Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Invitation from the Ancient Dance Department
Arriving at the underground parking lot, there were only the three of them. She turned to look at Yin Mulan.
“Mulan, are you close with Xia Weibao?”
Yin Mulan nodded, “Yes, Sister Yang, why do you ask?”
Having experienced betrayal, she had become much more cautious. Not knowing what Yang Yilian’s intentions were, she remained reserved about her relationship with Xia Weibao.
She wouldn’t let anyone know she was very familiar with Xia Weibao.
Yang Yilian was silent for a moment, “Can you try to find out her intentions, see if she is interested in joining the Ancient Dance Department.”
There was a hint of regret in Yang Yilian’s eyes.
She deeply regretted her past prejudices against the entertainment industry.
After watching that video of Xia Weibao dancing today, she was so regretful it drove her mad.
If she hadn’t been so arrogant back then and had watched that video, Xia Weibao might already be a part of the Ancient Dance Department.
Yin Mulan opened her mouth slightly, “Sister Yang, didn’t you say you wouldn’t compete with Master Meng for recruits?”
“It’s not really competing. You can ask Xia Weibao what she thinks. If she’s interested in joining the Ancient Dance Department, she’s always welcome. If she’d rather join the Calligraphy Department, there’s no need to force it.”
“Alright, I’ll ask her.”
Yang Yilian patted her on the shoulder, “Say some good things. The international dance exchange competition is approaching. If she could represent our country, we might have a chance at victory.”
At these words, Deputy Director Xu Fengxu’s expression immediately changed.
But he quickly covered it up, smiling as he spoke, “Sister Yang, wasn’t it already decided that Shui Ling would participate in next year’s international dance exchange? She’s been working hard for months now, suddenly replacing her, that…”
Yang Yilian maintained a calm expression, “Shui Ling is indeed an excellent child, but her skills are still lacking.”
“She will work hard.”
“But hard work alone is not enough. Didn’t she work hard last year? And yet she came last in the international dance exchange this year.
Fengxu, I know you have high hopes for Shui Ling, but she is still too young and needs more experience. The international dance competition is about our national pride. Whoever has the capability should go.
Our National Studies Association values strength, not just effort!”
Song Fengxu’s face changed.
Yang Yilian also felt her words were somewhat inappropriate.
But she maintained her business-like tone, “I care for Shui Ling too. If she works hard, her future is boundless.
As for the international dance exchange, whoever is capable should go.”
After speaking, she looked at Yin Mulan, “Mulan, try contacting Xia Weibao.”
“Alright.”
Yin Mulan and Yang Yilian left one after the other.
Song Fengxu sat in the car, looking very displeased.
Xia Weibao had just finished her livestream and hadn’t even changed clothes when she received a call from Lu Hualiang.
He was already at the Hongtu Underground Parking Lot and had been waiting for half an hour.
Hearing his complaining tone, Xia Weibao didn’t even bother to change her clothes, deciding to do so at home instead.
Once in the car, just as she was about to buckle her seatbelt, someone gently grasped her chin.
Her head was turned towards the driver’s seat, meeting the man’s smiling eyes.
“What are you… mm…”
His cool lips descended upon her, kissing her red lips. Xia Weibao pounded his shoulder, signaling him to hold back a bit.
They were in an underground parking lot, after all. It was a busy time, and what if they got caught?
But Lu Hualiang paid no mind, his hand shifting from her chin to hold the back of her head, prying open her lips and claiming all her sweetness.
With a thud, the seat reclined, and his tall figure leaned over her.
