Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Her Highness’s Home Turf!
Yang Yilian sneered, "Master Meng, you probably haven’t seen Xia Weibao perform classical dance, have you? She often exchanges ideas on classical dance with Mulan. Have you ever seen her discuss calligraphy with anyone?
Her preference for ancient dance over calligraphy is obvious."
With a glare, Meng Songbai said, "That’s because there are fewer people interested in calligraphy nowadays. She can’t find anyone to exchange ideas with, which is why she needs a platform. The Calligraphy Department is the best choice!"
Watching the two of them argue back and forth, Xiong Gang held his phone with immense relief.
Luckily, he doesn’t have to compete with anyone else.
It’s just a pity he doesn’t know who that person is yet; hopefully, he’ll find out.
Ding Heqiu shook his head, unable to understand these people. They’re all getting on in years, yet they’re tearing each other apart over a girl, really regressing.
Lowering their status.
He’s the calm one, dedicatedly researching ancient medicine, dismissing everyone else.
Nowadays, young people interested in medicine all study Western medicine, with fewer and fewer opting for Chinese medicine.
Even if he wanted to take on a disciple, no one appeals to him.
"By the way, where is Old Pei?" Ding Heqiu asked.
The National Studies Association has five departments: Ancient Medicine, Ancient Martial Arts, Ancient Dance, Calligraphy, and Folk Music.
Now, the heads of four departments are here, only Pei Hong is missing.
Xiong Gang scrolled through the video again, then said without looking up, "Old Pei called me last night, saying he had his eye on a girl and was figuring out how to invite her into the Folk Music Department.
But that girl doesn’t seem interested in joining, so Old Pei is waiting it out."
"Who is it, with such an attitude, refusing an invitation from Old Pei himself?"
"No idea, he didn’t say, acting all mysterious."
Ding Heqiu and Xiong Gang chatted casually, while Yang Yilian and Meng Songbai were still arguing, suddenly pausing.
Xiong Gang and Ding Heqiu weren’t interested in Xia Weibao, so they didn’t follow any news about her, unaware she was replaced as the guqin performer.
But since they were actively recruiting, they paid attention all along.
Upon hearing this, they instantly realized who Pei Hong intended to invite.
What the heck!
How sneaky!
Inviting recruits behind their backs!
Yang Yilian looked very displeased, "Old Pei is really out of line, Xia Weibao was clearly scouted by me first, yet he dares to compete!"
"What do you mean you scouted her first? Clearly, I did! However, Old Pei did go too far. No, I have to head to Capital University too."
Meng Songbai left without another word.
Yang Yilian certainly wouldn’t lose the initiative either. Recruiting someone is all about showing sincerity.
Leaving Xiong Gang and Ding Heqiu staring at each other.
Does this mean the girl Pei Hong’s interested in is also Xia Weibao?
Impressive, this woman, being simultaneously sought after by three major departments of the National Studies Association.
Xiong Gang felt somewhat gleeful, there’s going to be a good show, and he wondered who would succeed.
Luckily, the martial arts expert he had his eye on is unrivaled, with no competition!
Ding Heqiu was even more gleeful but also a bit disdainful, thinking he was indeed the most dignified, dismissing everyone else.
The National Studies Association’s headquarters is also in the Imperial City, about an hour’s drive from Imperial City University.
The two were afraid Pei Hong would gain the upper hand. If Xia Weibao joined the Folk Music Department, wouldn’t they suffer a big loss?
However, upon arriving at Imperial City University, they found they were overly concerned.
Xia Weibao wasn’t there; she had the day off, went on a wild goose chase.
At the hotel, Xia Weibao, holding her waist, got up from the bed and saw the man in a bathrobe walking out of the bathroom, really wanting to kick him into the toilet!
