Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

"Uh..." Oh no, I didn't hear what was just said.

Just then, China heard a soft prompt from the person in front of her: "It's in the middle of the right-hand page."

Chapter 70 Boss Direct Recruitment

At the crucial moment when she stood up, unsure of how to answer, China heard Shoko's suggestion.

She had thought that Xiangzi would ignore her because of the fact that she had played "Spring Shadow" and inadvertently revealed the song title.

"Thank you so much, my dear sister," China thought to herself.

Then, he lowered his head slightly, glanced discreetly at the paragraph Xiangzi had pointed out, and replied:

"The conditions for a string to form a stable standing wave are: the two ends of the string must be fixed and cannot move freely; the string must be vibrated at a constant frequency, which must be the resonant frequency of the string; and the length of the string must be an integer multiple of the wavelength."

"Very good, please sit down."

The teacher moved to the next slide and played a video of someone playing the guitar.

Due to the "jelly effect" of the camera, the top-down scanning shutter, unable to keep up with the frequency of the guitar's vibrations, produced a strange and wonderful image.

Each time the guitar string is plucked, it twists into a uniform, undulating wave, which is visually represented as a standing wave.

"It looks like so much fun. I've seen it in videos before. I'll record one myself next time and try it out."

Because Xiangzi had just helped her, Qiannai excitedly leaned closer to the table to chat.

However, the other person then fell silent and listened attentively to the teacher's lecture.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Having just been called on by the teacher to answer a question, China didn't dare to be distracted and immediately began to listen attentively to the lesson.

After focusing for about three minutes, she took out her phone again and looked at the draft in the chat box, considering whether she should revise it.

During the chat, he expressed his apologies for making Shoko sad by playing the song "Kasuga Kage," and used his love for the song as the reason for playing it.

But considering that he had just finished class and was in a band with Xiangzi, if he now said that he was playing Spring Shadow just because he liked the song, then his intentions would be too easy to see through.

Of course, the suggestion to bring Xiangzi back to the band was just a casual remark.

After all, as Xiangzi said, it's not worth it for everyone else to strive for commercialization just because of her own financial problems.

Looking back at the previous idea, it was actually just that by playing this song again, Xiangzi could slowly face and accept her past, just like when she looked back at this song with the lamp, so as to clear away the obstacles in the relationship between the lamp and Xiangzi.

However, this line of thinking was still dominated by the obsessive desire to reunite Deng and Xiangzi, which led to the neglect of some details.

Unlike Deng, Xiangzi was not simply avoiding the issue of the band's disbandment, but rather the fact that her economic situation had deteriorated to the point where she was forced to leave the band.

Given the magnitude of the blow she suffered, forcing her to confront the past would be too self-centered.

Are we about to fall into another period of reflection?

The voice in her heart seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, and it rang out again as China considered whether she should proceed more cautiously with her next plan.

Are you doing this to avoid making me anxious? But I think some reflection is necessary.

Or perhaps this approach will guide me to be more aggressive in my actions, thus allowing things to develop in the way I desire.

I'm not saying you shouldn't reflect, but I want to remind you not to let reflection lead to anxiety, but rather to maintain rational reflection.

You're trying to avoid the anxiety and unease that comes from constantly dwelling on whether you've made a mistake, right?

??Yes……

The voice in my heart seems to act as a detection mechanism, becoming a barrier when my symptoms are about to occur or worsen.

Just like now, remind yourself to reflect calmly and rationally, instead of getting caught up in anxiety.

It seems this voice says it wants to appreciate the fragmented scene, but is still quite concerned about itself.

Don't overthink it. I just don't want you to completely break down and become incapacitated before those amazing scenes even happen.

Are you referring to severe somatization when you say you can't move?

There are many symptoms of somatization.

Numbness and trembling in hands and feet, body aches, shortness of breath...

When China was experiencing severe anxiety in the past, she also had symptoms of arrhythmia.

As for severe somatization symptoms...

China came across a video of a person with depression whose somatization symptoms manifested as waxy curvature.

As the name suggests, it's like a wax figure lying on the bed. Even with the pillow removed, its head remains still, and if you raise its hand above its head, it won't fall down on its own.

The voice inside me seemed to want to prevent myself from getting into such a serious situation before I saw anything funny.

Okay, go and think calmly, and be mindful of your emotions to avoid becoming anxious.

First, think about the song "Spring Shadow" and what impact it would have if the news that Shoko is a member of Crychic spread throughout the class.

On her first day in class, disguised as Xiangzi, she learned that Xiangzi had always been quite aloof in the class.

So now most students won't come up to Xiangzi to ask him questions, because they know Xiangzi won't answer.

Of course, there are also a few people who just like to strike up conversations, regardless of the other person's attitude, they will come over and ask a couple of questions.

Then, after not getting an answer from Xiangzi, he would come to ask himself, the one who sings and plays the Spring Shadow.

Hmm... it would be best to just keep quiet about it.

During this time, the image of spring will likely echo repeatedly in the classroom.

Thanks to Xiangzi's excellent arrangement and Crychic's successful performance, the students will probably listen to that live song on repeat during breaks.

Every now and then, students would hum the melody of this song.

I'm sorry, Xiao Xiang, please just get used to it...

The key issue to address now is the psychological impact of Xiangzi's changing economic situation.

Perhaps Xiangzi has become less gentle and docile due to the dual pressures and hardships of work and studies, but this is not the main reason for her coldness towards others.

The main reason is still... money.

They are busy and busy because of money, and they seize every second to learn so that they can earn more money in the future.

She naturally didn't want to spend her time socializing with others. Under heavy pressure, she didn't want to waste time chatting, especially when her classmates were in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. This contrast made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Once economic conditions improve and life pressures are reduced, one's mindset will also improve.

And naturally, she was willing to make time to chat with the members of Crychic... That's what China thought.

As for how to solve Xiangzi's financial problems, giving her money directly is definitely not the right thing to do.

Chika actually agrees more with Shoko's idea of ​​a "win-win" situation, which is a solution that benefits both sides and is more acceptable to Shoko.

You might want Xiangzi to be your older sister, and offer her money – that's a rather special offer, but Xiangzi probably wouldn't accept it. She'd still prefer a proper job.

So, let's create a job for her.

……

When the bell rang, China stood next to Shoko and was about to speak when Shoko interrupted her.

“It is your freedom to play Spring Shadow, there is no need to say more.”

China smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Uh, that's not what I came here to talk about."

"What are you going to talk about?" Xiangzi asked while tidying up her textbooks, guessing that Qiannai wouldn't be talking about anything serious.

After a slight pause, Chika asked, "Have you ever thought about finding an easy job that pays well?"

Xiangzi sighed. Sure enough, Qiannai was spouting nonsense again.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Many online job postings for students have risks."

"It's not those things..."

China waved her hand.

"Actually, it's because you've already demonstrated your insights into planning and operations."

"So, I'd like to ask, are you interested in operating a virtual YouTuber?"

Chapter 71 Don't believe or spread rumors

"Virtual streamer..."

Upon hearing this term, Xiangzi thought of something in common between virtual streamers and the customer service work he currently does.

That means they all work behind the scenes and don't need to reveal their real identities.

I've always focused on live band performances, and my understanding of the virtual YouTuber industry is limited.

In her understanding, the top YouTube virtual YouTubers earn a considerable income, but the list is mostly dominated by corporate influencers.

To get a job at a company, you have to go through a selection process and have your guardian sign the contract on your behalf.

Getting my alcoholic jerk dad out of bed, dressed in a suit and belt, and shoved into the office to sign some papers was really tough...

The young master of the Toyokawa family is wearing such ill-fitting clothes.

Why do you look so dejected? You look like you're about to fall asleep any minute now.

Xiangzi couldn't help but imagine the boos from others when he signed the document.

Regardless of whether his daughter's dignity could be maintained, Xiangzi was truly afraid that one day this bastard would get drunk and shout at their doorstep, "My daughter works for XX Project! Please pay attention, I'd be extremely grateful!"

However, Chizuru asked, "Are you interested in operating a virtual YouTuber?" which means...

"Do you think those companies would hire a high school student to run the operations?" Xiangzi subconsciously felt that Qiannai was talking about something unrealistic again.

"What if I told you that you could manage an individual streamer's account and also debut as a streamer yourself?"

China sat down at her desk, turned her head to look at Shoko, and revealed a kind of confidence that was inexplicable to Shoko.

But for independent live streamers, aside from close family or friends, who would want to hire a high school student with little experience?

However, it seems even more unrealistic to debut without relying on any company.

Like a dream...

Xiangzi turned around and checked Qiannai's expression. She looked very clear-headed, especially much more energetic than when she sang "Spring Day Shadow".

She questioned him: "Do you know much about this industry? I don't recall many streamers with any influence or popularity anymore. Or are you having another episode of your illness...?"

"I have bipolar disorder, not intermittent stupidity."

China interrupted, then looked around to make sure no one was listening, only to find that several people had already gathered around with smiles on their faces.

"China, your breath control is so steady! You sang the chorus of this song so easily."

"I envy how quickly the strings can be tuned."

"China, our band is short a guitarist and vocalist..."

"Didn't someone from the next class come over and say they wanted to be a guitarist and lead singer? Don't you guys think we need more?"

"At that time, we hadn't thought of the dual lead singer option."

"If we don't need more people, let's put those who do need more in our band first. Chika, would you be interested in being our guitarist?"

"It's such a waste of her talent to only have her as a guitarist!"

……

Suddenly, I became very popular.

Surrounded by so many people, it wasn't convenient to explain the situation to Xiangzi, otherwise everyone would know that he was a virtual streamer, and his information as someone who hadn't even debuted would be exposed.

So we still need to choose the lunch break time to explain it to Xiangzi.

Right now, I need to deal with all the invitations from so many people.

"that……"

Chizuru twirled a strand of hair with her index finger, looking a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I already have a band."

Fortunately, that statement was true, since I was going to RiNG and chat with the band members that afternoon.

Otherwise, if I use it as an excuse to politely decline their offers, I'll have to spend a lot of effort to cover up the lie.

Some classmates looked disappointed, but it was only natural that someone with such talent would already be in the band.
