As everyone knows, in such contests, it’s always better to perform later.
First, you can observe the other contestants, gain a better understanding, and make adjustments based on their performances.
Second, the later performances tend to leave a deeper impression on the audience.
After hearing this teacher’s words, An Nuonuo was stunned.
Jiang Xu then asked, “Isn’t that wrong, Teacher? We were clearly scheduled to be the third to last on stage.”
“I have changed it,” the teacher said coldly. “Get ready quickly, or you’ll be considered as having forfeited.”
“Heh,” Jiang Xu sneered. “Do you know what this means?”
“I don’t need your reminder. After the event is over, I will resign voluntarily. But now, you must go first!”
It goes without saying that this must be Huang Xiaofei’s doing.
Only he had both the capability and the motive.
Apparently, he made an offer the teacher couldn’t refuse, willing to stake his career to put Jiang Xu in a tight spot.
“Fine; first it is, then.”
Jiang Xu quickly adjusted his mood and, taking An Nuonuo by the hand, headed for the stage.
The very nervous An Nuonuo, upon having her hand grasped by Jiang Xu, instantly felt reassured.
With Jiang Xu by her side, she felt as though she could face the malice of the whole world without fear.
Love can make a person incredibly strong and brave.
Of course, it can also easily destroy someone.
The two of them walked out hand in hand, their steps firm and steady.
“Applause!”
In an instant, there erupted a thunderous wave of applause and cheers.
This golden boy and jade girl were the focus of attention wherever they went.
“Nuonuo is the most beautiful, Jiang Xu is the most handsome, a match made in heaven!”
Fu Yanjie and the cheer squad, upon seeing Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo come out, began waving their banners and shouting themselves hoarse.
A twitch formed at the corner of Jiang Xu’s mouth.
Good cheering, but don’t do it next time.
“Respected judges, teachers, and fellow students, hello, I am Jiang Xu.”
“I am An Nuonuo.”
“Today, the song we will perform is still my original—’The Brightest Star in the Night Sky’…”
Backstage.
Teacher Zhang came to the area where the sound equipment was set up.
She said to the staff, “Turn off their mics.”
“What?” The staff member was baffled.
Teacher Zhang, with a cold face, said, “Just do it, I will take full responsibility for the consequences.”
After hesitating for a while, the staff member reluctantly complied.
After all, he was just a minor technician and couldn’t compete with such authority.
“Can the brightest star in the night sky hear, the loneliness and sighs at the bottom of the viewer’s heart…”
Teacher Zhang’s face changed, and she couldn’t help but look towards the front stage, “What’s going on?”
The staff member quickly explained, “I turned off their mics. The only possibility is that they are using their own, which aren’t affected.”
Teacher Zhang’s face darkened, “Those two little rascals sure are tough to deal with.”
But this hardly posed a problem for her.
She then told the staff, “Turn off the accompaniment. Later we can say there was a problem with the tape they provided.”
“Alright… it’s off.”
“I would rather keep all the pain in my heart than forget your eyes.”
However, even with the accompaniment turned off, there was no effect on the outside.
At this point, Teacher Zhang was completely flabbergasted.
Was this some kind of sorcery?
In a corner, Yang Qi saw all this and sneered to herself.
She thought their boss was really prophetic.
He had anticipated that someone might tamper with the equipment at the last and most crucial moment.
Therefore, she had been instructed to discreetly connect the competition’s sound system to an external line.
So even though they had turned off the accompaniment here, it remained unaffected.
The audience below was enthralled.
The judges were nodding their heads in approval.
Not to mention the pair’s singing abilities.
They might not compare to professional singers, but they were outstanding among amateurs.
Their image, as well as their status as national top scholars, added bonus points.
Of course, there was also a crucial point: the songs Jiang Xu “composed” were all very positive.
This was the scene the school and the higher-ups enjoyed seeing.
So, when the two of them finished their performance, the judges, all gave them full marks, ten out of ten.
This basically meant the champion’s throne was already reserved.
The audience once again erupted into incredibly enthusiastic applause.
Everyone thought the score was well-deserved.
Only Huang Xiaofei, sitting in a corner, felt awful.
She had no interest in watching any further and left her seat to leave.
After saying a few words of thanks to An Nuonuo, Jiang Xu left the stage.
Yang Qi was the first to rush up: “Boss, just as you expected, someone tried to tamper with the equipment.”
Jiang Xu looked toward Teacher Zhang.
With an expressionless face, Teacher Zhang said, “Every action has its own consequences, I will resign.”
“Heh,” Jiang Xu laughed ambiguously, “Never has someone who crossed me got away unscathed.
I will have someone investigate whether you have done anything inappropriate at the school over the years.
If so, I will hire the best legal team in the country to send you on a free trip to jail.”
Teacher Zhang’s face completely changed at this.
She knew a bit about Jiang Xu’s background and that he had the capability to do this.
And indeed, her hands weren’t clean over the years and wouldn’t withstand scrutiny.
Her attitude softened immediately, slightly bowing her waist: “Jiang, I was forced into this, I beg for your mercy.”
Jiang Xu replied, “I still prefer the way you were unrestrained and defiant before, revert to that.”
Teacher Zhang:
Jiang Xu wasn’t going to let her off.
In the end, she could only leave in disgrace.
With the blinding results of Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.
The rest of the contestants were under immense pressure.
Several of them even made mistakes.
Ultimately, when all the contestants had finished their performances, unsurprisingly, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo emerged as the final winners.
The two took the stage again.
Under the glare of the flashing cameras, the executives personally went on stage to present them with the certificates of honor.
They also spoke some encouraging words.
Truth be told, Jiang Xu was quite moved.
Then they invited both of them to share their feelings about winning the award.
Naturally, their responses followed the official script.
They aimed not for astonishment but for a gaffe-free speech.
By the time it ended, it was already past two o’clock in the afternoon.
Fu Yanjie and An Nuonuo’s roommates all ran over.
They were all voicing their congratulations.
Everybody knew what it meant for Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo to receive this honor.
It signified that they had received the honor.
Now, Huang Xiaofei dared not harm Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo’s lives even more.
Jiang Xu laughed, “Tonight, let’s hit up a five-star hotel, my treat.”
Everyone let out cheers.
It’s just a pity that Jia Tengying and Jin Xiansheng were not there.
These two were so busy grinding away that they hadn’t come to see the competition and missed out on a great meal.
In the evening, everyone from the two dormitories gathered in a five-star hotel.
Jiang Xu booked a big room and ordered one of every type of top-tier ingredient.
If they couldn’t finish, he let everyone take leftovers home.
The atmosphere in the private room was also very good.
After eating enough, they began singing in the room.
Fu Yanjie bellowed at the top of his lungs.
His wife rolled her eyes at him non-stop.
Wu Mengmeng and Xia Xiaozhan felt bad for freeloading, so they teamed up again to perform a hot dance.
This time, Fu Yanjie dared not watch.
Jiang Xu laughed heartily and called him a wimp.
They ate and drank until past eleven and were exhausted when Jiang Xu finally paid the bill and prepared to leave.
But just then, he received another piece of good news…
