Chapter 107: A World Without Child Trafficking, Peace and Joy
"Do you still need to know my name?"
Jiang Cheng’s demeanor held the perfect amount of contempt, and the slight smile at the corners of his mouth provoked an angry laugh from the leading woman.
"I’m Feng Jiaojiao. Since you dare to come, you’ve surely heard of my name."
Jiang Cheng’s expression was unfiltered and unimpressed; he curled his lips and said, "If you want to start a fight, start one. If not, hurry up and leave. Saying so many threatening words and parading your title as if everyone knows you."
"Dear Feng Jiaojiao Comrade, I don’t know you, and the people behind me don’t know you either. Why not announce the name of your father or someone else, preferably someone significant? I genuinely don’t have the time to waste listening to your endless nonsense."
After speaking, Jiang Cheng turned around and asked the night school people, "Isn’t that right?"
"Yes!"
"Indeed, announcing your name at the start, who would have heard of it."
"My little cat at home is called Jiaojiao."
"You don’t understand. She’s just trying to intimidate us because we’re not locals."
"I told you, repeating the same old story, with no originality at all."
The night school people knew how to coordinate.
A few words made Feng Jiaojiao turn red with anger!
The most crucial part is that the night school people were absolutely right!
Indeed, she didn’t have any strong backing.
Feng Jiaojiao fought for this performance because she heard that winning first place would grant her the opportunity to join the Beijing drama troupe as a lead.
As long as she went to Beijing, she and Wei Deming would have the chance to interact further.
She had thought that the group of country bumpkins coming from the countryside could be easily fooled, not knowing how the news leaked, causing this group of people to return.
Not only did they return, but they also squeezed her out from performing.
But at this moment, except for uttering a few threatening words, Feng Jiaojiao really didn’t dare to do anything else.
The night school people watched as the flushed Feng Jiaojiao stood still, silent for a long time, feeling a sense of triumph.
The night school students gradually felt happy, looked towards Jiang Cheng, thinking: Following Jiang Cheng, that’s right!
Jiang Cheng and the night school people weren’t planning to pay further attention to Feng Jiaojiao; they all turned around to watch the performance backstage.
Clapping, cheering.
Feng Jiaojiao stood isolated in place, unable to move either way.
Far at the back, Shen Que, with raised lips and eyebrows revealing pride, whispered, "Let’s go back to watch the performance."
Doctor Lian, pushing the wheelchair, couldn’t bear to watch, said, "Rushing over when someone is about to go on stage, just to take a glance?"
"Weren’t you here to heroically save the beauty? If you don’t go over, how will she know you came? How will she know you came to back her up?"
Shen Que turned back, denied, saying: "Firstly, for heroically saving the beauty, the beauty must first agree. Secondly, I didn’t come to back her up; not that I don’t want to, it’s because she doesn’t need it."
"Of course, even though I know she doesn’t need it, I still came, just because I want to stand behind her, to tell her I’m here."
The tone of Shen Que’s speech was something Director Lian had never seen before; it made his face contort.
"Stop talking! Turn your face around, please give me back the shameless and scornful Shen Que."
"This... is too disgusting!"
Shen Que rolled his eyes at Director Lian.
"You don’t understand; we call this a resonance of souls."
Director Lian spat several times, not forgetting to mock:
"Resonance of souls? She doesn’t even know you came!"
"I finally understand; you kiddo are only good at theoretical talk here with me but probably can’t even open your mouth in front of the girl, right?"
Shen Que’s face slightly flushed, stubbornly emphasized: "No way, I’ve prepared my script."
He had been memorizing the script since yesterday until now, perfectly fluent, surely he would be able to speak!
Director Lian stared at Shen Que smilingly, unable to hide his amusement: "It was worth coming, I definitely want to see your spectacle."
Director Lian said while pushing Shen Que back to the front row of the audience.
The performance continued, the night school performed flawlessly, receiving thunderous applause.
The night school was the final performance, and after they left, the last program was a choir—singing the praise of the motherland.
All performers came on stage, along with the audience, everyone sang together this familiar song.
"The five-star red flag waves in the wind with victory songs ringing proudly."
"Singing for our beloved country, walking towards prosperity and strength from now on."
...
"The heroic people have stood up, united and strong like steel."
...
"Cross the mountains, cross the plains, across the rushing Yellow River and Yangtze River."
...
The choir easily moved people to tears.
In such times, singing praise for the motherland produced exceptional effects.
The majestic lyrics resonated throughout the venue, filling everyone’s chest with invigorating energy.
Among them was Jiang Cheng.
The surging emotions boiled and encouraged.
She immersed herself, singing along with everyone till the song’s end.
By the end, everyone was filled with energy, truly couldn’t wait to return and start production now.
The host came on stage to control the scene.
A few minutes later, everyone voted for the best program.
Several staff came on stage to assist with the vote count, and the results were out quickly.
The host, holding the results, smiled showing eight teeth, announcing the outcome.
"The first prize goes to S City Night School’s anti-abduction drama."
Thunderous applause erupted, the night school students cheered, jumped up.
Under the host’s arrangement, the entire cast of night school, led by Principal Wang, went on stage to receive the award.
Presenting the award was the province’s leading figure from the drama troupe.
The leader handed the trophy to Principal Wang, who expressed gratitude and then delivered a thank-you speech.
"Thank you, comrades, for your votes."
"Actually, I know everyone voted for anti-abduction; this was our night school’s original intention, not for honor, but to contribute to the anti-abduction cause."
"Our night school getting here wasn’t easy...."
At this point, Principal Wang glanced at the side of the stage.
Feng Jiaojiao, envious and angry, felt a chill inside, fearfully glaring at Jiang Cheng beside her.
"Are you going to expose me at this moment?"
Jiang Cheng revealed her white little teeth.
"You guess?"
Feng Jiaojiao: What the hell should I guess!
Feng Jiaojiao clenched her palm tightly, staring at Principal Wang, desperately thinking what she should do if the night school exposed her?
Contact Wei Deming?
But they were just starting to like each other, not having established a relationship yet. If it ruined because of this, she’d regret it deeply.
While Feng Jiaojiao was madly seeking a way out, Principal Wang continued his speech.
"Our night school reaching this point wasn’t easy, this journey owes gratitude to the support of various factories in S City, the police bureau’s investigation, the provincial drama troupe’s discerning eye."
"Precisely because of this, the anti-abduction drama shouldn’t stop here."
"Our S City Night School decided to send out the entire set of anti-abduction drama scripts, hoping drama troupes nationally would rehearse and perform, allowing us to contribute to the anti-abduction cause together!"
"A world with no abduction, peace and joy!"
Principal Wang raised his arm high, followed by all the night school students who also raised their arms, shouting together:
"A world with no abduction, peace and joy!"
