Chapter 1498: Imbalance

Gu Lingling ended up taking on the task of organizing the program.

If she didn’t agree, Mo Hongying would have come to her house every day to nag her.

Since she’s agreed, she has to do it properly.

Gu Lingling carefully thought about some programs and then sketched out some ideas in her notebook but felt unsatisfied.

When Mo Hongying and Zhang Lanfang came to find her, the things on her desk were still out and Mo Hongying happened to see them, "This... is what you came up with?"

Mo Hongying picked up the draft paper and laughed heartily, "Just looking at the drawings, you can tell that if this dance gets filmed, it would definitely be stunning, imagine slapping that bitch’s face with it."

Gu Lingling, "..."

"Stop joking," she said, taking the draft paper from her hand, "this dance won’t work."

"Why won’t it work?" Mo Hongying asked.

"Costumes are one issue, then there’s lighting and scenes, and most importantly, we’re not sure if the military wives can be trained for it," Gu Lingling explained helplessly.

"Besides, the theme isn’t good either."

Gu Lingling initially planned to stage the future-famous "Thousand-Handed Guanyin," but upon further consideration, firstly, it didn’t really fit the military theme, and secondly, the base’s hall lighting conditions might not be able to achieve that kind of effect, so she decided to give it up.

"What a pity," Mo Hongying said regretfully after hearing her explanation.

"Someone prides herself on being a professional dancer, but what kind of dances has she even choreographed? Every year the military wives are ridiculed because of them," Mo Hongying said.

"Sounds like you’re just being resentful," Gu Lingling teased her.

"Don’t believe me, ask Lan Fang," Mo Hongying said, "last year, her so-called model dance was laughed at all year by the female soldiers."

Han Ting wasn’t really a professional dancer, she had just learned dance for a few years, had a flexible body, and loved attention, so when she heard about the event, she volunteered herself.

As for the other military wives, they indeed didn’t have the capability, so she was given the job.

In the previous two years, because Han Ting hadn’t found her foothold, the dances she choreographed were conventional and unimpressive, but at least error-free.

Last year, someone suggested a runway model theme to her, and she created a modeling show which ended up being a mishmash, not only the cultural regiment female soldiers were perplexed but even some of the base leaders frowned upon it.

This year, Han Ting originally planned to redeem herself, but then she got pregnant.

Initially, she thought she could still work on the choreography while pregnant, but when the military wives heard that Gu Lingling could also choreograph, they avoided using Han Ting.

Liu Xiaoqin had to go back to the mountains once for prenatal care, moreover, choreographing required a long period of time.

If any accidents occurred, the military wives wouldn’t be able to shoulder the responsibility.

So they turned to Gu Lingling for help.

"Come up with a good idea," Mo Hongying said after seeing the ideas, having even more confidence in Gu Lingling, "Do you know what Han Ting is saying? She’s going around telling everyone that you’re too young and definitely won’t manage."

The words weren’t so blunt, but during casual chats with others, she’d consistently express her concerns.

After all, this program was supposed to be submitted for the base Spring Festival Gala, if it couldn’t impress, what would happen?

So the word passed to Mo Hongying.

"She should be ashamed."
