In that case, we could definitely be in a band for life...

In fact, Ai Yin believed that if she were called upon to sing and play an instrument during the afternoon physics class, her accent would be secondary, since her classmates were not from London.

However, if the guitar part of the verse is simply covered up with simple chords, then the high notes in the vocals definitely need to be sung well.

Sigh, if only China hadn't chosen such a high-pitched song.

...No, that's not right. China chose this song to teach Akari how to sing high notes. It just so happens that she chose a simple guitar tab because she also took care of herself. We can't put the cart before the horse.

China used the way her teacher taught her as a model to teach Aine and Akari, and the two of them gradually got the hang of it.

"Both of you are quite talented and learn very quickly, but if you want to see significant improvement, at least a month is needed. Please keep up the good work."

"Yes, I'll do my best!" Deng said with fighting spirit.

"Um...me too." Aine's tone wasn't as intense.

Does it take a month to improve...?

But there's a high probability that it will be my turn to perform on stage in the afternoon.

Although she could sing the song if she tried, Ai Yin wanted to sing it even more beautifully when she went on stage.

If you don't perform well in your first solo performance, you'll have fewer opportunities to shine next time.

After all, with China in the band, he would probably just be the rhythm guitarist and wouldn't have many highlight moments in the band.

Unless you compose a solo section for yourself in the piece.

Otherwise, people's impression of me will always be that of me when I go up on stage in physics class, that "ordinary" person.

I wish it wouldn't be my turn...

"correct"

As the lesson ended and China was about to leave, she seemed to remember something.

"Is our class's physics teacher also teaching your class?"

"Ah."

Aine nodded slowly, guessing that China was gradually realizing why she was also so obsessed with learning singing techniques.

"Has the part about string vibration been taught?"

Chika then asked, and received a "no" from Aine.

So, before leaving, China made a remark that seemed casual but was not without purpose.

"If Aine is called up on stage to play the guitar, then Akari should also go up and sing along."

Then, China closed the door and left.

"??" The lamp was a little surprised, and then looked at Aine with a slightly blank expression.

"Little Lamp, actually I..." Ai Yin trailed off.

Just now, when Deng saw how hard I was trying to learn to sing, did he think I was working hard for the band?

"Um...it's nothing, it's just that if the physics teacher asks me to perform on stage this afternoon, would Deng be willing to sing a duet with me?"

"I am willing!"

The lamp replied almost immediately, and then slowly stated its thoughts.

“I think… singing in the classroom is also an opportunity to perform… it can be a warm-up before a live performance.”

Ai Yin smiled with a sense of relief.

Having a light on while playing makes the pressure feel less.

Thank you, Chizuru.

"Hmm... let's continue training then."

Chapter 76 Xiao Xiang's First Interview

As China gradually entered the music room, the melody of the piano music became increasingly clear.

The girl with flaxen hair... remains a classic song.

The tempo was slightly fast, and the player was aware of this. However, she wasn't playing for others to listen to, but rather to release her stress.

The focused study at school and the patient and gentle attitude she maintained as a customer service representative both contributed to the constant accumulation of pressure.

Using your hobbies to relieve stress is a perfect way to do so.

But there's another reason for the slightly faster tempo, which the player is less willing to admit.

She was nervous.

Based on the assumption that China might be a notable figure in the virtual YouTuber industry, and with the prospect of China testing her abilities, Shoko couldn't help but feel this way.

It's normal to feel nervous. It's inevitable to feel nervous during interviews, meetings, performances, or anything that's important to you. As long as you stay focused and think things through, and don't panic, you'll be fine.

Despite being nervous in front of this "restless younger sister," Xiangzi was still somewhat dismissive.

It's not that she's officially recognized China as her younger sister, it's just that she insists on portraying herself as such...

"Xiao Xiang."

China entered the room.

However, it wasn't the time when he sat in the back row, behaving disrespectfully, fiddling with Xiangzi's hair, and even tying his own hair into Xiangzi's.

Instead, she tied her hair into a high ponytail, held a tablet in her hand, and looked like a serious interviewer.

Presenting this image was not something China was used to, but after all, this time they were really talking about their careers.

In addition, he felt that Xiangzi probably didn't want him to be joking around, so he did it.

On the piano stand in front of Xiangzi was a notebook with excerpts of information about virtual streamers and some operational drafts, indicating that he had come prepared.

Seeing China's serious expression, Shoko's somewhat conflicted feelings eased a little.

It seems my notes weren't a waste of time; they've become fodder for casual conversation.

Before Xiangzi could even pick up the notebook, Qiannai spoke up like a demanding superior:

"I don't really want to be carrying a laptop around looking at plans all the time."

"This is just a draft, later..."

Before Xiangzi could finish his statement, Qiannai said what Xiangzi was going to say, displaying a rather assertive attitude.

“I know this is a draft, and I know you mean that the final version will be more formal and rigorous.”

Then, China added in a critical tone:

"But what I need afterward is to be able to see your drafts and your ideas anytime, anywhere."

"Are you planning to write down your ideas in your notebook, take a picture of the draft, and send it to me?"

"If the teacher just took a picture of the paper and sent it to me to do, I definitely wouldn't complete the assignment."

Xiangzi increasingly felt that Qiannai's previous approachable demeanor was an act, and that she had become a familiar client once the business was discussed.

After figuring out what the other party wanted, Xiangzi continued in a calm tone.

"Okay. When I have a new draft, if you want to see it promptly, I will either make a scanned copy or send it as a document."

“It doesn’t work! Wu Yu,” Qian Nai said, turning her back and waving her hand.

Then she realized that she seemed to be acting too enthusiastically, and even started speaking in dialect.

"What……"

Xiangzi thought she hadn't heard clearly and was a little dazed when Qiannai handed her a tablet.

A Samsung tablet that supports touchscreen with an electromagnetic pen offers an excellent handwriting and drawing experience, and is also well-suited for office work.

China turned her back and walked towards the window, saying:

"It's fine to use a typed document for the official content."

"However, during the draft stage, I am more used to making mind maps by hand. But I feel that when making a draft, it is inevitable to think and make corrections as you go. After it is finished, in order to show it to others, I have to write another version without corrections."

"If you use a tablet for hand-drawing, you can simply delete the parts you want to change, and you can also collaborate with multiple people online."

"I hope you can adapt to modern office conditions."

"I'm not a traditionalist who sticks to his own ideas," Xiangzi said, as he tried writing a few sentences on the tablet with the electromagnetic pen. The writing was indeed quite smooth.

"Really? I thought you were planning to fax me paper notes when you discussed plans remotely in the future."

China said half-jokingly, but she felt she was getting carried away and was getting a little too forward, so she wanted to tone it down.

However, these emotions were too difficult to suppress.

Being the client is so great...

"Okay, I see."

Xiangzi did not show any anger, but maintained her humble yet assertive attitude as an applicant, which seemed to be her professional ethics.

"Then, would it be convenient for you to demonstrate this modern office process?" Xiangzi asked modestly.

Chika approached Shoko, calmly pulled one hand out from behind her back, opened the multi-person document collaboration software, and created a blank page.

She then took a few steps away and retrieved her phone and an electromagnetic pen.

"Now, suppose we are discussing a plan remotely. Could you share your insights on the virtual YouTuber industry?"

At Qiannai's prompting, Xiangzi wrote the words "virtual anchor" on the blank page, then drew three directional keys next to the words, and wrote the words "collaboration," "quality," and "features" respectively at the points indicated by the arrows.

These should be the three key points that Xiangzi valued.

At this moment, Qiannai's phone also showed Xiangzi's name, with the word "quality" crossed out in red.

Upon seeing Chizuru's changes, Xiangzi couldn't help but twitch her cheeks slightly, and then she quickly retracted the strokes she had made.

"Wait a minute, that was just a demonstration, I didn't deny the importance of live stream quality!" Qiannai quickly clarified.

Although it was just a demonstration, Xiangzi did get a taste of the charm of modern office work.

In the past, the client would stand next to the vendor's computer, pointing and gesturing, occasionally tapping the screen, wishing it were a touchscreen.

Now we can truly draw lines and circles on plans anytime, anywhere.

"Okay, that concludes the demonstration. From now on, we'll discuss the plan online like this. Of course, I won't do what I did earlier, making corrections to the plan before you even started speaking."

China put her phone away and said,

"Now you can use your notebook to explain."

"Ok"

Xiangzi felt that when that time came, if Qiannai's condition worsened, he could draw mind maps on the page to explain, while Qiannai doodled little figures on the other side of the same page.

"I'm not clear about the current trend of individual streamers on your side, so I'll just talk about some general content."

She took her notebook off the piano stand and began explaining the "interconnection" part.

Xiangzi believes that the best way to attract traffic in the early stages is to collaborate with well-known livestreamers in the industry, and he talked about some key points of such collaborations.

After listening, Qian Nai nodded and said, "That's right, but I already have a certain amount of initial traffic."

Upon hearing this, it seemed to confirm a highly improbable suspicion in his mind, and Xiangzi's demeanor became serious and cautious.

"You are……"

"I'm."

Chapter 77 The Dignity Pressed Down

……

Upon hearing this name, Xiangzi felt a strong shock, a sense of oppression emanating from Qianna.

She had anticipated it, and precisely because the possibility of anticipating it was so low, the shock she felt after learning that China was indeed China was hard to dispel.

Do you remember on Chinatsu's first day at the school, when she asked Chinatsu what her thoughts were on the arrangement of the song "Wayhome," Chinatsu didn't demonstrate any music theory level and simply replied with a simplistic statement like "If I bet right, it will be a hit."

Seeing that China was in low spirits, Xiangzi comforted her, saying that she had a strong intuition for music.

As it turned out... the creator of the song that I had been pondering and researching for so long was right in front of me.

And it was precisely the person sitting behind me, someone who had shown a sense of inferiority in front of me, someone who played the role of a restless younger sister, someone who made me impatient...
