Chapter 87 A High School Student
After thriving for a year, Yao Tang quietly retired from the entertainment industry. Over time, other choreographers had attempted to imitate her style, but they never could capture the essence of her dance.
When Sheng Tinghad first seen her perform, he had initially sneered, thinking she would never be any better than her.
She had kept her face hidden at the time, and only took off her mask in private.
It went without saying that he was stunned speechless when he had finally seen Yao Tang’s bare face. Gradually, they had begun to warm up to each other.
Sheng Ting hadn’t really expected her to agree to do the music video, but he knew he needed to try anyway. Thankfully, she said yes without much coaxing on his part.
Now that he had her on board, the upcoming year-end battle was bound to be epic.
Yao Tang was standing in her signature lazy posture, her hands ban in her pockets. When she turned in his direction, the sunlight fell on her face.Sheng Tingfound himself gawking shamelessly, thinking how he could spend days just admiring her beauty.
But then she spoke, breaking into his trance. “I want my face shown in the music video.”
Both Sheng TingandXiao Zhoufroze in shock.
They had been so ecstatic over the fact that Yao Tangwas joining them in this project that they had forgotten what her face could do once it was exposed to the public.
Xiao Zhou frowned. “Brother Ting, I’m sure a lot of management agencies will be clamoring to signGod Yaointo a contract.”
Sheng Ting looked conflicted. “Ah, forget it! Her fans would be delighted to see her gorgeous face after so long. Let’s just do it and do the entire nation a favor.”
Xiao Zhou’s lips twitched. For some reason, she was rather excited to see the chaos that would ensue once the music video was released.
Only a fool would let go of the chance to sign her on. Not only was Yao Tanga talented choreographer, but she also possessed an appearance that was much-coveted in the industry.
Sheng Ting’s team had taken great pains just to arrange this particular shoot’s security. And even then, it was inevitable that the venue would be filled to its maximum capacity, both by fans and crew who admired her.
But Yao Tanghad already braced herself for this outcome.
She had walked away from entertainment with a full heart, satisfied with her accomplishments. Nevertheless, she had to admit that now and then, she would miss the rush that dance brought her.
Of course, her biggest reason for participating in the music video was that she needed money.
As it happened, Sheng Tingwas notoriously known to be a cash magnet in the entertainment circles. He always seemed to land successful projects, and his popularity had yet to wane.
She could already see the concert hall packed with people, eager to watch the performance. Sheng Ting had promised to give her half of the revenue, so she would certainly earn a lot in just one go.
Yao Tang was looking forward to it.
At that moment, the director came over to make last-minute preparations. “Sheng Ting, go and have your makeup applied…” The man drifted off as his eyes fixed on Yao Tang. Specifically, on her face. Where did such a promising young talent come from?
Sheng Ting crossed his arms over his chest and narrowed his eyes at the director. “Director Bian, meet my former choreographer.”
He sounded smug, as he should. He knew that Yao Tangwas worth bragging about to anyone.
Bian Chi was quick on the uptake. “God Yao?!” he blurted out loudly, his eyes bulging out of their sockets.
Sheng Ting grinned and nodded, satisfied with the man’s reaction. He turned toYao Tang. “Do you realize how much this industry has been looking forward to your comeback?”
But she was as unflappable as ever. “Director Bian,” she greeted politely, though her expression remained aloof. Her voice pulled Bian Chiback to his senses. “Sheng Ting has been keeping his female lead a secret. So it’s you,God Yao! It’s no wonder he insisted that I come to watch today.”
How come he had never known that this young lady was so actually this good-looking?!
“Come on,” Sheng Tingsaid, rubbing his nose. “Let’s get ready for the shoot. Boss over here is quite busy, so we don’t have much time.”
“Right, right, of course. Go change into your costumes and get your makeup done.”
Sheng Ting was about to leadYao Tangto the dressing room when something occurred to him. “If we show your face in the music video, the people from your school are going to recognize you. Is that okay? Won’t it disrupt your studies?”
Overhearing this, Bian Chiwent into another round of shock. “What?!God Yaois in college?”
Xiao Zhou hadn’t known about this, either. She looked just as astonished.
Nas
God Yao was nothing short of powerful. Despite her young age, she had already achieved so much.
Sheng Ting flashed them a mischievous grin before shaking his forefinger in front of their faces. “Let me introduce her properly. This isYao Tang, my former choreographer and currently a high school senior back inCity A. She’s in the middle of preparing for the college entrance exams, which is why we have to get this done quickly.”
Bian Chi’s jaw dropped yet again. “The college entrance exams?!”
“You didn’t expect that, did you?” Sheng Tinggloated.
The poor director’s throat worked, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
If this was true, then that meant that God Yaowas just around fifteen back when she broke into the entertainment world!
Bian Chi was taking some time to compose himself, so they just left him there and went to the dressing rooms. ‘Well, I’ll be damned,’ the man thought.
‘Just what kind of genius do we have in our midst?’
In the dressing room.
Yao Tang took out her costume from her backpack.
It had been reduced into a crumpled mess after her travel, and she tossed it haphazardly to a nearby chair.
The makeup artist stared, bewildered. Wasn’t that dress a little too… casual for the great Sheng Ting’s music video?
And then she spotted the familiar mark of bird wings sewn into the back of the dress. “God Yao! This dress of yours…”
