Xu Kuncai pouted. “It's not the same: performing on-stage and by the roadside.”
Su Yang looked at him and argued, “How is it not the same? What do you really like: singing or the stage?”
“Singing, of course!” Xu Kuncai said without a second thought.
“That's my point! So, the stage doesn't matter,” said Su Yang.
Xu Kuncai argued, “Of course, it matters! I like singing, but I want more people to listen to my voice!”
“Are you saying that no one will listen to you if you sing by the roadside?” Su Yang asked.
“Of course…” Xu Kincai instinctively replied, but when the words escaped his mouth, he was frozen.
His eyes widened in shock when he got a closer look at Su Yang. “Huh?! Aren't you…Aren't you the guy who sang in front of the campus entrance? The guy who went viral because of the busking?!”
He was extremely excited after he recognized Su Yang. He grabbed Su Yang's hand and shook it repeatedly. “I really liked your song, mate!”
Su Yang smiled and subtly but awkwardly pulled his hand away. “Take me for an example. No matter where you sing, as long as you are good, it won't stop people from liking your voice.”
He added, “I know there might be a little conflict between you two, but he's already apologized, so why don't we let this go?'
Xu Kuncai was carried away by his own excitement. He waved and said, “Of course, it's fine! It's nothing serious anyway. By the way, can you teach me how to sing? I really like your song, mate!”
Maybe because Su Yang's [Halo Ally] was in effect, or maybe either the [Verbal Canon] ability or the talent [Charms of Talking] were in play, Xu Kuncai had completely forgotten about Li Xianhe.
Su Yang talked to him about singing techniques while signaling Li Xianhe to leave first.
Li Xianhe was stunned before he slightly bowed at Su Yang as a sign of grat.i.tude. He then quickly left the little garden.
After Li Xianhe went off, Su Yang played along with Xu Kuncai and talked to him about singing techniques for more than 10 minutes. In the end, after Xu Kuncai insisted on adding him on WeChat, Su Yang finally got rid of the vexing guy.
After the long talk with him, Su Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and headed out of the little garden.
Right after he walked out of the Faculty of Economy Management, he saw a 190 cm tall bearded guy waiting for him. It was Li Xianhe.
Li Xianhe ran up to Su Yang and said sincerely in his slightly rough voice, “Thank you for your help.” A big bearded hunk who was soft and polite—what a combination!
Su Yang waved at him. “It's nothing. You don't need to thank me.”
The reason why he helped Li Xianhe was his mission.
Li Xianhe said, “Maybe it's nothing to you, but it was a big problem for me. He has been hara.s.sing me for days now and insisted that I tripped him to make him fail the audition. He wanted me to explain it to the judges. I really did nothing that day. He walked into me and fell on his own.”
Su Yang did not know what really happened that day, but judging from Xu Kuncai's irredeemable voice, he believed that even if Li Xianhe wanted to sabotage someone else's audition, it would not have been Xu Kuncai.
He said without concern, “It's fine now. I've talked him out of this, so he won't be bothering you now.”
Li Xianhe bowed repeatedly and said, “Thank you very much!” He then said, “Mate, can I add you on WeChat? If you need any help in the future, just call me. I'll do whatever I can to repay you.”
Since Su Yang had already added Xu Kuncai, he might as well add Li Xianhe. He took his phone out and added the bearded hunk on WeChat.
The two of them chatted for a while before they parted.
Su Yang went back to Chen Xiaoyun, and along the way, he called the system up and completed the mission.
[High Random Mission Completed: Rating: B-. Random Points +3]
'What? Only B? And it's a B-? I only got three Random Points?! Did I do something wrong?'
Su Yang did not find any problem in his method of handling the situation. In the end, Xu Kuncai happily agreed to busk at the campus entrance at night whereas Li Xianhe, the bearded hunk, was grateful for his help.
'Did I miss something out? Or are they someone special or are there some special requirements that I didn't know about?'
Su Yang failed to come up with an answer despite pondering the question. However, since the mission was completed, it could not be repeated anymore.
With lingering doubts, he reached the other faculty, the Faculty of Watercraft.
Su Yang saw Chen Xiaoyun stop one of the students with a wide smile, but the student waved and walked past her. She smiled bitterly and stopped for a moment but did not give up. She put on a smile again and searched for the next student.
The next student she held up finally stopped. Chen Xiaoyun quickly handed over a flyer and promoted the app to him.
Despite watching from afar, Su Yang was able to tell the flyer was drenched in sweat and had started to wrinkle.
A moment later, the student nodded and scanned the QR code with his phone. Chen Xiaoyun happily went over to the bag of gifts that she had put under the tree. She took one and gave it to the student.
After the student left, Su Yang walked up to her and asked, “Tired?”
Chen Xiaoyun shook her head. “Mr. Su! No, I'm okay.”
“I'm done with my business. Let me help.”
He grabbed the bag of gifts. With the flyers in hand and the halo activated, he stood beside Chen Xiaoyun and started promoting.
Even though Su Yang had the [Verbal Canon] and the [Charms of Talking] before this, he was not able to put them to use because no one even stopped to listen to him.
However, after he activated the [Ally Halo], everyone within a 20-meter radius showed him kindness. The students who were not in a hurry could not resist his smile and stopped to listen to what he had to say.
80% of the students who stopped were hooked by Su Yang's words while those who had the slightest idea of getting a part-time job would download the app, verify their names, and give it a try.
After all, Su Yang had the [Verbal Canon] and the [Charms of Talking], the words that came out from his mouth felt holistic and persuasive.
With all three effects in play, more and more students stopped and listened to him, hence increasing the downloads of the app.
This time around, he stayed close to Chen Xiaoyun so that she was able to see how he worked.
She was concentrating on promoting at first, but when she unconsciously noticed how Su Yang stopped the students, she was captivated by his performance.
Su Yang was able to stop almost everyone, be it a girl or a boy, a handsome one or a beautiful one, everyone willingly stopped to listen to him promote the app.
Among those who stopped, more than half of them downloaded the app and the number of gifts in his bag decreased quickly.
There were some students who literally sprinted past Su Yang. Otherwise, the bag of gifts would already be empty.
Chen Xiaoyun might be a fresh grad, but she had six months of working experience and she had also done some part-time jobs during her university days.
She had once received a similar job of giving out flyers, but she realized she was not as effective as Su Yang when it came to promoting the app.
'He is so good that it's terrifying…Maybe this is why he is the boss and I'm the employee…'
Chen Xiaoyun s.p.a.ced out as she watched Su Yang stop the students one after another and pa.s.sionately introduced them to the app.
