“Teacher Chen,” Wang Xiao said with a smile, “Are you free after work?”

“What’s wrong?” Of course, Chen Wei’er wouldn’t directly say whether she had the time or not. She had to wait for his answer before she could decide. If it was about work, she would have time, but if it was a private matter, she would not have time. She was the wife of the He Group’s President. Of course, she couldn’t tell He Xun’s subordinates anything.

Wang Xiao scratched his head awkwardly. “I just found out about what happened yesterday. I brought you trouble when I had dinner with Teacher Chen, so I want to apologize to Teacher Chen. If you’re free, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“I’m sorry, I have something to do.” Chen Wei’er interrupted his words. He knew that there was a scandal about eating with her, but he still wanted to eat with her? If she agreed, she must be crazy.

Wang Xiao had expected Chen Wei’er to refuse, but he didn’t expect her to refuse so directly. She almost wrote on her face, ‘Stay away from me.’ He was stunned for a second before he put on a normal expression. “Then, I’ll apologize to Teacher Chen another day.”

Chen Wei’er smiled and said, “You don’t have to apologize. It’s not a big deal. I’ll go back first. I still have to rush to pick up the child. The child is just like his father. It’s like he can’t live without me.” After saying that, Chen Wei’er turned around and left.

Wang Xiao was left alone in a daze. So, he was in love with a woman who was married and had a child? She looked so young, and according to the information, she was only 22 years old this year. How could she…

At this moment, He Xun, who was far away overseas, sneezed. Did he catch a cold? Or was someone talking about him? Then, he expressionlessly motioned for Yang Zui to continue with his report.

“Director Guan Libo has never given us a clear idea. I think he wants us to bid with other companies, and the one with the highest price will win. This Guan Libo is truly cunning.”

“Who gave him the confidence to think that he’s the only one I can have?” He Xun’s face was cold.

Yang Zui wanted to say, “Didn’t you give it to me?” For the past few days, to avoid his wife, he had not paid much attention to discussing business with Director Guan Libo. However, he had attended many gatherings, big and small. It was inevitable that Guan Libo would think that He Xun was trying to get on his good side. Naturally, he became high-profile. Of course, Yang Zui did not dare to say this.

“Book a plane ticket for tomorrow morning,” He Xun said with a sneer.

When Chen Wei’er returned home, she went to look for Aunt Song and asked her if anyone had come today. Then, she saw a brown paper folder with the dance competition’s registration form written on it. On the lower right corner was the He Media Company’s official seal. Chen Wei’er took out a pen and quickly wrote down her information. Her heart was extremely excited. Last time, she was completely irrational about love and had forgotten her dream. No one knew that she could be a dancing queen. This time… She could truly prove herself.

The next day, Chen Wei’er asked for leave from Wang Xiao and went to the Cultural Center to submit the registration form. As soon as she went upstairs, she was surrounded by the smell of various perfumes and the sound of chattering.

“Teacher Yu, I can’t believe I’m able to meet you here.”

“And Teacher Fang Liu, I’m still following your new drama.”

“That’s right. So many senior teachers have surely come.”

“Oh my god, do we still have a chance?”

Chen Wei’er felt a bit of a headache. They were all people with dance skills, but some of the girls were truly too noisy. She found a corner, but she didn’t expect to hear another clamor.

“Oh my god, am I seeing things? Was it Cao Yaoyao? She’s a dancer and a graduate of a dance academy. Do we even need to compete? We’ll surely lose.”

“Yeah, I remember that Cao Yaoyao came in second in that year’s competition. If she’s so good, what about the first place?”

“Yeah, the number one dancer has left the dance world, right? Otherwise, why haven’t I heard of it?”

…

Chen Wei’er sneered. Back then, she was number one. If she hadn’t met Cao Yaoyao, she would have forgotten about this person. Back in university, she and Cao Yaoyao were roommates, and the two of them naturally became friends. However, Cao Yaoyao’s family background was average, so she found an old man to become her sugar daddy. At that time, she even tried to persuade Chen Wei’er, but because of this, the two of them became further apart.

However, one day, Cao Yaoyao was bullied and Nie Suijing came to help her. Cao Yaoyao fell in love with Nie Suijing, but she didn’t expect that Nie Suijing would confess to Chen Wei’er later. Cao Yaoyao hated her because of it. It wasn’t until she married Nie Suijing that she knew his true colors. Nie Suijing had relied on Cao Yaoyao to take advantage of her family. With the help of that old man, Cao Yaoyao became a popular dancer in less than a year.

The next second, Chen Wei’er saw Cao Yaoyao walking toward her.
