Chapter 61: He is really looking at me!
Xu Rixin showed an appearance of being selfless, trying to win back some favor in front of the company employees.
He knew very well that if Yun Shuo hadn't suddenly wanted to add a program, naturally there wouldn't be this farce now.
But he had already had a conflict with Yun Shuo, and even for the sake of his own interests, he didn't want to have any direct conflict with Yun Shuo again.
At least in front of everyone, he had to show an attitude of still wanting to ease the relationship with Yun Shuo.
He simply made the final decision and said: "Others don't have any objections, right? Let An Xingyue and Manager Rong perform respectively, and the final result will be voted by everyone to select the program that can be performed at the annual meeting."
"I have no opinion." Rong Yan looked at An Xingyue coldly and replied.
She had always liked Yun Shuo and naturally had no good feelings for this love rival An Xingyue.
If An Xingyue were really a good match for Yun Shuo, she would naturally bless the two of them silently and give up her feelings for Yun Shuo.
But An Xingyue was clearly engaged to Yun Shuo, yet secretly hooked up with Xu Rixin behind Yun Shuo's back. This made Rong Yan, who had originally just wanted to see Yun Shuo a few more times silently, have a glimmer of hope again.
Rong Yan thought of the message Yun Shuo sent her yesterday and subconsciously raised her head to look in Yun Shuo's direction.
Yun Shuo felt Rong Yan's fiery gaze, coughed lightly somewhat unnaturally, and made a cheering gesture to her.
Rong Yan's cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly lowered her head, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
"Since everyone has no opinion, then you two prepare and start the competition."
After Xu Rixin finished speaking, he completely ignored An Xingyue's resentful eyes, turned around, and took Secretary Song to sit down under the stage, looking like a judge.
Xu Tian also pulled Yun Shuo, who was standing in place, away and found a seat behind Xu Rixin.
On the other side, An Xingyue and Rong Yan also walked into the fitting room to change clothes.
An Xingyue looked at Rong Yan arrogantly: "You are not my opponent. Giving up voluntarily now can prevent you from losing face!"
Rong Yan smiled lightly: "Who wins is not certain yet."
Her words implied something else.
Whether it was this competition or Yun Shuo, she was determined to win.
"Then let's wait and see!"
An Xingyue sneered disdainfully.
She was full of confidence, feeling that she couldn't possibly lose to Rong Yan. With her strength, even a fair competition would completely crush Rong Yan, not to mention that Xu Rixin was present today, and all the advantages were hers.
She went on stage full of confidence like this.
It had to be said that An Xingyue indeed had a dance foundation, and her arrogant and domineering aura, although not very likable in reality, was full of aura on the stage, able to bring her advantages into full play.
After a dance with a lively rhythm ended, warm applause rang out under the stage.
Before, the employees of the Xu Corporation still had some prejudices against An Xingyue, but after watching her dance, they had to admit that An Xingyue indeed had the capital to be proud.
After the dance, An Xingyue smiled triumphantly, pulled up the hem of her skirt slightly, did a princess bow, and then walked off the stage with her proud head held high like a victorious peacock, sitting directly in the empty seat beside Xu Rixin.
This made the minds of many employees begin to waver. No matter how annoying An Xingyue was, she was their company boss's rumored girlfriend after all.
Furthermore, An Xingyue's stage performance was indeed impeccable.
This changed the original prejudices of the employees who originally thought An Xingyue just wanted to show off, and the balance in their hearts gradually tilted toward her.
When Rong Yan changed into her dance costume and appeared, the employees under the stage were still immersed in An Xingyue's graceful dance and couldn't recover.
Rong Yan also learned dance since she was a child and had participated in many competitions. Originally, for an occasion like this, she certainly wouldn't be nervous, but...
Rong Yan stood on the stage, feeling the eyes of the crowd under the stage watching her.
This also included Yun Shuo's.
What to do, she started to get nervous.
The accompaniment music started, and Rong Yan instinctively took out a dancer's professional quality, but her heart was in chaos.
Yun Shuo didn't even come to visit the rehearsal usually; why did he come today?
Rong Yan had danced this dance a few times before, and it was completed very smoothly.
But now, even if she didn't deliberately look in Yun Shuo's direction, she could feel the man's focused gaze.
Is he looking at me?
He seems to be looking at me.
He is really looking at me!
Rong Yan got distracted, and her three-and-a-half-turn jump failed, making her fall to the ground in a sorry state.
"Ah!"
There was an uproar among the crowd under the stage.
Rong Yan made such a big mistake; even without voting, the winner and loser were already decided.
An Xingyue laughed gloatingly: "Didn't you learn dance? How could you still make such a mistake? Rixin, if you let her go on stage, it will definitely lose face for your company!"
Rong Yan's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth and climbed up from the stage.
Making such a mistake, in fact, there was no need to compete anymore.
But Rong Yan's self-esteem and pride didn't allow her to give up.
So she acted as if nothing had happened and insisted on finishing the whole dance.
After the performance, there was applause under the stage.
But everyone knew clearly that such applause was just sympathy for Rong Yan, sympathy for her losing the competition.
"What's going on? Manager Rong's performance in the previous rehearsals was especially good."
"That's right, if she performed this dance at the annual meeting, it would definitely amaze everyone."
"What a pity..."
"Is it because she was too nervous?"
"After all, she is competing with Miss An; it's normal to be nervous, right?"
"Miss An's personality is a bit arrogant, but her dance foundation is really impeccable."
This rehearsal hall was originally a conference hall that had been temporarily converted. The seats under the stage were very close to the stage, so Rong Yan naturally heard the discussion of the employees below.
She lowered her head, and a bitter smile curled on her lips.
She still lost.
In fact, she wasn't afraid of losing, but she was unwilling to lose to An Xingyue.
Yun Shuo must be very disappointed in her too, right?
Rong Yan didn't even dare to look up at Yun Shuo's direction, fearing to see the man's disgusted gaze.
However, Yun Shuo, who was sitting under the stage at this moment, was staring at Rong Yan without blinking.
He originally thought Rong Yan was a soft and weak little woman, but just now Rong Yan insisted on finishing the whole dance after the mistake, which gave him a new understanding of this woman he had known since college.
Perhaps Rong Yan wasn't as boring as he imagined, or they were just missing an opportunity to understand each other.
Although Yun Shuo still didn't have a heartbeat now, he wanted to take a step forward and give each other a chance.
"Is it true that there is no need to vote? The winner and loser are very obvious, right?"
Just when people were feeling sorry for Rong Yan, An Xingyue walked to the administrative manager like a victorious peacock.
However, just as An Xingyue's triumphant words fell... ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
