Chapter 165 Bai Lu’s Love Salad (4k words please subscribe)
While Lin Qin was waiting in line for the finals of the top ten singers on campus, the judges in the classroom were all looking at today's list.
Xu Wanqing was a little surprised to see the name Lin Qin in today's finalists.
Vice Minister Niu Zhijie on the side asked curiously: "What's wrong with the minister?"
Xu Wanqing explained: "Isn't this Lin Qin the pretty boss who sponsors the top ten singers on our campus?"
The student union officer on the other side was also surprised: "Really? He also came to sign up for the top ten singers on campus?"
As soon as he heard the name Lin Qin, Niu Zhijie's brows furrowed.
Because these days, he is being discussed in the student union.
In previous years, the officers of the External Relations Department had to go out to solicit sponsorships, which was a very tiring job.
This year, Chayanxise has already reimbursed all the expenses before we even started soliciting sponsorships.
He is simply a noble person in the student union.
So up and down the student council, even the junior brothers and sisters, were discussing the freshman Lin Qin.
This made Niu Zhijie, who had always been vain, inevitably speechless.
After all, last year’s sponsorship was secured through his sharp tongue.
Everyone was praising themselves at that time.
He said that he was the backbone of the student union.
Now he has no role to play and has become a supporting role.
It also made him feel a little depressed.
Now that I saw the name Lin Qin and heard that he was going to sign up for the top ten singers competition on campus, he even joked ruthlessly: "Does he think that because he sponsored the top ten singers on campus, he can use the back door?"
Xu Wanqing shook her head and said, "I don't think so, because we don't know that he is going to participate in the finals. If he wants to use the back door, he must tell us in advance."
"Yes, I think he is also a person who loves to sing." The student union officer next to him explained.
Another person praised: "He's so awesome, he's young, he can start a business, he can sing, he's really versatile."
Niu Zhijie snorted: "Just wait and see, he must be tone-deaf and thinks he can come in through the back door. Anyway, I don't care whether he is a sponsor or a flirty boss. Minister Xu, let me first
Explain that I am sure it is fair and just."
When Xu Wanqing heard this, she quickly said: "Oh, you don't have to take it too seriously. After all, they have sponsored us so much. If he really doesn't sing well, even if he advances to the finals, he will still be eliminated in the preliminary round. We will treat it as
It’s just a favor.”
"Yes, Deputy Niu, if we want to achieve great things, we don't stick to trivial matters."
"It doesn't matter how rigid you are, I don't want him to go through the back door anyway. At worst, I will help you get sponsorship." Niu Zhijie said angrily and dissatisfied.
Xu Wanqing didn't know why he was so angry, and then looked at the others.
Others also looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
Xu Wanqing thought to herself that maybe Niu Zhijie, like girls, had an uncle.
She didn't pay too much attention.
The format of the play-in rounds is very simple.
Each person sings a song acapella, or picks the chorus and sings it for two minutes.
As long as three of the five judges vote and light up the pass card, the promotion will be considered successful.
Among them, Xu Wanqing, as the minister, has the right to two votes.
Not long after, the student union officer came to the front of the line.
After briefly explaining the rules, the first contestant in line was allowed to enter.
Then the participating student briefly introduced himself and started the a cappella singing session.
Maybe the first one to take the stage.
It's inevitable to be a little nervous.
Therefore, when entering the chorus, the notes were off-key and broken one after another.
Many judges directly showed their elimination cards.
When the stewards at the scene saw more than half of the elimination cards, they asked the participating students to stop the competition.
The participating student was quite shameless and insisted on finishing the song.
Then he left the classroom laughing.
Maybe he just came to experience it.
As the competition progressed, many students got passing cards.
The level of the players behind is also getting better and better.
There were even good singers who were collectively passed by the five judges.
Lin Qin's queue was getting further and further ahead.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, he was already the first person waiting.
While waiting for the previous contestant to take the exam, the girl from the student union standing next to Lin Qin asked him excitedly: "Hello, are you the boss with a pretty face?"
Lin Qin smiled and nodded.
After hearing this, the girl continued to ask: "That means you are the sponsor of our campus top ten singers competition."
Lin Qin continued to nod.
The girl immediately gave a thumbs up.
"I'm also a freshman, and I want to learn from you." She said with a smile.
Lin Qin also smiled: "Come on."
When the girl saw the guitar next to Lin Qin, she was a little surprised and asked, "Are you going to play the guitar later?"
"Yeah." Lin Qin replied.
"Then let me get the microphone for you later."
"good."
At this time, the participating students who were competing had already walked out of the classroom.
Xu Wanqing looked at the next list of contestants.
It turned out to be Lin Qin.
She was looking forward to it for a moment, and then she shouted: "The next contestant is entering."
After hearing this, the girl from the student union quickly said to Lin Qin: "Classmate, you are here, come on!"
After speaking, she also made a clenched fist gesture.
Lin Qin walked in immediately.
When he saw Xu Wanqing sitting on the podium, he also said hello with a smile.
Xu Wanqing didn't expect that it was Lin Qin himself. When she saw him coming in with a guitar, she thought that he must have come prepared.
Niu Zhijie met Lin Qin for the first time. When he saw Lin Qin's appearance, he felt a little jealous.
【Damn, he’s so handsome.】
But most boys would not praise him face to face. Instead, they would complain: "You even brought a guitar over. Did you know this is a finalist?"
Xu Wanqing said: "We didn't say we couldn't take guitars in the finals."
Xu Wanqing looked at Lin Qin and asked, "Do you want to play the guitar and sing?"
Lin Qin replied: "Yes, Minister, can I ask a classmate to hold the microphone for me?"
At this time, the girl standing at the door of the classroom immediately raised her hand and said, "Minister, I can do it."
Xu Wanqing smiled, then nodded.
The girl immediately walked over, picked up the microphone, and waited.
Lin Qin sat down, held the guitar and briefly adjusted it.
While waiting, the five judges discussed in private.
One of the judges' officers said to Xu Wanqing: "Minister, I think this Lin Qin must have two skills. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought the guitar here."
"Yes." Xu Wanqing also looked forward to Lin Qin's performance with admiration.
But Niu Zhijie joked: "You may not know that on the court, there is the most equipment, including sportswear, knee pads, expensive shoes, etc. Most of them can't play basketball well."
Xu Wanqing became puzzled when she saw that Niu Zhijie kept pushing Lin Qin.
I thought that there should be no intersection between these two people.
Why does Niu Zhijie keep targeting others?
At this time, Lin Qin looked at the judges and said, "Judges, I'm ready and can sing."
Xu Wanqing smiled and then said: "Okay, then you can sing."
The girl quickly picked up the phone and put it to Lin Qin's mouth.
Lin Qin introduced in advance: "Judges, the song I want to sing is "That Girl Said to Me"."
After this song was uttered, both the judges and the contestants waiting outside were very familiar with it.
After all, this song is on loop in some young people’s playlists.
"You are so awesome that you can sing this song."
"I want to listen to this song."
"I heard that he is a pretty and cheerful boss. Is it true or false?"
"It's true. I saw him when I went to Cha Yan Xise before."
"It's amazing. He's handsome, he can start a business, and he still has money. I wonder if he has a girlfriend?"
Lin Qin was brewing his emotions, and then gently played the guitar. Without too much foreshadowing, he sang the chorus directly.
In fact, if you sing the chorus right from the beginning, you will easily be eliminated due to broken notes or being out of tune.
But Lin Qin counterattacked.
"The girl said to me that I protected her dream
There are not many people like her in this world
She gradually forgot about me, but she didn't know
I am bruised and bruised, and I have never loved again for a day~~~"
When Lin Qin sang this climax, both the judges and everyone present were surprised by his singing.
If there are previous contestants who can get five judges' passing cards, then Lin Qin can definitely do it too.
So before she finished singing, the two steward judges beside Xu Wanqing had already raised their pass cards, indicating that Lin Qin's singing had been recognized.
Xu Wanqing also didn't expect that Lin Qin could sing so well.
But she was not in a hurry to show her cards.
After all, you can't just listen to part of a song. If he kept practicing these lines, wouldn't it be a lack of judgment?
Niu Zhijie frowned while listening to Lin Qin's singing.
Although he admitted that Lin Qin did have a lot of skills, he still didn't want him to advance from the bottom of his heart.
As for the third officer judge, when he saw that neither the minister nor the deputy minister raised a placard, he felt a little nervous.
He didn't know whether he should raise this card.
If you raise this card, it will have been approved by three votes.
And it seemed like Vice Minister Niu didn't really appreciate Lin Qin just now.
In order to avoid getting burned, the third judge did not show his cards directly, but waited for the two ministers to choose.
Lin Qin didn't see the cards on the judges' bench light up at this time. He just lowered his head and played the guitar and sang.
Finally, the two-minute period ended.
He also immediately thanked the girl who had been holding the microphone for him: "Thank you."
The girl was naturally happy and responded with a smile: "It's okay, you're welcome."
Then she returned to her position at the door of the classroom.
At this time, Lin Qin raised his head and looked at the judges.
Xu Wanqing also took the initiative to show her pass card after Lin Qin finished singing.
The third judge saw it and quickly raised it.
Xu Wanqing saw that Niu Zhijie on the side did not hold up the passing card, so she asked curiously: "Does Minister Niu think there is anything that needs to be improved in this contestant's singing?"
Originally Niu Zhijie didn't intend to hold up the sign, but after hearing Xu Wanqing ask this question, he naturally understood the meaning behind this sentence.
He coughed lightly, and then pretended to say: "No, I haven't had time to show my cards yet."
Finally, he showed the pass card.
Seeing this, Xu Wanqing looked at Lin Qin and said with a smile: "Congratulations, classmate Lin Qin, for passing the five judges and successfully advancing to the finals."
"Thank you, judges." Lin Qin did not forget to bow slightly before leaving, then took his guitar and left.
Two stewards and judges also noticed that before Lin Qin left, he moved the chair behind him slightly back to its original position.
This kind of detail also won the favor of the two senior girls.
"Sure enough, successful boys have such good details."
"Yes, he is really too thin."
Xu Wanqing laughed and said deliberately: "When you are looking for a boyfriend, you must look for this type. This is called a perfect boy."
After saying that, he glanced at Niu Zhijie at the side with his peripheral vision.
He looked a little speechless, leaning on his chair and turning his pen.
Lin Qin naturally didn't know these things.
He only knew that after he simply sang a song, he was approved by all the judges.
After walking out of the classroom, he immediately told Xiao Qiuting and He Bailu the good news.
Xiao Qiuting was the first to reply: [Really? It’s so awesome that all 5 judges passed it! It’s so awesome, no, you’ll treat me to ice cream later.]
Lin Qin laughed happily: "Okay, okay."
When he left the main building, He Bailu also sent a message and congratulated him immediately.
He Bailu: [That’s awesome, I’ll tell you it’s okay, then I’ll make a fruit salad tonight to celebrate. 】
Lin Qin: [Okay, thank you, Sister Lu.]
Lin Qin originally thought that after he passed the qualifying round, the next step would be a real competition of strength.
However, Niu Zhijie refused to let him do so.
After the selection of the finalists, Niu Zhijie found three other officers and judges alone.
Among the three officers and judges, two are girls and one is a boy.
They are all sophomore students.
Since Niu Zhijie is a junior, they basically respect Minister Niu.
One of the boys was named Chen Tao, and he asked Minister Niu: "Bubu Niu, do you have anything to do with us?"
Niu Zhijie explained: "You have to make sure that the ministers don't know about the things I'm telling you now."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was a little embarrassed.
Especially those two girls, you look at me and I look at you, they can only look at each other and smile.
Chen Tao has always been Niu Zhijie's follower, so he promised: "Mr. Niu, if you say anything, we will not tell the minister."
Niu Zhijie then said: "That's right, our sponsor this time is Chayanxise. As you know, Chayanxise's boss came to participate in the competition this afternoon, and his singing was pretty good, but..."
Things always have this turning point.
Niu Zhijie continued: "Our campus top ten singer competition has always been fair and just, but if someone finds out that the sponsor's boss appears on the list of contestants, what will they think? Even Lin Qin does have a little bit of skill.
, but many people still think he came through the back door."
"So in order to prevent our student union from suffering a loss of reputation, to continue the competition of the top ten singers on campus, and to maintain a significant presence in the hearts of the students, I suggest that we kick him out during the knockout round.
.”
As soon as these words came out, the three officers and judges looked at each other.
Chen Tao said awkwardly: "Minister Niu, but if Junior Brother Lin Qin is really good and beats other players, then can't we choose him too?"
"No." Niu Zhijie said righteously: "For the reputation of the student union, we must be this bad guy once. Believe me, there will be no problem."
"Okay then." Chen Tao finally agreed.
When Niu Zhijie saw that Chen Tao had agreed, he looked at the other two girls: "Huiqi, Shu Ting, what do you think?"
Huiqi and Shu Ting hesitated for a while, and finally nodded awkwardly.
"Okay, then you all agree. This will be done when the time comes. If anything happens, I'll be responsible for it."
After saying that, Niu Zhijie left.
After he left, one of the girls asked Chen Tao: "Are we really going to do this?"
Chen Tao waved his hand and said: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, we are just a small group of people. If anything happens, he will be responsible."
Then he shifted his target to the two girls and asked excitedly: "Would you like to go out for a smoothie together? Huiqi, Shu Ting."
Naturally, Lin Qin didn't know that he had been put on the road.
After treating Xiao Qiuting to eat ice cream, he made a special trip back to Bauhinia Community in the evening.
At this time, He Bailu was wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
Just after getting off work, she went to the fruit shop and bought a lot of fruits, planning to make a delicious fruit salad.
While doing it, she was looking forward to what Lin Qin would look like when he was eating salad.
"I must do it well and make him think that I am a capable woman."
