Richest Rag-picker

The arrival of the two famous hosts on stage sent the crowd into a frenzy. Not only that, but the following performance also had everyone going wild.

No one had expected the first act to be an incredibly popular young heartthrob performing a song.

News of the performances quickly spread through various channels, and people who heard about it began flooding into Yan University.

Before long, the entire field was packed shoulder-to-shoulder with people.

One performance, two performances, three performances passed. Finally, amidst the frenzied atmosphere, it was ten o’clock at night, and the gala was drawing to a close.

At this point, Teacher He and Nana took the stage once more. Looking down at the wild audience, Teacher He smiled and gestured for them to quiet down. "Haha, I’ve truly witnessed the passion of you Yan University students today."

Nana, standing beside him, immediately chimed in to agree.

"They sure are! Everyone is so incredibly passionate. But goodbyes are inevitable. Just like this year’s graduate students, who will be bidding farewell to their school after today. So, Teacher He, let’s now invite this year’s graduating class of master’s students to the stage for a commemorative photo."

After she finished speaking, Bai Menghan and the others in the front row all stood up and began walking toward the stage, their hearts filled with a deep sense of reluctance to leave.

Over thirty graduate students stood in the center of the stage. They were soon joined by their faculty advisors and the university president for a group photo, after which the president offered them some words of encouragement.

After the formalities were over, everyone prepared to leave. At that moment, however, Nana suddenly stopped Bai Menghan. A wide smile spread across her face as she spoke.

"Excuse me, could you stay for a moment? As a graduate student about to leave, is there anything you’d like to say to your alma mater?"

With that, Nana handed the microphone directly to Bai Menghan.

To everyone watching, it just looked like Nana had randomly picked a graduate to chat with. No one gave it a second thought.

Of course, Bai Menghan thought the same.

Taking the microphone, she appeared perfectly poised and graceful. She first greeted everyone, then spoke of her reluctance to leave, her well wishes for her alma mater, and her gratitude for the education she had received.

In short, her words allowed Teacher He and Nana on stage, and even the over one hundred thousand people in the audience, to appreciate Bai Menghan’s eloquence and high caliber of public speaking.

Moreover, people could even sense an air of authority about her.

This was, of course, a trait she had cultivated from her recent experience managing various corporate groups.

In truth, Bai Menghan herself wasn’t aware of it.

The moment Bai Menghan finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from below the stage.

Nana and Teacher He also couldn’t help but applaud enthusiastically.

After she had said her piece and the applause gradually faded, Bai Menghan smiled and nodded to the crowd. She then gave a nod to Teacher He and Nana and moved to hand the microphone back to Nana.

However, Nana didn’t take it. Instead, she kept her smile and continued asking questions.

"Ah, hearing you speak makes me a bit nostalgic for my own college days! Haha. Miss, you’ll be leaving campus tomorrow. I wonder, could I interview you for a moment? We could chat about your plans for the future after graduation. It might help give the underclassmen here a sense of direction."

Bai Menghan was taken aback, not expecting Nana to want to interview her further. However, she didn’t think too much of it and simply nodded.

Seeing her agree, Nana smiled and turned to the students in the audience. "Hehe, to all the underclassmen out there, I’m now giving the chance to ask a question to you! What’s the one question you’d most like to ask your senior here?"

As her words fell, the crowd went quiet for a moment. Then, it’s unclear who started it, but someone shouted out:

"I want to ask our senior if she has a boyfriend!"

The moment the question was out, the entire audience erupted in a good-natured roar of laughter.

On stage, however, Nana breathed an inward sigh of relief. ’Looks like everything’s going according to the script,’ she thought. ’Good.’

Raising her own microphone to her lips, she smiled and spoke to Bai Menghan.

"Haha, so, can you satisfy their curiosity on this one?"

Bai Menghan had clearly faced this type of question many times before, so she showed no signs of embarrassment. On the contrary, a sweet expression graced her features as her crimson lips parted to speak.

"I do. Not only that, but we’ll be getting married soon."

"Oh? You’re getting married? Haha, well I must be the first to congratulate you! But now I’m really curious, what kind of man could capture your heart? Since you’re getting married, could you share with us how your boyfriend proposed? I bet it was incredibly romantic."

Upon hearing this, Bai Menghan just smiled and shook her head.

"I can’t really answer that. I believe that as long as two people are happy together, there’s no need to care too much about those superficial things."

After she finished, she once again smiled and gestured to Nana, preparing to hand the microphone back to her.

This was the second time she had tried. ’Surely Nana would get the hint now,’ she thought. There’s a limit to these things. She had gestured to return the microphone twice now; if Nana didn’t end the interview, she’d be crossing a line.

But Nana still didn’t take the microphone, speaking directly instead.

"You’re absolutely right, miss. As long as two people are happy together, that’s all that matters. However, I believe a proposal is an indispensable step on the path to the altar. How about this: the next performance is a song, and it’s all about a proposal. Why don’t we listen to it together and appreciate the importance of a proposal, what do you say?"

Before Bai Menghan could respond, Nana turned and spoke directly to the audience.

"Behind every marriage, there is always an epic love story! And to prove my point, let’s all enjoy this next song together, ’Will You Marry Me?’"

After speaking, she took Bai Menghan’s arm and led her toward a small host’s lectern at the side of the stage.

As Nana linked their arms, Bai Menghan couldn’t help but furrow her brow slightly, wondering what this was all about.

But she had a gut feeling that this somehow involved her. ’Could it be one of my pursuers, trying to use this opportunity to confess to me?’
