Chapter 64: Tearing Off Lin Qingyan ‘s Hypocritical Face
Translator: _Min_
A few seconds of silence enveloped the surroundings.
Lin Qingyan suddenly looked up, a frozen smile on her face, staring at Mu Qingng in disbelief.
Li Jingchen, who was in his thirties and considered a senior in the entertainnt industry, was actually addressing this woman as a senior? Mu Qingng was slightly puzzled.
She glanced at Li Jingchen for a few monts and then smiled courteously, “I’m sorry, sir, may I know who you are?”
Li Jingchen montarily blanked out but quickly regained his composure.
He looked sowhat embarrassed but remained respectful, “I had the privilege of eting Senior Mu once in the city of Sijiu. You may not rember .”
“I see,” Mu Qingng nodded, “It’s rare for to make public appearances; it’s quite impressive that you still rember .”
Aware that Mu Qingng preferred to keep a low profile, Li Jingchen chose not to press further, “I apologize for the earlier oversight, Senior Mu. I hope you won’t take offense.”
“I just had so free ti and thought I’d step out,” Mu Qingng explained. “Fortunately, I ran into Miss Si outside, who allowed to co in.”
Si Fuqing didn’t show any signs of familiarity with Mu Qingng, “You’re too kind, Teacher Mu.”
“Alright, you can go about your business,” Mu Qingng smiled again, “I’ll just take a look around myself.”
Si Fuqing pocketed her hands and walked straight toward the area where the trainees were, without even glancing at Lin Qingyan, who looked sowhat stiff.
“Teacher Mu, the VIP area is this way,” Lin Qingyan flashed a perfect smile again, “Since Teacher Si is busy, let guide you there.”
“No need,” Mu Qingng’s smile faded, becoming quite distant, “I don’t like VIP areas.”
Lin Qingyan pressed her lips together, her voice softer, “Do you prefer quieter places, Teacher Mu? There’s a nice spot over there. It’s really inconsiderate of
Teacher Si to bring you in without arranging a seat for you.”
Mu Qingng suddenly stopped and fixed her gaze on Lin Qingyan.
Though she possessed the gentle deanor typical of won from the Jiangnan region, her aura beca suddenly imposing, making her even more intimidating.
Lin Qingyan involuntarily took a step back, “Teacher Mu?”
“When I was younger, I served as a music advisor for a historical drama,” Mu Qingng slightly smiled, “So people, having acted in a few such dramas, believe they’ve beco palace concubines, always scheming and playing petty tricks.”
“They fail to realize that these petty tricks only make them look like monkeys performing for an audience. Yet, they think they’re brilliant, capable of manipulating everyone, especially n.”
“I don’t like such people. Sotis, these dirty little sches backfire, and they’re the ones who end up suffering. Don’t you agree?”
After saying this, Mu Qingng distanced herself from Lin Qingyan and left for the seat that Si Fuqing had arranged for her.
Lin Qingyan stood there, her face alternating between shades of green and red, her emotions a mix of embarrassnt and annoyance.
But what predominated was regret.
How had she not encountered Mu Qingng outside and invited her in?
Such good fortune had been seized by Si Fuqing instead. She was so lucky!
As Lin Qingyan’s thoughts churned in disarray, she looked up to find Li Jingchen frowning at her.
Her heart skipped a beat, “Teacher Li, is there sothing on my face?”
Li Jingchen shook his head, “I’ll go first.”
Lin Qingyan clenched her fists, her expression turning dark.
Just as she was about to go back and give so more instructions to Mu Ye and the others, she heard a loud commotion.
“Who’s over there?” Lin Qingyan stopped, “Why all the noise?”
“Teacher Lin, it’s the Third Miss from the Zuo family,” a staff mber hurriedly explained, “She wants to go backstage, and it’s not a place just anyone can enter. We’re trying to stop her, but it’s difficult.”
“The Third Miss from the Zuo family?” Lin Qingyan smiled, “The Zuo family is the leading family in Lin after all. Why can’t their Third Miss go backstage? I’ll take her there myself; if anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
“This…” The staff mber hesitated for a mont, then nodded, “Alright.”
Over at the trainees’ resting area.
“I found out that Lu Yan and his team are picking ‘Mountain Ghost Ballot,”‘ Xu Xiyun exclaid excitedly, “Our style is different from theirs, so we won’t be overshadowed.”
Si Fuqing was currently patting the head of a certain Pixiu-like creature.
Xie Yu’s gaze followed her movents.
However, when his eyes landed on the small skirt worn over Little Bai’s posterior, he paused for a mont in silence.
Xu Xiyun burst out laughing, “Hahaha, Teacher Si, the little skirt you put on your dog is just ridiculous! And it’s baby pink! Is it a boy or a girl, and how old is it? Why would you choose this color?”
“What’s wrong?” Si Fuqing shot him a glance, ‘Even if it’s lived for hundreds of vears, if I sav wear Dink. it has to wear Dink. Understand?”
To cover up the fact that the Pixiu-like creature had no butt, she had no choice but to sew so little skirts for it to wear.
She truly had spent all her fortune on this dog-like Pixiu.
“Oh, oh, oh,” Xu Xiyun imdiately beca serious. He extended his hand,
“Hello, little doggie, want to shake hands?”
Little Bai: ‘
How dare you!
I’m a Pixiu!
This hand-shaking is insulting to whose intelligence?
Feeling wronged, Little Bai reluctantly extended its paw to shake hands with Xu Xiyun.
Deep in thought, Xie Yu also extended his hand.
Little Bai’s eyes lit up.
He looks sowhat like my dog-owner.
I like him!
Without hesitation, Little Bai let go of Xu Xiyun’s hand and cheerfully pounced towards Xie Yu.
Xie Yu casually petted its head.
“Why does it pounce on you and not ?” Xu Xiyun was frustrated, “I just took a bath today.”
Xie Yu absentmindedly stroked Little Bai’s luxurious fur, “Perhaps, it’s also judges people by the face.”
Xu Xiyun:
Little Bai let out a comfortable whine.
Much gentler than the dog-owner.
“I’m going to pick up a friend,” Si Fuqing stood up, “Xie Yu, get ready. You’re performing the opening the song shortly.”
Xie Yu nodded.
“Hey, Teacher Si, are you just going to leave the little dog here?” Xu Xiyun asked, “What if soone steals it and mistreats it?”
Si Fuqing paused and looked at him with a complex expression, “Well, that person would really be sothing. If you run into them, you must tell .”
Although Little Bai’s powers had been drained and it couldn’t return to its original form, a spiritually aware creature like a Pixiu wasn’t sothing just anyone could ss with.
Little Bai puffed out its tiny chest proudly, signaling that it was the best.
Xu Xiyun:
Why did he feel like he’d just been looked down upon by a dog?
Outside the sports stadium.
The sun was blazing today. Jiang Changning wore a baseball cap and pulled her hair into a high ponytail.
“Ningning,” Si Fuqing approached and grasped her hand sincerely, “I’ve been looking forward to your arrival.”
Jiang Changning handed over the prepared lunch box and humd lightly,
“You were looking forward to the food, weren’t you?”
“Ah, you found out,” Si Fuqing said with a grin, “But my feelings for you, Ningning, are genuine. You’re so beautiful and virtuous; if I could marry you, it would be a lifeti blessing.”
Jiang Changning fell silent.
She suspected that Si Fuqing might have lost her mind.
But even if so, she was rather endearing.
Jiang Changning put on her mask and sat in a corner of the audience section.
The show would start at two, and by one forty, all the cara equipnt had been set up.
Although the live stream was still pitch-black, nurous fans were already waiting, and the screen was filled with a dense stream of comnts.
[Third episode, Xie Yu, walk with you on the flowery path, can’t wait for your ascension to stardom!]
[Waiting for Xie Yu to appear! !! ]
[How much longer till it starts? I’m withering from waiting.]
[First ti watching the live stream, so excited! Will we see Xie Yu’s chiseled abs and chest?]
Ever since the incident with Xu Ruotong, Xie Yu’s fans were no longer passive; they had occupied the comnt section like a thunderstorm, leaving Lu Yan’s fans powerless to fight back.
Backstage.
“Get ready; it’s about to start,” the planner tapped his earpiece, “Have you briefed the trainees that the production team is focusing on? We’ll need a few of them for so scenes, and the cara will shift to them.”
The director nodded, “I’ve inford them.”
Of course, the trainees that the production team was heavily promoting needed to be notified in advance.
The producer sighed in relief, “Good, we must be vigilant today to ensure the program runs smoothly.”
“Director, Producer, we have a problem!” Just then, a staff mber ran in, panting and anxious, “Group 7’s dance costus and competition outfits have all disappeared.”
The planner frowned and stood up abruptly, “What’s going on? Which group is
Group 7? Do we have backups? Why aren’t you preparing them?”
“It’s Xie Yu’s group,” the staff mber said, sweating profusely, “Xie Yu is also performing the the song, and he’s the center!”
How could they proceed with the the song performance without the center?
When the producer heard this, he paused and sat back down.
“Ah, it’s Group 7,” he said, “In that case, let’s change the center to Lu Yan..”
