"Ding Yue, you."
Ding Yue stamped her feet and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"
Guan Wanwan looked up, her watery eyes piercing as she looked at the two of them, and said casually, "It's okay."
"You... Humph!" Who wants to apologize to her? She really takes herself too seriously.
Liang Wenjing's face also looked unhappy.
"Disband! Disband! Peng Jinghua is not here, and you are all being too unreasonable." There is no discipline at all, and it's no wonder that their professional level is so poor.
Director Hao was extremely disappointed and immediately ordered, "Liang Wenjing, Ding Yue, both of you go back and write a 1,000-word self-criticism and post it on the bulletin board at the Arts and Culture Academy. I want to see it tomorrow, and it must be sincere. Otherwise, you will lose your bonus this month."
"ah?"
"Director Hao, we know we were wrong, so please stop posting on the bulletin board."
Young people want to save face. If you post it on the bulletin board, everyone in the art compound will see it. You will be laughed at by people from other groups and lose all your face.
"How dare you talk so much." He was really rebellious. "Niu Shanshan, come out."
"Here! Director Hao." A tall, fair-skinned girl with a ponytail, about twenty years old, squeezed out of the crowd. "Director Hao, what can I do for you?"
Director Hao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You will be the chief from now on, and Guan Wanwan will be added to your group." After that, he took Guan Wanwan away.
There was an uproar in the training room. Some people sympathized with Ding Yue, while others were happy for Niu Shanshan.
The competition for the leading position in the song and dance troupe has always been fierce, with the selection taking place every six months. Every time, Ding Yue and Liang Wenjing argue till they get red in the face.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the inconspicuous Niu Shanshan benefited from it.

In the office, Director Hao personally poured Guan Wanwan a cup of tea. He was kind and acted like a good leader who cared about his subordinates. He first asked Guan Wanwan whether she was adapting well to returning to her old unit, even though he knew the answer.
He encouraged her again, painted a long picture, and went around in circles before finally stating his purpose.
"Comrade Guan Wanwan, how did you and Pan Yue meet?"
"Ah? I... don't know them!" She had been away from Beijing for fifteen years and didn't recognize many people. Those she once knew had become distant and unfamiliar due to distance and time.
Director Hao clearly didn't believe it. "Look at you, you've learned to be humble. But humility is a virtue and deserves praise. Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Your daughter's matter has been settled. Let her come to handle the paperwork tomorrow!"
"Really?" Guan Wanwan was pleasantly surprised and asked cautiously, "Is it...is it a pipe prop?"
"How is that possible? Your daughter is such a talented child. If I really let her move props, I'll be laughed at for being blind."
Guan Wanwan couldn't believe it. "Good! Good, that's great."
"Come tomorrow. I've talked to her and will assign her to that group based on what she wants to do." With Pan Yue's support, she can choose whatever she wants.
"Okay, go get busy! Go find Niu Shanshan and be her team from now on."
"Thanks!"
Guan Wanwan left happily, even forgetting the pain from being kicked, and she was full of energy. Nothing could make her happier than seeing Xiaobai's work done well.
These days, seeing that Xiaobai couldn't go to college and didn't have a formal job, she felt like she was on fire.
I couldn’t sleep all night and was bullied at work, so forget it!
She can endure it all.
Ever since Zong Yan left, she had slowly gotten used to carrying on alone. But seeing Xiaobai grow up, his appearance even surpassing his father's, Guan Wanwan's worry was beyond words.
Her life has been very unfortunate, and she doesn't want Xiaobai to repeat her path.
For the rest of her life, she didn't have any requests. She only hoped that Xiaobai could have a stable job and not have to endure the hardships of life.
As long as she is safe and ordinary, that's enough.
