Chapter 112

In the concert hall, after a moment of silence, sparse applause rang out.

Regarding Su Meng’s words, some agreed, but some were dissatisfied.

Su Meng smiled and didn't continue.

He just bowed and prepared to walk off the stage.

Just then, a voice from the audience rang out.

"Wait a minute!"

Su Meng stopped subconsciously and looked toward the audience.

He saw an old man with gray hair standing up in the middle of the first row.

Hu Zhengyuan was startled and hurriedly whispered.

"Xiao Meng, this is Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng, the Dean of the Imperial Conservatory of Music."

Su Meng nodded slightly to show he understood, then said politely.

"Dean Da Qiao, is there anything else?"

He spoke politely, but in his heart, he was already prepared for a three-hundred-round battle.

Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng got up and walked onto the stage, his expression calm.

He looked at him and suddenly spoke.

"Today’s concert, for me personally, was a true audiovisual feast."

"These pieces are also rare masterpieces."

"From this, it can be seen that Mr. Su has deep attainments in music."

"Dean Da Qiao is too kind." Su Meng said modestly, but secretly he was alert.

Is this the legendary "calm on the surface, courtesy before force"?

But what he didn't expect was that Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng’s next sentence left him completely confused.

"Just now off stage, I communicated with several leaders of the academy."

"I want to represent the Imperial Conservatory of Music and formally invite Mr. Su Meng to serve as a guest lecturer for the Folk Music Department."

"I wonder what Mr. Su thinks?"

What? Su Meng was stunned.

When Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng got on stage earlier, he thought he was here to cause trouble.

After all, saying those things on this occasion today was almost a provocation to the Imperial Conservatory of Music.

But he didn't expect Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng to not mention that topic at all.

Instead, he invited him to be... a guest lecturer?

What is this all about?

Seeing him stunned, Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng didn't urge him, just waited quietly.

But the entire concert hall exploded.

Many students from the Folk Music Department jumped up in excitement and cheered loudly.

They didn't understand those complicated things.

They only knew that today’s concert made the Folk Music Department shine.

The folk music pieces Su Meng brought out, whether solo or ensemble, which one wasn't a masterpiece among masterpieces?

Not to mention that Su Meng had given them a few lessons a few days ago, and the techniques he displayed had long since convinced these young people.

Now the academy actually wants to hire Su Meng as a guest lecturer?

Dean, you understand me!

If you weren't old and ugly, I would have to marry you!

But Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng’s words made many students from other departments frown.

Especially the students from the Piano Department, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

This Su Meng personally crashed the Piano Department’s venue!

If he becomes a guest lecturer for the Folk Music Department, wouldn't the Folk Music Department suddenly rise up?

But they couldn't refute the Dean’s decision, so they could only remain silent.

"Su Meng... is going to be a teacher at the Imperial Conservatory of Music?"

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi swallowed, unable to believe her ears.

Boss Yang nodded expressionlessly and added.

"To be precise, a guest lecturer."

"Liu Liu Tianxian, pinch me, let me see if I’m dreaming..."

"Sister, I’ll do it!"

"Get lost!"

"Alright~~~" Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue retreated with a mournful face.

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian was not that surprised, nodded and said.

"I’ve learned piano, pipa, and yangqin, so I barely understand some music."

"The more you understand music, the more you know how deep Su Meng’s musical attainments are."

"It’s just a guest lecturer, not a formal lecturer, so it shouldn't be anything, right?"

"Da Da Da Mimi, you don't understand music..."

"I don't understand music?" Boss Yang was instantly unhappy.

"I can at least play the drums and I’ve learned the violin."

"Besides, I have a signature song, okay? 'Love’s Support', check it out?"

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian smiled slightly.

"I always think 'The Rest of My Life' sounds better."

"My 'Song of the Fifth Ring'..."

"What is 5 plus 1?"

"6, what’s wrong." Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue was confused.

"Congratulations, you are the most suitable person to sing 'Song of the Fifth Ring'."

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian said lightly without changing her expression.

"Of course, this was tailor-made for me by Little Junior Uncle."

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue shook his head proudly, then suddenly felt something was wrong.

"I say..." Deng Deng Deng Ziqi leaned over, just about to speak, when several voices rang out in unison.

"Professional singers, go away!"

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was almost crying.

"What I want to say is, what kind of sin have I committed!"

"Why did I have to release a song at this time?"

"I have a premonition that on the download chart, I’m going to be beaten by a bunch of non-professional singers..."

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling smiled and said softly.

"Teacher Deng, it’s mainly because your song this time is a bit ordinary."

"Yeah..." Deng Deng Deng Ziqi sighed, then her eyes lit up.

"By the way, what do you think if I ask Su Meng to write me a song?"

"It’s decided!"

"After recording the program today, I’ll follow him everywhere, I’ll pester him to death!"

"When he gives me the song, I’ll... what’s with those looks?"

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian’s look seemed a bit strange.

"Su Meng likes to smack his lips when he eats."

Boss Yang’s look was even weirder.

"Su Meng uses the men’s restroom."

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue raised his hand weakly.

"Little Junior Uncle snores when he sleeps, and he likes to sleep naked."

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling summarized in one sentence.

"So, how do you plan to follow him everywhere?"

Ah? Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was stunned.

On stage, Su Meng finally came back to his senses.

Thinking about it, this doesn't seem like a bad thing?

So he nodded heavily and said loudly.

"Good!"

Following his word "Good", the livestream room completely exploded.

"Holy crap, he was called Teacher Su, and now he really is Teacher Su?"

"That’s the Imperial Conservatory of Music! The highest art palace of Dragon Kingdom music! When did it compromise with traffic?"

"Exactly, Su Meng is just a little fresh meat at best, what qualifications does he have?"

"The two above, how long have you not been online? What time is it, who dares to say he’s a little fresh meat?"

"Exactly, so what if he’s a guest lecturer? The pieces he wrote, aren't they all amazing?"

"And his suona, it’s amazing, isn't it? In the Imperial Conservatory of Music, who can make people cry their hearts out with one suona?"

"Well-deserved! No matter what you think, I think it’s well-deserved!"

"Long live the Leader, unify the world!"

"What Leader? Now there’s a Teacher Su! Teacher Su’s fan club is established, looking for a name."

"No matter what the name is, I’m signing up first!"

The hiring of a guest lecturer naturally isn't just a word.

There are subsequent procedures to be handled, but these small things naturally don't need Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng to worry about.

He just confirmed the intention with Su Meng, then nodded and walked off the stage on his own.

Hu Zhengyuan’s face was full of joy, and he said loudly.

"The pieces released today will be included in the required repertoire of the Folk Music Department in the near future."

"At that time, Teacher Su will come to explain them to everyone!"

"Good~~~" The students of the Folk Music Department shouted in unison.

With such a great god sitting in town, our Folk Music Department is going to rise up!

And those pieces, can I play them too?

Although the difficulty seems not small...

Su Meng thought for a moment and continued.

"All the pieces from today’s concert will be available on major music platforms at 8 PM tonight."

"At the same time, the scores for these pieces will also be published on Weibo."

"Folk music enthusiasts are welcome to download and learn."

"Also..."

Su Meng paused, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My first personal album 'Peaceful Road to the West' will be released on time at 8 PM tonight!"

"Welcome everyone to support... cough cough cough..."

At the venue and in the livestream room, it was just cheering, but now it suddenly became quiet.

'Peaceful Road to the West'... huh? Why did I suddenly feel cold?

Seems like a cold wind blew by?

"'Peaceful Road to the West'? Such a direct name? Is it the theme song for Journey to the West?"

"Give me a copy later, I’ll listen to Teacher Su’s new work."

Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng was a bit confused, but still instructed his assistant.

Beside him, Wu Wu Guangren’s mouth twitched wildly.

Considering the Dean’s heart wasn't very good, he spoke weakly.

"Dean, I suggest you... better not listen to it..."

Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng’s face sank instantly.

"Director Wu, I know you’re unhappy that Teacher Su crashed the Piano Department’s venue."

"But as the head of the Piano Department, you should have the breadth of mind to embrace all rivers..."

Seeing the Dean still wanting to continue, Wu Wu Guangren couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Dean, that... this album... is a funeral music album..."

"Fu... funeral music?" Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng’s face turned green.

"Are you saying that Teacher Su’s first album is... funeral music?"

"Yes." Wu Wu Guangren was also a bit melancholy.

"To be precise, there are twenty funeral suona pieces inside, and the three major folk orchestras helped him with the accompaniment..."

The muscles on Da Qiao Da Qiao Qiao Tiancheng’s face twitched a few times.

He suddenly had deep doubts about his decision to invite Su Meng to be a guest lecturer.

My such a large music conservatory, shouldn't it become... a funeral music conservatory... right?

Should... not, right?

In the livestream room, someone finally sent a barrage.

"What are you guys worried about? Didn't that old security guard say? These pieces aren't for us to listen to, elderly people like them!"

"Yeah, yeah, I told my grandma there’s a piece that wishes her peace, she was so happy."

"Understood! Where is the Funeral Team? Must download it immediately, give this song to the elderly, let them feel Master Su’s blessing!"

"I always feel something is a bit strange, but I will definitely not fall behind!"

"Elderly people... I declare that the square dance aunties within five kilometers of me are mine, I will definitely make them like Master Su and join the ranks of the Funeral Team."

"There’s a park next to my house, lots of old men playing chess, I’m going to send them peace!"

"Luckily that old security guard reminded us, otherwise such a good album would have been buried."

I have to say, the power of true fans is infinite.

But what they didn't know was that the music the old security guard said the elderly liked was the festive music.

So... things soon developed in a very strange direction...

"Little Junior Uncle, you’ve worked hard!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue came over and handed him a glass of water attentively.

Boss Yang and Liu Liu Liu Tianxian could still be calm, but Deng Deng Deng Ziqi couldn't hold it in.

She rushed up and grabbed Su Meng tightly.

"Su Meng, I don't care, I don't care!"

"I have a premonition that in the next few days on the download chart, I, a professional singer, am going to stumble!"

"This is all trouble you caused, you must be responsible for me!"

"Responsible?" Su Meng’s look was also a bit strange.

"How do you want me to be responsible?"

"Hmph! I’ve got you!" Deng Deng Deng Ziqi raised her head and said loudly.

"Anyway, I’ll follow you these few days, wherever you go, I’ll go."

"When you write me a song, I’ll let you go."

Su Meng was also very helpless.

This girl, how did she become like chewing gum, chasing people away?
