Chapter 45: I Don’t Take On Apprenticeships
“Mom, Shen Xi is a great dancer. The teachers boast of her gift every day. She’ll surely make it to the top.” Speaking in a soft and weak tone, Su Ruowan enviously added.
“Wanwan, don’t bring her up.” Li Jingran put on a straight face.
With the wicked Shen Xi coming to mind, Su Mushi took a glance at his kind little sister. The re thought made his blood boil and head hot. “An evil person like her will never win, unless God goes blind.”
As the judge, Su Muyan was not going to let Shen Xi win on his watch.
Su Mushi himself had given orders for the TV station’s crew to give Shen Xi, that brat, a hard ti during the preparation period. This included refusal to paint her face and ssing with her dance costu.
“Got it.” Su Ruowan nestled against Li Jingran’s arms, escaping their eyes as she curled her lips in glee.
She was the daughter of the Su family, the only daughter of the Su family.
Shen Xi was nothing. In the eyes of Mom, Dad and the Su brothers, she was less than a dog!
…
Using a little more than ten minutes, Shen Xi managed to alter an entire dress.
“D*mn, it’s so beautiful!” Song Wenye swore out of excitent. Owing to her limited vocabulary, she had no words to describe it.
“D*mn, that’s beautiful!”
“D*mn, it is really beautiful!”
Her besties echoed the sa views one after another.
Shen Xi swept a glance at them with disdain. Since illiteracy was no joke, she earnestly replied, “Please focus on your studies.”
Song Wenye circled her before clapping her hands all excited. “A celestial! Celestial, please allow
to give you a kiss.”
Shen Xi grabbed ahold of her jaw, trying to keep a distance from Song Wenye.
All the contestants in the dressing room had their eye on Shen Xi. Their eyes spoke of wonder and admiration.
At first, they had their preconceptions due to her earlier statent but now they were thoroughly impressed by her outstanding composure in an hour of peril.
The contestants had heard about Shen Xi. This girl was a great talent amongst China’s younger generation and had won many awards.
As veterans, they were comforted to see budding talent and hoped to see more of her kind in China.
This young lady was neither conceited nor rash, showing an ability to remain calm in the face of mounting pressure as though nothing could put her down. Now this was real talent.
It never crossed the crew mbers’ minds that Shen Xi could alter her own dress. Lowering their heads, they sneaked a glance at the managing assistant. What were they supposed to do now?
The managing assistant was fuming. What more could they do, seeing that they did all they could? It never occurred to them that Shen Xi was this incredible. She took care of her makeup, look, and outfit. They were out of ideas.
The designer never imagined that this young lady would be able to redesign and give new life to a torn and unsalvageable dress in such a short ti.
The design of the dress completely ditched its original style; and with lace and rhinestones added, the dress embodied the charming corn poppy swaying in the breeze, portraying the coy beauty between fragility and leanness.
He had to admit that the young lady had talent in design. She was at the out-of-reach height that even he was ashad of his own unseemliness.
The rehearsal was soon over as going through the course only took half an hour.
Shen Xi had just made it back to backstage when she was stopped by a girl as noble as a white swan.
Haughty and beautiful, the girl in her twenties stared at Shen Xi. “Shen Xi, my teacher wants to take on you as my junior in apprenticeship. Co with
after the competition.”
Shen Xi answered in a flat tone, “I don’t take on apprenticeships.”
The girl was in disbelief. “Don’t you know who I am?”
Shen Xi threw her a question. “Do I need to?”
