Huayu 1995

Chapter 88 Please let me explain! (Thanks to the generous patron, DeepWaterQAQ)
"Teacher, please let me explain!"

Tu Songyan forced a smile and said, "This assignment was indeed done by someone else, but it wasn't bought. I bought him a cigarette, and he taught me how to do it. I learned a lot..."

First, the matter cannot be defined as a monetary transaction.

Otherwise, it would be considered academic fraud.

Secondly, it must be acknowledged that outside help was sought; Tu Songyan's shouts must have been heard.

Although the saying goes that those who resist will be punished severely, while those who confess will be treated leniently, and those who confess will be imprisoned for life, when caught red-handed, stubbornness is useless.

It would be better to take a step back and admit that we need to find outside help.

Although it was a mistake, it wasn't a capital offense, and at least he wouldn't be expelled.

Finally, it should be clarified that this is not about copying, but about teaching.

This is also very important.

When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher.

The school does not stipulate that students cannot ask others for help outside of school.

Tu Songyan has used up all his quick wit in this lifetime.

Ji Chenmu looked at this fool with new respect.

If it weren't for the fact that this fool's back was completely soaked with sweat, with beads of sweat dripping down his back, he might have thought that this fool was hiding something.

"So you're admitting that someone else did the homework?"

Neither of the teachers expected him to confess so quickly.

They haven't even started interrogating me yet.

"Yes, I heard that someone opened a training class near Suojiafen, and they would refund your money if you didn't pass the exam. I was curious and went to take a look. The teacher there looked at my topic and gave me the answer on the spot. I found it quite interesting, so I thought I would bring it back and study it with Ji Chenmu..."

The more you tell a lie, the smoother it becomes.

Tu Songyan has finally found his rhythm.

"Do you know that teacher? What kind of training course is it? Is it compliant with regulations?"

Chang Li and Liang Bolong exchanged a glance at the training class outside, both finding it utterly absurd.

It's understandable if students who haven't been admitted to the Central Academy of Drama attend training courses.

Now that even students are going to training classes to ask teachers for advice, it makes one question the level of teachers at the Central Academy of Drama.

"That training course should be legitimate. I heard that a few days ago, people from the industry and commerce bureau came to check it out, but they didn't find anything wrong."

This is also why Tu Songyan trusts Su Chao.

The two teachers were quite helpless.

The students are still too naive.

Who says that just because the Administration for Industry and Commerce lets something go doesn't mean it's legitimate? What if it's a training course run by a relative of an official in the Administration for Industry and Commerce?

But teachers can't say things like that.

"You did a good job on this assignment. What's your teacher's name?"

Chang Li was holding two assignments in her hands.

She currently teaches two acting classes, and no one in those classes can do their homework this well.

"Name..." Tu Songyan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I forgot to ask his name, but that kid is pretty good. He finished an assignment in just a few minutes without me even seeing him spend any time thinking."

It wasn't him covering for Su Chao.

The main problem is that none of the people involved are doing legitimate business.

It's like an illegal transaction.

The money and goods have been exchanged, why don't we hurry up and leave? Do we still need to argue about who's better?

"He's very young?"

The people this kid calls "kid" are probably not much older than him.

"Well, it's just a feeling, I think he might not be very old."

Tu Songyan breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had passed the test.

"Let's take a look at these two assignments. This 'teacher' designed five emotional transitions for 'Empty Refrigerator,' from playfulness to collapse... one, two, three... taking pantomime performance to the extreme..."

Chang Li held the homework in her hand and gave a lesson to Tu Songyan and Ji Chenmu on the spot.

In fact, this also shows that she and Liang Bolong let the matter go.

In his story "Kong Yiji," Lu Xun wrote, "Stealing books cannot be considered stealing... Stealing books!... Can the actions of a scholar be considered stealing?"

Buying homework is against the rules, but it depends on the situation.

If it's an exam, that's called cheating.

If it's a research paper, then it's academic misconduct.

But right now it's just homework.

You can't say that copying a classmate's homework should warrant expulsion from school.

In addition, the two assignments were done very well, which was also the main reason why Chang Li didn't want to pursue the matter any further.

This person is indeed very capable.

She has been teaching for decades, and she has certainly seen better presentation assignments than this.

But it's said that the teacher could complete the task in just a few minutes without even thinking about it, which makes it seem like the teacher's skill level is exceptionally high.

And this training course...

Refund if you fail the exam?
What kind of place is a university that someone would dare to make such a boast?

Su Chao was unaware that he had already caught the attention of a teacher from the Central Academy of Drama.

He rode his bicycle to Chen Jiantian's place, which took quite a while, further strengthening his determination to buy a car.

Damn, once I make money from the album, I absolutely have to buy a car.

Even a Xiali would be fine!
"What do you think about the song selection in the music library? You don't feel uncomfortable about it, do you?"

Chen Jiantian asked cautiously.

He didn't even dare to ask Su Chao if many record companies had contacted him today.

Anyway, Yan Siyuan said so.

Today, many record companies called the karaoke bar, asking Yan Siyuan for Su Chao's pager number. Yan Siyuan replied uniformly that Su Chao had already signed a contract with Red Star Production Company.

As for signing only one album, that's something I can't say, otherwise Su Chao would become easy prey.

Even with hemorrhoids, someone will still want a piece.

"It would be better if it were cheaper."

No matter what Su Chao thought, he couldn't be happier to have someone give him a good song to sing.

"Alright, these are the ones rated A and above so far."

Chen Jiantian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, how have you changed? I still love your rebellious self. Seeing you like this, I know that a sad, thick barrier has already formed between us."

Su Chao took it and looked through it.

"grass!"

Chen Jiantian was so angry he almost blew smoke.

Who is responsible for all of this?
Who is it all because of me?

It's because you suddenly became too awesome.

"As long as Red Star treats me fairly, I won't leave. You can try to improve my treatment, give me a high-paying, low-stress position that doesn't require me to come to work, and give me some shares..."

Su Chao's words almost made Chen Jiantian faint.

That kid is shameless.

It turns out that his previous docility was all an act; he's already stopped pretending even before releasing an album.

However, Chan Kin-tim did breathe a sigh of relief.

"Since this is rated A, are there also rated B and C? Bring them all out for me to see."

It seems like a lot, but it's actually not that much.

There are only about ten songs.

Most of them are written by Gao Xiaosong, who loves to write something at the drop of a hat.

Moreover, because of his fame and status, the works he brings in are basically all classified as A-level.

"There is no C, only A and B."

Chen Jiantian was speechless. Did this kid not even like one of them?

"Then take out your B!"

Su Chao refused to believe that there were no hidden gems. As a reborn person and a chosen one, wouldn't this be too undignified?

"..."

Chen Jiantian quickly took out a lot more.

Most of it is still garbage.

This is normal.

Although many musicians are capable of creating music, and some prolific ones may be able to create several songs a day, most musicians are just indulging in their own self-indulgence.

There are very few people who can create good songs.

If it's a good song, it might be picked up by someone else not long after it's added to the library.

"This one, let's go with this one, it's by my brother Xu Wei, 'Like the Wind'."

Su Chao finally found a song he remembered.

And it's incredibly awesome.

That's right, his selection principle is based on having heard of them in his past life.

Otherwise, with so many lyrics and melodies, where would you find the energy to study them one by one? You could spend a whole day studying them and still not see any results.

He had heard of "Free as the Wind".

I remember it was originally sung for Xie Dong, but later Xu Wei sang it himself.

Then it became the motto of artistic youths.

What pleased Su Chao even more was that the song had both melody and lyrics, making it a relatively mature work.

Unlike some other songs that are missing parts.

"Don't you like Xu Wei's or Gao Xiaosong's songs? Their songs are pretty good."

Chen Jiantian desperately wanted to help Su Chaoxuan.

There were a few decent songs, but Su Chao didn't even like them.

But he's awesome, and his own writing is awesome too.

There seems to be nothing more to say if someone doesn't like something.

Where is the person who sang yesterday?

He had a loud, boisterous voice; his voice reached our ears even before he arrived.

The person who came was none other than Gao Xiaosong.

Since writing "My Deskmate," "My Brother Who Sleeps in the Upper Bunk," and "Love in the Dust" for Lao Lang, this guy has become a top songwriter in the Chinese music scene.

"You're Su Chao, but you don't look much more handsome than Zheng Jun."

Gao Xiaosong looked Su Chao up and down.

He and Zheng Jun are good friends.

Now that Chan Kin-tim is trying to cultivate new talent to replace Cheng Kwan, who is currently terminating his contract with Red Star, he naturally has reason to dislike Su Chao.

However, he at least maintained some decorum and didn't say that Su Chao was less handsome than Zheng Jun.

That would be blatant lying.

"Oh... Oh, it's Teacher Gao, nice to meet you."

Without saying a word, Su Chao pounced on him.

Grabbing Gao Xiaosong's hand, he shook him up and down, almost shaking him to pieces.
