Chapter 111
“Rong Yue! The results are out already on the website and our school portal,” Wu Hao said excitedly, Rong Yue who had just finished the meeting with the architect and was feeling slightly tired frowned slightly. Not only had the call woken her up, Wu Hao’s talking voice was quite loud, making her frown in vexation.
“I’m coming to you now, we would talk when we get there,” she said and then hung up!
As for Lu San, he was angry on her behalf after all, Rong Yue’s mother had complained about her staying up all night working on some paper so he was hoping she could get some sleep and was driving slowly and yet one call had disrupted all his plans.
“Stop by some cafe where I can get something to drink,” she told Lu San before closing her eyes back.
While Rong Yue didn’t bother about the result, City A high school had blown up with the uploading the result.
“Sister Rong has gotten us the best results this year,” Sun Li said excitedly, since she was the only one in their group around in school, she was even more excited and wanted to flaunt the most.
“Wu Hao did even better than Rong Yue! He must have studied really hard,” someone commented in awe.
Since they had started high school. Rong Yue was the top scorer for all these years. Not one paper had missed or anything gone wrong with her scores.
.....
To see that Wu Hao had beaten her this one time was really surprising after all, he was always behind her and not by a few marks also.
“Tch, I told you all she was getting too proud, yet you wouldn’t believe me, isn’t this a proof?” Tong Yang said as she smiled in ridicule.
Although being in the top 30 was impressive and meant the both of them could get to the next round, Rong Yue and Wu Hao had both been in the bottom twenty five which meant they were definitely going to drop in the next round.
But that alone was enough for City A high school teachers and principals.
“Tong Yang, your grades are in the lower middle here in class and yet you can still attack people that came from top cities in our province and was still able to rank in the top thirty out of more than a hundred students. You are purely evil!” Someone scolded making Tong Yang’s face flush red.
“All of you are blinded by beauty and can’t see what is wrong,” she yelled as she jumped up and ran out of the class.
“Don’t mind her, she just jealous of Rong Yue, when has our school entered top 100 in the last province,” someone said as they happily went to weibo to brag about their school students, of course the post wouldn’t make any waves, after all, it was hard to make people pay attention to the bottom rankers in an examination.
Sun Li felt like Rong Yue hadn’t used all of her study capabilities and defended her “when sister Rong did revision questions for some topics, in the college examination I was able to do it well, I’m sure that if she reads more, she might be able even pass the next round, we can’t let someone like Tong Yang make us feel less happy at what they had done,” she said.
Her words were the thoughts of many people and they nodded in agreement.
If they had any idea of how Rong Yue had left the exam hall with more than hour left, perhaps they would spit out blood!
As for the person they were talking about, she was seeping on the chilled milkshake that Lu San had gotten her. Although the snacks wasn’t as nice as all the ones that Qin Yichen usually got for her, it was still manageable.
As she thought to that point, she suddenly wondered what he was up to, after all, if he was here, she wouldn’t even have to make a request for the drink before he would have ordered something for her.
A warm feeling filled her heart as she thought about him, yet, she resisted picking up her phone and calling him.
As soon as they arrived at the library Wu Hao usually studied, Lu San parked the car in a safe spot while Rong Yue calmly finished her milkshake and pie before getting down.
“You can go ahead and check how things are going in the production warehouse, I would meet you there,” she told him knowing that he would want to wait.
“How will you get there?”
“I’ll get a cab or have Wu Hao’s driver bring me,” she said and got down.
Lu San waited for her enter the library before driving off.
“You are here!” Wu Hao said excitedly as he stood up as soon as Rong Yue entered.
“Congratulations,” Rong Yue said perfunctorily as she sat down.
“How much effort did you put?” To her this was the most important part, after all, this was just like a small test, the important thing was the main finals.
She wanted him to stand tall and show his family that he was not an embarrassment.
“Although the college entrance examination questions were tough, they are a bit different from these ones, here it has different countries style so I’m not sure but I think that I already used about 51% of my strength for this, I will study harder and try to make up the gap.
While he would have placed in top three if he used his full strength, the competition they were going to face ahead were also not weak, he understood that his grades was not enough for him to take down those other opponents.
“Okay, I’ll prepare some questions for you, study diligently, also allow your brain to be occupied with other things, that way you are developing other areas of your brain,” Rong Yue advised.
Other than studying, the only thing that Wu Hao enjoyed doing was music, however, there was no path for him there so he was focused on his studies only.
As if she was reading his mind, Rong Yue spoke up.
“I have a proposition for you, if you agree, you will be the manager and the first artiste. If you don’t, you can forget about it and tell me if you need my help with anything you like,”
Wu Hao looked at her and sobered up as he felt that her tone had become a lot more serious.
“I want to enter the entertainment industry, however, my entertainment company is not going to be the regular one as it would be more focused on dominating the internet and technology. But I’ll also hope to train artists that would be able to promote these things as it grows.”
Although she didn’t like to talk much, when it came to matters like this, Rong Yue didn’t hold back.
“So you want me to play and sing without showing my face?” Wu Hao asked, excitement growing in his eyes.
“Yes, but that’s not the major thing you would be doing, you have a good eye at reading people, since you want to learn business management, forget about what your family has to offer and let’s build one together.” She paused, gauging his reaction and after seeing that there was no resistance, she continued again.
“While you will play online, I can also help you writing your songs, but your major role in the company would be scouting for talents. When you find a talent that’s good enough, I’ll draw up a plan for what suits them the most. For now, we can stick to just you and one more artist, later on, we would focus on growing more and getting more managers...”
Like this, Rong Yue spent the next one hour explaining what she thought to Wu Hao who was already sold by the idea.
“Rong Yue, I’m interested, is there a contract we need to sign or is there anything you need me to get started on?” He asked excitedly.
“Hmmm, pick an artiste name and create a profile, when you are done, send a recording of you playing a song and singing to me, I’ll tell you what needs to be changed, after that, we would do a proper recording and you can then release it,”
Wu Hao nodded without any resistance.
“I’ll do as you have said,” although he expected that before they got to that point, it would take a while, he had no idea that Rong Yue had it all planned out.
Currently, a style like this wasn’t common yet, people were also just jumping on many social media sites. At the moment, it was the first person to come that would take all the spoils of the day.
More importantly, to her, she just wanted this to be a way that Wu Hao also fulfilled his music dreams without having to go through the industry dirty water. Later on, if he wanted to reveal his face, she was not going to hold him back.
“Okay, I have other matters to handle, I’ll be leaving now,” she told him and then left.
Wu Hao watched her retreating back and sighed. Even though he had understood that he couldn’t stand beside her in the way he wanted to, he was determined to work hard so that he wasn’t only looking at her from afar.
