Chapter 330 Please enjoy the song "Whataya Want From Me"

Zhang Jiayuan’s words almost burned out Fang Jie’s CPU.

I was just pretending, but you took it seriously.

"What can we argue about? Why do you have so many questions?" Fang Jie scolded Zhang Jiayuan.

"Since there is no quarrel, you should hold Dad's hand."

Fang Jie rolled her eyes, but couldn't do anything about her, so she stepped forward and took Lin Jiang's arm.

The two looked at each other. Fang Jie looked him up and down and said with a smile:
“It feels quite similar.”

“It’s mainly temperament.”

"Indeed, you have the temperament of a mature man, which is something no one else can compare to." Fang Jie said happily.

"You're just finding ways to say I'm old."

"You said it yourself, I didn't say it." Fang Jie said arrogantly.

Zhang Jiayuan was beside them, jumping and skipping along.

Fang Jie happily held Lin Jiang's arm with a happy smile on her face.

Although the dream is short, it is good to have such a dream.

The school party was held on the small playground.

A small stage was also built with lighting, sound, and various equipment, which looked quite professional.

Teachers and parents of students also gathered together, and everyone was dressed up beautifully.

After taking a look at the people in front, Fang Jie did not lie. There were indeed a few female parents who were very pretty and had good figures.

In addition to the students' parents, there are also many foreign teachers. These people dress relatively casually, which is in sharp contrast to the female parents.

When the three of them arrived at the venue, a long-haired female teacher came over.

Zhang Jiayuan jumped up and down, waved and greeted, then trotted over.

"Teacher Hanhan."

"Yuanyuan is here."

"This is their teacher, her name is Zhou Yuhan, she's pretty good, right?" Fang Jie came over and whispered.

“Why does it feel like a sales pitch?”

Fang Jie moved her small and smart nose, "It is indeed a sales pitch, but if you dare to buy it, it won't work."

While no one was paying attention, Lin Jiang rubbed his arm against Fang Jie's chest.

"Ms. Fang Jie, you'd better keep a low profile, otherwise at night..."

"Bad guy, stop talking, there are so many people here."

Lin Jiang smiled, and the two of them came to Zhou Yuhan.

Seeing Lin Jiang, Zhou Yuhan also looked at him. Usually, only Fang Jie came here, but she didn't expect that she would bring the child's father here today.

"Teacher Zhou, is there anything we can help you with?"

"No, but I have something to tell you." Zhou Yuhan said:
"Do you and Yuanyuan's father have any talents?"

"Do we need to go up and perform?"

"It's not necessary to go. We are counting the number of people. We hope that parents with talents can go up and perform to increase the interactivity and fun."

Fang Jie looked at Lin Jiang with a bit of heat in her eyes.

Zhou Yuhan also looked at Lin Jiang, "Is Yuanyuan's father okay?"

"Okay, I'll go up if you need me. If other parents have talents, I won't embarrass myself."

"It's okay. This is just a party. It's mainly for entertainment. Even teachers like us who are tone-deaf need to go up and sing. Just have fun."

"Then I'll follow Teacher Zhou's arrangements."

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Lin Jiang did not refuse such a request.

"Thank you, Yuanyuan's father, for supporting our work. You can find a place to sit. There are still places in the front row. Go quickly."

"okay."

The two found seats in the front row and all that was left was to wait for the party to begin.

"How's your practice of the song 'Whataya Want From Me' that I taught you yesterday going?"

Lin Jiang tilted his head and glanced at the mother and daughter, and felt that Fang Jie was already prepared.

“I can sing a little bit.”

"Sing a few lines for me."

"Hey slow it down..."

"What do you want from me..."

"What do you want from me..."

"Yeah I'm afraid..."

Zhang Jiayuan sang very well and her pronunciation was accurate, but not a single word was in tune.

But being able to sing to this level is already pretty good. At least the English level is pretty good.

"Not bad, not bad. Mommy will take you out for a delicious meal tonight and buy you some toys."

"Oh yeah!"

Fang Jie was very proud, as if everything was ready except for the east wind, and then she went to pretend to be something big.

"I think you've already thought about it."

"Just get ready, just in case you agree to me." Fang Jie smiled contentedly.

"Let me tell you, the appearance fee is very high."

Fang Jie blushed, "I know. I'll make it up to you tonight."

"Good eyesight."

Just as the two were talking, Zhou Yuhan came over.

"Yuanyuan's mother, what talent does Yuanyuan's father plan to perform?"

“Sing, ‘Whataya Want From Me’.”

Fang Jie was very confident and excited.

I feel like I'm about to use my ultimate move.

"Yuanyuan's father is really great. I like this song too, but it's a little hard to sing."

"He can do it. Can we let Yuanyuan be with her father then?"

"Of course, I'll arrange it right away."

Fang Jie became even more beautiful, and was already humming a little tune, ready to show off.

On the other side, Zhou Yuhan walked to the center console, ready to explain Lin Jiang’s singing.

At this time, at the center console on the left side of the stage, a male teacher was operating a computer.

Next to him was a man wearing a coat, suit pants and black leather shoes. He was wearing glasses and had a gentle temperament.

The man's name is Liu Xudong, and he is also a parent of a student.

"Teacher, we are going to sing "Love the Way You Lie."" said Liu Xudong.

"Oh, this song is not easy to sing. There is even a rap part in it." The male teacher said with a smile.

"My daughter sings the Rihanna part, and I do the rap part."

"That's really amazing. I'll find the accompaniment now." The male teacher operated the computer.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

"As you should. You are helping us by performing on stage."

Liu Xudong had a smile on his face and was full of anticipation for the performance that would take place soon.

"Teacher Wang, several parents have signed up now." Zhou Yuhan walked over and asked.

"Yangyang's father is the only one who signed up."

"Then include Yuanyuan's father and find the accompaniment of "Whataya Want From Me"."

"Wow, someone can sing such a difficult song? Is it possible?"

Because it is an English training institution, most of the teachers here are graduates of English majors. Even if they are not, they have many years of studying abroad experience.

So many of their playlists are English songs.

Naturally, I also know popular singles like "Whataya Want From Me" and "Love the Way You Lie" by heart, and can even hum a few lines.

"Yuanyuan's father said that if there were too many people, he would not come up, but if there were no people, he would come up to join in the fun."

Zhou Yuhan smiled and looked at Liu Xudong, "Dad Yangyang, I remember you seem to be working in the music field."

"I'm not working in this field, but I graduated from a music school. I have some basic skills, so I'm here to show off my skills."

"You are too modest. We are the ones who are making a fool of ourselves. If you sing, it will improve the quality of the party."

"Teacher Hanhan, you're too polite."

"You guys go ahead and do your work. I have other things to do. I'll leave first."

After saying a polite word, Zhou Yuhan left, and Liu Xudong followed suit.

When he went back, Liu Xudong straightened his back. His height of 180 cm made him stand out among all the male parents.

Some female parents would subconsciously take a second look. Back at their seats, Liu Xudong and his wife Ma Chenchen sat on either side, and their daughter Liu Nuanyang sat in the middle.

"Is there a student named Yuanyuan in Yangyang's class?"

"Yuanyuan?" Ma Chenchen muttered, obviously a little unfamiliar with the situation of the students in the class.

After all, it is a cram school, and the communication between parents is not as frequent as in the school class group.

"Dad, is that Zhang Jiayuan?" Liu Nuanyang said:
"She is the only one in our class whose name contains the character 'Yuan'."

"Where is that classmate? Point him out to dad."

Liu Nuanyang looked around and pointed at Zhang Jiayuan who was sitting on the left.

Liu Xudong and Ma Chenchen looked over and saw Lin Jiang and Fang Jie sitting not far away.

Ma Chenchen's eyes lit up. Zhang Jiayuan's father was so handsome and well-dressed. He outshined all the other male parents.

Although Liu Xudong's appearance is not bad, the couple has been together for a long time, so naturally they don't think the other is good-looking anymore.

But to be fair, among all the male parents present, no one can compare to Zhang Jiayuan's father.

But soon, Ma Chenchen's gaze fell on Fang Jie.

Zhang Jiayuan's father is very handsome, but her mother is also very beautiful, and the two of them look very well matched when sitting together.

"Okay, why are you asking about this?" Ma Chenchen asked defensively.

Women are such strange creatures.

I can look at other men, but you can't look at other women.

"I heard from Teacher Zhou that the girl's father will also be singing later. The song he will sing is Adam's "Whataya Want From Me."

"I know this song. A few days ago, a singer named Adam sang this song on a singing show. I heard that everyone in the audience was impressed by it. It was a hot topic on the Internet at that time."

Liu Xudong nodded.

"Adam is the ceiling of pop music. The difficulty of Whataya Want From Me is top-notch. Even I can't sing it."

"If you, a music college graduate, can't do it, he must be even worse." Ma Chenchen said:
"Maybe it's because this song is so popular that everyone wants to join in the fun and sing it."

"Anyway, I can't sing it, and I don't know if he can." Liu Xudong smiled, "Anyway, it definitely takes some courage to choose this song."

"It's entertainment, just have fun, no one will say anything whether the singing is good or not, after all, other parents don't have the courage to go up."

After Ma Chenchen finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xudong and said, "But you have to perform well. There are so many people watching. You can't sing for fun. I still have to record you."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine."

"Are you singing in front of him or behind him?"

"I don't know about that. It depends on the school's arrangement. Anyway, it's just the two of us. He goes up there just to make up the numbers. As long as I sing well, it'll be fine."

"How do you know they are just making up the numbers?"

"Teacher Zhou said that if he didn't go, I would be the only one singing, so I asked him to come to make up the numbers."

"I see. If you were the type to sing seriously, you probably wouldn't have chosen this song."

"Of course, not many people can handle this song. With so many music shows, do you think anyone would dare to cover this song?"

"You're right."

Ma Chenchen tilted his head and glanced at Lin Jiang.

He is indeed handsome, but seems to lack a bit of composure.

It would be so nice to be a handsome guy quietly. Why bother to go out and entertain the public? Just let those ugly parents do this kind of thing. You just need to be handsome.

Ma Chenchen sighed secretly, feeling like the handsome guy filter he had was about to shatter.

"Hey Hey hey……"

A female teacher walked up to the stage and tested the sound with a microphone.

"Dear parents and students, please find a seat. The party will begin soon."

Parents scattered in other places took their children to find a place to sit down.

The opening is the teacher’s summary, which contains some formal words but also some valuable information.

This means that they have completed all the primary school content in the third grade and will start the junior high school courses next.

After hearing the news, Lin Jiang discovered that without Tongzi's help, his English level would be even lower than that of an elementary school student.

After the opening remarks, it was time for the performance.

The performers included students and teachers, some sang, some danced, and some recited poems.

But they are all in English, even the dance music.

The students' parents below were also listening with great interest.

From the price of the cram school and the cars parked at the door, we can tell that the parents of these students are middle class and have good financial conditions themselves.

It can be inferred indirectly that they all have good academic qualifications, and in a city like Zhonghai, English is not unfamiliar to them.

In addition to the performances, there was also an award ceremony. Almost every student received an award. It was difficult for the teacher to come up with so many award names.

"When will it be your turn to sing?" Fang Jie asked expectantly.

"I don't know about that either. Just go with the flow."

"Good food is never too late. I'll wait a little longer."

After presenting the awards, the female teacher walked onto the stage.

"Next, please welcome Liu Nuanyang and his father to sing "Love the Way You Lie" for everyone."

As a popular single in Europe and the United States, many parents know this song. They subconsciously looked at Liu Xudong and applause broke out.

In their opinion, anyone who dares to sing this song has some level of talent.

Liu Xudong stood up, straightened his clothes, and stamped his feet.

"Daughter, come on stage with daddy."

"Uh-huh."

The father and daughter walked to one side of the stage, and the male teacher in charge of the central control said:
"Now is the best time for the whole venue, Yangyang Dad, whether we can go to the next level depends on you."

"I try my best."

Liu Xudong took the microphone and went on stage. He also understood why he was asked to perform on stage first, because the atmosphere was the best now.

Come to think of it, this is an entertainment party, and parents' enthusiasm will definitely not be too high. It's already very good that they can stick to watching this. If they wait any longer, they may become impatient, and the effect will not be as good as it is now when they go on stage.

This arrangement is quite reasonable.

The father and daughter stood in the center of the stage, and the music started.

The parents below were all very focused, because most of them were highly educated and English songs were on their playlists, so they were naturally looking forward to this song.

Because it was a father-daughter duet, Liu Nuanyang spoke first.

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn..."

"But that's alright because I like the way it hurts..."

The level is about the same as Zhang Jiayuan's. The pronunciation is very accurate, but not a single word is in tune.

But none of this matters, because being able to go on stage is already very brave.

After the singing, the rap part soon came.

Liu Xudong picked up the microphone and started to rap.

"I can't tell you what it really is..."

"I can only tell you what it feels like..."

Lin Jiang and Fang Jie listened attentively in the audience.

"I feel like the singing is pretty good, not like an amateur." Fang Jie said:

“It’s just that the English pronunciation is not quite accurate, and it has a very obvious Chinese accent.”

"This is normal. Chinese people who learn foreign languages ​​all have this problem. But I can tell that he doesn't sound amateurish. But the pitch is a little off, and the rhythm and technique are also a little off."

“But being able to sing Eminem’s rap part to this level is acceptable, isn’t it?” Fang Jie said.

“It is indeed very good.”

Soon, Liu Xudong finished singing and applause broke out from the audience. Everyone was very considerate and applauded enthusiastically.

Handing the microphone to the host, Liu Xudong straightened his back and walked back to Ma Chenchen with the child.

"My husband is so handsome."

"I performed well today. I performed well in the areas where I didn't sing well before."

"The only pity is that you didn't get to be the last one, otherwise the effect would have been much better."

"When I went up just now, Teacher Wang said that the reason why I was put in the front was because the atmosphere on the scene was the best, and I was a professional and could liven up the atmosphere, so he let me go up first." Liu Xudong whispered:
"Look at the other parents, aren't they as focused?"

Ma Chenchen looked at the other parents and said, "It seems to be true."

"For this kind of party, parents have to take time out to attend. If possible, I guess many people won't come. It's okay for a short time, but if it goes on for a long time, some people will naturally get impatient. If I go up last, no one may even look at me."

"Looking at it this way, it's a pretty good arrangement."

"I am very sure of that."

After Liu Xudong finished singing, several other small performances followed.

After more than half an hour, the party came to an end.

The host came on stage, took the microphone and said:
"Next, please welcome Zhang Jiayuan and his father to sing "Whataya Want From Me."
