Chapter 1798: Chapter 1875: Lady Linglong’s Creator
Qiu Bai’s tone was always so composed and unhurried, bringing a spring breeze to everyone. He carried a graceful and elegant smile on his lips, making others feel ashamed of themselves.
"Impossible!" Mona screeched, "Qiu Bai, stop lying for the sake of your apprentice’s reputation. We’re all comrades, always remember our identity."
"It seems you’re questioning my character." Even as Qiu Bai spoke, his expression remained unchanged, but the implication to those who heard was entirely different.
In the second row, Wenyin suddenly stood up, sneering sarcastically, "Ha! You have the audacity to question Qiu Bai’s character? Must all good things fall into your lap for it to be true and everything others say false?"
"Yang Wenyin, don’t make a fuss over nothing."
"Am I making a fuss? Aren’t you talking about yourself?"
"It’s you, it’s definitely you."
"Enough! The performance is starting, everyone quiet down." Sheng Ning interrupted, her voice loud yet heard by everyone. All eyes focused on her, filled with surprise, bewilderment, and some schadenfreude.
Shen Feihu whispered, "Qigang, this is not good, your wife is going to suffer here!"
"It won’t happen, Victoria Opera House is hers, ’Lady Linglong’ is her creation."
Shen Feihu was stunned for three seconds, "Oh! No wonder she wants to divorce you."
Xu Qigang turned his head, eyes icy cold, fists clenching with a crackling sound.
The stage lights shone brightly, and the audience and judges instantly quieted down. Sheng Ning also sat down, with a whole row of lights shining on the first row of the judge’s table. She twirled the pen in her hand, focused entirely on watching the performance. Whenever she saw something amazing or lacking, she would quickly jot it down in her notebook.
She knew many around her were secretly watching her, yet she merely gave a faint smile.
The entire election lasted two hours, featuring dazzling programs not only from the General Union Dance Troupe but also from ten other outstanding artistic groups.
These were all programs Yang Wenyin simply couldn’t refuse, occupying forty percent of all participants.
After the event ended, Sheng Ning took her notebook and went backstage first, offering encouragement to her team.
"Everyone performed really well, the ten days of preparation weren’t wasted; the foundation was solid and I am very satisfied." She believed good work should be acknowledged without hesitation.
The cheering crowd listened, faces blushing with pride.
"Thank you, teacher."
"Teacher, you’ve worked hard."
"You’ve all worked hard; the detailed list will be published in three days via the Worker’s Report. Look forward to it!"
"Thank you..." A grand round of cheers erupted from three rows, over a hundred people clapped enthusiastically. Meanwhile, members of the other ten teams gathered in familiar clusters, curiously watching.
As their own team leader approached, they immediately crowded around.
"Who is that woman, teacher? She seems quite impressive."
The team leader looked complicatedly over, just catching Sheng Ning’s departing silhouette. "This is the new Song and Dance Troupe instructor for the General Union, also the creator of ’Lady Linglong.’"
"The one from Broadway?"
"The representative work from Victoria Opera House?"
"Yes!"
Lu Xiaoshuang was chatting with Yang Xiaoman, their proximity to others meant they heard the conversation from over there in full.
"Were you just talking about Sheng Ning?" Yang Xiaoman asked in disbelief.
