially arranged an individual segment for her this time with the intention of promoting her.

“I don’t understand why only Shen Qianzi has an individual segment when Gu Mang is much more popular than her.” No starlets could hold a candle to Gu Mang in the looks department.

“No idea. How could we possibly understand the school’s arrangement?”

“You guys never saw how Gu Mang ranked first during military training. In my opinion, she’s more qualified to represent our university.”

“Yeah, the military training documentary will probably be broadcasted on national day.”

“Everyone was saying that she’ll be edited out of the documentary at first, but seeing how things turned out, the news station will probably want to make her the solo highlight. She’s incredible!”

“Maybe the university didn’t arrange a segment for her because she didn’t want to perform on stage?”

These students were no fools, having managed to get into Capital University. They knew that Gu Mang had had no intention of participating in the competition during the military training in the first place. Had it not been for Tang Xiaoxiao’s injury, they might never have seen how capable a female could be against Red Scorpion’s male cadets. However, it appeared that Gu Mang disliked participating in such big-scale events.

“Would anyone want to give up this chance to become famous, though?”

Yes, they would. Yu Mufeng pressed his lips together when he passed by the group of Student Union members who were gossiping softly among themselves as they watched Shen Qianzi rehearse on stage. He turned his head slightly to look at the vice president of the student union. “Have you arranged the seats for the school leaders?”

“Yes. Master Bi and the CEO of the He Corporation will be seated in the middle.” The vice president nodded. The invited guests were even more prominent than those of last year, so their seats had to be arranged properly. Apart from the two aforementioned guests, the other guests’ seating arrangements were more flexible.

Yu Mufeng knew, though, that those two would not be the only big shots who would appear tomorrow. It was just a matter of whether they were going to show their faces.

…

The entire university was particularly lively on the day of the event. Gu Mang had classes for the entire afternoon and by the time her classes ended, it was already seven in the evening. Welcome Night started at 8PM sharp, so students were already flocking to the venue. As she walked out of the academic building, she shoved an earbud into her ear and made a phone call, asking, “Where are you?”

She looked to her right upon receiving an answer. There was a road on the right side of the academic building. Lu Chengzhou and Qin Fang were currently making their way over from the opposite side. She ended the call and put her phone into her pocket before walking straight over to them.

“Sis-in-law.” Qin Fang greeted her with an ingratiating smile.

Lu Chengzhou took her backpack from her and slung it over his shoulder before poking a straw into the cup of milk tea he had been holding and handing it over to her.

She lifted an eyebrow and asked him as she took the drink, “Room temperature?”

“Of course.” He looked at her as she quietly drank the milk tea.

The student population was already seated according to their classes by the time they arrived at the bustling but somewhat stuffy venue. Students wearing gowns and costumes were constantly snaking through the crowd. The trio sat down in a corner.

Qin Fang had already made his inquiries. Although Gu Mang would not be performing tonight, she had planned the medical school’s performance. He considered it her performance nonetheless, so he was very interested in it.

When the party was about to start, Master Bi, He Yidu, and the other invited guests finally arrived and, one by one, took their seats in the front row. A few minutes after that, all the lights on the stage went out. The noise level gradually decreased as the audience dropped their voices to whispers.

“The medical school’s performance will definitely be the highlight of tonight.”

“Why? What makes you so sure?”

“They’re doing a group dance. From what I heard, their music was composed by Gu Mang. My roommate let me listen to it. The music was really amazing!”

“For real? No way!”

“Cross my heart. I even delivered something to my roommate at the dance studio. Not only is their music divine, their dance is all the more so! Just wait and see!”

The two girls were from other majors at the medical school, and were sitting right in front of Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang, so the trio could clearly hear everything the girls said. The other people sitting around them also became increasingly curious about the medical school’s performance.
