Chapter 14 You have to pinch your own peach blossoms
"President Chu, you see, the changes in the academy in the past two years are earth-shaking. All the funds invested in the academy by the Chu Group have not been wasted, and they have been used to the best effect."
Li Jie, the president of Shangjing Opera Academy, led the group with a smile, and took the big man to places with pleasant scenery, new buildings, and laughter as much as possible to show him the excellence and good appearance of the academy.
The school held a board meeting, and the Chu family is the largest shareholder in Shangjing Opera Academy.
After the meeting, President Li Jie personally took people to visit the school.
How much investment can be attracted this time depends on this person's mood, so President Li did his best to receive him and let him see more excellent aspects of the academy.
"Wow, the piano sounds so nice, I wonder who is playing it."
"Need I say more? It must be Senior Su Mu. He is the head of our school's piano performance department and the recognized number 1."
Two girls walked by the teaching building, coquettishly discussing the piano sound.
Chu Hanting suddenly heard Su Mu's name and paused, thinking it was a coincidence, but then he remembered that this person seemed to be a junior student at the Shangjing Drama Academy.
"What's wrong?" Principal Li saw Chu Hanting stop and look in the direction of the musical instrument building. He
smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, this is the musical instrument building we built two years ago. There are practice rooms for various musical instruments inside, which are specially for people of various professions to come and train. There are also singing rooms, recording studios, etc., which are all newly built..."
Chu Hanting walked over following the sound of the piano, and Principal Li explained on the side.
When he was about to pass the piano room, the piano sound suddenly stopped.
Not to mention Chu Hanting, even the principal paused to speak.
Because anyone can hear that the song was not finished, but stopped abruptly.
Su Mu's piano sound is the kind that once you listen to it for a while, you will be intoxicated by it and unconsciously put yourself in the situation. The
sudden piano sound stopped halfway, as if a person was savoring a delicious dessert, took a bite, and the dessert was suddenly taken away.
Unsatisfied and uncomfortable.
When Chu Hanting approached, Su Mu's refusal was heard from inside, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it."
"Why?" Lin Xiang's eyes were red. This was the step of confession that she had been struggling with for a long time, and with the encouragement of her friends and classmates, she finally took.
She thought she would be rejected, but she thought she had good looks and a good family background, and didn't understand why Su Mu rejected her.
"But I like you, I have liked you for three years." From the moment Su Mu spoke as a representative of the freshmen when the freshmen entered the school, she fell in love with him. She
had been secretly in love with him for three years, why did he reject her love.
"If you like me, do I have to like you too? To be honest with you, I have someone I like," Su Mu said bluntly.
Does he have someone he likes? Who is it? If that's the case, why should you agree to marry him?
Chu Hanting felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that he shouldn't have such emotions. He was just trying to save face in front of the elders, and he wasn't sincere. It was normal for Su Mu to pursue his own feelings and have someone he liked.
He wanted to leave slowly, but his feet were like glue to the ground, preventing him from turning around and leaving.
Principal Li didn't know why Mr. Chu wanted to stand here and eavesdrop on this kind of thing, but with the attitude of serving the sponsor, he naturally wouldn't disturb the other party's interest. He
also followed suit and did the shameless thing of eavesdropping on the students' private affairs.
But after hearing this rude rejection, he secretly worried for the girl in his heart, 'Hey, this kid, why don't you be more tactful when rejecting people? The girl took the initiative, at least give her some face.'
Lin Xiang didn't believe it, and thought it was just an excuse for Su Mu not to accept her confession.
Because they were in the same school, she had never seen anyone around Su Mu, and there had never been any scandals.
"Su Mu, I can change what you don't like about me. I really like you, can you give me a chance? You haven't even been with me, how do I know you don't like me?"
Lin Xiang's appearance was indeed impeccable, with an oval face, long legs, a slim figure, and outstanding facial features. Although she was not enough to be called "the beauty who would conquer a country", she was more than enough to be labeled a "beauty".
At this moment, she was sad and unwilling, her eyes were misty, and anyone who saw her would feel pity for her and couldn't bear to say a harsh word.
But Su Mu was the exception.
He even had a flash of impatience between his brows. He refused clearly but still kept pestering, which made him look a bit disliked.
"I told you I don't like you, give up, we are not suitable. It's not that you are not good enough, it's that I am not worthy of you."
"No, no, no, Su Mu, you are worthy of me, how can you not be worthy of me. Will you be with me?" He was
about to pull Su Mu's sleeve, but Su Mu
barely dodged it, and his brows were also stained with anger. If he hadn't taken advantage of her because she was a woman, he would have dragged her out if he had tried it with a man.
But his patience with nice words ran out.
"You can't understand what I'm saying, can you? Do you have to make me say things so unpleasantly? Whether you are good or not, it has nothing to do with me. I don't like you. Go away, don't disturb me from practicing the piano."
The tone was as disgusted as it could be.
The principal outside the door was listening with great interest. Young people nowadays are so straightforward when they are in love, unlike in their generation when they were so reserved and had to stammer for a long time before saying "love". When
Lin Xiang was yelled at by Su Mu, tears immediately burst out of her eyes.
It was already very painful to fail in her confession, and now he had to yell at her. What was his reason?
Su Mu didn't feel anything about it. It was her own fault. Wouldn't it be better for her to leave quietly and gracefully after being rejected?
It seemed that he couldn't practice the piano today, so he planned to leave directly.
However, when he looked aside and saw the figure reflected on the glass window, he was a little surprised.
It seemed that he didn't know why this person was here.
But the bad mood of being disturbed while practicing the piano and being entangled by someone suddenly disappeared in an instant.
He curled his lips and turned his head back, "Didn't you ask me what kind of person I like?"
Lin Xiang was stunned by what she said. She couldn't even cry anymore. She looked at Su Mu blankly. She didn't ask? Isn't this his excuse to reject her?
Who knew that Su Mu really said, "I like handsome, rich, older than me, and most importantly, he's a man."
As he said this, he looked back at the vague figure on the other side of the glass window with a smile on his face.
"Wow--" Lin Xiang cried even louder, wiped her tears, and finally, as if she was ashamed and as if she was extremely stimulated, she lifted her skirt and trotted away.
The principal outside the door was stunned and thought to himself, how cruel. Obviously, he didn't think Su Mu was telling the truth, and he must have used it to drive the woman away.
Chu Hanting on the side, on the other hand, couldn't help but smile, and felt much more relieved. "Little liar", you said you like him after just knowing him for a few days.
"Chu's investment will double this semester."
"Oh, good. Ah?... That's great. Thank you, Mr. Chu." Principal Li smiled with wrinkles all over his face, like a chrysanthemum.
Didn't he just hope that this person would ask for more funding for the college? In this way, the college will have more capital to take the school to the next level in all aspects.
At this time, it seemed that a teacher from the school hurried over to find Principal Li and whispered something, as if there was something important.
Sure enough, Principal Li said: "Mr. Chu, I have some things to deal with in this school, so I can't accompany you for now. What do you think...?"
