Chapter 1011: Xiao Chong Side Story 50_2
Seeing the youthful hands playing the zither in the livestream made him really curious. He just wanted to see how young Qing Yang actually was.
But for Xiao Chong, appearing here today wasn’t just about exchanging with the modern ancient zither master.
His main goal was to bring Lin Wanwan into the TV station.
Having seen Lin Wanwan participate in several TV station-related etiquette events, he thought she really liked being at the TV station. Naturally, he wanted to lend her a helping hand; his wife, after all, was to be cherished by him.
Lin Wanwan’s internship spot at the TV station was something he agreed to with Old Ye, exchanging it for revealing "Qing Yang’s" identity and appearing as a guest on their new classical heritage program.
Normally, interns don’t get paid, but Xiao Chong had prearranged with Old Ye to give Lin Wanwan twenty thousand from his own fees.
The reason for not giving more was to avoid being too conspicuous, which would make the arrangement too obvious.
Of course, Xiao Chong wouldn’t tell Lin Wanwan about these things to prevent her from having a psychological burden.
As for meeting Old Li, and accepting the invitation to become a guest professor of the ancient zither at their school, that was just an additional benefit.
Having the position of guest professor at Central Music College could enrich Xiao Chong’s public persona, making it mutually beneficial.
Of course, if Xiao Chong didn’t want to reveal this identity, he could still achieve his goal, but it would require using Lu Shouyue’s connections.
Doing so would go against Xiao Chong’s principles.
To pave the way for his fiancée, he had to do it himself; since he was capable, why rely on someone else’s network?
With the mysterious allure and loyal audience he’s gathered over the years through his ancient zither livestreams, there were countless programs wanting to invite him whenever he was willing.
Getting in through the connection with Old Ye, Lu Shouyue’s childhood friend, was also like a big gift from heaven for Old Ye.
Especially after seeing Xiao Chong in person today, he couldn’t hide his excitement.
The ancient zither master was truly impressive, and associating an ancient zither master with an 18-year-old Peking University prodigy made it even more remarkable!
He seemed to have already envisioned the bright future and massive viewership of his first solo project! This would be his resounding first shot, laying the foundation for his future.
As for the minor issue of getting Xiao Chong’s girlfriend an internship at the TV station, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Even if Xiao Chong proposed to make Lin Wanwan an on-camera reporter, like that certain Bing, he would definitely pull all strings to make it happen!
As Old Li and his companions entered the tea room, they swept their gaze around and immediately focused on Xiao Chong.
Lu Shouyue had just mentioned the most handsome kid, and the two old men thought he was just joking!
Upon seeing Xiao Chong now, they realized Lu Shouyue was not exaggerating!
This level of handsomeness was unmistakable!
Such a young and handsome young man, even more attractive than the idols on TV, and he could play heavenly music like "Qing Yang"?
"Come, let me make the introductions." Lu Shouyue walked forward with a smile to introduce both sides, and then they were supposed to take their seats together.
However, Old Li and Old Wang were so surprised to see Xiao Chong that they decided to exploit their seniority and discuss the ancient zither with him first.
The ancient zither was already prepared by Lu Shouyue, placed in the eastern ear room.
The initial plan was for them to exchange after the meal, but since the two elders couldn’t wait, and Xiao Chong was willing, there was no need to delay.
After Xiao Chong finished a piece, the two renowned ancient zither maestros were moved to tears, claiming that having heard such music, they could now die without regret.
It seemed like they would have loved for Xiao Chong to drop out of Peking University and transfer to Central Music College!
Wang Bocheng whispered in Lu Shouyue’s ear, "Wow, this Xiao kid is unbelievable. Playing like that, if he’s willing to sign and debut, I could turn him into a top star in no time, surely a major moneymaker."
Lu Shouyue just smiled without comment; Xiao Chong was already one of their auction house’s moneymakers!
The last Tang Palace Night Banquet Painting not only brought him a big profit but also breached barriers and boosted the fame of their auction house.
However, he chose not to mention this to avoid provoking Wang Bocheng.
Xiao Chong had expressed not wanting to reveal the "Chu Kuang" identity, and Lu Shouyue respected that.
Faced with the applause and enthusiasm from everyone, Xiao Chong handled everything with ease. In his previous life, during his days as an official in Chang’an, he frequently performed for the Emperor at the palace.
