Qian Yunfei was a second-tier singer.
Although he couldn't compare to the first-tier stars and kings of songs who frequently appeared on television, he had several representative works.
Normally busy, he heard that his son Qian Chengcheng had a competition this time. To ensure the school would take better care of his son, he came to the school to sing a duet with his son for free.
The school naturally agreed to Qian Yunfei's request, as having such a celebrity perform at the school could also have promotional effects.
"Qian Chengcheng, I didn't believe you when you said your dad was a big star before, but it's true!"
"No wonder you have so much pocket money normally, it turns out your dad is a big star."
"Can you ask your dad to sign an autograph for me? I'll take it back for my sister, she's always liked listening to your dad's songs?"
While Qian Yunfei was chatting with the school leaders, Qian Chengcheng was surrounded by his classmates like a star.
"No problem, we're all classmates. I'll have my dad sign one for each of you," Qian Chengcheng said with a beaming smile.
Because Qian Yunfei was very busy, his mother usually picked him up and dropped him off from school.
He often told his classmates that he had a celebrity dad, but the classmates thought he was bragging.
But now, with his dad coming to the school, everyone finally believed him.
He felt that this feeling of being the center of attention was quite good.
"But I have one condition," Qian Chengcheng suddenly said after thinking for a moment.
"What condition?" The other classmates were slightly stunned.
"As long as you all promise not to go play with Su Xiaoling," Qian Chengcheng said with a smile.
Although Su Xiaoling often caused trouble at school, she always did it to help those who were bullied. Moreover, Su Xiaoling had appeared on television, singing a couple of lines of "The Most Dazzling National Style" at the city competition, making her a celebrity in the school, so the classmates liked her very much.
There were rumors at school that Su Xiaoling had a celebrity relative, but Su Xiaoling never mentioned it.
Qian Chengcheng felt that since his dad was a big star and had so much pocket money, he should be the one who was the center of attention.
With this thought, he developed a hostility towards Su Xiaoling.
"Ah, this..."
"Xiaoling is a very good person, she even helped me before."
"She helped me too. The last time I was bullied by third-graders, it was Su Xiaoling who helped me out."
At this moment, quite a few classmates were shaking their heads.
The world of children might be simple, but they also understood gratitude.
If it weren't for Su Xiaoling's help, they might have really been bullied by those older students.
For a moment.
The large group that had been surrounding Qian Chengcheng dwindled by half.
For a celebrity's autograph, they couldn't agree to not play with Su Xiaoling.
Seeing this, Qian Chengcheng couldn't help but pout.
He ignored those people and continued chatting and laughing with the remaining classmates.
...
The school's performance program included a chorus from each class.
It was Su Yu's first time watching a performance at an elementary school.
As he was going on stage, he wasn't in the audience but was waiting in the classroom.
At this moment.
A group of people walked in quickly.
Leading them was a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties.
"It really is Teacher Ting Yu!" After entering, he saw Su Yu next to Su Xiaoling. He was surprised at first, then quickly stepped forward. "Hello, Teacher Ting Yu. I am Guo Tao, the principal of Qingbei Elementary School. I'm very happy you could come to our school."
Even those in the education industry who didn't pay attention to the entertainment circle had heard of Ting Yu.
After all, his song "Youth China Says" was still played during breaks at school.
"Hello, Principal Guo," Su Yu said with a smile and shook his hand.
"No wonder Su Xiaoling appeared on TV before, you have such a brother, a music god," Guo Tao nodded.
The school leaders knew about Su Xiaoling's appearance on television before, but Su Xiaoling was too mischievous, so the school didn't make a big fuss about it. It just became a topic of discussion and then ended.
If they had known that Su Xiaoling had a brother like Su Yu, the teachers would have long ago asked her to invite Su Yu to visit the school.
This was a great opportunity for publicity.
Feeling Su Yu's half-amused gaze, Guo Tao cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly. "Teacher Ting Yu, you should be aware of what happened this time. We originally wanted to cancel Su Xiaoling's competition and have her perform a song directly. All the other classes agreed, but Su Xiaoling herself insisted on competing..."
Su Yu waved his hand and said, "Xiaoling'er's personality is like this, so the school leaders are not to blame."
He certainly wouldn't make trouble with the school over such a small matter, and the school's actions weren't wrong. They wanted to use the celebrity for publicity, and they also considered Su Xiaoling's feelings by asking her to cancel the competition and perform a song. It could only be said that the matter was too sudden, and the school had not managed to placate Su Xiaoling's temper.
"By the way, is Xiaoling singing Teacher Ting Yu's song this time?" the principal suddenly thought. The program list seemed to have an unknown song.
Su Yu nodded. "That's right. I heard Xiaoling'er was participating in a competition, so I casually gave her a song."
The principal was stunned for a moment, then smiled politely and somewhat awkwardly, "Oh... Hahaha, then we shall listen with great anticipation."
He had always heard about Ting Yu's "Versailles" statements.
This time, he finally experienced it firsthand.
Yes, this was the feeling...
...
The chorus had already finished.
Then it was time for the competition.
The rules were simple: each grade would compete by class.
Su Xiaoling's grade had five classes in total. Because Class 2's Qian Chengcheng had his father's help, the other classes withdrew from the competition and changed to a performance format later.
Now that Su Xiaoling insisted, and with the school's approval, only Class 1 where Su Xiaoling was and Class 2 where Qian Chengcheng was would compete in their grade.
Qian Chengcheng and his father took the stage.
They sang a classic children's song.
The father and son had good chemistry, and their duet made the students in the audience hum along.
After the performance.
Seeing the teachers and all the students applauding.
Qian Chengcheng had a brilliant smile.
"How was it, Chengcheng? Did Dad give you a lot of face this time?" Qian Yunfei said cheerfully.
He was busy with work and rarely spent time with his child, so Qian Chengcheng had always been a bit distant from him. Perhaps by helping his child steal the spotlight this time, he could bring their father-son relationship closer.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Dad," Qian Chengcheng said with a smile, then added, "Everyone else withdrew from the competition, but Su Xiaoling actually didn't. She'll definitely cry when she loses."
Qian Yunfei chuckled upon hearing this. "She asked for it if she loses."
In his opinion, as long as his son was in the spotlight, it was enough. And this child named Su Xiaoling insisted on competing.
"She'll definitely complain about unfairness," Qian Chengcheng said with a smile.
"Son, you must remember that there is no absolute fairness in this world," Qian Yunfei thought this was the best time to educate his son.
And at this moment.
Su Xiaoling had already gone on stage.
However.
She had also pulled a young man along.
And when Qian Yunfei clearly saw the young man's appearance.
He was stunned on the spot and froze, unable to move!
