Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 242 Registration Open

Tang Wan can't sing, or rather, she's tone-deaf; in short, she doesn't sound good.

The singing wasn't good, but the voice was nice.

Xia An clapped every time she sang, as if listening to celestial music.

Tang Wan sang "The Fruits of Summer," "Love Is Just One Word," and their love song "Girl, Don't Panic." Tang Wan got really into it, singing, drinking, and dancing, and even pulled Xia An to dance along.

Xia An didn't even wear socks, just slippers and pajamas. The two of them danced tango and other unfamiliar dance steps, jumping around randomly and yelling into the microphone.

The mall manager outside told the KTV manager, who wasn't from his own company, to go sleep in a guest room, while he stood guard outside. He was sleepy, it was noisy, but he was also very excited.

He knew that after tonight, his future would be bright.

Tang Wan felt it was boring to sing with only two people, so Xia An suggested calling in the mall manager as well. Tang Wan gave a thumbs up and agreed.

The young male manager stood ramrod straight at the door, like a security guard. When Tang Wan came out to call him, he could hardly believe his ears. He declined twice, then rolled up his sleeves and went inside.

Spending a pleasant night with two big bosses was the most important task of his life!
Xia An hugged him and asked him his name.

Then he handed him the bottle and said, "Xiao Liu, bottoms up! Don't panic, it's just for fun!"

Xiao Liu swished three bottles in one go.

When Xiao Liu sang his favorite song, President Xia and President Tang cheered him on enthusiastically.

Xiao Liu sang even more energetically.

Tang Wan had already sung all the songs on the playlist, and now she wanted to hear Xia An's original compositions.

Xia An hugged her and kissed her, then said okay.

Xiao Liu wished he were blind, as he was terrified that he would be silenced.

Xia An called out to him, "Xiao Liu, do you have a guitar?"

Xiao Liu nodded and said he would go get it right away.

It has to be there. Even if it's not there, we have to smash up the music store on the first floor.

Xiao Liu brought his guitar and tactfully made a quick escape to the bathroom.

Xia An sat in front of the microphone with her guitar in her arms and began to sing slowly.

They were singing "Peach Blossom Promise".

...

As time goes by, I wonder what year it is tonight?
With hearts in harmony, I hope our unwavering devotion will endure through the years.
In the blink of an eye, how many times have flowers bloomed and faded?
The entanglements and bonds of this lifetime have touched my heartstrings.

Will we meet again in the next life?

Leaving a peach blossom as a memento, to end this fleeting life's destiny.

My longing is still etched in my eyes.
An inch of soil yields a year's worth of trees; a flower, a tree, a greedy heart.
Love is a kind of affection, but it blooms on the wrong path.

Forget the road ahead, forget the old things, forget your heart, forget you, forget the beginning.

Mottled marks remain on the path of loving you.

...

After he finished singing, Tang Wan ran over with a bottle of red wine, hugged him, and kissed him passionately.

The connections between people are like two parallel lines. If the connection is shallow, they will meet at a certain point in time, and then separate and never meet again.

When the bond is deep, we will gradually draw closer until we overlap, and from then on, we will be intertwined and inseparable.

How difficult it is to find someone you love to the extreme!

It is said that deep affection is short-lived and that things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes, but Xia An does not believe it. Apart from life and death, he cannot think of any reason to separate from them.

Tang Xiaowan lay on the sofa, her head resting on Xia An's legs, and fell asleep.

As she slept, Miss Tang looked like a little kitten being cuddled by its owner, her eyelashes fluttering and a smile playing on her lips, so sweet it could melt anyone's heart.

When Tang Wan woke up, she found herself sleeping in her own bed.

Xia An was instructing Zhou Zhou on the first floor.

Last night, she was so engrossed in sleeping that she neglected her duties and allowed Tang Wan to slip out.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Tang Wan glanced at the stern Xia An with a smile, her heart filled with sweetness.

After the Qingming Festival holiday, the three of them returned to school in one car, followed by Huang Yingying and her group.

Actually, they were following us all night, but they just didn't show up.

I didn't invite them to sing because it's against the rules to drink alcohol; it wouldn't be fun.

On the highway, Xia An told Tang Wan that since they were going to school, they should enjoy campus life.

People always play different roles at different times and in different situations. Just enjoy it and don't leave any regrets.

Wang Yue also went back to her hometown for the holiday. Le Ning, who stayed at school to rehearse diligently, was too embarrassed to disturb Li Xiaoru and Lu Fei, who were on their honeymoon, and spent the time playing with Su Yi.

The strategist and the allies deepened their friendship.

After Tang Wan returned, the group became a quartet again, occasionally accompanied by Wang Yue.

Lu Fei reported to Xia An on the week's results of the Xianyu secondhand store.

Not bad.

From small soap dishes to large electric fans, students, upon hearing about this business on campus, flocked to consign their unwanted and broken items. The business model was simple and straightforward: they took 30% of the sale price, and received nothing if the item didn't sell.

Driven by curiosity, the initial flow of visitors was enormous, and all sorts of things, both interesting and trivial, were sold.

Xia An secretly thought that this situation wouldn't last long. If he really wanted to make money, he would have to rely on online platforms. But worried about discouraging Lu Fei, he chose not to say anything.

Graduation is still a long way off, let Lu Hanhan have fun. We'll help him set up an online platform after graduation.

Lu Fei told Xia An that this business had broadened his horizons.

"Oh?"

"You've even gained some expertise from collecting scrap?" Xia An asked curiously, asking him what he meant.

"Many guys have privately asked me if I sell secondhand underwear and socks. They really want to buy them, but they want girls' socks. I think people's hearts are like a black hole, you can't see through them."

Xia An rubbed her forehead, rolled her eyes, and gestured a "six" to him.

He then winked and asked, "So, did you take those things?"

Lu Fei's face turned purple instantly: "Why would I accept that thing? Xiao Ru can't even fit into it."

Xia An: "..."

The assignment for the first semester's major course has been given: to photograph light lines.

The teacher said that students with cameras could borrow each other's, and those who didn't could borrow one from the equipment room.

Lighting, lines...

The students approached Xia An and asked if they could wait until the middle of the month when "Supernova" came to the school for auditions, so they could all go and film the stage performances.

Yes, this year's "Supernova" talent show is supported by Xia An and Tangshi Group, making it an unprecedented event.

A total of 21 major cities across the country set up audition stages, divided into 7 competition areas, with the auditions mostly taking place around university towns in each city.

Binhai University is the only venue in Binhai City and the competition will be held at the Grand Stadium.

At that time, contestants from the entire city, including several surrounding counties and cities, will flock to the school.

There was no other reason than that Tang Wan and Xia An were both there.

With the competition approaching, the school has begun processing its fire safety permits, and Xia An has given all the corresponding supporting service facilities, including snacks, drinks, and other miscellaneous profit-making items, to the school.

Many people secretly inquired with Xia An whether any celebrities would be invited to be judges during the auditions.

Of course there will be.

They pressed for details about who it was.

Xia An smiled mysteriously without saying a word.

The judging panel for the preliminary rounds has been finalized, and the 108 finalists for the national competition will be guided by six renowned mentors in singing, dancing, and songwriting.

During the preliminary selection process, most of the big names were in a fluid state, going wherever the opportunity presented itself.

Of course, everyone will definitely take a stroll along the coast.

At midnight on April 8th, with the song "Bubble" being featured on Kuwo Music and Weibo, it surpassed five million downloads and over thirteen million plays in just twelve hours.

Jing Yun appeared out of nowhere.

On April 9th, the terms "Jing Yun" and "Foam" entered the top five of Weibo's trending topics list.

On April 10th, posters of the brand ambassador, Jing Yun, were displayed in candy stores nationwide.

At this point, everyone knew who Jing Yun's backer was—a resource-rich person. But there was nothing they could do; her talent and image were also top-notch.

On April 11, Jing Yun's past, which had been downplayed and embellished, was unearthed by "interested individuals," causing the topic to garner a surge in clicks.

On April 12, Jing Yun made her first public appearance in front of the media, stating that she has always been a singer who loves music. She had just gone abroad to study for a period of time. Now that she is returning to the stage, she hopes to receive everyone's support and promises to release more works that everyone will like.

Her image is a blend of grandeur and gentleness, with a refined and elegant demeanor, making her incredibly popular with audiences.

That evening, Jing Yun sent Xia An a message: Thank you.

Liu Fei and Liu Xiao also sent the same two words.

On April 16, after a week of settling in, "Bubble" broke into the top ten of various music charts, and its popularity remained high.

On the morning of the 17th, Jing Yun's second single, "Never Say Goodbye," was released and immediately topped the charts in popularity.

Compared to the previous song, "Never Say Goodbye" is more likely to resonate with the hearts of many young people who love literature and art, as it is more understated and lacks a dramatic climax.

On April 20th, Hunan TV and Guolan Weibo jointly announced the mentor lineup for the 2007 ultimate talent show, "Supernova Star Making Season".

Following Jay Chou, Twins' Charlene Choi (Ah Sa), Harlem Yu, Wilber Pan, and Sun Nan, Jing Yun became one of only two mainland Chinese artists and one of only two female mentors.

At this point, everyone knew that Jing Yun had already reached the pinnacle of her career upon her debut.

On the evening of April 21st, Guolan Weibo, Mango.com, and Pilipala video website simultaneously opened online registration channels for the preliminary selection, four days ahead of the offline process.

According to statistics, within just one hour of registration opening at 9 p.m. that day, the number of people registering online nationwide exceeded 350,000.

Of course, many of these people do not meet the registration requirements. For example, those who are over thirty years old will be disqualified later.

Binhai University alone received more than 700 applications.

Everyone came over to ask Xia An what the requirements for advancing were.

"Holy crap, what could they possibly be? Either they sing and dance well, or they're good-looking."
