Chapter 98: New Semester
Chapter 98: New Semester
“I remember this company. Sis said, in a video, that this agency is the only one in Eastern Asia that sells Cats’ Garden cat food.”
“I remember that, too.”
“Our live-streamer’s directly going into the company.”
“And the front desk sis looks friendly and cooperating!”
…
Everyone was discussing, but Princess Man did not reply to anyone’s comment.
After a few more minutes, she sent another picture with the same caption: “Now, I’m here.”
This time, she was giving a close-up on a cup of tea. There was a pile of files near the cup, and the fans could almost read Traditional Chinese on the cover of the files: “Contract of Mainland Network Dealing Rights for New Zealand Cats’ Garden Cat Food.”
“Oh, my god. Our live-streamer’s directly showing us the contract.”
“This time, I would like to see what rumors the spammers can make.”
“Princess is becoming a dealer! Not a surrogate! The contract’s here to guarantee her products’ quality. Everyone can now trust her and can purchase cat food from our princess.”
“Yeah. I trust our live-streamer, anyway.”
…
After an hour, everyone originally thought Princess Man would not be sending another post. But she did, and the caption was still: “Now, I’m here.”
In the photo, a man and a woman were shaking hands. The photographer did not capture their faces, so the viewers could only see the clothes they were wearing and them shaking each other’s hands. It was a business-style celebration after they successfully signed the contract.
The fans could tell the woman was Princess Man through her clothing and her stature.
But who was this man?
Soon, Princess Man answered this question that was in everyone’s minds.
She directly pinged AlexHuangHuangShiting on Wei Bo, “This is the general manager of Hong Kong Westland Ltd., Mr. Huang Shiting. If anyone has any suspicions about my dealing rights, you can direct your inquiries to him anytime.”
Author’s Note: In one of the s, it was mentioned that Huang Shiting made a Wei Bo account only to browse Liu Man’s posts.
When they signed the contracts, under Liu Man’s extreme persuasion, he edited his Wei Bo name and filled out his profile seriously. Such an easy thing could help Liu Man a lot, and he was naturally willing to help her.
After Huang Shiting got pinged, he soon sent his first Wei Bo post in traditional Chinese, “Greetings, everyone. I’m Huang Shiting. Today, our company has officially authorized @Princess Man as the Mainland network dealer for New Zealand Cats’ Garden cat food.”
Princess Man replied “thanks” in the comments section before reposting his Wei Bo.
A few seconds later, “I’m a vet” dropped a like on this post and also reposted it.
Many fans immediately went to Huang Shiting’s main page to follow him. They also commented and dropped likes under his Wei Bo to support real cat foods.
Before, his Wei Bo was a new account and only had two followers: “Princess Man” and “I’m a vet.” Now, he suddenly had more than 3,000 fans.
Those spammers who were causing a farce were like a relinquished fire, and they had to give up.
After this entire event, Liu Man’s Wei Bo grew to have 70k fans.
March 4th was the day when the Capital Music University opens again. Liu Man rode the last plane flying from Hong Kong back to the Capital on the previous night, and she only arrived home that night at one-thirty.
Liu Man made it to the dormitory at 8 a.m.
The music university was just like common colleges. Students had to report to the class president on the first day of the semester, who would record the names on a list before submitting it to the school counselors.
According to the school rules, Liu Man should’ve gotten back to school on the previous night, for on the first day, the class president would’ve already handed in the list.
Li Xiaoru immediately sent a message into their class group chat as soon as she saw Liu Man.
“@Class President, Liu Man is back in the dormitory.”
As expected, the class president replied, “I’ll let the counselors know later.”
Wang Nina scolded Liu Man, “Even if you love your home so much, you didn’t have to arrive at school at the last second. What if the counselors aren’t empathetic and record you as absent?”
Li Xiaoru refuted her,
“It’s not like she’s skipping a class. Aren’t we heading off to the first class in the morning right now? You are making such a big deal out of this. Besides, we haven’t been seeing Man Man for such a long time since school ended before the break. You’re berating her as soon as you meet her instead of asking why she took so long. Are you even her friend?”
This speech made Wang Nina speechless.
Liu Man had noticed a little of the change in Wang Nina’s attitude towards her. Wang Nina’s tone was full of opposition and dissatisfaction right now and when they had that online conversation on New Year’s Eve.
Wang Nina seemed to see her like a needle in the eye.
But Liu Man did not try reasoning or arguing against Wang Nina. She decided to keep on her positive attitude as she chatted with her.
The trio walked towards the academic building together. Now and then, there would be students walking by pointing at Liu Man and exclaiming,
“Look, look, she’s the ‘Hanfu Goddess’!”
“She’s that cyber star who accompanied Coco.”
“She’s pretty in person, too.”
“We knew her already. She was wearing Hanfu onstage with Coco near the end of last semester, and the video went lit, so Coco started calling her ‘Hanfu Goddess.’”
“I think her accompaniment for Coco’s ‘Thinking About You’ sounds good.”
“She’s a piano major, after all.”
“She’s pretty, and she’s a good pianist. It would be weird if she’s not famous.”
As expected, when Liu Man accompanied Coco at the pedestrian mall in Shanghai during the break, she became even more famous. She also stabled her nickname as a cyber star, “Hanfu Goddess.” Now, probably the entire music university knew about her.
Li Xiaoru walked with Liu Man, her face raised, and her chest up. She felt like she had a reason to be proud since she was one of “Hanfu Goddess”’s best friends.
Wang Nina, however, had her head lowered, and her expression was upset. Her least favorite phrase, right now, was “Hanfu Goddess”.
Liu Man, one of the worst students in their grade level, could count as a “good pianist”?
That’s such a joke. Liu Man can only fool the amateurs.
Why the crap would she be called “Hanfu Goddess”? Didn’t she get popular only because she has a slightly better than average appearance? If ugly girls like Li Xiaoru accompanied Coco, she could do way better. Li Xiaoru wouldn’t become a cyber star, and she wouldn’t be called a Goddess.
Wang Nina thought everyone around her was very shallow. Why was no one caring about those people with real skills and talents? At the end of the last semester, the piano major’s had a ranking of the level of professional skills. Wang Nina was number 7, Li Xiaoru was number 15, and Liu Man was number 102. Their piano major had only 132 students in total. If Liu Man didn’t score 86 points on her exam out of pure luck and get high scores in the common public classes and music theory exams, Liu Man’s ranking would be even lower.
It was clear how terrible Liu Man was at playing the piano.
These stupid people on the internet thought her level was as high as a goddess’s.
Wang Nina thought it was utterly ridiculous.
