Chapter 24: The Star Effect
When Secretary Su received a call from the head of the Chinese Department, he was watching a literary program with the director of the Department of Finance and Mission. The director of this department also graduated from the Department of Finance of Capital University, so he was invited by the head of this department. Considering that this director is a powerful figure in the Ministry of Mission, Secretary Su chose to participate in the evening party of the Department of Finance among the many invitation letters.
At first, Secretary Su heard the head of the Chinese department on the phone that Minister Du Yuan had arrived at the party scene of their department, and he didn't believe it was true. It was only after the head of the department said that Minister Du was sitting next to him and that he had already come to the stage to give them important instructions, that he was surprised and delighted and hurriedly told him on the phone: "Director Duan, you must do everything possible to keep Minister Du, and Director Qiu and I will rush over immediately! In addition, you should inform the other school leaders and let them all rush to the scene of the Chinese department's evening party within ten minutes!"
When the director surnamed Qiu, who was sitting next to him, heard that Minister Du had also come to the school, he quickly stood up in a hurry, took Secretary Su's hand and walked outside, and said as he walked: "Secretary Su, we have to hurry over! If we're late, we'll probably not be able to see him!"
The two people hurried to the auditorium where the Chinese Department held the evening party, and saw that there were already several vice principals standing at the door, all waiting for Secretary Su to take them in and introduce them to Minister Du.
When Secretary Su and the others entered, Minister Du was watching a cross talk program on the stage with great interest, and applauded gracefully from time to time. The audience below all followed his rhythm: as soon as he applauded, there was thunderous applause below, and as soon as he stopped, there was silence below.
Secretary Su and Director Qiu took a few vice principals, bypassed the front row and walked straight to the middle, and when they saw that Minister Du was really sitting in the most central position, they hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Minister Du one by one.
The leaders of the Chinese Department sitting in the front row saw that the school leaders had come here without landing, and quickly and consciously stood up and gave them their seats.
Secretary Su and Director Qiu sat down next to Minister Du on the left and right. Secretary Su saw that Minister Du's expression was always faint, thinking that he was blaming himself for coming late, and he couldn't figure out the purpose of his coming, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, so he accosted and said: "Minister Du, you came to inspect the Chinese Department of our school, and none of our team members knew about it, so I didn't come to greet him in time, I'm really sorry!"
Minister Du stared at the stage with his eyes and said casually: "Secretary Su, I'm not here to inspect tonight. I have a friend who has forgotten the New Year, that is, the host Xiao Leng on the stage, who invited me to come over and have a look at the gala he organized. I happened to be free tonight, so I came over. Leave me alone, go about your business!"
Secretary Su and several main leaders of the school looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out how there were such powerful characters among the students of the school, so they casually invited a dignified minister to the scene of a department gala that could not be put on the stage.
Secretary Su hurriedly turned around and quietly asked the head of the Chinese department who had already sat in the back row of him: "What is the name of the student who presided over the stage? Which level and which class?"
The head of the department scratched his head, shook his head and said in confusion: "I don't know his specific situation, I only know that his name is Sneer." I'll ask the tutor about it and I'll report back to you!"
At this time, Sneer Xiaotian walked out of the backstage again, held the microphone, and asked in a sensational tone: "Teachers and classmates at the scene, do you know Hong Kong star Ning Qing?"
"Yes!"
Many of the people below responded.
"If I say that we invited Ning Qing to come to our party tonight and sing for us, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!"
The people below replied almost in unison.
Sneering Tian smiled and continued to sensationalize: "Is it good for us to be like this? Believe it or not, everyone will have some warm applause and screams first, and then follow me to shout 'Ning Qing! Ning Qing', maybe a miracle will happen!"
The people below thought that he was telling a joke to adjust the atmosphere, or that he had invited someone who could imitate Ning Qing's singing, so they all cooperated and shouted "Ning Qing!Ning Qing!" after him, and some of them let out screams and whistles playfully.
Soon, the audience saw that a singer with a long skirt and a variety of styles appeared in the shadows behind the stage, holding a wireless microphone and walking to the center of the stage.
The spotlight of the scene immediately fell on her.
"Wow! It seems to be really Ning Qing!"
Someone in the audience immediately shouted in surprise.
But most people still didn't believe that the person on the stage was really Ning Qing, and they all stretched their necks and tried their best to identify it.
Ning Qing waved her hand elegantly on the stage, and said with a smile in Mandarin full of Hong Kong flavor: "Hello everyone, I am Ning Qing! I am very happy to be invited by my friend Mr. Sneng Xiaotian to come to Capital University and spend a happy evening with all the teachers and students! Everyone may also know that I have been in the hospital for treatment some time ago because of poor health, and I have not been singing on stage for a long time. Today is the first time I have attended a public event since my condition improved. Although the scale of this gala of the Chinese Department is small and the grade is not high, it is the most important and happiest event I have participated in since I began my acting career, and it is also a new beginning of my life, my ideals, and my love! Below, I am honored to invite Mr. Sneng Xiaotian to sing a song with me, the name of this song is --- "If You Can Be Earlier". ”
At this time, the people in the audience finally realized that this beautiful woman standing on that humble stage with a topic in hand was indeed the big star Ning Qing they had loved for a long time, admired and admired for a long time!
All of a sudden, the whole auditorium was boiling. Shouts, screams, whistles, and even cries of excitement as they finally saw the idol of their dreams filled the auditorium, threatening to tear the entire auditorium open......
More people began to pull out their phones to report the exciting news to their classmates and friends and family in other departments.
Soon, the entire campus of Capital University was also boiling.
As soon as the teachers and students who got the news heard that Ning Qing was preparing for a performance at the scene of the Chinese Department, they all left the party scene of the department in a flock and rushed to the Chinese Department.
The gala activities of several departments were originally carried out well, and the singing and dancing were in full swing, when suddenly the audience stood up one after another and hurriedly squeezed out of the scene. In just a few minutes, the auditorium was empty, with only the leaders in the front row and a handful of dozens of spectators.
The entrance of the auditorium where the Chinese Department was engaged in activities was crowded. The flow of people from all sides of the campus rolled in like a long dragon, and a huge whirlpool of people swirled at the entrance of the auditorium. Everyone was clamoring to be the first to squeeze in Ning Qing's face, and they were afraid that they would miss Ning Qing's time to sing, so the entrance of the auditorium was very crowded.
Several teachers from the Chinese Department wanted to maintain the order of admission, but they were rushed by the flow of people at the door and rushed them directly into the auditorium. Two of them were unsteady on their feet, and they fell to the ground on their backs.
Because the auditorium was too small and there were too many people pouring over, many teachers and classmates who wanted to see Ning Qing were blocked outside the auditorium door, so anxious that they kept yelling!
On the stage of the auditorium, Sneer Xiaotian and Ning Qing held hands and were singing the duet of Ning Qing's carefully selected love song - "If You Could Have Earlier":
"My girl, you're so fast in an instant
I can no longer untie the rope of love
Hi my boy, you are instantly like love
Your presence convinces me that dreams really exist
Hold your hand and kiss your forehead
Don't let you run away again
I want to just hold you tightly
From now until later
If only it could have been earlier
We meet and miss
How willing I am to alienate you so easily
If only it could have been earlier
Please keep me by your side
I'll show up when I need to
If only it could have been earlier
Love becomes cutting-edge
Why do you always hide so far
If only it could have been earlier
I'll be there for you
Because this life has been destined for me to love you"
Sneering and seeing Ning Qing in front of so many teachers and classmates, the more she sang, the more she sang, the more affectionate she became, and her eyes became more and more blurry when she looked at herself, as if she was completely integrated into the artistic conception created by the lyrics, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and she sang out of tune several times.
Fortunately, the audience's attention was all on Ning Qing, and no one cared about Sneer's out-of-tune, just applauded and screamed feverishly, or sang along with Ning Qing.
After finishing the song, Jiang Xuemin came out of the backstage, took Ning Qing's hand and shouted excitedly to the audience: "Teachers, students, today is a particularly memorable day for our Chinese Department! Just tonight, we are honored to have two of the most distinguished guests. One is Minister Du of the Central Propaganda Department, and the other is Sister Ning Qing, who is standing with me now. To be honest, before the party began, I didn't know that our former student union president, Seng Xiaotian, would invite such a distinguished guest for us. When Sister Ning Qing walked out of the backstage and stood on this stage, I thought I was dreaming! Now, we have all seen it, we are not dreaming, Minister Du and Sister Ning Qing have really come to our scene! Next, let us welcome our two distinguished guests to sing a classic folk song for us with the warmest applause: "Ao Bao Meeting". ”
As soon as Jiang Xuemin's words fell, Secretary Su and Director Qiu immediately stood up and took the lead in applauding.
The auditorium resounded with thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.
