Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 825: Eight hundred twenty-three, the competition begins

Luo Shu, Zhu Huizhen, and Shen Anning walked out of the performance team, all with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Tomorrow we can officially compete, I’m so looking forward to it!" Shen Anning said with anticipation. They had just watched the rehearsal of everyone present, which was even better than they had expected.

"This musical drama is so well-prepared, it’s definitely going to make a big splash." Zhu Huizhen said, her face full of excitement.

"I think so too." Shen Anning agreed.

"Yes!" Luo Shu smiled and nodded her head. This musical drama was adapted from the stage play ’Liang Zhu’ which she had seen in her previous life. When she had watched it back then, she was captivated by the performance and the effects on stage. She was very satisfied with this rehearsal, but her only regret was that the current stage lighting couldn’t compare to that of the future.

The news that the performance team could compete tomorrow didn’t weigh heavily on their minds. They had performed the musical drama countless times and there was no novelty anymore. Therefore, in the past few days, they had not gone to find out what program Zhang Xiaofeng’s team was performing. They were absolutely confident in their own victory.

"Go change into your costumes, let’s have an official dress rehearsal, and tomorrow let everyone see the professional standard of our performance team," Squadron Leader Li Ya told everyone in the performance team. Fairness in mind, they had also chosen a musical drama just to make it clear how their rehearsal differed from that arranged by Luo Shu.

"Okay!" Everyone confidently responded and turned to head to the dressing room.

The news that Luo Shu and the performance team would compete tomorrow swept through the Guard District like a whirlwind, and almost everyone was talking about it.

"Tomorrow Sister-in-law Lu will be competing with the performance team, who do you think will win?"

"Do we even need to ask? It’s surely the performance team."

"I think so too. All the performers are from the performance team, just one party needs to slack off and the other will surely win."

"That might not be the case. Sister-in-law Lu is the Company Commander’s wife; those performers wouldn’t dare to play any tricks."

"Tricks or not, the result would be the same. After all, the performance team is professional."

"You think the performance team invited Sister-in-law Lu just for fun? It’s because she beat them before and they haven’t gotten over it, so they challenged her."

"Really? How do you know that?"

"My sister is in the performance team; she told me about it."

"Quick, tell us how Sister-in-law Lu defeated the performance team."

"When Sister-in-law Lu was in the Northwest Guard District, the performance team went there for a morale-boosting performance. Somehow, a clash arose with the Guard’s Wives, and that led to a contest. It was inevitable for Guard’s Wives to lose, a contest against the performance team - but Sister-in-law Lu pulled an unexpected move and defeated them."

"How could Guard’s Wives beat the performance team?" It wasn’t self-deprecation, but a mere fact. Guard’s Wives are mostly at home taking care of children, washing, and cooking, lacking good figures and looks. Singing was at most humming mountain songs and Wei Ge, and dancing? Their limbs are stiff, their hands and feet rough. How could they match the delicate, nubile girls of the performance team?

"That’s why I mentioned an unexpected move. Sister-in-law Lu had those Guard’s Wives wear beautiful Flame Robes and high heels, walking on stage with that... right, the catwalk."

"Catwalk?!" At this moment, an image of a cat appeared in the minds of all the Guard’s Wives. They really couldn’t imagine how one would walk the catwalk.

The hall was once again filled with people – Guard Members, Guard’s Wives, and their children – all making a racket.

"Just ten more minutes, and the show will start."

"The performers from the performance team have arrived, but Sister-in-law Lu and her side of the performance team haven’t arrived yet. Do you think they haven’t finished rehearsing?" The hall was the only way in; if Luo Shu and her team came, they would be seen.

"Sister-in-law Lu’s side also consists of performance team members, even a casual performance wouldn’t be bad. She likely wouldn’t miss it."

Just as everyone was discussing, Luo Shu and her companions walked into the hall.

Luo Shu whispered a few words to Shen Anning and Zhu Huizhen beside her, then headed towards the seats arranged by Lu Hanmo. On the way here, she had already told them about some precautions. Everything else from now on would be handled by them.

Seeing Luo Shu not heading backstage, the crowd was somewhat surprised. Was she too confident or too unconfident?

Shortly after Luo Shu sat down, Lu Hanmo, Lu Zhengyang, and Mo Shaoze approached.

Seeing Luo Shu seated, Lu Hanmo smiled slightly and sat next to her, taking her hand in his. Shushu had taken on this challenge, and he had always been worried she would tire herself out, but seeing her spirited every day eased his worries.

"Has mom gone backstage?" Lu Hanmo asked. His mother had seemed quite interested these past few days, obviously placing great importance on this matter.

Luo Shu smiled and nodded, "I’ve handed over the upcoming matters to mom and Anning." She preferred to stay by Hanmo’s side rather than backstage, watching the performance with him.

"That’s better." Lu Hanmo fondly touched Luo Shu’s glossy hair, speaking tenderly. He didn’t want her to always handle everything personally.

"Dear Comrade Lu Hanmo, please maintain your image," Luo Shu playfully stuck out her tongue at Lu Hanmo. She already heard jaws dropping around them.

"I don’t need an image in front of you," Lu Hanmo said with a smile. As for what others thought, he didn’t care as long as Shushu was happy.

Luo Shu playfully glared at Lu Hanmo then turned her head towards the stage, "The performance is starting."

At that moment, the two young women who were responsible for hosting last time took the stage.

After a simple introduction, a tall woman with peach-blossom eyes spoke, "I believe everyone present knows that the next two programs are the competition items prepared by our performance team and the wife of Captain Lu, Luo Shu."

She paused briefly, glanced around at the audience, and continued, "For fairness, after learning that the Company Commander’s wife had prepared a musical drama, we also prepared a similar program."

"Next, please watch the musical drama prepared by the performance team," the other host continued.

"Applause!" A round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall.
