At the same time, those inside the Art Club activity room were also reading the forum.

Seeing how Gu XueEr had been quiet the entire time and not looking too happy, her good friend next to her tried to comfort her.
“The only reason that Gu Xi could win in vote count this time was because Gu Yanxiao and the others helped her drum up votes.
She would not have been able to win otherwise.”

What was incredulous was that even someone like Su Xiuying, who never cared much about what went on around him, also helped Gu Xi in drumming up votes.

“She was practically cheating……”

“Exactly,” Another junior girl who had just walked over chimed in as well.
“Besides, Senior Gu, I was there earlier at the rehearsal.
Gu Xi is just pretty in her photo; she was just okay in person.”

“Here, see for yourself.
I recorded a portion of it.” The person pulled out her cellphone as she talked.

In the video, there was just a piano on the entire stage.
Gu Xi stepped onto the stage, bowed, and began her performance.
Her performance was quite mediocre.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the pace change later on, her performance was entry to mid-level at best.

There was nothing else when she had finished her performance.

The others who looked over all widened their eyes.

“That’s it?”

“That’s it? The heck?”

“Tsk tsk.
A performance like that will be okay in the middle of the program.
It’s too plain to be the closing act.”

“Right?” said the junior who played the video.
“No, no.
I can’t stand these people and their rainbow farts.
I am going to upload this video.”

She wanted to help me Gu XueEr feel better.

That was what the little junior thought.

But she was stopped by Gu XueEr before she could do so.

“No, don’t do that.
One way or another, Gu Xi had spent time working on it.
We should be encouraging.”

One sentence from Gu XueEr, she was able to stop the little junior from what she was going to do and also made the others around them feel that: Senior Gu is such a nice person.

Even though the little junior did not upload the video but she couldn't help but still commented in the forum: [Just a piano performance is a bit plain, no?]

Many others chimed in and agreed with her.

[I agree that piano performance alone is a bit plain.]

[The stage looks to be a bit empty from the photo.]

[A performance like that will be fine for the beginning of the program but a bit lacking for an closing act, no?]

……

Looking at all the questioning words, Dong Mingming started to get worried.

Seeing the worried look on Dong Mingming, Gu Xi tugged at her and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry.
I am confident with regards to the stage!”

Gu Xi made it sound mysterious, but her tone was filled with confidence.

Inside the chairman’s office of NTN.

Xu Fei placed a stack of document in front of Gu Shao and said, “Chairman, these are some of activities and conferences for next week.”

Gu Shao quickly flipped through the documents and, finally, pulled out everything from Friday.

“Turn down or cancel anything on Friday,” said Gu Shao.

Xu Fei was taken aback a little when he heard that.
He asked, “You have plans on Friday, Chairman?”

Gu Shao nodded, “If it’s an important meeting, then move it to Monday or Saturday, if need be.
I am not available on Friday.”

“Okay,” said Xu Fei.
He didn’t dare to ask but he was a little curious what the chairman had going on for that day.

Afterall, with someone who was either working or on their way to work 365 days like their chairman, he had never requested an entire day to be freed up in the past.

Well, it had happened before.
The day when he went to Gu Xi to switch over her household register and transfer to a new school.

Gu Shao gave HSAU a call after Xu Fei had left, baffled.

On the phone, Gu Shao told the principal that NTN would like to sponsor a set of stage equipment for their Art Festival.
The principal was very delighted when he heard that.

It was an honored to be sponsored by NTN.
Not to mention that anything provided by NTN would either be the best or the most cutting edge in technology.

“The equipment included cameras, projector, big screen, lights, color lights, liquid nitrogen…… They will be delivered on Wednesday and we will have technicians there to help with testing and operations.”

“That’s awesome! Thank you so much, Professor Gu.” Principal Chen sounded very delighted.

Gu Shao gave the orders after the call.

Looking at his new assignment, Xu Fei was finally able to figure out what their chairman was unavailable on Friday.

“I’ll get them taken care of right away,” said Xu Fei.

“Mmm,” said Gu Shao and, before Xu Fei could take off, he stopped him once again and asked in a seemingly casual manner, “Which do you think is better for visiting the school? Suit or something more casual?”
