Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Fu Jing was also taken aback. It was hard for her to find such a promising talent, yet she was rejected.

Yes, rejected!

The girl didn't want to join the dance troupe.

This was extremely rare during her recruitment trips.

Now, who doesn't want to join the dance troupe? Some people aren't even qualified.

But that girl just didn't want to go.

The most crucial part was, her family actually agreed to it.

Do they know what this means? Do they know what they're losing? Such a good opportunity to change their destiny, just missed like that, Fu Jing felt regret for them.

But that girl was so stubborn, she simply wouldn't agree.

Fu Jing was annoyed and didn't believe she couldn't find another girl with such potential.

So she came personally to Nanshui Village.

Even though she was annoyed, after seeing so many children, very few truly satisfied her.

She was the type who would rather have none than settle for less. After having He Yue as a promising candidate, none of the others caught her eye.

"Juanzi, do your best." When it was Gu Juan's turn to go in, Wang Meili held her daughter's hand and encouraged her.

She had already inquired earlier about the dance troupe's conditions, and she secretly had Gu Juan practice many times at home these past few nights.

Moreover, arrangements had been made on the county's side. As long as Gu Juan passed the selection here, the spot in the dance troupe would surely be hers.

As for others, like Gu Lingling, she's grown to look a bit more like her late mother in these months, but so what?

Anyone competing with Gu Juan for the spot, Wang Meili had ways to make them leave.

Gu Juan spent noticeably more time inside than others, and Wang Meili's smile gradually widened.

When Gu Juan came out with a proud expression, Wang Meili knew it was almost certain.

"Lingling, don't be afraid." Zhang Lanzhi got upset seeing the smug looks on the mother and daughter, "Just answer whatever they ask, don't be afraid."

Gu Lingling really wanted to tell her Aunt Lanzhi that she wasn't afraid at all.

But seeing Zhang Lanzhi's nervous look, Gu Lingling held her hand back and smiled, "Aunt Lanzhi, just wait for my good news."

Heh!

Nearby, Gu Juan laughed unkindly, sarcastically looking Gu Lingling up and down.

Coming like this, she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Gu Lingling was wearing a gray top altered by Gu Chunmei and black pants, looking very ordinary among the crowd.

Although, admittedly, over the past few months, Gu Lingling looked much better than before and even grew taller.

But so what, dressed like that, looking so rustic yet wanting to join the dance troupe, unless the troupe leader is blind.

Zhang Lanzhi regretted at this moment, if she had known, she would've let Gu Lingling change before coming.

But going back now was impossible.

The few girls who went in next came out particularly fast, one almost cried when she came out, and her family scolded her fiercely seeing her like that.

"I told you not to come, yet you don't mind losing face." A middle-aged woman, presumably the girl's mother, followed her, pinching her hard on the arm, "Hurry back and get to work for your mother."

The girl was Ge Dan Ni, whom Gu Lingling also knew from their village.

Ge Dan Ni was dragged away by her mother Wang Lanhua, who was cursing as they left the brigade office.

Gu Lingling silently sympathized with Ge Dan Ni; Wang Lanhua's fierceness was well-known in Nanshui Village.

While she was lost in thought, Zhang Lanzhi suddenly nudged her, "Hurry on in, it's your turn."
