Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Since Liu Man had already been qualified to transfer to Capital University, Yu Zhan stopped caring about the email he wrote to Mr. Martin, the director of the piano major at Juilliard.

Yu Zhan did not expect that after one day, he would receive a reply from Mr. Martin.

Mr. Martin complimented Liu Man’s performance on a large scope in his letter, calling her Guqin performance wonderful! Unbelievable! Excellent! … He used all kinds of English adjectives.

He said their school accepted Liu Man’s application and emphasized how they didn’t need Yu Zhan’s money. Liu Man only needed to read the normal requirements for international students, hand in materials, and go through the application process. Mr. Martin would even personally write her recommendation letter.

Yu Zhan replied to Mr. Martin, showing his genuine appreciation. At the same time, he also told Mr. Martin that Liu Man had already got into a new school, and there was no way for her to apply to their school.

This time, Mr. Martin replied to the email within a second. He felt it was very unfortunate and said he hoped that, in the future, he could have a chance to invite Liu Man to their school to perform the Chinese Guqin. He also wanted to keep in contact with Yu Zhan long-termed.

Yu Zhan’s pet clinic, which had closed for three days, reopened. The nurse had been staying at home, not having anything to do. She was extremely anxious. If her boss had completely abandoned the shop, she would lose her job. With only one call from Yu Zhan, she came to work gleefully.

The nurse asked her boss where he was these three days. Yu Zhan only smiled, but he didn’t speak. If the nurse had known that Yu Zhan was in the most central area in the capital these three days, she probably would’ve peed from fear.

Two days after, Zhang Pei decided to visit Professor Su, so she could thank him for helping Liu Man transfer to Capital University.

She was initially planning on buying some expensive tonic from the supermarket as a gift.

Liu Man stopped her, “Professor Su won’t like these things.”

“Then, what does he like?” Zhang Pei knew such sophisticated and prestigious ones must belittle these mundane things, but she was a mundane person herself. What elegant gifts could she present?

Liu Man thought for a moment, got back into her room, and spread the rice paper on the desk. She pestled the inkstone to produce ink, dipped her brush into the ink, and wrote fourteen huge words on the paper: “As long as one keeps a pure mind, they would feel free and flexible.”

This was the first time Zhang Pei watched Liu Man write calligraphy. She got attracted to Liu Man’s elegant posture and calm attitude, and her eyes stared at her, not blinking at all.

So this was the phoenix-like posture of a Princess!

Sure enough, she was admirable.

Liu Man waited until the ink dried up before rolling up the paper and putting it into a paper container, “Let’s give this to the Professor.”

Why would Zhang Pei disagree? Such a high-tiered present could not be bought for hundreds of gold anywhere.

Professor Su’s home was located in a top-tiered teachers compound at Capital University. Behind the academic areas, there were villas. Although they were small, they each had two floors, a private garden, and a garage. This was where high-tiered professors and school leaders lived.

Liu Man sent a message to Professor Su beforehand, informing him that her mother was coming to visit him. Professor Su welcomed them and immediately send them his home address.

Liu Man and Zhang Pei walked to the entrance of Professor Su’s house according to the address, and they saw a woman watering flowers in the garden. Noticing the stares from Liu Man and her mother, she lifted her head and looked at the two. At last, her eyes landed on Liu Man, “You’re Liu Man, right?”

Liu Man said politely, “Hello. It is me.”

Zhang Pei could feel this woman was older than herself, but there was no trace of her old age on her face. Her long hair reached her shoulders, and her legs were long and lean. She was wearing high-heels and seemed extremely elegant. Zhang Pei, before, had thought she was living comfortably as a pampered woman. Now that she looked at this woman, she realized that the lives of the rich were completely different from theirs.

Su Juan then smiled and greeted Zhang Pei, “You must be Liu Man’s mother.”

“Yes, yes. Hello. I’m Zhang Pei.”

“My name is Su Juan; Su Yi is my father.”

Su Juan led Liu Man and her mother into the house. At this time, both Professor Su and his son-in-law, Fang Huaiyuan, were at home. Professor Su was writing in the study located on the first floor, and Fang Huaiyuan was reading files in the study located on the second floor.

Hearing the movements, both of them walked out of their rooms.

Professor Su, who saw them, enthusiastically welcomed them, “Welcome to my house.”

Liu Man was already very familiar with Professor Su, so she was a lot less courteous. However, Zhang Pei still greeted him respectfully. Professor Su let the duo sit on the couch in the living room.

Zhang Pei was initially very nervous. She had never even dared to dream of being able to step into a house that was owned by such a highly sophisticated man. However, seeing how approachable, amicable, and mild Professor Su was, she felt he was no different from normal elders.

She sighed in relief at once. However, her back was still sweating. It was unknown whether it was because the temperature was too high and she sweated from walking all the way here or because she was so nervous.

Su Juan could see her anxiety, and she served Zhang Pei and Liu Man tea in person. She smiled, “Don’t be reserved. Treat this as your own house.”

Liu Man saw a middle-aged man walk down from upstairs. His outside appearance looked very elegant, and he looked majestic even without getting angry. Professor Su pointed at him and said, “Here, let me introduce him to you. He’s my son-in-law, Fang Huaiyuan. He’s also the Principal of Capital University.”

Hearing these words, both Liu Man and Zhang Pei were extremely shocked. They hurriedly got up, “Principal Fang, hello.”

Liu Man had been learning calligraphy from Professor Su for the past four months, but she had not known at all that his son-in-law was the Principal.

No wonder Professor Su was so confident on the call when he said he could transfer her to Capital University. No wonder he could send posts to support her on Wei Bo without any worries.

Fang Huaiyuan examined this student that he let in through the backdoor since it was the first time he took advantage of his power. Her appearance did look pretty, and her temperament was good. He was only unsure whether her talents were as good as how his father-in-law described them to be.

Su Yi noticed the paper container that Liu Man had put onto the couch, and he asked, “Is this the gift you prepared for me?”

Liu Man said seriously, “You told me to give you some presents on the call.”

Professor Su burst into laughter, “Yes, yes. I did say that. I also said I will gladly accept them.”

Su Yi rarely had such emotional swings at home. He felt angry for Liu Man, and he felt happy because of Liu Man. Su Juan and Fang Huaiyuan finally realized how important Liu Man meant to him. She might have been even more important to Su Yi than his granddaughter.

Fang Huaiyuan and Su Juan had an only child. She had been going to school abroad ever since she was a child, and now she had gotten her own family and her job abroad, too. She rarely came back to China.

Su Yi had always felt unfortunate because he and Fang Huaiyuan were never able to pass down their calligraphy talents to his granddaughter. They had tried to teach her when she was just a child but helplessly gave up as she was just not the right person for calligraphy. She was reluctant to try to learn it either. The things she wrote could only be called “neat” and not “art”.

Professor Su opened the paper container and took out the scroll from inside. He hadn’t even seen the work, but he was already grinning, “I need to go back to my study and look at it carefully. You two, come with me too,” He called his daughter and his son-in-law.

The trio all walked into Professor Su’s study. Liu Man and Zhang Pei exhaled at the same time; Principal Fang pressured them so much.
