Mrs. Han said disdainfully, "Even if she comes, what can she do? A sale of 508 units compared to 58,000, that’s a hundredfold difference. Could she possibly turn the tides?"
Despite such remarks, the greater the disdain, the higher everyone’s expectations of Ye Shu became. When they saw Ye Shu’s figure appear from the entrance, they couldn’t help but burst into applause, and the fervor of their clapping even exceeded that of when Han Ruixin and Tang Jingrong had just signed the contract!
Bai Yueru, seeing Ye Shu’s confident strides, inexplicably believed that Ye Shu must have a way to stem the tide!
While Han Ruixin, hearing the enthusiastic applause below, felt a sudden surge of unease.
As the applause lingered, a familiar melody graced everyone’s ears like the sound of nature itself, "Little swallow, clothed in colorful dress, comes here every spring..."
As soon as Ye Shu entered, she began singing, immediately quieting the room!
Everyone was baffled. Wasn’t she supposed to bring good news, to stem the tide and boldly capture the position of Class Leader? Why start singing upon arrival? Had she gone mad because she couldn’t produce favorable results?
Even Bai Yueru found it a bit odd. Ye Shu’s attire today was completely out of sync with the current era!
She had her hair tied into braids on either side of her head, a blue scarf wrapped around her neck, and wore a blue-and-white checkered Brigitte dress. The belt in the middle of the dress fluttered in the wind as she moved forward.
Trailing behind her was Sun Nanjue, dressed in blue overalls, a sweaty towel hanging around his neck, pushing a two-wheeled cart which bore a slogan calling for the overthrow of bullies and bad elements.
The room began to buzz with conversation about the scene before them, and even the Old Lady grew impatient, "Yueru, what on earth is she doing? Get Ye Shu and her accomplices out of here right now!"
"Mom, don’t rush, I’ll go ask her what she’s doing." Bai Yueru also felt embarrassed, not understanding what on earth Ye Shu and her group were up to.
Then, suddenly, they heard Tang Jingrong call out, "Wait, don’t disturb them!"
The reason Tang Jingrong reacted this way was that, as soon as Ye Shu started singing upon her entrance, his father had abruptly grasped his arm tightly!
Because the performance wasn’t interrupted, Ye Shu was able to continue.
Pretending to look for directions, she stopped Sun Nanjue, "Comrade, could you tell me how to get to the cinema?"
Sun Nanjue gestured grandly, "Fifty meters to your left, then a right turn. Right, you’re going to watch ’Nurse’s Diary,’ aren’t you? I’ve heard the leading lady is gorgeous."
"No, I’m looking for someone who works at the cinema, thank you and goodbye." Ye Shu walked a few steps and then suddenly called out to Big Commander B, who had just made his entrance, "Hey, Jianguo!"
Big Commander B was dressed in a woolen Sun Yat-sen suit, two fountain pens proudly displayed in his right breast pocket as a sign of his status as a cultured and educated film projectionist.
When he heard Ye Shu’s call, he turned around and happily dashed over, "Gui Fen, what brings you here?"
Ye Shu smiled playfully and pulled out a stack of paper resembling currency from her pocket, "Here, these are the Food Tickets I’ve saved up. They belong to you now!"
"Gui Fen, I—" Big Commander B suddenly turned, knelt down, and choked up, "You shouldn’t be so kind to me; it’s impossible between us!"
At this point, none in the room could comprehend or guess what Ye Shu was up to. Why was she performing a stage play at such a moment?
But there was one person whose previously dull gaze began to change...
