Chapter 26: The Highly Anticipated

Su Meng's agent, Qin Jie, stared at the Weibo trending topics, completely bewildered.

What on earth is going on?

In the past, getting on the trending list required buying traffic; how did we suddenly monopolize all the trending topics today?

Two new topics had climbed onto the trending list.

#Su Meng is about to unleash his ultimate move; what is "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"? #

#Su Meng: "Ya" is formed by "Jia" and "Ya"; "Su" is formed by "Ren" and "Gu"#

Gazing at these trending topics, Qin Jie fell into deep thought.

Could it be that our previous positioning of Su Meng's persona was wrong?

Just then, her phone suddenly rang, displaying an unfamiliar number.

She answered, and a pleasant voice came from the other end.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Su Meng's agent?"

A job? Qin Jie was stunned, then quickly replied.

"I am Su Meng's agent, Qin Jie. May I ask who is calling?"

"Hello, this is the Folk Music Department of the Dragon Kingdom Yinyuexue Academy. We would like to invite Su Meng to give a few lectures at our school; I wonder about the fee..."

What? The Dragon Kingdom Yinyuexue Academy?

Qin Jie's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

This is the Dragon Kingdom Yinyuexue Academy! The highest temple of music in the Dragon Kingdom!

Su Meng is merely a pretty-faced young idol who only knows how to sell his looks; they actually want him to give lectures?

This is a recipe for gilding the lily!

What? You're talking about fees? What fees? I'd be willing to pay them myself!

"Hello, hello. Being able to exchange at the Dragon Kingdom Yinyuexue Academy is an honor for our Su Meng; talking about fees is far too formal."

"However, Su Meng is currently filming a program and cannot spare time for the moment."

"That's no problem; we can wait." The person on the other end was very reasonable.

"Today we mainly want to communicate our intentions; shall we schedule a time to discuss the specific details?"

Qin Jie, in a daze, agreed on a time, then hung up the phone, still in a daze.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and dialed another number.

"Boss, you might not believe this."

"The Dragon Kingdom Yinyuexue Academy actually invited our Su Meng to give lectures..."

At this moment, online discussions regarding Su Meng had erupted into chaos.

"I think what Su Meng said makes perfect sense; they are all instruments that make sound; why should the suona be considered inferior?"

"Brother is right! Brother is the best!"

"Stupid fans, get lost! By the way, doesn't it look tacky when your brother carries a suona?"

"Didn't he say he would unleash his ultimate move tomorrow? I'm looking forward to it!"

"Looking forward to it +1; I've already prepared three rolls of toilet paper; that should be enough to handle his ultimate move, right?"

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated; isn't it called "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"? It shouldn't be a funeral song, right?"

"Artistic value? You're making me laugh; the suona is so tacky; how can it have any artistic value?"

"Su Meng is just a suona player for funerals; what qualification does he have to talk about the suona's artistic value? Is he worthy? Is he worthy?"

"If we're talking about elegance and artistic value, it must be the piano, the king of instruments! What kind of thing is the suona?"

In a lecture hall at the Dragon Kingdom Yinyuexue Academy, the seats were packed to capacity.

A student with a short crew cut shifted his body and said discontentedly.

"What is Teacher Hu up to? Calling everyone over right after lunch?"

Another student took out his phone and said absentmindedly.

"Exactly; if it weren't for the fact that not coming would deduct credits, I wouldn't have come either."

The student with the crew cut glanced at his screen and suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Hey? What are you watching? Is this a funeral?"

"Keep your voice down!" That student quickly covered his mouth and whispered.

"I'm not watching a funeral; I'm watching Su Meng."

"You know Su Meng, right? The one who specializes in playing the emotionless domineering CEO."

Upon hearing the name Su Meng, the student with the crew cut's eyes immediately took on a strange look.

"If I remember correctly, didn't Su Meng carry a suona to the countryside to perform at funerals?"

"You study the suona; you wouldn't be..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the lecture hall suddenly opened.

Teacher Hu walked in with Bai Xiao Ling.

Bai Xiao Ling quickly moved to connect the equipment, while Teacher Hu glanced around the classroom, nodded in satisfaction, and said loudly.

"Students, I have gathered you here today to lead us in jointly appreciating a suona piece!"

Appreciating a suona piece? A slight commotion stirred in the classroom.

Teacher Hu continued.

"I have a premonition that this piece will become the representative work of the suona as an instrument!"

His words left all the students even more confused.

Someone, mustering their courage, shouted.

"Teacher Hu, what song are you talking about?"

Teacher Hu smiled slightly and said in a clear, loud voice.

"This song is called — 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.' The composer and performer — Su Meng!"

Su Meng? "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"?

After a brief silence, the classroom suddenly exploded!

……

In a restaurant, Liu Tianxian checked the time, dried her hands, ran to the lobby, sat down, and pulled out her phone.

I heard this professional domineering-CEO actor has completely let himself loose these past two days, and today he even vowed to play his trump card.

I wonder what that trump card of his will be today?

By the swimming pool, Boss Yang looked up at the clock on the wall, feeling a little anxious herself.

The hottest person these past two days is Su Meng, and the most anticipated thing is the piece he's about to perform.

But she's currently wearing a swimsuit — how could she possibly have brought her phone?

While she was anxiously wondering what to do, she suddenly noticed the TV mounted on the swimming pool wall and instantly had an idea……

"Sorry, could you wait just a moment?"

Deng Ziqi pulled her car over to the side of the road and said apologetically.

That passenger had earlier heard her sing beautifully and had taken quite a liking to this female driver.
