Chapter 536: Having Connections Makes Things Easier

Until noon the next day, the two class groups were in heated discussion regarding the song selection.

Everyone first discussed and decided on a general scope, which was to choose a relatively inspirational song as much as possible.

After all, it was to welcome the newly enrolled juniors; as seniors, they had to set a certain example, and choosing an inspirational, positive-energy song was most appropriate for such an occasion.

Consequently, under this premise, the students of the two classes successively put forward their own opinions.

There were quite a few suitable inspirational songs, and everyone's preferences differed, so the debate was quite intense.

At lunchtime, a girl in the class sent a message, suggesting that instead of arguing like this, it would be better to let Qin Tian, who was the lead singer, make the final decision.

As soon as this message appeared, the argumentative messages in the group stopped immediately.

Subsequently, Chen Zhuang was the first to tag Qin Tian in the group, expressing his approval of this proposal.

One after another, people sent messages in agreement, all tagging Qin Tian's account.

Xia Nuannuan, who was eating with Qin Tian, saw the message in the group, hurriedly told him about it, and handed the phone screen to him to look at.

Qin Tian took the phone and casually sent a message using Xia Nuannuan's account.

"I am Qin Tian. Since you all want me to decide, then let's choose this one!"

Saying that, he casually copied and pasted a song title that someone had sent earlier, and then sent it out.

After the group was quiet for a while, the boy who had sent the song title was the first to pop up.

"Hahaha... I said this one was good, right? It seems my appreciation for music is as high as Brother Tian's!"

"Get lost, is it possible that Brother Tian just picked one at random?"

"I have that feeling too!"

"But having said that, I actually think this song is good; I quite agree."

"Same here, let's go with this one, no need to argue anymore."

"Agreed, agreed. Brother Tian is both the lead singer and the guitarist, let's just listen to him!"

"We girls agree too. This song is quite nice and very inspirational."

"I've already started looking forward to it. I wonder what it will be like when our two classes perform this song."

"There, done."

Qin Tian took a bite of food and handed the phone back to Xia Nuannuan with a smile.

"You are too casual!"

Xia Nuannuan took the phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She had been watching just now; this person hadn't considered the selection properly at all.

She swiped her finger up the screen and, seeing the two messages Qin Tian had sent in the group, was even more certain that he had picked one at random.

It was only because this song title was the closest one.

"What song we choose doesn't matter, okay? The key is the people performing."

Qin Tian said casually.

Xia Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, then nodded and said, "Although it was a random pick, this song is actually quite good; it's a song I quite like."

"Is that so? Then it seems our luck is pretty good."

Qin Tian grinned.

After the song was decided, the preparatory work was almost complete.

After the afternoon classes ended, the official members participating in this performance had to start their training.

The training venue had also been found; the twenty boys and girls of the dance group went to the Art College Dance Club mentioned by the two seniors.

The remaining instrumental group, led by Qin Tian, headed to a fully equipped Music Classroom that Qian Ling had arranged after communicating with the Student Union.

After saying goodbye to him, Xia Nuannuan went to the Art College with the others from the dance group.

Qin Tian, meanwhile, went with the members of the instrumental group, led by Qian Ling, all the way to the Music Classroom.

The instruments and equipment in the classroom were already prepared and fully stocked.

On the way there, Qian Ling had jokingly mentioned that the communication with the Student Union had gone very smoothly.

When that senior from the Student Union learned that Qin Tian was the lead singer, she agreed immediately, saying she would help arrange everything.

Several students from the two classes who had nothing to do also followed along to join in the fun, using the excuse of helping with logistics.

"Wow, this is prepared quite well!"

"It's all thanks to our Class Monitor's charm!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Student Union to have fans of your Class Monitor; that's impressive."

"This is what they call having connections in high places, get it?"

"..."

Everyone looked around at the equipment in the classroom, chatting and laughing with each other.

"Alright, those of you here to join in the fun, be a little quieter and don't disturb them."

Qian Ling called out.

"Yes..."

The few people responded sparsely, but they followed orders and lowered the volume of their conversation.

At the same time, Qin Tian, Cao Mingliang, and Lu Lei had already taken their respective places.

Cao Mingliang sat behind the drum kit, took the drumsticks, and tapped them with a *thump-thump* to find the feel.

Lu Lei also sat behind the electronic keyboard and casually let a short, ethereal melody flow from her fingertips, causing everyone to cast surprised gazes in her direction.

Qin Tian also shouldered the guitar prepared for him and tried plucking the strings.

It was not a very good guitar, but for him, who possessed Master-level Musical Instrument Proficiency, it was perfectly sufficient.

"The senior hasn't arrived yet? What should the three of us do?"

Cao Mingliang asked.

The outside help invited by Xia Nuannuan, the senior responsible for the bass, had not yet arrived.

"I've already sent a message; the senior is on her way."

Qian Ling held her phone and answered hurriedly.

"How about you sing and play this song once first, Qin Tian? We'll listen to it, so we can think about how to accompany you."

Lu Lei suggested with a smile.

Qin Tian did not refuse; he nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, everyone's faces were filled with anticipation.

A girl in the class hurriedly took out her phone, opened the recording function, and pointed the lens at Qin Tian.

"Sneaking a video of the Class Monitor? What are you trying to do?"

A girl nearby covered her mouth with her hand and asked in a lowered voice.

"Xia Nuannuan definitely wants this. I'm recording it for her and will send it to her later."

The girl answered with a straight face.

"Is that for real!"

The girl nearby had a skeptical expression; she leaned into her ear and whispered even more softly, "I'll help you block the view; how about you send me a copy later too?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

After the two exchanged a look, they cooperated with great tacit understanding.

This song was a very popular single released by a band two years ago; Qin Tian had heard it in both his past and present lives, and his impression of it was still very deep.

Because the lyrics and melody were catchy, as long as he looked at the lyrics, singing and playing this song was very simple for him.

Qian Ling was very experienced in organizing such activities, and she had helped prepare and print out the lyrics and sheet music for this song.

She had someone move a stand in front of Qin Tian and clipped a printed sheet of lyrics and music onto it.

As Qin Tian's fingers lightly plucked the guitar strings, the song's gentle and pleasant prelude began to play.
