Chapter 269: Chapter 274: Ex-partner
“Thank you! I definitely won’t let Captain Zheng down,” Sheng Ning said as she sat down next to Lu Xiaoshuang with her lunchbox.
Breakfast ti was already short, and many people had finished eating while they bickered. With this in mind, she bowed her head to eat, ignoring the gaze of everyone around her.
After finishing her al, Chen Huaying ca over with a bun stuffed in her mouth. By this ti, mbers of the Song and Dance Troupe had dispersed, leaving only a few scattered people to clean the tables and wash the dishes.
“I heard you just had a confrontation with Zheng ilin?”
“Mhm,” Sheng Ning nodded while washing her lunchbox and then placed it on the rack before wiping her hands and heading towards Practice Room No.1.
“I was only a little late, and I missed such a spectacular drama. Now, all the old comrades of our Song and Dance Troupe hate you,” Chen Huaying followed her, speaking unclearly with her mouth full of bun, which was amusing.
“Let them hate! Even if I try to keep a low profile, others will still take a dislike to you, just as Zhao Yan takes a dislike to you. You should get up earlier in the future, and not dawdle around,” Sheng Ning had noticed that Chen Huaying, whom she had been living with for just a few days, had a severe problem with getting out of bed. She was late for training, late for morning runs, and late for als.
“Keep coming late like this, and there will be no buns left for you, only pot washing water to drink.”
Chen Huaying let her words go in one ear and out the other, not paying any attention. “Do you know why Zheng ilin is targeting you?”
“I have no idea!”
“It’s because she is ng Ping’s ex!” After saying this, Chen Huaying found it amusing and laughed heartily to herself.
“How boring!” Sheng Ning gave her a disdainful glance and pushed open the door to Practice Room No.1.
Chen Huaying, feeling snubbed, hurriedly followed her in.
Today was the first official appearance of all participants in the Hope Field Musical. Practice Room No.1 was the largest in terms of area, with a spacious stage and the most complete equipnt.
Even in the southeast corner of the stage, there was a piano; Liu Yilan was sitting in front of it, trying out the keys.
Others were practicing basic dance steps on the wide space beneath the stage. Yang Xiaoman was on stage, looking at the score with focused attention. Sunlight poured in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden glows on her face.
Sheng Ning took a deep breath; she had seen this scene in her dreams countless tis while she was in prison in her previous life.
This had almost beco her most persistent dream, about dance, about dedication to the stage.
“What are you standing there for looking so foolish?” Chen Huaying pushed her from behind and said with disdain, “You’re smiling like an idiot.”
“Everybody, gather up,” Qiu Bai ca in with four teachers from the Song and Dance Troupe, clapped her hands, and everyone automatically ford into two lines.
The veterans in one line, the newbies in another.
Dressed in a well-fitted, stylish cashre coat, the pure white color made Qiu Bai look especially trendy and pretty.
Truly, she stood out from the other veteran female teachers of the troupe; it was clear she had been abroad.
“Attention!”
“At ease!” Qiu Bai raised her hand to signal and scanned everyone’s face before clearing her throat and saying, “You have all been selected as outstanding literary and art workers, dancers! Comrades with solid overall quality. I don’t want anyone forming cliques or small groups in my team. Anyone who dares to do so can just roll out of Hope Field, out of the General Union, out of the Song and Dance Troupe.”
Clearly, today’s incident in the cafeteria had reached the upper managent! The General Union had been paying close attention to the persistent rumors of discord within the Song and Dance Troupe, and there was no way this incident could be kept hidden!
