Fu Jin commented on Jin Zhao’s dance.

“The shortcomings are obvious.”

“Jia Ran is very good at classical dance and folk dance but he’s not very experienced in ballet. Ballet has strict requirements for many movements.”

“Some teachers would even use rulers to correct their students’ poses. It’s too much to force him to do ballet with Jin Zhao.

Fu Jin held his forehead and explained slowly, “This ballet is about a pair of lovers who fell in love at first sight, met again and promised themselves to each other after they confronted their feelings for each other bravely and

openly.”

“This is Western storytelling. The female lead is the most beautiful rose among the nobles, but Jin Zhao’s female lead is a hypocrite pretending to be nice and acting cute. I suspect that she has changed the script.”

“… Pfft.”

Ruan Qi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “I didn’t expect you to be so sarcastic,

Fu Jin.”

“I’m not being sarcastic, but anyone who has watched this ballet would know how it’s supposed to feel. If any dance teachers is watching this, they would

kick these two offstage.”

“If I were Jin Zhao and Jia Ran’s choreographer, I would have chosen the

Chinese fairy tale, ‘Butterfly Lovers’.”

“The tragic love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is like Romeo and Juliet and the characters are similar. It would have showcased Jia Ran’s talent better.”

“Jia Ran is very capable. His aura alone is enough to suppress the two of you. As long as Jin Zhao doesn’t make any big mistake, their victory is almost certain.’

“But poor Jia Ran met a choreographer who didn’t know better and an incompetent dance partner. This performance is an insult to him.”

Mi Qing was unhappy. “That girl is a good dancer. How can you say that? Who are you?”

Only then did Fu Jin turn to look at Mi Qing. He was stunned for a few seconds.

He knew Amy, a minor foreign celebrity.

He said, “I’m just an ordinary dancer. I’m not denying Jin Zhao’s ballet skills but some of her movements and expressions were inappropriate.”

“And this scene is supposed to pave the way for the tragedy that follows.

Without intense love, the sad ending will not be touching.

Mi Qing refused to back down. “I think the girl’s performance is okay but Juliet is such an idiot. She falls in love with someone she knows she shouldn’t and even risks her life for him. She even abandons her parents and brothers. This kind of woman deserves to die.”

Fu Jin frowned. Romeo and Juliet was a classical ballet that had certain historical significance and meant so much more.

He was very angry for it to be ridiculed like this.

Fu Jin was not someone without a temper. He glared at Song Zhou and sneered. “Mr. Song, what thing did you bring? If it doesn’t know how to talk, it should shut up!”

“You, what did you say? I’m not a thing.”

Fu Jin withdrew his gaze coldly and ignored Mi Qing.

Mi Qing still wanted to scold him, but Song Zhou’s head was already hurting from her arguing. “Mi Qing, that’s enough. Let’s just watch the show.”

Mi Qing felt very wronged and started crying. “He scolded me, and you still lecture me? How can you do this? Brother Song Zhou, I’m your woman. If someone scolds me, they are also scolding you. Aren’t you angry that someone

is scolding you?”

“I’m not angry.”

Mi Qing was furious and wanted to say more, but Jiang Jingchen’s cold voice rang out. “If you disturb my wife again while she’s watching the show, get out!”

Jiang Jingchen was angry. His cold eyes were like knives stabbing into her face.

Mi Qing didn’t even dare to cry. She stopped but she was very unhappy.

Jin Zhao and Jia Ran’s performance ended onstage. The three judges voted unanimously.

Ruan Qi’s heart sank when she heard that their opponent also got three votes.

The competition was indeed rigged. Their shortcomings were so obvious that even Fu Jin saw them. The three teachers weren’t blind, so how could they not

see them?

They were all in Jin Zhao’s pocket. Clearly, those rumors were not groundless. The emcee went onstage again and said some polite words before he invited their challengers, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi, onstage.

Jin Zhao looked at Tang Beibei provocatively with a smile as Tang Beibei walked onstage.

Ruan Qi didn’t even bother to shake Jin Zhao’s hand and just stood beside Tang Beibei.

Jin Zhao held out her hand, ready to shake hands with them but neither of them gave her face. She felt a little annoyed.

But she smiled and whispered to Tang Beibei, “Are you guys so depressed because you know that you’re going to lose? Don’t give up so early. There might be a miracle.”

Tang Beibei was a little angry at the woman’s provocative words. She turned to look at her and chuckled before she said, “I can smell your bad breath. I look at Miss Jin again and see that your teeth are yellow, rd advise you to be careful.” “Looking at your face, I can tell that you have some problems with your digestive system. You are constipated and vitamin deficient. You may suffer stomach problems soon, have acne on your face and a distended abdomen.”

“… You, you have bad breath!”

“Have you been taking diet pills recently?”

“You! How did you know?” Jin Zhao was stunned. “Did you investigate me?

What are you up to?”

Tang Beibei sneered and didn’t answer her.

Ruan Qi was puzzled and asked, “Beibei, how did you know that she took diet pills?”

Tang Beibei explained, “Jin Zhao is obviously thinner than before. The pimples under her lips were visible despite the foundation on her face. I saw her drinking tea offstage just now. I think she’s drinking some kind of weight-loss tea.”

“Those things irritate the stomach. If she doesn’t drink enough water to dilute the medicine, she will have problems with her digestive system. Her face also shows that her blood and Qi are blocked. Her eyelids are droopy. Losing weight when sleep deprived is very bad.”

Her nerd friend’s analysis made sense, but why didn’t she understand it?

Jin Zhao was enraged and warned Tang Beibei in a low voice, “Let me tell you, the trophy is mine. Even if you say those words to scare me, you won’t win the competition!”

Tang Beibei was indifferent as she pretended not to hear her.

The emcee reiterated the rules of the competition before he turned to look at the scores for both teams. The team with the higher score would be the winner of this head-to-head battle.

Both teams had obtained votes from all three judges. The audience’s votes and online votes would make the difference now.

The scores were toggling on the big screen.

Tang Beibei held Ruan Qi’s hand nervously. Ruan Qi’s heart was beating like a drum as she held Tang Beibei’s hand tightly.

Meanwhile, Jin Zhao was very pleased with herself because she already knew the result and was just waiting for it to be announced. She wanted to bask in glory of her victory and hear everyone’s applause.

When the scores came out, the audience applauded.

Jin Zhao smiled and bowed to audience with the attitude of a victor as she looked down on the losers.

When the emcee saw the scores, he looked at Tang Beibei in surprise and then turned to the program team staff below the stage.

He used his eyes to ask what was going on and the director gestured for him to continue hosting per normal.

The emcee announced helplessly, “Congratulations to Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi for winning!”

“…?”

Jin Zhao didn’t believe it and turned around to look at the big screen. She and Jia Ran got 88 points, while Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi got 95 points.

How was that possible?

She was so embarrassed that she was about to get cancer. She asked the emcee agitatedly, “Why is it like this? Why is my score so low? Did you guys make a mistake?”

The emcee smiled and explained, “There’s no mistake. This is the overall score. Your score is lower than Tang Beibei’s team because the audience likes their performance more, so they received more audience votes.”

“What…”

Jin Zhao wanted to ask what audience votes… Wasn’t it just a score that the production team could manipulate backstage?

The production team had promised that they would let her win! If she was eliminated now, how would she win the championship?

After they walked offstage, Jin Zhao went up to Tang Beibei and questioned her. “Did you pull a fast one?”

Tang Beibei didn’t know what was going on either, but she was quite happy that she won.

“We didn’t pull any fast one. We won based on our performance. -Don’t act all innocent. The result isn’t supposed to be like this.” Tang Beibei replied with a smile, “You should ask the production team about this. How would I know?”

Jin Zhao snorted. She would definitely ask the production team.. If Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi pulled a fast one, she would definitely not let Tang Beibei off!
