After the Midsummer Night Ball, Esmera’s biggest event was probably the return of chief director Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan could be regarded as the first chief tutor since the beginning of Esmera’s establishment. She was very old, and Bai Shuyi and Xue Jiayi could only be regarded as students in front of her.
It was just that she had been in Esmera’s overseas division for these years, guiding students to participate in international competitions, and rarely returned to China, so domestic students had almost never seen her.
And Bu Xi’s real mentor was Ling Xuan.
To be precise, Bu Tanyan was Ling Xuan’s last student.
Therefore, she could be regarded as the most important mentor in the entire Esmera.
The Bu family, whose eyes were above their heads, looked down on Bai Shuyi’s level, but they could let Bu Xi worship Ling Xuan as a teacher, which showed her strength.
Esmera’s gossip had gone viral recently: It was said that Ling Xuan is going to take another apprentice when she returned to China this time.
Everyone knew that although Ling Xuan had taught classes, Bu Xi was the only person who could be called her closed-door disciple.
So this time, all the students waited eagerly, hoping to be selected by Ling Xuan.
If one was lucky enough to become her closed-door disciple, their future would be boundless.
Xie Yuan, of course, took pains to prepare for his daughter, specially arranged a dinner, and wanted to introduce Jiang Yu to Ling Xuan.
But Ling Xuan directly rejected Xie Yuan’s invitation on the phone, and told him that she would choose students by herself this time, and would not choose students through anyone’s introduction.
Otherwise, her threshold might be broken through.
After Xie Yuan put down the phone, his expression became ugly.
In Beicheng, no matter what the authority was, who would dare not to show him face. This was the first time that Dad Xie had been rejected so ceremoniously.
Jiang Yu became even more curious about this teacher Ling Xuan.
Sure enough, a powerful person would always have the capital to be arrogant and not be afraid of the powerful.
Jiang Yu hoped that one day, she could also have the confidence and have that much strength.
“It’s okay, Dad will find another way for you.”
He still didn’t forget to comfort Jiang Yu: “Even if it’s forced, I’ll give you to her!”
“Ah, you really don’t have to force it.”
Jiang Yu quickly waved her hand: “Even if Teacher Ling doesn’t choose me, I will practice dancing well, and that’s okay.”
“If you can be her student, basically your future will open up.”
“You really don’t have to force it.”
Xie Yuan sighed, he took a deep breath and said dejectedly, “Do you think your father is useless?”
“No!”
“I can’t help you, your father is not as good as that star.”
“Really not, Dad, you are all right I’m fine.”
“You often go to live in his house, but you don’t even live in the house I gave you.”
“Ah, this…”
Jiang Yu looked at Xie Yuan’s frustrated and defeated expression, and felt very distressed: “Then I will not live today. I will move in later, okay!”
“Deal.”
“Yeah!”
The frustration on Xie Yuan’s face disappeared: “I have called the moving company for you, and they should have gone to Cheng Ye’s house to pack your luggage, don’t worry about anything.”
“…”
“From now on, you will live in Xie’s house and treat it as your own home.”
“…”
Not long after, Cheng Ye called, and he yelled angrily: “Xie Yuan! You bastard! Who said Xiao Yu is going to move! Who agreed!”
Xie Yuan said calmly: “She is an adult, she can decide where she lives and who she lives with.”
“I don’t agree! I protest!”
“The protest is invalid.”
“Ah, you…!”
“Calm down, you’re so mad as if Xiao Yu can only inherit your inheritance and call you Dad.”
“…”
Bang, the phone was hung up.
Jiang Yu’s mouth twitched.
There was no doubt that Xie Yuan, the father, would definitely live 100 episodes in the harem drama.
Take Cheng Ye’s head at the beginning.
In order to facilitate Ling Xuan’s selection of candidates, Esmera specially organized a small report performance for the second act of “Swan Lake”.
It was still the old rule, Shen Aoqing played the heroine, and the other roles were sorted according to the different classes of ABCDEF.
Jiang Yu only got the role of a little swan.
All the students were discussing and speculating that Shen Aoqing would probably be chosen by Ling Xuan this time.
After all, she was the heroine with many roles, and her strength should not be underestimated.
“Isn’t Shen Aoqing the closed-door disciple of Teacher Bai Shuyi?”
“Shen Aoqing made it clear that she wanted to join Ling Xuan, otherwise she wouldn’t have signed up for the report performance.”
“That’s right, Wen Lun didn’t sign up.”
“Ah, if she is really chosen by Ling Xuan, wouldn’t Teacher Bai Shuyi feel very embarrassed?”
“Last time in the midsummer night competition, Shen Aoqing suffered a disastrous defeat. Teacher Bai Shuyi may be very disappointed in her too. It is wise to find another way out now, and take action.”
“If she leaves, wouldn’t Teacher Bai Shuyi want to re-select students? I don’t know if I have a chance.”
“Hehe…, this is all in your dreams.”
The students in the audience were discussing in full swing, and Jiang Yu was also preparing hard in the background.
Before taking the stage, Shen Aoqing gave her a contemptuous look.
Even if she won the Midsummer Night Star, so what, she was still a member of Class F, and in important competitions, she couldn’t even be selected for the role of four little swans.
She was just a little swan among the crowd, and would never be a heroine.
There were so many little swans, it would be strange if Teacher Ling Xuan could see her.
However, this time when Jiang Yu came on stage, she was no longer as nervous as she was in the past few competitions.
In the midst of groups of little swans, she seemed to have let go of the heroine’s burden, began to immerse herself in it, and began to enjoy the stage.
Originally, dance was a very personal display. The first one dancers wanted to touch was themselves, and the second was to infect the audience.
If you can’t let go of your mentality, and all you think about was dancing better than others, winning the trophy, winning the first place… all distracting thoughts, how can you devote yourself to it and immerse yourself in it.
After thinking about this point, Jiang Yu completely let go of herself. She wanted to enjoy the stage instead of being bound by it.
Even if it was a group of little swans, as long as she could wear this pure white swan suit, she was the most beautiful one!
On the other hand, Shen Aoqing’s mentality was completely opposite to Jiang Yu’s.
Bai Shuyi was completely disappointed in her, and it would be meaningless to stay under her name.
Shen Aoqing desperately needed a new start, to find a mentor who could really teach her higher skills.
Ling Xuan once mentored Bu Tanyan, if she could be under her mentorship, she would win the ballet queen title in the future, and it would be just around the corner.
So Shen Aoqing put all her energy into it, tried her best to show herself on the stage.
But things were often… too much.
Even the audience and students in the audience could see that Shen Aoqing’s dance was too vigorous, and it had lost its beauty.
Ling Xuan lowered her head and asked the teacher beside him: “Whose student is the Swan Queen?”
“Teacher Bai Shuyi’s student.”
“Bai Shuyi?” Ling Xuan frowned: “I understand.”
There were bouts of ugly.
Even the audience in the audience could see her eagerness to express, not to mention Ling Xuan.
Before the performance was over, Bai Shuyi left the stage with a sullen face.
She really couldn’t afford to lose face because of this student.
After reporting that the performance was over, all the actors stood on the stage and gave a curtain call to the audience. Everyone tiptoed forward, trying to let Ling Xuan see themselves.
