Chapter 61 Dark under the lamp
Jiang Bai's teary eyes instantly welled up with tears, and a delighted smile bloomed on his face:
"Really?"
"Thank you, teacher! You're such a kind person!"
Looking at those bright smiles, the teacher felt it was all worth it.
Then, he began to worry about Jiang Bai:
"However, time is indeed tight."
"Where are you going to look for them now?"
The teacher enthusiastically suggested:
"How about this, I'll find you a few in our school's dance department?"
"Don't worry about not having enough time. I've seen your dance. It's beautiful, but the moves are quite simple."
"Our students have high professional skills; they can learn a simple backup dance in half a day."
"There's still a week until the party, plenty of time! I'll call the dance teacher right now and ask for a few students..."
He reached for his phone as he spoke.
Jiang Bai was so frightened that he shook his head violently.
His terrified expression made it seem as if the teacher wasn't talking about finding a dance partner, but rather a killer.
joke!
Looking for students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy itself?
That would be like inviting a wolf into the house!
We're all art students, so we have very discerning eyes.
Especially for girls who practice dance, they spend every day in the practice room, so they have a very clear understanding of the human skeletal and muscular structure.
If I were to let them surround me closely, rehearse together, and change clothes together...
Within three days, his identity as a "big-breasted cute girl" will be exposed to the public!
Jiang Bai blinked his big, bright eyes and started his persuasive act:
"No, no!"
"No need to trouble your classmates at school, everyone has to do military training, it's quite tiring."
"Actually, I've already found someone!"
"They're all friends I used to play music with. They can also dance this dance, so our coordination is perfect, we can go right off the bat!"
Upon hearing this, the coordinating teacher's brow relaxed:
"Oh? You brought your own team?"
"That makes things even easier! It saves me the trouble of finding someone to learn to dance."
"However..." the teacher glanced at the empty space behind her, "Tonight is the official rehearsal, where are your dance partners? Why aren't they here?"
Jiang Bai remained unfazed and began to speak:
"Oh, it's because I wasn't sure if you would agree to add more people."
"I was afraid they would make a wasted trip, so I didn't let them come."
"Since you've agreed, I'll definitely bring them to the next rehearsal! I guarantee everyone will be there!"
The teacher nodded, indicating that she understood.
After all, Jiang Bai's solo performance was already amazing enough; adding backup dancers was just icing on the cake. There's plenty of time to have them perform as a group next time.
"Okay, then remember to let them know."
Jiang Bai was overjoyed.
But instead of leaving immediately, he slithered like a little eel to the teacher's computer and pointed to the two lonely characters "Jiang Bai" on the screen:
"Um... teacher."
"Now that we've added more people, shouldn't we also change the names on the program schedule?"
"After all, everyone contributed, so we can't just put my name on the list, can we?"
"That would be so embarrassing."
"Could you please add their names for me?"
The teacher smiled and thought the little girl was quite sensible and knew how to behave.
"Okay, tell me who you want to add, and I'll add them for you."
Jiang Bai watched the cursor blinking in the "Performer" column.
His brain was working at lightning speed, and a string of names he had already prepared popped out of his mouth:
"Add these people to the list."
"Wang Qiang, Li Gang, Zhao Lei."
"And... Su Xiaoxiao."
The teacher nodded as he typed.
Finally, Jiang Bai took a deep breath and pointed at the cursor:
"And one more, the lead dancer."
"Her name is Jiang Baizhi."
"Jiang Baizhi?" The teacher typed it out and read it aloud. "That's a nice-sounding name, a Chinese medicine name."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Bai nodded repeatedly.
Then, he stretched out his finger and gestured on the screen:
"Teacher, could you please rearrange this order?"
"Put Jiang Baizhi first, after all, she is the center of the dance."
"Then the other names were listed in order."
"As for me..."
Jiang Bai paused, his face displaying an expression that said, "I'm being very modest."
"Please put me last."
"I'm the initiator, in charge of forming the team, so I won't steal the spotlight."
The teacher didn't think much of it and proceeded with a series of actions.
The new program schedule is out:
Program: "Love You"
Performers: Jiang Baizhi, Su Xiaoxiao, Wang Qiang, Li Gang, Zhao Lei, Jiang Bai.
Looking at the inconspicuous "Jiang Bai" characters at the very end of the list.
Jiang Bai was overjoyed and even wanted to applaud his teacher in his heart.
Get it!
It was a perfect switcheroo!
This is the ultimate level of "the darkest place is under the lamp"!
On the day of the gala, the list was displayed on the big screen.
When everyone sees the radiant "Sweetheart Queen" on stage, their first reaction is definitely—
"Oh, so that pretty girl's name is Jiang Baizhi!"
"No wonder! A nice name, and a good-looking person too!"
As for "Jiang Bai"?
Everyone would just assume she's one of the backup dancers!
Who would bother to count how many people are on the stage?
Even if someone takes it seriously.
That could also be interpreted as "Jiang Bai was among the dance partners"!
As long as the faces don't match up, then it's safe!
Logical closed loop!
This tactic is called—hiding yourself in the list!
"Thank you, teacher! You've worked so hard!"
Jiang Bai gave a sweet salute and turned to leave.
He turned and left.
Jiang Bai's docile expression vanished instantly, replaced by a wicked grin that seemed to have succeeded in a scheme, his mouth practically stretching to his ears.
"Done!"
"Next, we need to solve the problem of finding a dance partner."
Dance partner?
Where did the dance partner come from?
Of course, you should hire them!
She's now a wealthy woman... no, a tycoon with a fortune in her hands.
Go outside, hire a few backup dancers, it's a piece of cake.
"and……"
Jiang Bai stroked his chin, plotting his rise to fame:
"To prevent Lao Zhang and his classmates from recognizing that I wasn't inside."
"When the time comes, have all the backup dancers wear masks!"
"Have a masquerade ball theme or a futuristic sci-fi theme, and have everyone wear sunglasses and masks."
"In that case, who will know who is who?"
"If Lao Zhang asks, I'll just point to one of my male dance partners who's wearing a mask and has a similar build to me and say: 'Look! That's me! I'm just coasting along in the back!'"
"Although we don't know how long we can keep it a secret, the later they find out, the better!"
"Perfect!"
"It's absolutely flawless!"
Jiang Bai wrapped his trench coat tighter, feeling like he was Mount Everest of the intellectual world.
"I'm such a genius!"
"The intelligence points gained from the lottery are still quite useful!"
