Five babies in one pregnancy, I became a top performer in a military hospital.

Everyone quieted down and listened to Yu Jianjun speak.

Yu Jianjun is usually amiable, but he becomes very serious when it comes to crucial moments.

Yu Jianjun glanced at everyone and continued, "This new stage play is very important, and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture attaches great importance to it. Therefore, I personally selected all the actors for this stage play, and each actor is an indispensable comrade in this stage play."

"Especially the comrades from the Beijing Cultural Troupe, several of whom play important roles in stage plays. So, I personally went to pick them up and brought them to our drama troupe. We must treat all the comrades in our drama troupe equally and get along well with the comrades from our cultural troupe."

"If I find out that anyone is bullying members of the performing arts troupe and affecting the progress of the stage play, don't blame me for saying this upfront: you'll be fired immediately, you hear me!"

The members of the Beijing Drama Troupe exchanged glances and said in unison, "We heard that!"

Yu Wanqing clenched her fingers; Lu Yao was right next to her.

Seeing Lu Yao's calm and composed demeanor, she bit her lip in anger.

She didn't believe that Lu Yao, a newcomer, could play the role of Lou Xiaohong well.

After Yu Jianjun finished speaking, he said, "Alright, everyone, you can all leave now!"

Then, Yu Jianjun approached Lu Yao and the others: "Comrades of the cultural troupe, I've had breakfast ordered over at the auditorium. Go and eat first. Around 10 o'clock, all the comrades from the play will gather there, and we'll discuss the script together!"

Lu Yao: "Okay, thank you, Teacher Yu!"

Yu Jianjun: "I should be the one saying thank you. Thank you for staying."

If anyone else had been insulted like that, they probably would have left last night.

Xu Jingyi: "The script has indeed been discussed. I've been busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival performances the past two days and haven't had much time to look at the script yet!"

Lu Yao did read them; when she came across a good script, she would study it as soon as possible.

After the audition, Fu Yuanzheng was away for a few days, and Lu Yao had nothing to do but stay at home and read the script.

Lu Yao: "We've been busy all morning, let's go eat first, I'm really hungry now."

As soon as the performing arts troupe left, the drama troupe members gathered together.

Yu Wanqing was their core, and they all felt that Yu Jianjun was too biased towards the people in the art troupe.

"Wanqing, those people still stayed. What are we going to do? There aren't any good roles for us to play."

"It's not just us minor characters; the male and female leads are both from the performing arts troupe. Wanqing, you're one of our pillars; Teacher Yu can't possibly give you a minor role too!"

"Yes, what is Teacher Yu thinking? We're all on the same side."

……

Yu Wanqing snorted coldly: "What's the rush? Aren't we going to study the script later? Since Uncle trusts Lu Yao so much, we'll embarrass her in public and see how Uncle protects her!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Wanqing has the best ideas!"

"Wanqing, we'll all listen to you!"

"Wanqing, you're the leading lady!"

……

The drama troupe members were dissatisfied but dared not voice their opinions, because if they did, they would be the ones to be fired.

But Yu Wanqing is different. She is Yu Jianjun's niece. Even if Yu Wanqing makes a mistake, Yu Jianjun will not fire her.

Led by Yu Jianjun, Lu Yao and the others arrived at the auditorium.

This auditorium is much smaller than the one in the military region.

It can only accommodate about a thousand people.

However, in Beijing, it is already considered large.

Yu Jianjun: "Because you were moving here, you missed the cafeteria's mealtime, so I specially had someone bring you food to eat in the auditorium."

Lu Yao hadn't expected that Teacher Yu Jianjun would be so thoughtful.

Lu Yao: "Thank you, Teacher Yu. Then we won't stand on ceremony!"

Lu Yao looked into the lunchbox and saw that it contained stewed potatoes and green beans, sweet and sour pork, tomato and egg soup, and rice.

It was quite a feast.

Everyone ate while discussing the stage play.

After they finished eating, the drama troupe members arrived.

The auditorium still smelled of breakfast.

When Yu Wanqing arrived, she frowned. Her uncle was being too biased, even preparing food for them separately.

Once everyone was present, Yu Jianjun instructed his comrades to arrange the tables and chairs in a circle in the auditorium.

Everyone discussed the script face-to-face.

Yu Jianjun sat in the center, while Lu Yao and Zhou Yang, the male and female leads, sat in the first seats on either side of him.

Yu Wanqing's character is located far back in the story, and she doesn't want to go over and sit down.

After everyone else had finished, Yu Wanqing was still standing.

Yu Jianjun: "What are you standing for at night? Hurry up and sit down."

Yu Wanqing: "I still think I'm more suited to the female lead. Uncle, you know my abilities, and the audience is very satisfied with my performance."

Yu Jianjun frowned: "You're not suitable!"

Lu Yao looked at Yu Wanqing, wondering if she was going to cause trouble again!

Yu Wanqing: "Why? Uncle, you won't even give me a chance!"

Yu Jianjun sighed: "Turn the script in your hand and look at the first page!"

Yu Wanqing opened it, and there was Yue Fei's poem, "Man Jiang Hong"!

Yu Wanqing: "What's wrong?"

Yu Jianjun: "Sing the opera version of the poem 'Man Jiang Hong'!"

Yu Wanqing was stunned. Her opera skills were terrible; in fact, they were practically nonexistent.

Yu Wanqing: "Uncle, I...I don't know how!"

Yu Jianjun: "Lou Xiaohong's specialty is 'Man Jiang Hong,' and you're telling me you don't know opera? How can I use you!"

Yu Wanqing's face stiffened: "But...but I can learn it."

Yu Jianjun: "The reason Lou Xiaohong became a leading actress is because of her profound opera skills. Can you learn the essence of the role on the spot? This role would be a disaster on your part!"

Yu Wanqing looked at Lu Yao, and to her, the smile on Lu Yao's lips was nothing short of mockery.

Yu Wanqing: "Lu Yao knows everything? She's still a newcomer!"

Zhou Yang: "Comrade Yu Wanqing and Comrade Lu Yao were assessed in four categories of the cultural troupe's assessment, and they all came in first place in all four, one of which was opera."

Yu Wanqing: "How is that possible?"

She knew the performance troupe's assessment was very strict, but who could be so amazing as to be number one in all four categories?

She knew Su Nianqing was very capable, but even Su Nianqing couldn't do it.

Yu Jianjun: "Comrade Lu Yao, why don't you sing 'Man Jiang Hong'?"

Lu Yao nodded, then stood up: "Then I'll make a fool of myself!"

Lu Yao didn't even look at the script before she started singing.

"My hair stands on end in anger, I lean against the railing as the rain subsides..."

Lu Yao's opening remarks stunned everyone in the drama troupe!

Is this something a lesbian could sing?

Although Lou Xiaohong is a woman, she sings in drag, so she plays roles such as young male lead, old male lead, and martial arts male lead.

It was precisely because she played a cross-dressing role, coupled with her exceptionally beautiful voice, that she became a famous actress.

Lu Yao is also a girl, and she can switch her voice and style at will, whether she is singing or performing opera.

Lu Yao sang with complete ease!

Thank goodness she chose the voice feature; this divinely bestowed voice is truly amazing!

"...Let's start anew, reclaim our lost lands, and return to the imperial palace."

After Lu Yao finished singing, there was complete silence around her!
