Chapter 36: Climbing the Ladder
Three days later, Gu Chengyu's apartment.
Last night, Gu Chengyu's special assistant called Xu Wanwan and told her that the dance room in the apartment had been renovated and asked the teacher to come to the apartment to teach so that Miss Su wouldn't have to run back and forth.
Xu Wanwan was standing in the elevator. She was wearing a well-fitting off-white dress today, carrying a professional dance bag in her hand, and her back was straight.
The apartment door opened, and the housekeeper in neat uniform respectfully led her in.
The first thing that catches your eye is the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Outside the window is the most prosperous and iconic building in the entire S city, and the Huangpu River winds through it.
Standing here, it feels like the whole city is under your feet.
Xu Wanwan's heart began to beat violently uncontrollably.
Genting Apartment, the most famous top-level apartment in the city center.
She had seen reports about this place countless times in financial magazines and celebrity gossip.
Land is very expensive here, and a duplex is no longer something that can be measured by money. It is the most direct symbol of identity, status, and top power.
It was Xu Wanwan, a rising star in the dance world who had attracted much attention. Even if she tried her best, she could still reach the peak that was out of reach.
And now, she can actually set foot here, she has to find a way to seize this opportunity.
The housekeeping lady led her through the living room and came to the door of a converted room.
The door opened, revealing a private dance studio that was as professional as the best in her school.
There are huge floor-to-ceiling mirror walls, professional ballet bars, top-quality sound-absorbing and non-slip floors, and even separate dressing rooms and showers...
Su Qianqian had already changed into a tight-fitting lotus pink training suit and was warming up in front of the mirror.
Her seaweed-like long hair was tied into a high bun, revealing her slender swan neck.
Seeing Xu Wanwan come in, she immediately stopped and smiled: "Teacher Xu, you are here."
Xu Wanwan quickly suppressed her thoughts and put on a gentle smile: "Qianqian, Master Gu really cares about you."
Her eyes swept across the expensive dance studio. Every detail silently told of the man's love for the girl.
Su Qianqian was a little shy and stopped talking.
In fact, she was naturally sensitive to people's emotions. Although Xu Wanwan hid it well, she could feel her jealousy and dissatisfaction.
However, these have nothing to do with her.
After all, if she had to take care of everyone who was jealous of her, she would be exhausted.
The two began the class.
Su Qianqian studied very seriously, sweat soon soaked her forehead, and her little face turned slightly red because of concentration.
During a break, Xu Wanwan casually chatted, "Qianqian, last time I heard you say you got the role of an otaku? Just two simple scenes?"
"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 housekeeping aunt and drank it in small sips: "It's worth it. No matter how small the role is, the rewards are all mine."
"Also... Mr. Xu, I also want to apply to the acting department of S University. Having a dance foundation is always an advantage."
Department of Acting at S University?
The smile on Xu Wanwan's face froze for a moment and she almost couldn't maintain it.
She picked up her water cup and used the action of drinking water to hide the complex emotions that were almost unsuppressible in her eyes.
With the support of the Gu family's crown prince, living in a place like the Genting Apartments, enjoying top-tier resources that ordinary people could not imagine...
This Su Qianqian, she actually wants to apply to the acting department of S University?
Xu Wanwan only felt a sense of absurdity and resentment rushing to her head.
How many years had she fought for? How much hardship had she endured? How much blood and sweat had she shed in the training room?
He fought his way out of the crowd and became an associate professor at S University, enjoying the admiration and respect of everyone.
And the girl in front of me has a ladder that can take her to heaven in one step.
In one sentence, Gu Chengyu said, top resources, the best script, overwhelming publicity...what can't he get?
She could have become the most dazzling heroine, so why would she play a little courtesan with only two scenes?
Why bother taking the art exam road where thousands of people have to compete for a single spot?
Those students in the acting department work so hard and sharpen their brains, isn't their ultimate goal to become a little star or a little actor?
What is that little achievement compared to a behemoth like the Gu family?
Not distinguishing between the primary and the secondary is a waste of resources!
A feeling of contempt, ridicule, or twisted jealousy that was hard to tell, like a poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around Xu Wanwan's heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She looked at Su Qianqian's pretty little face, then at this luxurious dance studio, and felt it was extremely ironic.
This dance studio in Genting is enough to earn a top star like Lin Shu a year’s endorsement fee.
“It’s good to have dreams.”
Xu Wanwan finally found her voice. Her tone was still gentle, and there was even an encouraging smile in her voice, but that smile did not reach her eyes.
"It's very difficult to get into the acting department of S University. Qianqian needs to work twice as hard."
She put down the water cup, stood up, and clapped her hands, "Okay, the break is over, let's continue."
Xu Wanwan turned around and walked towards the bar. The moment her back turned to Su Qianqian, the smile on her face completely disappeared, leaving only coldness.
