Chapter 36 Ascending the Heavenly Ladder (2/2)



"Is it worth it to practice dancing so hard just for those two scenes?" she asked with curiosity and concern.

Su Qianqian took the warm water handed to her by the housekeeper and sipped it: "It's worth it. No matter how small the role is, the gains are all yours."

"And... Ms. Xu, I also want to apply to the performing arts department at S University. Having a dance background will always give me an advantage."

S University's Performing Arts Department?

Xu Wanwan's smile froze for a moment, and she almost couldn't maintain it.

She picked up her water glass, using the act of drinking to conceal the complex emotions that were almost impossible to suppress in her eyes.

With the powerful backing of the Gu family's heir, living in a place like the Cloud Top Apartments, they enjoy top-tier resources that ordinary people can only dream of...

This Su Qianqian, she actually thought about applying to the S University's acting department?

Xu Wanwan felt a surge of absurdity and resentment rush to her head.

How many years did she work so hard? How much suffering did she endure? How much blood and sweat did she shed in the practice room?

Having fought his way through countless challenges to become an associate professor at S University, he now enjoys the adulation and respect of many.

The girl in front of me possesses a ladder to heaven that allows her to ascend to the top in one step.

With just one sentence from Gu Chengyu, top-tier resources, the best scripts, and overwhelming publicity... what couldn't he get?

She could have easily been the most dazzling leading lady, so why did she choose to play a courtesan with only two scenes?

Why bother going down that fiercely competitive path of art exams?

Those students in the performing arts department work themselves to the bone, racking their brains, isn't their ultimate goal just to become a minor star or actor?

What are those achievements compared to a behemoth like the Gu family?

Failing to distinguish between primary and secondary tasks is a waste of resources!

A feeling that was hard to define—whether it was contempt, mockery, or twisted jealousy—strangled Xu Wanwan's heart like a venomous snake, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Looking at Su Qianqian's pretty face and then at the luxurious dance studio, she felt utterly ironic.

The dance studio in Genting Highlands is worth as much as the annual endorsement fee for a top star like Lin Shu.

"Having dreams is a good thing."

Xu Wanwan finally found her voice, her tone still gentle, even with an encouraging smile, though that smile didn't reach her eyes.

"The S University's acting department is very difficult to get into, Qianqian will have to work twice as hard."

She put down her water glass, stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Okay, break's over, let's continue."

Xu Wanwan turned around and walked towards the barre. The moment her back was to Su Qianqian, the smile on her face vanished completely, leaving only coldness. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
