Girlfriend In This Matter

Tang Beibei was unhappy when she heard the man say that some other woman

would kiss him in the future.

“Jiang Jingchen, don’t tell me that you are going to abandon me for another woman. You can’t do that!”

Jiang Jingchen saw her angry look and reached out to rub the top of her head,

but she slapped his hand away.

She folded her arms unhappily.

“Jiang Jingchen, you can’t possibly have you eye on that woman already, right?

Jiang Jingchen nodded with a serious expression. “I wish. It’s not time yet.”

“You…” Tang Beibei gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn’t bring herself to

CUSS.

She looked out the window, her arms crossed, sulking.

Jiang Jingchen saw that the fire he lit was beginning to rage. If he continued to

tease her, he would be the one who would suffer.

“I’m just teasing you. Are you angry?”

“Yes, very, very angry!”

Jiang Jingchen said with a smile, “You little green-eyes monster.”

“You’re the jealous one. You are the king of jealousy!

Jiang Jingchen then said, “Why are jealous of your own daughter?”

“What daughter? When did I have…”

“Oh, hubby, the woman you’re talking about is my future daughter?

“Who else?”

Tang Beibei’s expression turned pleasant again as she smiled. “But I may not

have a future daughter.”

“That’s why I said maybe. It all depends on whether you’ll give birth to one.” Tang Beibei covered her face and laughed. She leaned against the window and said, “Having babies isn’t my business alone. Why is it dependent on me? It’s a genetic lottery and depends on your ability.”

Jiang Jingchen listened to her muttering. “What did you say?

“Nothing.”

“Obedient Beibei, I heard you. Are you doubting my ability?”

Tang Beibei stared at him adorably. Why ask if he already heard her?

Jiang Jingchen replied happily, “You can try tonight and see if I have the

ability.”

The next day, the trainees continued their poise and deportment class with

Fang Han.

But before the class started, Fang Han said that Team B members who were serious about the training were welcome to join Team A.

A few trainees in Team B didn’t dare to slack off anymore after they learned

that trainees in Team A would walk a real runway today.

Xi Tong even fawningly got Fang Han a glass of water; her attitude was much

more respectful today.

But Ye Lan was still stubborn. Although she joined the class, she couldn’t care

less about Fang Han’s guidance.

She was still sulking.

Fang Han found her haughty behavior ridiculous.

After a day of training, the trainees still hadn’t heard Fang Han mention the runway show. They started to think that she was just fooling them and felt a little depressed.

Xi Tong was exhausted after a full-day training. She grumbled, “Miss Fang, did you mean it when you mentioned yesterday that we would walk a real runway today?”

Fang Han asked her, “What time is it now?”

“6 p.m.”

Fang Han nodded calmly. “My show is at 730 p.m.”

“It takes half an hour to get there, an hour to prep before going onstage at 7:30pm. There’s enough time but I didn’t say that you can take part. Why are you so anxious?”

Xi Tong was stunned. She gritted her teeth in anger and said begrudgingly, “Didn’t you say that if we train seriously today and do well, we can join Team A therefore can take part?”

Fang Han replied, “I did say that, but the standards are set by me. I haven’t said

that you’re good enough.”

“… But I think I did quite well. Teacher Fang, why won’t you bring me along? Fang Han chuckled. “You think you’re good enough? Who gave you the right?

“… Teacher Fang, don’t go too far!”

Fang Han laughed and called out to Fu Jin. “Your trainee is arguing with me. Is

it because you have her back?”

Fu Jin shrugged helplessly. “Don’t pin this on me. I didn’t say anything.”

Xi Tong was so angry that she wanted to cry. She had worked so hard today.

Why wouldn’t she let her take part in the runway show?

Fang Han asked again, “Are you done?”

“No!”

Fang Han replied, “Okay. Then please continue with your indignance. It’s none

of my business.”

Xi Tong was speechless.

Fu Jin sighed and looked at the few disappointing trainees.

“Teacher Fang Han has been in the entertainment industry for many years. I trust her judgement. If this was a talent show and you slacked off from the beginning, you would have been eliminated. When she said that she would give you another chance, she was just being polite. You can take it to heart or not, but she had to say it.”

“So, you must work hard in every training session. If you don’t, it’s your own loss. It doesn’t affect other people one bit.”

Everyone in Team B lowered their heads in shame.

Fu Jin continued, “Ye Lan, especially you. I haven’t said a word to you in the past two days not because you performed well or because you were already good enough. It was because you’ve been eliminated the moment you defied Teacher Fang. I didn’t want to waste time on trainees who’ve been eliminated, understand?”

“Why me? My poise and deportment aren’t bad. Why should I be eliminated? Dancers usually had good poise and deportment. Ye Lan felt that she didn’t need any additional guidance from Fang Han.

“I see.” Fu Jin chuckled in anger, and his expression turned colder.

“Ye Lan, it’s my fault for not constraining you guys that you guys have become

so impudent.”

“Ye Lan, who are you to say such words? Is it because you think that your dance foundation is so good that you have nothing more to learn?

Ye Lan pursed her lips and kept quiet.

She was the best dancer here. That was her strength, but he ignored it!

Fu Jin nodded. “I’ve told you when you signed the contract that I will spend money to nurture you for a year and then give you resources to develop your career as an artiste.”

“I don’t restrict you because I feel that you are all grown-ups with ability, ambition and can think for yourselves.”

“Since you think that you are good enough and don’t need anymore nurturing, this place isn’t for you. Please pay the compensation stated in the contract and 600,000 yuan for investment I’ve made on you so far and leave!”

Ye Lan panicked when she heard him ask her to leave.

She wasn’t too concerned about the 600,000 yuan. Talent agencies typically invested millions of yuan to nurture a trainee.

What she minded most was his cold attitude towards her.

“Fu Jin, I’m the best dancer in your dance troupe. I’m always top in class and

you want to fire me?”

Fu Jin nodded. “You think I’m joking?”

“I disagree. I merely disobeyed Fang Han. You are showing favoritism toward your girlfriend in this matter. I won’t leave.

Fang Han was unhappy now. “Do I need any favoritism?”

“Ye Lan, if you want to become an artiste, you’ll offend lots of people eventually with your arrogance. Resources will be a waste on you. You may as well leave early.”

Fang Han agreed to train them this time round because she wanted to help Fu Jin test his trainees.

There were supposed to be 15 trainees in her class, but Ruan Qi was on leave so there were 14.

It was impossible for all fourteen of them to make it in the future.

In terms of numbers, Fu Jin would make a profit if two of his trainees made a name for themselves in the future.

So, Fang Han picked out seven better trainees and gave them more attention partly to test the attitude and reaction of the remaining trainees.

They were all dancers who’d been training since they were young. It was easy to test their temperament and tenacity.

Xi Tong was obviously a fence-sitter. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing but she couldn’t keep her cool. She was self-righteous and lacked self-awareness!

Ye Lan was the best dancer among them, but she was very proud. There was nothing wrong with being proud, but she didn’t respect her teachers and thought she deserved attention all the time.

She was like the typical outstanding student in school.

Outstanding students always got their teachers’ attention and this attention made them vain. Once they lost this attention, they would become angry, resentful and act out in unexpected ways.

If Fu Jin didn’t deal with this small problem now, Ye Lan could become a big problem and he would have a public relations nightmare on his hands.

Fang Han couldn’t bear to see Fu Jin suffer. It was therefore best to kick out the bad trainees as soon as possible!

P.S. from the author: Ming Zhi realized today that she’s a terrible name picker. She has created two supporting characters with Lan in their names, but with different surnames so please don’t confuse them.

The occasional typos that Ming Zhi made are careless mistakes. My dear readers, please let Ming Zhi know if you spot these mistakes and I will correct them.

Finally, thanks in advance for your contribution to the tip jar.. Mwah!
