Chapter 164: Winning the First Prize
Chi Mingchu has a pretty good talent for dancing, otherwise he would not have been selected by the orphanage to perform at the charity gala, and then be seen and recognized by Xia Shuyu.
During the time when Chi Mingchu returned to the Chi family, Xia Shuyu specially hired a famous teacher to provide guidance at home.
With the blessing of talent and hard work, Chi Mingchu's dancing level is among the best among his peers.
In the previous life, Chi Beibei was tricked by her and became the laughing stock of the party. Chi Mingchu, whose scheme succeeded, put in his full concentration for the next performance.
Due to the tragic contrast with Chi Beibei and his own extraordinary performance, Chi Mingchu was noticed by the dance master Ye Lanshan in the audience and was accepted as his last disciple.
However, the trajectory of this life was greatly changed.
When Chi Mingchu came on stage, the audience was still immersed in the shock brought by Chi Beibei, and they lowered their heads and whispered from time to time.
Chi Mingchu felt as if someone had slapped her in the face dozens of times, and she was extremely embarrassed.
Dance is about spirit and using eyes to convey inner emotions and communicate with the audience.
But Chi Mingchu's mood had been completely disrupted. The anger at being teased by Chi Beibei and the shame of being ignored by the audience, all these combined together made her want to kill someone. Her eyes were murderous and scary.
People come to enjoy the show, not to be bullied. Her expression is so fierce that the audience will not like to watch it anymore.
Chi Mingchu's desire to defeat Chi Beibei was so strong, and Chi Beibei's performance was unexpected, which put a lot of pressure on her.
Perhaps the more you care about something, the easier it is to lose it, Chi Mingchu accidentally sped up the beat.
She was already extremely nervous and seemed a little flustered. She made a fatal mistake, which was magnified infinitely. It took her a long time to find the right rhythm.
Now even the completely uninitiated audience knew that she had stolen the beat.
Even professional dancers can make mistakes on stage, not to mention that this is just a school celebration party, and the audience is very tolerant of such small mistakes.
However, Chi Mingchu didn't think so. In her opinion, the audience were laughing at, humiliating and mocking her, and comparing her with Chi Beibei!
After the dance, Chi Mingchu couldn't stand the feeling of being executed in public, so he ran off the stage without bowing or thanking anyone.
Director Wu, who was sitting on the judging panel, was stunned. He had received a lot of money and wanted to give Chi Mingchu a high score.
What's to be done with him now? Isn't it obvious that there is something fishy going on?
Director Wu cursed in his heart, really, if you want a high score, you should be more dedicated! It's hard for him to do this, isn't it? Is he going to continue to stay in school?
And that Chi Beibei, didn’t she know nothing about dancing during the auditions? Did she really make great progress in just one month? Isn’t this too outrageous?
Director Wu seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Chi Beibei was a poor student before, but now he is the top student in the grade!
Either she is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, or she is really a genius!
In the end, Director Wu gave Chi Mingchu a high score against his conscience for the sake of money.
Of course, Chi Beibei was also given a high score.
There was no other way. Now the whole network knew that Chi Beibei was a good dancer. If he continued to lie with his eyes open, he would really become a joke.
The same was true for the other bribed judges.
The only one on the judging panel who had not been bribed by Chi Mingchu was the famous dancer Ye Lanshan.
She has won all the highest dance awards in the country, including the Lotus Award, which symbolizes the highest achievement in professional dance art. She is a legend in the classical dance world.
The aristocratic school was able to invite this heavyweight figure to attend because Ye Lanshan was an alumnus of the school.
Chi Mingchu knew that such an old artist was not so easy to bribe, and since she was very confident in her dancing skills, he had no intention of targeting Ye Lanshan.
In addition to attending her alma mater's 80th birthday celebration, Ye Lanshan also had other purposes for coming here.
She is now over 50 years old, and her biggest wish is to find a successor to whom she can pass on all she has learned throughout her life.
Now, she thought she had finally found that person.
There are seven judges in total for the evening party. They will give scores to the performances after they are over, and the scores will be summarized and counted when the evening party is nearing its end.
After removing the highest score and the average score and taking the average, the score results for each program will soon come out.
Looking at the obviously high score in the column behind Chi Mingchu's name, Ye Lanshan fell silent.
This student’s dancing skills are indeed pretty good, but her eyes are full of resentment, her ability to respond on the spot is poor, and she made obvious mistakes. No matter what, she shouldn’t have such a high score, right?
Ye Lanshan glanced at Director Wu who was smiling awkwardly and sighed in her heart, thinking that this classmate must have a background.
The already mediocre impression of Chi Mingchu became even worse.
In this way, Chi Mingchu missed the dance master who would have accepted her as his apprentice, and also lost the connections and resources in Ye Lanshan's hands.
In her previous life, she stepped on Chi Beibei to rise to the top, became Ye Lanshan's disciple, and successfully integrated into the socialite circle that somewhat rejected her, but she never realized the importance of interpersonal communication.
She thought that the title of the eldest daughter of the Chi family was very impressive and she disdained to associate with those hypocritical socialites.
Without a good teacher to guide him in this life, Chi Mingchu would not be able to manage interpersonal relationships.
Because it was just an ordinary school anniversary party, and the awards were given only to reward the students, the school did not delve into whether it was rigorous and fair. After the rankings were announced, the host was directly asked to go on stage to read them.
Chi Beibei was standing on the stage taking photos with other performers. Almost at the moment the host's voice fell, Snowball jumped up.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and winning the first prize for the school anniversary party performance. Reward: 30,000 points, 30,000,000 yuan."
Snowball excitedly fanned himself with his paws: "Oh my, now money is just a string of numbers to me."
Chi Beibei was amused by the snowball, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. The picture was frozen at this moment, and this commemorative photo will be recorded in the school history.
After the party, the school gave Chi Beibei a first prize certificate with a temporary name on it, as well as a Polaroid camera.
As Chi Beibei's live accompaniment, the school also gave Sheng Yuanyuan a Polaroid camera, of course, to make her happy.
It is worth it to please the precious daughter of a wealthy sponsor with such a little gadget.
Sheng Yuanyuan jumped up and down holding the Polaroid camera: "I want to take lots of beautiful photos with it."
With the system reward in front of him, Xueqiu felt a little disgusted with the prize given by the school. He stretched out his little paw to compare and said, "It's only one in a hundred thousand."
Chi Beibei played with the Polaroid camera: "I quite like it. When you can show your true form, I will take a picture of you."
"Okay~" Snowball was busy changing his poses on Chi Beibei's shoulder, trying to find the most handsome angle for taking photos.
Chi Beibei and Sheng Yuanyuan were chatting and laughing all the way to the dressing room to remove their makeup and change clothes, but an uninvited guest had been waiting for a long time.
