After a while, the lights on the stage dimmed and the party began.
Although it is a department-level performance, it is very exciting.
This is Tao Min’s last large-scale event as the president of the Department of Economics and Management’s Arts Department.
Next semester, as a prospective senior, she will be busy with graduation projects and internships. Naturally, she will have no time to manage the Arts Department. She will have to step down after New Year's Day to make way for others.
As a retreat, Tao Min planned this party very carefully and strived for perfection.
Su Zelin was also very proud. Not only did he perform on stage in person, he also asked Liu Wanyin to allocate a sponsorship fee and gifts that were much higher than usual.
After all, it’s hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Only with a sufficient budget can we be able to do better.
In addition, there was also a heavyweight director on the guest list, and he praised her in public, which made Tao Min blush.
During this period, Su Zelin was also watching the party from the VIP seats. During each program, he took time to chat with Zhang Baisheng for a few words. It was not until the party was coming to an end that he went backstage to prepare.
His performance is the last program, the finale treatment.
I met Tao Min backstage.
"Great talent, I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I'm looking forward to your performance. You are the big star of our Department of Economics and Management. Everyone is waiting for your show, so work hard!"
"Haha, that's necessary!" Su Zelin grinned: "Sister Tao, this is the last big event organized by you in the Arts Department. What if I don't perform well? That song later is also a gift to you.
You have to listen well!"
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!"
Tao Min is very interested.
Su Zelin's program is quite mysterious.
Everyone knows it’s a guitar solo, but no one knows what song it is.
Because Su Zelin was very busy, he didn't come to the rehearsal.
The program team did not require him to come to rehearsals.
The gangster is a heavyweight among the performers.
For a veteran like this who can attend department-level evening parties all day long, and whose psychological quality is surprisingly good, it is not easy for him to just sing a song and hold on to a department-level evening party.
He reported it to the program team for a guitar solo, saying that he had not yet decided which song he wanted to play. He would be inspired when he saw it, and the program team agreed.
After waiting for a while backstage, it was his turn. Su Zelin walked onto the stage leisurely with his guitar on his back.
Screams and cheers like a landslide and tsunami instantly rang out from below. There was no need for the bastards to waste time on the show. The effect of the show was already full in an instant.
Others who are familiar with Su Zelin's popularity in the financial institute are not surprised, but Zhang Baisheng and his son can't help but feel slightly moved.
This Mr. Su is not generally popular!
Although the effect of the show was already very good, Su Zelin still made a few random sentences as usual to adjust the atmosphere before officially starting the performance.
While plucking the steel strings of the guitar, Su Zelin hummed along with the accompaniment.
Nothing can stop
Your yearning for freedom
A fantastic career
Your heart is free from worries
……
As soon as I sang a few words, the audience became excited again.
""Blue Lotus", this is a song that was just released a few days ago!"
"I learned the cheats so quickly!"
"I really like this song, and I'm still practicing it. Others are on stage to perform, and they can play and sing so well!"
"..."
No one can shake Su Zelin’s position in the Academy of Finance and Art Gala, and it’s not without reason.
First of all, he has good appearance and is popular with the audience.
Secondly, his singing skills are excellent and he has real talent.
Thirdly, he is never restrained on stage, knows how to handle everything, and even lets himself go.
Another point is the song selection. The songs selected by the gangsters every time are the latest and most popular songs, which have their own topicality and program effect.
For example, not long after "Meteor Garden" was released, he sang the song "The Love Is Unavoidable".
When it comes to the most popular song in 2002, "Blue Lotus" can never be ignored.
As Xu Wei's classic work, it will be sung by future generations.
It was also the release of this song that made this rock star famous all over the country.
However, it was only released on the 18th of this month, less than a week before Christmas Eve.
So Su Zelin performed the song "Blue Lotus", which surprised almost everyone and pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Through the dark years
I also felt hesitant
The moment you lower your head
Only then did I realize the path under my feet
The free world in my heart
So clear and lofty
Blooming and never fading
Blue Lotus
……
There are no heroic words in the lyrics, and the melody is not ups and downs. It uses a calm and peaceful tone, but it shocked everyone.
This is a song with a Zen flavor that can give people spiritual strength.
Even people who have never heard of it are immersed in that wonderful artistic conception.
It conveys the precious spirit of firm pursuit of ideals and never giving up.
The most innocent persistence, as pure as a child's heart, is often the most touching and sings the heart of the dream chaser.
When your life is at a low point, you may be able to cheer up again by hearing the words "Nothing can stop you from your yearning for freedom." This song has even become a spiritual antidote for many confused young people. p>
This is why it became so popular and continues to be popular.
After the song "Blue Lotus" was sung, the finale also pushed the atmosphere of the party to a climax.
Zhang Baisheng and his son applauded along with the entire audience.
This song does have an indescribable appeal.
Not only young people, but also middle-aged people will be deeply touched after listening to it.
After greeting the audience, Su Zelin walked backstage with his guitar on his back, and the endless screams and applause could still be heard behind him.
I met Tao Min at the stage entrance, where she watched Su Zelin's performance up close.
"Wonderful performance, junior, thank you for giving me this song "Blue Lotus", an unforgettable gift!"
Tao Min was moved.
She is a dream chaser who is about to enter society.
This junior encourages himself in this way.
"Haha, I almost forgot, there is this one!"
Su Zelin took out a piece of Dove from the pocket of her performance clothes and stuffed it into her hand: "Sister, happy Christmas Eve!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Looking at the chocolate in her hand, Tao Min was a little overwhelmed.
"Ah, I'm sorry, junior, I didn't prepare any gift in return."
She didn't plan to give the bastard an apple or anything. Although she would occasionally joke about it, she didn't think it was appropriate.
What's more, he also has Huang Panpan, who is chasing Su Zelin.
"It's okay, the senior sister is the protagonist tonight, she just needs to accept the blessing!"
Su Zelin blinked at her and left.
Watching him go away, Tao Min was still in a daze, with a complicated face.
Although it is very clear that this junior is a central air conditioner, you have to admit that you are indeed warmed.
Backstage, as soon as I changed out of my performance clothes, Huang Panpan came.
The elementary school girl is now a cadre of the student union. She is responsible for ordering and other chores tonight, so she has not been seen before. She did not show up until Su Zelin finished her performance and the party was about to end. There was nothing else to do.
To add to the atmosphere, the female student union staff all made Christmas costumes tonight. The elementary school girl cosplayed a little elk with a pair of bright red antlers on her head. It was so cute.
She ran backstage right after the performance, panting, her breasts rising slightly, holding a small gift bag in both hands and handed it to Su Zelin: "Senior, happy Christmas Eve!"
On such an important day, apples and gifts are definitely indispensable.
"Panpan, thank you!"
Su Zelin took the bag and took out another Dove from the inner pocket of the down jacket.
Today he bought a lot of chocolates to take with him in case of emergency.
Red apples cannot be given away casually.
This means showing love.
But chocolate doesn’t matter, you can give it to friends.
"Senior, thank you!"
Although it is just a piece of chocolate, Huang Panpan feels like he has found a treasure.
On Christmas Eve during her freshman year, Su Zelin also gave a chocolate as a gift. She still keeps it in a drawer in her dormitory and refuses to eat it.
"Senior, are you really not free tonight?"
The elementary school girl actually made an appointment with Su Zelin a long time ago, but was declined, but she didn't give up, and was a little worried that the gangster would go to Zhejiang University to find a love rival.
"Didn't I say that the leader of the dinner bureau is coming over, and I have to accompany him later!"
The bastard just found an excuse.
At this time, Nuojiya 8210 rang, and it turned out that it was Zhang Yuanhang.
This call came at the perfect time!
In front of the elementary school girl, Su Zelin pressed the answer button: "Hey, Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Su, are you free later? I want to chat with you for a few words."
Zhang Yuanhang's voice came from the microphone.
Sure enough, I expected that this guy would definitely talk to me.
"Later, okay, okay. It's rare for Mr. Zhang to come to the Finance Academy. I'm not free!"
Su Zelin deliberately spoke loudly, half of it meant for Huang Panpan to hear.
Lu Haoran is not here, Zhang Yuanhang is now his tool.
"Mr. Su, you are serious. How about I wait for you in the parking lot?"
"Okay, I'll be there right away!"
After chatting for a few words, Su Zelin hung up the phone.
"Look, Panpan, there's nothing we can do about it. You know, Mr. Zhang's father is more or less a director. Our company may have to ask him to do things in the future. I have to give him some face no matter what."<
/p>
"Okay!"
The elementary school girl is at her wits end.
But she was certain of one thing.
Su Zelin is going to socialize later, not to find Qin Shiqing.
It doesn’t matter!
Tonight, I, Huang Panpan, won’t get a senior.
You can’t even imagine it, Senior Sister Shiqing!
……
Not long after, we arrived at the parking lot outside the VIP channel.
Zhang Yuanhang is already waiting.
He is the only one.
Zhang Baisheng got on the bus first.
Director Zhang can only come over tonight to express his goodwill to Su Zelin and lay the foundation.
However, the final solution to the problem still had to be made by Zhang Yuanhang himself, which he could not do for him.
"Mr. Su!"
As soon as he saw Su Zelin appear, Zhang Yuanhang rushed over and handed him a cigarette with a smile on his face.
Su Zelin took the cigarette and before he even took out the lighter, Zhang Yuanhang took the initiative to light it for him.
"That, Mr. Su!"
Mr. Zhang spoke again, with a hint of uneasiness.
"There may have been some misunderstanding between us last time. My application for the second franchise store was strictly in compliance with the company's regulations on franchise stores. I did not intend for Mr. Su to seek personal gain. If I did something wrong,
Please forgive me, Mr. Su."
"Haha, I understand."
Su Zelin smiled.
This time, Zhang Yuanhang really didn’t want to let himself, the operations director, operate in violation of regulations. There would be no problem with his second franchise store in terms of funding, size, location, or anything else.
However, the society of Xia Kingdom is like this. Sometimes, even if you know that everything you do meets the requirements, you still have to find a favor to feel more at ease.
"It seems that Mr. Zhang knows that I am the founder of New Century. Isn't it surprising that Mr. Zhang told you?"
Su Zelin simply confessed.
"Yes, yes!"
While Zhang Yuanhang laughed dryly, he was still shocked when he heard these words.
It’s real!
The founder of New Century is actually a college student!
“When I first founded this company, my identity was not convenient, so I didn’t make it public for the time being.”
Su Zelin explained briefly.
Zhang Yuanhang nodded to express understanding.
If others learn that the owner of a company is a college student, they will probably think it is trivial, and consumers may not trust it, so it is not surprising that Su Zelin has such scruples.
Of course, it won’t matter after you succeed.
Su Zelin said calmly: "As for me, I always distinguish between public and private matters!"
"As an operations director, you also need to sit in your position and seek your job!"
"Take store approval as an example. As long as it follows the formal process and meets the conditions, I will definitely approve it!"
"On the other hand, if the application for a franchise store does not meet the perfect conditions, I will resolutely reject it!"
"I am not only responsible for the company's image, but also for the investors! If we analyze that a store cannot make money but then criticize it, isn't this harming others and ourselves?"
Having said this, he paused: "As for the second store Mr. Zhang applied for..."
Zhang Yuanhang's heart suddenly jumped up.
"I have approved it!"
Su Zelin smiled.
"The approval may be a bit slow for a reason. I don't mean to block you intentionally. There have been a lot of applications for New Century franchise stores recently, and the inspection team is too busy. Many people have submitted their applications before you. I can only follow the order.
Work! If nothing unexpected happens, you will be notified of the official documents tomorrow!"
"That's great, thank you Mr. Su!"
Zhang Yuanhang was overjoyed.
Having a batch of stores means that he will probably earn hundreds of thousands more in revenue every year!
"There are still things from the past..."
The man in front of him was the founder of New Century. Mr. Zhang felt that it was necessary to apologize for his plagiarism.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he was stopped by the gangster.
"There is no need to talk about what happened in the past. Now we are allies in the same boat. Even if there is any unpleasantness, it is a thing of the past!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
In fact, he was not unhappy at all.
On the contrary, Zhang Yuanhang should have been quite depressed by his own sap blows at that time.
Having said this, he took out an envelope from his pocket, which was exactly the one Zhang Yuanhang put under the tea that day, and stuffed it back into the other person's hand intact.
"Take this thing back! As for the tea, it's pretty good, so I'll keep it!"
Zhang Yuanhang nodded slightly and understood what Su Zelin meant.
Bribery is never allowed, but normal social interactions such as giving some tea are acceptable.
Stick to principles without losing tact!
Rules and humanity coexist!
This is his way of communication.
"Okay, don't keep Director Zhang waiting too long, I have to leave too, so be it!"
Su Zelin patted Young Master Zhang on the shoulder.
It was getting late, and he was still rushing to Zhejiang University for an appointment, but he didn't have time to chat with Zhang Yuanhang for too long.
"Yes, Mr. Su!"
After bidding farewell to Su Zelin, Zhang Yuanhang returned to the car.
"How was it?"
Zhang Baisheng asked quickly.
"Mr. Su admitted his identity and told me that the application for the second store has been approved because there were too many franchise stores that applied for it some time ago and the inspection team was too busy!"
After briefly describing the content of the conversation, Zhang Yuanhang also raised the envelope in his hand: "He returned this to me, but the tea was not returned!"
Zhang Baisheng nodded and asked: "Yuanhang, have you learned anything?"
"I've learned, Dad, you said it's not unfair at all for me to lose to such a person. It's true, I really don't have the forbearance and skill like Mr. Su!"
Zhang Yuanhang sighed.
"Not everyone can be Su Zelin, there are not many such people in the world, just be yourself!"
Zhang Baisheng's words are serious and thoughtful.
"I got it, Dad!"
"..."
At this time, Su Zelin also sat in the driver's seat of Santana.
With a thought in my heart, I opened the gift bag given by my elementary school girl.
In addition to a big red Fuji, there is also a box of three guns.
