Chapter 133 - The Campus Singing Competition Semi-finals Begins!
The middle-aged man saidSu Yang answered the call with lingering doubts.
Li Xianhe’s slightly rough voice crackled through his phone, “Is this Su Yang?”
Su Yang could not help but think of Li Xianhe’s rugged looks that did not match his name and voice. He said, “Yeah, speaking.”
Li Xianhe sounded slightly shy. “I actually…uh…I got into the semi-finals of the campus singing competition and I’ve got two tickets to watch it this Friday. You can bring one of your friends along. I was wondering if you’d be interested or not.”
Su Yang instinctively wanted to reject him, but he quickly thought of Chu Xia. Since he stood her up the last time, he could use this chance to make it up to her.
With that in mind, he said, “Oh my, thank you very much! I’m actually interested.”
Delighted, Li Xianhe replied, “Great! I’m around Shanghai University. Name me a location and I’ll meet you there.”
Su Yang looked around the lecture hall. “I’ll meet you at the East gate of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Automation. I’m going there soon.”
While they were talking about Li Xianhe, more and more people streamed in. Soon, a middle-aged man and a young man sat in front of them.
“The competition is getting bigger. We are running low on manpower.”
“I know, right? We could really use an extra pair of hands. Given the liaising, promoting, and online marketing, we are really tight on manpower. Besides, during the finals, Han Yi and Lin Jia will attend as judges, so we are going to get a lot busier then. We need people to maintain order and settle the menial jobs.”
“Tell the student committee of the three universities to spare more manpower,” the middle-aged man said.
“I asked them for help, but the universities said we are the organizers and the committee has been busy lately, so they can’t spare any more students to help,” the young man awkwardly replied.
The middle-aged man got annoyed. “Those b*stards…”
The young man said softly, “It can’t be helped. We are using their resources to promote our own talents and prepare them for debut after all.”
The middle-aged man nodded and kept quiet.
A while later, the middle-aged man said, “Approach the intermediary companies or find part-timers. Try your best to settle the shortage of manpower in the cheapest way possible. We still need to focus on online marketing.”
“I understand.”
Su Yang actually noticed the two men when they sat down, and after they started talking, he knew what was going on.
‘They are the organizers of the competition, Time Recording Company. It seems like they are running short on manpower. I wonder if they need any part-timers to help. Hmm…Maybe I can pay a little more attention to this.’
