Chapter 576
C576 – The Excited Principal Ye!
The private room was decorated in an antique and minimalist style, with even the overhead lighting reminiscent of the Republic era.
A curio shelf adorned the wall, its compartments filled with jade and fan antiques.
Su Ming carefully scanned the items and confirmed their authenticity. The elderly couple felt secure leaving these treasures here without fear of theft. After all, who among the patrons would dare to steal? If someone truly admired the items, they would simply buy them.
The group consisted of five individuals.
Su Ming’s presence required no further explanation, given his evident wealth.
The same went for Ann Chuxia, an A-list celebrity accustomed to high-profile events.
Principal Ye’s reputation preceded him, having frequented this place before.
The other two girls, Su Qiu and Zhang Qianqian, were first-timers, their faces alight with curiosity as they looked around.
They all took their seats, with Su Ming at the center, flanked by Ann Chuxia. Next to her sat Su Qiu and Zhang Qianqian.
On Su Ming’s other side was Principal Ye, who kept his head down and remained silent, as if to say, “I’m just here to eat; treat me as if I’m not here.”
“I really owe you one this time. Without your help, my concert might not have happened,” Ann Chuxia admitted, still feeling a bit shaken by the whole ordeal.
”It’s no big deal, I was happy to help,” Su Ming replied with a smile, brushing off the significance of his actions.
“What’s this about? What happened to Miss Ann?” Principal Ye interjected, clearly out of the loop.
Su Ming gave a brief explanation, which left Principal Ye in shock. Was the entertainment industry really that complicated?
”I know you’re not in need of money, and giving you cash would be rather trite. Instead, I have something else for you,” Ann Chuxia said thoughtfully. She presented Su Ming with a sleek black card edged in gold, bearing her name.
“This is my honorary card. With it, you can attend any of my concerts and bring along up to ten guests,” she explained with a beaming smile.
”Wow! That’s amazing!”
Upon hearing the news, Su Qiu and her friend jumped for joy, immediately snapping a photo and sharing it on Tieba!
They even shared a photo of everyone dining together.
Tieba was instantly overrun with a wave of envy and lament.
It’s just not fair. We didn’t even manage to buy tickets, and here they are with an honorary card, granting them access to any concert they wish.
It’s maddening how some people have all the luck!
Who would dare to question it now?
Ann Chuxia, the person at the center of it all, has stepped forward. Anyone who still harbors doubts is simply out of their mind!
Before long, the food arrived. Although the fare at this establishment was pricey and the portions small, the dishes were incredibly refined.
You have to hand it to the chef; his skills were truly remarkable.
Even a dish as simple as boiled cabbage was transformed into a culinary delight, bringing out the purest flavors of the food.
Principal Ye was oblivious to the world around him, engrossed in his book of sage wisdom, his focus solely on his meal.
“Principal Ye.”
It was then that Su Ming turned his head.
“Eh?!”
Caught off guard by the sudden call, Principal Ye looked up, startled, with a bit of cabbage juice at the corner of his mouth and a piece of cabbage still between his teeth.
Realizing his less-than-elegant dining manner, he quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin and swallowed the cabbage.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Su?”
“Principal Ye, I have a modest proposal. I was wondering if you might be open to it?” Su Ming asked, his eyes twinkling with anticipation.
”Oh?”
Principal Ye paused, intrigued. “What might that be, Mr. Su?”
“Well, the autumn recruitment fair has concluded, and this year’s graduates have likely all signed their contracts. There’s no need to prepare for spring recruitment, so I assume your next focus will be on next year’s incoming students, right?”
“Um…”
Principal Ye was momentarily taken aback.
It was already November.
Though the college entrance exams were still several months away, the major universities had already begun their clandestine battles, vying for the top students from prestigious schools.
The early bird catches the worm!
“Yes…”
Principal Ye nodded in agreement.
“I’ve had a discussion with Chuxia,” he said.
“After tonight’s concert, Chuxia’s next performance won’t be for another two months, so she’ll be staying in Eastsea for a bit. I have a modest proposal: for Chuxia to collaborate with Principal Ye on a promotional video. How does that sound to you, Principal Ye?” Su Ming asked, his smile beaming.
”What?!”
Principal Ye was taken aback. He sprang to his feet and retreated several steps. “Mr. Su, please, no jokes. Seriously, no jokes. Please, please, please…”
He shook his head vigorously, unable to believe the offer was real.
Seeing Principal Ye’s reaction, Su Ming couldn’t suppress a chuckle.
“Take it easy, Principal Ye. I assure you, I’m not pulling your leg. This is for real.”
“Chuxia’s schedule is quite tight, though. She only has about a week of downtime.”
”You’ll need to get moving quickly, Principal Ye,” Su Ming continued, still smiling.
“Is that so?”
Principal Ye’s voice quivered as he asked from his corner retreat.
It wasn’t fear that shook Principal Ye, but the sheer magnitude of the surprise had thrown him off balance.
He feared it was all a dream, one that would vanish the moment reality pricked its bubble.
”It’s absolutely true,” affirmed Ann Chuxia from nearby.
“I… um… that is… well… actually…”
Principal Ye was nearly delirious with joy.
Thanks to Su Ming, all the graduates had landed outstanding contracts at this year’s recruitment fair.
The data was already compiled, presenting a golden opportunity for next year’s admissions!
And now, with Ann Chuxia potentially joining forces with the school for a promotional video—
My goodness!
There was no question that next year’s applicant pool would be substantial.
The thought alone was a delightful dilemma!
“Mr. Su, Miss Ann, I must excuse myself. I have to leave now…”
Overcome with excitement, Principal Ye could no longer contain himself. He dashed off as if propelled by flames, already on the phone before reaching the door. “Soong, you need to find someone fast. We’re shooting a recruitment video. What? Too early? Early schmearly, you know nothing. Just find me the best… Money? I’ll pay for it myself if I have to. Just hurry!”
The window was ajar, allowing the sound of Principal Ye’s animated voice to drift in. The people inside the room exchanged knowing glances and chuckled quietly among themselves.
It was understandable why Principal Ye was so thrilled.
Securing an A-list celebrity to serve as the ambassador for the school’s enrollment campaign was beyond his wildest dreams. He mused to himself, ‘I wouldn’t have dared to even dream of this.’
