Chapter 614: Chapter 266: Showdown?

Su Huai walked through the door and, before he could get a clear look at anyone, heard a rebuke.

"Ah Xi Ba, chirp chirp chatter..."

The latter half of the sentence was beyond Su Huai’s understanding, but he could see a Korean from Korea babbling animatedly at him.

The rehearsal that was taking place in the room came to a halt, and the six girl group members looked over at the doorway, confused.

Su Huai was annoyed.

But of course, he wouldn’t stoop to argue with the Korean—too demeaning.

He just frowned slightly, and Yuyan immediately started cussing at the interpreter, "Tell him to shut up! This is our Xingyu’s top assistant! Does their agent have rabies or what?"

The interpreter wasn’t from Xingyu but had been sent by Banana Entertainment as an assistant for Tara.

She apologized hastily, "I’m sorry, the Korean agent didn’t know you were Xingyu’s executive. He was just asking why a young man was interrupting Tara’s rehearsal..."

Then she turned back to explain to the dumbass agent, not very assertively though.

Su Huai couldn’t understand her mumbling, but he caught the gist right away: Korea often didn’t show much respect to Banana Entertainment, and some recent event must have worsened their tensions, causing them to spill over.

It was somewhat unexpected, but Su Huai oddly felt it was normal.

Haven’t Koreans always been like this?

Su Huai watched the dumbass coldly. After learning Su Huai’s identity, the guy’s eyes bulged, and his face was a picture of shock, his earlier arrogance gone.

The six Tara members’ reactions were even stranger—they were all wearing masks but habitually covered their mouths as if shocked.

Very much like a Korean variety show.

The dumbass agent seemed to be losing face, bowing slightly and going on with a babble.

When the interpreter relayed the message, she was earnest, "Director Li says he’s very sorry, he’s been under a lot of pressure from work lately and is very sensitive. Please forgive his rudeness."

Then Director Li spouted something else, and the interpreter casually conveyed, "In our Da Kao Republic, there’s an old saying, ’Ignorance is not a sin...’"

That cracked Su Huai up.

You have an old saying?

Other than slavery certificates, what does Korea have from ancient times?

But he didn’t argue; it was too demeaning to battle this personally. He’d have to return the gesture properly to satisfy Gou Huai’s broad-mindedness.

Su Huai no longer paid him any attention and turned to ask Pei Shuyu, "Pei, how’s the rehearsal going?"

"Very smooth."

Pei Shuyu lifted her chin proudly, suddenly tossing out, "Their dance skills are so-so at best. I think I might have overestimated them."

Ha, I could give you an 82 for that act.

Su Huai nodded in satisfaction and walked straight to the front of the dance studio. In the center of the mirrored wall, his hands tucked in his pant pockets, he calmly ordered, "Tell them to run it from top to bottom."

The interpreter hurriedly communicated with Tara, and the agent heard it but kept quiet.

A few of them glanced at Su Huai cautiously, quickly took their places, and as soon as the music started, they began performing.

It’s a rehearsal, so of course, they wouldn’t wear their stage costumes.

Su Huai saw nothing compelling, focusing on their moves and formations.

Tara’s songs in the past two years have involved performances by six people, but there was a time when they were a group of seven, so arranging formations wasn’t too hard.

Since the performance was to highlight Pei Shuyu, she was given the main center position most of the time.

The most classic formation for an odd number of members is the large ’V’ created by Girls’ Generation. The point of the ’V’ is the main center spot, where whoever stands there attracts 80% of the eyes and cameras.

When Pei Shuyu moved to that spot, Su Huai had a sudden, strong feeling—wasn’t this just Pei Shuyu and her six backup dancers?

Subconsciously, Su Huai glanced at Director Li. Sure enough, that sourpuss looked gloomy, and one didn’t need to see his eyes to know how dissatisfied he was.

There, the case was clear.

Korea probably didn’t want to take this job.

No matter how miserable they were now, how severely they were boycotted in Korea, or how badly they were cursed by their netizens, their agency was probably still putting on airs.

We’re the big stars from Da Kao Republic, you know!

The universe’s second-best girl group, you know!

Well, at least they used to be.

Now, to come to Huaxia to dance backup for an internet celebrity—how demeaning is that?

It’s different from attending commercial performances. There, the sponsors pay and they perform their own songs and dances, which is only right.

But performing in coordination with someone else is another story and depends on the status.

What status does Yuji, a dancing internet celebrity, have?

However, this was approved by Wang. Wang has the final say in any official activity within the country, and Su Huai had paid the money well in advance.

So, was this a forced deal?

Gou Huai suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement. He didn’t care whether the forced melon was sweet; he just liked the twist.

There were only two songs for today’s performance. One was "NO.9" performed by themselves, which was for warming up the crowd, not worth watching.

The other was the one being rehearsed now, "Brother Su Free."

When Su Huai saw the name of the song, he knew there was a connection with him, so he had eliminated classics like "Day by day."

That’s the one, take off!

The sisters were quite spirited, bringing out the energy of a formal performance in the rehearsal.

But the overall impression was mediocre.

The higher Su Huai’s expectations before he arrived, the deeper his disappointment was now.

The problem seemed to be the uneven individual skill levels. The best had to hold back, the worst even with all their effort remained subpar, seriously dragging down the average.

At the very least, Su Huai wanted to see the synchronized sharpness of a knife-group dance, the strength and beauty of detailed movements, and the complex and dazzling formations, none of which they were able to showcase.
