Chapter 235: Chapter 239: The New Musical Chapter 235: Chapter 239: The New Musical “Really?” Yang Wenying asked coldly.

Zhou Xuelian shuddered and quickly professed her stance, “Yes, chief, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to undertake the sanitation work together with Comrade Qin Cuifen.”

“Then return to the ranks!”

“Yes! Thank you, chief!” Zhou Xuelian and Qin Cuifen exchanged glances before quickly rejoining the ranks.

After dealing with their matter, the wall-squatting in the corner was also nearly done. Everyone was so tired that their legs shook uncontrollably, and their movements had slowed down significantly.

“Return to the ranks!”

“Thank you, chief!”

A few people swiftly took their places in line, with Sheng Ning, tall and slender, and Chen Huaying automatically taking the lead positions in the back row.

Yang Wenying’s ability to lecture was well known throughout the entire General Union Song and Dance Troupe, capable of frightening everyone into silence.

After circling the troop twice, Yang Wenying expressionlessly announced significant news. “The troupe has decided to rehearse a musical called ‘Hope Field’. From three hundred female comrades, thirty will be selected, and of those thirty, only three will be leads.”

The training room erupted with numerous exclamations; many were so excited they trembled.

Musicals, which they had only heard about in television news, unseen and reportedly popular abroad!

But what excited them even more followed, “Whether we can defeat the Qianjin Dance Troupe depends on this new musical.”

My God! To defeat the Qianjin Dance Troupe, how formidable would that be?

Simply becoming a lead meant a guaranteed promotion.

Comrades like Lu Xiaoshuang, who had always been outstandingly skilled and stable, were all brimming with confidence.

Sheng Ning heard this news without much emotional fluctuation, having already known about it from her previous life. ‘Hope Field’ was indeed formidable; it was the very performance that established Qin Cuifen’s footing and allowed her to recognize her biological mother.

From that moment on, her fate and Qin Cuifen’s diverged drastically.

One soared high above the clouds, and the other fell into the dust.

“Remember! Perform well.” Yang Wenying finished her lecture and left, but Qiu Bai stayed behind.

She had a gentle and graceful demeanor, resembling a prestigious lady from 1930s Shanghai, standing before everyone with a serene smile, holding a book in her arms.

“‘Hope Field’ is not just about showcasing ethnic dances; it incorporates the essence of Western dance as well. I hope everyone performs well in the coming month.” After pausing, she flipped open the book in her hand and quickly scanned through, then announced, “Now I will announce the names of those selected for the ‘Hope Field’ musical.”

“Hai Lan!”

“Who is Hai Lan?”

“Do we even have that person in our dance troupe?”

This unfamiliar name left everyone confused, looking at each other in bafflement.

Hearing the name Hai Lan turned Sheng Ning’s complexion pale as paper, and she glanced at Chen Huaying in panic, alarming the latter.

“What’s wrong with you?” Chen Huaying asked worriedly.

“I’m fine!” She was just too shocked; in her previous life, Hai Lan had gone to the Qianjin Dance Troupe, so why had she come to their troupe in this life?

This was completely unexpected, and everything she had known from her previous life was slowly changing. As she changed her own destiny, the destinies of others were also shifting.

This was definitely not good news for her; it meant things were slipping out of her control.

“Sheng Ning, Lu Xiaoshuang, Chen Huaying, Qin Cuifen, Lu Dabao, Zhou Dongmei, Sun Huahua…”

As the list was completed, the troop invisibly split into two factions.
