"You are a person who got in through the back door, and you dare not admit it? Besides, Sister Rulan is a senior in our drama troupe. How can you talk to Sister Rulan?"
Zhou Yunwan was a little annoyed, a hint of teasing flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she said in a cold voice: "Comrade, you should be an adult, right? Then you should know that trouble comes from the mouth. Everyone should be responsible for what they say. Don't say anything without evidence."
"You just believe everything you hear, and you have no personal opinion at all. You just casually convict a stranger. Are you brainless? Or are you just a mean person who likes to say bad things about others behind their backs?"
The girl was so angry at her words that she jumped up and down, and said angrily: "You have no brains!"
"Oh, so you admit that you are a villain?"
"I didn't! How can you just curse at me?"
"You can say bad things about me, so why can't you let me scold you? Little sister, don't be so hypocritical."
Little sister? The girl was dumbfounded. She remembered that Zhou Yunwan was not yet twenty years old? You actually said she was a little sister?
As the rehearsal time approached, many people came back from the cafeteria or outside, and the corridor gradually became noisy.
...
...
Someone pushed the door open and saw that the atmosphere in the lounge was not right. He looked back and forth between Zhou Yunwan and Xiang Rulan. After a moment's thought, he roughly understood the source of the shield and spear.
Word spread quickly, and soon the entrance was crowded with people who wanted to join in the fun.
Zhou Yunwan didn't react to this. Xiang Rulan felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't want to bother with Zhou Yunwan anymore, so she packed her bag and was about to leave this place of trouble, but Zhou Yunwan stopped her.
"We shouldn't have known each other before, right?" Zhou Yunwan suddenly asked.
She changed the subject too quickly. Xiang Rulan frowned in confusion and said softly, "Of course I don't know him."
"Since you don't know them, then how did you know about my family situation? Not only do you know that my parents are dead, but you also know that I was adopted by Chief Shen's family? Who told you?"
Hearing this, Xiang Rulan's face changed. She hesitated and subconsciously glanced at the door.
Although it was just a glance, Zhou Yunwan still caught it keenly. Following the direction of her gaze, she saw Zhao Wanwan and Liang Shuqin in the crowd.
The latter seemed to have not expected that she would suddenly look at him, and a trace of guilt and discomfort suddenly flashed across his face.
Zhou Yunwan reacted immediately, and the doubts in her heart were resolved at this moment.
She had felt it was strange before. She was there to save the day, not to ruin it. Her joining the drama troupe was equivalent to filling the vacancy of the dancer role, and it did not do any harm to the entire team.
Besides, the role of dancer is not a major supporting role in this drama. It is not a particularly important role like the leading female role or the second leading female role. She shouldn't be subjected to such strong malice, right?
Moreover, even if there were one or two people who were really dissatisfied with her joining, the rumors about her would not spread so quickly in a short period of time, unless someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes and deliberately targeting her.
Now that I think about it, weren't the only ones in the art troupe who knew her and had conflicts with her the two most important people in the troupe, Zhao Wanwan and Liang Shuqin? I didn't expect that they would do such a little trick behind my back.
Zhou Yunwan narrowed her eyes, then turned to look at Xiang Rulan across from her, and said solemnly, "Whether you believe it or not, all the procedures and formalities of my interview for this role are legal and compliant. Of course, you can also remain skeptical."
"I am a decent person. I usually don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it. Today I'm going to make this clear. Either you can show me evidence that I got into the drama troupe through the back door, or I'll leave."
"Either you guys stop gossiping behind my back in the future. If I find out that you guys are talking about my parents and Uncle Shen behind my back again, don't blame me for being ruthless and reporting it directly to the leader."
Her back was straight, and there was no emotion on her pretty face. Her tone was not harsh, but it gave people a sense of intimidation.
These words were not only spoken to Xiang Rulan and others, but also to other people in the drama troupe. Everyone had different expressions, and for a moment no one dared to respond.
After a while, Zhou Yunwan saw that her goal had been achieved, so she wanted to leave the lounge with Sun Manting and go to the rehearsal place, but before she walked out, she heard someone saying that the leader had arrived.
As soon as the director and deputy director of the art troupe came over, the people gathered at the door of the lounge immediately made way for them.
The head of the art troupe was very imposing, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone: "Are you the ones causing trouble?"
The team leader had a very high prestige, and his angry voice was particularly frightening. The room was silent, and no one dared to speak.
Zhou Yunwan pursed her lips and took the initiative to step forward to explain the situation: "Captain, this is it..."
She reproduced almost verbatim the words she heard at the door and the cause and content of the argument between the several people. She had a good memory and good lines, and her narration was so fluent that even a fool could immediately understand the whole story.
After hearing what Zhou Yunwan said, the head of the group said angrily, "Didn't I say it a long time ago? Comrade Zhou Yunwan is a specially hired person invited by me and Deputy Head He. She is fully qualified in both image and acting skills."
"Besides, Zhang Qiao, who played the role of the dancer before, also knows the whole story. Comrade Xiang Rulan, even if you don't believe in the fairness of me and the deputy leader, you should at least believe in your own companions."
When he said this, his tone already carried a hint of sarcasm. As the head of the art troupe, he had worked diligently in the art troupe for so many years, but this was the first time that his subordinates had doubted his character and bottom line. This was simply an insult to him!
Xiang Rulan was called out by name, and she lowered her head in shame, and quickly explained herself: "Captain, Deputy Captain, that's not what I meant, I don't distrust you..."
Who hasn’t secretly bullied their leader? But no one wants to be exposed in front of the real owner, isn't that seeking death?
But before she could finish her words, she was frightened by the look of the team leader and dared not continue speaking.
Zhao Wanwan, who was not far away, felt her heart curl up in a ball. She clenched her fists nervously and hid her body behind the crowd involuntarily, fearing that someone would notice her.
The air was silent for two seconds, and then an abrupt male voice sounded in the lounge.
"I watched everyone rehearse this morning, and I also think that this female comrade is fully capable of playing the role of a dancer. The troupe leader and deputy troupe leader He have a good eye for selecting people."
Hearing someone speaking for her, Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice and found that it was an extremely elegant young man. His face looked a little unfamiliar, but when she saw the stains on his chest, Zhou Yunwan remembered where she had seen him before.
Her memory went back to more than ten minutes ago, when she had just come out of the cafeteria and when she turned the corner of a building, she accidentally bumped into a man who was looking at his watch.
The tea she had just opened to drink spilled all over the other person.
Neither party looked at the road carefully, and the man seemed to be in a hurry. They apologized to each other hurriedly and then parted ways. Who would have thought that he was from the art troupe?
"Director Cheng, didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"
As soon as the head of the art troupe saw the other person, the smile on his face widened.
