Chapter 20 The secret that must never be told
Yu Caiwei now put on makeup and a white dress. She stood there, as sacred and inviolable as a noble goddess. Everyone in the venue was stunned for a moment.
Although Ye Zhiqiu felt confused, he still said: "Oh, okay."
Everyone just stared blankly as Ye Zhiqiu followed Yu Caiwei into her exclusive dressing room. Li Hongfei was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
Entering the dressing room, Yu Caiwei continued to touch up her makeup, and only then did Ye Zhiqiu realize that someone else was there.
Professor Liu Minkang was sitting on the sofa. When he saw Ye Zhiqiu, he smiled and said, "How about it? It's about to perform. Are you nervous?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "I just sang a random song to make up the numbers. Why are you nervous?"
"You have to be nervous because it's a big star like Cai Wei who performs in the finale, right?"
The two of them had met each other quite a lot in Professor Liu Minkang's office recently, and they had gradually started to call each other by their names.
"I won't be nervous." Yu Caiwei's expression was calm and her tone was as cold as ever.
Good for you!
Ye Zhiqiu expressed his admiration. This girl seems to have a really big heart. Last time she was molested by two drunk men outside the "July" bar, she didn't even see a trace of panic.
Liu Minkang laughed and said: "Just don't be nervous and perform at a normal level. To be honest, I have high expectations for your show tonight."
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's puzzled expression, Liu Minkang explained: "As a key local university, Huahai University of Communication has many outstanding alumni and leaders in various fields coming to the graduation party today."
"The school attaches great importance to it. This is also a good opportunity to showcase the school's teaching strength and student style."
"I'm not saying this to put pressure on you, but among the students' performances tonight, except for Weiwei, I think your performance is of a very high level."
Liu Minkang warned: "Perform well, this is also a personal opportunity for you."
After saying this, Ye Zhiqiu understood. No wonder Huahai University of Communication attaches so much importance to it. After all, the quality of student programs is also related to the reputation of the school.
After chatting for a while again, Ye Zhiqiu accidentally saw the familiar interface on the mobile phone screen on the table beside him, and he couldn't help blurting out these two words in shock.
""Zhu Xian"?"
Yu Caiwei, who had just finished putting on makeup, turned around and asked, "Do you also read this book?"
"I..." Before Ye Zhiqiu had time to speak, Yu Caiwei followed up: "This author stopped updating today. It's too abominable. I have already issued a reminder ticket."
"..."
Ye Zhiqiu swallowed back what he was about to say.
Speaking of "Zhu Xian", Yu Caiwei seemed to get interested and continued to complain: "This author is so lazy. He only updated 4,000 words yesterday, and he only asked for leave today when it was time to update."
"From my perspective, it's just an excuse to be lazy. Otherwise, why didn't you invite me a day in advance?"
"dont you agree?"
Facing Yu Caiwei's slightly shining eyes as if seeking recognition, Ye Zhiqiu felt bitter in his heart.
Can I say yes? That’s not a slap in the face!
Ye Zhiqiu laughed a few times and tried to argue: "I don't think so. This is the first time the author has stopped updating."
"Have you noticed that although his update volume is unstable, the average number of words he updates every day is still more than most authors..."
"That's not true." Yu Caiwei pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "I think it's unreliable that he chose such a frivolous pen name. He is indeed a person who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets."
"I@#¥%%¥..."
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. This girl seemed to have a deep resentment towards the author. It was better not to let her know that she was the author of "Zhu Xian".
Listening to the lively discussion between the two young people, Liu Minkang also curiously glanced at the screen of his mobile phone.
"Huh?" Liu Minkang exclaimed, picking up his cell phone to read the novel's introduction in detail.
"The heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs..." Liu Minkang's eyes brightened and he exclaimed: "The short cross is extremely concise, but it tells the truth."
"It's not easy for an author to be able to write such a sentence."
Yu Caiwei asked curiously: "What does this sentence mean?"
The makeup artist on the side also looked at Liu Minkang curiously.
Liu Minkang's foundation in Chinese studies was obviously not low. He explained with a smile: "Cudi dogs are dogs that were tied with straw during ancient sacrifices."
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as rotten dogs." The popular understanding of this sentence is that heaven and earth treat all things the same, and they are not good to anyone, nor bad to anyone, and everything develops naturally."
"This sentence implies the idea of 'Tao follows nature', so I say this author is not simple."
"He should be an experienced author."
The last sentence was asked by Liu Minkang to Yu Caiwei.
"It's not good to anyone, and it's not bad to anyone..." Yu Caiwei repeated this sentence and muttered: "It seems like this is really the case, otherwise there would be no way that the girl the protagonist of the novel liked from the beginning would fall in love with someone else."
"The name of this author...look."
Liu Minkang squinted and looked at the place pointed by Yu Caiwei with great interest. When he saw the author's name clearly, he was stunned.
"Heart Arsonist...is this the author's pen name?"
Liu Minkang's eyes clearly showed that he was not confident, and he looked at Yu Caiwei and Ye Zhiqiu.
Yu Caiwei nodded affirmatively, while Ye Zhiqiu... had a weird expression on his face.
"This..." Professor Liu Minkang's worldview seemed to have been greatly shocked. It took him a while to recover, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I can't understand it. You young people really can't understand it."
Yu Caiwei snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Grandpa, you may be right."
"The way I see it, even if this author has experience, he must be a wretched uncle."
"..." For the first time, Ye Zhiqiu regretted the random pen name he chose.
At this time, outside the stage, the party was about to begin, and the people in the first row of leadership seats had already taken their seats.
Many reporters at the scene recognized the identities of the people in the center of the leadership table, and even aimed their cameras and pressed the shutter as hard as they could.
Chen Ping, mayor of Huahai City, Lu Zhifeng, president of Huahai University of Communication... Needless to say, the identities of these two heavyweight leaders are the two middle-aged men who excited many media reporters the most.
Li Wenrui, the boss of Huahai Entertainment!
Li Dapeng, owner of Yinghong Entertainment!
Insiders may know their other identities. Li Wenrui is Yu Caiwei's biological uncle, and Yu Caiwei signed a contract with Huahai Entertainment.
Li Dapeng is the father of the second generation ancestor Li Hongfei.
Although both of them have a surname of Li and both run entertainment companies, their relationship is not only bad, the two companies can even be said to be sworn enemies.
This is why media reporters are so excited.
It's great to be a bitter rival! It's such a huge occasion, it would be better if we could make some news.
Before the game was about to start, Mayor Chen asked with a smile: "Lao Lu, it's the graduation party of Communication University again."
