70: Chapter 70 Haishi University

In the old district of Hai City, there was an old residential building with peeling plaster falling off in chunks.

The stairwell was stuffy with a musty smell, mixed with the fumes of someone cooking.

Inside a cramped rented room, an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine creaked as it turned.

At the doorway of the rented room stood a woman with skin as white as snow and breathtaking beauty.

She was wearing a washed-out, plain-colored long dress.

Her eyes were clean and clear, and her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy who did not eat the food of mortals.

Her name was Han Yan.

Han Yan spoke softly to the middle-aged woman busy in front of the sewing machine, "Mom, today is the first day of school at Haishi University, and I need to go report."

The middle-aged woman was Han Yan's mother, Han Xiulan.

Her face was thin and haggard, covered in fine lines carved by the years, and her hands were covered in thin calluses from years of sewing clothes.

Hearing her daughter's words, she stopped pedaling the sewing machine, raised her hand to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead, and said in a tired but gentle voice, "Alright, Yan'er, be safe on the road and take care of yourself.

Mom still has a few pieces of clothing to rush, so I won't send you off."

The mother and daughter relied on each other to survive.

Their family was poor, and their entire livelihood depended on this sewing machine.

Han Xiulan really could not spare the time to send her daughter off, and her eyes were full of guilt.

Han Yan knew her mother's thoughts.

Her eyebrows curved into a soft smile, and without any complaint, she said, "Mom, I know.

Don't worry, I can do it myself.

Don't work too hard at home, and take care of your health."

After a simple exhortation, Han Yan picked up the simple suitcase she had packed beforehand.

She gently closed the door, turned around, left home, and set off in the direction of Haishi University.

Meanwhile, the main roads around Haishi University were already completely submerged by traffic.

The sky was clear and sunny this morning, and the weather was beautiful.

It was the peak period for students to report.

Dense vehicles crowded each other, connecting head to tail, forming a long dragon of cars.

The road was blocked completely, with vehicles moving at a snail's pace.

Car horns blared one after another, full of noise.

And above the congested traffic, a luxurious private helicopter sped toward Haishi University.

The sound of the propellers cutting through the sky formed a sharp contrast with the congestion on the ground.

The interior of the helicopter was incredibly spacious, without the slightest feeling of being crowded.

Qin Yi sat in the middle.

He was wearing a well-fitting black high-end suit, his figure tall and sturdy.

His hands were spread out, pulling Qin Shiyu and Lin Wanqing to his sides.

On the left, Qin Shiyu was wearing a beige, waist-cinching, gentle-style dress.

The hem of the dress had a great drape, setting off her gentle and graceful figure.

Her black hair was coiled up, decorated with only a few tiny pearl hair accessories.

She had shed the dazzling starlight of a diva and gained a bit of the gentle tenderness of a wife.

On the right, Lin Wanqing was wearing a light pink pleated short skirt paired with a simple white shirt.

Her black hair was tied into a playful high ponytail, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

Her eyebrows and eyes were lively and pretty, with shallow dimples, exuding the vivid cuteness of a young girl, like a sweet peach, full of youthful vitality.

Leaning on Qin Yi's right shoulder, Lin Wanqing tilted her small face up and spoke to Qin Yi, her tone full of joy, "Hubby, I already changed my major yesterday.

I specifically chose the Music Department so that I can attend classes in the class taught by Sister Shiyu in the future!"

Qin Yi raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of Lin Wanqing's head, smiling dotingly, "Mm, very good.

Sister Shiyu only needs to teach one class, so she can be more relaxed.

It just happens to fulfill your wish."

Qin Yi had already arranged for Qin Shiyu to be a teacher at Haishi University six days ago.

At that time, he called the president of Haishi University and directly asked him to arrange a position as a teacher in the Music Department for Qin Shiyu, and it had to be easy, only teaching one basic class.

He would enter the school as Qin Shiyu's teaching assistant, and at the same time, he instructed him not to disclose his identity information.

The president of Haishi University on the other end of the phone, hearing Qin Yi's instructions, was extremely respectful and promised repeatedly that it would be done, not daring to have the slightest bit of negligence.

The president was highly efficient.

Less than an hour after hanging up the phone, he called back quickly, having completed all of Qin Shiyu's teacher employment procedures, course arrangements, and Qin Yi's teaching assistant status.

Qin Yi was very satisfied with this efficiency and praised him, "Efficiency is not bad, you still have a lot of room for improvement."

Upon hearing this, the president was flattered and quickly responded respectfully, "I will follow all of Young Master Qin's arrangements!

It is my honor to be able to serve Young Master Qin!"

Afterward, Qin Yi hung up the phone with a smile, completely finalizing the school entry matters.

Bringing his thoughts back, Qin Yi turned his head to look at Qin Shiyu, who was snuggled against his left shoulder.

A gentle smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and he asked softly, "Sister Shiyu, are you nervous about being a teacher for the first time?"

Qin Shiyu looked up, meeting Qin Yi's gentle eyes, and smiled calmly, "What is there to be nervous about?

It's just teaching some simple music theory knowledge.

Compared to training newcomers in the entertainment industry and managing company affairs back then, it's simply much easier."

After a pause, her eyes filled with affection.

She reached out and gently tugged on Qin Yi's sleeve, with a bit of playful teasing, "Besides, don't I have the most capable teaching assistant, Xiao Yi, helping me by my side?

Naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Qin Yi was amused by her and nodded repeatedly, his tone cooperative and doting, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely do my best to help Teacher Qin complete all teaching tasks, and I will never let Teacher Qin suffer the slightest bit of fatigue."

The helicopter's speed was fast, and in a moment, it had flown over Haishi University, after which it landed steadily on the school's exclusive helipad.

After the helicopter stopped steadily, the cabin door slowly opened.

Qin Yi stood up and got off the plane first, then reached out to gently support and protect Qin Shiyu and Lin Wanqing as they walked off the helicopter.

At this moment, on the periphery of the helipad, the president of Haishi University, Wang Qingguo, had already brought a group of high-level school leaders and was waiting there respectfully.

Seeing the three of Qin Yi walk off the helicopter, President Wang quickly stepped forward.

His figure was shorter than Qin Yi's, and at this moment, he was still bending his waist, reaching out with both hands to tightly hold Qin Yi's hand, his tone respectful, "Young Master Qin, the two young mistresses, welcome to our Haishi University.

Thank you for your hard work on the journey!"

Qin Yi looked at the principal in front of him, whose posture was extremely low, almost sycophantic, and said with a calm expression, "President Wang, you are too polite.

Thank you for your trouble with the trivial matters of this school entry."

"It's no trouble! Not a trouble at all!" President Wang quickly waved his hands, bending his waist even lower, his face full of smiles, "It is a great honor for our Haishi University that Young Master Qin and the two young mistresses are willing to condescend to come to our Haishi University!"

The school leaders standing behind President Wang, seeing him in this obsequious manner, were all full of shock, and their hearts were stirred with stormy waves!

When they first got off the plane, everyone first recognized that the gentle-tempered woman beside him was actually the national diva Qin Shiyu, who had suddenly announced her retirement from the entertainment industry not long ago.

They never expected that she would actually come to Haishi University to be a music teacher.

This was already shocking enough.

But what was even more startling to them was that President Wang, who had quite a status in the city, was so obsequious to the young man in front of him, and even respectfully addressed him as "Young Master Qin"!

Hearing the surname Qin, and seeing President Wang being so humble and ingratiating, there was only that Qin Family in Hai City!

The young man in front of them must be from the Qin Family, but they didn't know which branch he was a young master of.

And Lin Wanqing on the side, everyone had also long recognized her as the daughter of the Lin Family of Hai City, also a top-tier powerful figure they could not afford to offend.

For a time, all the school leaders held their breath, lowered their heads, and dared not look directly at the three of Qin Yi, for fear of offending the big shots if they were not careful.

Qin Yi had no intention of caring about everyone's thoughts and spoke with a calm expression, going straight to the point, "President Wang, take us to the Music Department to look around and familiarize ourselves with the teaching environment."

"Alright, alright! Young Master Qin, please this way!" President Wang quickly responded, respectfully turning to lead the way, personally bringing the three of Qin Yi, followed by a group of school leaders who dared not breathe loudly.

The group went on in a mighty force, walking toward the Music Department teaching building in the school.

Time passed quickly.

President Wang and a group of school leaders had finished showing the three of Qin Yi around the teaching grounds of the Music Department.

Then, everyone intended to take the three of Qin Yi to their exclusive office, but Qin Yi requested that the principal lead the way alone.

Hearing Qin Yi's order, President Wang dismissed the school leaders who were following, and they returned to their respective duties.

Afterward, President Wang, with a face full of smiles, led Qin Yi, Qin Shiyu, and Lin Wanqing along the spacious corridor and went straight to the door of an independent office on the innermost side of the third floor.

"Young Master Qin, the two ladies, please this way."

President Wang respectfully pushed open the heavy solid wood office door and stepped aside to make a passage, allowing the three of them to enter.

The three of Qin Yi stepped into the office.

This office was nearly 100 square meters, and it had a suite layout of three rooms and one living room.

This had already deviated from the scope of an ordinary office and was more like a fully equipped, well-decorated apartment.

As soon as they entered the door, what came into view was an open office hall.

In the center of the hall was a heavy solid wood desk, the surface of which was smooth and bright.

On it, there was an office computer, an exquisite jade pen holder, and everything else was complete.

The floor was covered with warm and non-slip marble tiles.

Not far from the desk, there were three soft leather sofas arranged around a glass coffee table, making it comfortable and atmospheric to sit on.

Walking further inside, there was also a bedroom and an independent bathroom.

Next to the bedroom was an exclusive music equipment room.

In the equipment room, there were upright pianos, music stands, and recording equipment, all of which were fully available.

"Young Master Qin, this is your exclusive office space that I specifically ordered the logistics department to rush to arrange overnight.

It is convenient for you and Teacher Qin to work, and for Miss Lin to rest during breaks.

Do you see if you are satisfied?" President Wang asked with a smile on his face.

Qin Yi looked around with a calm gaze.

The space was spacious, and the facilities were complete.

Everything was arranged extremely appropriately.

He nodded slightly and said with a satisfied tone, "The environment is good.

President Wang, you have put in the effort."

Getting this affirmation from Qin Yi, President Wang was instantly overjoyed.

He quickly waved his hands and smiled, "Young Master Qin is too polite.

This is all what I should do.

It is my honor to be able to serve you!"

Seeing that the matters after the start of school had been arranged properly, Qin Yi did not intend to let President Wang follow him anymore and said calmly, "Alright, everything that should be seen has been seen.

School opening affairs are complicated.

President, you should go down and get busy first.

You don't need to stay here to accompany us."

Upon hearing this, President Wang was very sensible and did not stay any longer.

He bowed deeply to Qin Yi, and then respectfully saluted Qin Shiyu and Lin Wanqing respectively, his tone extremely humble, "Alright, Young Master Qin, I will go down and handle school affairs first.

If you have any instructions later, please call me at any time, and I will be there whenever you call!"

After speaking, he gently closed the office door and quickly left the third floor.

After the outsider left, only the three of Qin Yi remained in the office.

Lin Wanqing, who had originally been cold-faced, instantly returned to her usual lively and playful self, holding the hem of her light pink pleated skirt and wandering around the office.

One moment she was touching the soft leather sofa, and the next she was leaning into the music equipment room to look at the professional equipment, her little head looking around, excitedly familiarizing herself with the terrain.

Qin Shiyu stood quietly in the center of the hall, holding her mobile phone in her hand, looking down and replying to messages.

Her eyebrows were gentle, her expression was focused, and her whole body exuded a calm temperament.

Seeing this, Qin Yi walked up slowly, gently hugged her slender and soft waist from behind, pulled her gently into his arms, rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, and his warm breath brushed past her ear, with a tone of curiosity:

"Sister Shiyu, what are you looking at, so focused?"

Qin Shiyu was teased by his sudden intimacy, and the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Her fingertips quickly pressed the send button, ending the conversation, before she slowly turned around, looked up to meet Qin Yi's eyes, and explained softly and in detail:

"It was a message sent by Vice President Xie of Xingchen Entertainment.

She said that she had met her distant cousin before.

That girl was not only born extremely beautiful, but also had a natural good voice and excellent singing skills.

She felt that it was astonishing when she heard it at the time, and she is a rare good material for music."

Qin Yi gently rubbed her hair with his fingertips and asked casually, "She came to you, just to talk about this?"

"Of course not."

Qin Shiyu shook her head gently, her eyebrows still filled with a gentle smile, "She said that her cousin's academic performance is very excellent, and she successfully passed the college entrance examination this year and was admitted to Haishi University.

Vice President Xie felt that such a good musical talent should not be buried.

Now that I have come to Haishi University to be a music teacher, she wanted to ask me to transfer her cousin to the Music Department and let me teach her personally, so as not to waste her good talent."

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and followed her words, asking, "So, did you agree to her?"

"Not yet."

Qin Shiyu smiled softly, her tone steady and fair, "Everything must be seen in person first, see her true talent, character, and quality, and then make a decision.

I cannot just arrange it out of favoritism.

I have already replied to Vice President Xie, asking her cousin to come directly to this office to find me.

After seeing the person, I will make a decision."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi thought about it.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do now, so let's see how talented this cousin of Vice President Xie is.

Therefore, Qin Yi hugged Qin Shiyu and walked to the sofa to sit down, saying softly, "Anyway, we are free now, so let's wait for her to come here."

Qin Shiyu leaned meekly on his shoulder, her eyebrows gentle, and gently replied with one word, "Okay."

Meanwhile, at the main gate of Haishi University, it was still crowded with people and bustling with excitement.

A green bus slowly stopped on the side of the road, and the door opened with a clatter.

Han Yan carried a worn-out suitcase with frayed edges and walked off the bus.

She stood on the side of the road, looking up at the scene in front of her.

The towering and magnificent school gate stood before her eyes.

The four characters "Haishi University" were written with vigorous brushstrokes and an imposing manner.

The crowd in the school was surging, with freshmen dragging exquisite brand-name suitcases, enthusiastic seniors guiding them, and all kinds of luxury cars shuttling back and forth, everywhere revealing the grand atmosphere of a top-tier university in China.

Han Yan tightened her grip on the rough suitcase handle in her hand, secretly feeling emotional: This is the top-tier university that countless people dream of.

It is even more magnificent than I imagined.

She took out the Redmi phone she had used for five years from her pocket, and her white fingers lightly tapped to open WeChat.

In the pinned chat box, it was the message sent by her cousin, which clearly stated: Yan Yan, after you arrive at the school, go directly to the third floor of the Music Department office building.

I have already greeted your music teacher.

She will wait for you in the office, and you can just go directly to find her."

Han Yan wrote down the address, took a deep breath, put her phone back in her pocket, dragged her slightly heavy suitcase, faced the bustling crowd, entered the gate of Haishi University, and slowly walked toward the direction of the Music Department office building.
