Chu Qingqing covered her mouth in surprise. She had never thought that dropping out of school was related to He Qianqian. She looked at Shen Shu, hesitant to speak, and her head was buzzing.

When they heard the word "drop out", everyone's heart skipped a beat, and those who were about to leave stopped in their tracks.

The incident in which Wang Xian joined forces with the former grade director Ding Qiang and several parents to force Shen Shu to drop out of school was a hot topic some time ago and was known to everyone.

I thought this matter had already ended, and even many classmates had gradually forgotten about it, but there was actually a reversal? From what Shen Shu said, this was still planned by He Qianqian!

"Oh my god, from now on, who will dare to play with He Qianqian? It's really no one."

"I dare not think about it too much. I am afraid for Shen Shu. If these methods were used on me, I would have been in trouble long ago."

"..."

Thinking about the cause and effect of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. He Qianqian looked gentle and kind on weekdays, but she was so cruel behind the scenes.

Shen Shu has never been a person who would let himself suffer any loss, and he would always retaliate on the spot if he had a grudge.

However, after learning from Shen Ying that it was He Qianqian who planned the expulsion, Shen Shu chose to remain silent, which was unusual because of Chu Qingqing, the middleman.

But the golden ticket of immunity from death only works once, if she dares to have such evil thoughts again, she will have to bear the corresponding consequences. So she used the piano to gather the crowd, and when the crowd was most angry, she exposed all of He Qianqian's actions.

Shen Shu knew very well that people like He Qianqian had a very strong self-esteem. Now that her reputation was ruined, she was left with only one choice.

"There's nothing to talk about. I'm just transferring to another school and leaving."

He Qianqian curled her lips into a sneer, glanced at the crowd who were pointing at her, and left the backstage without looking back.

Chu Qingqing stared at her leaving back in a daze, and the fragments of the two of them growing up together flashed through her mind. Tears unconsciously wet her cheeks.

Jin Yuhao sighed and patted the shoulder of the person next to him comfortingly.

He had long felt that something was wrong with He Qianqian. He always heard her intentionally or unintentionally suppressing Chu Qingqing with words, and they were implicitly comparing themselves with each other in all aspects.

Only Chu Qingqing's carefree personality could allow her to play with him for such a long time. It is a good thing that her hypocritical face has been exposed now, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will arise later.

There were many performances this time, and after the closing ceremony, more than half an hour had passed since school was over. The school gate was crowded with parents and private cars waiting to pick up their children.

"Registration for the domestic racing league is about to begin. Do you plan to participate?"

Gu Xingye carried his guitar and walked out of the auditorium with Shen Shu.

Shen Shu was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She had been busy with things one after another recently and had no time to inquire about the specific matters and rule changes of the competition.

In previous years, registration started in late October and the competition began in early November. Why is it a whole month earlier this year?

"Sign up, what about you?"

She has now gradually gotten used to the repetitive high school life, and when she thinks of the Miami NASCAR race where she won the championship three months ago, she always feels as if she were in another world.

"I plan to get points and go all out to enter the F1 event, and I won't participate in the league."

Gu Xingye sighed with regret, not knowing when he could compete with Shen Shu. There was no chance in the league, let alone in the Formula One event.

After all, Shen Shu has not even participated in the entry-level F4. It will probably take at least two or three years for her to stand on the same field with me.

He knew that Shen Shu had great talent for racing, but ordinary racing and formula racing were two different things, and it was well known that in human history, no female racing driver had ever made it into F1.

Shen Shu nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions. With her current physical fitness, she was still a little short of participating in Formula One racing. Anyway, she had the technical bonus accumulated in her previous life, so she could wait for two years before getting involved in Formula One.

As the saying goes, good food is never too late, and good wine is never too old.

"By the way, I heard that the rules of the competition have changed starting this year."

"All drivers who sign up for the league must have a sponsoring team behind them. Each team can only sponsor one driver per year."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xingye said seriously.

He remembered that Shen Shu did not join any team, and this rule was not in her favor.

Shen Shu's cool and delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly. She remembered this rule very clearly. It was not finalized and implemented until 2020 in the future, in order to ensure the fairness and rigor of the competition.

The point is that it is 2010 now, how could this rule appear? ! And because the registration time was suddenly moved forward by a month, almost all teams had already confirmed the players they would guarantee, so she had no chance to cram at the last minute.

She already had some suspicions in her heart, and always felt that someone was deliberately setting up a trap against her.

Just as Shen Shu was seriously analyzing and thinking about this matter, a familiar figure came into view at the school gate.

It was Gu Xingye’s mother Feng Xiuying. She was wearing a luxurious Max Mara suit today and carrying a classic Hermès bag on her wrist, looking like a real rich lady.

"You come home with me today."

As soon as she finished speaking, the driver stepped forward and opened the back door of the Bentley for Gu Xingye.

"We'll talk some other time."

Gu Xingye nodded to Shen Shu, then got into the car with a calm expression.

Feng Xiuying raised her hand and gently gathered her hair. The look she gave Shen Shu was different from the complicated one last time. This time there was a bit more contempt and disdain.

Before, because she was a relative of her eldest sister-in-law Zheng Wanshuang, she would be more or less nice to her. But today, when she saw her and her son Gu Xingye together, she suddenly felt unhappy.

This was the first time she saw Gu Xingye being so persistent with a girl. His methods must be very complicated.

It would be fine if Shen Shu was a good match, but she heard that this girl's family went bankrupt and now she opened a small supermarket in a small county town...

Such a family background cannot be compared with theirs at all, not to mention that Gu Xingye is a well-known talented racing driver at home and abroad, and his future is bright.

Feng Xiuying decided that she must find an opportunity to discuss things with Shen Shu, to make her understand how big the gap between them was, and to put an end to those tactics and thoughts as soon as possible.

Shen Shu was only concerned about the car race and didn't pay any attention to Feng Xiuying. To her, she wasn't even a relative, at most a familiar stranger.

Time passed quickly and it was the break time of the next morning. When Shen Shu was chatting with his new deskmate Jiang Wei, the school broadcast suddenly sounded.

"Now we announce the list of candidates for the National Day Gala on TV..."

---

"I think this song 'March in the Dark' deserves a spot in terms of both its listening quality and originality. And the spirit it contains is also in line with the theme of the National Day Gala!"

"But her piano playing level is not very high. In comparison, I am more optimistic about Lu Bai. His piano playing level is recognized as top-notch!"

Yang Zhong had a heated argument with several other judges over Shen Shu's program. They had not decided on the spot for the instrumental group from the end of the selection until this morning.

After watching Shen Shu's performance yesterday, Yang Zhong knew that he had encountered a composing genius that is rare in decades.

Out of love and appreciation for her talent, he wanted to give her an opportunity to show her talent in front of more people so that everyone could see Shen Shu's talent.

A male judge pushed his glasses, raised his hand and took out the score sheet of yesterday's competition from his file bag, and handed it to Xue Bo, who was sitting next to him without saying a word.

They all knew that this old gentleman was a master in the piano world and held an important position in the art world, and he came all the way from the capital just for Lu Bai.

So even though they admired Shen Shu, they still wanted to give the only spot in the instrumental group to Lu Bai in order to please Xue Bo.

Yang Zhong rolled his eyes speechlessly in his heart. Although he had wanted to please Xue Bo before, when it came to major issues, he was still very clear about sticking to his bottom line in choosing people.

Xue Bo took the score sheet under everyone's gaze. He was actually hesitating and didn't know what to choose.

If nothing unexpected happened, this spot should have gone to Lu Bai, but who would have thought that a dark horse would appear halfway through. The two of them have their own strengths, and it is really difficult to choose. No matter who you choose, you will have some regrets.

When several judges saw Xue Bo lost in thought, they all fell silent for fear of disturbing this important figure.

Yang Zhong opened his mouth and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He still wanted to fight for Shen Shu again, even if the hope was slim.

Just as he was about to speak, a strange man knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sir, it's my wife's phone call."

When they heard that it was Xue Bo's wife calling, several judges including Yang Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up.

It is well known that Xue Bo has a high status in the art world, and his wife Rong Xiuyun is even more of a big shot! She is the president of the Vocalists Association of Country Z, and is also a well-known soprano singer with high prestige in the world!

Rong Xiuyun was also named a national first-class actor and pioneered the national singing style in the Z country. The most important thing is that her surname is Rong, the Rong family, one of the four families in Beijing that controls the lifeline of domestic entertainment culture!

Xue Bo was a little unhappy when his train of thought was suddenly interrupted, but when he heard that it was his wife calling, he immediately put away his temper. He took the assistant's phone and pressed the answer button with a puzzled look on his face.

At this time of year normally, his wife should be training the choir students at the high school affiliated to Jingcheng University. How could she have the time to pay attention to him?

"Old man, if I remember correctly, you have been in Zheng City, Nanhe Province during this period, right?"

Rong Xiuyun is in her early sixties this year. She has a head of white hair neatly tied into a bun. Her elegant and calm temperament, which has been accumulated over the years, gives people a gentle and dignified feeling of a peaceful life.

She stood upright by the classroom window, looking at the students doing voice training inside, feeling very emotional. If nothing had happened to that child's family, with her talent, she should have been able to take on the responsibility of singing in the treble section of the choir by herself.

"Yes, I'm at Zhengzhou Foreign Language High School. What can I do for you?"

Xue Bo casually flipped through the score sheet in his hand. He had mentioned to his wife earlier that he was coming here to recruit disciples.

"After you finish your work, don't rush back. Go to Nanshiqi County for me to check on a student."

Rong Xiuyun paused and continued, "Her name is Shen Shu. She is the child I mentioned to you before who is very talented and whom I want to fully fund and train."

In recent years, she has frequently traveled to various universities, hoping to meet a gifted student to succeed her.

After searching for many years, he finally met Shen Shu, but he never expected that the kid's family suddenly went bankrupt, and he voluntarily gave up the condition of full funding and left the capital.

Whenever a student came to ask to be her apprentice, Rong Xiuyun would think of Shen Shu. When she thought of her husband Xue Bo's recent trip to Nanhe Province, she decided to ask him to visit her and learn about Shen Shu's recent situation.

Hearing the name Shen Shu, Xue Bo was stunned and sat up straight. He quickly searched the score sheet in his hand and found the one for "March of the Dark Night".

He looked at the composer column, his voice trembling slightly and he unconsciously raised the volume. "Old woman, you said...you are talking about Shen Shu?!"

Rong Xiuyun was startled by the sudden increase in the volume of the phone and subconsciously moved the phone further away from her ear. "I'm not deaf yet, why are you suddenly so loud?"

Everyone in the room was also shocked by Xue Bo's sudden change. From what these two art world bosses said on the phone, it seemed to be related to that student Shen Shu? !

"Are you sure your name is Shen Shu?" After Xue Bo calmed down, he wondered if it was a homonym.

"Yes, I'm from Nanshiqi County. I'll text you the exact address."

Seeing that the students in the room had almost warmed up their voices, Rong Xiuyun prepared to go in and give them some guidance.

Just before she pressed the hang-up button, her fingers paused and she heard a voice from the other end of the line.

"Our schoolmate Shen Shu is also from Nanshiqi County. He was admitted as the provincial champion in the high school entrance examination."

The person who spoke was a leader of Zhengzhou Foreign Languages ​​School. He had been waiting for the judges to announce the selection results. When he heard about Shen Shu, he interrupted.

When the high school entrance examination results were released, in order to recruit the provincial top scorer, their entire leadership team went to the banner and county, so they were very clear about Shen Shu's family situation.

After Xue Bo heard what the school leader said, his eyes widened. How could this be such a coincidence?!

Originally, according to his selfish desire to recruit a disciple, he would most likely give the only spot in the instrumental group to Lu Bai, who had a better talent for piano playing. But if Shen Shu was the student that his wife Rong Xiuyun had always been thinking about, then he really had no choice.

"That kid actually got into Zhengzhou Foreign Languages ​​College."

Rong Xiuyun murmured in shock, and when she came to her senses, she quickly asked her husband what had happened.

Xue Bo recounted the details of the selection of the National Day performance program and also talked about the difficult choices they were facing now.

"Old man, I think you are getting old and confused. Let me give you an idea."
