He Hongtao valued Chen Yuan, but that didn't mean he wanted to give him so many special privileges.

Especially for the New Year's Eve gala, which affected the emotions of teachers and students across the school, strength should speak for itself.

So, after greeting Chen Yuan and being discovered, he felt particularly embarrassed.

But Chen Yuan couldn't be blamed for this. He hadn't been able to resist waving to him, and Chen Yuan had only cautiously waved back, not trying to exploit his relationship with the principal...

He hoped this wouldn't influence the judgment of the teachers.

Director Li, needless to say, would definitely be a bit opportunistic.

He only hoped that the chief director, Zhou Xun, would uphold a professional attitude and not try to curry favor with him.

However, the best outcome would be if Chen Yuan could perform well even without his help and pass the audition through his own strength.

Bad!

He was about to become a privileged noble who got in through the back door!

With He Hongtao protecting him, it was indeed stable.

But Chen Yuan didn't expect this, and he didn't want to be a beneficiary of connections for the annual New Year's Eve gala.

Wouldn't that make him the kind of person everyone hated the most?

Even without Taozi, we can still pass!

Xin Yuan will never be defeated.

Everything was ready.

During practice, they had reached the limit of what they could do. All that remained was to fully display the level they had achieved during the practice sessions.

Xinyu, don't be nervous.

Chen Yuan looked at Xia Xinyu, expecting her to be very flustered, but he didn't expect that after she stood on the stage, her state was very natural, not at all awkward, and she could even show a sweet smile.

That's right, after all, she was the female lead who was snatched by No. 4 High School to film their enrollment promotional video.

Fun fact: Beautiful women are confident throughout their lives.

And like Zhou Fu's previous situation, although she was indeed bullied, Zhou Fu wasn't self-conscious because of it, but rather was annoyed: How annoying, why does everyone like me, why are my breasts so big, why am I so cute, causing everyone to be jealous of me.

See, even a beautiful woman's troubles are luxurious troubles.

That's right.

The Yuzi in his heart had always been a generous, cute, and appropriate girl.

So, here it comes.

"If you don't love me, give my heart back."

As soon as Chen Yuan's sunny, clear, and god-like voice came out, some of the girls under the stage immediately showed 'wow' expressions.

Among them, Tang Siwen also nodded with a light smile, even though he was singing for the girl next to her.

"Chen Yuan is really versatile," Hu Siqi said to Cheng Haiying with a smile.

"Yeah, sounds good." As colleagues, Cheng Haiying and Chen Yuan were able to be less guarded with each other.

Chen Yuan's voice was pleasant, and he also had a youthful vibe.

Completely different style from Zeng Yi.

Originally, the content of this song was a bit of a complaint and boring. Its quality couldn't be considered high among all of Phoenix Legend's songs. At the time, it was also criticized as a simple square dance ditty with a simple melody.

But trends are a circle.

In the end, it still returned.

Moreover, under the performance of a 17-year-old boy, it became so interesting that no hint of greasiness or tackiness could be heard.

There was only purity and ambiguity.

When Chen Yuan sang, he took advantage of his good looks and changed his pretentious face of equal disgust for the world, and began to smile refreshingly.

"These two people really have good looks," a teacher next to Zhou Xun sighed.

And when it came to image, the remaining two also secretly acknowledged it.

The requirements for the audition didn't have a single word about image on the surface.

But in reality, all three of them were very clear that image was particularly important.

The boy was one of the most handsome among this group of people.

And the girl was the most beautiful among all the students.

Only Cheng Haiying from Class Fifteen could compare.

So, the three of them silently wrote a 10 in the scoring area in advance.

That's right, the scores were cumulative.

This ten was given for appearance.

Then, the three added another 20.

The boy's singing skills were still perfect.

And for some reason, the boy's stage presence was so good that it made people think he was in this business.

That day, could it have been a case of playing dumb to deceive others?

Zhou Xun had also read *Doupo Cangqiong* (Battle Through the Heavens), so he was very vigilant, afraid that he would become a tool for Chen Yuan to pave the way for a face-slapping scene.

"Leaving aside everything else, this song is indeed more interesting when young people sing it," the teacher next to Zhou Xun joked.

"Yes." Zhou Xun nodded in response, directly giving his attitude.

Suitable.

A seventeen-year-old's age and voice wouldn't make anyone feel greasy or disgusted.

Boys and girls at this age should sing love songs.

Too deep or old-fashioned wouldn't be appropriate.

As for those mainstream praise songs, there are special people to sing them. Your age is too frivolous to sing that kind of 'national peace and prosperity,' the timbre is too floaty, you can't grasp it. Singing that kind of enlightening patriotic song is too much of a pretense of being young, not pure enough.

Of course, these remarks only applied to Zhou Xun's understanding of music and wouldn't be brought out to be spoken.

He only had one standard, and that was that the content must be good.

Chen Yuan seemed to have really had his Ren and Du meridians opened up by him. Not only that national style song, but even this Phoenix Legend song was sung quite well.

More importantly, this was a cappella.

The very important reason why the previous singing groups performed so poorly was a cappella, which particularly tested strength.

Moreover, if you always practice with accompaniment, suddenly singing a cappella, under the tense emotions, you would also perform poorly and not be able to exert your full strength.

This Chen Yuan was too stable, too mature.

Even Zhou Xun himself wasn't so skilled from the beginning.

"Too stable, this level of a cappella is really freaking exaggerated."

"Yuan-shen, what are your shortcomings?"

"Sigh, there's one less spot for a song."

Under the stage, the students who were also preparing songs felt a sense of oppression.

Closely following was a sense of powerlessness.

Good voice, good looks, and sings especially well.

Where else could they lose?

The girl.

Everyone in the song group began to pay attention to the girl next to him, hoping that she would screw up here.

It's Yuzi's turn, go!

Chen Yuan, walking and singing on the stage, turned to look at Xia Xinyu at this sentence: "What's the result of thinking so hard for you!"

This was definitely the song in which Zeng Yi earned the most tired money. Just the beginning part took up a very long space.

Fortunately, countless trainings had made Chen Yuan familiar with it and he wouldn't make a single mistake.

Next, it was up to Yuzi to perform.

After this sentence, Xia Xinyu also smiled generously and looked at him.

She was so natural, her stage presence was great.

So,

Sing!

Yuzi, stop smiling, it's your turn, say the lines!

He Meng under the stage could hear that this was where the female voice should connect. But why wasn't Xia Xinyu singing?

Could it be that she forgot the lyrics?

Zhou Xun could see that the girl was a bit dazed.

This was the consequence of not having accompaniment.

She hadn't entered her rhythm, causing her to be in a blank state of mind.

Logically, Chen Yuan's next sentence should be half a second after Xia Xinyu's.

But the pause had exceeded two seconds.

Seeing this scene, those in the song group really couldn't help but clench their fists.

Great, the girl screwed up!

Even if she remembered the lyrics later, she would be nervous because of making a big mistake, leading to an imbalance in her performance throughout the whole thing.

Good, good, not everyone is as invincible as Yuan-shen.

Seeing that there was going to be a stage accident.

At this time, a very light whistling sound suddenly sounded.

This was, accompaniment!

"..." Hearing this, Xia Xinyu was pulled back from her daze and quickly said, "You tell me, why is it all my fault!"

Damn it, a bit off-key!

Chen Yuan could hear that Xia Xinyu was flustered.

But now, he could only give Xia Xinyu encouragement.

Looking at her, Chen Yuan seemed to be saying - Yuzi, be natural!

I... I'm such an idiot!

Calm down.

This song has been sung many times.

Just think of it as being at home, when you are making noodles, and Chen Yuan hugs your waist, and the two of you sing love songs to each other.

That's right, they are not humans.

They are NPCs.

"Everyone thinks too well of love, reality is too tempting."

"Tell me, why"

"Does it make you more sad."

Xia Xinyu's voice was very clean, belonging to the gentle type of Jiangnan water towns, but when she got a little 'fired' up, she could also make people feel imposing, just like a spoiled girlfriend, hugging your neck from behind and asking, 'Who is prettier, me or your ex-girlfriend?'

The lyrics of this song were inherently unreasonable.

Women could naturally sing it well.

Looking into Chen Yuan's eyes, under the other party's leadership, Xia Xinyu became more and more natural, more and more fluent, and her state also played out to her best level.

"The level is back."

"Moreover, it doesn't seem to have been affected."

"But was that whistle just now specially arranged..."

"Doesn't seem like it, she probably really forgot the words."

"That boy is too reliable, forcibly saving the stage!"

The students under the stage began to discuss, and then everyone guessed that the girl forgot the lyrics because she was nervous, but fortunately, the boy was very reliable and saved the stage accident.

"But forgetting the words should affect the score, otherwise it's too unfair."

"Although the singing is good, that flaw is also very serious."

Different voices were thus transmitted.

And this was also the voice of most people.

Everyone participated in the audition, hoping to pass.

So, they all wanted to see others make mistakes, then magnify those mistakes, and even harshly thought that this was an unforgivable stage accident.

Chen Yuan felt this.

But what happened just now had already happened, and now all he could do was try his best to do the best he could.

And, let the stage effect cover up those flaws.

So, when he was singing, he also made a gesture of singing along to the boys in Class Two-Eighteen at the climax, and at the same time as singing loudly with great momentum, he handed out the microphone: "If you still love me!"

Dads, I beg you!

Suddenly, everyone in Class Eighteen heard a particularly filial call from the depths of their hearts, with only a short word: Dad!

Since that's the case, Dad will come!

"Then don't say anything!"

Although Zhang Chao, Tang Jian and others were standing in different places, they all felt that heartfelt "Dad."

So, they also sang along very supportively.

"Just run with me all the way, don't think too much!"

"Infatuation is not a sin, forgetting love is not unrestrained."

"What's the result of thinking so hard for you!"

And because there were several people leading, and this song was originally catchy and popular, basically the type that you didn't know when you usually spoke, but you couldn't help but sing when you opened your mouth.

Plus, there were at least hundreds of people participating in the audition under the stage.

So, more and more people sang along.

When it came to Xia Xinyu's side, she also sang more generously and enthusiastically.

Then, some people also sang along in the girls' chorus part.

Among them, it could be seen that 47 and He Meng, and even Tang Siwen, were the first to open their mouths and lead.

The power of the Yuan fans was continuously sent to the stage.

An a cappella audition was forcibly turned into a concert under the leadership of a few people.

Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu were two lead singers, responsible for their respective parts, and starting for everyone.

Obviously, this was very rogue.

Many people didn't want the live effect to be so good, especially the song group, so basically no one sang along, except for those who were particularly confident in their programs.

But other groups, reciting, skits, magic, cross-talk, etc., sang freely and played very openly, because even the tense emotions of waiting were relieved by Xin Yuan.

"When the full audience of thousands of people sings together, it is estimated that the atmosphere can be brought to a higher climax." Zhou Xun said very satisfied to the two judges.

No matter what kind of party, they all want the scene to be lively.

And the appearance of such songs is to entertain the audience.

Even to say, in order to warm up the venue, it can be placed in the front.

"Although it is suitable for young people to sing this song." But a teacher next to him was a little difficult to evaluate, and said, "But is it suspected of promoting puppy love to do this at a high school New Year's Eve gala..."

"It's just entertainment, don't be so strict." Zhou Xun tried hard to fight for it.

"Director Li, what do you think?" The teacher looked at Director Li again and asked for his opinion.

"This..."

Director Li was still thinking about whether this kid was greeting Principal He just now.

And did Principal He raise his hand again?

This was very important.

If that was the case, it meant that the leader had an implication.

Otherwise, why did he suddenly wave?

Could it be that he really saw a student he liked and couldn't help but say hello?

The principal wouldn't be so lacking in city government.

But.

Would it be too much if this song was put on at the party?

Now it was just the audition, and the students below became high and started singing along.

And what was very outrageous was that it was also turned into a male and female duet.

In fact, he thought the previous "Wan Jiang" was quite good, more positive and full of positive energy.

But Teacher Zhou Xun gave a very low score.

"What to say?" Seeing that it was about to finish singing, the teacher next to him asked.

What to say...

Thinking of this, Director Li secretly looked at He Hongtao again.

Why are you looking at me again...

He Hongtao noticed the gaze, and then quickly straightened his face, for fear that his expression would give the other party a reference.

After he turned his head, he smiled and nodded, and snapped his fingers with his hands, humming along.

This Chen Yuan, he didn't expect him to be so good at singing.

This girl was also good, with a good image and a good voice.

But don't you have a girlfriend?

Your girlfriend is still from No. 4 High School, and now you are so ambiguous with a girl from our school, aren't you afraid?

Or, because your girlfriend doesn't know, so you dare to play so boldly?

He Hongtao didn't quite agree with this.

Even though his level had reached the deputy division level, his private life was still fine, basically with zero scandals.

After all, he and his wife were together in high school, and then encouraged and supported each other to get into Ji University.

First love, namely wife.

Chen Yuan, it's better to be more dedicated as a person...

"This girl, isn't she from No. 11 High School?"

Just then, a girl in front of He Hongtao suddenly said softly.

"Ah? Isn't she?" the boy next to her asked softly.

"I heard Hu Siqi and Cheng Haiying chatting, something about a girlfriend from No. 4 High School."

"Damn, a girl from another school? Is this compliant?"

"Definitely not compliant." Biting her lip, the girl said particularly unhappily, "We'll directly question the teacher later, can we do this."

"Silly? Don't do that." The boy reminded, "We'll tell the girls from the song group, and unintentionally mention that this girl seems to be from another school. That way, everyone will definitely have opinions. Then, we'll go together to put pressure on Zhou Xun."

"Okay, we'll go talk later."

The two students in front were talking very quietly.

But He Hongtao heard it all.

Then, he looked up in astonishment, looking at the girl on the stage wearing the uniform of No. 11 High School, with a high ponytail, so quiet and beautiful, and at a glance, he knew that her score was no less than 630.

Looking at Chen Yuan again.

Finally, he couldn't help but laugh, and patted his thigh.

First of all, the pure love warrior felt comfortable.

Secondly, this Chen Yuan really treated No. 11 High School as his home, and dared to do anything!

What, want the teachers and students of the whole school to bless you, right?

Puppy love is one thing, but having puppy love with students from other schools.

You're really something.

Really excessive.

However, He Hongtao wasn't angry at all.

He was in puppy love in high school, and it was with a classmate, because the two of them were top students, and the head teacher acquiesced.

At that time, he was a little crazy, and even wanted to show off his affection in front of the head teacher.

It can only be said that Chen Yuan did something that he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

As a student, he needs to be severely criticized by the head teacher!

But I'm the principal.

Puppy love is just a trivial matter, I won't care.

So, after singing, he got up and prepared to leave.

And, he sent a message to Director Li, saying that he was leaving first.

At this time, Director Li quickly replied to WeChat:

Principal He, how is this year's program?

He was asking for his opinion.

He Hongtao didn't want to give any opinions.

Because as long as there was a tendency, it would affect the judgment of the judges.

However, hearing the conversation between the two students, he knew that Chen Yuan might experience a little frustration later.

Help?

Or not help?

When he was about to leave the auditorium, he glanced back at Chen Yuan nodding at the judges, waiting for the score, and another girl from No. 4 High School.

It would be great if this girl was from our No. 11 High School...

Actually, there was no need to help.

I can see that this is a good program.

However, it shouldn't be passed over because of some extra factors.

So, He Hongtao replied:

I don't understand, just make the party good and lively.

This sentence represented his attitude.

Director Li, who liked to speculate on his thoughts, should also know what he meant.

But helping Chen Yuan silently like this, he always felt that it was unpleasant to do this good deed.

He had to let him know.

Moreover, He Hongtao suddenly thought of an extremely disgusting method to use against Zhang Jianjun.

So, restraining his smile as much as possible, he also sent a message to Chen Yuan.

He Hongtao: Not bad, wear your school uniform to sing at the formal party too
