The two of them sat in the meeting room for a while, and soon the Music Festival's sponsor arrived.

Director Bai, Madam Bai, and Miss Bai.

The whole family, together as one.

"We meet again? I didn't expect you to be part of Xingnan University's Student Union!"

Bai Yi spotted Jiang Linyuan and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Yi Yi, keep your voice down."

Director Bai was a mature, steady middle-aged man. Seeing his daughter's casual demeanor, he reminded her to behave.

"Oh, Yi Yi just likes making friends. The young people obviously know each other too—why are you butting in?"

Madam Bai discontentedly slapped Director Bai's hand, her words dripping with doting affection.

Director Bai glanced at her but didn't say much. He simply walked to the table, sat down, and brought up the Music Festival matter:

"This time, we don't intend to meddle too much with the festival. We only have one small request we hope your school can accommodate."

"We've hired a band and would like them added to the performance lineup."

Shen Wanyu looked at him, then turned to Jiang Linyuan.

Why are you looking at me?

"Hmm, I checked with your school's administration, and they said it'd be better to leave this up to the students."

Director Bai looked at Jiang Linyuan as he spoke.

Before coming, he had first contacted Xingnan University's Vice Principal to discuss the matter.

But he was told to handle it with the students, to negotiate with the Student Union's External Liaison Department.

How intriguing—this sponsorship was meant as an apology to Miss Su of the Su Family, yet the Vice Principal, who was the Su Family's Live-in Son-in-Law, had delegated the entire matter to the students?

Moreover, from what his daughter had told him, on that day at Purple Mountain, Miss Su had stood up for a young man.

That young man was likely the one sitting right in front of him now.

After weighing all these considerations, Director Bai truly didn't dare to underestimate Jiang Linyuan. He continued:

"If you agree, I'll contact your school administration right now."

What kind of backwards world is this?

I nod, and then the school administration handles things? How could such a dream come true?

So this is the world of the elite? It's incredible.

Jiang Linyuan saw Director Bai's attitude and figured the Vice Principal must have pulled some strings behind the scenes.

Sigh, the legacy of the Live-in Son-in-Law? Interesting.

"Alright, as long as the school approves it, there's no problem."

Jiang Linyuan nodded. After speaking, he grew a bit curious:

"Can I ask one more thing—why bring in an off-campus band?"

Director Bai sighed, rubbed his brow, and looked over at Bai Yi:

"You explain."

Bai Yi immediately smiled at Jiang Linyuan:

"I actually prepared this for Xiao Xiao. Her birthday happens to fall on the same day as the Music Festival, so I thought I'd invite her favorite band to come and celebrate her birthday."

What a true best friend.

Jiang Linyuan was a bit stunned. Miss Bai treated Phone Girl that well?

"How foolish."

Shen Wanyu's cold comment cut through the air, drawing the gazes of both Director Bai and Madam Bai.

Madam Bai frowned upon hearing this and said discontentedly:

"Oh, you child, the way you talk—"

"Don't speak."

Director Bai cut her off, then stared at Shen Wanyu's face, somewhat startled.

Wasn't this that person's daughter? Why wasn't she staying in Yanjing? What was she doing in Jinling?!

He gaped at Shen Wanyu, unsure of what to say.

Although she was technically an illegitimate daughter, that was only because the older generation of the Shen Family refused to acknowledge her. That person in the Shen Family, however, treated her as the heir apparent.

In a few more years, she probably wouldn't be known as an illegitimate daughter anymore.

He never expected to run into her here. The thought sparked new ideas in Director Bai's mind.

His political career had basically hit a dead end, but if that person could put in a good word for him...

"Director Bai, is there anything else you'd like to discuss about the Music Festival?"

Shen Wanyu said.

Director Bai paused, then shook his head:

"Ah, no, that's all. I wish you a successful Music Festival. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any further."

With that, he turned to Bai Yi:

"Yi Yi, stay here and have some fun. Call me when you want to go home, and I'll come pick you up."

After speaking, he pulled his bewildered wife out of the meeting room.

Truly terrifying. No wonder that person in the Shen Family was willing to burn bridges with his own family just to have her recognized.

"Department Head, did Director Bai recognize you?"

Jiang Linyuan watched Director Bai's retreating figure and asked.

"Yes."

Shen Wanyu nodded, then looked at the bewildered Bai Yi:

"I can't tell whether you're genuinely stupid or just pretending to be."

Bai Yi froze, then broke into a silly smile:

"Is there something wrong with preparing a birthday gift for a friend?"

"Hopeless."

Shen Wanyu said coldly.

Bai Yi scratched her head sheepishly and said to Shen Wanyu:

"Thank you for that day on Purple Mountain. I've been wanting to find a chance to say it."

Shen Wanyu closed her eyes and said:

"I just didn't like the way they were using their authority to pressure others. You don't need to thank me." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Is that so."

Bai Yi let out a Sentimental Sigh.

"You're really impressive."

"Can I ask—when I celebrate Xiao Xiao's birthday, can I also prepare some extra little surprises?"

Shen Wanyu didn't answer. She just said to Jiang Linyuan:

"You handle it."

Handle what exactly?

Jiang Linyuan felt that the Department Head disliked Bai Yi—even more than she disliked Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Did the Department Head have a phobia of stupidity?

Probably not. She had Mind Reading. If she truly hated stupidity, then the entire world probably looked like a bunch of idiots to her.

"Oh, right! You're a guy, so you should know better how to please a girl!"

Bai Yi turned to Jiang Linyuan, asking excitedly.

"Tell me, what if I also gave Xiao Xiao a big plushie?"

"Even though she might not really like that kind of thing."

This person just talks to herself—did I even agree to this?

Jiang Linyuan looked at her and said grumpily:

"Why don't you just dress up as a plushie yourself and give yourself to her?"

"Oh? That's actually a great idea! Xiao Xiao will definitely be surprised then!"

Bai Yi broke into a goofy grin, as if she were already picturing the scene.

"What kind of plushie do you think would be best?"

She asked again.

So annoying. Is the Music Festival meant for this kind of thing?

"I'm not Zhang Xiaoxiao, so how would I know what plushie she likes."

Jiang Linyuan continued:

"If it were me, I'd definitely choose SpongeBob."

"SpongeBob? Hmm, he's not very cute, though. Do all you guys like that kind of thing?"

Bai Yi asked.

"No, I only like SpongeBob because he's sexy."

Jiang Linyuan said.

"S-Sexy?"

Bai Yi was dumbfounded.

What does SpongeBob have to do with being sexy?

"Sigh..."

Shen Wanyu let out a sigh and silently put on her headphones.

Jiang Linyuan broke into a grin:

"Think about it—SpongeBob is covered in pores. That means there's no opening he can't get into."

"Looked at that way, isn't he pretty sexy?"
