The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 106 The School's Actions, Shared Throughout the School

After Yang Muye left, Lin Shaotao curiously asked Liu Qing about it.

"Senior, is this junior Yang going to see... Secretary Ji?"

The third floor consists of the offices of the leaders of various colleges. Students usually go to the third floor to see Ji Donglai.

“It was Secretary Ji who contacted him,” Liu Qing replied.

Lin Shaotao was taken aback.

I couldn't help but think to myself, this junior Yang must be someone important.

Lin Shaotao brought up this matter while having dinner with his girlfriend Jian Ai at the Haitang Restaurant that evening.

Jane looked up while she was eating.

"Do you think that guy is tall and handsome, and his physique is obviously from working out regularly, like a sports student?"

Lin Shaotao was taken aback.

"Why, have you seen it?"

"I met him once before the start of the semester. Gu Jia brought him to see Teacher Li, and then Teacher Li led him to see Secretary Ji."

When Jane said that, Lin Shaotao suddenly remembered that Gu Jia was the student counselor of the first-year business administration class.

Gu Jia is definitely the one who knows the most about Yang Muye's situation.

However, Lin Shaotao was concerned about something else at the moment.

"You really think he has the physique of an athlete?"

"Yeah, at first I thought he was a basketball player specially recruited by our college. I was thinking that if Rukawa Kaede were a real person, he would probably look like this."

Jane continued talking to herself, completely unaware that her boyfriend's expression was slowly changing.

Jane didn't know that she first met Lin Shaotao at school on the sidelines of the basketball court, where Lin Shaotao was playing basketball with his roommates Jia Kuan and Zhou Yiming.

The three noticed Jane Ai, who was passing by the sidelines and stopped to watch the game.

Zhou Yiming joked that Jian Ai's short, shoulder-length hair made her look like a real-life version of Haruko Akagi.

Lin Shaotao immediately declared that he was Sakuragi Hanamichi.

The implication was that he had his eye on Jian Ai and wanted his two friends to stop competing with him.

Zhou Yiming jokingly told Lin Shaotao that if he wanted to be like Sakuragi Hanamichi, he first needed to dye his hair red and then work out.

Lin Shaotao is too thin, looking like a bamboo pole, which seriously detracts from his good looks.

Lin Shaotao didn't take it seriously back then, but things are different now.

After two years of persistent pursuit, Jane finally agreed to be with him.

They'd only been together a short while when a freak appeared out of nowhere... no, it was Rukawa Kaede.

This made Lin Shaotao, who was playing Sakuragi Hanamichi, feel extremely threatened.

He has decided to start building muscle and working out today.

After dinner, Lin Shaotao and Jian Ai strolled around the campus.

Lin Shaotao's plan was to pretend to have taken the wrong turn and lead Jian Ai into "Lovers' Slope".

Even if you've never eaten pork, it's good to at least see what it's like to eat.

Just as she reached the fork in the road, Jane received a text message on her phone.

The school's Youth League Committee announced a meeting, and each college's Youth League Committee needs to send two people.

The vice secretary of the student union in the business school was a girl, so she asked Jian Ai to come along.

In the period after Li Yunchang left, the Youth League Committee suddenly became the busiest department in the entire college.

It was a crucial time for leadership transition, and all the ministers were working with all their might. Jian Ai, the office director, was especially busy, barely having time to spare to even meet with Lin Shaotao.

With Jian Ai gone, Lin Shaotao also abandoned his plan to disturb the wild couples in the grove on Lover's Slope.

I took out my phone and called my roommate Zhou Yiming.

"Want to join a three-person internet cafe party? Chenghai 3C, let me show you what real technology is."

"You noob, who was it that got so badly beaten last time that they almost smashed their keyboard and said they'd never play again?"

"I call this 'shame motivating courage.' So tell me if you dare to go or not."

"Walk."

"The same old rule applies: whoever loses treats. Don't forget to invite Jia Kuan too."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shaotao thought for a moment and then called Gu Jia again.

"Minister, is there something you need?"

"Did I disturb your date with Xu Huanshan?"

"That would definitely be a bother. He's right next to me. Should we say a few words to him?"

"Never mind, I'm afraid he'll call me a third wheel. Let's get down to business. I want to ask you about someone, Yang Muye from the first-year Industrial Management class."

"which aspect?"

"From what you're saying, this guy has quite a story. I ran into him in the courtyard today; he was just coming out of Secretary Ji's office. What's his relationship with Secretary Ji?"

"Cheng Feng, the one who posted the video, is in the same dormitory as Yang Muye. Cheng Feng has been on leave for the past two days. I guess Secretary Ji called Yang Muye over to talk about Cheng Feng."

"What about last time? It was when you brought him to see Teacher Li and met Jane."

"He plans to take over a two-story shop at the intersection of the pedestrian street to start a campus business, and he's asking Secretary Ji if he can get some support from the college."

Of course I support it!

Ji Donglai places the greatest importance on student work related to campus entrepreneurship.

Lin Shaotao thought to himself, but at the moment his attention was on other things.

It seems Yang Muyi's family is quite wealthy to be able to rent two floors of shops before school even starts.

Lin Shaotao himself is also a second-generation rich kid, but his family's situation is somewhat different.

When Lin Shaotao first went to university, his family business encountered some difficulties, but things only started to improve in the last two years.

In the second semester of his sophomore year, his older sister drove a BMW 7 Series to school, and Lin Shaotao truly realized that he was now a second-generation rich kid.

By this time, Lin Shaotao had matured and was no longer the same person who was obsessed with starting a business when he first entered university.

In addition, many examples of college students starting businesses in the past two years have ended in failure.

Although his family is now able to support him, and his sister even suggested that Lin Shaotao make more mistakes while he's young, as a way to learn from his mistakes, Lin Shaotao ultimately gave up his plan to start a business on campus and chose to work steadily in the student union.

Now that Lin Shaotao has heard that Yang Muyi is preparing to start a business, he feels like he is seeing his past self.

It's good to make a few mistakes while you're young.

Gu Jia originally wanted to reveal that Yang Muye was the behind-the-scenes boss of Shanye Technology, but Lin Shaotao changed the subject first.

"This is the first time I've seen a boy as the arts and culture representative. I heard he's a really good singer?"

Gu Jia sensed that Lin Shaotao's words implied a desire to compete with Yang Muye, which put her in a difficult position.

Lin Shaotao won the runner-up in a campus singing competition. It wasn't that the champion was better than him, but that Lin Shaotao happened to have a cold that day and his voice was damaged. Even so, he still managed to win the runner-up, which shows his strength.

Gu Jia had only heard Yang Muyi sing one song: "If One Day I Become Very Rich".

In terms of singing ability, Yang Muyi and Lin Shaotao are probably evenly matched.

But Yang Muye can also write songs, and his skill level is definitely professional.

This alone puts Lin Shaotao far ahead of him.

"He should participate in the preliminary round of the singing competition organized by the college. It mainly depends on his own decision. What's certain now is that he will definitely be on stage at the welcome party." Lin Shaotao's biggest worry was that Yang Muye wouldn't participate in the campus singing competition, so even if he won the championship, he wouldn't feel much sense of accomplishment.

Upon hearing that Yang Muyi would be performing at the welcome party, their eyes lit up immediately.

It just so happens that the three of them in their dorm recently formed a band, and they chose to make their debut at the freshman welcome party.

Aside from Lin Shaotao, who genuinely wanted to sing, the other two had ulterior motives.

Zhou Yiming wanted to go up and show his face, to make his presence known to the freshman girls.

Jia Kuan had a crush on Liu Yingxia, a classmate in the financial management class, and only decided to go on stage and bravely express himself after being encouraged by Zhou Yiming.

They even gave the band a name: Three's Company.

Just this year, Gu Jia and a freshman named Zhu Suosuo managed to secure a super sponsorship of 100,000 yuan.

Apart from Liu Qing's sophomore year, the business school has never had such a lavish welcome party before.

Even looking at the entire school, he stands out from the crowd.

The entire student union was determined to make this welcome party both spectacular and a sensation.

Lin Shaotao also wanted to take this opportunity to perform well on stage and prove to the entire college how right it was for Jian Ai to choose him as her girlfriend.

Now Lin Shaotao has another reason to take the stage.

He was going to give it his all and have a serious showdown with Yang Muyi, a rare and formidable opponent.

Because he was delayed by talking to Gu Jia on the phone, by the time Lin Shaotao arrived at the internet cafe, Zhou Yiming and Jia Kuan had already taken over the computers.

After Lin Shaotao sat down, he waited for the machine to start while glancing at Zhou Yiming to see what he was doing.

Normally, when Zhou Yiming comes to the internet cafe, he either plays games or watches the latest episodes of Naruto and One Piece.

I watch videos occasionally.

None of the three popular manga series updated today. In order to wait for Lin Shaotao, Zhou Yiming logged into Youku to see if there were any interesting videos.

Zhou Yiming used to prefer watching videos on Tudou, which had many grassroots and parody videos that were very interesting.

After watching too many of these kinds of videos, I wanted to change things up and watch some videos that were closer to real life.

Just last year, Youku launched a "Citizen Shooter" program with the slogan "Everyone is a director of their own life," encouraging users to film their daily lives and share them online.

This year has been a big year for news, with the snowstorm at the beginning of the year, the major earthquake in the middle of the year, and the Olympics that just ended last month. A large number of videographers uploaded related videos to Youku, allowing Chinese netizens to "experience" these major news events from the perspective of passersby.

Because of the increased sense of immersion and participation, these videos uploaded by netizens have gained considerable traffic and attention, leading to a surge in registered members on Youku.

Zhou Yiming started paying attention to videos posted by netizens on Youku after the snow disaster at the beginning of the year. During the Olympics, he would go to Youku every day to watch various videos of the games posted by netizens.

Just as Lin Shaotao sat down, Zhou Yiming opened a video on Youku.

However, it wasn't the kind of video that Zhou Yiming watched most often; it was a music video.

When Lin Shaotao saw the three white characters "Lone Warrior" appear on the screen, he was stunned for a moment, then decisively reached out and pressed the space bar on Zhou Yiming's keyboard to pause.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Yiming turned his head, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Shaotao had already taken off the headphones hanging on his head.

"Turn the volume up to the maximum, let's listen together."

Lin Shaotao placed the earphones between himself and Zhou Yiming and gave the instructions.

Zhou Yiming was very puzzled.

"Can't you use your own computer to see it?"

"Videos take too long to load, let's watch them together, and then we can go straight to gaming."

Zhou Yiming originally wanted to say that Youku videos load quite quickly, which was also a major reason why he switched from Tudou to Youku to watch videos.

The Youku team has the money to invest in bandwidth, and their technical team is familiar with domestic telecommunications services. With the same bandwidth, their video loading speed is faster than Tudou and other video websites.

Before he could speak, Lin Shaotao pressed the space bar again to end the pause.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiming had no choice but to lean in and listen.

After listening to the song, the two of them were utterly shocked.

The song is definitely good, no doubt about it.

The lyrics, "Who says those covered in mud aren't heroes?" and "Who says only those standing in the light are heroes?" resonate deeply with listeners.

Most importantly, both Lin Shaotao and Zhou Yiming recognized Cheng Feng as one of the male leads in the music video.

Because of the video whistleblowing that surfaced a couple of days ago, Cheng Feng has become the most famous student at Yanjingmao University, bar none.

Standing up and exposing the shady dealings was already incredibly impressive.

And just a few days later, they produced another music video like this.

This is going to blow up the entire internet!

Seeing the two of them huddled together, Jia Kuan assumed they were discussing some secret. He stood up, quietly walked behind them, and then suddenly patted them on the shoulder.

"What are you doing!"

Lin Shaotao and Zhou Yiming, who had already started watching the song for the second time, were startled. They looked up and told Jia Kuan to get out of the way and not disturb their listening to the song.

It was only then that Jia Kuan noticed the music video playing on Zhou Yiming's computer screen, and he also recognized Cheng Feng.

My first thought was, "Is this guy up to something again?"
Seeing that Lin Shaotao and Zhou Yiming were listening very attentively, Jia Kuan immediately leaned in and listened to the song with them.

After listening to it once, he felt it wasn't enough and immediately urged Zhou Yiming to listen to it again.

Jia Kuan listened to it three times in a row, while Lin Shaotao and Zhou Yiming listened to it four times before their heads finally separated.

"This song is amazing!"

Jia Kuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Lin Shaotao and Zhou Yiming exchanged a glance.

"I have an idea."

Lin Shaotao spoke first: "How about the three of us sing this song at the welcome party?"

Jia Kuan was the first to respond: "Sure, this song sounds great, it'll definitely be even more great to sing."

Lin Shaotao then looked at Zhou Yiming: "Sorry, it's already two to one, so you have to submit to the majority."

Zhou Yiming looked at the two of them and said very seriously, "Singing this song is no problem of course, but have you thought about something?"

Zhou Yiming pointed to the frozen MV frame on the computer screen: "If we sing this song, and they also sing this song at the welcome party, wouldn't we be showing off our skills in front of Guan Yu?"

Lin Shaotao said it was simple; all he had to do was call Gu Jia and ask Cheng Feng if he had signed up for the welcome party.

He then took out his phone and found Gu Jia's number.

Just as I was about to press the dial button, I suddenly received a text message.

Not only Lin Shaotao, but Zhou Yiming and Jia Kuan also received the text message on their phones.

The content is exactly the same.

"Following the notice from the school's Youth League Committee, all teachers and students are requested to log on to Youku and search for the MV 'The Lone Warrior' recorded by our students Cheng Feng and Wu Di to watch, and actively forward and spread it on various social networking sites and software."

After reading the text message, Lin Shaotao, Zhou Yiming, and Jia Kuan all had the illusion of returning to their elementary school days, when the school organized a movie screening for the whole school.

This is related to the line that appears at the end of the music video: "Dawn dispels the darkness, it's daytime."

Let's look at the school's approach of personally promoting the program.

Join if you can't.

This operation was definitely carried out in the atmosphere.
