Chapter 135: Joining the Art Department

Yu Youwei: "Pi Yan, the school is organizing a Welcome Gala at the beginning of next month. The Minister really hopes you will join the Art Department and perform a program on stage."

Shen Yan: "No, there are so many talented people in the school Dance Club, why does it have to be me?"

Yu Youwei: "You are famous, and you dance so well. With you joining the Art Department, we can attract more talent to join in the future."

Shen Yan: "I'm not going. The Student Union has a mountain of trivial matters."

Yu Youwei: "The Minister said you can just join in name only; you don't have to do anything. Plus, with the Student Union's title, you'll have an excuse for skipping class or asking for leave."

This statement was actually somewhat tempting.

Even with Lin Yang helping to take attendance, there were inevitably times when he fell short. Every time he skipped class, it was like repeatedly jumping on a teacher's "minefield." If it happened too often, he would inevitably receive "special attention."

If he ran into a teacher whose heart was smaller than a needle's eye, they might just mark him as failing the course.

It's just performing a program, what's the big deal? Joining is joining.

Shen Yan: "Then let's get this straight: I won't handle any of the miscellaneous stuff."

Yu Youwei promised repeatedly, saying he could quit the department at any time if it didn't work out, and then said the department was having a meeting at seven in the evening and asked Shen Yan to go and show his face; Shen Yan agreed.

Inside a teaching building at Hangzhou University.

It was during the break between classes. Upon receiving a definitive reply, Yu Youwei couldn't help but shout "yes," her excitement overflowing.

Luo Qiqi understood instantly and said with a smile: "How about that? I told you this guy Shen Yan never gets up early without a profit. If you want to move him, there's no chance without some actual benefits."

"You really have a way, Qiqi, coming up with such a brilliant move." A bright luster shone in Yu Youwei's eyes.

Honestly, she was very much looking forward to seeing Shen Yan standing on stage, enveloped by the spotlights, showing his most excellent side to everyone to his heart's content.

At that time, the whole venue would scream and cheer for Shen Yan.

Such a scene would surely be heart-stirring.

Hearing this, Chen Shanni's eyes rippled. She, who originally had no interest in these things, broke her own precedent and asked Yu Youwei to help her get an admission ticket, preferably with a seat near the front.

Yu Youwei didn't overthink it and made an "OK" gesture.

Entering mid-November, the weather in Hangzhou gradually began to change, and the characteristic of a large temperature difference between day and night became increasingly obvious. During the day, the sun was bright and the temperature was pleasant, perhaps reaching over twenty degrees, and most people wore light clothing.

However, once night fell, it was as if nature had suddenly changed its face; the temperature plummeted, and the cold night wind rushed toward them.

Riding on the road to the teaching building, Shen Yan wrapped his green jacket tighter around himself and couldn't help but shiver.

Just at this moment, a familiar figure riding a bicycle appeared in his line of sight, wearing a pink hoodie, paired with black leggings, a pair of black and white checkered sneakers on her feet, and her slightly curled hair swaying gently in the wind.

Who else could it be but Wu Yue'er?

Shen Yan twisted his hand, caught up, whistled first, lifted his chin, and said in a flippant tone: "Beauty, do you want your brother to take you out for a ride?"

It must be said that the posture he displayed at this very moment was exactly the same as those sleazy, good-for-nothing street punks!

A boy riding a bicycle nearby couldn't help but glance at Shen Yan, thinking this person must be sick in the head, actually hitting on girls at Hangzhou University, and even whistling.

Anyone with a remotely normal brain would never agree.

Wu Yue'er was just about to get angry, but when she saw Shen Yan's appearance, she immediately giggled and said: "Okay, okay! Brother, take me out for a ride, drink some wine, and once we've had our fill of fun, this little sister can let you do whatever you want."

The next moment, with a "bang" sound.

The boy riding the bicycle wasn't paying attention and crashed straight into a large tree. Caught off guard, both he and the bike flew out, and he finally landed heavily on the ground in a very disheveled and extremely awkward posture, landing right on his backside.

"Ouch, ouch!" He wailed repeatedly over there.

The overturned bicycle lay on its side on the ground, its wheels still spinning "tada-tada," as if telling the story of the thrilling accident that had just occurred.

Wu Yue'er was dumbfounded at first, then stuck out her tongue cutely, as if to say it had nothing to do with her.

After Shen Yan realized what happened, he quickly got off his bike to help the boy up and asked: "Classmate, are you alright?"

The boy rubbed his butt and said it was fine, that he was thick-skinned and could hold up, then scanned the two of them.

"So you two know each other, I thought as much."

Shen Yan gave a sheepish smile and said it was just a joke, not expecting to accidentally hurt someone. The boy waved his hand magnanimously, saying it was his own carelessness and no fault of others.

After the boy left, Shen Yan asked Wu Yue'er why she wasn't holed up at home at night, surely not here to study? Wu Yue'er gave him a pretty eye-roll and said she was going to the Dance Club to practice dancing.

Shen Yan wasn't surprised by this, but was just curious how someone who couldn't tell left from right could practice dancing.

Wu Yue'er hummed haughtily, "Isn't it enough to just practice by following someone else's movements? I don't need to listen to commands and think."

"By the way, I heard you're planning to join the Art Department and perform a program at the Welcome Gala?"

Shen Yan nodded slightly, and Wu Yue'er immediately became interested, suggesting: "How about the two of us combine our skills? It will definitely rock the whole venue."

Shen Yan didn't really care, he just wasn't sure what Wu Yue'er's level was.

After all, the Welcome Gala was an event organized by the school's Art Department, and there were countless participants; without some real ability, she probably wouldn't even pass the audition phase.

The Art Department Minister was counting on him to show his skills at the Welcome Gala and make a name for the Art Department. If he didn't even pass the preliminary selection, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

Wu Yue'er said triumphantly that she had practiced many pop songs in the Dance Club, and the one she danced best was "Gee" released by Girls' Generation, which was also the theme song for QQ Speed.

"Then let's try it first, if it really doesn't work, I'll just kick you out," Shen Yan said indifferently.

Wu Yue'er's cherry lips pouted slightly, and a trace of resentment appeared in her eyes.

However, when the image of performing on stage with Shen Yan appeared in her mind, a surge of excitement welled up in her heart. She felt as if she could already hear the tide-like enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the deafening shouts and cheers echoing throughout the entire venue.

At this moment, Wu Yue'er's motivation was fully maxed out, and she was determined to go all out, put in the effort for this upcoming performance, and leave herself with a beautiful memory.

Before long, Shen Yan arrived at the conference room on the top floor of the Economic College. The layout inside was clear at a glance: an emerald-green oval table sat in the center, with more than thirty men and women sitting around it.

Yu Youwei had joined the school's Art Department. It was reported that the Art Department had one female Minister and two Vice Ministers. Currently, the main seat was still vacant, and the boys sitting on the left and right sides were undoubtedly the Vice Ministers.

Shen Yan didn't know a single one of them. Seeing Yu Youwei waving to say hello below, he walked straight over.

However, Shen Yan was stunned the moment he sat down, simply because the boy sitting to his left was precisely the one who had just crashed into the tree.
