Chapter 109: Watch the boss set you up with a talent show phone call!

Wang Lin and Su's dad of course knew their daughter had a boyfriend; they had long considered Jiang Chen to be Su Manyao's boyfriend.

But the daughter never brought her boyfriend home, nor did she make it public.

Moreover, the last time they saw Jiang Chen, they even heard him say he wanted to elope with Su Manyao! Originally they had some doubts, but this time when they raided Su Manyao's home and saw Jiang Chen there, and he wasn't even wearing clothes.

This is an ironclad fact: Jiang Chen is the daughter's boyfriend, and they've already done that! Regarding the elopement, they have some doubts, but they're not especially worried; yet this doubt makes people feel uncomfortable.

You say you found a boyfriend, so you found a boyfriend; you say your boyfriend is a college student, so he's a college student; you say it's an old cow eating tender grass, so it's an old cow eating tender grass.

Mom and Dad won't blame you!

Why are you hiding it and refusing to let us know? Coincidentally, Li Shuhan from the capital is coming to Modu, so Wang Lin and Su's dad discussed and decided to stimulate their daughter, to get her to announce Jiang Chen's presence sooner! Now it seems they haven't yet reached the ultimate goal, but there is obviously a slight effect.

Su Bancheng said, "Since she still won't admit it, let's give her a bit more spice."

"Didn't Li Shuhan say he's coming to our house for a meal? Give him some time."

Wang Lin blinked and said, "Okay!"

…

The next morning, Jiang Chen became the most handsome guy in class.

Because the school awarded him a medal for bravery!

That is, the incident where he rescued that little girl last time!

A small certificate presenter awarded Jiang Chen in front of the whole class.

And they widely publicized this incident.

Moreover, they gave Jiang Chen extra credits; this is all the school's decision.

Jiang Chen gladly accepted.

Only a fool would turn down credits.

After two classes ended, Jiang Chen came out of the classroom, and many girls from other classes surrounded him, wanting to take a photo with him.

They say they like his positive energy and such a good person, but really they just want to get close to a handsome guy, after all Jiang Chen's looks are not bad.

After taking photos with several female classmates, Jiang Chen headed toward the cafeteria.

Seven or eight girls followed along.

As he passed the library, Jiang Chen heard the girls next to him chattering noisily.

"Look, how pretty!"

"If I had such a figure, I'd love it, I'd die for it as a girl."

"Never mind that figure; I'd be satisfied if my face were just one-tenth as pretty as hers."

Jiang Chen lifted his head and saw that everyone around was looking at Su Manyao.

Su Manyao came to school today? I didn't see her send me a message either; Su Manyao also saw Jiang Chen, but she just glanced at him, turned her face away, and walked past like a stranger.

She wore high heels, her steps still as elegant as ever.

Jiang Chen heard the two male students walking toward him stare at Su Manyao like perverts and say, "These legs—I could play with them for ten years and still not have enough!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? That's a professor!"

"A professor is a professor; just looking is fine."

"If I had the chance to do it all over again, I'd apply to the Music Department!"

Jiang Chen also glanced at those legs.

Can you play with them for ten years?

Surely more than that.

Jiang Chen felt the time was about right; if he kept up the cold war with Yujie, he might really lose out, and then who knows whose arms those legs will end up in!

Afternoon.

Jiang Chen called Ye Qing over and brought her to sign up.

It's the program introduced by Director Wang Qiangwei, Jin Ge Shou.

The registration place isn't far from Modu Daxue, but not close either; taking a taxi takes over half an hour.

The two got off at the building below the venue where the program is recorded.

After completing registration and passing security, they reached the 23rd floor, finding many people queuing to sign up in the hallway.

As soon as Jiang Chen and Ye Qing entered, many people's gazes gathered on them.

Mainly because Ye Qing has an elegant, charming face that looks very star-like.

Plus Jiang Chen is young, handsome, and sunny.

"Are you here to sign up? Take a number and queue over here."

At the entrance, a young woman in uniform, munching on melon seeds, spoke up.

Jiang Chen filled out his information, took his queue number, and there were still nine people ahead of him.

"Next!"

A room at the side with double doors; when opened, you can see it's spacious, like a recording studio hall.

At that moment, someone was standing at the doorway shouting.

Then a male-female duo stood up nervously and went inside.

Inside, another duo came out—two girls, one slumped with her head down, the other wiping her tears, sniffling as she left.

Jiang Chen and Ye Qing found a place to sit.

Ye Qing felt nervous under the surrounding gazes and fidgeted with her fingers.

Jiang Chen turned his head and glanced at her, saying, "You're nervous just signing up—how will you handle being on stage?" Ye Qing said somewhat flustered, "Boss, I can do it, I really can; every time I go on stage, I'm not myself!"

Jiang Chen said, "If you're not you, then who are you?"

Ye Qing lowered her head and didn't speak, stammering for a while.

Jiang Chen couldn't help letting out a light chuckle, and he stopped teasing him.

At that moment, a guy with a small braid standing next to him came over and said to Jiang Chen, "Brother, are you also here to sign up? In my opinion, this show really has nothing worth participating in; among the 10 people who signed up, I haven't seen a single one pass. I'm telling you, queuing up is just wasting time."

Jiang Chen looked at him and said, "So you're queuing up too—aren't you wasting time as well?"

The braid guy chuckled and said, "My time isn't worth anything."

Jiang Chen said, "Mine's the same."

Embarrassed, the braid guy made an "ahem, heehee" sound and said nothing.

"Don't believe me? Just wait and see—it's a waste of time, the standards are really high. What song have you prepared? Can you let me have a look?"

Jiang Chen said, "I haven't prepared anything."

"Just messing around?" the little moustache guy shrank back, shifted his butt, and sat down to the side.

After waiting about half an hour, only three people ahead had signed up, and all three of them had been eliminated.

Jiang Chen glanced at the time and said, "How long do we have to wait?"

Ye Qing sat down honestly beside him and said, "It's fine, let's wait a bit longer."

Jiang Chen brought him to participate in such a show; honestly, he felt very excited inside.

At the same time he was also nervous, worrying that he might get eliminated as soon as he signed up.

Because such things are unpredictable—for example, whether this registration method passes or not is entirely decided by the judges.

So in many cases there is no actual standard.

While he was thinking that, he saw Jiang Chen pull out his phone.

Then he made a call.

"Hello, hello, I'm Jiang Chen."

"Uh, yeah, that's right."

"I'm in the registration lobby, yeah, on the 23rd floor."

"Okay."

Ye Qing watched the boss make a call, wondering who the boss was calling—could it be that he was hungry and ordering takeout?
