NOVEL NEXT Chapter 132: Well Written
Gu Lingling bowed her head and pondered for a while, then took the pen the woman gave her and began to write.
Actually, if it were a calligraphy brush, it would better showcase a person's writing skills, but it's obvious that there wouldn't be any calligraphy brushes prepared here. This ballpoint pen is already pretty good.
Her small regular script is not only elegant but also carries a sense of presence, unlike something from a young girl's hand, giving a grand impression.
"As expected, it's well-written." Fu Jing nodded in appreciation, seeing Meng Feifei's disbelief, she handed the writing over, "Come, take a look at how well these characters are written?"
Meng Feifei looked disdainful; if Fu Jing weren't leading the team, she would have likely brushed Gu Lingling off long ago.
Isn't it just because she has a good relationship with the village chief's family? She just couldn't stand such a presumptuous girl.
What's so great about writing some characters?
It's only in the countryside that it's considered a big deal; in the city, it's practically a joke.
However, when she actually saw the characters written by Gu Lingling, her previously disdainful expression froze on her face.
Though she really didn't want to admit it, this rural girl named Gu Lingling, whom she looked down upon as not very impressive, indeed wrote an excellent hand.
At least, it was much better than her own writing.
But how is this possible?
Her own good handwriting was the result of practicing calligraphy since childhood.
Her grandfather, Su Changsheng, had one request for every child in the family: to learn calligraphy from a young age. The reason being, apparently, her late grandmother, Tian Wanfeng, whom she had never seen, wrote exceptionally well.
The grandfather missed his wife, hoping the children in the family could inherit her fine writing, hence the early requirement for them to study calligraphy.
But why did Gu Lingling write so well? It's simply unthinkable.
"As expected, it's quite good." Meng Feifei said with a faint smile, "But our dance troupe doesn't have such a rule that good handwriting will get you admitted."
When Gu Lingling came out, Zhang Lanzhi was nervously pacing outside.
She was going in later, but since no one had left yet, there were still quite a few people standing in the brigade headquarters.
"How did it go?" Zhang Lanzhi hurriedly asked upon seeing her come out.
"They said to wait for the notification." Gu Lingling said with a light smile.
"Then you're sure to make it; you were in there for such a long time." Zhang Lanzhi said with a smile.
Just after she finished speaking, a mocking laugh was heard, "Not everyone can get into the dance troupe."
Gu Juan was standing there, mockingly looking at Gu Lingling.
Gu Lingling didn't know where she got her confidence from, but in front of so many people, having a spat with Gu Juan would only lower her own status.
So she directly ignored her.
Her ignoring was unlike how she used to remain silent; on the contrary, just a slight glance contained so much meaning.
There's disdain, patience, helplessness...
It's a case of saying more in silence than words could convey.
Anyone witnessing this would see Gu Juan as overly aggressive, especially considering how Zhang Lanzhi had urgently pulled Gu Lingling over earlier.
In contrast, Gu Juan and Wang Meili had been waiting here early, dressed smartly. There's definitely room for speculation about what's going on here.
Strange, previously Wang Meili seemed quite virtuous; everyone thought she'd make a good stepmother.
But now, it seems she was just putting on an act.
Unless tested, you can't see someone's true nature; when benefits emerge, she thinks first of her daughter, even using unscrupulous means to prevent Gu Lingling from interviewing.
Bear in mind, only one family member can be chosen for the position, at most.
If Gu Lingling didn't make it, Gu Juan's chances would be much greater.
