After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 156 The Academic Superstar Concert

Jiang Liuyun fell silent. She had seen Ali before, but she had never seen Ali who could do housework...

Jiang Shu then pointed to the others:

"This Border Collie is called Abai. This bird of paradise, Mom, you can call him Chenchen. This fish is Azhan."

Li Erniang and Jiang Liuyun exchanged a glance, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.

"Shubao, are you still thinking about those five handsome guys you met at your birthday party?" Li Erniang asked worriedly. "You can't keep five pets with the same names as them..."

Jiang Shu: "I..."

Li Erniang shook her head: "What's the use of keeping a few pets? It's only a temporary solution. If you really can't let go, I'll find a chance to snatch them away, and you can play with them again tonight..."

Jiang Shu: "That's not a good idea."

“What are you afraid of? We’ll just blindfold them and have our fun all night. We’ll have our fill, and we won’t have to worry about them finding out your identity.” Li Erniang held out her hand. “Give me your phone. I’ll check their schedules and see who’s nearby.”

Jiang Shu choked for a moment, which was rare: "There's no need for that. Besides, with their status, it would cost a lot of money to clean up the mess."

Just cleaning up after Li Yubai, one shopping trip alone cost her two-thirds of her savings...

With more people and more visits, Jiang Shu felt that she would eventually die on the road to earning money by working.

She quickly changed the subject: "Mom, Auntie, come inside! Let me show you my acceptance letter!"

She pulled Jiang Liuyun and the other person into the house.

Soon, Jiang Shu's smug voice rang out from inside the room:
"Let me tell you, directors make a lot of money and are very powerful!"

"You know Xu Zhao, right? He's acted in a lot of fantasy dramas and idol dramas. He invited me to dinner twice. Your daughter's connections now are something most people can't compare to..."

"This admission notice was delivered personally by the principal. He even said I was born for this, and that it's only a matter of time before I become a big star! While others are still struggling with how to choose their universities, your daughter has already set sail. Isn't that amazing?"

……

After discussion between Jiang Liuyun and Li Erniang, Jiang Shu's graduation banquet was scheduled for the day after Yan Yu Jiangcheng's concert.

On Saturday morning, the entire internet was ignited by a message:
"Yan Yu Graduation Season Special Concert will kick off next Wednesday night!"

"Jiangcheng Gymnasium, top students of China, we'll see you there!"

At the same time, the top 200 students in each province showed off the exquisite concert tickets they received and the round-trip airfare given by the organizer, Tianlai Studio!
And they posted cool messages on their respective Weibo accounts:
I'm not a celebrity chaser, nor am I a fan of Yan Yu. My idols are only top scientists in various fields! But from today onwards, I declare, I love Yan Yu!

[I'm just a top student, how could I be favored by Yan Yu, the academic genius who was once popular in various universities, and have a concert held for me? I'm getting a little cocky, what should I do?]

[Jiangcheng! Here I come! After countless failed attempts to snag tickets to Yan Yu's concert, I never imagined I'd actually make my dream come true in this way! Indeed, learning is the shortcut to success!]

[The top scorer in Hebei Province with 726 points signs in!]

[Jiangxi Province's top scorer with 718 points signs in!]

[Chen Qinghe, a student admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities through the guaranteed admission program and a gold medalist in the Global Physics Olympiad, has checked in!]

[Tang Xiao, a student admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities through the guaranteed admission program and a gold medalist in the Global Mathematical Olympiad, has checked in!]

[Sun Xian, who scored 725 points and became the top scorer in Shanxi Province, and the winner of the 21st National Computer Programming Gold Medal, has checked in!]

……

Following this, the Li Group officially announced that Chairman Li Yubai will attend the concert and provide a scholarship of 100,000 yuan to each top student!
Weibo exploded! Countless posts flooded Li's Group and Tianlai Studio!
[Graduates come every year, but why are you only holding a concert this year, Yan Yu?! I'm going crazy! I have money and I'm willing to pay a high price for tickets. Which top student would be willing to give up their spot?! Please!]

[Holy crap! When it comes to money, the richest person in the capital has to be the richest! 100,000 yuan per person, and nearly 8,000 top students from various provinces, that's... 800 million! Wow! I'm so envious!] [A concert for top students, sob sob, I feel ashamed to even show up at the concert entrance.]

[One point short! I was just one point away from making it into the top 200, I feel like crying...]

……

Amidst the frenzied online discussions, countless top students from all over the country boarded planes and, accompanied by their families, headed to Wuhan!

In Jiangcheng, the Education Bureau and the Culture and Sports Bureau mobilized all their staff to begin preparations for the upcoming concert.

On Monday, the senior class of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School held its closing ceremony.

When Jiang Shu arrived at the classroom of Class 27 in the third year of high school with her backpack, the atmosphere in the whole classroom was very lively.

As the students took turns giving their graduation speeches, Zhou Houde stood at the door, his smile a mixture of bittersweetness and relief.

"I'm Zhang Mai, the stingiest underachiever in Class 27 of Senior Three! If you asked me what my biggest regret is, three days ago, I would have told you it was that I went way off-topic in my essay! But now, it's that I missed Yan Yu's concert again..."

"I, Lin Shuangshuang, am about to go abroad for further studies. I believe that at our class reunion in a few years, I will have become a rising star in the music industry, the one closest to the legendary Yan Yu. Hehe, don't be envious..."

"Twelve students from the top class have made it into the top 200 in the province, and lately they've been acting really arrogant in front of me! They even deliberately stuck Yan Yu's concert tickets on their clothes and flaunt them every day! I'm so angry! So angry that I want to repeat a year! But our homeroom teacher, Zhou Houde, told me that I'm already number one in our class, and I should quit while I'm ahead, sob sob sob... But I'm so angry!"

……

Jiang Shu sat in her seat and secretly asked Qin Dou, "Are they really envious of Yan Yu's tickets?"

Qin Dou lowered his voice: "Don't be fooled by the fact that you've already given me a stack; I'm envious of this unprecedented academic superstar theme!"

Xu Yan, sitting in the front row, suddenly turned her head, her eyes full of expectation: "Xiao Shu, with your relationship with the great god... cough cough! You could probably get one or two, right?"

Jiang Shu gently tapped the table: "One or two? That won't do."

Then, she picked up her backpack and stepped onto the stage: "Are you envious of the top student's concert?"

The audience responded in unison, "Of course! We're drooling!"

"Wouldn't you like to stick tickets on your clothes and show off your power on campus?"

"Jiang Shu, you want to use force to help us steal it? I don't recommend it... You just graduated and have a bright future ahead of you, it's not worth acting impulsively!"

Jiang Shu opened her backpack: "My family's financial situation is limited, so I can't invite everyone to the graduation banquet. Therefore, I brought a gift for each classmate."

"Red radish? Or some fresh wild vegetables?"

Jiang Shu: "Gold."

After saying that, he took out a thick stack of glittering gold tickets from his bag...

The whole class stood up in shock!
"Impossible, it must be fake. I saw those top students had blue ones on their clothes, what the heck is that gold one..."

"Concert tickets, prime seats, only our class gets them!" Jiang Shu lazily tossed them to the students in the first row. "Distribute them. Remember to give the teacher two copies, and bring his wife!"

After a few seconds of silence, the entire Class 27 erupted in screams...

Just then, a top student placed his ticket in the most conspicuous spot outside the door and strolled leisurely past the entrance to Class 27.

"Have these people gone mad from unrequited love?"
