"Did the regimental commander approve it?"
The head of the cultural troupe was full of hope, but seeing that Jiang Yinping's expression was not good, he immediately guessed what was going on.
"Did the team leader not approve so much funding?"
It's okay. Didn't I tell you that half of them would be approved? We're lucky.
Our group is completely out of funds right now; we would be extremely grateful for any amount approved.
"Regiment...Regiment Commander, this is the situation, Regiment Commander Gu is not here."
I spoke with his orderly, and his bodyguard said he wouldn't be back for a few days.
Don't worry, Commander Gu will definitely approve it once he knows it was me who asked him, but it will take a while.
Jiang Yinping felt ashamed and didn't tell the truth; instead, she kept it a secret.
"Oh, what's wrong with that?"
"Look at your face. It's only going to happen in a few days."
We understand!
Commander Gu is always busy. Okay, Xiao Jiang, I'll leave this matter to you.
The head of the cultural troupe then realized why Jiang Yinping looked unwell; she probably feared he would think she hadn't handled things well.
"Xiao Jiang, go back and practice this dance hard. We have a cultural performance in a few days. If you perform well this time, you will be the lead dancer in our troupe."
"Xiao Jiang, I have high hopes for you."
Jiang Yinping would naturally be happy to hear this on a normal day, as the lead actors in the troupe received different treatment than others, earning an extra 20 yuan bonus each month.
Moreover, each time someone takes special care of them, their treatment within the group is different, and their level of fame also varies.
The leading performer of the performing arts troupe was truly famous.
She was just a new recruit when she joined the cultural troupe and she became a leading performer. That was something that others could only dream of!
But she can't be happy right now.
She certainly knew why the head of the cultural troupe had chosen her to be the lead actress.
If the funding isn't approved, the team leader will probably change his attitude immediately.
But at this moment, I can't just reveal my own secrets.
Jiang Yinping said awkwardly,
"Commander, this matter is still in its infancy, so please don't be in a hurry."
I'll go see Commander Gu again in a few days. I'll talk to him about this then.
I'll delay as long as I can; anyway, as long as I say I can't see Commander Gu, it won't be my fault.
The head of the cultural troupe laughed when he heard this.
"Xiao Jiang, you're doing great! I believe you can handle this well. Keep it up!"
Jiang Yinping returned to the dormitory with a nervous expression, but in the afternoon, the regimental commander told everyone directly during training.
Jiang Yinping was directly announced as the main performer for this show.
The others looked at each other, especially the main actors who were replaced, since the main members of their performing arts troupe had long been an unwritten rule.
Unexpectedly, a veteran member of the cultural troupe was replaced by a new recruit, and Wang Guixiang's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
He glared fiercely at Jiang Yinping and said defiantly.
Why did the regimental commander choose a new recruit to play the lead role?
Her dance background isn't as good as mine, and she's never rehearsed this dance drama before.
"Aren't you afraid it will be a disaster if you let her play the role?"
The head of the cultural troupe's face hardened.
"Alright, you older comrades should give the new comrades some opportunities to perform."
Although Comrade Jiang Yinping's basic dance skills are not as good as yours, newcomers should be given opportunities to perform. With more training, she will definitely be able to do her best.
Alright, our team leaders have already finalized this matter.
Let's do it this way. Everyone should try their best to cooperate with Comrade Xiaojiang and have her rehearse a few more times so she can become familiar with the dance drama.
The commander's words clearly made his stance clear, and everyone looked on in surprise.
Wang Guixiang turned and left angrily.
Jiang Yinping felt a surge of pride; the sight of others envying her had dispelled her anxiety about being exposed.
After all, Jiang Yinping is only sixteen years old, and in the current situation, she is definitely like a poor person who has suddenly become rich.
In addition, several new female members immediately surrounded Jiang Yinping, showering her with envy and compliments.
Jiang Yinping became completely arrogant.
Several older members shook their heads helplessly. Why was the head of the cultural troupe doing this?
They didn't know, but it was obvious that Jiang Yinping had powerful connections, and they couldn't afford to offend her.
Offending Jiang Yinping meant that the regimental commander would make things difficult for them, and no one would be so foolish as to go against the regimental commander.
So Jiang Yinping set it up in the troupe.
"Xiao Wu, you'd better cooperate with me a little. Can we change this move? I can't do this move."
…………
"Sister Liu, let's not do the splits. It's too difficult. My legs are too stiff. It hurts terribly when I do the splits."
…………
"Director Wang, how about you revise this dance segment again? I want to emphasize the importance of the main character."
We don't need to do a group dance; it's best to do a solo dance with at most four or five backup dancers.
…………
"I want a solo dance. Could you design a simple and easy-to-learn dance routine for me based on my body's flexibility?"
…………
"Yu Mei, pour me a glass of water. It needs to be just the right temperature, not too hot, and it would be best to add some tea leaves."
…………
"Ouch, my foot hurts so much!"
These practice shoes don't fit at all. Go and get me two more pairs.
…………
The entire performing arts troupe was at Jiang Yinping's beck and call.
The head of the cultural troupe returned to his office with a smile to prepare for handling the affairs of his troupe.
Someone knocked on the door and walked right in. When I turned around, I saw the orderly next to Commander Gu.
Upon seeing the military uniform on the orderly, the head of the cultural troupe immediately stood up.
"Comrade, you were sent by Commander Gu, right?"
"I am Commander Gu's orderly!"
"Oh, please sit down, please sit down. I knew that even though Commander Gu is not here, he still cares about Comrade Xiao Jiang's matter."
"Comrade, has Commander Gu approved our application?"
If you agree, I will deliver the application form to Commander Gu's office tomorrow.
"Oh dear, how about I have Comrade Jiang Yinping take the approval form to Commander Gu tomorrow? What do you think?"
The head of the cultural troupe always thought that Jiang Yinping and the troupe leader might be engaged or betrothed as children.
Otherwise, it would be illogical for a regimental commander to personally call and give instructions to a newly arrived female soldier.
The orderly was completely confused by what he heard.
"Director of the cultural troupe, what do you mean by that?"
Our commander didn't say anything about having any connection with anyone else. He just asked me to inform you.
You are not allowed to give Jiang Yinping or Pingzhi any special treatment; she will be treated the same as everyone else.
If you try to get special treatment here, be careful, our commander might remove you from your post if he finds out.
