Chapter 284 Arrangements by the Literature and Art Department
After class, Su Ze treated Jiang Bai like his own father, protecting him on both sides as they walked back to the dormitory.
"Brother-in-law, are you thirsty? Here's some freshly chilled Gatorade."
"Brother-in-law, are you tired? I have a massage device here, specially for massaging the back. Would you like to take it over to your sister?"
Jiang Bai glanced at him sideways:
"Su Ze, weren't you just challenging me to a duel? Why are you being so attentive now?"
Su Ze said solemnly:
"Nonsense! My feelings for you have always been the purest form of camaraderie!"
"Brother-in-law, just give me a hint: what is Bai Zhi planning to sell this time? Anything she's personally handled, I'll sell everything I own to get it!"
Jiang Bai's lips twitched:
"Sell what? How about selling my life?"
However, we're not in a rush to decide what to sell.
We need to figure out how he can get through the school sports meet safely!
Back in the dorm.
Today is the 8th, Sunday.
"The school sports meet is from the 13th to the 15th, a full three days."
Jiang Bai took out his phone to check the date of the school sports meet, counting on his fingers, his face growing darker with each count.
In three days, he will not only participate in shot put, high jump and 1,000 meters as a "macho man of Shanghai".
She was also to sit in the stands as a mascot, hailed as the "goddess of the internet."
They also have to operate their business at the charity sale booth.
This isn't just a matter of acting skills; it's about pushing the physical limits of human capability!
"Master, I need to discuss something with you."
Jiang Bai was extremely enthusiastic.
"Can I apply for a 'severe cold' buff for these three days?"
"The kind of script where he's bedridden and his sister Jiang Baizhi has to fight in his place?"
[Ding! The mission requirement is "Jiang Baizhi cheers for her brother." If you, as the brother, are just lying around in the dorm like a corpse, do you expect Jiang Baizhi to wave a little red flag at the air?]
[Furthermore, for the sake of logical coherence, it is recommended that the host arrange at least one instance of the siblings appearing together during the school sports meet.]
Otherwise, your roommates will eventually discover the supernatural fact that you two siblings don't speak on the same stage.
"In the same frame?!"
Jiang Bai was so shocked he almost jumped off his chair, his mind racing with rage:
"You didn't send me the 'Shadow Clone Technique,' nor did you create any clones. How am I supposed to appear in the same frame as someone else?"
"Can I teleport or fold spacetime?"
There's always a solution. If all else fails, try practicing "ambidextrous makeup," or push your "master-level makeup skills" to the limit—you might just be able to transform yourself in a second!
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this system that only knew how to dig holes.
Just as he was worrying about how to solve the problem, his phone suddenly rang.
It was the department he joined, the large group chat for the Arts and Literature Department.
Minister of Culture and Arts Hu He issued a notice:
[@All members, a meeting regarding the Arts and Culture Department's arrangements during the school sports meet will be held at 1:30 PM in classroom 302 of Building 1. Attendance is mandatory!]
A row of "Received" messages appeared below.
Jiang Bai stared at the announcement, his previously gloomy eyes suddenly flashing with a strange light!
"Oh yeah! How could I have forgotten about that!"
"The school sports meet is not only participated in by each class, but also maintained by various departments of the student council."
"As long as I take on enough tasks for the arts department, I can legitimately 'disappear' on the playground."
"One minute they say they're going over the procedures backstage, the next they say they're moving instruments. Who the hell would suspect me?"
As for having "Jiangbai" and "Jiangbaizhi" appear in the same frame...
Jiang Bai stroked his chin, his gaze gradually deepening:
"We need to think about this again in the meeting. Let's see if we can find someone to use as a scapegoat, or try to take advantage of blind spots!"
.......
1:30 PM, in the large lecture hall.
Sunlight streamed through the bright glass of the window, illuminating the layers of wooden tables and chairs.
All thirty members of the Literature and Art Department were present, and their hushed discussions hummed in the empty classroom.
Jiang Bai sat discreetly in the last row, his hoodie pulled down low, a pen twirling in his hand, like an invisible man ready to slip away at any moment.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet."
Minister Hu He walked onto the podium, turned on the projection screen, and tapped the microphone.
"This school sports meet coincides with the school's founding week, and I think everyone knows how high the scale of the event is."
"Our arts and literature department is the face of the school. We have a lot of work and heavy tasks, but it's also the easiest place to shine."
"Now, I will break down the four parts that the department is responsible for during the school sports meet."
Jiang Bai sat up straight, his ears perked up.
For him, this wasn't work; it was his "roadmap."
"Part One, the Broadcasting Team."
Hu He pointed to the track and field stadium plan on the PowerPoint presentation on the projection screen.
"From the opening ceremony entrance to the check-in for each event, and finally the awards ceremony, the entire process was coordinated by our department, the etiquette club, and the sports department."
"This part requires students with good voices, quick reactions, and good physical fitness."
Jiang Bai secretly shook his head; this wouldn't work.
They were almost completely exposed to the public eye, without even having time to change clothes.
"Part Two: Song Requests and Congratulatory Messages"
Hu He continued:
"During the breaks between competitions, we have a lot of free time, and we are responsible for collecting song requests and cheering messages from all the teachers and students in the school."
"Relevant personnel must remain in the broadcasting room to select and broadcast the announcements."
Jiang Bai's eyes lit up instantly.
The broadcasting room is great! It's usually a small, enclosed room at the top of the stands. It's not only air-conditioned, but most importantly, it's empty!
You go in and you're Jiang Bai, and you come out and you're Jiang Baizhi. This is simply a god-level transition point!
That's the perfect excuse for 'disappearing'!
"The third part is the highlight—the charity auction stage."
Mentioning this, Hu He's expression became extremely solemn, and he emphasized the key point:
"Those charity stalls outside the classroom are just small-scale operations."
"Our Arts and Culture Department is in charge of the 'Large Performance Fundraising Stage' in the center of the playground!"
"At that time, the school will invite several alumni who have graduated and are currently well-known in the entertainment industry to come back and help raise funds."
"Every penny of this money will eventually be donated to mountainous areas in the name of 'students of the Shanghai Theatre Academy'."
"Our department has to produce at least one program and also handle the coordination with these big names."
Part Four.......
Hu He, the head of the Arts and Literature Department, stood on the podium, passionately describing the grand blueprint for the school sports meet.
Jiang Bai, sitting in the audience, didn't hear a single word.
He was staring intently at the system panel, questioning the system.
A grand stage for performing arts? And they're even inviting celebrity alumni?
"Tongzi, in the mission you gave me, 'first place in the charity sale,' does that refer to this stage, or the stalls outside?"
