Chapter 20

Bai Yan burst out laughing.

Xu Qingqing understood the first half of the sentence but not the second half.

Just now on the stage, she saw Bai Yan and Wei Wei leaning against each other and chattering, attracting the attention of all the foreign teachers.

Now that she dares to “laugh at” herself?

Thinking of this, Xu Qingqing was furious and ran to Bai Yan, “What do you mean?”

“Do you want me to translate this for you?”

Bai Yan has never been a pushover, and she already knew that Miss Xu in front of her was not friendly to her.

When I entered the room and saw a group of people surrounding Ruan Xiaohui, I could guess that they might have mistaken Ruan Xiaohui for me and wanted to give her a warning in front of everyone.

Since I can’t live with her peacefully, I can only show my fangs first.

At least she couldn’t let Xu Qingqing think that she was easy to bully, and she should know when to retreat.

After all, she will have to stay in the team for a long time. If Xu Qingqing teamed up with the group of girls in the art class to cause trouble for her for no reason, would she still want to live a good life?

Xu Qingqing choked. She didn’t understand what was said, nor did she have the face to ask.

He winked at Zhihua angrily.

Zhihua rolled her eyes and squeezed forward, “Qingqing, maybe you misunderstood? Comrade Xiaobai looked down on our performance, maybe because she has a better program?”

The music on the stage just stopped. Lu Zhenhua and Dean Hu, who didn’t understand the situation, walked back and asked, “Who has a better program?”

“Her!” Zhihua reacted quickly, not wanting to give Bai Yan a chance to shirk her responsibility. “Comrade Xiaobai just said that she wants to perform on stage!”

“Comrade Zhihua, why are you…” Wei Wei was anxious and wanted to speak for Bai Yan.

“Teacher Wei, you and Bai Yan were whispering in each other’s ears when they were performing in our cultural class. Wasn’t she telling you that there was something to perform?”

Wei Wei is a gentleman. Although he is friendly and cheerful, he usually just teaches classes and does academic research at Jingzhou University.

The people I come into contact with are all simple and kind-hearted college students, and it is rare to meet a girl like Zhihua who is so good at telling lies.

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to explain for himself and Bai Yan.

Meng Hechuan also followed over.

Bai Yan thought that since he brought her here, he would at least speak up for her when Xu Qingqing got upset.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her eyes met his, Master Meng turned away indifferently.

Although it was only a brief moment, Bai Yan still understood the meaning of his eyes before he looked away.

‘You have to take care of the trouble you caused yourself’

Lu Zhenhua looked at Bai Yan with a smile, “Really? Comrade Xiaobai can also perform? That means he is really good at both literature and martial arts. We should really look forward to it!”

Everyone followed his words and looked at Bai Yan expectantly.

Bai Yan is in a dilemma.

As for not performing, this is obviously slightly inconsistent with the persona she wants to establish in front of several leaders.

It will make you appear to be cowardly and might even lead to you losing points in your impression.

Speaking of performance, she didn’t want to imitate Xu Qingqing’s monkey-butt-like makeup and go on stage to do aerobics.

After much thought, I couldn’t find a good compromise.

She looked at Meng Hechuan again.

Here, the only person she could call an ‘old acquaintance’ was him.

From Jinling to Jingzhou, Bai Yan also got to know Meng Hechuan’s temper.

This man seemed indifferent, with a stern face all day long that looked as if he was keeping people away.

But at heart he was still a gentleman, and Bai Yan’s deliberate displays of weakness several times always gave him the upper hand.

She moved her mouth and silently called him, “Meng Hechuan…”

I even wanted to secretly put my hands in a gesture to ask for help.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the old man seemed to have guessed Bai Yan’s action, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

He turned his head away and ignored Bai Yan’s cry for help.

When Bai Yan was still immersed in the shock of being rejected directly by him, she heard a timid voice in the crowd, “Sister Bai Yan is really good at singing and dancing. When we were in Room 306, she often sang until midnight!”

She looked over and saw Ruan Xiaohui, who had been ignored, appearing out of nowhere.

What she said was interesting. Whether openly or secretly, she was setting a trap for Bai Yan.

It not only pointed out that Bai Yan had the ability to perform on stage, but also took the opportunity to accuse Bai Yan of being arrogant and conceited for singing without paying attention to others’ rest.

What a vicious move.

As soon as Bai Yan frowned, someone took the bait.

Zhihua exaggeratedly clicked his tongue several times, saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She pulled Ruan Xiaohui over and asked carefully, “Comrade Xiaobai has been living with you for some time. She sings until midnight every day. Isn’t this disturbing other people’s rest?”

Ruan Xiaohui brings out the true nature of living green tea to its fullest.

She tried to force a laugh, “No, no, that’s not what I meant. I just heard some sisters saying that Bai Yan wanted to sing, so I remembered it!”

She looked at Bai Yan again shyly, with a panicked expression, “Sister Bai Yan, I didn’t cause you any trouble, did I?”

The stage has been set up for her, so it is difficult for Bai Yan to refuse.

A smile appeared on her lips, and her almond eyes were sharp after being provoked. “When Chief Engineer Meng invited me to the welcome party, he didn’t say that I needed to perform on stage. But if Comrade Xiao Xu is so unconfident about her performance, and Comrade Xiao Ruan also thinks her performance is boring, it’s not that I can’t make a fool of myself.”

When Bai Yan spoke, she deliberately raised her voice, and her whole body exuded the arrogance of someone who was not easy to bully.

She nodded to Lu Zhenhua and Dean Hu, “Commander, we are the new generation of the 1980s. The spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere. Even if it is a welcome party in the brigade, we can be unconventional and have some exciting performances, right?”

Although Lu Zhenhua is old, he has always been young in mind. He was also interested in Bai Yan’s words, “Oh? So, Comrade Xiaobai wants to inject fresh blood into us?”

Bai Yan blinked, “Does the commander allow it?”

“The little girl is very courageous, and we are naturally looking forward to it!”

Bai Yan was reassured, and her eyes swept across everyone in front of her, and finally turned away from Meng Hechuan, “Then I’ll show off my ugliness!”

Meng Hechuan looked at the fiery figure walking towards the stage, and finally couldn’t help himself.

He stepped forward to stop her, “Bai Yan, we are all family members in the team. If you really can’t perform, forget it…”

Taking advantage of the angle, Bai Yan only pointed at Meng Hechuan and said, “Chief Engineer Meng, isn’t it too late for you to help me now?”

Meng Hechuan was stunned, his expression a little unnatural.

I had noticed Bai Yan’s distress signal just now.

But he was thinking that Bai Yan was very close to Wei Wei just now, and seemed to have some connection with Tan Hean.

He felt that this woman was really good at causing trouble.

For some unknown reason, Master Meng felt a strange unpleasant feeling in his heart.

I want her to suffer a little.

He coughed lightly and slowed down his tone, “Stop making trouble. I’ll go tell the chief not to go on stage.”

After saying that, he turned around.

Her sleeve was gently pulled by someone. Bai Yan did not show a look of ‘surviving a disaster’ on her face. Instead, she said frankly, “No need. I’m ready.”
