Chapter 270: Chapter 275: Someone is Looking for You

Qiu Bai was the most easy-going person in the entire Song and Dance Troupe, especially when with Yang Wenying. Most of the time, it was she who persuaded Yang Wenying not to lose her temper. Now, she was so enraged and spoke such harsh words that she completely stunned everyone.

“Did you hear that?” Qiu Bai asked loudly.

“We heard you!” everyone replied in unison.

“Zhou Dongmei, did you hear that?” Qiu Bai looked at Zhou Dongmei, her gaze sharp.

“I heard you!” Zhou Dongmei bit her lip and replied stubbornly.

Qiu Bai shook her head in disappointment, “It seems you still don’t understand!” She used to think highly of Zhou Dongmei, but her performance had increasingly disappointed her.

Narrow-minded, jealous, and worse, arrogant. How could such a person become an outstanding Soul Dancer in the future?

Tears instantly welled up in Zhou Dongmei’s eyes. She wasn’t foolish and knew she might lose a great future because of a momentary impulse.

Everyone could hear the disappointment in Qiu Bai’s tone; some reveled in her misfortune, some secretly regretted it, and some just enjoyed the drama.

“Sheng Ning, did you hear that?” Qiu Bai turned to look at Sheng Ning.

Their eyes met in the air; there was none of Zhou Dongmei’s resentment, stubbornness, self-contentment, or sense of superiority. Instead, there was purity, cleanness, and clarity.

Qiu Bai nodded in satisfaction.

“I heard you, teacher!” Sheng Ning replied respectfully, nodding her head.

“Good! This musical drama is a first in the country, and it has taken a lot of my effort, so I told Captain Yang that success is the only option. If anyone is not up to par, don’t blame me for eliminating them.” Qiu Bai’s graceful demeanor added a hint of sternness. “Don’t think that the General Union Song and Dance Troupe can’t function without you. I can pull people from the Qianjin Song and Dance Troupe or directly from the Dance College. In any case… you could be replaced at any time!”

“Yes!” At once, everyone, wound up like clocks, tensed their nerves, eager to perform well.

“I’m giving you a week to develop rapport and familiarize yourselves with the script. During this period, all present here will pause all comfort performances. Each person’s role will have guidance from a teacher, so give it your all!”

“Thank you, teacher!”

The War Wolf Rescue Team had many tasks waiting for Xu Qigang to handle when he returned, and now that a critical responsible person was out studying, his workload was even heavier.

After spending the entire day busy, Xu Qigang personally drove the jeep to deliver the items entrusted by the Sheng family to the General Union.

This time, he came for a personal matter, so he didn’t drive through the gate but stopped outside and went to the transmission room to ask someone to relay a message.

With his tall and long legs, he attracted attention wherever he went. His legendary status at the General Union made it impossible for him to keep a low profile.

Xu Qigang slightly frowned, feeling it would be better to keep his distance from the President of the General Union in the future.

“Hello, could you please call Comrade Sheng Ning of the Song and Dance Troupe for me?”

“Captain Xu, long time no see.” The gatekeeper greeted spiritedly.

Xu Qigang quickly greeted back, “You are too kind, sir!”

“Are you looking for someone? I’ll go call for you!” The cheerful gatekeeper went out.

Waiting idly and not wanting to draw too much attention by standing there, Xu Qigang simply stepped out of the gate and lit a cigarette on the roadside to smoke in silence.

The gatekeeper ran to the courtyard of the General Union Song and Dance Troupe and ultimately found Sheng Ning in the physical training room.

“Someone’s looking for you!”
