How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 85: New vs. Old

It's time to go to work.

Unlike the busy scenes in the past, the training department today is unusually quiet. Everyone is sitting at their workstation. They appear to be working, but are actually absent-minded.

The air was filled with tension. Even the people who usually talked the most kept their mouths shut today. Everyone's behavior was surprisingly uniform, with documents in their hands and their eyes looking in the same direction.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the director's office suddenly opened from the inside with a "click", and then Director Xu walked out.

Everyone averted their gazes in unison, lowered their heads and pretended to check the documents in their hands, but their ears were perked up like rabbits, listening carefully to the movements around them.

Xu Qingyu looked around, then walked to Zhang Wen's workstation and tapped lightly on the table.

"Boom boom boom!"

Zhang Wen looked up after hearing this and saw Director Xu, so he stood up and asked, "Director, what are your instructions?"

Xu Qingyu lowered his voice and said, "Gather in Rehearsal Room 1 and bring the five trainees on the list."

Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what Director Xu meant.

The competition is about to begin!

"Okay, Director Xu," Zhang Wen replied. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Besides the trainees, can I bring a few more people with me? They're all the trainees' professional teachers."

"can."

Xu Qingyu nodded.

As a staunch supporter of Teacher Xiao Zhang, she naturally didn't want him to go alone. You know, there are five teachers on Teacher Gu's side, and Xiao Zhang must not lose in momentum.

Zhang Wen turned around and said loudly to the three workstations, "Teacher Sun Chengcheng, Teacher Li Yuetong, and Teacher Lin Feng, follow me to Rehearsal Room No. 1."

After saying that, he called Zhang Jiajia again and asked him to bring Chen Silu and others to gather outside Rehearsal Room No. 1.

When everyone heard this, their heartbeats quickened.

Rehearsal Hall No. 1 is the largest room in the entire training department, which can accommodate hundreds of people. It is usually used to rehearse large-scale song and dance performances.

Director Xu asked Teacher Xiao Zhang to go there at this time for only one reason: the showdown between the new and old training teachers was finally about to take place.

Everyone has been looking forward to this event for a long time. Even if they cannot see it with their own eyes, they are extremely concerned about the outcome.

Sun Chengcheng was shocked when she heard Teacher Zhang's shout and slowly stood up from her workstation. Li Yuetong's situation was similar to Sun Chengcheng's. She was so nervous that she could only swallow her saliva.

Only Lin Feng seemed relatively calm. After all, he was once a big shot in the street dance circle. At worst, he would just quit his job. If he is not wanted here, I will find another place that will. If he is not wanted anywhere else, I will open a street dance class.

The three of them walked to Zhang Wen's side. At this moment, they had already regarded Teacher Zhang in front of them as their backbone and followed his arrangements in everything.

Zhang Wen waved his hand and walked towards Rehearsal Room No. 1.

I had only taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a shout from behind me.

"Teacher Zhang, wait a moment!"

Zhang Wen looked back and saw that it was Tang Yi. He asked Teacher Sun and others to go first and went to meet Tang Yi.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the other person seemed like a different person. She had exquisite makeup on her face, which made her facial features look more three-dimensional. Overall, she looked less immature and more mature.

"Not bad." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

Tang Yi blushed when she heard this and said embarrassedly, "The makeup artist taught me. She said this makeup style suits me best."

Zhang Wen nodded, "Yes, it is indeed more suitable for you."

Although her appearance is not considered good-looking among the trainees, it is still slightly better than ordinary people. With the help of a professional makeup artist, she is now a real beauty.

Tang Yi was secretly delighted, but suddenly remembered something important, so he took out a few tickets from his pocket and said, "Teacher Zhang, these are 10 tickets for Sister Li's concert. Here they are."

Zhang Wen was slightly stunned. He had just mentioned it casually a few days ago, but he didn't expect that the other party actually got it, and so much of it.

I heard that tickets for Sister Li’s concert were hard to come by and sold out very early. Ten tickets should fetch a lot of money.

"How much is it? I'll transfer it to you." He said as he took out his cell phone.

Tang Yi quickly shook her head, "I didn't spend any money, it was given to me by Sister Li. Teacher Zhang, you must go tonight."

"tonight?"

Zhang Wen looked down at the time on the ticket. It was tonight. He had been planning to sell the ticket. What was there to see at the concert? It was better to just pocket the money.
But seeing the other person's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to disappoint his dear student, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely go."

There are 10 tickets anyway, so I might as well sell nine. They'll still smell just as good.

After hearing this, Tang Yi's face immediately showed a flower-like smile, "Teacher, then I won't disturb you from work, see you in the evening." After saying that, she bowed deeply, and then left happily like a gust of wind.

Zhang Wen put the ticket in his pocket and went to Rehearsal Room No. 1.

The door was open and many people had already come in.

Zhang Wen walked in and quickly glanced around the room. Gu Chunyan's people had already arrived.

The 25 trainees stood behind five teachers including Gu Chunyan, looking quite imposing.

In comparison, Sun Chengcheng, Li Yuetong, Lin Feng and the five trainees behind them seemed a little weak.

"Haha, not bad, you still dare to come. I thought you ran away because you were afraid of losing." Jiang Yijing said sarcastically, causing several teachers around her to burst into laughter, all of them looking contemptuous.

"Teacher Jiang, you're joking. You're not afraid of losing face, so why should I run away?" Zhang Wen said with a smile. He then walked up to Sun Chengcheng and the others and pulled out the concert tickets Tang Yi had given him. "To celebrate our victory in the competition, I'm inviting everyone to see Sister Jiang Lili's concert tonight. Here are the tickets, keep them."

After saying that, he sent them out one by one.

"what?"

Everyone stared at the tickets blankly. No matter if they were on our side, the enemy side, or both, they were all stunned for a moment.

Celebrating victory in a competition?

The judges haven't arrived yet, why are you celebrating?
"Teacher Xiao Zhang." Sun Chengcheng reminded quietly, "The competition hasn't started yet."

"I know. It's only a matter of time before we win. I'll give out the rewards first," said Zhang Wen.

"???"

Sun Chengcheng kept his mouth open for a long time.

She thought that after being reminded, the other party would be more restrained, but she didn't expect that he would become even more presumptuous.

As for Gu Chunyan and the others, they were so angry that their eyeballs were about to fly out like water bullets.

This new guy is so damn arrogant, he doesn't take them seriously at all.

The competition hasn't even started yet, but you're already giving out rewards. Aren't you afraid of getting slapped in the face later?
"Teacher Zhang, I wonder if you've ever heard of the idiom: 'Excessive joy leads to sorrow.'" Gu Chunyan said coldly.

"I know." Zhang Wen nodded. "So I'm just having a little fun now, and then I'll have more fun when we go to the concert tonight. By the way, why are all of you so stern? Is it because you feel the joy of victory? Or are you just not born to like laughing?"

"you……"

Gu Chunyan opened her mouth, thinking of the way the other person had argued with everyone, and in the end all the dirty words merged into one sentence, "Just wait, I'll make you cry in a moment."

"It's impossible for me to cry. I can't cry in this life!"

As they were talking, footsteps were heard from outside the rehearsal room.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw four people walking in from outside, talking and laughing.

They are Deputy General Manager Liu Haiyang, Director of Artist Management Department Wang Jinghua, Director of Record Production Department Yang Zhengnan, and Director of Training Department Xu Qingyu who is walking last.

These people are not only the senior executives of Tianyu Media, but also well-known figures in the entertainment industry.

So the moment these people came in, the room immediately became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on these four people, especially the trainees present, whose eyes were shining faintly.

If you can be noticed by these senior executives, wouldn't it be easy to rise to prominence in the future?
Xu Qingyu asked the other three to take their seats, then turned to the trainer present and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"Director Xu, we're all here," Gu Chunyan said first. "As for Teacher Zhang..."

"We're all here too," said Zhang Wen.

Xu Qingyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that everyone is here, today's competition will officially begin. Let me first announce the competition rules..."

"..."
