Meanwhile, the day of the cultural performance is fast approaching.
The performance will be held in Lanzhou, the provincial capital.
Early in the morning, the entire performing arts troupe set off in trucks.
Song Ning gripped the hem of her military uniform and took a deep breath.
This was the first time she had ever worn a real military uniform. Although it was just a performance costume that she had temporarily borrowed, the red collar tabs still made her feel very proud.
It was already broad daylight when the convoy left Ganj.
Song Ning pressed her face against the car window, watching the wheat fields along the way ripple like golden waves in the wind.
The two dancers in the front row are discussing the entries from other military regions.
"I heard the Haicheng Cultural Troupe is going to perform 'Sailor's Dance,' and I heard it was a sensation during rehearsals. Can we compete?"
"This competition is a battle of gods. It's hard to say."
Jiang Feifei suddenly interjected, "No matter how good it is, it can't compare to our piano concerto, right, Song Ning?"
Song Ning frowned, thinking to herself, "The competition hasn't even started yet, and Jiang Feifei is already praising me."
If she wins the game, she'll be a hero; but if she loses, she'll be a villain.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "My contribution is mainly icing on the cake; it all depends on everyone's excellent dancing."
"That's true. After all, we've rehearsed for so long, and dancing is one of our strengths."
The actors were talking about it.
Jiang Feifei looked at Song Ning, her gaze immediately turning cold.
She has already figured out a way to deal with Song Ning in this competition. You want to get into the performing arts troupe? It won't be that easy.
After a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the Lancheng Grand Theatre.
The theater's dome resembles an inverted lotus flower, making the building appear exceptionally beautiful.
They rehearsed backstage first, and then officially started in the afternoon.
In the backstage dressing room, just as Song Ning was about to open the piano for the upcoming rehearsal, she heard someone call out, "Song Ning, someone is looking for you."
Song Ning left before she could even open the violin.
Who's looking for me?
Yuan Yan stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Song Ning, this time it all depends on you. The piano solo, please don't let anything go wrong!"
"Don't worry, Deputy Regiment Commander Yuan."
After finishing her conversation with Yuan Yan, Song Ning returned to the rehearsal room and prepared to open the piano lid.
When she opened the piano and lifted the lid, she was stunned.
Several black keys on the piano had sunk in.
"this……"
Just as Song Ning was about to say something, Jiang Feifei suddenly leaned over from the side and exclaimed, "Oh dear, what's wrong with this piano... the keys are all sunken in!"
Hearing her shout, everyone around her immediately turned to look.
"Oh no, the piano is broken, what are we going to do?"
What will we do about the performance later?
Everyone was extremely anxious.
“I’m going to find a repairman.” Song Ning turned to leave, but Jiang Feifei grabbed her wrist: “Song Ning, you’re the one who broke this piano, aren’t you? Nobody else touched it.”
A smug smile played at the corners of her eyes.
Song Ning sneered, "Why would I break the piano? What good would it do me?"
This question immediately stumped Jiang Feifei.
"How would I know? You must have broken it by accident."
Looking at her expression, Song Ning immediately had reason to suspect that Jiang Feifei might have broken it and deliberately framed her.
One issue is that it delayed the performance, and the other is that she will have to pay compensation.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Song Ning couldn't help but clench her fist.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Feifei is so inconsiderate and doesn't care about the big picture; she only cares about personal grudges.
But she calmed herself down, saying, "It's okay, I can still play."
"Song Ning, are you even capable? The piano keys are all dented, how are you going to play? It's a joke."
Jiang Feifei clasped her hands together, waiting to see the joke.
Song Ning immediately sat down and began to play.
Losing just a few keycaps will have some impact, but it won't be a big one.
It's just that some high and low notes are inaccurate.
"I can do it. Don't worry, everyone."
Seeing this, Jiang Feifei gritted her teeth. "But it will still have an impact. I want to see what guarantee you can give."
"You don't need to worry about that."
Song Ning already had a plan in mind.
While everyone was changing clothes, Song Ning immediately used her mind to store the piano in her own space, and then moved the piano out of her own space.
There is basically no difference in appearance.
No one noticed.
Soon, it was time for the official performance.
The piano was brought onto the stage.
The moment the spotlight came on, Song Ning closed her eyes.
Chords flowed from fingertips, and the sound of the piano swirled under the dome, like a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring over the audience.
Accompanied by piano music, the dancers gracefully began to dance.
Immediately, applause erupted from the audience.
"The music was so beautiful, melodious and graceful."
"Yes, it's a perfect match with this dance."
The judges began to scribble rapidly on the scoring sheet with their pens.
Jiang Feifei on stage was stunned.
She clearly broke the keycaps on this piano, so why is it that the playing isn't affected at all? In fact, it sounds even better than when she rehearsed with the performing arts troupe.
Why is that?
Soon, the performance ended, and the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.
After the actors took their bows, the piano was moved backstage.
Song Ning was thinking of quickly going backstage to move the piano to the space, but Yuan Yan stopped her.
"Song Ning, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Your performance just now was absolutely fantastic."
Song Ning could only exchange pleasantries with her.
Backstage, Jiang Feifei went to the piano, lifted the lid, and found that the piano was brand new, with neatly arranged keycaps.
"How...is this possible?"
Jiang Feifei bent down to carefully examine the piano, and was stunned when she saw the piano's logo.
This brand?
No, this is not the same piano as before.
This piano is new!
What happened? How could a new piano have fallen from such a short distance?
Jiang Feifei was completely baffled.
Just then, she heard footsteps.
She quickly hid.
Song Ning arrived backstage and, seeing that no one was there, immediately used her mind to move the piano into her own space with a wave of her hand.
Seeing the piano vanish into thin air, Jiang Feifei, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately opened her eyes wide.
Then, she witnessed an even more astonishing scene.
With another wave of his hand, Song Ning conjured up yet another piano out of thin air.
Song Ning reached out and closed the piano lid. In that instant, Jiang Feifei saw the jade thumb ring on her finger.
Sure enough, the real jade thumb ring was still in her hand. It must be that this jade thumb ring held some unknown secret.
She had to find a way to get that jade thumb ring.
Hmph, Song Ning, now I know your secret completely.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Feifei's eyes.
