“Why are you looking for me?”
“It’s like this. We have a performance today. One of my students suddenly fell ill and can’t come. I don’t have a suitable candidate, so I wanted you to come and help me,” Guo Rui said politely.
“But don’t worry. I won’t have you come here for nothing. I can pay you a thousand dollars an hour. Do you think it’s okay?”
“I don’t care about the money. I’ll come look for you now. Place an order.”
To Lin Yi, money didn’t matter. A five-star rating was the most important thing.
“You don’t earn as much as this, do you?”
“It’s okay. We’re all acquaintances. I can’t make any more money from you.”
“Then how do I place the order? Can you get it if I place the order here?” Guo Rui said with a smile.
This little teacher sure had a sweet mouth.
“Where are you? I’ll come find you,” Lin Yi said. “Place the order face-to-face so I can ensure I get it.”
“I’m at school. Can you come over?” Guo Rui asked politely.
“Sure, wait for me at the school gate in twenty minutes.” Lin Yi said.
“Okay, thanks for your hard work.”
…
At the entrance of the Zhonghai Drama Academy.
Due to the uniqueness of the school, there were a lot of students coming and going.
As one of the top three drama schools in the country, the Zhonghai Drama Academy was definitely the place where handsome men and beautiful women gathered.
If you saw a very good-looking girl at the school gate today, then a few years later, this person might just be one of the top female stars in the country.
In a school like the Zhonghai Drama Academy, both male and female students were very good-looking, which led to a large number of luxury cars parked here every day.
Some were here to pick up their girlfriends, some were here to pick up their boyfriends, and some were even here to pick up their godsons.
In short, all kinds of people had gathered here.
Guo Rui stood at the gate. The students who came in and out all greeted her, and Guo Rui would respond to them one by one.
Guo Rui’s dress was solemn and formal. Although she was old, she was still able to wear her black dress easily. She looked very young with her nude stockings and black high heels.
“Nice to meet you, Teacher Guo.”
Just as Guo Rui was waiting for Lin Yi, a tall girl walked beside her.
The girl who spoke was called Wang Yixuan. She was Guo Rui’s favorite student.
The two of them were very close. When there was no one around, she would call her sister, and they were much closer than the average student and teacher.
She was also one of the two pianists in the orchestra.
“Okay.” Guo Rui nodded. “It’s almost time. Hurry up and get ready.”
“Teacher, Jingjing can’t come. It’ll be hard for me to support the whole concert by myself,” Wang Yixuan said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. I’ve found a partner who will pretend to be a student of our school. It won’t be a problem.”
“Partner? Is his skill level okay?”
Wang Yixuan was a little worried.
Since he had to pretend to be a student, his age had to be similar to hers.
However, among his peers, his and Jingjing’s skill level were both top-notch. Even on a national level, they were ranked among the very top.
So, could the teacher really get someone to match their level?
If there was a gap between their level, it would definitely affect the performance.
“Of course.” Guo Rui smiled and said, “When have I ever lied to you?”
“Teacher, where did you find this person?” Wang Yixuan asked curiously.
“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you. I won’t tell you. I’ll just keep you in suspense.”
“Teacher, just tell me,” Yixuan pulled on Guo Rui’s arm and said coquettishly.
“You little girl, I really have to hand it to you.” Guo Rui smiled. “I found you a partner from Meituan’s errand app.”
Yixuan’s expression froze for a moment, thinking that she’d misheard.
“Teacher, what did you say? You found him on Meituan?”
“That’s right, I found him on Meituan.”
Guo Rui didn’t explain much about Lin Yi’s situation, preparing to surprise the little girl.
She wanted to show her that there was always someone better out there.
“Teacher, you’re taking too much risk. You can’t do this no matter how desperate you are.”
“You guys just spend too much time in the ivory tower, looking down on this and that every day,” Guo Rui lectured. “There are many powerful people in this world.”
“Alright.”
Since Guo Rui said so, Wang Yixuan couldn’t refute.
“Teacher, my boyfriend is driving me there. Why don’t we go together?”
“I won’t go with you. Someone will come pick me up later.”
Wang Yixuan chuckled. “Is brother-in-law coming to pick you up?”
“Your brother-in-law is on a business trip. He doesn’t have time to pick me up.”
Guo Rui’s words confirmed Lin Yi’s point once more.
Husbands of married women liked to go on business trips.
“Ya ya ya, there’s something going on here.” Wang Yixuan winked. “I’m starting to wonder who that person is.”
“Get out of the way, don’t be so rude,” Guo Rui said.
“Hehe, I’m not leaving.” Wang Yixuan looked Guo Rui up and down and said in a low voice.
“No wonder Teacher Guo is dressed so beautifully today. It turns out that there is an outsider coming to pick you up. I have to see who the mysterious person coming to pick you up is.”
“You little girl, you are getting more and more impudent with me.” Guo Rui deliberately said with a straight face.
“There is an orchestral performance today. Not only will there be foreign guests, but also the leaders of the major media companies. If I don’t dress up, won’t I be embarrassing to the school?”
“Teacher, I understand.” Wang Yixuan winked and said, “It’s my brother-in-law’s fault for always going on business trips.”
With that, Wang Yixuan skipped away and got into a Volkswagen sedan parked by the side of the road.
Guo Rui smiled and shook her head. “These kids nowadays don’t even know how to keep their mouths shut.”
“Oh, Teacher Guo, who are you waiting for here?”
Just as Wang Yixuan left, another voice came from beside Guo Rui.
The woman was about the same age as Guo Rui, but there was still a slight difference in her appearance and body.
The girl’s name was Xu Shuang, and she was Guo Rui’s colleague.
However, Guo Rui was a piano teacher, while Xu Shuang was in charge of the cello.
In the past, the two of them had a good relationship, but because Guo Rui had outstanding professional skills, she was promoted to a professor two years before Xu Shuang.
Since then, their relationship had become more delicate, and Xu Shuang could not swallow her anger.
Her standards were not bad, so why was Guo Rui promoted to a professor two years earlier than her?
“I’m waiting for someone,” Guo Rui answered calmly.
“Is it an errand boy?”
Guo Rui frowned slightly. “How do you know?”
“I heard you talking to Yixuan just now.”
Xu Shuang crossed her arms in front of her chest and gloated.
“No wonder you were promoted to a professor two years before me. Your methods are really extraordinary. You actually found an errand boy to take the job. This is really unexpected.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. I know what to do.”
“I naturally don’t care about Teacher Guo’s matters,” Xu Shuang said.
“We just happened to run into each other. I was thinking of bringing you there. My husband just bought a Range Rover. It’s very comfortable to sit in.”
“No need. I have a car too. We can go there by ourselves in a while,” Guo Rui said.
“But won’t it be a domestic car? I was thinking of letting you sit in an imported car so that you can experience it.”
“Thank you for your good intentions, tTacher Xu.”
Xu Shuang was about to say something when she heard a series of shouts.
“Oh my God, look, it’s a supercar!”
“What brand is that? I don’t think I’ve seen it before. Is it as good as a Lamborghini?” A long-haired girl said.
“Forget it. This car is called the Konigsegg Rs. It sells for 30 million in China. In front of this car, a Lamborghini is just a younger brother. It can’t compete at all.”
“No way, is this car that expensive? There are only a few of them in China.”
“Which girl is in it? She’s so lucky. Could it be the school beauty, Zhao Xuemo?”
“It’s possible. No one but the school beauty Zhao is worthy of such a car.”
Just as everyone was discussing, Lin Yi’s Koenigsegg stopped at the school gate.
The window rolled down, and Lin Yi turned to Guo Rui.
“Get in.”
