Imperial Dance Academy is a full-time general institution of higher learning with the main mission of cultivating high-quality dance talents, high-level dance theoretical research and work creation. It is also the first professional dance school in China.
The ballet department is a major department of the Imperial Dance Academy as a national key construction discipline of the academy in recent years. Especially in terms of teacher construction, the Imperial Dance Academy has introduced many excellent teacher resources at home and abroad. And Weng Huaijing is through the First Five-Year Plan
The overseas recruitment channel of Imperial Dance Academy recruited students from the United States.
In the information published on the official website of the Imperial Dance Academy, Weng Huaijing’s information reads as follows:
"Weng Huaijing - Associate Professor of the Ballet Department of Imperial Dance Academy.

In 2014, he graduated from the Juilliard School of Dance in the United States, majoring in classical ballet.
In 2015, he received a master's degree in art from Juilliard School.

…………
August 19th.
Just half a month earlier than the opening date of comprehensive universities, the new semester of Imperial Dance Academy officially begins.
Classical Ballet Teaching and Research Office of the Department of Ballet.
Weng Huaijing was sitting at her desk, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Sitting in front of her desk were two academy leaders, Deng Yingling, the vice-principal of the Imperial Dance Academy, and Guan Xin, the director of the ballet department and the academy's publicity director.
The three of them were in a stalemate, and no one took the initiative to continue speaking.
Other teachers in the teaching and research office also felt the heavy pressure. Invariably, they either held up their mobile phones and pretended to make a call, or they picked up their dance shoes and equipment bags and left the teaching and research office pretending to have classes.
Seeing that Weng Huaijing remained silent and did not respond, Guan Xin still could not maintain the same determination as Principal Deng.
She then persuaded Weng Huaijing with earnest words:
"I'm sorry. In fact, our college and department have always valued you. We have never wanted to be a hindrance to your career development in other fields. We had this idea before, so the college and department agreed to allow you to record.
That show.
We look forward to your ability to showcase the talents of our young dancers at the Royal Capital Dance Theater to all audiences on a broader platform.
You may not know much about the college's enrollment situation this year. The current situation is not ideal.
That's why the academy came up with this idea. I hope you can take the initiative to add some segment designs that showcase your dancing talents in subsequent programs.
This is actually a win-win situation.”
After Guan Xin finished her heartfelt words, Weng Huaijing looked at the two leaders in front of him and looked at him with earnest eyes.
Only then did Weng Huaijing understand why the leadership of the academy suddenly interfered with some of his personal schedule for recording the program.
I dare to do it because the enrollment situation this year is very serious. Watching the program "Star Language Silk Road" is very popular, and I feel a little sick and rushing to seek medical treatment.
Weng Huaijing, who understood the intentions of the college leaders, answered frankly:
"Director Deng, I have always been grateful to the college for trusting and nurturing me and adding a new teaching plan for the solo dance course specifically for me.
Principal Deng Yingling also went to New York three times to bring me back to teach.
In fact, I really don't have any ambition to be an actor or a star.
I have been teaching in China for more than four years and have not been accepted into a movie. This time it was really a coincidence that I got this notice.
to be honest……"
Weng Huaijing's face turned slightly frosty, and he continued with a faint self-deprecating smile:
"To be honest, I don't understand why these two programs became so popular.
But obviously it doesn't have much to do with me. If you two have seen my performance, you should agree with me on this point.
I actually don’t have the sense of variety show that they say. I just signed a pilot contract for two episodes before, and it is very likely that I will not renew it in the future.
I understand the difficulties of the college, and I will tell my agent about this matter. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, I will promote our college on the show."
"That's okay, I'm looking forward to it.
On behalf of the college, I would like to thank you for your understanding and support of our work.
And you should smile more in the future. I watched that show and I was observing whether you were smiling the whole time. You see, even the wry smile just now was much better than your usual smile.
I really feel sorry for the girls who performed your ballet solos. Guess if we are going to be left to study in the courtyard for a while, we don’t care what teachers like this are called."
In fact, Deng Yingling has always admired this girl who she personally invited back from the United States to teach against all odds, even though her temper was a bit cold.
But when she first saw her, Deng Yingling felt that Weng Huaijing had a unique temperament that was hard to describe in words, a unique temperament born for ballet.
"Is your name Nan Batian?"
Weng Huaijing guessed cooperatively.
Nan Batian is a villain in the ballet "The Red Detachment of Women", which was the representative work of Vice-President Deng Yingling when she was young.
Deng Yingling rolled her eyes at her: "I'll give you a reminder, Sima Chunshan."
"The sentence written by Lin Juemin: Sima Chunshan is intoxicated, I cannot imitate the forgetfulness of love.
Is Your Majesty forgetful of love?"
Being praised by Zhou Peipei for being a poet and a scholar, Weng Huaijing naturally quickly guessed Deng Yingling's hint.
"Even if the Supreme Being forgets his feelings, he is not heartless."
After speaking, Deng Yingling waved her hands and left the classical ballet teaching and research office where Weng Huaijing worked with Guan Xin.
While the office was quiet for a while, Weng Huaijing took out his cell phone, stood up and called his agent, Shao Qing, and told her about the academy.
After Weng Huaijing finished speaking, he added:
"Is it convenient? If it's too much trouble, forget it. I've already caused you too much trouble, Sister Qing.
After all, for something as big as enrollment promotion, I feel like I can’t come up with any good solutions.”
Shao Qing's tone of reply to her on the phone was still so calm, and he even thought about continuing to organize words to outline traps to test Weng Huaijing.
Shao Qing's hobby made Weng Huaijing collapse. She had discovered that since Shao Qing took over her management, he especially liked to test her and Yan Qing's relationship in person.
Shao Qing replied like this:
"If you say that the program will definitely create the kind of publicity effect that will cause a large number of art students to apply for your school next year, it is difficult for anyone to boast that Haikou can match this guarantee.
But if it is just to add some links for you to demonstrate your dance skills, it is not difficult to operate. We will have a program tomorrow to prepare for a briefing session. Then we can add this agenda for you.
Actually, there is a better way, I think that person must have some ideas. How about you ask him?"
Weng Huaijing heard that Shao Qing seemed to have set up another trap for her. She did not answer Shao Qing's words, but turned her back and stood facing the wall, as if Shao Qing was right next to her at this moment.
Shao Qing waited for a long time and saw that Weng Huai was silent before he spoke again:
"Your show is so popular right now. Maybe if you just dance, you can actually achieve the effect your college wants. Sister Qing, I won't tease you anymore. I almost have an idea.
You have to know that the big names in Dingxin, as well as some friends from outside, have been looking for me in the past few days, wanting to be a guest on your show, and some have booked works in advance before the show is recorded.
I'm also considering that if we can add flying guests, all of them will be our own people. This is a good opportunity to introduce new people."
Shao Qing comforted Weng Huaijing for a few words, and then talked about his plan on the other end of the phone.
…………
Shao Qing likes Weng Huaijing from the bottom of his heart, which is completely different from other people's inherent impression of Weng Huaijing.
In Shao Qing's eyes, Weng Huaijing is a somewhat arrogant, cute, and even childish little girl.
Even putting aside her status as Weng Huaijing's agent, she is still very interested in the story between Weng Huaijing and Yan Qing:
"Two such interesting people, what kind of relationship did they have, and how did they become the current situation."
…………
After Shao Qing gave a few more instructions to arrive at the company on time tomorrow morning to start a program and prepare for a briefing session, Weng Huaijing hung up the phone.
She turned around, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and leaned against the wall of the office with a slight effort on her shoulders. Weng Huaijing remembered what Shao Qing said before:
"That person must have some ideas. Why don't you ask him."
…………
"Yes, he has always been very resourceful.
I'm sorry, please think of a solution.
You can even say such shameless words."
Weng Huaijing recalled the scene in the Magpie Bridge passage, and recalled that Shao Qing described Yan Qing's bald head to her vividly when he came back that day, and she couldn't help laughing.
This scene happened to be seen by one of Weng Huaijing’s students at the door—Zi Wen, a solo dance class representative from Class 03 of the 17th grade ballet major.
She just happened to come to the teaching and research office to find Weng Huaijing and hand in the solo dance analysis assignment for Class 1703.
The "Sir Professor" who they had always loved and feared now had a coquettish look on his face, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes. This was something she had never seen before, and it was completely different from usual.
Professor Weng of the two.
Even as a girl, Zi Wen felt that the scene in front of her was extremely beautiful, and she did not dare to speak out for fear of disturbing the beautiful scenery.
…………
"What's the matter? Ziwen."
At this time, Weng Huaijing noticed a stunned Zi Wen at the door. Her expression returned to coldness and she asked.
"Professor Weng, it's okay. I'm here to hand in the summer solo dance analysis assignment you assigned. Here are the thirty classmates in our class. They are all here. I'm sorry to bother you."
Zi Wen handed in the report and turned around and left in a hurry.
Weng Huaijing waited until the footsteps faded away, then suddenly sighed and pushed back the long-standing memories that were secretly filling his mind.
Weng Huaijing lowered his arms as white as jade from his chest, took the homework handed in by Zi Wen, and sat at his desk to concentrate on correcting it.
