"Can you sing and dance?" Commander Liu asked Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang nodded.
Huang Ru said with a smile, "Sing a song for Commander Liu."
Seeing Commander Liu nod, Qin Xiang began to sing. However, she was nervous, and her already poor singing became even more off-key.
Regiment Commander Liu frowned.
Huang Ru's expression also looked rather unpleasant.
After Qin Xiang finished singing, Huang Ru said with a smile.
"Give Commander Liu another dance to see."
Qin Xiang glanced nervously at Commander Liu.
"Let's begin," Commander Liu said.
Qin Xiang started dancing. She had practiced many times before, but today, as soon as she started dancing, she forgot the moves and her movements were worse than before. When Qin Xiang turned around, she almost fell to the ground.
Huang Ru's face turned even uglier.
Seeing that Commander Liu's expression was calm, Huang Ru said with a smile.
"This child is too nervous."
Commander Liu looked at Qin Xiang, who now knew she had messed up. She was extremely upset.
What should she do if she doesn't get selected?
Seeing Qin Xiang's nervous and upset expression, Commander Liu spoke up.
How long have you been learning to sing and dance?
Qin Xiang replied.
"In response to Commander Liu, I learned from Jiang Yue. She taught me all of this, and I only studied it for a month or two."
Commander Liu was slightly surprised. It was quite impressive that Qin Xiang had been trained to this extent in just one or two months.
Jiang Yue is a truly promising young woman. It's a pity she doesn't want to join the performing arts troupe; otherwise, the troupe would definitely be better off with her there.
Huang spoke up at this moment.
"Commander Liu, this child is Jiang Yue's classmate. Jiang Yue previously said she would give her a job, but this child wants to get into the performing arts troupe through her own efforts... Although her singing and dancing aren't very proficient yet, with more practice, I believe she will definitely become an outstanding comrade in the troupe before long..."
Huang Ru began to slander Jiang Yue.
Is Jiang Yue going to give the job to Qin Xiang? Why?
Commander Liu was not one to be easily swayed by others; after a moment of silence, he spoke.
"Comrade Qin Xiang's current level is still somewhat different from the requirements of the cultural troupe."
If it were Commander Liu in the past, she would have definitely said directly that Qin Xiang's level was too poor and she couldn't get into the cultural troupe.
Over the years, she has become much more tactful in her speech.
Qin Xiang was struck dumb by Liu's words, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him.
Why? Although her performance had some flaws, she tried her best. Why didn't Commander Liu want her?
What about Jiang Yue?
She had watched Jiang Yue sing and dance before, but she didn't think Jiang Yue was that great. Why was Jiang Yue allowed to join the performing arts troupe?
Qin Xiang's heart was filled with resentment. Why?
Why does Jiang Yue get all the good things in the world? Why can't she have a share?
Upon hearing this, Huang Ru quickly replied.
"Qin Xiang definitely needs more practice. Please, Commander Liu, give her a chance. It doesn't matter if she's not a full-time employee; let her join the troupe to learn first. Aren't you hiring odd jobs? This child is smart and capable..."
Huang Ru had this in mind from the very beginning: to get Qin Xiang into the performing arts troupe to do odd jobs.
Working odd jobs in the cultural troupe only earned a little over ten yuan a month, but it also provided more than ten kilograms of grain.
In their spare time, they can also learn from the members of the performing arts troupe.
Huang said many kind words, but Regiment Commander Liu frowned.
