561: Forcing a duck to climb a tree
Yu Xiaoye remembered that Zhou Ziheng was a little absent-minded during lunch, and it turned out that it was because of this matter.
Perhaps when he was playing chess with Commander Xu, Commander Xu assigned some work tasks to Zhou Ziheng, and Zhou Ziheng took the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.
But how could she get the chance to go on a business trip to Beijing?
"What's the matter?"
"show."
Zhou Ziheng told Yu Xiaoye what Commander Xu had said, saying that a National Agricultural Reclamation Conference would be held in Beijing in May. Commander Xu asked him to take the working group of the Second Division to Beijing to attend the conference and to bring a program with him.
This program requires selecting from the five divisions of the entire corps, which is very difficult. I asked Yu Xiaoye if he has the confidence to do so.
Yu Xiaoye frowned when he heard this:
"The entire Corps consists of five divisions, each with dozens of farms under it. You want me to compete with the talents of those dozens of farms for this single position?"
"Um."
"..." The director really had a mysterious confidence in her. "Director, you really don't know the weight of a burden until you've shouldered it. You can't even lie down and talk without feeling your back hurt."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaoye let go of Zhou Ziheng's waist.
Zhou Ziheng hugged her tightly:
"Who said I don't have back pain when I talk while lying down? I have confidence in you. I think you can compete."
"You're putting me in a difficult position. I know my own limitations, don't I? You might let me fool around a bit at Mishan Farm, but there are always people who are better than you. The Division Headquarters Art Troupe is full of talented people. Who wouldn't be better than me?"
Zhou Ziheng said seriously:
"But I think they are no match for you."
Yu Xiaoye smiled helplessly:
"Don't be so blinded by your lover's eyes. I still have some self-awareness."
"I'm serious. I have confidence in you. If you take it seriously, none of them will be your match!"
Yu Xiaoye looked up at Zhou Ziheng, and seeing his face full of longing, he softened a little and his attitude softened a little:
"The only show I can do right now is Xier. You don't want me to continue dancing Xier, do you?"
"No, not Xier. This program is too long. Didn't you just write a ballet script? Can you cut it down to less than fifteen minutes -"
"How is this possible?!"
Yu Xiaoye couldn't help but interrupt Zhou Ziheng before he finished speaking.
Zhou Ziheng said:
"Can't it be deleted?"
Yu Xiaoye said excitedly:
"It's not that I can't make cuts, but I can't possibly stage this ballet in such a short time. Director, this isn't combat readiness training where you can just give the order and organize a blitz. It'll take at least six months to truly rehearse this show. It requires choreography, music, rehearsals, costumes, and props. These are all meticulous tasks that require careful polishing. It's already February, and there's no way I can rehearse the show before May."
Zhou Ziheng knew that what Yu Xiaoye said made sense. He knew that rehearsing a new program would take time, but he still refused to give up:
"But didn't you stage "The White-Haired Girl" when you had nothing?"
"That's different. 'The White-Haired Girl' is ready-made. The music, the dance, the story, everything is already there. I can just copy it and learn from the movie. But now, I have no idea what to do with this newly written script. You're really giving me a hard time."
Zhou Ziheng had already thought of a countermeasure:
"Given the level of our farm, this might be really difficult. So, how about I ask Director Chen to transfer you to the division art troupe? We can rehearse this program in the name of the division art troupe.
The division art troupe is professional and can freely deploy all the artistic talents of the 19 farms of the Second Division. Let's concentrate our efforts on major tasks.
As long as you are willing, you must arrange this program as soon as possible."
When Yu Xiaoye heard him say this, he knew that this guy had planned it long ago. No wonder he was in a daze during lunch.
To be honest, as a girlfriend, Yu Xiaoye was very considerate of Zhou Ziheng and wanted to help him fulfill his wish, but the reality was that the difficulties lay ahead and could not be ignored:
"Manager, the problem is not talent, the problem is that time is really tight."
"How about giving it a try?"
"You've mobilized so many people to help me arrange this show, but what if I don't get selected?"
"Don't worry, we'll do our best and leave the rest to fate. I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but I really think you can do it."
“…”
Yu Xiaoye was in a dilemma.
This burden is really too heavy. It is not easy to rehearse a program well, let alone the short time.
When I wrote this script, it was just a flash of inspiration. I didn't think about anything else and just picked up the pen and wrote. After I finished writing, I didn't think about rehearsing it immediately.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziheng forced the script to be published before it was even hot.
She didn't want to take on this burden beyond her capabilities, but looking at Zhou Ziheng's extremely eager eyes, she didn't want to disappoint him.
I feel extremely conflicted.
Seeing her frown, Zhou Ziheng lowered his head, kissed her forehead lightly, and encouraged her:
"Xiao Ye, you can do it, give it a try?"
In fact, Zhou Ziheng originally planned to use a different method to persuade Yu Xiaoye.
As long as Zhou Ziheng used a little trick to conceal the real purpose of rehearsing this program, and did not tell Yu Xiaoye that the program was to participate in the Corps-wide competition, he would just say that it was to help her complete the arrangement of the new script.
In that case, Yu Xiaoye wouldn't have so many considerations, wouldn't be under so much pressure, and would definitely prepare the program happily.
However, truth will come out sooner or later, and Yu Xiaoye will know the truth sooner or later.
Maybe Yu Xiaoye knows the ultimate purpose of rehearsing this program and will still continue to rehearse responsibly, but this girl may no longer trust him so much in the future.
There is bound to be a crisis of trust between the two.
He didn't want to deceive her by any means necessary to achieve his goal.
In the past, it might have been understandable that he had used some tricks and cleverness to pursue her, but the two of them had come this far and their relationship was very stable. Zhou Ziheng didn't want to let this matter create a rift between them.
So I finally decided to put aside those ulterior motives and just tell the truth.
By telling the truth, at least he had no worries. He didn't have to worry about whether she would get angry and quarrel with him after knowing the truth.
This girl looks well-behaved and obedient on the surface, but she is a person with a bad temper. If she really gets angry, he really can't handle it.
Zhou Ziheng himself could not have imagined that he, who used to be fearless, would now be afraid of such a weak little girl.
Now he told Yu Xiaoye his true purpose clearly and put huge pressure on Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, Yu Xiaoye knew that with his mediocre skills, it would be difficult to meet Zhou Ziheng's expectations.
On the other hand, she couldn't bear to refuse.
After a long struggle, he turned and walked away:
"Wait, give me a few minutes, let me think about it first."
