When Zhou Hongyu thought of the gala, she immediately thought of Keqiao's mother, who was recently buying costumes for the gala.

She was terrified of running into Keqiao's mother by sheer luck, and in a moment of panic, she weakly grabbed Ning Huilan's arm.

"Xiao Ning, I'm not feeling well. It seems like I'd better take some sick leave!"

Ning Huilan was even happier than her: "Sister Hongyu, it's okay. If you're not feeling well, just take leave and go home to rest. There's no rush over there. As for me, I'll be taking a vacation in a few days to travel abroad with my fiancé. You can go by yourself then!"

Zhou Hongyu: "..."

I'd rather go with you now than go alone!

Zhou Hongyu moved her hand away from Ning Huilan's arm, then moved her arm and legs.

"Ah, I suddenly feel much better. I don't need to take leave; we can go there now!"

Ning Huilan smiled broadly and said coquettishly, "Sister Hongyu, I knew you were the best! I'll bring you lots of gifts when I come back from my trip abroad!"

Zhou Hongyu felt ashamed. She didn't need any gifts; she just hoped she wouldn't run into Keqiao's mother.

She really didn't want to face Mrs. Ke!

I don't know how to face this!

When Zhou Hongyu and Ning Huilan arrived, they found two groups arguing in the auditorium, unable to reach a conclusion.

Zhou Hongyu immediately saw Madam Ke rushing to the front, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet.

She wanted to run away!

Suddenly someone shouted, "The cultural center's advisor has arrived!"

Everyone turned to look at her. Zhou Hongyu stopped abruptly, and Ning Huilan gave her a push from behind.

"Sister Hongyu, let's go!"

If I could leave, I wouldn't; you don't need to tell me!

Zhou Hongyu gritted her teeth and continued walking.

A slightly plump middle-aged woman with permed hair quickly ran over, grabbed Zhou Hongyu, and started wailing.

"Boss, you've come at the right time! Please help us! These people are preventing us from rehearsing!"

Mrs. Ke angrily questioned, "Explain yourself clearly! Who didn't want you to rehearse? Why didn't you come to the time allotted to you? Now you're trying to act like a scoundrel and monopolize our time!"

Mrs. Ke became agitated, and the two groups started arguing again, making the scene as chaotic as a vegetable market. Zhou Hongyu's head throbbed with pain.

She shouldn't have to suffer like this!

Finally, Zhou Hongyu pieced together the whole story from the argument.

Because there were too many people who needed to rehearse, the staff assigned time to each group. However, the group of women with curly hair felt that the time allotted to them would interfere with cooking and picking up their children, so they did not come.

When Mrs. Ke's group started rehearsing, they felt it was a good time to come in groups, and unsurprisingly, the two groups started arguing.

Ning Huilan always speaks her mind, and she directly confronted the culprit, the woman with the perm.

"We told you to come, but you wouldn't. Now that others have come, you want to take it from them. What, do you think this place is your home?!"

The woman with the curly hair was scolded by a young girl in front of so many people, and she couldn't hold back her anger on the spot.

"You have a foul mouth, little girl. Let me teach you what manners are!"

She lunged at Ning Huilan, intending to slap her in the mouth.

Zhou Hongyu kicked her to the ground.

...

The scene fell silent, except for the elderly woman with the curly hair who was sitting on the ground and shouting.

The woman with the perm was a notorious bully among the nearby universities, known for her unreasonable and disruptive behavior.

The woman with the wool curls' husband is a professor at the Trade College next to the Foreign Affairs College. He is quite capable, but unfortunately, he married such an ignorant and foolish wife. Three generations of his family have been mistreated, and his son and daughter have not been able to find stable jobs after graduating from high school.

This only fueled the commotion caused by the woman with the perm.

If their family can't live a good life, then no one else can live a good life either!

"The leaders are bullying us! They're bullying us! They look down on us country folk! I can't live like this anymore! I'm going to confront the principal..."

Mrs. Ke's expression changed slightly, clearly unable to withstand the tantrums of the woman with the curly hair, and she chose to back down.

"Okay, you can line up for today, but don't cause us any trouble tomorrow!"

The woman with the curly hair was still dissatisfied: "You think this will get away with it? I've figured it out, that woman is in cahoots with you! She dared to hit me! She can forget about her job!"

He pointed at Zhou Hongyu with his finger.

Zhou Hongyu didn't look at her, and randomly asked someone, "Is the person lying on the ground a country person?"

Don't bully her. Zhou Hongyu herself is a genuine country girl.

The woman with the curly hair looks every bit like a city dweller.

"She used to be from the countryside, but she changed her household registration to the city a long time ago!"

Zhou Hongyu said, "Since she's so nostalgic and wants to go back to being a country person, I'll grant her wish. I'll help her find the principal to fire her husband, and she can go back to the countryside immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the woman with the curly hair seemed to be provoked, and she started cursing about everything dirty and smelly, making everyone who heard it frown.

Mrs. Ke suddenly realized that even this worthless woman could be afraid!

Just then, the woman with the wool roll appeared out of nowhere and pulled her up from the ground.

"Mom, stop making a scene, let's go home!"

The woman with the curly hair was pulled aside as she tried to step down the stairs.

Her daughter sincerely apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, my mom took up everyone's time!"

"Xiaojuan, you're so unlucky to have such a mother..."

Everyone present was a respectable person, and upon hearing her daughter's apology, they all expressed their understanding.

Mrs. Ke frowned slightly. Where were her children when the trouble started?

The woman with the curly hair has managed to get a lot of benefits for her family by using her unreasonable and disruptive behavior!

Zhou Hongyu stared sharply at her daughter: "I am an advisor sent by the cultural center. Let me make it very clear to you, if your mother interferes with other people's work again, she is not qualified to participate in the performance!"

The woman with the curly hair was pale-faced and nodded blankly.

On Mrs. Ke's side, someone was quietly complaining that Zhou Hongyu was heartless.

"Xiao Juan is pitiful too. Who would want to have a mother like this? Can't you speak more kindly..."

Mrs. Ke glared at her coldly: "What are you doing now! Since you can talk to her, why didn't you rush to the front when she caused trouble!"

The man awkwardly shut his mouth.

Mrs. Ke looked at Zhou Hongyu with a questioning gaze. Wasn't she an employee of Chang Rihui's mother's clothing store?

He transformed himself into a consultant sent by the cultural center!

The dance troupe successfully completed one round of rehearsals. Mrs. Ke instructed her deputy to lead the team members in additional practice, and she left the stage to walk towards Zhou Hongyu.

The consultant sent by the cultural center was being chatted with by many people.

Zhou Hongyu had just demonstrated her ruthlessness by driving away a local tyrant, and everyone admired her but dared not get too close to her. As a result, the naive and innocent Ning Huilan became the most popular person.

Zhou Hongyu leaned against the wall, eating a chocolate that someone had given her.

Mrs. Ke walked over and greeted her with a smile, and Zhou Hongyu almost choked on the chocolate she had in her mouth.

You need something? No way!
