Chapter 234

……

In the concert hall, after a moment of silence, scattered applause broke out.

Regarding Su Meng's words, some agreed, but others were displeased.

Su Meng smiled and said no more.

He simply bowed, then prepared to walk off the stage.

Just then, a voice from the audience rang out.

"Wait!"

Su Meng instinctively stopped and looked down at the audience.

He saw an elderly man with graying hair standing up in the exact center of the front row.

Hu Zhengyuan was startled and quickly whispered.

"Xiao Meng, that is Qiao Tiancheng, the Dean of the Yinyuexue Academy."

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

"Dean Qiao, is there something else you need?"

Though his words were polite, he was already mentally prepared for a three-hundred-round battle.

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

He glanced at him and suddenly spoke.

"Today's Changyinyue Society was, for me personally, a true feast for the eyes and ears."

"These pieces are all rare masterpieces."

"This shows that Mr. Su has profound attainments in music."

"Dean Qiao is too kind." Su Meng offered a humble remark, while secretly sharpening his focus.

Is this the legendary calmness, offering courtesy before force?

But what he did not expect was that Qiao Tiancheng's next words left him completely stunned.

"Just now, down in the audience, I communicated with several academy leaders."

"I wish to formally invite Mr. Su Meng, on behalf of the Yinyuexue Academy, to serve as a visiting lecturer for the Traditional Music Department of the Yinyuexue Academy."

"I wonder what Mr. Su thinks of this?"

What? Su Meng was utterly shocked.

Earlier, when Qiao Tiancheng came on stage, he had thought the man was there to cause trouble.

After all, saying such things in this setting today was practically a provocation against the Yinyuexue Academy.

But he never expected Qiao Tiancheng to not bring up that topic at all.

Instead, he was inviting him to be a... visiting lecturer?

What kind of scene is this?

Seeing him stunned, Qiao Tiancheng did not urge him, but simply waited quietly.

But the entire concert hall suddenly exploded.

Many students from the Traditional Music Department jumped up in excitement, cheering loudly one after another.

They did not understand all those intricate details.

They only knew that today's concert had made the Traditional Music Department shine brilliantly.

The traditional music pieces Su Meng presented, whether solo or ensemble, which one was not a masterpiece among masterpieces?

Moreover, Su Meng had taught them several classes a few days ago, and the skills he displayed had long since won over these young people.

Now the academy actually wanted to hire Su Meng as a visiting lecturer?

Dean, you understand me!

If you weren't old and ugly, I would marry you for sure!

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

Especially the piano department students, their faces as black as a pot bottom.

This Su Meng personally smashed the piano department's event!

If he became a visiting lecturer for the Traditional Music Department, wouldn't that department suddenly become powerful?

But they could not refute the Dean's decision, so they could only fall silent one by one.

……

"Su Meng... is going to become a teacher at the Yinyuexue Academy?"

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

Boss Yang nodded expressionlessly and added.

"To be precise, a visiting lecturer."

"Tianxian'er, pinch me, let me see if I'm dreaming..."

"Sister will do it!"

"Get lost!"

"Okay~~~" Xiao Yueyue retreated with a gloomy face.

Liu Tianxian was not so surprised; she nodded and said.

"I have studied piano, pipa, and yangqin, so I barely understand some music."

"The more one understands music, the more one knows how profound Su Meng's musical attainments are."

"It's just a visiting lecturer, not a regular lecturer; it shouldn't count for much, right?"

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

"You don't understand music?" Boss Yang immediately became displeased.

"I can at least play the drums and have studied the violin."

"Besides, I at least have a Divine Song of my own, don't I? Have you heard 'Love's Offering'?"

Liu Tianxian smiled slightly.

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

"My 'Five Rings Song'..."

"What is five plus one?"

"Six, what's wrong?" Xiao Yueyue was somewhat baffled.

"Congratulations, you are the most suitable person to sing 'The Five Rings Song'."

Liu Tianxian's expression did not change; she said calmly.

"Of course, this was tailored specifically for me by my Junior Shishu."

Xiao Yueyue proudly shook his head, then suddenly felt something was not quite right.

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

"Professional singers, get out!"

Deng Ziqi was almost on the verge of tears.

"What I wanted to say is, what sin did I commit?!"

"Releasing a song at this time?"

"I have a premonition that on the download charts, I will be utterly crushed by a group of non-professional singers..."

Bai Xiao Ling pressed her lips together in a smile and said softly.

"Teacher Deng, mainly because your song this time was a bit too ordinary."

"Yes..." Deng Ziqi let out a long sigh, then suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Right, what do you think if I ask Su Meng to write a song for me?"

"It's decided!"

"After recording the program today, I will stick to him like glue and pester him to death!"

"Once he gives me the song, I will then... what are you all looking at like that?"

Liu Tianxian's gaze seemed somewhat strange.

"Su Meng likes to smack his lips when eating."

Boss Yang's gaze became even stranger.

"Su Meng uses the men's restroom."

Xiao Yueyue weakly raised his hand.
