70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman
Chapter 407: Preparations for the New Year’s Day Festival
The dean came by after waiting for more than half a month and took the improved equipment that Xu Mumu had modified.
Xu Mumu eagerly awaited the news, and the dean didn’t keep her waiting long; the reward came in soon. The equipment she improved was extremely practical, and the top management paid a high price to buy it outright.
Xu Mumu didn’t mind. Her goal was simply to improve those devices, and now with a large sum credited to her account, she was extremely happy.
Besides the money, Xu Mumu also received a pile of certificates, which was an expected outcome.
Following that, she was also asked to write an application to join the party, with someone offering to refer her.
Xu Mumu raised her eyebrows and agreed right away. This was beneficial for her, so why not?
After writing the party application, Xu Mumu handed it to the dean, and there was nothing more left for her to handle.
However, the dean wanted to hold a recognition ceremony for her, which Xu Mumu declined. She wanted to keep a low profile for now because people would definitely target her for achieving such things, so it was better to be discreet.
With a big addition to her personal savings again, Xu Mumu was in an excellent mood.
New Year’s Day was approaching quickly. Jiang Zhenghao was organizing people to participate in the New Year’s event, arranging for two performances from the class.
However, in this era, there weren’t many with talents. Jiang Zhenghao was at a loss and directly arranged one program as a class choir singing red songs.
As for the other program, he had no idea, so he decided to ask Xu Mumu for help.
"Mumu, do you have any talents? Hurry up and support the class activities," Jiang Zhenghao said helplessly to Xu Mumu. After a few interactions, the group had become familiar with each other.
"Isn’t there already a choir?" Xu Mumu replied helplessly. It seemed like she didn’t have any talents. In her past life, she had only learned a bit of the basics in arts and literature, and she didn’t think they were worth showcasing. If she had to say what she was best at, it was fighting zombies, but unfortunately, there were no zombies for her to fight here.
"Besides the choir, our class needs to submit another program." Jiang Zhenghao’s head was throbbing. He just couldn’t understand why they had to submit two performances. The counselor was definitely setting them up for failure.
"Didn’t anyone volunteer?" asked Xu Mumu, raising an eyebrow while recalling various programs in her mind. She wasn’t good at performing on stage.
"No one did. I’m just hoping you can give me an idea," Jiang Zhenghao said seriously, scratching his head a bit embarrassed.
"How about I write a sketch for you, and you find two boys to perform a comedic dialogue?" Xu Mumu’s eyes lit up, recalling the comedic dialogues she had seen in her past life, which would surely have a great effect.
"A comedic dialogue, sure! Write it up so I can take a look." Jiang Zhenghao agreed, having no other ideas. Primarily, there weren’t many participants. If Mumu’s idea was good, he would join in himself and find someone from the dorm to complete the act.
Xu Mumu smiled and nodded, spending an afternoon to write the script and handed it to Jiang Zhenghao after school.
What Xu Mumu wrote were some of the funny sketches she remembered from her past life, and if performed on stage, the effect should be pretty good.
Jiang Zhenghao took the script and started reading it, laughing so hard as he read that he looked like a fool.
"Mumu, your script is hilarious!" Jiang Zhenghao couldn’t stop smiling.
"Check if anything needs to be modified and start rehearsing." Xu Mumu said with a light smile.
"No problem, I’ll take it and find someone to rehearse." Jiang Zhenghao said with a grin, seeming to already see their program shining at the New Year’s celebration.
After sending off Jiang Zhenghao, Xu Mumu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly packed her things to find Yin Yang.
Since Yin Yang hadn’t come to find her, there had to be a reason. When Xu Mumu arrived, the people in his department were also discussing what to perform for the New Year’s celebration.
"I don’t have any talents and don’t plan to perform." Yin Yang said impatiently to the girl in front of him. He didn’t want to perform on stage at all, and this girl was adamant about getting him to join their play. With the time spent rehearsing, he’d rather read more books. He had already completed his sophomore courses and was self-studying his junior ones. He planned to apply for graduation once he finished this semester.
"Even if you don’t have any talents, it’s fine. Just read a few lines. It’s all for the class’s honor. Yin Yang, why don’t you participate?" Qin Ru looked at Yin Yang in a grievance. She had saved the male protagonist role for him, yet he didn’t appreciate it at all. Although she had her intentions, it was ultimately for the class.
"I don’t have time." Yin Yang said flatly.
At that moment, Xu Mumu arrived outside the classroom, and Yin Yang saw her.
"I have other matters." Yin Yang said calmly, then walked outside to stand beside Xu Mumu.
"That girl was looking for you," Xu Mumu said to Yin Yang, feeling slightly jealous. The girl was quite pretty and taller than her.
"She’s our class’s entertainment committee member, wanting me to join their play. I declined. Are you jealous?" Yin Yang said gently. Ever since being with Xu Mumu, he had been very cautious with his interactions with other girls, keeping a respectful distance.
"Is your class also preparing for the New Year’s celebration activities?" Xu Mumu exhaled secretly, refusing to admit she was jealous.
"Yes. Have you joined any?" Yin Yang asked warmly.
"We have two programs: a class choir and a comedic dialogue script I wrote for them," Xu Mumu said with a smile.
Inside the classroom, Qin Ru watched the two, her eyes flashing with jealousy. Ever since she learned that Yin Yang was taken, by none other than Xu Mumu, she had been envious, but she dared not reveal her feelings.
Xu Mumu was quite well-known at the school, especially after her equipment modification, which not only won awards but also earned her national recognition during her time in university. Such achievements were truly honorable, and her resume was definitely impressive.
At school, Yin Yang was always warm to everyone, but beneath that warmth, he maintained distance. Only with Xu Mumu did his gentleness truly come from the heart.
Whenever girls saw how well Yin Yang treated Xu Mumu, many wished they could directly replace her.
"I don’t know what my class is planning, and I’m not going to participate," Yin Yang said with a gentle smile, taking Xu Mumu’s backpack.
"Hmm, you still have to study."
"Let’s go to the guidance office first." Yin Yang said, leading Xu Mumu to the guidance office.
"What for?"
"To submit an application for early graduation." Yin Yang secretly squeezed Xu Mumu’s hand, taking advantage of the few people around to be a bit bold.
The two arrived at the guidance office, where the teachers hadn’t finished work yet.
