Chapter 172 Pride and Prejudice



Luo Xinyue glanced at the group of boys wearing wigs next to Zhang Shaochuan and asked, "What about the girl from 'Those Years When the Girls Chased Me'?"

Zhang Shaochuan remained expressionless: "The conditions are limited, so just make do with what you have."

Luo Xinyue: "......"

It's undeniable that some people are naturally thick-skinned.

Zhang Shaochuan spoke earnestly, while Luo Xinyue listened in silence.

The other judges knew Zhang Shaochuan; they knew he was the school bully, so they didn't dare to mess with him.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shaochuan dared to be so audacious and produce such a program.

Everyone knew that Zhang Shaochuan was deliberately causing trouble, but no one dared to say anything or offend him.

However, as members of the student council, they should have passed on such unreasonable programs, otherwise it would be unfair to the other contestants.

They want to do that.

But they dared not do it.

So they could only look to Luo Xinyue.

Luo Xinyue is the principal's daughter and seems to know Zhang Shaochuan, so Luo Xinyue will have a way.

That's what they thought.

So they all silently looked at Luo Xinyue.

Luo Xinyue also felt everyone's gaze, and she sighed helplessly.

Actually, even if others didn't see her that way, she would have found a way to deal with it.

She rested her forehead on one hand and twirled a pen in the other. Luo Xinyue glanced at Zhang Shaochuan and then looked at the list of programs that Zhang Shaochuan had presented.

Luo Xinyue said, "Your program is a bit too casual."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaochuan was unconvinced and immediately retorted, "How is it casual? I spent fifty yuan to hire a screenwriter to write the script, and we rehearsed for several days."

The boys wearing wigs next to Zhang Shaochuan echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, we rehearsed for a long time."

"The wig cost a lot of money."

"It's not that casual."

The students started talking amongst themselves, and the once quiet classroom became somewhat noisy.

Luo Xinyue raised her eyes and glanced at the group of boys wearing wigs standing next to Zhang Shaochuan.

He said expressionlessly, "What I meant was that your actors were a bit too casual."

Zhang Shaochuan: "......"

Upon hearing Luo Xinyue's words, the boys standing on the stage exchanged glances.

They were all dressed as boys, but they wore wigs to pretend to be girls. And the wigs they bought were obviously of poor quality; they were messy and had frizzy hair.

It looks really messy and haphazard.

Zhang Shaochuan suddenly realized that Luo Xinyue was right.

Zhang Shaochuan kicked the boy next to him with a hint of exasperation, gritting his teeth and saying, "I told you to comb your wigs before you left!"

The boy who was kicked looked innocent: "I combed it, but the more I combed it, the messier it got."

They didn't know that there are special combs for wigs.

After kicking the boy, Zhang Shaochuan looked at Luo Xinyue and said, "Judge, you can't do this. Although our actor is a little ugly, you can't reject our program just because we're ugly. Does being pretty mean you can only perform on stage?"

Luo Xinyue didn't say anything; she felt that Zhang Shaochuan was just making excuses.

A boy wearing glasses next to Luo Xinyue pushed up his glasses and said, "Of course not. As long as the program content is good, we will approve it. Our selection process is absolutely open, fair and just."

As soon as the boy said that, Zhang Shaochuan found a loophole.

Zhang Shaochuan stood in the center of the stage, arms crossed, raising an eyebrow at Luo Xinyue, and said, "Fairness, openness, and impartiality? We haven't even started performing yet, and you're already saying our program is no good? Is this what you call openness, fairness, and impartiality?"

"this....."

The boy who had spoken earlier was taken aback, realizing he had said something wrong.

The judges looked at each other, unsure how to smooth things over.

Seeing their reaction, Zhang Shaochuan became even more determined in his thoughts. He snorted disdainfully and said, "You just think that I usually act like a bad student, so I can't do this kind of thing well. Since you have this stereotype about me, then don't talk about absolute fairness, openness and impartiality. Isn't saying that just shooting yourself in the foot?"

Those people were left speechless after being confronted.

The people sitting in the back also fell silent, thinking that Zhang Shaochuan and the judges had just started talking.

Chisui, clutching potato chips, looked at Zhang Shaochuan on the podium.

Suddenly, I realized that Zhang Shaochuan was somewhat right.

Although Zhang Shaochuan is usually very casual and often skips class to sleep in the library, if someone targets Zhang Shaochuan in class, then it is indeed a problem with his conduct.

However, since this program's selection process claims to be absolutely fair and just, then there should be no prejudice against Zhang Shaochuan.

Zhang Shaochuan's problem was only his conduct in the classroom, and that was all.

This program has nothing to do with the classroom.

Therefore, we shouldn't hold such prejudice against Zhang Shaochuan.

As Qian Sui watched intently, Lin Shu noticed Qian Sui's expression.

Lin Shu leaned forward, tilted his head slightly to look at Qian Sui, and asked, "Do you think what they're doing is wrong?"

Qian Sui gave a soft "hmm" and then said, "Zhang Shaochuan just doesn't pay attention in class. We can't stop him from performing just because of that."

Although I don't know how his show will go, at least give him a chance to perform.

After hearing Qian Sui's words, Lin Shu pondered for a moment and seemed to think they made sense.

Lin Shu then looked at Zhang Shaochuan on the podium and said, "Since you are so confident, why don't you give a performance? We'll make a decision after the performance."

Lin Shu was one of the more influential people in the student council, so he didn't need to come here.

Upon suddenly hearing his voice, the student council members in front turned around to look at him.

Luo Xinyue, on the other hand, didn't find Lin Shu's presence here strange at all. She still propped her head up with one hand, held the pen in her hand, and gently tapped Zhang Shaochuan's program with the tip of her nose, then said, "Then you guys give it a try."

Zhang Shaochuan was slightly displeased when he heard Lin Shu speak.

He looked up and glanced at Lin Shu.

But when Zhang Shaochuan turned his gaze to the side, he saw Qian Sui sitting next to Lin Shu, looking at him expectantly.

Qian Sui looked at Zhang Shaochuan and mouthed, "Good luck."

Seeing Qian Sui made Zhang Shaochuan feel slightly less uncomfortable.

He composed himself and then smiled at Chitose.

Luo Xinyue saw Zhang Shaochuan's eyes and knew that he was flirting with Qian Sui, and Luo Xinyue suddenly felt unhappy.

Luo Xinyue cleared her throat, tapped the table with the tip of her pen, and said, "Let's begin."

Zhang Shaochuan, unusually good-natured, put on a smile and said, "Okay."

The performance began, and the boys took their places.

The background music started, and the performance officially began...
