230 The arrogance of Big Boss Han
The next day Han Zixin couldn’t go to school as his grandfather needed him more. So, it was only An Xiulan sitting at the desk with a bored look on her face. She was looking out of the window at a pair of sparrows when the teacher was teaching.
Thankfully, the class ended soon and she was free of the torture of studying without having her desk mate and best friend by her side.
As the teacher left the class, suddenly the school corridor was filled with several students peeking at the office wing where the principal and other clerical offices were located.
“Xiuxiu, ” Qiao Wei came as she wrapped an arm around An Xiulan’s neck. “Do you know who has come to the office?!!”
“Umm no?” An Xiulan said in a confused tone.
Qiao Wei groaned. “You are no fun! Yang Zi! You know goddess Yang Zi! The one who has the voice of a fairy? The one who has won hundreds of awards. Can’t you feel her godly aura?”.
Of course, An Xiulan knew about Yang Zi, the queen of the music industry. She was also one of the most beautiful women in the entertainment circle. Although she was thirty-five, she still looked as if she was in her mid-twenties. Every woman wanted to know what kind of skincare routine the goddess had but until this day, it was kept a secret.
There were many people who said that Goddess Yang Zi would still look the same when she would be ninety. Another group of people said Yang Zi was this young because she drank a drop of vampire blood, thus blessing her eternal youthfulness.
“Why is she in our school?” An Xiulan asked her friend.
“Do you know she married Mu Chen, the golden music producer?” Qiao Wei asked in a soft voice.
An Xiulan paused for a moment and then nodded her head. “Doesn’t producer Mu Chen has a daughter with his ex-wife and Goddess Yang Zi received a lot of backlashes when she announced her relationship with Mu Chen? People called her a gold digger because she loved a man ten years older than her and he also has a daughter with his ex wife.”
“Bingo, ” Qiao Wei reacted. “She is here for the admission of the same daughter. Don’t you know Jingyuan high is becoming a hub for celebrity kids?”
“Hah, that’s sad, ” An Xiulan sighed.
Qiao Wei pulled her cheek. “Don’t forget you are a celebrity too. Moreover, who doesn’t want their kid to study in a good school?”
An Xiulan nodded her head. “So, she is coming to our class?”
Qiao Wei snickered. “Do you think everyone is like they are in studies? Of course, not! I heard the girl is only fifteen and she got admitted to class A of Eleven grade. Can you imagine how smart she will be?”
An Xiulan looked surprised. “Wow, she is really smart. But is she smarter than my brothers?”
“Fine, ” Qiao Wei groaned. “Your one brother is the top scorer of Class A and another is the last scorer of class A but they both are good in studies. I think the girl is somewhere in the middle in the rank table. Anyways, who cares?”
An Xiulan shrugged.
“Why does Big Boss Han not come to school?” Qiao Wei asked.
“How will I know?” An Xiulan reacted.
“Aren’t you his best friend?” Qiao Wei asked. “If you don’t know, who will know?”
“You are right, ” An Xiulan said. “I should know. But when I came to school, I didn’t call him. When he didn’t come to morning practice, I thought he was just late. When he didn’t come to first class, I realised he was absent. And he never misses school unless it’s something important. He always informs me that he is not going to school and then we both miss school together.”
She just realised that if he had not come to the school, something big might have happened. She wondered what big thing had happened that he didn’t even tell her. These days they couldn’t hang out much as he always stayed at school late for his practice for the singing contest. He had started taking vocal classes too. For that, he had to wake up early every day. Her best friend was really a very hard-working and talented boy.
Although he wasn’t good at studies, he had a lot of other talents. And that’s what mattered the most to him. Who said children who weren’t good with studies can’t be successful? You don’t need top grades but talent and a lot of hard work to reach the top of the success ladder.
“Do you hear that?” Song Ci and Mona came with the latest dose of gossip. “The students of the music department met with Goddess Yang Zi. And teacher Yang Mei is acquainted with the Goddess. They are so lucky. Big Boss Han is really unlucky. He missed school when a big thing happened.”
“What’s so big about meeting her?” An Xiulan asked her friends as they walked out of the class to fill their water bottles. “I mean, she is a pretty big name in the music industry. But isn’t she just a human like all of us? If Han Zixin didn’t get to meet her, it’s fine. It’s not like he is her fan or something.”
The girls gasped at her claim. “Are you sayi big boss Han is not Goddess Yang Zi’s fan?”
“No, ” An Xiulan replied. “Do you know the famous pop album that she released last year?”
The girls nodded their heads. “I played the viral single of her album last time at my birthday party to dance but he changed the song saying he didn’t like this singer. He said he doesn’t like her octave voice. It hurts his ear.”
“Wow, ” The girls were rendered speechless by the arrogance of Big Boss Han. Just how could someone not like Yang Zi? It was just out of this world. They just couldn’t understand it.
