Chapter 314: Urban Card-Drawing System (20)

Han Yu's manager, Chen Mu, heard the commotion outside and found an assistant to ask about the situation: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy? Didn't the construction finish a long time ago?"

"I heard it's a fan of Brother Yu. She discovered that the sponsor's billboard was loose, so she paid out of her own pocket to hire a team of welders to inspect and reinforce it."

"..."

Although he didn't think a slight looseness in the billboard would affect the concert, Chen Mu felt that such a fan was truly rare.

Compared to the groups of fans clutching cheering signs or handmade gifts, crowding and blocking the way, this kind of fan who stands in the idol's shoes to solve their worries and troubles seemed unique.

Not noisy, not causing trouble, and even helping to eliminate potential hazards—she was simply a benchmark in the fan industry.

Compared to those troublesome obsessive fans, she was a thousand times, ten thousand times better!

Thus, after obtaining Han Yu's consent, Chen Mu had his assistant lead Xie Yang in through the staff entrance before the rehearsal ended, giving her a rare opportunity to communicate face-to-face with her idol, take a photo, and get an autograph.

Xie Yang, who had just sent off the welders and was about to return to the hotel to shower and then go to Tang Gong Yan to feast: "..."

Chen Jiani and her cousin looked more like Han Yu's fans than she did; they poked her shirt corner from either side and whispered, their tone unable to hide their excitement:

"Yang Yang, he really seems to be Han Yu's assistant. Are we really going to meet Han Yu? Aren't you happy? Aren't you excited?"

Xie Yang: I think you are happier and more excited than I am.

"Sister Yang Yang, you are my idol! In the future, I'll learn from you when I chase stars!"

Xie Yang: Learn what! Your idol certainly doesn't want the billboard to fall on him!

The fans blocked outside certainly recognized Han Yu's assistant, and seeing this scene, they were so envious their teeth ached:

Holy crap! This woman is so calculating! Making up some excuse about worrying the billboard would fall, when it turns out it was all to attract Brother Yu's attention so she could get his autographed photo and take a picture with him?

If they had known, they would have spent some money to hire people to reinforce the billboard too. Is it too late to hire someone now? Sob sob... they felt like they had missed out on a hundred million!

Xie Yang, who had earned a hundred million—no, who had earned a few photos and autographs—did not take this stroke of luck to heart.

The Task in this plane had spawned a pile of things to worry about; compared to an idol in the entertainment industry, how could he be more important than the family and friends around her?

The original owner liked Han Yu, but that was just liking his songs; she wasn't obsessed or fanatical enough to chase his schedule or act like a disgusting obsessive fan, and Xie Yang certainly wouldn't do that.

After gracefully taking the photo and getting Han Yu's autographed poster, Xie Yang took her little friends and headed off to Tang Gong Yan, where it was notoriously difficult to book a private room, to enjoy the representative delicacies of Licheng.

Watching Xie Yang turn and leave without looking back, Chen Mu was bewildered: "Could I have misunderstood? Is she actually not your fan, but someone sent by the sponsor to check the billboard?"

"..."

Han Yu rubbed his temples: "Regardless of whether she is or not, she helped us. If the billboard had come loose and fallen during the concert, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Hearing this, Chen Mu's expression also turned serious: "Indeed, I'll have someone check it thoroughly again. This concert is crucial for you; it's the company's chance to re-evaluate you, and there can't be any mistakes."

Regardless, Xie Yang's actions drew the attention of Han Yu's side. After she left, they had everything carefully rehearsed and inspected again, making the concert proceed very smoothly without any accidents.

After watching the concert, Xie Yang finally let her guard down.

Unlike other fans who were reluctant to leave after the concert and shed tears at the airport, she took her little friends on a deep tour, playing through every corner of this thousand-year-old city known as "Little Shanghai," before returning to Jiangcheng with a sense of lingering enjoyment.

Chen Mu protected Han Yu as they entered the VIP lounge, finally exhaling and smoothing out his clothes, which had been crushed like pickled greens: "It seems that girl named Xie Yang really isn't your fan. Otherwise, with my sharp eyes, I definitely would have recognized her in the group of fans seeing you off."

"..."

Over there, Xie Yang returned to Jiangcheng, and as soon as she opened her phone, several important announcements from the class group popped up—the thesis defense was in one week.

Fortunately, after she transmigrated, she had added some cultural relics appraisal knowledge she'd accumulated from picking up antiques in the seventies to her thesis. The content was more novel and flexible than before, and it had finally passed the advisor's review. She figured the defense wouldn't be a problem, so she wasn't nervous.

The facts proved this to be true: although her final submitted thesis wasn't particularly brilliant, because it was written by blending the knowledge she had mastered rather than copying bits and pieces from here and there, she was fluent and smooth during the defense, and in the end, she actually received an 'Excellent'.

One must know that from the time the original owner entered as a freshman, her grades every semester never failed to hover around the passing line; if she was lucky, she passed, and if she was unlucky, she had to retake exams or repeat courses, stumbling her way to graduation.

Who would have thought that near graduation, her thesis defense would actually get an 'Excellent'? How could Father Xie not be happy?

In his joy, he waved his hand and declared he would treat her teachers and classmates to a farewell dinner.

"How about we set the location at the newly opened Jinglan Winery?"

Jinglan Winery cost 1,800 per person, and the private rooms and banquet halls were even more expensive.

Xie Yang: "..."

The title of "spendthrift" clearly belonged to her old man. She didn't deserve it!

The Cultural Relics Restoration major that the original owner had gotten into by barely meeting the cutoff score was the one with the fewest students in the entire school. The whole department only had twenty students. If they invited all the teachers and department leaders who had taught them, it would only be thirty or forty people, four tables at most.

But four tables would still cost nearly a hundred thousand. Spending nearly a hundred thousand on a farewell dinner—if that wasn't being a spendthrift, what was?

Not to mention her, even the original owner wasn't close to these classmates and teachers!

As a poor student, she had no presence at school, and likewise, no presence in the teachers' hearts.

Teacher: No! You frequently retook exams and repeated courses; which teacher in the department doesn't know your big name?

Xie Yang didn't know that!

She only knew that the original owner wasn't interested in this major; she would sleep in the classroom during class and sleep in the dorm after class. When she didn't have class, she would go to Feng Xuanxuan's school to hang out with her, and she rarely had opportunities to interact with classmates and teachers. Even her own roommates weren't close to her, let alone anyone else.

However, before her father could go and book a banquet hall at Jinglan Winery with a grand gesture, a new notice appeared in the class group—the specific time and location for the graduation dinner, the farewell dinner, had been set, along with the AA amount each person needed to pay: 300 yuan.

Xie Yang transferred the money without hesitation and at the same time informed Comrade Lao Xie in a light tone: "Dad, you don't need to worry. Our class monitor and league branch secretary have already set the dinner location at the Four Seasons Hotel next to the school."

Father Xie: "..."

Was something wrong with his ears? Why did he hear his daughter let out a sigh of relief?
