Chapter 507

"I announced the top twenty—do you qualify?"

Deputy director Wang Laoshi grabbed a girl by the arm and said irritably.

Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly.

"Teacher Wang, have pity on me—just pretend you didn't see me, okay?"

"Sister Zhu is my idol—please let me meet her, okay?"

"No!" Wang Laoshi's face hardened immediately.

"According to the academy's notice, this performance task is crucial—it represents the school's image."

"Normally I'd turn a blind eye, but today…"

"Su Meng!" Before she could finish, Xiao Yu suddenly jumped up and shouted.

Those two words instantly drew everyone's attention.

They instinctively turned to look outside, where several people were walking in, chatting and laughing.

Right in the center was none other than Su Meng!

Hearing someone call his name, Su Meng grinned and waved his hand.

"Hello everyone, I'm Su Meng!"

Is it really Su Meng?

A burst of commotion erupted in the crowd.

Even though Su Meng has nothing to do with ballet, he's a huge star!

How many people here aren't his fans?

"Look at your popularity—no one even noticed me."

Zhu Jiejing, beside Su Meng, teased with a smile.

Su Meng smiled warmly.

"What can I say? It's like attracts like, opposites attract, right?"

"Sister Zhu, you're a goddess to so many boys!"

"No, even many girls would drool over you, wouldn't they?"

…

The lead school administrator clapped his hands to quiet everyone, then spoke.

"Students, today we are honored to welcome the renowned dancer and longtime friend of our Jiangzhe Yinyuexue Academy, Ms. Zhu Jiejing!"

"And another guest—none of you are unfamiliar with him."

"That's the famous musician, director, actor, instrumentalist, writer… Teacher Su Meng!"

"Applause—applause…" The room erupted in thunderous clapping.

Su Meng bowed to them and grinned.

"Everyone, I'm truly sorry for interrupting your class."

"I'm here mainly because I'm currently preparing to film a movie that needs several ballet-skilled roles."

"So I…"

Before he could finish, the room exploded into chaos.

His voice was drowned out.

Su Meng is here to cast movie actors? Not dancers?

This is… incredible!

Let's be honest—how many of these music and dance students haven't dreamed of becoming big stars?

And now the chance is right in front of them?

And it's Su Meng's movie?

Instantly, everyone's spirits lifted.

…

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The administrator clapped hard until silence fell.

"Everyone, get ready—change your clothes."

"Teacher Su will conduct auditions in rehearsal room No. 5."

"Teacher Wang, organize them—let them come in one by one."

"Teacher Su, this way, please!"

Watching the school leaders' eager deference, Su Meng felt a bit helpless.

This felt a bit like a talent show.

Even Su Meng himself didn't realize how high his status was in the music industry.

The school administrators were all calculating their own hidden agendas.

Jiangzhe Yinyuexue Academy is a specialized arts school—if Su Meng would accept an honorary professorship.

Or, like at the Capital Music Academy, leave behind a few compositions, the school would profit immensely!

Otherwise, do you think any random celebrity would get this kind of treatment?

…

"Alright, Xiao Yu, go back now."

The counselor sighed and pulled Xiao Yu, who was trying to sneak in.

In rehearsal room No. 1, chaos reigned—everyone rushed frantically toward the dressing rooms.

Even Xiao Yu, who was just making up the numbers, was no exception.

Xiao Yu grabbed her hand, begging bitterly.

"Teacher Wang, Sister Wang, just give me a chance, okay?"

"Su Meng is my idol..."

"Stop right there!" Teacher Wang said in a bad mood.

"Just now you said Sister Zhu was your idol, and now how has it changed?"

"Don't say 'sister'; even if you call me 'grandma', it won't work!"

"Then fine..." Xiao Yu looked utterly dejected and dragged her feet out of the door of Rehearsal Hall No. 1.

Seeing her lonely back, Teacher Wang also felt a bit reluctant.

"This time is quite important; the school leaders attach great importance to it."

"Practice your dance well; there will be chances in the future... damn it! What are you doing?"

Suddenly, she actually blurted out a swear word.

Because Xiao Yu had just walked out of the door of Rehearsal Hall No. 1 and suddenly took off running.

And the direction she ran... was actually Rehearsal Hall No. 5!

Teacher Wang was completely stunned.

On such an important day, you actually come to cause trouble?

Without thinking, she immediately chased after her.

Inside Rehearsal Hall No. 5, Su Meng and Zhu Jiejing sat in the middle.

Several school leaders also sat down quite naturally.

"Teacher Su, the overall quality of our school's students is still very high."

"Once at the film set, they will definitely obey arrangements and absolutely will not cause trouble for you."

"Moreover, children who study ballet generally have quieter personalities and won't cause trouble."

"They are changing clothes right now and will definitely present their best state..."

Clang!

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the rehearsal hall was suddenly opened.

Xiao Yu ran in panting heavily and shouted loudly.

"Hello, Teacher Su! Hello, Sister Zhu!"

"I am... huff... I am Interviewee No. 1, my name is... huff... my name is Lu Xiaoyu!"

"I am a junior student majoring in ballet... huff... a junior student."
