All things considered, Qian Sui is actually inferior to Shang Ziyan.
But no one said it out loud; they just made the comparison silently in their hearts.
Unfortunately, the drama club president was oblivious and asked, "Isn't one performance too few? Why don't you participate in other performances, Chitose?"
Those around her already felt awkward enough, but it was just a quiet embarrassment. No one pointed out that Qian Sui was good for nothing but useless beauty.
Unfortunately, the president had absolutely no tact and asked such a question.
The awkwardness was subtle before, but now the president's words have punctured it, and now the atmosphere is filled with embarrassment.
Something seemed off on everyone's faces.
Shang Ziyan just wanted to elevate herself, but she didn't expect that the president would help her. Now, while elevating her, he can also drag Qian Sui down.
This is practically an easy win.
Shang Ziyan secretly felt pleased.
Shang Ziyan looked at Qian Sui, waiting for Qian Sui to show an embarrassed expression.
However, Chitose didn't seem to realize this. Faced with the president's question and everyone's gaze, Chitose generously replied, "Because I don't know how."
Why not participate in other programs?
Because I don't know how!
This answer was unexpected and quite surprising.
Everyone secretly thought that Qian Sui was inferior to Shang Ziyan in this aspect. They thought Qian Sui would feel ashamed, but unexpectedly, she admitted it so openly.
Everyone thought that Chitose's answer would be something like this: "I'm sorry, I'm trash, I've let everyone down."
But to everyone's surprise, Qian Sui's answer was exceptionally defiant: Yes, that's right, I am trash, what can you do to me?
Chisai is truly and unequivocally decadent.
Some people couldn't help but laugh.
Someone's laughter eased the tension considerably.
A boy who often joked said, "Chisui, you can't do anything? You could be a stand-up comedian! You're killing me with laughter."
Chisui was taken aback, then thought about it seriously: "That's right, I can also do crosstalk."
Chitose's generous and open demeanor actually made her more likable to everyone.
Now everyone forgets that Shang Ziyan is more talented than Qian Sui, and they all think that Qian Sui's personality is so easy to get along with.
Just now, Shang Ziyan was enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention, but now Qian Sui has stolen the limelight.
Chisui stepped onto the stage, began to adopt the posture of a fake princess, and said, "Then let's begin."
The atmosphere in the afternoon was already a bit dull, but Qian Sui's commotion just now livened up everyone a lot, and the atmosphere in the small auditorium was also heated up, making everyone more enthusiastic about rehearsing.
Shang Ziyan sat in the audience to rest, her gaze fixed on Qian Sui.
A fire of jealousy reignited in Shang Ziyan's eyes.
Why is it that she works so hard to learn talents in order to gain everyone's favor, while Chitose, who doesn't know anything, can still gain everyone's favor?
Shang Ziyan wore an earring that had been modified with high technology, allowing her to communicate directly with the person on the other side.
Shang Ziyan's necklace is a positioning system and a miniature camera, allowing people on the other side to clearly see what's happening here.
Shang Ziyan is looking at Qian Sui. The organization behind Shang Ziyan can also see Qian Sui's appearance through Shang Ziyan's necklace.
While Shang Ziyan was still harboring resentment towards the Emperor, the other person spoke up.
"Pay attention to your own condition."
There was no one around Shang Ziyan, and she wasn't worried about being overheard. She took out her earphones, put one on, and pretended to be on the phone, saying, "I don't understand, do people like this kind of useless trash nowadays?"
The man on the other side had been observing Qian Sui ever since Shang Ziyan asked her to play the zither. Shang Ziyan wasn't very clever in this regard, but this man had already noticed something amiss.
The man said, "You really think that Qian Sui is just a beautiful piece of trash?"
Shang Ziyan glanced at Qian Sui, and upon hearing the man's words, her expression changed. She said, "Otherwise what?"
The man snorted coldly and said, "I've already told you about Qian Sui's identity, haven't I? She's lived on the mountain since she was a child. There's a master on that mountain, and many people have gone to visit him, but they've all been turned away. As that master's disciple, do you really think Qian Sui is completely incompetent?"
Shang Ziyan's face stiffened, and she said, "But everyone says she can play the guzheng. So many people were watching today, and I didn't see her play. If she really could, she wouldn't have embarrassed herself in front of so many people, would she?"
The man on the other side said, "Because she doesn't need to show it."
Those who truly possess something don't flaunt it, because they don't need to prove to others that they have something or a talent.
Shang Ziyan needs to quickly let everyone know that she is an excellent person, and she also needs to quickly enter everyone's field of vision, so she needs to show what she is good at.
Chisui is different. Chisui doesn't need to do that, and she can get what she wants without much effort.
This is where Qian Sui and Shang Ziyan differ.
She is someone who doesn't compete or fight, and is indifferent to fame and fortune from the bottom of her heart, because she has everything.
She appears to be unassuming and doesn't compete for anything, but in reality, she's ruthless and unscrupulous in achieving her goals because she has too little.
Shang Ziyan couldn't tell, but the man could.
Shang Ziyan had genuinely thought Qian Sui was completely incompetent, but now, hearing what this man said, she understood.
