So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1301 - Performance

Chapter 1301: Performance

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
” Oh? You mean, Yang Ming has a connection with the police?” asked Huang Youcai.
“This is hard to say, but I suddenly remembered one thing,” said the behind-the-scenes boss. “In the beginning, one of my collaborators had to flee and leave Song Jiang due to Yang Ming joining forces with the Song Jiang police.”
“You mean, Yang Ming may be from the police’s side? Isn’t this impossible?” Huang Youcai was a little surprised to hear it from the behind-the-scenes boss. “He is just a college student.”
” Hmph , there are more things that are impossible. Yang Ming is a college student on the surface, but for the identity behind him, at least, I know of another one…” The behind-the-scenes boss sneered, “We also need to be cautious in investigating this matter. It might even get us involved.”
Huang Youcai looked at the behind-the-scenes boss with his brows furrowed. He didn’t anticipate Yang Ming’s connection with the police. He used to think of Yang Ming as a college student, so he didn’t consider other factors, but now listening to the behind-the-scenes boss, Huang Youcai was lost in thought.
He didn’t know what the other identity the behind-the-scenes boss referred to. Since the behind-the-scenes boss didn’t say it, then Huang Youcai wouldn’t ask. The two were just cooperating. He wasn’t the behind-the-scenes boss’ confidant. Some words could be said, but other words could not be said. Huang Youcai wasn’t a nosy person. Since the behind-the-scenes boss was not willing to say it, then he wouldn’t ask.
However, the words of behind-the-scenes boss really inspired him; that was, Yang Ming might have other identities. He could actually participate in a case with the police, then he should have an honorary police identity at the very least. With that, it was reasonable that the Mount Jing Police did not take any measures against him.
It was just that Huang Youcai was not reconciled. Every time his plan looked perfect and impeccable, in the end, it became worthless because of a small mistake. With that, his status and speaking rights in front of the behind-the-scenes boss would be weakened, which was not what Huang Youcai would like to see.
The behind-the-scenes boss originally arranged for Alice to become a classmate of Yang Ming. He did not expect Huang Youcai to succeed in this plan. In fact, he did have hope, but he didn’t have much confidence in it.
In the long-term confrontation with Yang Ming, one could stumble across the justification that Yang Ming always unexpectedly achieved some surprises which disturbed his plan.
For example, when he wanted to kill Wang Xiaoyan, this kid appeared at the wrong time, and it happened more than once! The first time was in Macau. It would be fine if it were a coincidence. The second time was in Wang Xiaoyan’s villa, where he lost one of his own generals, putting the behind-the-scenes boss in endless distress.
The thief incident was intended to cause Yang Ming a significant setback, but he didn’t expect that his proudest disciple had failed and gotten captured. The behind-the-scenes boss managed to exchange his disciple back, but what he got was a corpse. The behind-the-scenes was infuriated as he cursed motherf*cker, although he did not know who his mother was.
However, the behind-the-scenes boss didn’t care! He abused his power on his private ends as he dealt with Yang Ming in the past. His superior, Dr. Benjamin, at his back, did not know of these things.
But now, the behind-the-scenes boss didn’t bother if Dr. Benjamin knew this, and the reason was very simple. The relationship between Yang Ming and Su Ya was special, and Su Ya was the person who the boss wanted the behind-the-scenes boss to monitor and investigate.
To prove that the current popular celebrity, Shu Ya, was the little girl, Su Ya, the breakthrough would be on Yang Ming. Although it was even more difficult than to go directly to investigate on Shu Ya, the behind-the-scenes boss could fully abuse his power to retaliate against a personal enemy and inform Dr. Benjamin that Yang Ming was one of the critical figures during that year.
The people who worked for Dr. Benjamin were not only the behind-the-scenes boss, so Dr. Benjamin didn’t care whether the behind-the-scenes boss was using the relationship between Yang Ming and Su Ya to his advantage.
His only purpose was to find Sun Sikong who had close contact with Su Ya that year. As long as he found Sun Sikong, Dr. Benjamin did not care about other matters.
(For the character of Sun Sikong, you can refer to the book’s prequel, Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel, Book ID: 86766, which is also a very cool book on the city life genre…)
…
“Are you Yang Ming?” At noon, when Yang Ming just left the classroom, he was stopped by a boy who looked handsome and sunny. Compared with Yang Ming’s fortitude, this person was too tender. However, if he were to participate in programs such as “Super Boy” [1], his votes would definitely be very popular.
“Yang Ming, this person has been looking for you.” Tian Donghua waved at Yang Ming and directed the person over.
“I’m Yang Ming. Are you looking for me?” Yang Ming didn’t know who the tender boy in front of him was. He didn’t remember that he knew such a person at school.
“Yang Ming, I finally found you!” As the boy saw Yang Ming, he seemed excited. “I will introduce myself first. My name is Xu Qianxing. I’m the acting president of the Student Union.”
Since the annual student council election was at the start of the first semester which was about September each year, Xu Qianxing had topped the position of the previous student union president, but he had not yet passed the new round of voting, so he could only be said to be the acting president.
Yang Ming just heard the name Xu Qianxing from Lin Zhiyun this morning. He could not help but glance at this boy. His appearance obviously was the kind that was more popular with obedient girls. However, the majority of the girls in university are more realistic. They had separated from the high school period of having the fairy tale illusion of a prince on a white horse.
Therefore, Xu Qianxing’s advantage became useless at the university.
“Hello, President Xu.” Yang Ming didn’t know what the guy was looking for from him, but he was very polite, obviously not looking for trouble. Therefore, Yang Ming couldn’t keep him at arm’s length.
“Yang Ming, are you free? Let’s have lunch in the school cafeteria?” Xu Qianxing was quite a sociable person and spoke so naturally to Yang Ming. This invitation did not seem awkward.
” Oh ?” Yang Ming was a bit baffled with why Xu Qianxing looked for him for a meal, but Yang Ming was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, so he nodded and agreed, “Alright, let’s go together.”
Xu Qianxing thought that Yang Ming wouldn’t be able to hold himself from asking why he looked for him along the way. With that, he could tell his own purpose and treat Yang Ming to a meal to finalize the matter. On the contrary, it seemed that this Yang Ming was very patient at this moment. As Xu Qianxing did not speak up, Yang Ming did not speak up either.
However, the more Yang Ming did not speak, the more Xu Qianxing could not speak. On the road, if he were rejected by Yang Ming, then it would be troublesome. If he could treat Yang Ming to a meal first, everything would be easier to voice out at the dining table.
At this time and age, no matter whether you are requesting something or help, you should speak up after treating someone at the dining table. Although they were still in university, the gap between university and society was not far away. Xu Qianxing naturally knew this.
Xu Qianxing brought Yang Ming to the cafeteria that was not dedicated to the public but the Third Cafeteria of the university. In fact, it was a small restaurant with a standalone private room. Students’ birthdays or celebrations would be held here at night. Thus, their business at night was great, but there were relatively fewer people during lunchtime.
Most of the students had lectures in the afternoon. They couldn’t eat and drink to their fullest here because they couldn’t go to lectures in a drunken state.
Xu Qianxing was quite familiar with this place. As the Student Union leader, his relationship with the Third Cafeteria contractor was very harmonious. The Student Union would hold many activities at this designated restaurant.
Although there were only two people, Xu Qianxing reserved a private room very smoothly. He went in with Yang Ming. After ordering some delicious dishes that most students liked, Xu Qianxing indicated that the waiter could go out.
“Yang Ming, maybe you are surprised why I am looking for you.” Xu Qianxing decided to broach the main topic. This Yang Ming was really not easy. If it were another student, he would have already asked.
In fact, Yang Ming was also wondering for what matter this kid was looking for him. Could it be because Chen Mengyan and Zhou Jiajia refused to participate in the performance of the art festival, so this guy wants me to be a lobbyist?
However, how would this kid know of my relationship with Chen Mengyan and Zhou Jiajia? Even if he did know, this possibility was relatively little. However, Yang Ming still asked, “Is it because of the art festival?”
“It seems that Student Yang has some idea in his heart!” Xu Qianxing thought, Yang Ming has already guessed my purpose. No wonder he is so calm.
What ideas do I have in my heart? Yang Ming didn’t think that he would be so lucky to figure it out by simply saying a word. He was somewhat dumbfounded. “How about you tell me more about it?”
Xu Qianxing nodded. He thought that Yang Ming was asking what he already knew, so he said, “I believe that Student Yang has already seen the school’s BBS survey on the art festival?”
Yang Ming did not want to lie to him. He shook his head and looked inexplicably. “Not yet. You should tell me about it in detail.”
“Not yet?” This time, it was Xu Qiangxing’s turn to be dumbfounded. Really? If you knew I looked for you in regards to the art festival, then why did you deny it in just a glimpse?
“I just came back from a trip. This is my first day back to university. How would I go look at the university BBS?” Yang Ming threw up his hand. He thought that Xu Qianxing was a little weird. Yang Ming was getting more and more lost. Why did this guy look for me?
” Ai, look at what my brain has been thinking…” Xu Qianxing patted his forehead and smiled. “Yeah, I have been looking for you before. Your supervisor said that you have been absent from university…”
The campus BBS was the university intranet, and it could only be accessed through the internal network of the school. It was inaccessible from the external network. Of course, the hacker master, Zhou Jiajia, could make an exception to visit through a proxy. However, Xu Qianxing did not think that Yang Ming would access the campus BBS through a proxy for fun.
“You looked for me before?” Yang Ming asked Xu Qianxing.
“Yeah, I was looking for you before.” Xu Qianxing saw that Yang Ming really didn’t know, so he stopped talking nonsense and introduced Yang Ming to the situation. “Our school art festival is about to be held soon. It is just that the festival this time is different from the past. Unlike the previous festivals, this festival is entirely organized by the students. They determined the contents of the festival through a democratic voting method…”
“I know this; I heard from my classmates.” Yang Ming nodded and replied to Xu Qianxing, indicating he could skip this and say the main point.
Xu Qianxing was afraid of rejection on these few days, so he had to be careful. If Xu Qianxing weren’t rejected by the campus belles, he would not treat Yang Ming to a meal before saying his request.
Xu Qianxing was really trying to make his own planned art festival party be a hit, so he would not hesitate to put in the effort. The Student Union also had funding for the event, so treating a meal was nothing.
“This is the case. This time, the students have the strongest voice. Some programs must be held. One is to let the campus belles in the school perform one show. Of course, this is the male students’ intention. As for female students, they want you to go on stage and perform a show,” said Xu Qianxing.
“Me?” Yang Ming was amused as he dropped his jaws widely, pointing at himself with his finger. “Are you mistaken? What program can I perform?”
“This… is what everyone wanted,” Xu Qianxing looked at Yang Ming who looked as if he wanted to refuse. He was anxious immediately. “You should not rush to refuse; listen to me.”
“How come I never knew that I have any skills to perform?” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “Alright, tell me. I’m listening.”
“At the end of the semester, have a contest with the vice president of the campus’ Taekwondo Club? At that time, your entry that was similar to the God of Gamblers, Gao Jing’s style, and your superb boxing method quickly defeated the opponent. The humorous words have still been the script the majority of what students say…” Xu Qianxing said exactly like the original words on the university forum. “So, everyone decided to let you perform another show…”
“This… is somewhat difficult, right? I know that Liu Zhaojun has been arrested in prison. Can Li Jiasheng let me beat him up again? Even if I wanted to, will he cooperate?” Yang Ming threw up his hand in difficulty.
” Puff …” Xu Qianxing was drinking tea. He almost spat because of Yang Ming’s words. “Student Yang, you misunderstood. I don’t mean this. I mean, we will have you perform a show. Whatever program will do. This is what the public wanted. I’m not saying that you should go and beat up that Li Jiasheng…”
” Oh , just perform a show. You should have said it earlier,” Yang Ming smiled. “Just now, when you told me to perform, I thought you told me to beat him.”
“It’s just performing a show.” Xu Qianxing said, “You can perform martial arts which is what everyone wants…”
“Martial arts?” Yang Ming thought. These people really overestimated me. It is reasonable to say that I know some martial arts this year. If it were last year, which was my freshman year, how would I know any martial arts? Fighting with Li Jiasheng and Liu Zhaojun was entirely by chance. I attained victory by giving them a surprise attack. “If you want a martial arts performance, why not look for the martial arts club members to perform? Do you think I know martial arts?”
“Student Yang, this martial art thing is just a gimmick. Your fight last year was really cool. Everyone is willing to watch the fact that you are so cool. It has nothing to do with whether you know martial arts or not.” When Xu Qianxing heard Yang Ming say this, he knew Yang Ming did not know any martial arts. The victory in the fight last year was purely out of luck.
“Then, I can perform anything?” Yang Ming looked up and asked Xu Qianxing.
“This is the case…” Xu Qianxing nodded. Anyway, the voices of the students were letting Yang Ming perform. As for what was he going to perform, it didn’t matter. Xu Qianxing considered that as completing his task.
“Alright, I think I will give you a reply after I think about it.” Yang Ming thought for a moment. “Can I perform with others?”
“Of course, there is no problem.” Xu Qianxing thought that Yang Ming was looking for an assistant or helper, so he didn’t mind. Since Yang Ming promised to participate in the festival performance, it was all right.
“Then I will think about it,” Yang Ming considered Lin Zhiyun’s problem. This little girl had a thin face, and she was shy. She never went on the stage. Yang Ming wondered if he could perform with her to boost her confidence.
Therefore, Yang Ming temporarily agreed to Xu Qianxing’s proposal. He prepared to go back and talk to Lin Zhiyun about it. If Lin Zhiyun was unwilling to go on stage, then Yang Ming didn’t necessarily have to perform on stage.
Although this was a group activity, he was busy recently. How could he have time to rehearse? After all, the teachers and students of the whole university were looking forward to it. He couldn’t just go up and simply perform, right? Wasn’t it better to not go on stage?
“Okay, this is something you need to think about first, but it will definitely not trouble your student life.” When Xu Qianxing heard that Yang Ming did not instantly reject him, he was quite happy. After all, others had directly rejected it. If Yang Ming did not refuse, it meant that there was an opportunity.
When the dishes came up, Yang Ming was not overpolite with him. Seeing that Xu Qianxing and the owner of the restaurant were familiar, he knew that Xu Qianxing didn’t need to pay for this meal. Probably, it would be funded by the Student Union, so he would not waste the food.
Xu Qianxing naturally didn’t know Yang Ming’s thoughts, assuming that it was all set after Yang Ming had eaten the meal. However, many people didn’t do anything after the meal in this day and age. Yang Ming was another one of these.
After finishing the food, Yang Ming bid farewell to Xu Qianxing and went straight to the computer science faculty building. Xiao Qing should be on lunch break. Most of the people in the teacher faculty building knew Yang Ming, knowing that he was the director’s younger brother, so naturally, no one would stop him.
Yang Ming also came to Xiao Qing’s office door and knocked on the door. There was no response for a long time. Yang Ming wanted to use his special ability to see the movement inside, but he was patted on the back.
“Are you looking for Director Xiao?” Yang Ming turned around and found that it was actually Teacher Wang who taught his computer foundation class. (Mr. Wang, see the character in Chapter 294, Xiao Qing’s Suspicion)
“Teacher Wang? Yes, I’m looking for Sister Xiao Qing.” Yang Ming nodded.
“Director Xiao is in the research center upstairs. She has an office there. She has been working there for a few days,” said Teacher Wang.
” Oh , I got it. Thank you.” Yang Ming heard Teacher Wang said this, and he understood. Since Yang Ming had been to Xiao Qing’s dormitory upstairs before, and he did something with Xiao Qing inside, Yang Ming naturally wouldn’t forget.
