Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ai Chen's Choice
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Teacher's Expectations
"Chen'er, why are you in a daze?" In class, Su Manman saw Ai Chen's eyes staring directly at the teacher, and felt that something was wrong.
"I'm not in a daze, it's just that I love to wander today. Ai Chen's face was slightly sad, the last two live broadcasts, the speed of popularity has increased significantly, she calculated, the number of new fans tonight will exceed 1,000, it's time to start the lottery. But Li Yue is not in the magic capital now, and she has lost her backbone all of a sudden.
"Do you miss your senior? It's only been a day since you see you, and you've lost your soul like this? I see, you hurry up and marry your senior. β
"Manman, what are you talking about! I'm worried about the night's live broadcast. Ai Chen raised his small fist and hammered Su Manman's shoulder.
"Ouch, my heart hurts so much, Ai Chen, you have changed your mind, you only see the newcomer laughing, and you don't see the old person crying......"
"Ahem. The teacher on the podium saw the two girls playing underneath and coughed softly as a reminder.
"It's over, I've been targeted by Master Su, Ai Chen, you are her heart, don't worry, I'll be miserable......"
"Manman, don't say it. Ai Chen's lips pursed. She is most afraid that Teacher Su will find her to "talk to her heart", this teacher, nicknamed "Mrs. Su", is best at poking the softest place in your heart with the gentlest language.
Fang Yun is nearly fifty years old, and for some reason, she has never married. Fang Yun usually treats students harshly, at least no one in the dance academy can stand out, coincidentally, she has the same surname as the "extermination master" in a martial arts novel, so many students call her "Fang Shitai" in private.
In the following time, the two kept silent and listened attentively, but unfortunately, the two still failed to avoid the "arraignment" of "Mrs. Fang".
"That's it for this class, it's over. Fang Yun glanced at the classroom and said, "Ai Chen, Su Manman, you two stay for a while." β
Soon, only Su Yun and her two students were left in the huge classroom.
"Ai Chen, Su Manman, you two didn't do well in class just now. But I'm leaving you behind, and it's not just because of that. β
Ai Chen and Su Manman were like little foxes caught stealing chickens, standing in front of the teacher nervously.
"Ai Chen, when you entered the school, your professional ability was at the highest level in the whole school, of course, you are still the top student in the ballet major of our dance department, but the teacher wants to say that compared to your talent, your progress is still slower. As it is now, although you can enter the magic capital ballet, you will definitely not be able to lead the dancer. β
Ai Chen listened to Teacher Fang's words, and felt very uncomfortable. Fang Yun is right, if it weren't for Ai Chen, who started being an anchor last year, her professional level would definitely be much better than now.
However, since she came into contact with society, Ai Chen's belief as a dancer has been shaken, and she asked herself if she couldn't be like Teacher Fang Yun, and she has been working hard all her life to show her most beautiful side on the stage.
Hearing Teacher Fang say this, Ai Chen could only bite his lip and nodded.
Su Manman was secretly happy in her heart, it turned out that Master Fang was going to Ai Chen today, but before she could be complacent for a few seconds, Fang Yun's eyes looked over.
"Su Manman, you ......" Fang Yun shook his head and sighed lightly: "Manman, your appearance condition is a little worse than Ai Chen's, this is not a big problem. I don't know what happened to your child in the last year, and his body shape has changed so quickly...... When you first entered the school, you were still quite ...... Quite emaciated. β
"Teacher Fang, I don't think I'm fat, I've been controlling my weight quite well recently, I'm only one hundred and five pounds, which is very much in line with your standards. Su Manman didn't expect that Mrs. Fang would make a fuss about her figure.
"I mean, you're excellent in everything else, it's just ......" Fang Yun gestured an arc with her hand on her chest, but she seemed to think of something, and she quickly put her hand down.
"That's it, anyway, your little girl's future ambition is not to join the group, so it's not bad. β
Su Manman subconsciously lowered her head, only then did she understand what Fang Yun meant, indeed, she was much older now than when she first entered the school, and when she did some movements, the fluctuations would be very large, and this was what Fang Yun criticized.
"You can't blame me for this, you have to blame Tang Wei's bastard. Su Manman muttered quietly.
"Back to Ai Chen, now is a good opportunity. In the second half of the year, the group is going to rearrange "In the Mood for Love", I recommended you to the group, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be 100% selected, Ai Chen, from now on you have to retract your heart, you must put all your energy into practice, and strive to get a role. β
"Ah, Teacher Fang, I, can I?" Ai Chen was happy at first, and then worried. She is still very clear about her level. Ai Chen's professional level is outstanding in school, but she is not so outstanding when she arrives in the dance troupe. Moreover, now that she is still carrying the work of an anchor, the senior has invested so much in the early stage, she doesn't want Li Yue's investment to be in vain.
"Of course, Ai Chen, you have to believe in yourself. And Su Manman, during this time, you have to accompany Ai Chen to practice, if you don't have a venue, I will help you apply for a dance studio. β
"Yes, yes, there is a venue, Mr. Fang, Ai Chen has a mine at home, and he will definitely be able to help her rent a good venue. Ai Chen, you said yes, right?"
What are you kidding, if Ai Chen is chained to the dance studio, wouldn't the tens of thousands of monthly salaries promised by Li Yue be in vain? She still wants to save money to buy Tang Wei a birthday gift that she can handle. Don't look at Su Manman's mouth always teasing Li Yue, and expressing a lot of dissatisfaction with Tang Wei, that is also the deep responsibility of her love. After all, Tang Wei was the first man in her life.
Ai Chen hadn't recovered from the tangled thoughts just now, and only heard her friend ask her "yes", so she nodded subconsciously.
When Fang Yun heard this, she believed it, she nodded, and said softly: "Ai Chen, you must take advantage of this opportunity, if you can have a brilliant performance in this performance, it is not impossible to be the lead dancer after joining the group in the future." β
After the teacher left, Ai Chen's face was full of sadness, on the one hand, it was the opportunity she had dreamed of before, and on the other hand, it was the senior who had great expectations for herself, and Ai Chen fell into a dilemma for the first time in her life.
"Chen'er, don't be in a daze, let's pack up and get ready to go live broadcast, right?" Su Manman took Ai Chen's hand.
"Manman, you, you make me think about it, I'm a little confused right now. β
"What's the mess?"
"I don't know if I should listen to the teacher or not. Ai Chen pushed the hair scattered on his forehead behind his ears.
"What are you listening to, Xiao Chenchen, let me ask you, after joining the group, how much can you earn in a month?"
"I don't know...... I don't know" Ai Chen had never paid attention to these things, or rather, she didn't have much access to them.
"Sister, let me tell you, I asked the senior sister who graduated last year, her current monthly salary plus performance subsidy is 10,000 yuan, are you going to use this money to repay your parents?"
"Huh?" Ai Chen was stunned, she didn't have a direct concept of money by nature.
"Think about what Li Yue's salary is for us people, and the live broadcast dividends also let you watch the distribution by yourself, silly boy, you are already in your twenties, be realistic, what kind of dance dream do you have, it is worthless in the face of reality, oh no, it is worth 10,000 yuan?"
Su Manman was afraid that Ai Chen would be shaken, so he continued to mend the knife: "Think about our studio, the equipment in the studio, and that beautiful car, do you think it will take you to save for a salary of 10,000 yuan a month to get these?"
