When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Chapter 98: Top Performer of the 60s Cultural Troupe (37)

In her nearly twenty years of experience in the field, she had never seen a performance this gaudy, aside from maybe a stage play or a grand ethnic chorus!

The mismatched costumes would inevitably distract the audience. For Group Three, this would make it even more difficult to get a high score and qualify for the final performance.

As Master Yuan thought of this, a sneer touched her lips. ’I won’t even have to lift a finger. The overall skill level of the Group Three dancers can’t even match Group Two’s. How could they possibly hope to catch up to Group One?’

She then gave another cold laugh, turned to face Group One, and forced a rare, benevolent smile as she offered them a few words of encouragement.

In stark contrast, the girls of Group Three felt uncomfortable and humiliated as they endured the curious and disdainful stares from the crowd.

Xia Zhaoyun smiled and patted their shoulders. "Girls, you must always remember one thing: your only enemy is yourself!"

"As long as we improve every day, that in itself is a success. Other people’s judgments aren’t objective, and we can’t let them become a stumbling block on our path forward."

The girls from Group Three thought about how they had worked harder than ever over the past half-month. Under Xia Zhaoyun’s guidance, every step had been a huge leap forward. They were a far cry from the amateurs they once were!

They nodded vigorously. "We’ll show them on selection day."

Watching from the side, Song Zhenbao couldn’t help but let out a laugh. She didn’t hold back even when she met Xia Zhaoyun’s cold gaze. "Oh, sister, I’m sorry. I just find your method of comforting people a little amusing."

"Comforting them is all well and good, but if you don’t let them recognize their actual abilities and their flaws, aren’t you just deluding them?"

"Honestly, sister... after you were kicked out of Group One, you shouldn’t have let your pride get the best of you. Did you really have to choose Group Three instead of our Group Two?"

"Are you that overconfident in your skills as a lead dancer, or do you just look down on us in Group Two?"

Her words managed to insult all three groups at once. Even Xia Zhaoyun couldn’t help but laugh. "Song Zhenbao, do you really want me to tell you the truth?"

"Why did Group One push me out? A certain someone knows the reason better than anyone. If I hadn’t been forced out, how could that person have maintained her own ’dignity’?"

"And as for Group Two... well, you’re in it, and I don’t want my mood to be ruined when I’m trying to dance. Sigh. Now that I think about it, Group Two probably lost its chance to compete for a top-three spot because of you. Tsk, tsk. And you don’t even have the self-awareness to realize it."
