Holy Crap! My Cat is Actually a Female CEO?!

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Debut! Explosive Popularity

"That folk dance just now was truly magnificent!"

"I bet none of you wanted it to end, right?"

"But don’t worry, the next performance is even more exciting!"

The female host held the microphone, speaking to the audience below with a radiant smile.

"Speaking of the next act... maybe Yang Xiaohua is up next?"

The male host deliberately chimed in, "Hey, Sihan, speaking of our next performer, this person has a bit of a connection with you!"

"Huh?"

"What kind of connection?"

the female host asked.

"Well... you know the person coming on stage next, and the audience should be familiar with him too!"

"Can you guess who it is?"

Instead of answering directly, the male host deliberately built up the suspense.

The female host played along, pretending not to know, and the two of them bantered back and forth.

Their playful exchange certainly piqued the audience’s interest.

In an instant, everyone was guessing who the next performer could be.

"Ugh... I can’t guess!"

"Stop building the suspense! Just tell me, tell all our friends in the audience!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you!"

"Our next performer is an outstanding graduate from Financial Management Class 1 and the handsome heartthrob known as the Campus Beau of Modu University of Finance and Economics—Senior Brother Gu Yizhou!"

The male host said with a slight smile.

"Whoa~"

"It’s Senior Brother Gu Yizhou!"

"It’s actually the Campus Beau!"

"No wonder he said there was a connection with the Campus Belle!"

"There really is a connection! One’s the Campus Belle, the other’s the Campus Beau, even if they’re not from the same year!"

...

The moment the host finished speaking, a landslide of applause, cheers, and screams from countless female students erupted from below the stage.

It was easy to imagine just how popular Gu Yizhou was at Modu University of Finance and Economics.

"Wow, I can’t believe it’s actually Senior Brother Gu Yizhou!"

The female host’s eyes lit up as she spoke.

"Haha, it seems everyone really likes Senior Brother Gu!"

"Alright, enough chitchat!"

"Now, please give your warmest round of applause to welcome the Campus Beau of Modu University of Finance and Economics’ Financial Management Class 1, Senior Brother Gu Yizhou, to the stage for a solo song!"

After speaking, the hosts stepped off the stage.

CLICK.

The stage lights instantly went dark.

"Yizhou, it’s your turn to go on!"

Backstage, the class monitor, Lan Yuting, said to Gu Yizhou.

"Okay!"

Gu Yizhou nodded. Wasting no time, he stood and headed for the stage, passing through the crowd and walking with unhurried composure to the center.

Standing before the microphone, Gu Yizhou lifted his head and scanned the audience, his gaze passing over the crowd.

’To be honest, there really are a lot of people here tonight!’

Suddenly!

He froze for a moment.

’She... Why is she here?’

Gu Yizhou wondered to himself.

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Gu Yizhou composed himself. He retracted his gaze and spoke with a calm expression, "Hello, everyone. I’m Gu Yizhou from the senior year’s Financial Management Class 1. I’m very happy to be able to stand on this stage today and represent my class."

His voice was gentle and magnetic, like a spring breeze brushing past the ears of everyone present.

"Whoa!!"

"Senior Brother Yizhou’s voice is so warm!!"

"AHHH!!!"

"Senior Brother Gu Yizhou is so handsome!"

"Damn... I’m a guy, but I have to admit, he’s seriously handsome!"

"He’s handsome, a top student, and most importantly, his voice is so warm and gentle!"

"Holy shit!"

"Senior Brother Gu is mine! Nobody is allowed to fight me for him!"

...

A girl in the audience with a face full of acne, weighing around 200 pounds, suddenly shouted excitedly!

Her voice was so loud that the girls around her couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

"Uh..."

Gu Yizhou heard the girl’s shout as well. He didn’t seem to mind, just giving an awkward but polite smile. "Um... you’ve probably never heard the next song before. Uh... you could call it an original."

As soon as Gu Yizhou said this, the entire audience exploded.

"Whoa~"

"It’s actually an original song!"

"I never knew Senior Brother Gu could write songs!"

"Yeah, he’s handsome, talented, and he can even write songs. That’s just too amazing!"

"Senior Brother Yizhou’s girlfriend must be so happy!!"

"SOB SOB SOB..."

"Senior Brother Gu, I love you!!"

"Senior Brother Yizhou, I want to have your babies!!!"

Many of the girls stared at the incredibly handsome Gu Yizhou on stage with stars in their eyes, speaking with immense excitement.

The girl’s voice was very loud, and for a moment, everyone’s gaze involuntarily gathered on her.

The university leaders and various business bigwigs sitting in the front rows heard it too.

However, they weren’t angry or anything of the sort. Instead, they watched the scene unfold with amused smiles.

Modu University of Finance and Economics was a place that valued freedom and democracy. Besides, they were all adults; this sort of thing was perfectly normal.

"Er... haha..."

"Principal Li, it seems this student, Gu Yizhou, is very popular!"

One of the VIPs said to Li Lingming with a smile.

"Yes... I know of this student, Gu Yizhou. He is indeed a rather outstanding young man!"

Li Lingming smiled.

"Indeed. Speaking of which, Gu Tongxue is also an employee of your Tidal Group!"

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

"Yes. This year, the Tidal Group only hired one recent graduate from Modu University of Finance and Economics, and that person was Gu Tongxue."

"Tsk, to think Gu Tongxue and I are colleagues!"

"In that case, I’ll have to pay close attention to my new colleague’s performance, hahaha..."

...

While the audience was abuzz with discussion, Gu Yizhou began his preparations.

In truth, there wasn’t much to prepare.

He just had the backstage staff help move a piano onto the stage.

That’s right!

Because it was an original song with no backing track, Gu Yizhou was preparing to sing and play the piano himself.

And the song he was preparing to perform was a rather poignant love song from his past life on Earth—"Mohe Dance Hall"!

This song was one of his old favorites.

Moreover, this song didn’t exist in this time and space, so he didn’t have to worry about copyright issues or accidentally performing an existing song.

The main reason Gu Yizhou chose to sing this song was because of the love story behind it.

When he had first heard this song, he initially thought it was just okay. But after he learned the story behind it, listening to it again while considering the lyrics gave it a completely different feeling.

’Perhaps it’s because I’ve never had something like that, or because I’m lonely inside, that I yearn for this kind of love story!’

Back then, this song was on his favorites playlist, the kind he would listen to on repeat.
