With Professor Niu's approval, Xie Jing couldn't refuse any longer. "Then I'll contact Wei Jin later. What's the theme for this school anniversary?"
"You guys can discuss it, but the overall purpose should be to strive for progress. I won't ask for too much else." Professor Niu said with a smile, "The program needs to be good. It will be judged. If it is outdone by others, it will be embarrassing for our department."
Xie Jing understood. After all, the composition department was the school's flagship program. If the composition department's program was overshadowed by programs from other departments, it would be embarrassing for both teachers and students.
"Okay, I will discuss it with my classmates." Xie Jing agreed. She thought she would be able to relax a little after handing in Professor Niu's task, but she ended up having to work again.
As soon as Xie Jing came out of the office, she received a call from Zhou Jiyun: "Is get out of class over?"
Xie Jing nodded, and thinking of the task assigned by Professor Niu, Xie Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Yeah, I just went to hand in my homework to Professor Niu."
How well did Zhou Jiyun know Xie Jing? He knew she was unhappy from the tone of her voice: "What's wrong? What happened?"
As he said this, he waved to Assistant Lin and walked aside with his cell phone.
Xie Jing took a deep breath. "Nothing. Go ahead and do your work. We'll talk about it when we get to your company later. It's not a big deal. It just disrupted my plans a bit."
Zhou Jiyun understood, "Okay, then drive slowly and carefully on the road and pay attention to safety."
"I know. I'm not a child." Xie Jing raised the corners of her eyes slightly. "That's all. I heard someone called you to a meeting."
Zhou Jiyun also smiled: "Okay, see you later."
When Xie Jing arrived at Rongsheng, Lin, the special assistant guarding the front desk, trotted over to greet her. "Ma'am, you're here? The boss is in a meeting. He figured you'd arrive around this time, so he asked me to wait for you here."
Xie Jing curled her lips slightly: "Sorry to bother Special Assistant Lin, just call me by my name."
She always felt that the title of Madam was a bit too... too class-conscious.
"That won't do," Special Assistant Lin immediately shook his head. "I wouldn't dare to disobey my superiors. Madam, please come this way."
Xie Jing didn't make things difficult for the workers: "Thank you very much. There will be afternoon tea delivered this afternoon. Remember to share it."
Since it was her first time here, she had to show her face in Zhou Jiyun's company. She couldn't leave the impression that the CEO's wife came to the company for the first time and ended up being a stingy person.
The girl at the front desk immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, ma'am!"
Xie Jing rubbed her forehead, no longer having the energy to correct the title of Madam, "You're welcome."
She felt that Zhou Jiyun and his group of employees were reasonable, but they were talking about their own reasons. As for what others said, she only listened selectively.
"Is Jiyun busy?" Xie Jing asked casually as the elevator went up.
Special Assistant Lin said respectfully, "Yes, the boss is in a meeting now, and it's expected to end at 11:30."
Xie Jing looked at the time. It was now ten forty. "Okay, I'll sit in his office for a while. You should get busy too. Don't delay your work."
Seeing what Assistant Lin was about to say, Xie Jing raised her hand: "As his personal assistant, you are also very busy. I can do it myself."
Special Assistant Lin was a little worried: "The boss asked me to order food for his wife..."
Xie Jing laughed: "Just give me the restaurant's phone number and I'll contact them. It's no use for you to handle these trivial matters."
Special Assistant Lin was indeed busy. After Xie Jing mentioned this, he sent Xie Jing to Zhou Jiyun's office and then hurried to the conference room to continue the meeting.
Xie Jing walked around Zhou Jiyun's office, confirmed lunch with the restaurant, and then sat down on the chair opposite Zhou Jiyun's desk.
Although she longed to explore rebirth literature, Xie Jing was more eager to finish the task at hand. As for exploring the secret, she could take it step by step.
The class group was very lively at this time, with hundreds of group messages already displayed, and the focus was on discussing the school anniversary program.
Xie Jing: [When will the composition and arrangement be released? @Wei Jin]
Wei Jin: [I also received the news yesterday. I will try my best to get it done within a week. I will send you a message later @谢靖]
Wang Cancan: [So the lyrics were written by Xie Jing? @Wei Jin]
Xie Jing: [Yes, Professor Niu told me about this this morning.]
After she said this, there was silence in the group for a few seconds, and then someone spoke up: [That's great, everyone is looking forward to your work.]
Xie Jing shrugged. She knew everyone's impression of her. She wasn't competitive or eager to show off in class. As for studying, since everyone was a first-year graduate student, their grades weren't easily discernible.
Now that Professor Niu specifically asked Xie Jing to write the lyrics, it is normal for everyone to have doubts in their hearts.
Wang Cancan has always been supportive: [@谢靖谢靖 is amazing, I'm really looking forward to it. ]
Xie Jing smiled: [Professor Niu told me that the overall purpose is to strive for progress. Is there a specific theme? @Wei Jin]
Wei Jin quickly replied: "Yes, the national trend has been on the rise recently, and I want to write a piece of ancient style music, but it can't be too plain and graceful, and it should have a sense of family and country."
Xie Jing pondered for a moment: "I recently read a story that really moved me... 'The poor bones by the Wuding River, yet they still seem like the lover in a girl's dreams.' What do you think of approaching it from this perspective?"
Wei Jin was silent for a long time before sending a message: [I think it's okay, but isn't this idea too sad? The professor should aim to strive for progress.]
Xie Jing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: [It doesn't matter. Combining the history of bloody battles in the past with the rapid changes today, the overall situation is still positive and progressive.]
Wei Jin: [But the style of the music is not towards the national trend, but more towards popular music.]
Xie Jing: [I'm fine with either. You're the composer, it depends on your opinion.]
She really didn't care. If Wei Jin didn't adopt her idea, she could just post it on Lin Jing's account and it would be the same.
As for Wei Jin's displeasure, Xie Jing didn't take it to heart. She was merely offering a suggestion; whether or not it was adopted was Wei Jin's decision. If Wei Jin insisted on writing about the national trend, Xie Jing wouldn't object. It was simply a matter of both parties cooperating to complete the task assigned by the professor.
After chatting for a few more sentences in the group, Xie Jing couldn't start working for a while, so she simply opened the rebirth stories recommended to her by Wang Cancan.
Xie Jing opened several books in succession. Her focus was not on reading carefully, but on scanning the text to understand the entire context of the article.
When Zhou Jiyun returned from the meeting, he saw Xie Jing hunched over her phone, her expression a complex one. Zhou Jiyun had never seen Xie Jing like this before, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"
Xie Jing looked up in a daze: "I feel like... the door to a new world has opened before my eyes."
