Chapter 286 Self-Discovery Performance Art
squeak!
Hu He's voice was shrill, like a chicken screaming with its neck stepped on; even the tone had changed.
"Who...who did you just say?"
"Jiang Baizhi?! Could it be the Jiang Baizhi I'm thinking of??"
Jiang Bai nodded, his expression calm:
"It's Jiang Baizhi, the one who sang 'Love You' at the freshman welcome party."
Holy crap!!
Upon hearing this, Hu He was stunned, his whole body trembling:
"That phenomenal girl who scored 1995 points on The Voice of China? That Jiang Baizhi who made the entire internet kneel down in admiration when she sang 'I Love You, China'?!"
"She's your sister?!?!"
Jiang Bai patiently answered again:
"Yes, she is my younger sister."
"I told her about the charity sale during the school sports meet, and she was quite interested. She said she wanted to come and cheer on her brother and do her part."
Holy crap!!!
"Jiang Bai! You're really my brother!!"
Hu He was so excited his face turned red. He grabbed Jiang Bai's shoulder, spitting as he spoke:
"Do you even know how much buzz your sister Jiang Baizhi is generating right now?"
"She's the national goddess, even my parents share her photos on WeChat Moments every day!"
Hu He paced frantically in the classroom, his whole being as excited as if he were on drugs:
"This is insane! The whole school is going crazy!"
"I was worried about what kind of program our arts department should put on for this donation stage, since they all brought their own funding back with them."
"But if Jiang Baizhi could come... Holy crap! Who would care about upperclassmen then?! Wouldn't all the male students in the school have to donate their entire savings?!"
Hu He suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Jiang Bai, his eyes filled with fanatical devotion, as if to say, "You are the savior."
"Jiang Bai, no, Brother Jiang!"
On behalf of the entire Arts Department and all the teachers and students of the school, I thank you!
"You're not just signing up for a program, you're giving a stack of cash to the children in the mountains!"
"Calm down, Minister Hu."
Jiang Bai's cold voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over Hu He's head.
"Keep a low profile."
"My sister is a rather reserved person and doesn't want to be too flashy."
The main reason is that I'm afraid of being surrounded by too many people while changing clothes!
Hu He nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice:
"Yes, yes, yes! Even goddesses are low-key!"
"I understand, I understand! So... the song request group you just signed up for..."
"I have to do that too."
Jiang Bai said firmly, "I'm not only kind-hearted, I also love to work."
"Besides, I'm very familiar with the broadcasting room job."
"No problem! I'll reserve the position of head of the song request team for you!"
.......
Jiang Bai stepped out of the lecture hall, breathing in the somewhat hot air outside, and the rough-and-tumble man inside him finally couldn't help but let out a strange, snarling laugh.
"Hey Boss, look at this, wasn't my maneuver solid?"
"The broadcasting room is my territory, and the charity auction stage is my show."
"Then I'll use these two things to swagger around the school. Who the hell would suspect that it's actually the same person putting on a two-person act?"
[Ding! Host, although your ability to find excuses has reached its maximum level, and the broadcasting room is indeed more 'private' than the men's restroom, please note that 'not appearing in the same frame' is still a logical flaw. Those fans and roommates aren't pushovers; missing them once is a coincidence, but not seeing them for three days is a paranormal event.]
"It's definitely difficult to get them all in the same frame, but I've come up with a way to lower my roommates' guard!"
Jiang Bai stroked his chin, a sinister smile creeping across his lips:
"Master, listen to my thoughts."
"At the school sports meet, I will first run a lap around the track as 'Jiang Baizhi,' carrying two bottles of premium mineral water."
"I ask everyone I meet, 'Senior, have you seen my brother Jiang Bai? He has a match later, and I'd like to bring him some water.'"
"After all the boys in the school were completely charmed by that 'senior,' I immediately slipped into the broadcasting room and changed back into my 'Jiang Bai' outfit."
He ran out again, sweating profusely, and asked people on the roadside, "Hey buddy, have you seen my sister? I heard she came to bring me water, but I've been looking for her for ages!"
Jiang Bai became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Tell me, in this situation where everyone is helping to find the other person, who would be so foolish as to suspect that these two people are actually the same person?"
"They'll just think, 'Oh dear, this brother and sister are so pitiful, how come they always miss each other so perfectly!'"
[Host, when it comes to 'killing someone by destroying their spirit' and 'manipulating people's hearts,' this system declares you the strongest.]
This kind of "finding oneself" performance art can indeed physically improve the IQ of the entire school!
"That's what they call 'the darkest place is under the lamp'!"
Jiang Bai boasted, "I could act out this kind of scene eight times a day!"
"I contacted her in the morning, and she contacted me in the afternoon. We 'arranged' to meet at the cafeteria at noon, but one of us was queuing to buy braised pork, and the other was picking up plum juice at the back door."
"If this kind of 'regret' happens a few more times, Jiang Bai and Jiang Baizhi's independent personalities will be welded into their minds!"
"At that time, whether or not they appear in the same frame, if we can come up with a perfect solution, that would be the icing on the cake."
"If we can't be in the same frame, at least we won't arouse too much suspicion."
With the issue of his identity being exposed reduced, Jiang Bai's mood instantly brightened.
But then, another real problem arose:
Items for charity sale.
Rivals in fundraising.
Not only are there hard-working students from each class, but also a group of celebrity seniors who bring their own fan base back to school.
"Although the fundraising from the stage performance is the main source of income, the class charity sale booth can't be left empty."
Jiang Bai stroked his chin, his eyes gradually sharpening.
Since the task requires being among the top three in the charity sale, every penny is crucial.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and besides, with Jiang Baizhi's current popularity, this is hardly a mosquito's leg.
This is clearly an elephant's leg!
"What should we sell?"
Jiang Bai began to eliminate options in his mind.
"Selling grilled sausages? No way."
"Two yuan a stick, you work yourself to death grilling them all day, and you can only earn a few hundred yuan at most."
"I have to stay there all day and smell the cooking fumes. It's extremely inconvenient to find an excuse to leave and go back to the toilet."
"Selling handmade cookies?"
"The main problem is that you have to spend popularity points to buy the [Beginner Baking] skill and rent an oven, which is time-consuming and laborious."
"I have 12 points of stamina for throwing shot put, not for kneading dough."
"Pass".
"Selling flowers?"
"It's not Qixi Festival now. Selling roses at the school sports meet would take a lot of time, not to mention the market isn't that big. It won't work."
"What should we sell? Something that sells a lot and makes a lot of money..."
Just as Jiang Bai was so conflicted he wanted to tear his hair out, the system in his mind suddenly spoke up quietly.
[System's friendly suggestion: You could try selling those pairs of 'disposable stockings' you won in the previous draw. According to our system's big data analysis, the potential profit margin for these items is at least ten thousand times.]
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Jiang Bai's face darkened, and he roared inwardly:
"I was just joking before, you actually want me to sell used stockings?! I'd get arrested by the police!"
"Besides, didn't you say before that items produced by the system can't be bought and sold casually?"
[That applies to ordinary items. If the host sincerely wishes to contribute to 'charity,' this system may make an exception and grant you 'second-hand trading privileges.']
After all, even the money of a pervert... no, the money of a fanatical fan, is still money.
"Pah! I have my bottom line!"
Jiang Bai spat, but the system's interruption suddenly made him think of what to sell!
