Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 31: A Handsome Man

Xia Yehe's face turned pale when she was yelled at. She bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled. The other girls didn't dare to move at all, fearing that the fire would be transferred to them.

At this time, a male voice said, "Teacher Xiaohe, it's getting late. I want to start dancing. Shall we start?"

Several girls couldn't help but look up secretly, and saw Chen Nuo with his hands in his trouser pockets, no expression on his face, very serious, looking a little scary, completely different from the boy with raised eyebrows and glared before. The girls couldn't help but look at each other secretly, and somehow, their originally heavy hearts suddenly felt a little relieved.

Deputy Director Li snorted coldly and said, "What dance are you practicing? You haven't even finished your sentence. You are the actor who came to the troupe to learn dancing, right? I have heard a lot about you in the past few days. I warn you, you'd better behave yourself in our troupe."

Chen Nuo raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "What did you hear about me?"

"What do you think?" Deputy Director Li said in a shrill voice, "Since you are here to practice dancing, practice well and stop flirting with other girls. I have seen many big stars, and a third-rate actor like you is nothing to me. It's fine if you behave yourself in the future, but if you still don't know how to behave in the future, I will tell your director Chen Kexin to replace him. Do you believe it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a Hong Kong-style voice with a thick accent suddenly came from behind her: "Tell me, which one should I switch to?"

Deputy Head Li was startled for a moment, and when he looked back, his expression suddenly melted, and he smiled with wrinkles all over his face: "Headmaster Lu, Director Chen, oh, and Deputy Minister Li, how did you get here?"

But no one seemed to respond to her enthusiasm. Chen Kexin took the lead and walked into the dance studio with a group of people. Seeing Chen Nuo, Chen Kexin immediately came over and hugged him, saying, "Nuozi, I heard that you have worked hard. Thank you very much."

Chen Nuo said: "It's not hard, it's all I deserve."

Chen Kexin let go of his hand, looked Chen Nuo up and down, and said, "I heard what Lu Tuan said. These days you come here after 8 o'clock every day, practice until or o'clock in the evening, and have no place to sleep at noon, so you have to sleep in the dance studio. I told them that I promised Teacher Li to take good care of you, so how could I let you sleep on the floor at noon. Don't worry, the crew will find a house for you to live in these few days."

A well-dressed middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties next to Chen Kexin said with a smile, "Director Chen, why do you need to worry about the house? There are so many houses in the song and dance troupe, can't we arrange one for this young comrade to rest at noon? Lu Tuan, don't you think so?"

"Of course, Minister Li is right. I will ask them to make some arrangements for this young comrade later." said a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair and a dignified appearance.

Chen Kexin pulled Chen Nuo over and said, "Nuozi, let me introduce you. This is Deputy Director Li of the City's Propaganda Department, and this is Director Lu of the Song and Dance Troupe. Thank you both for your care. Director Lu told me about your situation, and he has always been concerned about you."

Chen Nuo actually heard from Xia Yehe that the director of their song and dance troupe was named Lu, a nice person, but he was often on business trips or in meetings, and rarely appeared in the troupe. He had been here for a few days, but he had never seen him once. Unexpectedly, this Lu was not there, but he seemed to be very well-informed, and he paid so much attention to him that he even knew that he was sleeping in the dance studio at noon.

Chen Nuo quickly said politely: "Thank you Minister Li, thank you Lu Tuan for your concern."

Deputy Minister Li obviously didn't take him seriously. His attention was all on Chen Kexin. He glanced at him casually and praised him casually, "He's a good-looking man. Director Chen really knows how to select people." The attitude of Lu Tuan was obviously much more serious. He smiled and said, "Although I'm in BJ, I've heard from many people in the group that the young man is very hardworking. Not bad. If he works hard, he will definitely have a bright future and will definitely be famous in the future."

Deputy Minister Li looked at his watch and said to Chen Kexin, "Director Chen, we have communicated with Lu Tuan and your actors have also seen it. Why don't we go to the department now? Minister Wang and you agreed to go at 11 o'clock, so it's almost time now."

"Okay, let's go. Don't let Minister Wang wait for us." Chen Kexin took two steps toward the door, then turned to Chen Nuo and said, "Nuozi, I have things to do during the day. I'll call you in the evening and have supper together."

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Okay."

When a group of people walked to the door, Chen Kexin suddenly stopped and said to Deputy Head Li who was standing by the door with his hands behind his back, "What were you going to tell me just now?"

Deputy Head Li's face was a little stiff, and he shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Chen Kexin smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, you are Deputy Head Li, right? We have indeed met before. I heard what you said just now. I would like to thank you on behalf of Chen Nuo for your advice to him. He is just a child, so he is not sensible. Please be magnanimous and forgive him."

Deputy Head Li forced a smile and said, "No, no, Director Chen, you are too kind."

Chen Kexin said, "I'm not saying that much, but I can't change him. To be honest, it took me three months to select the actor Chen Nuo. I searched all the actors in Beijing before I finally chose him. He's not only handsome, but also a good actor. His teacher is also a good friend of mine. I didn't really want him to act in my play at first, and I talked to him privately for a long time before he agreed. During this period, his teacher called me every few days and asked me to take good care of him. Tell me, is it possible for me to change him? I won't change him even if I change the song and dance troupe, haha, hahaha... I'm just kidding. Let's go, Minister Li, please."

Chen Kexin left with Minister Li, but Head Lu stayed behind. He looked at Deputy Head Li with a calm expression and said, "Sister Li, the city leaders attach great importance to Director Chen's play and think it is an important publicity for our film and television base. You also saw that Deputy Minister Li personally invited Director Chen to the city for a meeting. So, you have to know what to do and what to say. After all, you are in your 50s, not young anymore, right? If it really doesn't work out, you can just unload the burden in the future and focus on the spiritual civilization construction, and don't worry about other things for now."

After saying that, he looked at Guo Junxuan again: "You are Xiao Guo, right?"

Guo Junxuan lowered his head and said "hmm".

Captain Lu smiled and said, "There are many female comrades in our regiment, so there are some things that should be avoided. Don't come into this yard again, okay?" Without waiting for Guo Junxuan to answer, he nodded towards Chen Nuo and strode away.

Deputy Head Li also left. Before he left, his expression changed. He seemed to want to say something to Chen Nuo, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Guo Junxuan followed behind her, his face gloomy, as if he had just been stabbed.

After everyone left, only Chen Nuo and a few girls were left in the classroom. After a while of silence, Liu Jiaojiao suddenly said, "This old witch finally gets her day."
