"Zhao Linlin, I've already told you that although 'Yingshanhong' is a very gentle and delicate song, the final part is also very passionate and uplifting. You sang the entire song in a limp manner, devoid of any momentum. How can you express the people's love for the army?"

Yan Pingping said loudly.

Cheng Maixiang smiled. Although Yan Pingping liked to show off, she was the arts committee member after all, and she still had some basic artistic qualities. Her comments on the song were very on point.

"Everyone has a different understanding of a song. Who says yours is right and mine is wrong? Teacher Wei didn't say anything about my performance, but why are you the one constantly finding fault with me? Did I offend the Arts Committee in some way?"

There was a hint of disdain in Zhao Linlin's words. It seemed that she had already secured this performance opportunity, so she was no longer willing to tolerate Yan Pingping's deliberate criticism under the pretext of directing the performance.

"Zhao Linlin, what do you mean by that?" Yan Pingping was clearly irritated by her attitude. "I'm the arts committee member, so I naturally have the right to point out any flaws in your performance."

"Really? I thought the cultural committee member also wanted to perform this show, so he was using the pretext of coaching to find fault with me and force me to withdraw from the show."

Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling looked at each other. As expected, Zhao Linlin's rank was much higher than Yan Pingping's. In terms of means, Yan Pingping was no match for her at all.

Yan Pingping just wanted to find all kinds of trouble under the pretext of guidance, so that Zhao Linlin would feel annoyed and quit automatically, and she could take the opportunity to make up for it. However, this kind of thought was not acceptable, especially in front of the teacher, so Yan Pingping had to put on a responsible face.

But Zhao Linlin simply exposed all her petty thoughts and forced her to express her opinion. No matter what she said, she would never have this opportunity again. In addition, in order to avoid giving people a chance to criticize her, she could not find fault with Zhao Linlin in the future.

Yan Pingping was so furious that she fell for it. She couldn't help but say, "Zhao Linlin, you think everyone is the same as you. Are you trying to show off so much? I don't have that much thought..."

"Oh, I was just overthinking it. It seems our Arts and Culture Committee member is selfless and is leaving the opportunity to the students. Okay, I will definitely listen to Committee Member Yan and make corrections."

Yan Pingping was so angry that she was speechless. At this moment, Kuang Jinfeng's mocking voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. "Our Arts Committee member is not only selfless, but also knows how to help others succeed. You and Wu Jiadong are lovers. How could our Arts Committee member be so ungrateful as to try to break you up?"

Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling were shocked. The affair between the three of them was almost a secret in this school and no one knew about it. They didn't expect that Kuang Jinfeng would dig up this old story through some unknown channel in order to attack Zhao Linlin.

Zhao Linlin, who had been oblivious to the situation, suddenly exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Kuang Jinfeng, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling you, I have nothing to do with Wu Jiadong right now, so stop slandering me."

"Why are you so anxious? I didn't say you have any relationship with Wu Jiadong now, but you probably haven't forgotten what happened in Hongxing Town at the end of July last year. Even if the victim doesn't pursue the matter, you can't just forget it. After all, you did it all."

"What have I done? What have I done?"

Although Zhao Linlin pretended to be unyielding, she couldn't hide the guilt in her voice.

Cheng Maixiang was also a little overwhelmed. For a year, she had not mentioned this matter again because she didn't want these unnecessary people to disturb her life. But she never expected that in the place where she felt was the safest, someone would still find out about these trivial matters.

Ruan Peiling quietly held her hand and gently advised her not to panic. If Kuang Jinfeng dared to tell everything, she would definitely stand by her and protect her.

Cheng Maixiang was not afraid that Kuang Jinfeng would make a big deal out of it. After all, she was a pure victim in that incident and would not be blamed by anyone. At most, there would be a few unpleasant words, and she would just pretend not to know.

Furthermore, Kuang Jinfeng deliberately chose to speak when no one was around, in order to use this matter to threaten Zhao Linlin and force her to withdraw voluntarily.

Generally speaking, threats of scandal are most powerful when the matter is not made public. The person being threatened is afraid of the consequences of disclosure and is fearful and has no choice but to obey.

But if it is made public, what was supposed to happen has already happened, and the scandal itself no longer has a threatening effect. The person being threatened may even go all out and go against the person who threatens her. That would be meaningless.

This is just like the paparazzi in later generations who filmed celebrity scandals but rarely made them public. Instead, they went to the celebrities to negotiate for hush money.

Cheng Maixiang believed that if Zhao Linlin wanted to stay in this school, she must never let these things that would ruin her reputation be exposed. If she was smart enough, she would have to give up this performance.

But for Zhao Linlin, who loves to be in the spotlight, this is a decision that is almost as painful as cutting her own flesh. I don't think she will make a decision so quickly.

"Kuang Jinfeng, you're amazing! I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so resourceful."

Zhao Linlin completely took off her disguise and no longer spoke in a pretentious manner.

"Same here."

"Okay, aren't you just coveting this performance opportunity? I've even asked you to do everything you can to investigate me. Since you want it so badly, I, Zhao Linlin, am willing to help you. I'll just give it up.

"But, Kuang Jinfeng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've gone to great lengths to squeeze me out, and you're actually just helping others! I've withdrawn, and it's only Yan Pingping's turn. It seems like you won't get any benefits, right?"
