When Qu Jingyun saw Secretary Wang write the word "excellent" on the evaluation form without hesitation, she opened her mouth hurriedly, but for a moment she could not find a reason to refute.
Secretary Wang sorted out the forms with satisfaction, stood up and said to Qu Jingyun:
"Congratulations, Deputy Director Qu! Your Ning City Art Troupe actually has two such outstanding soloists. They are truly a hidden gem and should not be underestimated!"
Qu Jingyun received the praise, but the smile on his face froze a little:
"Thank you for your encouragement, leader. You've worked hard all afternoon. I'll take you back to the guesthouse to rest. Captain Liang and I have reserved dinner at the best restaurant in Ning City tonight. We'll pick you up then."
Secretary Wang nodded with a smile. He had been feeling exhausted after watching ordinary shows all day, but he didn't expect to enjoy such a wonderful performance at the end, which immediately dispelled all his boredom and dissatisfaction.
He silently memorized Shao Jingque's name in his heart. Such a talented actor must not be buried. He could recommend him to his superiors if he had the chance.
"Xiao Shao, although your program wasn't selected for the Spring Festival Gala this time, I'm personally very satisfied with your performance. You're still young, and there will be many more and better opportunities in the future. Don't be discouraged, keep working hard, and I look forward to you creating more and better works for the Ning City Art Troupe!"
Before leaving, Secretary Wang, who was deeply touched by the song, did not forget to comfort and encourage Shao Jingque.
Shao Jingque thanked him with a smile. She didn't mind missing the Spring Festival Gala selection. On the contrary, Secretary Wang's words and the "excellent" on the evaluation form basically helped her keep her job in the art troupe.
In this way, she has become well-known in the minds of the leaders of the Provincial Art Troupe. If Qu Jingyun wants to touch her again, he will have to consider the consequences first.
Again, she can resign from this job voluntarily, but she can't let the villain succeed and kick her out!
Qu Jingyun stood aside with a fake smile, her bulging cheeks obviously showing that her back teeth were almost broken. Shao Jingque naturally would not miss the opportunity to "thank" Deputy Head Qu for his cultivation in front of the provincial leaders. The "sarcastic" thanks were so irritating to Qu Jingyun that she clenched her hands to resist going up and tearing her mouth open.
Seeing Qu Jingyun's face twisted and his mouth crooked with anger, Shao Jingque felt so happy.
She wanted to see how Deputy Director Qu, who seemed to have all the power in the Ning City Art Troupe, could find fault with an employee who was rated "excellent".
After Qu Jingyun accompanied Secretary Wang to leave the rehearsal hall, the other members of the art troupe rushed over to surround Shao Jingque, praising her singing one after another.
Many people were surprised that she could play the guitar and harmonica. It turned out that no one could tell, her skills were really well hidden!
Shao Jingque was quite modest and explained that the chords of the song were actually very simple, consisting of a few fragments repeated several times, and did not require very high playing skills, and the same was true for the harmonica.
Her words were confirmed by the musicians in the band. When recording the accompaniment before, he only played it once and was able to play it basically completely and accurately.
However, the simpler things are, the more they can reflect a person's true strength. Using a few simple chords to form such a moving melody, coupled with lyrics that touch the heartstrings, the final song can be called a "masterpiece"!
Shao Jingque was so embarrassed to be praised that she thought this song was definitely a masterpiece, but it was not created by her. If she remembered correctly, the real author of this song should still be in elementary school.
She silently apologized to the original author in her heart and secretly promised that she would make up for the copyright fee when she earned enough money in the future!
Tang Yueru watched as the people who had originally surrounded her all gathered near Shao Jingque, and she immediately became furious. She secretly cursed the people in the Ning City Art Troupe for being a bunch of fence-sitters!
She had just enjoyed a few days of being the center of attention, and hadn't had enough. She didn't expect that as soon as Shao Jingque came back, these people would rush to flatter her again.
No, she came all the way from her hometown to Ning City, not to be the second in command!
What's more, Qu Jingyun made it very clear that if she could not replace Shao Jingque's solo position in the troupe, then there would be no need for her to stay. If that situation really came to that, the Qi City Art Troupe would definitely not accept her since she had previously voluntarily applied for transfer. At that time, she would only be faced with a dilemma.
Therefore, whether for the sake of face or for her own sake, she cannot let Shao Jingque overshadow her!
Tang Yueru took a few deep breaths, concealing the hostility in her eyes. She put on a bright smile and walked over, greeting Shao Jingque warmly:
"Hello, you must be Sister Jingque, I'm the new soloist, my name is Tang Yueru, you can also call me Ayiguli."
Seeing Tang Yueru coming over, everyone around her looked a little unnatural.
They all knew that Tang Yueru came to replace Shao Jingque's position, but they didn't expect Shao Jingque to come back so soon, and he also got the only "excellent" grade in the provincial evaluation in the Ning City Art Troupe. Now, everyone is a little unclear about who will become the pillar of the Ning City Art Troupe.
Wu Shuang, who was originally standing next to Shao Jingque, subconsciously shrank back when she saw Tang Yueru walking towards her with a smile.
Shao Jingque noticed this unusual behavior and frowned slightly before raising the corner of his mouth and responding:
"Hello, I'm Shao Jingque. Let's look at each other... Since you're older than me, don't be so polite and call me sister. Just call me by my name."
The smile on Tang Yueru's face froze for a moment. She didn't expect Shao Jingque to be so rude and even mock her age in person?
She clearly heard someone in the crowd laughing!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tang Yueru certainly couldn't allow herself to be easily angered by Shao Jingque.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her chest, and tried to maintain a smile on her face:
"Jingque, the song you just performed was really beautiful. Who wrote it for you? I'd also like to meet such an excellent composer."
Tang Yueru endured the pain and kept silent at this moment just because she wanted to find out from Shao Jingque who the author of this song was.
She deliberately asked in front of everyone, believing that Shao Jingque would feel embarrassed to keep it secret. If she really refused to say it, it would leave an impression of being stingy and selfish in the eyes of everyone.
Tang Yueru felt that the person who could write this song must be a genius and must have more excellent works in his hands. She had just listened to Shao Jingque's singing level, but that was just so-so. If she could also get one or two of this kind of youth campus-style literary songs, she would only perform better than Shao Jingque.
Shao Jingque smiled and pointed at himself:
"Congratulations, you now know each other."
