A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

Xia Ling stood still. The independent room left to the new chief? Wasn’t that her room?

Why had the logistics teacher told her that she had no more independent room?

She heard another girl say, “Tsk, the new chief? The naming of this year’s new chief does not reflect reality. Only Sister Bingman can be the real chief! Sister Bingman living here shows that fame follows merit!”

“That’s true...” said the other girls.

Li Bingman smiled. Her mood was very good because she hadn’t expected to be able to get this room. It must be because the logistics teachers were afraid of offending her sister. So they’d sent away that country bumpkin and left the room for her. Tsk, that unsophisticated girl was indeed unsophisticated. Did she think she was all that with just a little talent? The Training Camp was just a small part of the entertainment industry and not everything could be obtained by having talent! Many times, background and strength were more important than talent!

“Help me move this pot of Milano up.” Li Bingman instructed the girls around her. “Be careful not to break it. And this set of teacups, it was brought back by my sister when she went to France to attend an event. These handmade souvenirs sent by the organizer are the world’s one and only, so be careful when you move them.”

“Don’t worry, Sister Bingman!” Several girls responded and helped to move the things while exclaiming in admiration.

Li Bingman gave them an elegant and aloof smile and walked up the stairs with empty hands. Unexpectedly, she stopped after taking a few steps. She saw Xia Ling standing in the center of the entrance, glaring at her fiercely.

“Make way,” Li Bingman said aloofly.

Xia Ling did not move. The girl who had yet to hit puberty seemed to be even shorter beside her big luggage. “The independent single room is mine!” She glared at Li Bingman and said word by word.

“Hahaha!” Many of the girls laughed. “It’s yours? Then go and find the Principal, why are you clinging to Sister Bingman? Country bumpkin, the examiners only pitied you and gave you the position of the chief, did you really think that you deserved it? Get lost, good dogs don’t block the way!”

“You’re the dog!” Xia Ling was so angry she almost cried. These people were too much!

Not only were her classmates bullying her, but even the Training Camp was also bullying her! Forget about them not allocating a room for her, they had even deceived her into attending day school and had given the room that should have been hers to Li Bingman! How was she to swallow this unfairness!

“The room is mine!” She looked truculently at Li Bingman. “You’re not allowed to live there!”

Li Bingman chuckled. “The teacher arranged it for me. If you have the ability, then go find the teacher.”

Then she walked forward, by-passed her lightly and brought the other people upstairs. The girls carried the big and small luggage and passed her while laughing. Nobody took her seriously. They even looked at her like she was a joke. The last girl even stopped and said mockingly, “Let me give you a lesson, country bumpkin. You can offend anyone in the Training Camp except for Sister Bingman, understand? If you know your wrongs, then hurry and apologize to Sister Bingman. Then compete with her again and lose to her. Maybe then she’ll take pity on you and forgive you!”

“No way!” Xia Ling scolded. “You’re crazy!”

The girl’s expression changed. “You can’t tell good from bad!” Humph, she deserved to be pushed aside by Li Bingman!

The girl turned her head and walked away.

Xia Ling was left standing alone on the steps. The students walking past her all pointed at her and gossiped.

She stared at the golden sunshine in the late summer and raised her head high. She wasn’t going to let other people laugh at her. She put on her proudest expression and dragged her big suitcase all the way to the logistics office.

“Teacher!” She panted and stood at the door before asking angrily, “Didn’t you say there was no more room? Why is Li Bingman staying in the single room while I have to attend day school? It’s not fair!”

The entire logistics office heard her raising her voice and all turned to look at her.

The teacher who had previously assigned the dormitory massaged her forehead in frustration. She felt that this girl was really troublesome. “How did you know that Li Bingman is staying in the single room?” Since she was attending day school, then there was a single room available. When the teachers had been chatting, they had brought up this matter unintentionally, so Teacher Chen had suggested that this single room be arranged for Li Bingman.

The teacher had thought over it and found it was fine. Since Li Bingman was Li Bingyu’s sister, it wasn’t a bad idea to curry favor with her.

Neither of them knew the origin of Xia Ling. Like all the other ordinary people, they also thought that it was because the Li family’s sisters were dissatisfied with Xia Ling and had thus used their authority to chase her away. Then, it was logical to give Li Bingman the single room.

But which big-mouthed gossip had passed on this information to Xia Ling?

Xia Ling said, “I saw it with my own eyes! I don’t care, that single room should be mine, I want to live in the single room!”

“The rooms have been allocated, what are you causing a scene for!” The logistics teacher reprimanded her. “We’re regarding you with importance by allowing you to attend day school! Go back early once you’ve retrieved your workbooks. You still have to come to class tomorrow!”

“Then why don’t you regard Li Bingman with importance? You are just bullying me!” The little girl was not afraid of her. Humph, what did she mean by regarding her with importance? Attending day school meant wasting an hour on the road every day and she would obviously have one hour less of practice time as compared to the others! She even suspected that it was Li Bingman who deliberately made things difficult for her and set her up to attend day school!

The logistics teacher was furious. “You’re acting willfully!”

She was scolding her when the office door opened. It was the logistics head, Jiang Qin. She had heard the noise and had come out to see what was going on. The sight in front of her scared her senseless. This notorious “Little Princess” who had the backing of Secretary Zhou was actually being scolded by one of her subordinates?!

“What happened?” She scolded her subordinate scornfully with a sullen face. “What are you making noise in the office about? Is this your attitude towards your students?!”

The teacher was shocked to be scolded by her. Normally, Jiang Qin, though not exceptionally good to her subordinates, still did not reprimand them without reason. But what was with her today? Was her period here? “I...” She regained her senses and said to Jiang Qin, “Director, I didn’t want to scold her, but this little girl is just too ignorant. She wants to fight over Li Bingman’s room!”

She emphasized the words “Li Bingman” and suggested which side Jiang Qin should help with.

However, Jiang Qin was furious with her. It had been a settled matter and Xia Ling had already agreed to attend day school. The matter had already passed by without a storm! This idiot, why had she given Xia Ling’s room to Li Bingman? This was obviously pitching the two against each other! These two people both came from big backgrounds and it was not good to offend either of them. This stupid subordinate was really finding trouble for the logistics department! “Who let you act on your own accord and give the single room to Li Bingman!” Jiang Qin said angrily.

The other people in the office watching the scene unfold looked at each other in dismay. Had the logistics director eaten gun powder today? She wasn’t even helping to keep the faces of the Li sisters.

The teacher felt very wronged. She didn’t know where her fault was.

Jiang Qin was extremely angry, but she still had to help her stupid subordinate deal with the aftermath. She quickly racked her brains and thought of a way to round the matter. She said to Xia Ling, “It’s our logistics department’s fault. We’ve made a mistake and have caused you a grievance.”
