Xu Qigang's expression was slightly astonished. Luckily, his skin was of the honey-colored kind; otherwise, one would surely be able to see the Living Yama blushing.
"Comrade Sheng Ning, I'll take you," Shen Jianguo offered actively.
"No need!" Xu Qigang said coldly, then directly picked her up by the waist. Before leaving, he instructed Zhou Hong, "I'm taking her to the infirmary. Please inform Chairman Shen."
"Alright, alright... you go!" Zhou Hong responded.
At the hospital, after an examination, the diagnosis was a bone crack. She had to be put in a cast.
"This injury needs to be properly healed; otherwise, it will greatly affect your dancing in the future." The doctor could tell at a glance that they were from the Song and Dance Troupe and advised after setting the cast.
Xu Qigang remained silent throughout, his stern face showing no expression, scaring Sheng Ning so much she didn't dare utter a word of pain.
At this moment, Yang Wenying, having finished dealing with Qin Cuifen's matter, hurried over since it was the same hospital.
"Thank you, Captain Xu. I'll take over from here," Yang Wenying thanked Xu Qigang and then turned to look at Sheng Ning.
Holding a high position in the Song and Dance Troupe, she had only observed Sheng Ning before and heard many bad rumors about her. Today was their first real interaction, and upon closer inspection, her admiration for Sheng Ning grew.
"I'm sorry!" Sheng Ning hugged her knees and cautiously apologized. "It's my fault for disgracing us. I was wrong. I will change in the future and train even harder." These were her sincere words, after her rebirth, she only wanted to turn over a new leaf and live life earnestly.
Seeing Sheng Ning's simplicity, the sharpness in Yang Wenying's eyes softened. However, the matter of tearing Qin Cuifen's skirt couldn't be left unaddressed.
"I ask you, was the ripping of Qin Cuifen's skirt an accident?" Yang Wenying's heart trembled at the thought. If it wasn't an accident, the girl before her had far too malicious an intent.
Qin Cuifen's future in the General Union Dance Troupe would be completely ruined.
Sheng Ning's previously delicate expression suddenly became unusually serious. "Chief, in that situation, it was out of my control. I was dancing well, then someone pushed me. In panic, I grabbed something to prevent myself from falling, and then... and then I didn't expect this to happen either!"
Yang Wenying caught onto the part where someone pushed her, and her gaze became exceptionally serious. "You said someone pushed you?"
"That's right! I don't know who, but with so many people in the audience, someone must have seen it," Sheng Ning replied. She couldn't believe that with so many workers below, no one would have noticed what happened above.
As long as Qin Cuifen dared to keep targeting her, she would have this instigator exposed.
Yang Wenying squinted her eyes and, after a long pause, said, "We will investigate this matter thoroughly. You take good care of your injury."
"Thank you, Chief, but what about the upcoming performances?" Sheng Ning asked.
Yang Wenying sighed. "We lost so much face this time that all subsequent performances have been ordered to stop."
"What?" Sheng Ning widened her eyes in shock. It wasn't this serious in her previous life! "Chief, it's my fault. I'll take all the responsibility. Please don't implicate others." She didn't want to drag everyone else down with her.
A little bit of dissatisfaction in Yang Wenying's heart began to dissipate. The willingness to take responsibility showed that she had a sense of duty, and anyone with that was worth nurturing.
"I will handle this matter." Yang Wenying said, then turned and left. Sheng Ning watched from her bed.
