Chapter 405 Calling the Future Mother-in-Law

However, thankfully, the teachers in the school's Youth League Committee were good-natured.

He glanced at Chen Luyang and said with a half-smile, "What you said makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?"

Chen Luyang, ever the opportunist, immediately nodded: "That's exactly the point."

"Teacher, what do you think of our program? Could you give us some pointers?"

Give me pointers, my foot!

The teacher from the school's Youth League Committee glanced at Chen Luyang.

It's already a miracle that they didn't criticize what happened today to the department; how dare they ask for guidance!

But...

The show is indeed a good show!
The word is indeed a good word!

"Your script is good, but the stage direction is monotonous and lacks a sense of space."

The school's Youth League Committee teacher kindly reminded them.

"Although the performance in the corridor was very impressive, you didn't make the most of the limited space on the stage, which was a huge waste."

“It’s good that the team has energy, but having momentum alone is not enough to get on the big stage.”

"You have to make it structured, and you need to create a sense of variation within a limited space."

……

After hearing this, Chen Luyang was moved...

He had just asked that question casually, never expecting the teacher from the Youth League Committee to point out his shortcomings and faults.

But who would have thought that the school's Youth League Committee teacher would spot the problem at a glance?
They even actually pointed out the flaws.

"Teacher, the shortcomings you mentioned are indeed areas where we fall short."

Chen Luyang sincerely said, "We have already invited students from the dance academy to provide formation guidance, and we guarantee that everyone will be satisfied on the day of the performance!"

The teacher from the school's Youth League Committee looked slightly displeased: "We have students from the affiliated high school in our Peking University Arts Department. They know how to dance and form formations. Do we really need to ask outside help for something as simple as choreographing a clapper talk?"

"Besides, Da Kuaiban is a folk art form, so don't make it too fancy and go astray."

Chen Luyang hadn't expected this Youth League teacher to be so principled, so she quickly spoke up:

"Teacher, I understand what you mean. We just want the students from Beijing Dance Academy to help us check the formation, revise the movements, and correct the rhythm."

"We'd like to ask some students from the school's arts department to help us out, but we really don't know any... If it's convenient for you, teacher, could you tell me a few names? I'll contact them right away!"

The teachers from the school's Youth League Committee looked at Chen Luyang and realized that this student was quite cunning.

Although his words sounded nice, in the end he was still asking him to find students to help them with rehearsals.

The school's Youth League Committee teachers wouldn't do them a favor!
"If you don't know anyone in the Arts and Literature Department, join the Student Union and find them yourself. If you want to find someone, go find them yourself!"

Chen Luyang chuckled: "Teacher, then we'll have to find students from the Beijing Dance Academy!"

The two sharp-eyed people were chatting and laughing over here.

The drama club students were unhappy.

"Teacher, Luo Guang and Li Zhen are still on stage," a girl from the drama club couldn't help but remind them.

The Youth League teacher glanced down at his watch and said:

"The Youth League Committee has a meeting in a bit. Xiaolei, you guys go back and practice 'Red Crag' some more. We'll do another review later when it's ready for the final audit."

“But…” Li Xiaolei from the Chinese Department wanted to say something more, but the Youth League Committee teacher had already left with her notebook.

Seeing that the disruption was complete,

Chen Luyang deliberately brought up the topic, as if afraid the other person wouldn't remember their class's performance, and shouted at the teacher:
"Teacher, we are the Economics Department Class 1's big fast-paced storytelling performance. Please come and support us at the welcome party!"

The teacher from the school's Youth League Committee rolled her eyes silently and left without turning her head.

And on the other side,
The school's Youth League Committee teacher in charge of reviewing the welcome party also came out of the large rehearsal room with a dark expression.

There's no way around it; everyone has to attend the school's Youth League Committee meeting.

He is also included.

"Your economics department is really impressive. In all my years of reviewing programs, this is the first time I've ever seen a performance suddenly extend into the hallway."

Chen Luyang shamelessly said, "Teacher, we really wanted to go on stage! There wasn't enough room on the stage in the rehearsal hall, so we went to the corridor."

The teacher from the school's Youth League Committee, who was in charge of reviewing the welcome party, looked at me with a "I don't believe you" expression and turned to leave.

Seeing the teacher leave,

Chen Luyang sidled up to the senior student from the Literature and Art Department and asked with a sly smile:
"Senior, did our program get selected?"

The senior student from the Arts and Literature Department strictly adhered to work regulations: "You can go back and wait for further instructions."

Chen Luyang couldn't wait any longer.

Although he rationally analyzed that his program would definitely be selected, what if!
The whole class worked so hard to rehearse.
If he can't get elected here, he'll think of other ways to get Da Kuai Ban on stage.

"Senior, could you just tell me secretly?"

Chen Luyang's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Ever since meeting Chen Jinyue, the "Peach Blossom Eyes" ultimate move, which has been used for a long time, has finally reappeared in the martial arts world at this moment!

ah……?
The senior student from the Literature and Art Department blushed instantly when she was caught off guard by those beautiful eyes.

"Senior, I promise I won't tell anyone. Just tell me, okay?"

Chen Luyang grew up under the tyranny of her mother and sister. When it comes to being spoiled, she is the ancestor of Xiaoling and Junjun!
Junjun's cute and charming tricks were all learned from his uncle since he was a child.

Especially when it comes to acting cute towards her older sister,
Chen Luyang considers himself second to none in the world, and no one dares to claim to be number one!

Chen Luyang clearly has the appearance of a tough and rugged northern man.
But his eyes were both expressive and reserved.

When someone stares at you like that, it doesn't feel annoying at all; instead, it makes you blush, feel shy and embarrassed.

Even though he knew perfectly well that he was deliberately trying to gather information,

But the upright and principled senior from the Literature and Art Department secretly nodded and whispered:

"You've been selected."

As she spoke, the senior from the Arts and Literature Department secretly glanced at the program list in her hand and quickly showed it to Chen Luyang.

After spotting the little checkmark after "Reform and Opening Up Disco" above!
Chen Luyang's goal achieved!
His eyes sparkled with laughter once more as he gave the senior from the Literature and Art Department a gentle smile.

"Thank you, senior!"

"It's okay."

The girl from the Arts Department said something, couldn't help but glance at Chen Luyang's face again, then turned and went into the rehearsal hall to continue reviewing the program.

Ugh……

Chen Luyang sighed softly.

This is a despicable and shameless act, but it is undeniably effective.

It's hard to be a person...

It's even harder to be a man who is so handsome and talented...

Upon receiving the news that she had been selected for the program, Chen Luyang was preparing to lead her classmates away to find a place to celebrate and have a class dinner.

As it turned out, they ran right into "Xu Yunfeng" and his group walking out of the small rehearsal room with dark faces.

"You're quite the attention-grabber, aren't you? You're practically clapping your clappers into the Youth League Committee teacher's office." "Xu Yunfeng" sneered.

Chen Luyang laughed: "Does the limelight come from stealing it? Didn't it just come to you on its own?"

“We were performing in the hallway, and you guys were the ones who opened the door to come and watch! If you’re so capable, why don’t you attract people to come in and watch the rehearsal too!”

Looking at Xu Yunfeng's dark face,

Chen Luyang brandished her clappers: "Let's go, the heat's died down, time to pack up and leave!" The economics students were thoroughly exasperated last time because of the classroom-grabbing incident.

Not only did they turn the tables this time, they also disrupted the other side's performance before they even finished their show's review process. Everyone felt relieved and satisfied!

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

A group of people happily packed up their clappers and left the corridor.

That afternoon, Chen Luyang led a group of students from the Economics Department to a large table in the Minzu Building cafeteria.

Although the Ethnic Minorities Building is a canteen and dormitory building set up by the school to accommodate students in ethnic minority classes and children of ethnic minority cadres, it is also used to receive foreign guests, experts and scholars, and important school events, making it a "semi-open high-end canteen".

Two days before the program rehearsal, Chen Luyang had already booked a large table at the Minzu Building to treat her classmates to a good meal.

"This ethnic minority building looks almost exactly like a state-run restaurant!"

A group of people walked into the ethnic minority building with great fanfare.

Sun Legen glanced at the faded blue curtains hanging on the window, then at the large slogan "Unity is Strength" on the wall, and finally looked down at the dark red plastic tablecloth covering the round table. The more he looked, the more it resembled a state-run restaurant.

"Literature Committee, this meal can't be cheap, can it?" Gao Xiaolin and several other girls sat at the table and said.
"I heard that the Computer Science Department once spent nearly 20 yuan on a meal here!"

Chen Luyang gestured for everyone to take their seats, and said with a smile, "I just earned some money from writing an article a few days ago, so I thought I'd treat everyone to a meal to celebrate!"

As they were talking, dishes from the Minzu Building were brought out one after another.

Braised beef, pilaf, baked buns, sweet and sour carp, dry-fried green beans, stewed chicken with potatoes, stir-fried lamb with scallions...

Everyone was stunned.

“Wenwei, these are all hearty dishes you ordered!” Feng Tiesheng said with a smile.

"Are these dishes enough for your royalties?!"

Chen Luyang chuckled and said, "That's enough! If it's not enough, I've already told the cafeteria I'll wash dishes and sell myself to pay off the debt!"

They're really poor right now.
A case of Arctic Ocean soda and a case of mini champagne were also brought up.

Chen Luyang quickly called out, "Everyone, drink whatever you want! If you're not full, we'll get more! Today, every single one of you has to walk in standing up and walk out holding onto the wall!"

"If a few people don't throw up after eating, then this meal hasn't been properly eaten!"

Tao Runze's eyebrows twitched. He looked at the large table of elaborate dishes with lingering fear, and subconsciously touched his stomach.
"Xiao Chen, we all understand your eagerness."

"But it's easy for you to throw up from drinking, but it's too difficult to throw up from eating..."

How big would that stretch be!
Chen Luyang waved her hand dismissively: "That's no problem! After we finish eating, we'll take the bus to the Summer Palace!"

Before everyone could respond happily,

Chen Luyang's single sentence shattered everyone's response!
"After a good meal, a car ride and a leisurely stroll can make you throw up a few times."

(Proud) and (intelligent)!
Everyone:...

It turns out!

Tao Runze and the others underestimated their appetite.

The large table of food was devoured by the economics students in a flash.

We were full, and we were so full we could barely stand.

It's a pity that no one vomited.

Although they didn't end up going to the Summer Palace, they still had a happy stroll around the school before returning to their rooms.

Go to study when you should, go to bed when you should.

Instead, the chubby guy went out to find his girlfriend, bringing in outside help for the department.

Chen Luyang glanced down at his watch and said to Tao Runze and the others:

"Boss, you guys go back first, I'm going to make a phone call home."

finished,

Chen Luyang ran to the school's phone booth, paid the fee, and instinctively wanted to call her boyfriend.

He hadn't seen Chen Jinyue for almost a month and missed her terribly.

I'd only dialed two numbers when suddenly...!

Chen Luyang's fingers paused!
As Chairman Mao said, when doing things, we must grasp the main contradiction.

Your partner is important, but your mother-in-law is even more important!

If I could manage to appease and win over my mother-in-law...

That's equivalent to appeasing and winning over both your partner and your father-in-law.

We absolutely have to place one of our own people in Chen Jinyue's house!

Time is limited!

Without hesitation, Chen Luyang dialed her mother's number again!
……

Provincial Hospital

As Mrs. Chen was tidying up her medical records, a young doctor knocked on the door and came in, saying:

"Director Chen, you have a phone call."

"My phone? Who is it?!"

When Chen's mother heard someone looking for her, she put the medical records on the table into the filing cabinet, locked them, and followed the young doctor out.

"Hello? This is Chen Zhibao. Who is looking for me?"

"Auntie, I'm Chen Luyang!"

A familiar voice came from the microphone, and Chen's mother's eyes widened in surprise.

"Xiao Chen?? Why are you calling my workplace?!"

Chen's mother was worried: "How are you doing studying and living in Pian'er Town? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Chen's mother's sensitive emotions were instantly aroused!

Chen Luyang calling me out of the blue, I can't be sure what's wrong.

"Tell Auntie what's wrong with you! Auntie has a few friends in Pian'er Town."

"No no!"

Chen Luyang's anxious voice came through the microphone.

"Auntie, I'm doing very well in Pian'er City! I just haven't seen you in a long time, so I'm calling to say hello."

"Oh? Really?" Mrs. Chen was still not quite convinced.

"Really! I'm really great." Chen Luyang almost spat out his saliva while explaining.

"Now the department has added an open course for me, which I can teach to students, and they even pay me for the lecture."

Chen's mother was shocked: "...You're lecturing at Peking University?"

Chen Luyang quickly replied, "Not only did I give lectures, but my lecture notes were also printed and distributed as internal materials, and I even received royalties!"

Chen's mother was shocked: "...You're writing textbooks at Peking University?"

Chen Luyang said with some pride, "It's not really writing textbooks~ By the way, the philosophy department also asked me to join the original text translation group to write textbooks, but I refused because I thought they wanted me to be an intern translator."

Chen's mother was shocked: "...You rejected the original text translation team from the Philosophy Department of Peking University?"

Chen Luyang felt wronged: "Aunt Chen, I already don't have enough time. I could accept it if they let me join the original work translation team as a full member."

"How could I possibly have time to be their intern translator!"

"But the philosophy department gave me a certificate to audit classes. I am now attending classes with third-year philosophy students. When I become a sophomore, I can write a thesis with this year's philosophy students and get my philosophy degree."

Chen's mother was shocked: "...You actually managed to get a philosophy degree?!"
