Chapter 147 - Busy Preparations for the School Anniversary (1/2)
Chapter 147 (Add a Sketch) Busy Preparations for the School Anniversary
The anniversary of Jifu University was approaching. It was said that during the anniversary, the seniors of every university would appear. This time, the university should assign Zhao Yuan, a sophomore year’s student and the president of the Student Union.
Chen Wanxin was very satisfied with the arrangement. Her father’s influence was remarkable indeed.
“You are very clever in this way. Let the master start contacting Zhao Yuan, do a good job in the early stage, and make Zhao Yuan unable to engage in his business.” Mo Qian laughed and praised Chen Wanxin, “But aren’t you afraid that Mo’s family forced Zhao Yuan too much to let him drop out of school?”
“Unless Mo’s family does not want this good guy. You know, Uncle Zhao’s last words are that, after graduation, if I want, let A Yuan marry me. He, first of all, is a student and has to graduate,” Chen Wanxin said with a smile.
“Fine, after you.”
Chen Wanxin, the president of the Art Association, Lin Wenxi, the president of the Literature Association, Zheng Kai, the president of the Sports Association and the presidents of other associations, held repeated consultations on the school anniversary of Jifu University with Zhao Yuan, the president of the Student Union.
It was hard for Lin Wenxi to imagine that he could calmly talk with Chen Wanxin and Zhao Yuan on the same table about the performance of the program. Of course, Chen Wanxin’s dance team was still the main part of the dance. The solo singer was Zhang An’an, who was already a little famous. And she would participate in the top eight competition of the talent show, which was well known in the school. As for the piano performances, foreign aids were invited. They were Yun Che and Zhu Ziping who had not been connected for some days. They ran the Ziyun Piano Store well. They did not seek to expand the facade, but to seek a corner. Even though it was a small piano store with five or six pianos, it became a well-known literary and artistic site. They invited the matchmaker, Lin Wenxi to help for a fee from time to time and get along very well. In addition, magic shows, acrobatic performances, sketch shows, hosts and also invited students with their own special skills.
For the decoration design, Zhou Nannan was duty-bound. They reached an agreement on the leaders’ food. Gu Xi and Shu Xiaoman were responsible for the nutritional soup of health preservation. The soup was exclusively for the leaders to enjoy.
Then, it was about finding advertisers to sponsor, the overall arrangement of school funding, props purchase, video production and so on. They had been busy for several days, and finally arranged in an orderly way.
Advertiser sponsorship of course could delay, for school funding was still adequate for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the student in charge of finance somehow was deceived and transferred a large amount of money to a strange account. The classmate in charge of finance cried all day long, and for a moment no one could suddenly give out a sum of money. Even Chen Wanxin, who had always been generous, could only make some financial preparations, and Wang Zhengjuan, because of previous accidents, almost poured money out of the home to mediate reparations, could only get a few thousand yuan. Although it was reported, it was impossible to be cleared up in a short time. It was also a series of examination and investigation to apply to the school.
For the sake of the present, they could only go to ask sponsorship right away. Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin had the most extensive communication. At this moment, they had to act separately in a hurry, but far water could not save the near fire.
When they were at a loss, Zheng Kai found the card in his dormitory. “Wenxi, would you like to have a try?”
Lin Wenxi had learned Mo Qian’s “identity” from Hong Xuan. He knew that it was a good thing for Mo Qian to be mutually beneficial. Without much hesitation, he agreed.
Mo Qian entertained Zheng Kai and Lin Wenxi in a very upscale restaurant. Mo Qian made a request that all the clothes for the masquerade party should be provided by Feiyi Garment and that its logo should be printed on it. He also asked the host to broadcast the advertisements of Feiyi for tens of seconds at the opening.
Relative to the amount of sponsorship provided by Feiyi, this requirement was not excessive. After they two went back and discussed with the public, the two sides coincided.
Feiyi was so generous. The next day after the contract was signed, a large sum of money was credited to the common account, and every link of the contract became active again. Lin Wenxi and Zheng Kai contacted about masquerade costumes in the middle of the way and exchanged several times. Boss Mo gave very detailed suggestions on clothing brand and matching requirements. He even invited the exclusive designer of the company to design with him.
“Zheng Kai, forget it. Act as a special soldier in Contra. Otherwise, the American soldier in the King of Fighters was also good.” Mo Qian only gave Zheng Kai this suggestion.
“Lin Wenxi, you are one of the most elegant people I’ve ever seen. The great patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, fits yours. Or, you could act Xu Zhimo, or Su Shi, who wrote ‘a little magnanimity, a thousand miles of wind’.” Mo Qian pondered for a while and said then, “Actually! You make up for a woman to play Diaochan, and Zheng Kai plays Lv Bu. Is it wonderful?” Mo Qian clapped his hands and laughed.
Lin Wenxi saw Mo Qian in his thirties was also so childlike, so he inevitably became intimate, laughing and saying, “How about the friend you saw when I fell into the water that day, playing Diaochan?”
Mo Qian’s eyes lit up. “Yes! I thought that it was a girl at first, and he was so pretty!”
“No, no,” Zheng Kai said, “I don’t play Lv Bu, and I can play Li Kui and Zhang Fei.”
“It’s OK for you not to play Lv Bu. After all, the cultural connotations of Lv Bu and Diaochan are not very strong. What about Farewell My Concubine? Zheng Kai can play Xiang Yu and your classmate can play Concubine Yu.” Mo Qian smiled slightly.
Lin Wenxi hadn’t felt so happy for a long time, so he gave Mo Qian a thumbs-up.
“Well, let’s decide it ourselves later,” Zheng Kai said in embarrassment.
“Just add a sketch and call it Farewell My Concubine,” Lin Wenxi said with a smile, for he really wanted to see Zheng Kai and Gu Xi still have some contact. Although Lin Wenxi was unable to know by all means of inquiries, he knew that all the pain of Gu Xi came from Zheng Kai.
Mo Qian said earnestly, “Seriously, Farewell My Concubine is one of my favorite plays. I haven’t seen it for many years. If you can really let me see the splendor of the younger generations of Jifu University, I’m also happy within.”
“We can arrange it, but we’ll find students who are good at acting,” Zheng Kai said.
“Actually, you’re good.” Mo Qian looked at Zheng Kai with amusement. “From the aspect of body and physique, you are the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty! Don’t say more. That’s settled! Today I will send someone to tailor your clothes. Wenxi, you call your classmate together. In addition, Wenxi, you can’t stand out and decide what to play by yourself!”
Zheng Kai couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. Since the sponsor spoke, he had to do it.
“Just play a sketch, You and Gu Xi don’t go to the point where you are completely isolated from each other all their lives, do you? You don’t need to hug or kiss him,” Lin Wenxi later said with a smile.
