What, there's money to be made and academic credits to be earned from Mid-Autumn Festival travel?
Upon hearing this, the students immediately became excited.
They had been so bored during the class meeting that they were almost falling asleep, but now, every single one of them was full of energy!
There were many places to visit near Jiangcheng, and quite a few people had already planned to go out and have some fun during the holiday.
After all, with the Mid-Autumn Festival combined with the weekend, it was only a three-day break. Students whose homes were far away basically weren't considering going back.
It was perfect timing to film a vlog while they were out having fun. If they got lucky, they might even earn money and credits. If not, there was no loss since they were going to have fun anyway.
Seeing that the students' enthusiasm had been ignited, Xia Lin announced again:
I've contacted a class from the Art school to collaborate with our class on this event. I'll create a large group chat on WeChat shortly. Students can find partners in the group and form teams freely. Those who want to go to the same place can team up.
"Of course, in principle, the number of people in a team should not exceed 8."
"If you want to be a team leader, you can privately message me."
Whoa, there's even a social mixer?
Hooray!
Hearing this, many of the boys' eyes lit up, and they started rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
After all, the gender ratio in the Computer Science department was extremely skewed.
Tech guys were usually introverted and shy, not knowing how to approach unfamiliar girls. This was perfect, with the team-up travel activity, it was a great opportunity to flirt with girls in the group.
It was likely that the class from the Art Academy thought the same way, except their situation was the opposite: more girls than boys.
"Director Xia, you're amazing! We love you!" Xue Tao started flattering her again.
"Stop joking around. Save your energy for chatting with the girls in the group," Xia Lin said with a smile.
"Bro, you already have a girlfriend, why are you so excited? I want to ask," Chu Mingzhe teased.
Xue Tao glanced at him, his face full of righteous indignation. "Who says you can't socialize with girls from other classes if you have a girlfriend? We're just going out together, not doing anything dirty. Right, Su Bai?"
"Me? I don't mind."
Su Bai genuinely didn't mind; this activity was something he could participate in.
He wanted to see if there were any beautiful girls worth getting to know among the art students, preferably those with an S-class charm value that could trigger cashback for him.
If this event hadn't happened, he would have asked Chen Yusheng or his senior classmate to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with, so he wouldn't be lonely.
Wealthy people rarely felt lonely when they wanted company.
Xue Tao's idea wasn't bad, but it was uncertain whether the girls at the mixer would pay attention to him. Girls who studied art had high material demands; it was unknown if they would look favorably upon him.
"What's the point of art students? They're all materialistic and empty-headed," Chu Mingzhe was promoting his taste again. "I'm not interested."
However, a while later, Xia Lin created the large group chat for the social mixer between the two classes.
Chu Mingzhe sneakily clicked into the social media profiles of some of the girls and browsed through them, then changed his tune: "Actually, this activity, it's quite good to experience it..."
"Oh my, aren't you not interested, Hu Ye?" Xue Tao said sarcastically.
"That's incorrect. I took a look at some of the girls' social media and found that they actually have quite good taste. For example, this one, she actually knows how to use Sennheiser headphones. Girls who appreciate Sennheiser have taste. Ordinary girls just mindlessly buy Apple products."
"...It's just a pair of headphones, what can that represent?"
Xue Tao muttered indignantly, leaning over to look at Chu Mingzhe's phone. "Huh, this girl is also from the Goddess Dormitory. Jiang Qiuran, I remember she's a freshman in the Broadcasting and Hosting department. I didn't expect we'd be having a mixer with their class."
"Yeah, I always thought Jiang Qiuran was a superficial art student. Who would have thought she's so knowledgeable about music."
"..."
Xue Tao's expression showed a hint of displeasure.
Actually, Jiang Qiuran was someone Xue Tao had taken a liking to when he first enrolled and encountered the Goddess Dormitory.
It was said that she originally studied dance from a young age and only switched to broadcasting and hosting in high school. Her talent was exceptional, and she was admitted to Jiangcheng University with the top score in the art entrance examination.
This meant she possessed the perfect figure of a dance student and an angelic, melodious voice.
Her delicate, pure, and alluring doll-like face, combined with her slender and graceful curves, perfectly embodied the concept of "white, thin, and young."
Any young man would be captivated by her at first glance.
Even a rich young man with a family asset of over a billion yuan confessed his feelings to Jiang Qiuran on the first day of school.
Because of this, Xue Tao, despite his strong desire, dared not harbor any fantasies about Jiang Qiuran.
His competitors were simply too formidable, and he, Xue Tao, was not strong enough.
That rich young man, it was said, drove a Porsche.
Judging by Chu Mingzhe's words, could it be that he was also interested in Jiang Qiuran?
Xue Tao mused inwardly.
It wasn't impossible.
After all, Chen Yusheng had been getting close to Su Bai recently, so perhaps Chu Mingzhe had given up on her and switched targets.
Upon hearing the name "Jiang Qiuran," Su Bai's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
He didn't participate in Xue Tao and Chu Mingzhe's discussion.
At school, he had to pretend not to know Jiang Qiuran.
This was their agreement.
The class meeting had actually ended, but everyone was busy chatting in the social group. The boys were all showing off.
So, quite a few people were still in the classroom.
Xue Tao and Chu Mingzhe turned into masters of the chat group, and the battle between "Hu Ye vs. Local" continued from the dorms to the social group.
Soon, keywords like "Four apartments in Jiangcheng," "Driving a Magotan in freshman year," and "From a high-ranking executive family in Shanghai, a scholarly background" predictably flooded the chat.
The group was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Su Bai couldn't even be bothered to change his group nickname; he just went with the flow.
[Yu Xie: Big White Goose, are you going?]
Chen Yusheng's message came through.
It was brief, but Su Bai understood her perfectly.
This outing was voluntary, and it was fine if he didn't want to participate. Su Bai had initially thought that given Chen Yusheng's introverted personality, she definitely wouldn't go.
But now she was suddenly messaging him privately, and the hidden intention was quite obvious.
[Crispy Big White Goose: I want to go, will you accompany me?]
[Crispy Big White Goose: [Transfer - 15,000 yuan]]
[Yu Xie: ???]
[Yu Xie: Why are you sending me money again?]
[Crispy Big White Goose: I figured you wouldn't like traveling, but I really want to go with you, so this is the fee for companionship, similar to a paid companion.]
[Yu Xie: Why would it be so expensive!]
[Crispy Big White Goose: I'm not lying, that's the market price. If you don't believe me, search online for "Sanya companion," three days and two nights are about this price.]
[Yu Xie: [Cat looking skeptical emoji]]
Chen Yusheng went to search, and the results made her eyelids twitch and her breathing quicken.
Wh-what kind of companion service is this? This companion service is completely improper!
[Yu Xie: [Scared cat emoji]]
[Yu Xie: Yo-you said that kind of companion service includes that kind of service, but I, um...]
[Crispy Big White Goose: I definitely won't ask you to do that kind of thing, don't worry.]
[Yu Xie: But a companion service that doesn't include that kind of service wouldn't be that expensive, right?]
[Yu Xie: Big White Goose, I can't accept this money, it's too much.]
Tsk, this adorable, bookish girl is quite clever!
Su Bai just needed to continue using his skill in sophistry:
[Crispy Big White Goose: But in my eyes, the emotional value you provide is equivalent to the value provided by Sanya companions to their clients. I feel very happy when I'm with you.]
[Crispy Big White Goose: Just take it. You know my spending habits are different from normal people.]
[Yu Xie: But I think, um...]
[Crispy Big White Goose: I don't care what you think, I only care what I think.]
[Yu Xie: ...Alright then.]
[Yu Xie: [Cat rolling around]]
