Chapter 30: A Land of One Mu and Three Fen Isn’t as Beautiful as Imagined
The literary and art performance will begin in the meeting hall this Friday afternoon.
For the third-year students, having two fewer classes is a rare break, so they are all very excited.
“Have you all heard? Our performance for this show is a piano solo dance!”
“Solo dance? Who’s dancing?”
“I heard it’s Nie Xueling from Class 2 and Chen Minghe from Class 7.”
“Oh, I know Nie Xueling, she’s an art student, long legs and a slim waist, very good at dancing.”
“How outdated is your information? Let me tell you, there’s been a change.”
“What do you mean, a change?”
“The dancer, there’s been a change. Nie Xueling’s parents took her to handle some procedures for going abroad this week, so she can’t make it, so they replaced her early.”
“Then who’s performing now?”
“It’s Fu Chengque, otherwise she wouldn’t always be absent from evening self-study in Chen’s class. She’s busy practicing.”
“It seems like that…”
Everyone looked at Fu Chengque resting beside them. Upon reflection, it’s no wonder she’s been absent from evening self-study lately, and no wonder Nie Xueling had come over to chat and laugh with Fu Chengque.
This matter wasn’t deliberately concealed; it’s just that everyone has been busy with mid-term exams lately and didn’t have time to pay attention.
Wen Yu glanced at the girl beside him.
Fu Chengque’s dedication to this matter, he could see it very clearly. At night at home, he could always see Fu Chengque practicing dance through the window.
Even with such effort, Fu Chengque couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Perhaps she had enough sleep in the morning, she seemed more spirited at noon and began to exert herself.
【Queen’s First Harem】(5)
【Fu Chengque】: This Empress is about to set off, may all soldiers wish me well!
【Lu Min】: Empress, go for it, unify the world!
【Wen Yu】: I’ll be waiting backstage for your triumphant return. If this battle succeeds, Empress Chengque’s influence will surely spread throughout Second High School. At that time, with a raise of the arm, people will gather!
【Wen Yu】: “Making friends more easily” will come naturally, the first step is set.
【Wen Yu】: (Stroking his beard)
【Fu Chengque】: [Cat laughter][Cat laughter]
【Fu Chengque】: Alright! Everyone, watch me, and you’ll be supporting me from behind.
After sending the message, Fu Chengque looked up at Wen Yu beside her.
“You talk like a strategist,” she began to whisper.
“From the heart.”
“I find you’re becoming more and more like a strategic genius.”
“I intended to be a strategist, but my intelligence is like a demon… But strategists never have a good end, just look at Han Xin, he even had to crawl through someone’s legs.”
“How could that be? Once I become Empress, anyone who tries to harm you will be eliminated.”
“But what if you’re the one who wants to eliminate me?”
“Well… I don’t want to.”
“That’s good then. I’m not competing with you for the throne anyway. When the time comes, reward me with a piece of land, some beauties, and a few maids, and I’ll retreat to the mountains.”
“You’re dreaming.”
“Is it dreaming to ask for a piece of land? Even choosing beauties?”
Empress Chengque refused the beautiful girls but promised a reward of a piece of land, which made Wen Yu very happy.
On Thursday, everyone’s mood gradually became cheerful.
Fu Chengque was busy with rehearsals and couldn’t be seen. Wen Yu was bored and started slacking off.
Behind him, Peng Hui (Xiao Gua) was staring at her phone with a low head, seeming somewhat excited.
Wen Yu quietly asked Fang Ling, “What’s wrong with her?”
Fang Ling sighed, “Ah, they’re still arguing. They’ve been giving each other the silent treatment for the past couple of days, and today, they seem to have started arguing again.”
“Why are they arguing?”
“I didn’t ask, but it seems… it’s about a gift.”
Wen Yu froze. Well, Lu Min’s words had come true, and it seemed the source of the problem was related to him.
Fang Ling seemed to sense Wen Yu’s thoughts and said, “It’s not about you. Your gift was given by both of them together. It seems they brought up something from the past…”
That’s probably the strong and crazy possessiveness of high school students at work, Wen Yu thought.
Wen Yu was particularly looking forward to Lou Xuanli’s messages now, so when he received one that night, even though the class was supervising self-study, he took the risk to reply.
【Lou Xuanli】: Boss, another account has exploded.
【Wen Yu】: Which account? How much?
【Lou Xuanli】: The health one, it’s at 130,000 now. Also, I want to mention that although the beauty account hasn’t exploded, the number of fans is increasing the fastest.
【Wen Yu】: That’s normal. Keep it up.
【Lou Xuanli】: The advertisements have been sent to you, take a look. If everything’s fine, we’ll send them out tomorrow.
【Wen Yu】: I’ve checked them, go ahead and send them.
【Wen Yu】: Can you see the daily income from the traffic master?
The traffic master refers to the advertisements on WeChat. Wen Yu and others post content, and the content automatically fills in advertisements. Every time a user clicks on an ad, they earn a share. The income per click varies from a few cents to a few dollars.
【Lou Xuanli】: Congratulations, Manager Wen!
【Wen Yu】: ? So you’ve learned, huh?
【Lou Xuanli】: In the workplace, it’s inevitable. Let me give you a brief report. We have 14 accounts, with varying numbers of fans, but because our content is much better than others, it spreads widely. So, our reading volume is very high, and therefore, we have a lot of traffic.
【Lou Xuanli】: On average, the daily traffic income for each account is 122.49 yuan, mainly because the accounts that haven’t taken off yet are dragging us down.
【Lou Xuanli】: So, congratulations~
【Wen Yu】: Same joy. Once everything is settled, let’s have a good meal together another day.
The two ended the conversation, and Wen Yu was particularly happy.
In just two or three weeks, the daily income exceeded a thousand yuan. Although there are still considerable operating costs, as the number of fans grows, the income will continue to increase.
With this trend, does he still need to wait for Fu Chengque to become an Empress? He could already be rich and powerful on his own. Find a small mountain village, buy a small hill, find a wife, hire a few maids… Wouldn’t that be a wonderful life?
Indeed, one must rely on their own hands to achieve their dreams.
Friday afternoon, the annual art performance to cheer on the third-year students officially began in the conference hall — this new building has also become a business card for Second High School, seizing the opportunity to invite leaders from the government to visit and watch the performance.
Class Four’s students were already excited.
“So exhausted, the mid-term exams are coming up, this is our last bit of craziness!”
“Psst, anyone going to the internet cafe tomorrow night when there’s no makeup class?”
“The new auditorium is open to our third-year class. Thankfully, it wasn’t opened after I graduated…”
When Teacher Chen entered, the classroom fell silent.
“What’s all this noise! Are we on vacation? Even if we are, you need to behave.”
“In a moment, each class will enter in order, and each class has its own position. If you need to use the restroom, go now, and no wandering around later without cause.”
Whispers gradually arose, but Chen Xiongguo glanced over and didn’t bother further.
Compared to the students in front of him, he was more worried about Fu Chengque. Temporarily assigning Fu Chengque to take on the dance performance, with such limited time, was truly asking the impossible. But precisely because of this, it would be even more difficult to rearrange a new program for the third-year group, so finding a replacement became the best option.
Fu Chengque is also his precious student now, and he absolutely cannot allow any accidents.
Hopefully, the performance goes smoothly.
At half past four in the afternoon, each class entered.
The stage began its final setup, and the performance was about to begin.
