Chapter 198: Money Is Everything!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tang Beibei was indeed busy. She was busy with the choreography of their performance on New Year’s Eve.

The New Year’s Eve party was a school-wide event.

However, when Fu Jin asked Tang Beibei to sign up for the New Year’s Eve performance, it was not like they would get a spot just by signing up. They would have to compete among their classmates first.

Selection would happen within each class first before each school pick their final representatives.

Tang Beibei’s head hurt slightly when she heard about the complicated process to get on the show.

When she and Ruan Qi signed up, they found out that several other students in their class had also signed up.

It was indeed a good opportunity to show off one’s skills in front of all the teachers and students in a show that was open to the public.

Once they were selected to perform on stage, the school would give each performer extra credits as a reward.

Most importantly, if the performance was particularly outstanding, they would bring it along when the school participated in off-campus activities.

A small stage could also present many opportunities.

After Fu Jin analyzed the pros and cons with them, he threw out a shocking piece of news.

He would also sign up.

Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei looked at each other before they looked up at the sky with hurt. Not just with hurt, but sorrow.

Fu Jin’s skills was obvious to all. Ordinary people were no match for him!

“If you sign up, why do we even bother?” Ruan Qi complained.

Fu Jin chuckled. “Me? I’m not signing up as part of the class. It’s a special application put in by teachers. As for you, you’ll have to fight for a spot yourself.”

“What I mean is that 1 get a direct pass to perform at the New Year’s Eve show while you’ll have to fight for a spot. I said 1 will also sign up just to tease you.” Tang Beibei patted her little heart. “You scared me. If you compete with us, I may as well surrender now.”

The skills difference between her and Fu Jin was too great. Even if she danced her best, she would still lose.

Legend had it that Fu Jin started dancing at the age of three and had trained with his favorite teacher for sixteen or seventeen years.

He had even formed his own professional dance troupe. With his skills, he could PK professional teachers who were much older than him.

He was a true expert!

“Beibei, you must have more self-confidence. You don’t even know how much potential you have. If you think so highly of me and I admire you so much, you should be able to see your own merits.” Fu Jin said seriously.

Tang Beibei thought for a few seconds and replied seriously, “I may be as good as you one day. It would take a long time, but 1 look forward to it.”

Ruan Qi chimed in immediately, “Mie too!”

Fu Jin added, “1 saw the video you guys posted online. Let me manage it for you. When you make money in the future, we’ll split it 50-50.”

Tang Beibei still didn’t know if they would make money from posting videos.

“Fu Jin, we don’t know if we’ll make money.”

Fu Jin crossed his arms and said to them, “1 forgot to tell you. Apart from my professional dance troupe, I also own a media company.”

“Many of the dancers 1 train are managed by the media company. The company is not big. It’s been in business for more than a year and it had already made two to three hundred million yuan.”

His tone was light, not because he was conceited or arrogant, but because he really did not care about one or two hundred million yuan.

“Boss, please give us strength!”

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi were surprised. They put their palms together and looked at Fu Jin expectantly.

Fu Jin chuckled and pretended to be mysterious as he whispered, “Don’t tell people that I’m the behind-the-scenes boss of a media company. It’s still a secret.”

Tang Beibei was puzzled. “Then why did you tell us?”

Fu Jin stroked his chin and smiled at her. “I’ll wait for you to be as good as me.

Then, I’ll train you to become my partner. So, you must work hard, okay?”

“….” Tang Beibei wanted to take back her words.

Ruan Qi blinked her starry eyes. “Will I be able to make a lot of money by becoming your partner?”

Fu Jin pulled a long face. “Don’t think about money now. Your first step is to win a spot to perform at the New Year’s Eve show.”

Tang Beibei made a fist as she thought about how she would make money.

“Ruan Qi, we must work hard to make money!”

“Money is everything!”

Ruan Qi bumped fist with Tang Beibei like two warriors filled with fighting spirit.

However, they encountered difficulties when they started training.

They weren’t allowed in the school’s dance studio and they couldn’t practice at Fu Jin’s dance studio because Fu Jin said the training rooms at his dance studio were for troupe business only.

The two of them searched for a long time, but they still couldn’t find a place where they could play music without disturbing others, also where no one could disturb their dance practice.

They bumped into Song Kai on their way. He was on his way back to his dormitory after playing basketball. Song Kai saw their hanging heads and depressed faces, so he bounced the ball around them.

“I’ve already scared away your tormenters. Tell me, what made you guys so sad?”

Tang Beibei told Song Kai about their New Year’s Eve performance. Song Kai smiled brightly, a smile that swept away the gloominess from the past few days.

“That’s easy. Go to the TCM clinic. It’s empty when we are not having any activities there.”

“But, but that classroom is right next to the autopsy room.” Ruan Qi’s scalp went numb.

She had heard about the TCM clinic but she never set foot in it because it was next to the autopsy room, and there were a few well-preserved corpses in formalin in the autopsy room.

Moreover, they needed a place for dance practice, which happened mostly after classes when there was almost no one around. They would be scared to death.

Song Zhou thought for a moment. “I’ll be your guardian angel. You guys practice, and I’ll write my thesis there.”

“That works!” With a handsome man around, Ruan Qi was no longer afraid.

Tang Beibei felt slightly bad. “Senior Song Kai, won’t we be wasting your time?” “Don’t worry. You guys practice your dance. I’ll write my thesis with my headphones on. We won’t disturb each other.” Song Kai carried his basketball with one hand and wiped sweat off his forehead with his other hand.

“Let’s go. Don’t waste time.”

Ruan Qi held Tang Beibei’s arm as they walked to the TCM clinic.

The classroom was very big. Although there were no mirrors, the two of them could video record their practice and check if there was anything wrong with their dance steps.

Song Kai sat at a side bench and turned on his laptop. He wanted to write his thesis, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the dancing Tang Beibei.

Tang Beibei looked very lively when she danced. She was like a flying little elf, very cute and beautiful!

After more than an hour, the two of them finished their choreography. Now, they just needed to practice hard.

However, Tang Beibei received a message from Fu Jin saying that a teacher was coming to the dance studio to teach a class. He asked them to go over, or they would miss the teacher.

The two of them quickly packed their things and said goodbye to Song Kai.

Song Kai also packed his things, locked the door, and left with them.

“It’ll take more than half an hour to get to the dance studio by bus. 1’11 drive you there.”

“We are taking up too much of your time. We’ll get a taxi.” Tang Beibei said.

Song Kai frowned slightly. He was unhappy and his tone was a little reproachful when he said, “Little Junior Beibei, must you treat me like an outsider?”

Tang Beibei waved her hand and explained earnestly, “Senior Song Kai, you’re engaged. If you keep helping us, it’ll cause misunderstandings. Qiqi and I will just take a taxi.”

Song Kai took a deep breath. “Little Junior Beibei, the engagement has been called off. I have nothing to do with Lu Linlin anymore. 1 want to help my friend and I don’t care what others think.”

Tang Beibei looked at him in surprise.

“Why is the engagement suddenly called off?”

Song Kai’s lips twitched as he answered seriously, “Maybe because I wanted to let myself off the hook. Maybe because there’s already someone accompanying me on my difficult journey.”
