When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 1113: Top Star of the ’60s Cultural Troupe (Finale)

"Or are there other performances that can truly represent our Xiahua’s long and brilliant culture?"

The judges were shaken. If that was truly the case, then *Shishu Ruyi* had to be chosen!

Huo Tianhao added more fuel to the fire. "It’s for this very reason that during the preliminary selections, some of the leaders’ secretaries personally came to watch the performance..."

He didn’t elaborate, but the judges weren’t fools. If there was a problem with *Shishu Ruyi*, they would have surely received clear instructions at some point during the past week.

The person in charge recalled giving his report, how his superior had patted him on the shoulder and solemnly expressed his high hopes for the showcase.

He mulled over Huo Tianhao’s words and read between the lines, and the weight on his shoulders suddenly felt heavier.

He gratefully patted Huo Tianhao’s shoulder. "Thanks, Tianhao. When you have a chance, bring your wife and kids over to my place for dinner."

Huo Tianhao smiled and nodded. "Once my wife is transferred to the city, we’ll definitely take you and your wife up on that offer."

With that, he waved to the children, gave Xia Zhaoyun a quick gesture, and led the kids outside.

The judges huddled together to confer for a moment, then announced to the crowd, "After a serious discussion, we have decided to restore *Shishu Ruyi*’s eligibility to perform. However, all other selected acts will also keep their spots; there will be no further eliminations."

Furthermore, they decided to position this performance as a tribute to the motherland, placing it in the final, climactic spot of the show!

"You are all top talents in this field. Don’t believe every rumor you hear, or let others sway your judgment and turn you into their unwitting pawns."

"Art is a serious matter. In dealing with our heritage, we must discard the bad and keep the good. Any art that is uplifting and reflects the strength of our nation is good art."

"*Shishu Ruyi* is a celebration of the golden autumn, which fits the theme of a tribute to our country."

"If anyone has any doubts, you may raise them openly. I will report it up the chain of command and provide you with a timely and accurate response."

"As for the anonymous report, we will pretend we never saw it. I hope everyone will approach this showcase rationally, without mixing in any personal grudges or preferences!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, surprisingly satisfied with this outcome.

Only Jie Xiaoqin’s face was ashen, her expression one of utter defeat, as if all was lost.

Teacher Su walked up to her and said coldly, "Jie Xiaoqin, you need to remember your responsibility. I don’t care what you’ve done or what circumstances you’re about to face."

"The official performance is in one week. Success is the only option; failure is not. Understand?"

Jie Xiaoqin bit her lip and nodded. Recalling what Xia Zhaoyun had said in the car, a glimmer of hope sparked within her.

’If other organizations besides the Central Political Department are also scouting for talent, then as the lead dancer in a performance that made the final list, there’s a good chance I’ll be picked.’

’As long as I can get into another unit, who’s going to know or care about my past?’

’Time heals all wounds. Didn’t my own mother get a new post to erase the stains of her own failed youth?’

The girls from Group Three had broken out in a cold sweat, but thankfully, the final result was just what they’d hoped for.
