Chapter 50 School
the next day.
The morning sun shines on Kyoto International Airport.
Jiang Bai dragged his suitcase and boarded a flight to Shanghai.
Before the plane takes off.
He took out his phone and opened WeChat.
He sent a message to Xiao Liu, the assistant who had been very caring towards him these past few days, and to Yu Zheng, the newly added chatty director.
Jiang Bai: "Brother Liu, Director Yu, I'm going back to school."
Jiang Bai: "See you on National Day."
The reply came almost instantly.
Xiao Liu: "Oh, Miss Jiang, have a safe trip! Let me know when you arrive safely!"
Yu Zheng: "It's good that you're back. Take some time to relax and get your skin healthy. Remember! You are Zhang Yan! You are the most beautiful! Don't get tanned! See you on set during the National Day holiday!"
Jiang Bai's lips twitched as he looked at Yu Zheng's screen full of exclamation marks.
This director is truly obsessed.
Shut down.
take off.
Sitting on the plane, looking at the clouds outside the window, Jiang Bai was in a great mood.
This trip to Kyoto was absolutely amazing!
He received a salary of 1.2 million for "Beauty's Rival in Palace" and an additional 1 million as a system reward.
"The Voice of China" won a prize of 100,000 yuan plus a dance skill.
"Life is truly as lonely as snow."
Jiang Bai put on an eye mask and took a nice nap.
……
Three hours later.
Shanghai, Room 404 of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Today is Sunday.
For college students, Sunday mornings are for "zombie resurrection" in bed.
The curtains in the dormitory were tightly drawn, making it as dark as a cave.
The air was filled with a smell unique to male dormitories, a mixture of instant noodles, foot odor, and hormones.
"Snoring...snoring..."
Gu Dapeng's snoring was very rhythmic.
Su Ze dangled his legs over the bed railing, sleeping in a seductive pose.
Lin Le hugged his laptop bag, drooling.
Just then.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open.
A ray of sunlight followed a handsome figure as he walked in.
"My sons!"
"Daddy's home!"
Jiang Bai threw his suitcase on the ground and shouted.
That shout had the effect of an alarm clock.
The three "corpses" on the bed suddenly came back to life.
"Holy crap? An earthquake?"
"Who? Who's your father?"
"The third son?!"
Su Ze rubbed his sleepy eyes, poked his head out from the top bunk, and looked shocked when he saw who it was:
"So you actually know how to come back, huh?"
"Three days! A full three days!"
"Do you know how I spent those three days? The instructor's eyes practically pierced me!"
Gu Dapeng also sat up, sniffing:
"etc……"
"I think I smell... meat?"
Jiang Bai chuckled and put the bags he was carrying on the table.
"Alright, stop howling."
"Dad's away on a business trip, how could he forget about you unfilial children?"
"Come on, come on, Kyoto specialty, Quanjude roast duck!"
"It's still warm!"
"Come down and eat quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold!"
"And a box of Daoxiangcun pastries for each person!"
Upon hearing the words "roast duck," the trio, who had just looked like resentful women, instantly sprang from their beds.
Regardless of whether they were wearing pants or not, they went straight to the table.
"Godfather!"
"Third brother, you are my godfather!"
"It smells so good! I've been craving this for so long!"
Several people grabbed duck rolls and stuffed them into their mouths like starving ghosts.
While eating, Su Ze asked indistinctly:
"Hey, third brother, let's get serious."
"What have you been doing these past few days?"
"Such a secretive move, and he even took three days off. Did he go to meet some rich young lady?"
"Or perhaps..." Lin Le pushed up his glasses, his eyes sharp, "you went to Kyoto to do some shady big business?"
Jiang Bai took a sip of water, leaned back in his chair, and looked completely nonchalant.
"It's nothing."
"I just went to make some money."
"Make money?" Su Ze was skeptical. "What kind of money can you make? Working on a construction site carrying bricks?"
Jiang Bai held up one finger and shook it:
"shallow."
"I make a living through my talent."
"This trip has brought in this amount of money."
He held up one finger.
"One thousand?" Gu Dapeng asked.
Jiang Bai shook his head.
"Ten thousand?" Lin Le asked.
Jiang Bai continued to shake his head.
"It can't be 100,000, can it?" Su Ze's eyes widened.
Jiang Bai sighed, giving him a look that said, "You guys have never seen anything like this before."
One million.
"puff--"
Su Ze sprayed the duck meat in his mouth all over Gu Dapeng's face.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
"How much? One million?"
"Third brother, do you have a fever? Or are you still sleepy?"
"Did you rob an armored truck? Or did you sell your kidneys?"
The trio burst into laughter, clearly taking it as Jiang Bai bragging.
One million?
A college freshman who can earn a million yuan by wandering around for three days?
Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!
Jiang Bai didn't explain, he just shrugged helplessly:
"real."
"But..."
At this point, Jiang Bai's expression turned somewhat sorrowful:
"We're going to have to work overtime during the National Day holiday."
"Sigh, missing the holiday feels like losing a billion dollars."
"I'm desperate too."
"Hahahahaha!"
The laughter in the dormitory grew even louder.
"Okay, okay, you made a million."
"Was that 10 billion yuan loss used to invest in the Pacific Ocean extension project?"
"Third brother, your bragging skills have really improved! You should quit acting and become a comedian!"
Jiang Bai looked at his three roommates laughing so hard they were doubled over, and sighed silently.
People laugh at my madness, but I laugh at their ignorance.
Nobody believes me when I tell the truth.
These days, it's so hard to be an honest person.
......
Just as the students in dormitory 404 were making a fuss over roast duck and the "one million" joke.
Kyoto, a thousand miles away.
The scene at the district competition.
The atmosphere today is a bit awkward.
After several rounds of fierce competition, the top three have finally emerged.
A folk guitarist, a loud voice singing high notes, and a girl group trainee who dances energetically.
In previous years, these three prospects would be considered quite good.
But today.
The five judges on the panel looked at the top three standing on the stage. Although they had professional smiles on their faces, their eyes revealed an undisguised disappointment.
Congratulations!
The bald judge picked up the microphone, his tone somewhat dry:
"I hope you can represent our Kyoto region and achieve good results in the national competition."
The applause was sparse.
Even the audience felt it was lacking.
"this one?"
"I don't think she's even half as good as that girl who sang 'Love You' yesterday."
"Yeah, where's Jiang Bai? Why didn't he come?"
"I heard he withdrew from the competition, that's such a pity."
After the match.
Judges' lounge.
The atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Long-haired music critic Lao Zhang lit a cigarette and took a deep breath:
"well……"
"Boring."
"This is really boring."
"Looking at these top three, all I can think about is Jiang Bai from yesterday."
"That's the true mark of a champion!"
"Whether it's appearance, singing ability, or typhoon strength, all three combined can't beat one of them!"
Another female judge sighed:
"Who can argue with that?"
"Without a promising young player, the whole competition felt much less exciting."
"If these three promising players are sent to the national competition, they'll probably be eliminated in the first round."
"What a pity about Jiang Bai's face, and that song 'Love You'."
"If she can go, our Kyoto division will definitely make a big splash this year."
The bald judge sat to one side, holding a thermos cup, and remained silent.
But his shiny bald head seemed to be covered with the words "unresolved resentment".
pity.
What a damn shame!
After serving as a judge for so many years, he finally encountered a genius who caught his eye and even made him feel that he could save the Chinese music scene.
So they went back to school?
What kind of mess is this?!
This feeling is like watching a piece of rough jade fall into a sewer and being unable to retrieve it!
