Chapter 307: Making false accusations

"Then what other arrangements do you have for the afternoon?" The little assistant didn't mind being scolded, clearly having long been used to it.

"Going to the theater. That girl Murong Xue is rehearsing today, and Mr. Xu will be going too." Nie Jingjing quickly put on her clothes, slipped into high heels, and strode out of the dressing room.

"Are you going to visit the set?" The little assistant was startled. "You didn't apply for this with Mr. Xu beforehand, did you?"

"Do I need to apply to visit the set?" Nie Jingjing paused, turning back to look at her assistant with a sinister gaze. "Why are you always siding with outsiders? Do you still want to be my assistant?"

"No..." The little assistant was sweating profusely with anxiety. "I'm just worried you'll be scolded by Mr. Xu again. He told you not to run around recently and to take your vocal lessons properly."

"I'm going to visit the set to improve my singing," Nie Jingjing said righteously. "Isn't it said that those who perform in musicals have particularly good singing skills? I'll just go and learn from them."

She felt this reason was flawless.

"Maybe Mr. Xu will even think I'm diligent!"

Little assistant: ……

As long as Mr. Xu isn't stupid, he'll know you're going over to be jealous.

Now there are already rumors outside that Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue have a bad relationship and are "plastic sisters." If she goes to visit the set today and something happens that gets caught by the media, who knows how many versions of "palace intrigue" gossip will flow out.

Nie Jingjing isn't afraid of the media writing nonsense, but her little assistant is.

If something really goes wrong, how is she supposed to explain it to Mr. Xu?

She remembers Mr. Xu is going to the headquarters for a meeting today and will only go to visit Murong Xue afterward. At this time, he should be done with the meeting, right?

Please, please, Mr. Xu, hurry to the theater, I'm begging you...

Just as the little assistant was silently praying that nothing would go wrong, the theater on the other side was also undergoing a serious and tense rehearsal.

"Murong Xue, what is wrong with you? This is the lyric for when the female lead falls in love, and you're singing it like a wooden person without any emotion!" Han Zhizuo couldn't bear it anymore and called a halt once again.

The rehearsal for this part of the lyrics had been going on all morning, and Murong Xue kept having problems here, which made Han Zhizuo, who already had a bad temper and strict requirements for the artists in the group, fly into a rage, rolling up the script and pointing at Murong Xue to scold her.

"Do you even know how to sing?"

"A good musical actor isn't just someone who doesn't sing off-key!"

"Right now, you're the only one in this group having problems here, affecting everyone else's progress!"

"You need to know this isn't recording an album where you can fix the pitch later if you sing badly. If you're like this when you get on stage, just wait to be booed off by the audience!"

"I can't ruin my reputation because of you. I'll give you one last chance! You go and figure out how to sing it properly, and come back to me in an hour. If you still can't sing it well, get out of my musical group! Don't think I won't replace you just because you're the female lead!"

Whenever it involved singing parts about love, Murong Xue didn't perform very well.

Previously, Han Baoping had considered that Murong Xue was a newcomer, and coupled with her singing talent, he had shown her a bit more patience.

But the rehearsals these past few days hadn't gone smoothly, which had exhausted all of the short-tempered Han Baoping's patience.

Afterward, Han Baoping started critiquing the singing parts of other main characters, while Murong Xue lowered her head and silently returned to the seats at the back of the theater reserved for artists to rest.

Some people who didn't need to be on stage for the moment were gathered in twos and threes chatting, but it was clearly divided by company and faction.

Surrounded like stars around the moon was the second female lead of the musical, Giant Star Media singer Song Jiamo.

The little sisters around her were all Giant Star artists, and hearing Murong Xue being scolded by Han Baoping, they were all somewhat gloating.

"Hehe, and she boasts about talent? I think it doesn't even sound as good as a crow!"

"I originally thought the person Han Zhizuo took a fancy to really had some talent; it turns out she only knows how to imitate the Heavenly Queen's singing. Now that she's asked to sing parts in a musical, her true colors are revealed."

"It's outrageous that such a person could be chosen as the female lead. I think it would be better to let our Jiamo be the female lead!"

"There's a reason why people aren't popular. With Murong Xue's qualifications, no matter how hard she jumps around, she won't become popular."

……

"These people are too much!" An Ran, who accompanied Murong Xue back to the resting area, heard those sharp and mean words and wanted to go over and argue with them in anger, but was stopped by Murong Xue.

"Don't go, it will cause trouble for Brother Xu." Murong Xue shook her head. She had heard too many of these slanderous words and was already numb to them. For her, the most important thing now was to find the feeling as soon as possible and satisfy Han Baoping.

She took the water cup from An Ran's hand, lowered her head, tried her best to ignore those disdainful or mocking gazes, and hurried toward the empty seats in the back row.

However, just as she passed by a girl, that girl quietly reached out and pushed her from behind.

Murong Xue didn't stand steady, and the water in her cup splashed all over Song Jiamo.

"What is wrong with you? You got Jiamo's dress dirty!" the girl screamed fussily, while very diligently asking her assistant to bring tissues to wipe the water stains off Song Jiamo's dress.

The water in Murong Xue's cup was clear water; even if it splashed on clothes, it wouldn't cause stains, but Song Jiamo still frowned in great disgust and rolled her eyes at Murong Xue.

"How unlucky!"

"Exactly, there's such a big empty space on the side, but she had to squeeze toward us. Jiamo, I think she did it on purpose!" The girl who pushed Murong Xue made a false accusation, pointing at Murong Xue and shouting, "Aren't you going to apologize to Jiamo immediately?"

"Zhang Qingqing, are you sick?" An Ran couldn't hold it back anymore, stood in front of Murong Xue, and retorted, "It was clearly you who pushed our Xiao Xue, why should she apologize? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. If you hadn't pushed her, the water in her hand wouldn't have spilled at all!"

"Don't make false accusations!" Zhang Qingqing said with impunity. "Do you have any evidence to prove I pushed her? Ask the others, did anyone see me push her?"

As she spoke, she looked at the others around her.

These people were all from Giant Star Media and naturally helped Zhang Qingqing, shaking their heads one after another.

"We clearly saw Murong Xue herself wasn't careful and didn't stand steady, which is why she spilled water on Song Jiamo. Don't try to shirk responsibility!"

"People like Murong Xue really can't be brought into the light. Playing such tricks in public and not admitting it when caught red-handed by us, I think she's just jealous that our Jiamo is popular and good-looking, so she deliberately spilled water to vent her anger!"

"Not even popular yet and already so vicious. If she had a bit of popularity, wouldn't she be lawless? Letting such a person participate in a musical is simply a stain on art!" ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
