Chapter 778: 306 Jiangjing New Circle! New song release! (Second release)_2
Mu Yining’s gaze fell on Ren Wanxuan, who was beside her, “Wanxuan, aren’t you going back?”
“Not going back,” Ren Wanxuan put down her soup spoon. She had no affection for Ji Shaorong, “My grandpa will come to see me in a few days.”
Being able to spend the New Year in Jiangjing, Ren Wanxuan had no intention of returning to that remote city.
Moreover, with so many social gatherings in Jiangjing around the New Year, Ren Wanxuan had finally established good relationships with those young ladies and gentlemen. She didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
The next day.
On Jiang Fulai’s private jet.
Zhang Shize was on Jiang’s son’s plane for the first time.
Sitting on the sofa playing games with his class 15 mates, he hardly played games anymore. Weng Qi asked him through the headset, “That’s not right. Pingren, aren’t you supposed to be going back to Xiangcheng today? You should be on a plane now, right?”
Zhang Shize with his legs crossed, “Yeah.”
“How can you be playing games with us on a plane?” Before Weng Qi replied, another person in the team spoke up.
Zhang Shize glanced up slightly at Jiang Fulai, who was wearing a black sweater across from him, and muttered indistinctly, “I’m on Air China, they’ve got Wi-Fi now.”
“Oh, is that so,” the others in the team believed him, “then next time we go back, we’ll fly Air China too.”
Across from him.
Jiang Fulai was sitting across from Ning Xiao, his slender, cold-white hand gliding across the laptop screen, his smooth jaw lifting, his eyes still light and shallow, “Did someone guide you?”
Across from him, Ning Xiao sat up straight, “Both Academician Ma and Senior He Wen have provided me with data and ideas.”
And there was Bai Lian, who had helped him with the calculations.
He couldn’t have completed it so quickly on his own.
Jiang Fulai swiftly scanned the final acknowledgments; Bai Lian, Headmaster He Wen, their names were all mentioned. He turned the computer away and stood up, “I’ve already reported this project for you, I’ll give it directly to the chief editor at the Boss Summer Camp in a few days.”
Bai Lian was in a small room, and Jiang Fulai went to find her.
On the way, he passed by Ji Shaojun, who was playing go with Jiang He. Ji Heng and Shen Qing had returned to Xiangcheng with Lu Xiaohan ahead of time.
Lu Xiaohan wanted to learn from Grandpa Tao how to craft and control puppets and to complete a puppet show during the winter holidays.
Not far away, Ming Dongheng, who was pouring water, couldn’t help but look at Ning Xiao. Jiang Fulai spoke so casually to Ning Xiao, but from what he had overheard—
The project that Ning Xiao was collaborating with He Wen, Bai Lian, and Academician Ma on was a key project for the next twenty years.
Uranium mining, indeed.
Once this project was announced, Jiangjing University and the scientific research community were about to face another storm.
**
In just half a year’s time.
Almost all roads in Xiangcheng were widened, and the green belts were well done.
More than a dozen new residential buildings and shopping malls sprang up, and Xu En’s Xinda Hotel had been in business for several months now.
Having disembarked from the plane and taken a car to Xiangcheng, Zhang Shize and Tang Ming, among others, were all stunned.
This development in Xiangcheng was too rapid. It wasn’t the same as the neglected border city of the past. Now, calling it a second-tier, almost first-tier city was not in doubt.
Bai Lian got off at Purest Street.
Purest Street, once sparsely populated, was now bustling with people and lined with shops.
Bai Lian looked at a tourist sign next to Purest Street—
[Thousand-Year-Old Tree]
[Ancient Alley]
[Qingshui Bridge]
She was startled for a moment, and then realized that Purest Street had also become a popular spot for many people to check in at.
“Alian, you’re back?” A lady selling embroidery waved at Bai Lian, then turned to the customers at her stall and said, “This is our top scorer in Xiangcheng’s college entrance exam this year, Bai Lian. You all have heard of her, right? Her grandfather is a master embroidery teacher, and we’ve all learned from him… And Alian, before she went back to school last year, she even took the time to share her learning experiences and methods. My daughter ranked in the top ten of her class in the final exams…”
Purest Street was filled with Bai Lian’s fans.
As soon as they heard that this was the legendary girl from Xiangcheng, many people wanted to greet Bai Lian and ask about her study methods.
But seeing the tall man by her side, they abruptly stopped in their tracks.
The path leading to Ji Heng’s small courtyard had been renovated, and the stones underfoot no longer wobbled when stepped on.
Jiang Fulai stood to the left of Bai Lian, lazily sticking one hand in his pocket, while holding Bai Lian’s laptop with the other. Beside him, Jiang He toddled along, trying to keep up with the two.
“We’ll return to Jiangjing on the sixth, go to the school team on the seventh, and then we leave for M Country on the afternoon of the eighth. The boss’s training camp isn’t tough; if we’re quick, we’ll still have three days after our return to go visit the snowy mountains,” Jiang Fulai said to Bai Lian with a calm composure, making plans.
He didn’t stay in Jiangjing for the New Year again this year.
With the fifteen-day holiday, most of the time was spent accompanying Bai Lian back to Xiangcheng, a smaller part of the time reserved for travel for Bai Lian and himself.
Master Jiang’s arrangements were very reasonable.
**
After the New Year, on the sixth day.
Bai Lian and a few others finished celebrating the New Year and returned to Jiangjing.
Jiang Fulai just left the Jiang Family behind, and as soon as he arrived in Jiangjing, he had to return to take charge of affairs.
He was not very keen on going, and it was Xu Nanjing who gently informed Bai Lian, who then urged him to return. She sent Jiang Fulai off in the car, then looked down at her phone.
Several messages.
Sister Xin: [Miss Bai, Yan Lu’s new song releases at noon today! [Link]]
Today was the day Yan Lu’s new song was released.
It had been over half a month since Yan Lu recorded the song, and it had become a trending topic then. Now, finally about to be released, before noon, various music apps were already lagging badly.
Bai Lian scrolled down and sent Wen Zhixia the address.
She had planned to have lunch with Wen Zhixia. Since the engagement banquet, one was in Xiangcheng and the other in Jiangjing, they hadn’t seen each other.
Hu Yue, Liu Xin, and a few others had returned to school after the holiday, and after learning that Ning Xiao, Tang Ming, and others had also returned, some seniors invited them to a meal.
Bai Lian had to prepare materials at school tomorrow and had no time; only today was she free.
At the same time, she wanted to introduce Wen Zhixia to Hu Yue and the others.
A large group of people were bustling in the private room; Wen Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief upon finding out they were all talented students from Jiangjing University.
Though it was somewhat intense to be in a group of Jiangjing University students, it was still more normal than her recent encounter with Chairman Liao and Gao Yan.
She chatted in a low voice with Hu Yue and Bai Lian.
The New Year had just ended, and Liu Xin and Tang Ming had already downed a few beers.
At exactly twelve o’clock.
Tang Ming suddenly remembered something, stopped talking, took out his phone, opened Weibo, and helped Yan Lu retweet and like, then took a screenshot to show Zhang Shize.
“This time it’s all thanks to your influence,” Liu Xin stated with a sigh, taking a drink, then noticed Tang Ming tapping on his phone, “What are you doing?”
“Yan Lu’s new song,” Tang Ming promoted to Liu Xin, opening Yan Lu’s new song, “Wanna listen?”
Everyone present had heard of Yan Lu, and Hu Yue was surprised, “She released a new song?”
Wen Zhixia quickly took out her phone as well.
The music at the beginning sounded fine, but as it continued, it began to feel familiar. Hu Yue had a good memory; she had listened to the snippet Bai Lian played for her more than once and could even hum a little bit of it, so naturally, there was some recognition.
“Wait, what’s this song called?” Hu Yue raised her hand.
