Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 35 The Wind Rises

After much deliberation, Qin Chaoyang still spoke up to advise, "I'm glad you're willing to participate in the arts festival. Campus social interaction is also very important. Don't be so aloof and withdrawn. Song Ci, you are indeed a dragon among men, a genius of extraordinary talent."

But those who can get into this school are all top talents in the world, and there may be many outstanding talents on campus that you need for your business.

Especially your classmates, they are the best candidates to follow you in starting a business regardless of personal gain.

So you don't need to be so aloof. Just integrate into university life; being able to enjoy life is also a form of growth.

Faced with Qin Chaoyang's earnest words, Song Ci was speechless for a moment.

The reborn him did indeed have the problems Qin Chaoyang mentioned. As a child with an adult soul, he found it difficult to get along with other children. Throughout his adolescence, he had no friends except for Liu Shishi, and he had become accustomed to prolonged loneliness.

"I understand, Teacher Qin. But this is just my personality, and it's not something that can be changed overnight. I will try my best to integrate into the group, and I will participate in this arts performance."

Seeing that Song Ci was willing to make changes, Qin Chaoyang nodded in satisfaction, and then instructed, "This year's cultural performance is different from previous years; it will be held at the end of this month."

Time is limited, so rehearse and prepare well. I'm counting on you to make our finance department proud and let the whole university witness the charm of Peking University's number one heartthrob.

September, a month of golden autumn and abundant harvests, is about to end in four hours. At this moment, the "Affection for Yan Garden" New Year's Gala is being held in the Centennial Hall of Peking University. Various wonderful programs have brought a visual and auditory feast to the teachers and students of Peking University.

The show was wonderful, but Liu Shishi, who was mingling with Peking University students and faculty in the audience, seemed a little distracted. Knowing that Song Ci would be performing at the gala, she had specifically asked a young man to take her to the lecture hall to watch the show.

"Why hasn't Song Ci appeared yet?" Liu Shishi asked, frowning her delicate eyebrows in annoyance.

The lecture hall was a bit stuffy. Lin Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Senior Sister, don't worry, it'll be over soon."

Ever since Liu Shishi arranged a social gathering a few days ago with several graceful dance students from Beijing Dance Academy and Song Ci's dormitory, chubby Lin Hao has completely transformed into Liu Shishi's little fanboy. He shamelessly calls Liu Shishi "sister" and hopes she can introduce him to a girl from Beijing Dance Academy to be his girlfriend.

After looking at the program, Lu Yugang reminded the people around him, "The next program is about to start; the fourth brother will be on stage soon."

Song Ci was worried that Liu Shishi would be unfamiliar with Peking University, so before going to the backstage area, he entrusted Liu to his three roommates. At this moment, Liu was sitting with Lin Hao and the other two.

Upon hearing Lu Yugang's words, Liu Shishi suppressed her anxious thoughts and waited for Song Ci to appear.

On stage, amidst applause, several students who performed skits slowly retreated backstage, and the radiant and elegant female host of the evening stepped forward to begin announcing the program.

"That summer, the cicadas chirped in the lush sycamore trees, heralding the arrival of summer. The evening breeze outside the window brushed past me. At the end of June, our teenage years came to an end. We met in summer, we met at Peking University."

Next, please welcome Song Ci from the Guanghua School of Management to perform his original song, "The Wind Rises!"

Song Ci slowly walked to the center of the stage, stood proudly, wearing a pure white fitted suit that made her look tall and dashing, with perfect, handsome, and sunny features, exuding an unparalleled temperament.

Picking up the microphone, Song Ci's clear and crisp words rang in everyone's ears: "When the evening breeze blows, whose youth is stirred up?"

The group of beautiful young women in the audience immediately let out screams, making the atmosphere of the party even more intense.

"Song Ci is so handsome!"

"The most handsome man in Peking University's history is no mere empty title." "I love that white suit!"

"Why even bother singing? Just look at their faces!"

Countless female students in the audience were whispering and gossiping, discussing the appearance of Song Ci.

Liu Shishi was also deeply moved by Song Ci's stunningly handsome appearance, and couldn't help but murmur, "Yi Yi, he's so handsome! How come I never realized he was this handsome before!"

Although Liu Shishi knew that Song Ci was very handsome, the two had grown up together and she had become somewhat accustomed to his good looks after seeing him so many times.

Even though everyone she knew praised Song Ci's good looks, she still didn't have a deep enough understanding of her childhood sweetheart's appearance. But today, Song Ci, dressed in a white suit, was so handsome that he captivated her, making her feel completely smitten.

As soon as Song Ci finished speaking, the melodious and pleasant prelude of the song began.

The simple and gentle piano music, the tinkling of wind chimes, like the wind blowing through leaves, like waves crashing on the shore, like birds singing, can soothe the mind and bring a sense of ease and joy.

After the prelude ended, Song Ci began to sing in his unique, clear, and ethereal voice.

We traveled along the way, stopping frequently, following the trail of the boy's drifting journey.

I hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the station.
I can't help but laugh at this inevitable feeling of trepidation as I approach my hometown.
The sky over Chang'an remained warm, and the breeze stirred up memories of the past.
The beautiful singing voice and lyrics, accompanied by a gentle melody, are like a warm spring breeze, awakening a dormant soul and reminding one of youth and bygone years.

The entire hall was silent, without a sound, except for the light and bright singing and accompaniment of Song Ci, which floated in the air above the lecture hall.

On stage, Song Ci was completely absorbed in her performance, using her heartfelt voice to transport the audience to a distant, beautiful, and serene landscape.

When I first encountered the myriad wonders of this world...

The horizon seemed to be right in front of me.
I'm willing to go through fire and water to experience it once.

Now, having traversed all the vicissitudes of this world...

Turning the pages of time to different facets
Unexpectedly, your smile appeared.
As Song Ci sang this line, her gaze drifted to a corner of the lecture hall, where she happened to meet the eyes of Liu Shishi, who was sitting there. Seeing Liu Shishi's radiant smile, she couldn't help but smile back.

Liu Shishi noticed Song Ci's gaze coming from the stage. Their eyes met, and he clearly saw her infatuated expression. Then, she was stunned by Song Ci's radiant smile. She was completely caught off guard by his smile and felt her heart sink into it.

The warm and soothing lyrics seem to possess a magical power to captivate listeners, followed by soul-stirring high notes that are truly awe-inspiring.

I was once overwhelmed by the vastness of the world.
I also indulged in it and talked in my sleep.
Unable to distinguish truth from falsehood, unwilling to struggle, and unafraid of ridicule.
I once turned my youth into her

I've also played the summer tune with my fingertips.
Let your heart guide you, and let things take their course.

Walking against the light, braving the wind and rain.
As the singing paused, a soothing piano accompaniment began, and the teachers and students in the audience could not contain their excitement, shouting, cheering, and clapping, pushing the atmosphere of the evening to a climax.
