The lights gradually brightened.
The sound in the venue subsided at a visible speed, because they knew what was about to happen.
"Engrave every line between your brows and in your heart"
"Through thoughts in the painting"
"Dipped in ink and flowing"
"A thousand ancient texts have yellowed"
"The night is tranquil, the window screen dimly lit"
"......."
"Waving sleeves, dancing, lingering in dreams"
"Longing fills the heart"
.........
A voice, as if descended from heaven, spread from the auditorium's sound system. Everyone's pupils suddenly widened, and streaks of sight converged on Ye Xuan on the stage. What... what had they just heard?
A heavenly sound!
Could this truly be the sound of heaven?
The lyrics, the melody, the atmosphere – it made their minds clear, their ears immensely satisfied, and their hearts unprecedentedly peaceful. In that moment, everyone realized something: music could actually reach such a level.
It was incredible!
Calling it unbelievable would be an understatement.
Principal Xu Zimin, upon hearing Ye Xuan's singing, was stunned. "Ahem... This is, as expected of someone from a prominent family, tsk tsk~~"
The professors were also taken aback, clearly not expecting that the "boss" of their Tianhai University, as the principal had referred to him, could sing such a song.
As expected of the genius who dominated the Tianlai Music charts with eight songs, the professors nodded silently.
Backstage lounge.
"This guy..." Luo Tianyi listened dumbfounded to the person on stage singing "Juan Zhu Lian." He could actually sing such a song.
Wang Shiqi stiffly opened her jaw. "Ahem, is this the existence that set the Tianlai Music charts ablaze with eight songs? Junior Ye Xuan is actually so formidable!"
"Tianyi, do you know, if your relationship were revealed, countless girls would die of envy."
Wang Shiqi sighed emotionally, while Lin Yuxi nodded in agreement beside her. Honestly, their boss was at least ten times better than her own. No, at least twenty times!
As for Lu Tong and the other two, there was no need to even mention them. Their boss's skills were completely versatile, how insane was this? After more than a year of being together, damn it, they never realized their boss next to them was such an awesome existence!
One minute!
Three minutes! Five minutes!!
Time flowed by, and the song finally reached its end.
*Clap clap clap clap clap~*
Thunderous applause mixed with shouts erupted, and at this moment, a figure in the audience suddenly stood up, and this was just the beginning.
Then...
Five!
Ten! Fifty!!
Many students in the auditorium excitedly stood up, their faces filled with inexplicable emotion.
"Wow, Senior Ye Xuan is amazing, I love you!"
"Heartthrob, stop singing and come home with me, I'll support you~"
"Senior is super great, I really want to take him home and listen to him alone, what should I do?"
"So frustrating, why is such a handsome and talented heartthrob already has a child, boohoo~~"
"You all get lost, the heartthrob belongs to this little beauty!!!"
In the auditorium, chirping discussions intertwined in the air, lingering for a long time. As for Ye Xuan on stage, he had long since disappeared.
What a joke?
All he wanted was for him and his wife to sing one song each to complete the system's task, and then he would receive 80 billion in wealth. This deal couldn't be better.
Leaving the stage and walking down the corridor towards the backstage lounge, Ye Xuan, as expected, heard the system's voice in his ear.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of singing one song with his wife, rewarding tenfold rebate, capped at 80 billion RMB!"
"Given that the host completed the task with an [Extraordinary] rating, an additional reward of +2 Constitution is granted!"
Hearing the system's voice, Ye Xuan's lips curved into a smile, and he casually brought up his attribute panel.
Host: Ye Xuan
Age: 20 years old
Constitution: 51 (Normal person 10) Charm: MAX
Skills: Ultimate Music Ability, Ultimate Dad Ability, Ultimate Massage Ability, Ultimate Martial Arts Ability, Ultimate Cooking Ability, Ultimate Driving Skills, Ultimate Calligraphy Ability, Ultimate Medical Skill, Ultimate Beast Taming Ability, Ultimate God of Slaughter Ability, Ultimate Musical Instrument Ability, Ultimate Gaming Ability
Items: [Energizing Watermelon] x3, [Soundproofing Card] x2, [Endurance Capsule] x4, [Set of Golden Needles] x1, [Recovery Potion] x50 drops, [Black Great God Card] x2
Wealth: 221.609 billion
Looking at the attribute panel, Ye Xuan smiled, his lips curling. If the capped rebate of 80 billion were added, Ye Xuan's wealth would now be 300 billion, which was incredibly satisfying.
Quietly, the wealth Ye Xuan possessed had already tripled his initial goal of one hundred billion!
As for his constitution, Ye Xuan felt that he could now have "discussions of life" and "intense battles" with his wife for seven days and seven nights without any problem.
Ye Xuan's mood at this moment was very good.
"Boss, walk slowly!"
Outside the auditorium, Ye Xuan, with Luo Tianyi, made an early exit, showing no interest in the upcoming New Year's Eve party, as his objective had been achieved.
Just then, Principal Xu Zimin also came out of the auditorium and happened to see Ye Xuan and Luo Tianyi heading away in the distance.
"Principal, hello!"
Upon seeing the principal, Xiao Ming and the others greeted him in unison, though their eyes held some suspicion. Why was the principal out at this time?
"Hehe, hello to you all."
Xu Zimin, seeing the nervous appearance of Xiao Ming and the others, showed a kind and gentle smile. "You are classmates of Ye Xuan, no need to be nervous."
"Classmate Ye Xuan?"
Wang Shiqi frowned slightly upon hearing the principal's words. "Principal, you... you know Junior Ye Xuan?"
The principal's words seemed a bit off; it was clear that he had only told them not to be nervous because of Junior Ye Xuan.
"Of course, I know."
Xu Zimin glanced meaningfully in the direction Ye Xuan had disappeared, pondered for a moment, looked around, and seeing no one else, said, "Little ones, you probably don't know yet, but Classmate Ye Xuan has already bought our school at the Nine Heavens Auction House."
"In other words, Classmate Ye Xuan is now your principal, my boss. Do you think I know him?"
Xu Zimin thought about it and decided not to conceal it, as he also wanted to build better relationships with Ye Xuan's friends to facilitate future work. However, these words struck Wang Shiqi, Xiao Ming, and the others like a bolt of lightning, their minds roaring.
Their eyes widened in disbelief and shock. "Principal, you... ahem, what did you say?"
"The current boss of our Tianhai University is... our boss!!!"
