272: Chapter 272: The Arrogant Teacher【8 Updates】 272: Chapter 272: The Arrogant Teacher【8 Updates】 Bai Yunxi’s manager, Zheng Wenxiu, had managed many artists before and had high expectations for Bai Yunxi after she was assigned to handle her.
The performance tonight was crucial for Bai Yunxi’s career.
If she did not make a sensational debut, it would be a devastating blow.
“Yunxi, it’s not just me nagging, but last time the effort I made to calm down that big boss you offended was tremendous.
What have I done wrong to you that you can’t make some effort?”
Zheng Wenxiu’s tone was somewhat harsh, and she was aggressively confrontational with Bai Yunxi.
Bai Yunxi bowed her head, and at that moment, she could only let Zheng Wenxiu nag beside her.
Shen Xuedong coldly watched Zheng Wenxiu reprimanding Bai Yunxi from the side, showing no intention of coming forward to help his partner, but rather fanning the flames.
“After all, you are a big star, and I can tolerate some personality, but attitude is very important!”
Shen Xuedong spoke with righteous indignation, leaving Bai Yunxi with no room to protest, and in the end she could only suffer in silence.
Xu Xiaoqing sighed from a distance, watching this scene unfold: “It’s not easy being a celebrity!”
They appear glamorous, but who sees how much they have to put up with behind the scenes?
Especially in the deep waters of the entertainment industry, sometimes even the big stars with many fans are not really in control of their own lives.
In this dye vat, how many can truly preserve their original aspirations?
Xu Xiaoqing felt a stir of emotions.
“Yunxi, tonight’s performance is very important.
The artists from other companies have been rehearsing from dawn to dusk for tonight.
You should be more mindful.
You started as a dancer.
The media is calling you a star of tomorrow, but if you don’t stand out amidst the competition tonight,
it might affect your future!”
Zheng Wenxiu kept nagging, emphasizing the importance of tonight’s performance to Bai Yunxi, as being lax could ultimately affect her own future.
“Think about it yourself, take the rehearsal seriously…Mr.
Shen, Yunxi is in your hands now.”
“No problem, as long as she gets into the zone, there will be no issues at all from my side!”
Zheng Wenxiu nodded, and as she left, she gave Bai Yunxi a meaningful look with her eyes, then stood off to the side with her arms crossed to watch.
Bai Yunxi sighed internally and resumed rehearsing with Shen Xuedong.
At first, Bai Yunxi’s dance steps maintained a perfect rhythm, but partway through, she began to falter significantly.
“Enough, I’ve said it, I can tolerate some quirks from you celebrities, but my patience has its limits!”
Shen Xuedong looked at Bai Yunxi with dissatisfaction and started criticizing again.
“If you’re not going to take this seriously, then you might as well stop rehearsing and go on stage like this!”
“I’m sorry…”
Bai Yunxi said, with her head bowed in shame.
Shen Xuedong squinted at Bai Yunxi’s attractive body, a flash of greed appearing in his eyes, but his face still maintained a lofty expression.
“Alright, take a break!”
After saying this, Shen Xuedong walked outside.
Meanwhile, a group of Shen Xuedong’s little fangirls who had been outside ran over to him at this time.
And Xu Xiaoqing also made her way over for matters related to the rehearsal.
“Mr.
Shen, you were so cool just now!”
“Are you thirsty?”
“Teacher Shen, this is for you!”
A group of young fans surrounded Shen Xuedong, but Shen Xuedong, considering himself superior, completely ignored them and walked away.
“Teacher Shen, hey, Teacher Shen, I need to talk to you!”
Xu Xiaoqing shouted from behind, but Shen Xuedong didn’t want to deal with her at all and left without turning his head.
The group of young fans, along with Xu Xiaoqing who had something to discuss with Shen Xuedong, were left feeling very awkward.
“What’s the matter, he didn’t give you the time of day?”
Seeing Xu Xiaoqing return with a displeased expression, Ning Fan teased.
Xu Xiaoqing puffed out her cheeks, fuming and said, “What kind of person is that, acting all high and mighty just because he’s worked with a few big stars!”
Shen Xuedong’s attitude had made her very unhappy.
What high horse, Xu Xiaoqing simply thought this man liked to put on airs.
Ning Fan shook his head; he didn’t have a good opinion of that Shen Xuedong either, but that wasn’t to say he disliked him.
To him, as long as this guy didn’t do anything intolerable, he was just a stranger.
“Hmph, if he doesn’t want to teach me, someone else will.
Isn’t that right, big brother Ning Fan?”
Xu Xiaoqing snorted tenderly, smiling sweetly at Ning Fan while hugging his arm again, calling him “brother” in a way that tickled Ning Fan’s heart.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Ning Fan said with an awkward smile, then looked towards Bai Yunxi in the distance.
During the break, Bai Yunxi’s manager, Zheng Wenxiu, found her and said earnestly, “Yunxi, what’s going on with you?
Do you realize how important tonight’s performance is for you?
If you don’t stand out tonight, it’ll be hard for you to make a name for yourself in the next five years!”
Bai Yunxi had offended someone, which was on the night she met Ning Fan, resulting in the embarrassing display that night.
Zheng Wenxiu had gone to great lengths to resolve that incident, but Bai Yunxi’s opportunity was limited to tonight only.
Afterward, Bai Yunxi’s future would all depend on tonight’s performance, whether she could surpass other artists and emerge as a standout.
“Also, the big boss said that tonight’s performance can only be a success and not a failure.
If you fail, you might face the risk of being put on ice for five years.
You are still a star of tomorrow, but five years on ice, and no one will recognize you anymore.”
With the stakes so clearly laid out by Zheng Wenxiu, if Bai Yunxi didn’t perform well tonight, she would completely lose her chance.
Hearing Zheng Wenxiu’s words, Bai Yunxi felt very distressed.
She knew that tonight’s performance was her last chance.
She was the star of tomorrow, but if she failed tonight, her future would slowly fade from public view, eventually being forgotten as the star of tomorrow.
Bai Yunxi also wanted to perform well, but the image of that man from that night still haunted her mind, making her restless.
Most importantly, the dance instructor, Shen Xuedong, when teaching her, acted as if he was dancing alone, not bringing her along in the process.
Every time, Bai Yunxi struggled to keep up with Shen Xuedong’s rhythm, and it was always an effort in vain, facing Shen Xuedong’s criticism afterward.
Especially one thing, Bai Yunxi couldn’t stand it when dancing together, that Shen Xuedong had many subtle moves.
“Sister Xu, there’s something…”
“He’s back, whatever it is, let’s talk after practice,”
Bai Yunxi intended to tell Zheng Wenxiu about Shen Xuedong’s subtle moves during practice, but at that moment, Shen Xuedong had returned.
Seeing him return, Zheng Wenxiu quickly interrupted Bai Yunxi, urging her to practice.
“Eighth update!
Probably around ten in the morning, will continue with five more chapters!”
