Chapter 0010: Refusal
At this moment, she developed a strong interest in Zheng Rongxuan and wanted to know everything about him, including his daily life, his creative work, and how he managed to learn so many languages. It is worth noting that even with English, she has not been very proficient since elementary school, and only now can she barely communicate fluently with foreigners on her own. Yet, Zheng Rongxuan is able to compose songs in several foreign languages, and this year he is only 18 years old
After finally managing to disperse the enthusiasm of his classmates, Zheng Rongxuan, feeling more exhausted than after a battle, was just about to leave when he was quickly surrounded by a dozen talent scouts. Zheng Rongxuan was momentarily at a loss for words, wondering which of their eyes had seen him wanting to pursue a career in the music industry
The various departments of Dongguo University are also engaged in a variety of competitions. In recent years, the rise of the Music Department, the Drama and Film Department, and others has made the other departments feel a sense of threat. The most direct impact is that the funding and resources of the school are increasingly being taken away by them. If this continues, will the other departments still have the opportunity to develop?
Therefore, various departments had long viewed him unfavorably. Previously, Jiang Yan was manageable, but when Dean Park heard the teachers and professors from the department saying that Zheng Rongxuan was a top student in the computer science program, with a solid foundation and comprehensive knowledge, even comparable to many third and fourth-year students, how could he allow him to be poached by other departments, especially by the rival music department
Thank you, Dean Park, for your encouragement! There are still many students who need to perform, so I won't waste any more time here, Senior!" After expressing his gratitude, Zheng Rongxuan smiled at Jun Ji-hyun beside him, then bowed again and left the stage amidst the renewed enthusiastic applause.
Meanwhile, Dean Park, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but smile broadly at Zheng Rongxuan's words. With a hint of pride, he glanced over at the music department before turning back to the stage and loudly proclaiming: "Well done, Zheng Rongxuan! You should stay true to your convictions and not be disturbed by any external factors. I believe that as long as you persevere, you will surely achieve remarkable accomplishments in the field of computer science"
Professor Jin glared at Dean Park with some anger, just as he was about to say something, he heard Zheng Rongxuan on the stage say: "Thank you for your kind words, Professor Jin, but music composition is merely a hobby for me. My greatest passion remains in computer science, so I apologize, but I have no intention of changing my major."
I apologize to everyone, but I currently just want to focus on studying and creating in peace. I have no intention of developing in the entertainment industry for the time being, so I kindly ask everyone to leave. Of course, if you are interested in my work, I hope there will be opportunities for collaboration in the future. For now, I would appreciate it if everyone could make way, as I need to go back and rest. I must quickly write down the inspiration I received today
Zheng Rongxuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's fine, I only know a few languages. Besides, these languages are not too difficult to learn, and studying them is quite an enjoyable experience." Zheng Rongxuan boasted somewhat smugly.
Having rid himself of the bothersome talent scouts, Zheng Rongxuan, fearing further mishaps, hurriedly slipped away. Unbeknownst to him, the persistent professors from the music department soon found their way here, followed closely by Dean Park leading the computer science department, as well as the foreign language department joining the fray.
"There is no way to let him go, Zheng Rongxuan is the top student in our Computer Science Department, I would rather die than release him, no department can expect that." Before he could finish his words, the dean of the College of Engineering, an old man with the surname Park, jumped up and trembled. Although Professor Jin holds a high position in Dongguo University, he is not low either, as both hold the position of vice president.
Among the students present, some were rendered speechless, as there were indeed individuals who regarded learning as a form of enjoyment. Perhaps it is precisely due to this mindset that they have managed to master so many languages
Upon hearing Zheng Rongxuan's words, the group of teachers and professors from the music department shook their heads in regret, lamenting that such a promising talent, with such exceptional gifts, was being wasted in the computer science department; this was nothing short of a crime, a murder.
It cannot be said that it is entirely based on you, but I believe that if you were to play the female lead, it would be a good choice. I do not know much about the senior, but for some reason, I suddenly felt that this should be done.
Zheng Rongxuan was unaware of this, as he was immediately surrounded by a crowd backstage after stepping down, especially by his classmates from China, who were all asking him various questions, each taking turns to speak.
Are you saying that the story is based on me? It seems you don't really understand me, do you? Haven't you only been in Korea for a few months? Jeon Ji-hyun widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, truly unable to believe that a boy, and a foreign boy at that, could write a book just because he happened to glance at her, and even compose such a beautiful and melodious theme song for it
Alright, I express my great anticipation for your book, and I will definitely go buy a copy next month to take a look. Professor Jin has something to say, please go ahead, Professor Jin!" Jun Ji-hyun replied with a smile, seeing Professor Jin from the music department standing up in front, she quickly bowed and greeted him.
The enthusiastic applause at the scene continued unabated. The several professors in front had spoken multiple times, but Zheng Rongxuan did not hear them. Just as he was about to step down from the stage, Jeon Ji-hyun and Lin Zhendong from Taiwan came up to the stage and held him back
Zheng Rongxuan has left the stage, yet it seems as though the audience's hearts have been taken away. The subsequent performances garnered little applause, and even when there was some, it was sparse. Furthermore, Zheng Rongxuan's formidable presence directly influenced their performance, leading some students to boo. A few female students even cried on stage out of frustration.
Zheng Rongxuan smiled and shrugged his shoulders, tilting his head as he looked at the youthful and beautiful Jun Ji-hyun in front of him, saying: "Senior, the moment I saw you for the first time when I entered the school, this story suddenly flashed before my eyes, and so I wrote it down. As for this song, it also came to me as inspiration while I was writing this book, and I created it then."
I just want to say, brother, you are truly amazing. How can you speak so many languages? Do you really know all of them? Or did you specifically learn these few lines for this song? Lin Zhendong was left dumbfounded; he never expected to encounter a compatriot with such an extraordinary talent for languages today. Indeed, in his mind, this could no longer be described as extraordinary; it was purely at a freakish level.
The song you created is truly amazing. How did you come up with the idea of writing a theme song for a book? Also, what is your book about?" On the other side, Jun Ji-hyun was equally excited and somewhat incoherent. Today's Jung Yong-hwa had left her in shock; she had never imagined that such a powerful presence could exist at Dongguk University. As she was about to graduate, she originally thought that the biggest star today would be Ahn Jae-hyun, but unexpectedly, the biggest surprise of the night came from Jung Yong-hwa from China.

Taking the microphone handed to him by a staff member, Professor Jin, still somewhat excited, said: "Zheng Rongxuan, with your exceptional musical talent, you should truly consider studying systematically in the music department. As long as you are willing, you need not concern yourself with anything else."
