Chapter 51, "Lilacs," is now available as a ringtone.
Three days after the digital music festival ended, posts about Christmas Eve were still flooding the campus forum of Xichuan University of Technology.
"Tang Lei's 'Lilac Flower': Many students cried at Mingde Square on Christmas Eve."
"Metal Strawberry's 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies' is so energetic! A tribute to Beyond!"
"Student council president Gao Yu and minister Wu Feng have been dismissed, reportedly related to the suppression of the digital music club?"
The post received countless comments, some praising the music festival's success, some sharing touching moments from Christmas Eve, and others gossiping about the student council's inner workings.
Of course, many girls were also inquiring about Lin Feng's personal situation. Overnight, Lin Feng and the Digital Music Club became the most talked-about names on campus.
Walking on the campus path, Lin Feng could clearly feel the difference.
From time to time, unfamiliar classmates would walk up to him, smiling at him, and some would even greet him warmly: "Good morning, President Lin!"
"President Lin, when will the music club hold its next event?"
Hearing that President Lin was still single, some bold girls even watched him from afar, whispering with their companions about what kind of girls President Lin liked.
Su Wan read through all the relevant posts on the forum, enjoying the reading while secretly chuckling to herself.
She opened her computer, where there was a special folder called "Digital Music Festival".
Inside, hundreds of photos from the music festival were neatly arranged. There were pictures of Tang Lei playing guitar while singing, Shen Jingyi's focused expression, the long queues, the sea of lights from cell phones during the sing-along, and Lin Feng's profile standing by the stage…
She meticulously selected the best photos one by one, preparing to create a commemorative photo album.
After two sleepless nights, the photo album was finally finished. She also added a caption titled "That Night, the Youth We Heard Together."
She found a photo studio, printed out the carefully selected photos, and bound them into an album.
Holding the photo album, she stood downstairs in dormitory 407 and sent Lin Feng a text message.
"President, are you in the dorm? I have something for you."
When Lin Feng came downstairs, he saw Su Wan standing under a street lamp, holding a photo album in her hands.
"What is this?"
Su Wan handed over the photo album: "These are photos from the music festival that I organized. I'm keeping them as a memento for you."
Lin Feng opened the photo album and flipped through the pages one by one.
The photos are beautifully captured. There are moments of singers performing, moments of music club staff organizing activities, and countless young faces in the audience—some laughing, some crying, some singing along.
The last page features Lin Feng himself. He stands at the edge of the stage, hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the stage.
Below it is a line that reads: "Because we believe, we see. — To the miracle we have created together."
Lin Feng smiled as he flipped through the album and closed it. Only then did he notice that Su Wan had dark circles under her eyes, clearly from staying up late.
This is definitely not something that could be finished in one night. It seems that this girl has been working on it for who knows how long after the celebration banquet ended.
A surge of emotion welled up in Lin Feng's heart.
"Thank you for your hard work. This gift is very precious, I accept it."
"I'm glad you like it, President!" Su Wan's cheeks flushed slightly. "I think this music festival is particularly meaningful and should be properly recorded."
After saying that, Su Wan smiled and ran away.
After running a few steps, he turned back and called out, "President, I'll take your photos again for any future events!"
Lin Feng watched her figure disappear around the corner.
In the afternoon, Lin Feng went to check out the newly applied activity room of the Digital Music Club. Shen Jingyi happened to be there as well; she was wearing a beige sweater that made her skin look very fair.
"President, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Shen Jingyi looked at Xu Qiang and Wang Peng.
Xu Qiang, ever observant, nudged Wang Peng, who was standing to the side in a daze, and said, "Come on, let's go check out other places. Don't slack off." The two of them went out laughing and joking.
Only Lin Feng and Shen Jingyi remained in the activity room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet.
"Jingyi, what's wrong?"
Shen Jingyi asked softly, "President, are you... graduating soon?"
"Yes, next summer. There are still six months left."
"So... what about after graduation?" Shen Jingyi looked at Lin Feng with her expressive eyes. "Will you still be in charge of our music club? Or... will you just focus on your studio and your business?"
There are too many clubs in university, and they quickly fall apart once the founder leaves. She didn't want the Digital Music Club to become like that, and she especially didn't want... the person in front of her to leave.
Lin Feng hadn't expected her to ask that, and deliberately asked in a relaxed tone, "What, are you afraid I'll run away after graduation and abandon you all?"
"Who's afraid! I'm just... just asking. You're our backbone. What if the gang falls apart if you run away?"
She paused, then lowered her voice even more: "We don't want the president to leave." After saying that, she lowered her head, her face turning red.
Lin Feng thought about it seriously: "Fengchi Digital's studio will definitely focus on the school in the short term, after all, our users and a lot of resources are here. As for the music club... as long as the school lets me be the president, and as long as everyone still needs me, of course I will take care of it."
"That's good." She added, "Everyone trusts you, and I trust you too."
Lin Feng smiled but didn't say anything.
My phone rang; it was a call from Manager Chen from the mobile company.
"Mr. Lin, I have great news for you! The entire review process for the 'Lilac Flower' ringtone has been completed through the green channel, and the technical department has informed us that it will be launched at 12 noon today!"
The first batch of promotional resources has been coordinated: a featured image on the homepage of the Mengwang Music Channel for one week, pop-up notifications on the Sichuan Provincial University WAP portal, and we've also coordinated with some campus agents for on-the-ground promotion. You can also cooperate by promoting it on campus.
"Great, thank you so much, Manager Chen!" Lin Feng's spirits lifted; the speed was even faster than he had expected.
"Of course, it's a win-win situation," Manager Chen said with a smile. "By the way, did Manager Zhang from XunJie Sound also contact you? Their promotion budget has been approved, and it's quite substantial. We're all very optimistic about this song. Mr. Lin, just wait and see the data take off!"
Just after I hung up Manager Chen's call, Manager Zhang's number popped up.
"President Lin! The initial online promotion budget for 'Lilac Flower' ranks first among our company's new songs. We're also negotiating recommendations with several local music radio stations. This time, XunJie Music is betting everything on 'Lilac Flower'!"
"Don't worry, Manager Zhang, we have absolute confidence in this song. We'll start the promotional efforts on campus immediately," Lin Feng replied calmly.
He could sense the determination of Manager Zhang on the other end of the phone; clearly, "Lilac Flower" had prompted Xunji Audio to place a heavy bet.
Two phone calls marked the official start of the commercialization engine for "Lilac Flower".
Lin Feng took a deep breath, a surge of excitement and challenge coursing through his veins. He immediately posted the task in the club's core group chat:
Starting at noon, the publicity team posted pre-designed promotional posters for the ringtones in various canteens, bulletin boards, and dormitory areas on campus, and also posted them on the campus forum.
The key highlights include keywords such as "Tang Lei's original voice", "touching the campus", and "first release of mobile ringtone".
