Chapter 31 Ten Years in the Human World



The next morning, Chen Ze was having breakfast when the phone rang. He wondered who would call him so early in the morning, and when he took out his phone, he saw that it was Wang Kaicheng.

"Hey, Brother Wang, is there something urgent?"

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Mr. Chen, I forgot to ask you yesterday what our company name is. I need it to register the company today."

"Brother Wang, what do you think of calling the company Panda Delivery?"

"Panda Delivery, I think it's good. It sounds nice and the national treasure is easy to remember."

"Okay, the company name is decided. During this period, try to call me during meals if you need anything. I will be in military training at other times and will not be able to answer your calls."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

After hanging up the phone, I walked straight to the football field. These days, the morning military training consists of a five-kilometer run, while the afternoons are filled with cultural performances, and some classes even have tug-of-war competitions.

The finance class had an arts performance, and the instructors randomly selected participants. Whoever was chosen had to perform. The first person chosen was Liu Ting, and she had to perform a dance.

As the music started, Liu Tingniu danced gracefully, her sexy waist swaying. Many male students watched with drooling mouths. After the dance, she was greeted with enthusiastic applause from the male students.

Next, the instructor pulled a slip of paper from the cardboard box, unfolded it, and read aloud: "Chen Ze, who told Chen Ze to step forward voluntarily?"

Chen Ze patted Gao Pengfei's thigh: "Pengfei, you go up and fill in. After training, I'll buy you a pack of Furongwang cigarettes and treat you to lunch in the cafeteria."

"Old Chen, you underestimate me too much. How could I, an ambitious young man, sell myself for a pack of cigarettes? Besides, my family owns a factory. Do you think I need your money for a meal?"

Well, this guy has pulled it off again, as if he's afraid people won't know his family is rich. But his statement did attract the attention of the female classmates next to him, and two girls glanced at him a couple of times.

Chen Ze was used to keeping a low profile, and he felt somewhat resistant to performing in front of so many people. He reluctantly walked up to all his classmates.

"Chen Ze, what kind of performance are you going to give to your classmates?" the instructor asked.

"I'll sing a song for everyone. If I don't sing well, I hope you'll give me some applause so it can cover up my terrible voice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the instructor brought him a stand, plugged in the microphone, and Chen Ze picked up a guitar from behind him and hung it in front of him.

The strings are plucked, and the prelude begins:

Light, who lit the candle to illuminate the maze set up by time?

Light, shifting the balance between light and darkness, flows freely.

...His singing in the beginning was full of ups and downs, and when the song reached its climax:

There's no time to tell the whole story, it's full of twists and turns.

The most rugged peaks have allowed us to indulge in our arrogance.

The moonlight and the full moon are poured into the cup...

During this climax, Chen Ze used a singing style similar to Cantonese opera, a unique and novel approach that attracted the attention of students from other classes around him.

Many female students from the foreign language department next door were deeply attracted by the melodious and dramatic singing, and everyone looked at Chen Ze who was singing.

The girls dancing in front of them realized that no one was watching their performance and stomped their feet in anger.

In the finance class group, Wang Siyu asked, "Chanying, Chen Ze sings really well. I think I'm starting to like him."

Deng Chanying advised, "Siyu, with your looks, it wouldn't be difficult for you to marry a rich man. If you choose an ordinary family like Chen Ze's, you'll definitely have a very hard life after marriage. So I advise you to think twice."

Wang Siyu shook her head: "If I really had to choose between money and love, I would choose love without hesitation. You may like to seek satisfaction in material things, but I am different. I prefer spiritual satisfaction."

Upon hearing this, Deng Chanying fell silent. She felt that Wang Siyu was beyond saving. Her family had also been very poor, and she had truly had enough of that kind of hardship. She would never choose to live that kind of life again in her life.

Thanks to the development in Chancheng over the years, their family's land was expropriated by the state, and now they have become one of the wealthy people.

As the song ended, the whole class stood up and applauded. The instructor stepped forward and asked, "Chen Ze, this song was so energetic and explosive! The singing style was very unique and I really liked it. Do you know what the song is called?"

"I composed this song last night. When he played it for his roommate, he complained that there was only music and no lyrics. So today I spent the whole morning writing the lyrics. The song is called Ten Years in the Human World."

"Wow, what a great song title!" one student exclaimed.

"Shenzhen University has produced another talented person. Not only can they sing well, but even their name is so well-chosen!" another student chimed in.

Chen Ze smiled, somewhat embarrassed, because he had plagiarized the song.

At this moment, Wang Siyu squeezed through the crowd, her face smiling, her eyes filled with admiration and affection.

"Chen Ze, you sang so well! Can I add you on QQ?" Wang Siyu said, blushing.

Chen Ze looked at Wang Siyu with some surprise. He didn't expect that after he rejected her last time, she would take the initiative to add him on QQ again this time.

Seeing this, the surrounding classmates started to jeer.

"Add one, add one!"

"Chen Ze, don't be shy!"

Encouraged by everyone, Chen Ze took out his phone and added Wang Siyu on QQ.

The two exchanged a smile, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air between them.

"..."

In the towering Nanshan Building in the bustling city, the 21st floor has now been entirely rented by Wang Kaicheng. Sunlight streams through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows into the spacious and bright office area, reflecting a busy yet orderly scene.
