Chapter 267: Chapter 272 Crisis Awareness
Upon arriving at the Hai Family, Xu Qigang briefly recounted his encounter with Elder Hai. The Hai family expressed their sincere gratitude, and after resting for a while as the old master couldn’t keep up due to his age, Xu Qigang then left.
It was Hai Shuangjie who personally saw Xu Qigang out.
Chen Yingjie, with an expression full of disdain, said, “No need to see off, just hurry on back!”
“It’s fine! Let escort Captain Xu,” Hai Shen replied, his smile warm and refined. “I haven’t properly thanked you for the last ti I visited the War Wolf Rescue Team for an exchange and study.”
“I didn’t learn anything, no need for thanks!”
The smile on Hai Shen’s face stiffened for three seconds, hehehe… so you all knew! Leaving them hanging for such a long ti.
Only the War Wolf Rescue Team would dare to do such a thing within the whole district.
“Alright, go back!” Both n got into the car, waved at Hai Shen, and drove away.
Hai Shen stood still, thoughtfully watching the jeep disappear into the distance, taking his ti before finally turning to go back.

The next morning, Sheng Ning continued her usual routine, starting with half an hour of yoga before washing up and training. Zhang Hongi, who had not been selected for the Wilderness Song and Dance Troupe, was feeling sowhat downcast.
At breakfast in the cafeteria, she ran into Liu Yilan. Sheng Ning quickly grabbed her and dragged her into a corner.
“Was it you who let Chen Huaying snatch the role?”
Liu Yilan glanced at her with pride and disdain, “Am I an idiot? Or is my head screwed on wrong?” She had been smart since she was little, how could she be as simple-minded as Chen Huaying, who was all brawn and no brain?
Expecting this response, Sheng Ning lowered her eyes and said, “Thank you!” Everyone ant well, and she couldn’t trample on their kindness carelessly.
“You, you’re really…” Liu Yilan didn’t even know what words to use to describe her, “Hurry up then, if you’re late for als, you’ll be left with nothing but dishwater to drink.”
Having trained the entire morning, Sheng Ning was also hungry and decided to prioritize getting food.
The General Union Dance Troupe’s row of seats was like a bed of blooming flowers, becoming the center of attention wherever one sat. Especially when Sheng Ning appeared with her lunchbox, she attracted countless eyes.
“Hmph! I just can’t stand people with such frivolous manners,” Zhou Dongi, who was also selected for the Wilderness troupe, said sourly.
“Keep your voice down!”
“Why should I? Why is it different when she cos? Isn’t it just because she has the face of a vixen?” Zhou Dongi was one to speak even louder the more soone tried to hush her. Using rural crude talk, she was truly shaless!
In fact, she had always looked down on Sheng Ning, priding herself on joining the union a year earlier than Sheng Ning. She considered herself a senior, naturally different from newcors. She usually looked down on people, but this ti, Teacher Qiu Bai’s selection had made her feel threatened.
Perhaps the role of lead dancer might be snatched away by a newcor! After all, during the last intensive training, Sheng Ning had stood out too much. This triggered a collective sense of crisis among the more senior mbers, who all thought about how to outperform her.
She had even heard that now many leaders were paying attention to Sheng Ning.
“Shut up!” Lu Xiaoshuang hamred her chopsticks on the table and shouted, “Would you die if you spoke less? Are you just jealous that she’s prettier than you?”
“Nonsense… Who said I’m jealous?” Zhou Dongi felt guilty and regretted not having shown her ttle, glaring weakly at Lu Xiaoshuang.
“What gives you the right to yell at ? What qualifications does a newcor have?” Zhou Dongi’s sense of superiority as a senior mber was on display at all tis.
