CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol

Chapter 241 - 234: Picking a Quarrel on Purpose

Time rewinds to three days ago

Wu Zixuan discussed the difficulties her group faced with Wang Junhe.

Unexpectedly, she was met with a cold face instead of sympathy.

In reality, Wu Zixuan and Wang Junhe are from the same company, and their relationship is quite good.

Seeing Wang Junhe like this, Wu Zixuan found herself at a loss for words, as the former is now popular.

"You haven’t even finished choreographing the dance. What do you want me to see?" Wang Junhe’s tone became increasingly harsh.

Wu Zixuan and the other girls were feeling uncomfortable, but as the captain, Wu Zixuan held back her temper and said, "We’ve already finished part of it."

"Then show me that part!"

The five girls started dancing, and they noticed the former’s face growing darker.

"Wu Zixuan, you’re the captain, but why is that girl dancing so much better than you?" Wang Junhe’s gaze shifted to Zhang Xiaohan.

As soon as these words were spoken, the training room fell silent.

Wu Zixuan stood there, too angry to speak. How was she supposed to respond?

Zhang Xiaohan was also stunned, not expecting Wang Junhe to say such a thing. She didn’t actually think he believed she danced much better than Wu Zixuan.

She also knew that Wang Junhe and Wu Zixuan were in the same company, and now it seemed like there might be internal conflict. It’s said that Wang Junhe and Meng Meixuan used to be a couple.

Zhu Riri stood there expressionless, though she was laughing inside; she really wanted to see Wu Zixuan lose her temper!

"Why can she remember all the steps?" Wang Junhe pressed again.

"You’re ranked first, and she’s only 48th!" Wang Junhe’s eyes were cold, his words like sharp knives, slicing through Wu Zixuan’s heart.

"I’m sorry, teacher!" At this point, Wu Zixuan could only apologize.

"Maybe you should consider getting a new captain," Wang Junhe said as if casually.

At that moment, everyone was stunned, not expecting Wang Junhe to say something like that.

Zhang Xiaohan felt her heart pounding, almost as if it would leap out of her throat.

Although she knew it was impossible, what if it actually happened!

Even Wang Qingyu couldn’t believe it; this was beyond her understanding. She looked terrified, her eyes wide open.

She hadn’t danced better than Wu Zixuan just now, and if the former was stripped of her captaincy, would she even be allowed to perform?

Jiang Mei’er, on the other hand, showed a surprised expression, thinking Wang Junhe must have gone mad. Would he really suppress a future star from the same company, all for Meng Meixuan?

Or perhaps, was Wu Zixuan planning to terminate her contract with the company?

Her mind was a mess, utterly chaotic.

"Fine," to everyone’s surprise, Wu Zixuan agreed without hesitation.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, the atmosphere so oppressive it made people want to cry out.

"I can forgive you for not dancing well, but you can’t use the lack of time as an excuse. Are you going to use that excuse on stage in front of the audience?" Wang Junhe’s voice was cold.

"You’re already making excuses for not dancing well. What will your team members think? Don’t forget one thing; you’re the C position." Wang Junhe’s final words awakened Wu Zixuan.

Zhang Xiaohan also let out a sigh of relief in secret; as expected, everything just now was like a dream!

Coming from a small company, no matter how well she danced, it didn’t carry much weight.

After Wang Junhe left, Wu Zixuan led the practice late into the night. When she finally stepped into the hallway from the practice room, her tears started to fall.

She felt it was really hard for her; she had been having a high fever, ill for days.

"Zixuan, don’t cry. Let’s practice well together." Zhang Xiaohan walked over to comfort her.

"I’m fine; we will definitely make this stage a success." Wu Zixuan did not blame Zhang Xiaohan, as she knew the latter was just a pawn in the game.

Now she had to solidify these sisters to back her up.

Meng Meixuan also came over to comfort Wu Zixuan: "Come on, let’s practice. Let’s show everyone a great performance."

Wu Zixuan wiped her tears: "I’m going to make this stage the best it can be."

Time flows like water.

Amidst the radiant starlight, Wu Zixuan emerged like a queen, dressed in a black chiffon dress.

After the introduction, the stage transitioned into mysterious blues, cascading down like the vast firmament.

The six of them stood in two neat rows, commencing in a half-squat, half-kneeling posture.

With the rhythm of the music, they lightly patted their knees and rose, beginning the first formation change.

Since they didn’t have to sing, they didn’t have to worry about their breath. This time, their positioning was clean and efficient.

The first center shot was given to Wang Qingyu, dressed in a short top, baseball pants, and sneakers.

After more than a month of training, she, who initially had some dance skills, could now execute a series of not-so-difficult moves quite well.

Coupled with her natural musicality, her flexible waist, and good coordination, her seductive waist-crossing opening move was also executed charmingly.

Wu Zixuan and the other five formed a circle around her, performing different supportive movements.

From the opening until now, the performance felt decent, though it hadn’t deviated from the semi-Island girl group dance style.

They continued changing formations while singing and dancing. This time it was somewhat disorderly, but they stayed on beat.

They did a forward jump, waving their hands, a move that seemed simple but actually required the dancer to emit a playful yet alluring feel.

Expression management was as much a part as the movements themselves.

Wu Zixuan and Jiang Mei’er did well on this.

Zhu Riri was the worst, her face too stiff.

They then moved into the chorus part, which was originally a challenging dance.

But Zhu Riri and Wang Qingyu couldn’t perform it, so they switched to simple shoulder-shaking and hip-popping. Fortunately, their formation was still tidy.

Next, they changed into a triangular formation, with Jiang Mei’er at the front.

Their movements borrowed from street dance "shivering," but not at the level of proficiency needed, so their upper bodies merely shook twice, looking somewhat awkward.

Then they all moved into a synchronized dance incorporating modern and semi-Island girl group dance moves, with no highlights or errors.

From the beginning until now, over two minutes had passed, and the overall dance level was that of a simplified version of Korean girl group dance.

With the change in the music’s rhythm, Wu Zixuan and Jiang Mei’er performed an interaction, showcasing years of physical training to its fullest.

Especially Wu Zixuan; the changes in her leg muscles were clearly visible.

This seven-second duet finally added some brightness to the entire performance.

The group’s formation kept changing; standing scattered, they performed a segment in a horse stance, but Zhu Riri and Wang Qingyu didn’t squat low enough.

Then they grouped together, Wu Zixuan in front, Ju Lin in the middle, Zhu Riri at the back, Wang Qingyu and Jiang Mei’er on the sides, while Zhang Xiaohan stood alone in a unique spot.

Wu Zixuan flicked her hair, her slender body performing a diagonal backbend.

Ju Lin, dressed in a white tight outfit appeared in the C position. She swung her right hand from the back of her head to her left shoulder while lifting her left arm inversely to grab her right hand, performing a "Su Qin Carrying an Arrow" stretch.

This move was highly difficult, a gymnastics act, sparking cheers and screams from the audience.

Then came the final chorus part; they started a rhythmically intense dance.

Overall, the stage performance was barely passable, though this passing mark was based on the low dance difficulty and not-so-complex formation changes.

Other than Ju Lin’s gymnastics move, there was nothing memorable.

This was mainly due to the choreography.

Even though Zhu Riri and Wang Qingyu were holding them back, if Wu Zixuan had strong skills, she could still leave a lasting impression.

One might say that, in a girl group, Wu Zixuan could be a decent tool player, but solo, she was somewhat lacking.

But the program wasn’t just about techniques; it was also about roles and popularity.
