The comments about Qin Shou Sheng's perceived sycophancy towards foreign things and his critique of Ting Yu did not only make netizens restless.
Even many official media outlets stepped forward to speak for Ting Yu.
Among them, the first to support Ting Yu was the Opera Association.
Almost as soon as this matter was exposed, they posted a long article on their official Weibo criticizing Qin Shou Sheng.
Then, they expressed their recognition of Ting Yu's talent.
Following that, the official Weibo of the Porcelain Association also stepped forward.
Netizens were not particularly surprised by this, as both "Chilian" and "Qing Hua Ci" had received the recognition of these two associations.
However, what was even more unbelievable was that.
Besides the Opera Association and the Porcelain Association.
The Martial Arts Association, Calligraphy Association, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, the four major national quintessences of China, all posted long articles supporting Ting Yu.
And they implicitly suggested that Ting Yu was biased, only writing songs for opera and porcelain.
There was a subtle hint of them inviting Ting Yu to write more songs.
What surprised netizens the most was that artists from Shuang Qing City seemed to have united overnight, all standing up to support Ting Yu.
This scene left entertainment companies from other provinces utterly bewildered.
When did the entertainment industry in Shuang Qing City become so united?
Qin Shou Sheng, as if intimidated by so many people, fell silent after his last Weibo post.
"Is this an attempt to gather all the songs of national quintessence to summon a divine dragon?"
"In that case, Qin Shou Sheng actually did a good deed."
"Haha, now it depends on how Ting Yu responds. However, this person seems very low-key. I wonder if he will directly confront him."
"If he dares to confront Qin Shou Sheng head-on, I, Lu Di Jian Xian, will forever be his devoted fan!"
"Don't pressure Ting Yu. Being able to write 'Qing Hua Ci' and 'Chilian' is already very impressive. As for martial arts and calligraphy, they are very difficult to write about, and songs about traditional Chinese medicine, who knows how to write them?"
"That's right. These industries are called national quintessence precisely because of their extreme professionalism. One needs to understand these industries very well to write fitting songs. And Ting Yu is also human, not a god."
"Let's not jump to conclusions. Let's see how Ting Yu responds!"
"It seems Ting Yu doesn't have Weibo at all, does he?"
"Damn, now that you mention it, I just remembered..."
...
Qing Da University, Composition Department.
There was a professional class today.
After the class bell rang.
The counselor, Zhang Qin, had already finished taking attendance.
At this moment, two students rushed to the classroom door.
"Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry, I woke up late..."
"I'll definitely be on time next time!"
The two looked at Zhang Qin, a little embarrassed.
"You can either leave or stand at the back and listen to the class. Choose for yourselves."
Zhang Qin said with a cold, expressionless face.
The two students pondered for a moment, then gritted their teeth and walked to the back of the classroom to stand.
They didn't want to miss Zhang Qin's class.
Because, while she was outwardly the counselor of the Composition Department at Qing Da University, she also had a side profession as an ace producer for an entertainment company.
Students who wanted to attend her classes at the school could line up to the school gate.
For any of her classes, even students from other departments would come to join in.
"Let's continue the class."
Seeing that the two students had voluntarily moved to the back of the classroom, Zhang Qin nodded with satisfaction.
Just then, Su Yu slowly appeared at the classroom door.
"Report..."
He said from outside.
He had overslept today, hence the slight tardiness.
"Su Yu actually came?"
"I thought he wouldn't come again."
"However, he seems to have run into trouble."
"This makes it more interesting. I can't wait to see him stand and listen to the class."
"Haha, does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's the top scorer in the college entrance examination?"
"..."
The classmates started discussing amongst themselves.
The two students at the back of the classroom also showed relieved smiles.
Then they moved aside a couple of steps, leaving a space for Su Yu. Standing and listening to the class with the top scorer made them feel exceptionally comfortable.
"Why are you here so late?"
Zhang Qin glanced at Su Yu and said expressionlessly.
"Uh... I slept too soundly, and the alarm didn't wake me."
Su Yu awkwardly scratched his head.
*Pfft!*
Su Yu's answer made the classmates unable to hold back their laughter.
It was the exact same reason as the two students just now.
They would definitely take a photo of him standing and listening to the class and post it on the school forum.
Thinking of this, someone had already taken out their phone.
Zhang Qin, however, frowned.
She secretly thought, couldn't you find a different excuse...
However, she still nodded lightly and said to Su Yu, "Come in, and be mindful of the time next time."
"Thank you, teacher."
Su Yu was relieved at this and then walked into the classroom, heading towards his seat in the corner.
The classmates who were ready to watch the show, and had just taken out their phones, were stunned on the spot.
???
What was going on?
Why was he fine?
"Teacher, we are not convinced!"
"That's right, we all overslept, why can he sit and listen to the class!"
Now, the two students at the back of the classroom were unhappy.
I've already made space for you, and you get to sit and listen?
"If you are not convinced, you can leave."
To their surprise, Zhang Qin directly silenced them with her response.
She was being that forceful.
This was clearly blatant favoritism.
The two students had no choice but to shut up, their faces filled with dissatisfaction and helplessness.
For classes at Zhang Qin's level, if one were to study privately outside, each session would cost at least five figures.
Therefore, after thinking about it, they decided to stay.
"By the way, Su Yu," she suddenly looked at Su Yu.
"Teacher, what is it?" Su Yu asked curiously after sitting down.
"Come to my office after class," Zhang Qin said, then continued her lecture.
The classmates looked at Su Yu with peculiar expressions.
So, the teacher wasn't showing favoritism, but wanted to discipline Su Yu privately.
Thinking of this, the two students at the back of the classroom felt much better.
At most, they would have to stand and listen, but Su Yu was being called to the office. It seemed the teacher wasn't biased.
Instead, they had misunderstood her.
Thinking of this, they looked at Su Yu with a hint of pity.
...
As the end of the class approached.
Zhang Qin looked at Tian Yu from the podium and asked, "For the final test's team formation, only you and Su Yu are left. You two should form a team."
"Teacher, I want to be in a team by myself!"
Before Su Yu could speak, Tian Yu said first.
"Why?" Zhang Qin asked, somewhat surprised.
"I don't want to be burdened by a dead weight," Tian Yu said with a cold smile, glancing at Su Yu.
Zhang Qin was taken aback. She opened her mouth, then finally shook her head and sighed, "Alright, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Tian Yu was a student she highly regarded. At this age, she already possessed the skill level of an intermediate producer, indicating her extremely high talent. She hadn't expected there to be a feud between her and Su Yu.
However, this was not something she was concerned about.
"Su Yu, come to my office with me." She looked at Su Yu.
Then she packed her teaching materials and walked out of the classroom.
Su Yu got up. As he walked past Tian Yu, he heard her cold snort, "Dare to make a bet?"
"What?" Su Yu was startled.
"If my score in the final test is higher than yours, you will give Lin Yan Yu to me. If your score is higher than mine, I can agree to any request you have," Tian Yu said with a light laugh.
Su Yu looked at her with some bewilderment, then said faintly, "Little kid, go play somewhere else."
Damn it, no wonder this Tian Yu had hostility towards him. It turned out she had feelings for Lin Yan Yu...
A love rival?
And it's a woman?
This is absurd...
"I'll take that as a yes," Tian Yu said forcefully, watching Su Yu's retreating back.
