She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 236: Chapter 240 Ballet Dancer Hai Lan Chapter 236: Chapter 240 Ballet Dancer Hai Lan Qiu Bai spoke as if she hadn’t seen anything, continuing, “The current list is not final yet, I hope those not selected will not give up lightly, because you never know when an opportunity might come your way. And those selected, don’t get too happy too soon; if you don’t dance well, I can replace you at any time.”

“Yes!”

“Dismissed! Those who are auditioning, come to the first practice room from now on!”

“Yes!” Qiu Bai hurried off to select musicians and singers.

As soon as she left, the practice room erupted into a buzz of voices loud enough to drown someone.

“Who is Hai Lan?”

“Cuifen, congratulations, I didn’t expect you to be selected.”

“How come we didn’t get any news about such an important performance earlier!”

Everyone had their suspicions, but Qin Cuifen’s heart burst with joy. She had thought staying at the General Union Dance Troupe was already good enough, and now she had the chance to participate in Hope Field.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise, yet it also proved her merit. Unlike some others, who thought they were great just because of their looks.

Sheng Ning stood alone, lost in thought, and did not join the ongoing discussions. She still looked somewhat lonely and isolated as before.

Wu Youli was in the drama troupe, Liu Yilan was in the singing group, and Zhang Hongmei had made new friends.

Chen Huaying and Lu Dabao were busy arguing. After a long dispute, they turned around and noticed that Sheng Ning was still lost in thought.

“What are you spacing out for? Why aren’t you practicing your dance?”

Lu Dabao popped his head out from behind Chen Huaying, laughing like a cat that stole cream, “Hahaha… I knew it! Her diligence and hard work are all just for show.”

“Shut your mouth!” Chen Huaying hit him on the head, further infuriating Lu Dabao.

“Everyone quiet down! Hai Lan is coming; don’t you feel a bit of crisis?” Sheng Ning yelled, irritated by the noise.

The others instantly fell silent. Qin Cuifen became wiser this time. Shooting the first bird, she would never be foolish again.

“So you do know Hai Lan!” Chen Huaying crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows in surprise, looking around arrogantly, “It’s strange that Hai Lan would choose to come here!” It was said that the Qianjin Dance Troupe’s Su Yun’s Team had extended an olive branch to her long ago, mainly because Hai Lan had always liked Meng Ping and wanted to marry into the Meng Family, naturally needing to form a good rapport with Su Yun.

“That’s easy, she must be here for the lead role in Hope Field!” blurted Lu Dabao, hitting the nail on the head.

“Exactly!” Chen Huaying realized, “The news is indeed well-informed; this must have been decided long ago!”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Sheng Ning hurriedly signaled her to be quiet.

Chen Huaying sheepishly made a silly face.

“After talking so much, who exactly is Hai Lan?” Lu Xiaoshuang voiced everyone’s question.

“She graduated from the Capital Dance Academy, has been dancing ballet since she was young!”

Lu Dabao added, “I heard she’s exceptionally talented.”

The practice room fell silent for three seconds, their curiosity about Hai Lan growing.

*******

At noon, news about the Hope Field Musical spread throughout the entire General Union, even reaching the President and the head of the Inspection Department who called Yang Wenying for a discussion.

The Qianjin Dance Troupe also received the news.

In the afternoon meeting, Su Yun wore a striking uniform, her epaulets gleaming under the lights.

The meeting, hosted by the head of the General Inspectorate, was originally about discussing overseas performance plans, but somehow the conversation shifted to the General Union.
