Yuan Yan was very happy when Song Ning appeared at the registration site.
After all, she had witnessed her accordion playing skillfully in the compound last time. She still acknowledged her talent.
It's a bit of a shame that the ingredients aren't very good.
However, she heard that Song Ning had made some contributions to the army, so Deputy Regiment Commander Qian made a special exception and gave Song Ning the qualification to sign up. She only knew about this matter.
Just as Yuan Yan was about to go forward, she saw Jiang Feifei had already taken the lead and walked up to Song Ning.
"Song Ning, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to register, of course."
Song Ning looked at her with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Heh, you're just a capitalist's daughter, what right do you have to apply to the performing arts troupe? What a joke. Don't you all agree?"
Jiang Feifei deliberately raised her voice very loudly, and everyone around her heard it and started talking about it.
"Oh my god, she's a capitalist's daughter. That's really bad..."
"Exactly, they even have the nerve to register..."
Upon hearing this, Song Ning was no longer afraid. She immediately took out a recommendation form and displayed it to everyone.
"Look everyone, this is a recommendation form personally given by Deputy Commander Qian. If he believes I'm qualified to apply, then I am qualified. What, are you questioning Deputy Commander Qian?"
As a result, Jiang Feifei snatched her registration form, tore it to shreds without even looking at it, and threw it on the ground.
Seeing this, Yuan Yan wanted to step forward to stop it, but when she saw the registration form torn to shreds, she sighed instantly.
Jiang Feifei said provocatively, "Who knows where you got a fake registration form? And you're even using Deputy Regiment Commander Qian's name. Believe me or not, I'll report you to Deputy Regiment Commander Qian right now!"
"Go ahead and go." Song Ning smiled slightly, looking at her.
"Hmph. Fine, I'll go. Song Ning, you'll be crying just waiting to see what happens."
Jiang Feifei chuckled, her face full of smugness. She deliberately raised her voice and said to the others, "Sisters, is anyone coming with me?"
Hearing this, Yuan Yan couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Enough! What kind of behavior is this? I can vouch for Song Ning's eligibility to sign up. She was indeed recommended by Deputy Regiment Commander Qian. She has contributed to the team. Everyone, sit down and compete fairly."
Hearing this, Jiang Feifei felt somewhat resentful, thinking, "Why should I?" However, given Yuan Yan's position, she could only remain silent and sit there.
"Thank you, Sister Yuan."
"Song Ning, what are you going to perform for your audition today?"
Yuan Yan was quite looking forward to it. She always felt that Song Ning would definitely surprise her.
Song Ning turned her head to look at the piano in the corner, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm going to perform a piano solo."
"A piano?" Yuan Yan's eyes lit up. Sure enough, she knew Song Ning would surprise her.
"Oh, she's actually going to perform the piano?"
"My goodness, there are hardly any people in the entire performing arts troupe who can play the piano."
After all, pianos were very expensive back then, and ordinary families simply couldn't afford to learn them. Many people who could play the piano learned it abroad.
Hearing everyone's sighs, Jiang Feifei felt a little jealous and deliberately said, "What's so great about a capitalist's daughter being able to play the piano? It's all thanks to money."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Feifei. "Everyone, please be quiet. Next, Song Ning will come up on stage to perform a piano solo."
The entire room fell silent instantly, as everyone wanted to see if Song Ning could actually play the piano.
Song Ning took a breath and walked onto the stage. She suddenly lifted the red cloth covering the piano and looked at the black and white keyboard. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
She hadn't practiced the piano since arriving in the 1970s.
Fortunately, she has a Grade 10 piano certificate in modern society, which means her skill level is still quite high.
She sat down, adjusted her posture, picked up the sheet music, and turned to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".
Then he placed his slender fingers on the piano keys, ready to play.
Soon, as the melodious piano music began, the entire audience was stunned.
Everyone listened quietly to her performance, their emotions rising and falling with hers, as if they were in the night and feeling Beethoven's struggle against fate.
Yuan Yan smiled approvingly at this moment.
No wonder she chose him.
At this moment, Jiang Feifei also clenched her teeth and dug her fingernails into her palms.
Why is it that Song Ning plays the piano so well?
Aren't all capitalists' daughters lazy and good-for-nothing?
Where would I find the time to practice the piano?
Soon, the song ended.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, still savoring the experience and amazed by the piano music.
Absolutely, it sounds amazing!!!
The other judges also applauded Song Ning.
Yuan Yan stepped forward and shook hands with Song Ning. "Comrade Song Ning, you performed very well just now. Congratulations on passing the test."
"Thank you, Deputy Regiment Commander Yuan."
Song Ning was also very happy, thinking that she could finally join the performing arts troupe. However, she did not expect that Jiang Feifei would start causing trouble.
Jiang Feifei led a few people to Qian, the deputy regimental commander's office, and caused trouble.
"Deputy Commander Qian, Song Ning's family background is problematic, so she shouldn't be allowed into the performing arts troupe; that's against the rules."
"That's right, if she gets in, she'll be taking away our jobs as poor and lower-middle peasants."
"We protest."
A group of girls completely surrounded Deputy Commander Qian's office.
"Listen to me, everyone. There's a reason for this. We previously hired a foreign expert, Song Ning, as our translator, who helped us solve a major problem, so we granted her the right to register."
