Chapter 7: Are you done performing?
The system hid in the corner, "I'm also doing this for your own good, otherwise, in a month you will just..."
Su Yuqing choked up.
Just then, Gu Zhan called her. Su Yuqing looked over, "I have no objection, I can do anything."
Gu Zhan was somewhat surprised that she had actually heard him, "Then how are you with dancing and vocal?"
Rumors had it that Su Yuqing was a bona fide vase, with tons of negative press and without any special skills.
But through today, he subconsciously felt that the rumors were unreliable.
"Start by telling me your choreography ideas." Su Yuqing jumped down from the windowsill.
Cool and efficient.
"I was just discussing with God He, and we were thinking that since the song is quite upbeat..."
As Su Yuqing listened and nodded, Gu Zhan wondered to himself, you seem to know quite a lot.
The original Su Yuqing naturally wouldn't have known, but she did.
She'd been fighting her way through the entertainment industry for over a decade, and had put effort into learning both dancing and singing.
After all, actors also have stages.
"Boom boom boom..."
As the three of them were discussing, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted them.
"Come in," Gu Zhan said.
"Miss Su, your family has an emergency and they want you to return home," said Su Yuqing's following PD.
Because of the live broadcast, Su Yuqing's cell phone was in her hotel room, and had long been turned off.
The Su Family had called the program group.
The next time period would not be broadcast live; the live performance would start tomorrow night at seven o'clock.
In other words, during this period, the artists were free.
Su Yuqing lazily lifted her eyelid, "I still have to rehearse."
With one sentence, the following PD understood, nodded his head, and turned to leave. Director Lin was right; Su Yuqing seemed to have gotten smarter.
Director Lin's original words: If Su Yuqing had any brains, she wouldn't leave at this crucial moment.
"Su Yuqing, aren't you afraid of the Su Family..." Gu Zhan started to say but then realized it was inappropriate.
If Su Yuqing were afraid of the Su Family, she wouldn't have spoken like that on the deck yesterday. Such bravery.
The unexpected admiration caused Su Yuqing's mouth to twitch.
She knew the Su Family wouldn't give up on causing her trouble, but she hadn't expected them to be so persistent.
That afternoon, Su Chengxi had entered the program group, claiming she would continue recording the first episode of the show.
They bought a marketing account to capture the moment she joined the group and even generated a wave of praise for her professionalism.
Online, her fans set the tone, with top comments uniformly being 'Admire sister', 'Sister is so professional' and the like.
At the same time, the Jiang Family and the Su Family jointly held a press conference, with Ou Yulan representing the Su Family.
At the press conference, she expressed her deep pain, saying that Su Yuqing had always been full of lies since she was young, possibly because of being a stepdaughter, and she always wanted to get attention from others.
Ou Yulan sighed deeply, her face filled with self-reproach and shame, "It's all my fault as a mother that I let Yuqing grow up like this... It's my fault; I haven't fulfilled a mother's responsibilities."
"This time, it's also because Chengxi's birthday gift was a villa, and her birthday is coming up. She's throwing a tantrum with me, which involuntarily involved Chengxi and Chenan..."
"She's my daughter, how could I not love her, but she, sigh..."
The helplessness and difficulty of a mother, along with self-blame, heartache, and frustration, were all vividly displayed.
With the manipulation of the internet water army, the online public opinion flipped in an instant.
The majority was of people cursing Su Yuqing.
They said she was shameless and carelessly attention-seeking, scheming, and framing her own sister!
Defaming Jiang Chenan, her heart deserves to be condemned!
Some also said, being spoiled by the Su Family for so many years, she's never satisfied, actually daring to compare herself with the Su Family Little Princess. She's nothing but a burden, utterly lacking self-awareness.
From a young age, lying was second nature to her, even her biological mother couldn't handle her, truly a complete Lying Spirit.
The online world was full of curses, and Su Yuqing's Weibo was once again overwhelmed.
But she knew nothing about all this; she was in the middle of dance rehearsal.
Gu Zhan was surprised, "With your modifications, it seems to have improved a lot, it feels more fluid now."
"Didn't expect you had it in you."
Su Yuqing laughed lightly, "This is nothing, just the basics."
Gu Zhan: "..."
He Suyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Practice for one more hour and then take a rest."
Neither of them objected.
They were making fast progress, in about an hour they had mostly figured out the song, and the rest of the time was spent working on the dance moves.
They had another whole day tomorrow, which would be enough.
But because of the ice, all three tried to stay in place as much as possible, still, they kept falling over.
As for the moves, they'd deal with them tomorrow.
After finishing the rehearsal, the three emerged from the practice room, and in the corridor, they happened to run into Su Chengxi and Jiang Chenan who had returned.
As Su Chengxi was there, naturally, Jiang Chenan had to accompany her.
Upon seeing each other, the atmosphere was tense and confrontational.
Jiang Chenan looked at Su Yuqing with a particularly gloomy expression, "Su Yuqing, you've really got some nerve!"
"Sister, you really went too far this time." Su Chengxi sighed, her gaze on Su Yuqing bearing a hint of reluctance and reproach, "It's also my fault, what am I competing with you for? You want the villa, I'll let you have it."
While they were speaking, others who heard the noise came out of their practice rooms, and they happened to hear Su Chengxi say this.
"Tsk, just a stepdaughter and she dares to ask for a villa?" Xi Yanhong displayed his sharp-tongued nature, looking Su Yuqing up and down.
"Su Yuqing, if you want a villa, you could ask me." His eyes revealed a profound meaning.
Everyone present had clawed their way through the entertainment industry; they all understood what he meant and couldn't help but take pleasure in Su Yuqing's predicament.
"Teacher Xi, Yuqing is my sister, I hope for the Su family's sake, you won't make things difficult for her." Su Yuqing hadn't spoken yet, but Su Chengxi had already stepped in to defend her.
Her face wore the look of a good sister, "Although she, well, tends to lie sometimes, she's still part of the Su family, my sister."
She was intent on cementing Su Yuqing's reputation as a habitual liar.
In the past, Su Yuqing used to lie often, even faking her academic grades, which got exposed by others.
With just a little maneuvering, she could turn yesterday's situation around.
"You might consider her your sister, but she definitely doesn't consider you hers." A disdainful voice suddenly rang out.
Xia Chuwie.
She looked at Su Yuqing with disgust, annoyed. Today during the live broadcast, Su Yuqing claimed she was the real Imperial Family, and even insinuated that she bullied and squeezed out team members, what nerve.
"Don't talk about my sister like that, Teacher Xia; she's just young." Su Chengxi acted as if she couldn't bear to hear her sister spoken of in such a way.
She bit her lower lip, "My sister just doesn't understand things yet, but I believe she will grow up."
After speaking, she looked at Su Yuqing with a gentle and soft voice, "Yuqing, mom called you, why didn't you answer? You don't know how worried she was about you."
Everyone turned their attention to Su Yuqing, most of them looking at her with disdain.
Su Yuqing lifted her eyelids, her gaze, tinged with depth, settling on Su Chengxi, the hypocrite, "Are you done performing?"
