Jingcheng!

On Sunday, the news of Zhou Andong's lecture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts had already spread from the academy to several surrounding schools.

At the Central Academy of Drama, teachers personally called to inquire and told the Central Academy of Fine Arts that many students from the Central Academy of Drama also wanted to go and listen to Zhou Andong's lecture.

Among the eight famous art institutions in Beijing, perhaps because they were closer, or for some other reason, the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Central Academy of Drama were relatively close.

Teachers and students from the Central Academy of Drama often came to the Academy of Fine Arts to attend lectures, and when the Central Academy of Drama held school galas, they would also invite teachers and students from the Central Academy of Fine Arts to participate.

Just last year, not long after Zhou Anqin started school, the two schools even held a gala evening at the auditorium of the Shuaifuyuan Traffic Squadron.

Of course, their relationship with the Conservatory of Music, the Academy of Drama, the Film Academy, and the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts was also very good.

They often held dances on weekends, and students from the nearby Peking Union Medical College would also come over to play.

However, compared to the unrestrained nature of these art students, the students from Peking Union Medical College were a bit more reserved.

Especially the girls, who were all like nuns, a bit cold, rigid, and detached from worldly affairs.

At this moment, in the center of the first row of the lecture hall at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, several men and women were sitting.

They were the student union president, two vice presidents, and the heads of the student union's organization department, publicity department, academic department, and cultural and sports department.

The head of the publicity department was named Shen Yu, with fair skin, short hair, and glasses. She wasn't tall, but her figure was very well-endowed.

Although she was sitting there wearing jeans and a somewhat oversized shirt, it couldn't hide her curves.

In the parlance of later generations, it was a "pure and sexy" style, possessing both a girlish feel and a sexy, alluring charm.

While being youthful and cute, she also carried a touch of charm and sexiness.

The feeling she gave people was clean, pure, and full, carrying a sense of freshness and vitality.

"Holding the venue in the lecture hall definitely won't work. The Central Academy of Drama has already reached out, and there will definitely be people coming from the Conservatory of Music, the Academy of Drama, the Film Academy, and even Peking Union Medical College; it won't fit everyone here."

Shen Yu's voice was also very pleasant, soft and sweet; there was no need to ask, just by listening, one could tell she must be from the Jiangnan region.

The student union president was named Lan Huiying, a girl about 1.7 meters tall with a ponytail, not considered beautiful but very heroic.

"Every celebrity who comes to the Central Academy of Fine Arts gives lectures in the lecture hall. If Brother Dong cannot stand on the podium here, I will be deeply dissatisfied."

Stars flashed in Lan Huiying's eyes, and her tone carried an indescribable stubbornness.

"Sigh!"

Shen Yu tilted her body, her palm supporting her chin, her elbow resting on the chair armrest.

"There's no other way, though. If it were just our teachers and students from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, squeezing in would be about enough. But with teachers and students from other schools coming too, this place is just too small."

The head of the cultural and sports department, Zhang Yichuan, also frowned: "The school's grand auditorium is a bit bigger than this, but not by much."

The head of the organization department, Xu Jian'an, said: "How about we go to the auditorium of the Shuaifuyuan Traffic Squadron?"

"It's not big enough either." Zhang Yichuan shook his head.

As they spoke, everyone looked at Zhou Anqin, who had been sitting there without saying a word.

"Xiao Qin!" Lan Huiying asked curiously: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

At the Central Academy of Fine Arts, not many people knew Zhou Anqin's identity, but the student union cadres present were among them.

Otherwise, how could Zhou Anqin, a freshman, have been elected as vice president of the student union?

Unlike some schools in later generations that were polluted by bad habits, making the student union a mess with very serious bureaucratic styles.

If you wanted to hold an official position in the student union, you had to build up seniority, or you needed a background, or you had to treat people to meals and give gifts.

But in this era, most students were still relatively simple and didn't have so many ulterior motives.

Especially Zhou Andong's influence among students; even he himself didn't know how great it was.

Not to mention at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, where there were fanboys and fangirls everywhere; even the young teachers couldn't escape it.

When Lan Huiying, Zhang Yichuan, and the others found out that Zhou Anqin was Zhou Andong's younger sister, they were quite shocked.

Then, after the shock came excitement; with Zhou Anqin, this younger sister, at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, wouldn't it be easy to see Zhou Andong in the future?

As for electing Zhou Anqin, a freshman, as vice president of the student union, no one opposed it; on the contrary, they welcomed it very much.

In their minds, with Zhou Anqin in the student union, whenever they held important activities in the future and wanted to invite Zhou Andong to come and support them, wouldn't it just be a matter of a word from his younger sister, Zhou Anqin?

For example, this time inviting Zhou Andong to come for a lecture, it was indeed the principal who had talked to Zhou Anqin, but it was the result of Lan Huiying and the others constantly whispering in her ear, making this girl decide to go home and discuss it with her big brother.

Of course, regardless of the reason, the people present truly cherished this little junior sister, Zhou Anqin. For some matters and some work, even if they didn't teach her hand-in-hand, it was about the same.

"Sigh!" Zhou Anqin also sighed: "There definitely isn't enough space indoors. How about we do it outdoors? We can set up a stage in the school square. Whoever wants to come and listen to the lecture can bring their own stool, otherwise, they can just stand."

"This..."

Shen Yu slightly opened her pretty little mouth, and her small, upturned nose wrinkled.

"Letting Chairman Zhou stand outdoors to give a lecture, that's not good, it's too disrespectful."

"Pfft!"

Zhou Anqin laughed inexplicably: "I'm not even distressed, what are you distressed about? I can tell you, I already have a sister-in-law, and my little niece is already two years old."

Shen Yu rolled her eyes at her, then said with a giggle: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can see him and take a photo with him, I'll be satisfied."

"Alright, stop being a fangirl." Zhang Yichuan said with a hint of jealousy: "Let's hurry up and confirm the venue; we still have to set it up tomorrow, otherwise it'll be too late."

When the others heard this, a faint smile appeared on their faces.

They all knew that Zhang Yichuan liked Shen Yu, but the usually eloquent Minister Zhang became silent and reticent whenever he faced Shen Yu alone.

Zhang Yichuan was very handsome and talented, and Shen Yu also knew Zhang Yichuan's feelings for her, but she really didn't feel a spark; there was absolutely nothing to be done about that.

"Senior sister!" Shen Yu looked at Lan Huiying: "You decide, where should we put it."

Lan Huiying was very conflicted; she also strongly agreed with Shen Yu's idea.

Letting her idol give a lecture in an open-air square, she couldn't get past that hurdle in her heart.

"It's settled then." Seeing Lan Huiying's conflicted appearance, Zhou Anqin made the final decision: "In the square."

Seeing that Zhou Anqin had said so, the others naturally had no objections; after all, that was her own brother.

"Alright!" Lan Huiying nodded reluctantly: "Outdoors, let's set the time before 10:00 AM or after 4:00 PM, otherwise, standing under the scorching sun could bake people to death."

Shen Yu looked at her arms, which were like tender lotus roots, and thought about what it would be like to get tanned, and couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

"The morning won't work. Even if we start early, if the time gets extended, it will get hotter and hotter. Let's set it for 4:00 PM; no matter how much the time is extended, it will only get cooler and cooler."
