Chapter 175 - "Should I go in suit or something more casual." (1)
A dim look crossed the deep part of Gu Shao's eyes.
He did not know that Gu Xi could play the piano.
He never felt this way before but now he felt regretful that he had missed so much of watching her grow up.
Gu Xi finally remembered that [AAA] was waiting for her after she had returned to her room. She quickly sent him another message.
[X]: Are you asleep?
[No.] The response came instantly.
[X]: Same question as before. Can I use the method we have discussed earlier on holographic equipment?
Su Xiuying was a bit surprised when he heard "holographic equipment". Then again, recalling that her father was Gu Shao and Uncle Gu would, naturally, have all kinds of equipment, Su Xiuying was calmed again.
[AAA]: Yes.
The idea behind them was the same, just a matter of more codes when it came holographic equipment.
[AAA]: For the effects that you want, we can do one of two approaches. One of them is to pre-program according to what you are going to perform and play it on site.
That would require the performance to practice a lot ahead of them for the performance and the pre-programmed effect to sync up. There was no room for discrepancies or any spontaneous changes.
[AAA]: The second approach is to smart automate the program and had the light change with your piano keys and music and tune real time.
[AAA] didn't point it out but Gu Xi could gather that the latter would be a much require a much more complicated code.
[X]: If it is a lot of hassle, the first option will be fine.
[AAA]: Not a hassle.
[AAA]: Let's go with the second one then.
The second one would work better for Gu Xi's situation.
And its effect would be better.
Gu Shao didn't think that Bro A would be such a nice guy. She was very touched.
[X]: Thank you so much! I'll treat you when we meet!
Su Xiuying, "......" No, no, no. Let's not meet, ever.
Finally, after struggling with it some, Su Xiuying gave her the reply that would work under any situation: "Goodnight."
Gu Xi was still unaccustomed to the concise Bro A.
When Gu Xi arrived at school the next day, the Art Committee girl had already booked her a music room.
"I booked the time between noon and the afternoon and we will have the room all the way until the day before the Art Festival!" The Art Committee girl came over and said to Gu Xi with a smile. She then paused, blinked, and added, "And, I got us the best music room."
Gu Xi was a bit surprised when she heard that. "How did you pull that off?"
The best music room is a hot commodity.
How was she able to book it just like that?
Gu Xi mumbled to herself.
The Art Committee girl went on to say, "I gave them your name. I said you needed it for practice and the teacher helped me get it."
She didn't even dare ask for the entire afternoon. That was arranged for them by the teacher in charge of the music rooms.
Recalling the supportive look on the teacher's face when they heard that the room was needed by Gu Xi, the Art Committee girl had thoughts about that. Who wouldn't want to be a valedictorian if possible? A good student was so well-liked by all the teachers.
"Let's go over in the afternoon," said the Art Committee girl quickly.
Their poem recital last year was called filler by many. Now that her class was responsible for the most important performance of the year, she definitely wanted a comeback.
"Okay." Gu Xi nodded and, looking at the excitement on the Art Committee girl, also felt that she should treat this more seriously.

The group headed over to the Art Building in the afternoon and the teacher responsible for the music rooms showed them to the room with an excited look.
To Gu Xi's surprise, even the music teacher was there.
She didn't know that they would get a teacher for booking a music room nowadays.
Gu Xi looked over at the Art Committee girl, giving her an appreciative look.
Lo and behold, it wasn't just Gu Xi, even the Art Committee girl looked equally baffled.
