Fortunately, most people nowadays were still very simple and honest. If it were changed to later, someone would definitely be eager to step on her.
Although she was scolded, Sheng Ning still couldn't help but laugh.
The feeling of being able to start over was really nice.
In this life, she would absolutely not be as selfish and shallow as before, fighting for things that never belonged to her.
Thinking of the warm embrace before dying, Sheng Ning's lips curved into a warm smile.
In this life, she would never miss that cold, silent, intimidating, yet warm man again.
Qin Cuifen looked at Sheng Ning and felt that something was off.
The lineup for the General Union's gala was very strong, with even the high-ranking officials of the General Union attending personally. Leaders of the General Union Dance Troupe were also seated at the front, watching.
Backstage grew increasingly busy with the passage of time. Sheng Ning had only been in the General Union Dance Troupe for less than a year. She liked to slack off during training and had poor relationships with others, so she originally did not have the opportunity to perform. But because she was beautiful, with snow-white skin and delicate like a rose, her big, watery eyes shone brightly. Even if she was otherwise useless, her presence could bring some face to the General Union Dance Troupe.
In modern terms, she single-handedly raised the overall attractiveness of the troupe.
Her dance troupe was subordinate to the General Union, still a far cry from the Cultural Department's Qianjin Dance Troupe. The latter represented the country in overseas performances, and tonight's main performance was handled by the Qianjin Dance Troupe.
Their General Union Dance Troupe's leader, Wenyin, came from the Cultural Department and had been at odds with the Qianjin Dance Troupe's main leader since they were young.
"Tonight's performance is crucial, whether our dance troupe can bring pride to the General Union depends on you all," Wenyin, a woman around forty years old, dressed impeccably, her hair neatly coiled into a bun. Her lips were slightly thin, and her sharp eyes made her seem very stern and unapproachable.
Seeing Wenyin made Sheng Ning excited inside. In her previous life, after being expelled from the General Union Dance Troupe because of the incident, the only one who came to see her off was Wenyin, who usually looked at her with the most disdain.
"Especially you, Sheng Ning. If you embarrass me again this time, I'll send you back home." Wenyin's eyes swept around before finally landing on Sheng Ning. She distrusted this girl the most, though she saw her potential amidst her usual behaviors.
Wenyin's warning was quite merciless, even harsh. Qin Cuifen was ready to watch a good show, but Sheng Ning simply nodded with a smile, which finally prompted Wenyin to leave satisfied.
After Wenyin left, their dance group leader Lu Xiaoshuang wore a stern face and gave Sheng Ning a sharp look too.
Hah! With a look like that, she was obviously a seductress. They all heard about Sheng Ning's promiscuity back home, that she came to the General Union Dance Troupe because she couldn't get married due to her tarnished reputation.
Did she really think their General Union Dance Troupe was such a chaotic place? Lu Xiaoshuang was absolutely not going to allow such a disreputable woman to stay here.
Sheng Ning ignored Lu Xiaoshuang's glare. Her thoughts were all consumed by Xu Qigang now, so how could she care about anything else? In her previous life, she was too fixated on winning or losing, fighting with Qin Cuifen, and stirring up trouble with Lu Xiaoshuang, only to end up with such a tragic outcome.
In this life, she wouldn't fight or compete. But if anyone dared to frame her again, she would return the favor tenfold.
The brief meeting concluded, and ahead, the hosts' lively voices and the enthusiastic applause from the audience could be heard.
The workers were sincere people, their applause thunderous, making one's blood boil with excitement.
Sheng Ning and the others were changing clothes in a remote area, far from the stage. Additionally, their General Union Dance Troupe couldn't compare to the Qianjin Dance Troupe, so naturally, they wouldn't be opening the performance.
