1994: From a young man from a small town to a second-generation resident of Shanghai

A study room in the School of Economics and Finance.

All the class officers from the '94 Finance class were here, except for Chen Yong.

"Have you contacted the class monitor?"

"I got in touch with him, and he said he'd be here soon."

Zhang Xiting's pretty face remained calm. "Isn't he at school? More than twenty minutes have passed."

Despite Zhang Xiting's good looks, she is very serious and meticulous when working with others.

"Let's wait a little longer, it won't make a difference," Ye Linghuan said, glancing at Zhang Xiting.

Xu Shijie and Zhu Tianliang noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Just then, the door opened, and Chen Yong rushed in. "I'm here. Sorry I'm a little late."

"Zhang Xiting, can you go and hold the meeting for me?"

"It's open. Where did you go?" Zhang Xiting asked, looking at him with her beautiful eyes.

"I went to Pudong, and when I received a call from Zhu Tianliang, I rushed back."

Everyone looked at him strangely, originally assuming Chen Yong was going out on a date with his girlfriend. They hadn't expected him to be going to Pudong.

Someone in the class discovered that Chen Yong knew a beautiful girl from the neighboring university, whose looks were in no way inferior to the two beauties of the college.

The news has already spread.

"Stop pretending, class monitor. You must have gone on a date with someone at Huazhong Normal University across the street! Someone saw you walking a girl back to school last time."

"I'm not lying to you. Why don't you believe me?" Chen Yong looked wronged. "That girl from Huazhong Normal University is my high school classmate. Last time, there was a large class reunion, and I saw her off when she left. But there were conditions."

Xu Shijie and Zhu Tianliang wanted to continue investigating, but Chen Yong said seriously:

"alright--"

"I'm already late, let's get down to business."

Zhang Xiting's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at Ye Linghuan's expression, but seeing nothing, she put her thoughts aside and said, "Today I went to a meeting in place of the class monitor. The college requires our class to prepare a program for the upcoming National Day celebrations. There can be no solo performances or singing; most people must participate. If someone wants to participate alone, they can sign up for an individual program. The class program is mandatory; at least ten people must participate."

Chen Yong found the National Day gala quite interesting.

There were no National Day cultural performances when Chen Yong was in college. Whenever he had a holiday, he would go to other places to have fun.

It would be even better if I had a girlfriend during my freshman year of college on National Day.

Champagne can be opened that very evening.

"Do you guys have any ideas? National Day program? It's September 15th now, only 15 days until National Day. I think we should call the whole class together to discuss it."

"Can,"

"agree."

"agree."

…………

After class in the afternoon, Chen Yong stopped everyone, "Don't rush to eat yet, it will take half an hour."

Some people were already ready to grab their food, but were stopped again, which made them slightly annoyed.

Out of respect for the class monitor, I stayed.

"The college wants our class to put on a performance for National Day, and the performance needs to involve at least ten people. We need to discuss with everyone what kind of performance we should put on. If the performance is good, it will give our class extra points, and the college will give priority to considering our class for any good opportunities in the future."

Individuals can sign up if they want to participate. If you're selected as an outstanding participant, it will also give our class extra points, so everyone should participate actively! Those with talents should take this opportunity to showcase them and get noticed by their crushes.

The commotion is about to begin.

Someone in the class suggested singing and then finding a few backup dancers to make a total of ten people.

This suggestion sounds too perfunctory. It completely depends on the singer's skill level. If you can't find a good singer, it's like giving up on the group project.

Even if other students wanted to try, there was nothing they could do.

The singing option was rejected; "Those who want to sing can sign up for the individual project."

"Does the Youth League branch secretary have any ideas?"

Zhang Xiting participated in many school activities during high school and has a wealth of experience. Chen Yong, on the other hand, had little experience in both high school years and didn't participate in many activities in college, only winning a campus singing competition where he was named one of the top ten singers in the entire school.

Once the top ten singers have met the singing standards, it's all about popularity.

Chen Yong's singing skills are definitely top-notch; he can sing both high and low notes, and he especially likes to sing Jay Chou's songs.

If he didn't want to be a star, with the vast repertoire of songs in his head, he could easily become a superstar of this era.

The main problem is that the arts and culture field has too low a ceiling!

Even a superstar's net worth is only around 10 billion, maybe not even that. At this point, the country doesn't need someone who can sing well; it needs business talent who can make money, and technological talent who can invent things.

However, it's okay to have fun during university.

Zhang Xiting said, "Why don't we put together a stage play? That way, more people will participate, and we won't just focus on one student's performance. Even if there are minor mistakes, it won't affect the overall viewing experience."

The idea of ​​a stage play received a lot of support from students, mainly because it has a low barrier to entry, whereas singing and dancing both require certain skills.

As for writing scripts, there are many talented men and women in the class who can handle it. With so many people, researching a script is very simple.

Students in the 1990s all had some literary dreams, and there were quite a few literary youths.

The corny way of expressing love, like writing love letters, still exists.

Zhang Xiting's proposal received support from the majority of people.

Chen Yong then announced that the National Day gala would feature a stage play.

Next, we divided into scriptwriting, acting, and props teams.

There are three people in the screenwriting team. Chen Yong joined the screenwriting team and automatically became the team leader. Zhang Xiting also joined the screenwriting team, and Chen Yong made her the deputy team leader.

Zhang Xiting rolled her eyes at him. "You want me to do your work again?"

She's harboring resentment; Chen Yong always pushes the work onto her while he goes out to have fun.

The leader of the acting group is Ye Linghuan. It is said that she studied acting before high school and was preparing to take the art exam, but she changed her mind in high school.

To be able to get into Fudan University like this, I have to say, they are very capable.

The props were handled by Xu Shijie and Zhu Tianliang.

"The class program is finalized, and there are also individual programs. I hope everyone will participate as much as possible. Even those who participated in the class program can also put on an individual program. If it's rated as excellent, it can also add points to the class."

Liu Cong chimed in from below, "Class monitor, I think you're tall and handsome, you could perform dances or sing."

"That's right, class monitor, you need to set a good example!"

"The class monitor is going to sing karaoke."

"The class monitor is going to sing karaoke."

Once the rhythm picked up, Chen Yong couldn't refuse.

Liu Cong may be a straightforward person, but some people want to see him make a fool of himself!

Zhang Xiting watched as Chen Yong was being helped up by everyone, and she smirked to herself.

So you've been bullying people and always trying to shirk responsibility, now you're going to get what's coming to you.

Chen Yong smiled and said, "I have no problem singing, but you should at least give me two performances."

Singing a song is not difficult for him. On National Day, he wrote the lyrics himself and used the melody of "Misplaced Time and Space".

It will definitely win over their ears.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Yong agreed so readily! Zhang Xiting was a little disappointed that she didn't see Chen Yong get the short end of the stick. But what song would he sing? She had never heard him sing before.
