Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 137, Section 135: Childhood Sweethearts
Has the head of the sound control room arrived yet?

"Xiao Liu, you'll be in charge of urging the show to start, and you'll have two members help you move the props, so you can be ready to respond at any time."

"Chairman Lin, we also need manpower for pulling the curtain and protecting the microphone."

"Okay, wait a moment. Teacher Shen is here. I'll report to her first and then we'll make arrangements together."

In the auditorium of Nanhu University, Lin Xiaofeng, the student union president, was meticulously handling all the details of the welcome party.

Upon seeing Shen Yunrong's figure not far away, he immediately straightened up, forced a smile, and jogged over to her.

"Teacher Shen!"

"How are the preparations going?"

Shen Yunrong nodded, but she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

She crossed her arms, her face expressionless, and got straight to the point.

"Teacher Shen, this is our third rehearsal. I personally think we're fairly well prepared. Could you please give us your feedback later?"

The key to a successful university welcome party lies in the meticulous preparation during the rehearsal stage.

Shen Yunrong is not only a freshman counselor at the Law School of Nanhu University.

In addition, she also holds an important position in the school's Youth League Committee, responsible for the planning of the entire welcome party.

Despite not having a doctoral degree, she is considered a promising young reserve cadre even within the entire Nanhu University.

"Ah."

Shen Yunrong found a seat in the center of the front row, facing the stage, and glanced at her phone almost imperceptibly, turning her body slightly to the side.

The message board remained quiet.

Have emergency plans been prepared?

Looking at the noisy actors and hosts on stage, Shen Yunrong frowned slightly.

"Yes, Teacher Shen, we considered all of these things during the first two rehearsals. We had prepared for unexpected situations such as program mishaps, performance errors, power outages, and backup equipment."

Lin Xiaofeng sat down next to Shen Yunrong with a big smile on his face.

"Let the host walk around and take a look."

"Okay, Ms. Shen, I'll go and inform them now!"

Lin Xiaofeng immediately stood up and disappeared from the audience.

This rehearsal marked the first time that the program, the host, and the stage technology team collaborated.

Not only did everyone wear work badges, but their responsibilities were also distinguished by color: red for the stage team and blue for the security team, ensuring that the scheduling would not fall into chaos.

Meanwhile, considering that the teachers from the Youth League Committee would be present, basic lighting and sound tests were also conducted to confirm the microphone transmission route and prop positioning points.

The hosts of the gala were also present, chatting and getting their makeup done backstage.

"Hello, junior, it's nice to see you again~"

Du Jianuo was the last host to arrive at the auditorium.

As the senior student with the most performance experience in the entire show, she exuded a relaxed vibe and waved to Zhong Yujun with a smile.

"Sister Nuonuo!"

Zhong Yujun also stood up happily, took a cup of coffee from the dressing table backstage, and handed it to Du Jianuo.

After they added each other on WeChat, Zhong Yuyun learned a lot from her senior.

"Here, I bought coffee for everyone."

"Thank you~"

Du Jianuo didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it readily, saying casually.

"What do you think of the fishtail skirt I chose? I told you it suits you perfectly, right?"

"Hey, who did your makeup?"

Zhong Yuyun blinked and whispered, "The makeup artist was hired by the student council."

"Oh, no wonder."

Du Jianuo pursed her lips, pulled over a chair and sat down, then unzipped her bag with a "whoosh" and took out her magic items.

"Your skill level isn't quite there yet. Would you like me to help you optimize it a bit?"

"May I?"

"Why not?"

Du Jianuo smiled and casually spread her hands.

"Then I'll go and remove it a little!"

A love of beauty is a girl's nature.

Zhong Yujun quickly ran to the restroom to remove her makeup, returning to her natural, bare-faced self.

Then she obediently moved in front of her senior, pursed her lips, squinted her eyes, and let the other person use her as a 3D canvas to draw on her cheeks.

The two were so close that they could even smell each other's fragrance in their nostrils.

"Senior~"

"Ok?"

Du Jianuo's makeup application was so smooth and fluid that she could even speak without any delay.

What perfume are you wearing?

"I think it's Jo Malone, but I can't remember which one. Anyway, it's orange flavored. I'll look it up and send it to you later, but don't touch it yet."

Du Jianuo smiled and put the brown eyeshadow back.

Then, she took a black gel eyeliner and gently drew an upward-sweeping eyeliner, extending Zhong Yujun's eyelids a little.

As we all know, stage lighting can reduce the color payoff of makeup by 40%, so makeup needs to be a little heavier to look better.

However, makeup artists who are not skilled enough cannot grasp this balance and often end up making their children look like little cats with clowns.

"Sister Nuonuo, I have a secret to tell you."

After finishing her eye makeup, Zhong Yujun kept her eyes closed for most of the time and spoke in a low voice, afraid that her facial expressions would affect the other person's operation.

"what's wrong?"

"I have your level 7 fan badge! Your dance yesterday was so cool! I loved it!"

A seasoned makeup artist was applying highlighter to her brow bone, bridge of her nose, and cupid's bow.

Zhong Yujun peeked open her eyelids a crack and saw her senior's lips curving into a smile, her eyes brimming with affection.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you can look all you want, but don't send any gifts, it's unnecessary."

Du Jianuo tapped the eyebrow powder twice on the table with her wrist hanging down, giving instructions while sighing.

"Junjun, you're so beautiful. If it weren't for the need for stage makeup, you wouldn't need any eyebrow powder at all." "Actually, I wasn't joking when I asked you last time. With your looks, if you came to Jieyou Media, you wouldn't necessarily become a huge star, but you could at least earn enough to support yourself for several jobs."

Zhong Yujun blinked, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Let's forget it, senior."

"The thought of calling him General Manager Zhou or Boss always feels a bit strange."

"Eh?"

Du Jianuo was startled, and her previously fluid movements involuntarily stopped in place.

"Him? You mean Zhou Mingyuan?"

"Yes."

Zhong Yujun kept her neck still and nodded slightly.

"Does your tone suggest you're very close?"

Du Jianuo pulled her chair forward again, shook her wrist, swung the small bottle of Pramy setting spray, leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

Obvious.

The fact that someone can refer to a third party as "he" and say that calling someone "boss" is strange suggests that their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

For a rising star streamer who has made a name for himself on Douyu, it's not difficult to discern the implied meaning in a junior's words.

Sure enough, Zhong Yujun nodded, a hint of something indescribable appearing in her eyes.

"Hmm, it's alright."

"We were classmates in high school."

Du Jianuo paused for several seconds, realizing that the junior in front of her didn't really need blush, before she reorganized her thoughts.

"That's it"

"So you two are childhood sweethearts?"

It's as if there's an automatic translator in my mind, interpreting my classmate's meaning in a completely different way.

She mechanically held the sprayer and sprayed Zhong Yujun several times.

"No, no, no!"

Zhong Yuyun giggled, and seeing that her senior's movements had stopped, she no longer held back her silvery voice.

"We grew up together since childhood, and only those who are childhood sweethearts can be called childhood sweethearts. We don't really qualify as childhood sweethearts; we were just high school classmates."

"High school classmates with whom I have a relatively good relationship."

I don't know why, but she added a qualifier.

"Is the School of Arts and Sciences present? There seems to be a slight problem with this singing and dancing performance."

"Their movements are not synchronized, and their singing is unstable."

With the joint coordination of the student union and the Youth League committee teachers, the rehearsal for the welcome party soon officially began.

Shen Yunrong sat in the front row, providing commentary while overseeing the program's quality.

For language-based programs, the focus is on reviewing the clarity of the dialogue to avoid dialectal ambiguity; for song and dance programs, in addition to checking the smoothness of formation changes, stage technology coordination must also be considered.

For example, lighting changes can be designed according to the mood of the program; soft light should be used for lyrical songs, while strobe light should be used for hot dances.

"OK, that's all for today!"

"All team leaders, come here for a moment!"

The program I'm participating in today's rehearsal is only a small part of what I'll be performing at the gala.

Thanks to Shen Yunrong's personal presence on site, Lin Xiaofeng gained more confidence in his command this time.

Everyone made a summary on the spot, and the group leaders reported on the problems that had just occurred.

For example, there were delays in the handover of props, misoperation of lighting, and other details such as blocking during movement and the management of the host's facial expressions were analyzed.

After the event ended, only Lin Xiaofeng and Shen Yunrong remained, walking out of the auditorium one after the other.

"The rehearsal for the gala is not a mechanical execution, but an art of dynamic collaboration."

"You're the student council president, so you need to think things through on your own."

On the bluestone path, Shen Yunrong's high heels clicked loudly and clearly.

"Everyone performed wonderfully today, especially the hosts, who worked together very well."

"Nono goes without saying, her performance has been consistently stable as always."

"What was that new female host's name again?"

"Zhong Yujun".

Lin Xiaofeng immediately took over the conversation.

"She's pretty good. She has a steady stage presence, and her image, figure, and looks are all good. She doesn't look inferior at all standing next to Nuonuo."

After watching the entire rehearsal, Shen Yunrong was deeply impressed by Zhong Yujun.

"Teacher Shen, you truly have an excellent eye for people!"

Lin Xiaofeng gave a thumbs up and added with a smile.

"Our student council members all have a good opinion of Zhong Yujun. She is a very nice person and never complains. She doesn't have any princess syndrome at all."

The man quickened his pace, trying to keep up with Shen Yunrong.

“When the student council treated the actors to coffee, she was the only one who would reciprocate.”

"I told her there was no need to be so polite, the student council has funds, and guess what she said?"

"How to say?"

Shen Yunrong asked casually.

She said that one thing is one thing, and one should also make contributions; one can't keep taking advantage of the organization.

"That's interesting."

"Then, Ms. Shen, I'll head back now."

"it is good."

Shen Yunrong nodded symbolically to the students and walked towards the main gate of Nanhu University.

As she walked, she unconsciously tightened the strap of her bag on her shoulder, lost in deep thought.

Yes, even students understand this principle.

One thing at a time, both sides need to make sacrifices.

How can there be a one-sided, repeated demand?
