Chapter 689: Chapter 718 Whose Position Is It?
The doors of the Provincial Command Center were grand and majestic. It was Sheng Ning’s first ti at the Provincial Command Center; from the mont she entered the gates, she couldn’t help but look around curiously. After getting off the big truck, many people were so excited they couldn’t contain themselves, clustering in small groups and buzzing with conversation.
“Get a grip!” Yang Wenying ca from ahead, seeing everyone acting like they’d never seen the world before, and she couldn’t help but spit in disdain, “Don’t embarrass , just look at yourselves.” She had arrived earlier and had just gone backstage, where the organization departnt had done a good job with the arrangents.
“Respects to the General Troupe!”
“Respects to the General Troupe!”
“General Troupe, this is our first ti at the Provincial Command Center, can we not be excited?” Sheng Ning said with a smile, “I rember during the Mid-Autumn Festival party, we were already blown away.”
“Tonight you’ll see many leaders and comrades, I promise it’ll be an eye-opener for you,” Qiu Bai raised an eyebrow, “But you’re not allowed to stand on stage gaping like fools and affect your performance.”
“Of course, we won’t.”
The General Union Dance Troupe was the earliest to arrive, with the n busily unloading equipnt. The won went backstage first to get acquainted with the setting, while Yang Wenying was pulled aside for a eting by the organization departnt, and Qiu Bai with another teacher took everyone else.
The auditorium of the Provincial Command Center was circular and beautifully constructed, able to accommodate two thousand people. Everyone entered through a dedicated perforrs’ entrance backstage, which had a complete set of facilities for perforrs to change clothes, put on makeup, and prepare—matching even the National Grand Theater in terms of equipnt.
“So important events are also held here. In the entire Northern District, there are more than sixty Song and Dance Troupes, but less than twenty have the honor of performing in this venue. It’s our first ti participating too…” Qiu Bai stretched out her fair hand and gently touched the red velvet curtain on the stage, her expression dreamy.
“Work hard tonight!”
“Work hard!”
It hadn’t been long since the General Union’s people arrived when other Song and Dance Troupes began to show up one after another, and the backstage area imdiately beca lively. Each troupe had its own designated area. Upon arrival, logistics staff would lead them to their assigned spots, based on previously taken positions, and the performance pieces had been reported in advance. As for the order, it was arranged by the senior officials.
“The Qianjin Dance Troupe is here, the Qianjin Dance Troupe has arrived!” Soone shouted, and the entire backstage area fell silent; everyone set aside their work and looked expectantly toward the back entrance. In the world of arts, within the General Union, Qianjin was a benchmark for the Northern District.
“Ah! Your spot is Qianjin’s,” a round-faced comrade saw the General Union Dance Troupe getting ready in makeup and changing clothes and covered her mouth in surprise, “You… How can you take their spot?”
It was the best spot in the entire backstage area, nearest to the stage.
Qianjin’s crowd was larger, entering in a grand procession, led by Gu Jun who, as soon as he entered, elicited a flurry of quiet gasps from the female comrades. He was a popular male singer with albums to his na and also one of the mainstays of Qianjin.
Bai Oulan stood beside Gu Jun, dressed in brand-new clothes, her deanor modest and eyes lowered, appearing very unassuming. Yet her snow-white skin and aloof aura still outshone everyone else, turning them into ugly ducklings by comparison.
The na Bai Tian’e suited her indeed; whoever ca up with it was clever!
