You’ve Worked Hard
There were up to a few thousands of seats in the entire performance hall.
The stage itself was almost the size of two to three rooms.
Previously, the cleaning was always completed through the joint effort of the students and cleaners.
The teachers of this film school reckoned that actors must experience life and to do so, they had to first lower their statuses to the very bottom and ground themselves to the soil.
Therefore, the students were forbidden to leave without cleaning up the venue after performing.
However, Xia Bohe had never expected such a heavy task to fall on her shoulders.
She raised her head to look at You Xinji. She had never expected this person to be so toxic and unyielding. Was she not afraid that she’d report this to the teachers?
“Oh, I may have forgotten to tell you that the teachers from the Performing Arts Faculty and the higher-ups of the school are all in a meeting right now. The director and seniors from the Screenwriting Faculty have also returned to have their final meeting. Thus, the job of cleaning can only be left to us,” she said.
You Xinji grinned, the expression on her face seemingly innocent and incapable of any harm.
However, she was undoubtedly letting Xia Bohe know that nobody would bother her even if she tried to report it now.
“Although Student Xia Bohe’s luck is not that good and turned out to be the only one that got picked to clean up, we also helped as well,” the girl with heavy makeup beside You Xinji said. “From all the students with…love,” she added.
While speaking, she held her phone up high and waved it at Xia Bohe.
On the screen, there were nine photos of everyone posing and pretending to clean up the venue. It was evident that she had posted it on her social media.
From these photos, one could tell that these girls did not have bad acting skills. At least in the photos, they were holding the brooms and rag cloths in a serious manner, acting like they were really cleaning up. A few of them even acted like they were tired from cleaning and stopped to wipe at their sweat in the pretentious photos.
However, looking around at the performance venue, Xia Bohe saw that the props were still messily piled up in a corner. Furthermore, there were still many smudges of footsteps and pieces of rubbish on the floor.
“Thud…”
The girl with heavy makeup holding onto the phone grinned and threw a piece of balled-up paper onto the floor.
“There’s still work for you to do,” she said.
Xia Bohe pursed her lips.
“The students from the Performing Arts Faculty would have to clean up the makeup room today as well.”
The cold voice of the makeup teacher, Mi Lan, rang out from the hallway.
“The cleaner is on leave as something came up,” she added.
“No problem. Don’t worry, Teacher Mi.”
You Xinji curled her lips. She looked at Xia Bohe in a taunting manner immediately after.
The other girls all showed relaxed smiles.
“Let’s go. We’ve been working tirelessly for so many days. Let’s go back to the dormitory to sleep.”
“I’ll take a shower first. I’m so tired.”
“Let’s order some takeaway to eat. I’m starving.”
Everyone seemed to be relaxed and at ease. They were trying to agitate Xia Bohe, who was the only one left behind to clean up.
Nevertheless, what could she do?
The teachers were not here. The seniors were not here. Even the male students were driven away by them.
Besides, they had all posted on their social media to ‘prove’ that they had actively participated in the cleaning up.
Hah, even if Xia Bohe were to report this, nobody would believe her.
Without any witnesses, would a normal person listen to someone’s one-sided words or would they listen to the ‘objective’ evidence of many?
“Xia Bohe, you’ve worked hard.”
“That pitiful look could really touch one’s heart. Sadly, there’s no one here to help you.”
The sounds of taunting gradually disappeared along with the sounds of the girls’ footsteps.
“Oh, right! Teacher Chen Jianbang will come to check on the venue’s cleanliness an hour later. Good luck, Bohe. Do not get your semester end marks deducted.”
You Xinji added with an air of finality.
Xia Bohe squinted, watching them coldly as they left the hall.
She tightened the jacket on her and lowered her head.
Closing her eyes, she went through the catalog of her system’s abilities.
