36 Trained

"We have arrived," Tuo Tuo stopped the car in front of the company's building. Chen Wan awoke startled. feeling much more refreshed after this short nap. Now she knew why Mo Yifan would just close his eyes during the car ride.

Tuo Tuo had not said anything during the whole ride, thankfully. Even if she did, Chen Wan was in deep enough sleep to not have heard it.

She looked up at the intimidating building from the window of the car. There were many rooms that were lit up at this hour. It seemed there were many more people present here than she had anticipated.

It was another cold morning, and no person was there in the streets.

"You enter the building; I will go park the car," Tuo Tuo instructed her. Chen Waan did get out of the car but the area was spooky. Thankfully, she had already been provided an access card to the building by Mr. Fan. Otherwise, if she were to leave it to this Tuo Tuo, she would have been screwed. That assistant was definitely doing this on purpose.

Chen Wan entered the building. This was the second time she had come here. The huge reception area where she had encountered Mo Yifan and dragged him back, was now completely deserted. She went ahead and looked for the room she was supposed to be in.

After taking two elevators, four corridors and disturbing about a dozen trainees, she finally arrived at the room. Her trainer was already there, with Tuo Tuo who was standing cross armed.

"Why are you so late Chen Waan? I had clearly told you the instructions to reach here," Tuo Tuo spoke as soon as Chen Waan arrived. She posed concerned and heartbroken, as if her own artist was refusing to listen to her.

'Instructions, my ass. If I were to wait for you downstairs, this class would have never happened.'

Chen Waan was glad that she had decided to leave the reception and head to the training room by herself.

The trainer, Kim Su Won, was a famous choreographer and dance trainer from South Korea and was especially brought here by WhirlWind Entertainment for the training sessions. She was best of the best. She looked at the sneering face of the assistant and then the earnest look in Chen Waan's eyes, she instantly understood the situation.

"Poor you girl, are you going to be the victim of your own company's strife?" the tall slim trainer scoffed lowly in Korean as she started doing some stretches. She had seen this game too many times back home. This new girl must have done something to earn the ire of her assistant who was assigned to her by the company. That meant the company was either trying to test this girl or they were unhappy with her as well.

"Don't worry ma'am, I won't let any puny person defeat me. I am a firm believer of eye for an eye," Chen Waan replied to Kim Su Won in her tongue very fluently. To think that a foreigner knew the difficult phrases like 'eye for an eye' in her own language, the trainer was shocked as well as delighted.

"How perfect your Korean is!" she exclaimed in Korean.

Kim Su Won had come to the country enough times on the assignment. Her family was all the way back in Korea, so she preferred to fly to China whenever she needed to train a group or an artist. Other lessons were usually online. It had been about ten years since she started going back and forth between China and South Korea. Which had made her fluent in Mandarin.

This time Wang Zenghao had personally contacted her to train a special girl who might require more training than usual. Special, now she could see. She had instantly liked her as soon as she heard such fluent Korean come out of her mouth. She would pay extra attention to her.

"Thank you for your compliment Ms. Kim. I apologize for being late," she replied in Korean with a smile. Chen Waan could tell from her trainer's tone that she had earned enough brownie points with her. Now it was the turn of the assistant to get out of here.

"Ms. Han, I do not need any extra people in the room. You can do your work," Kim Su Won told off the assistant in Chinese. Tuo Tuo's face became red with the insult, she glared at Chen Waan and left the room in rage.

It seemed that the trainer valued honesty over schemes. Chen Waan was already liking Ms. Kim. Hopefully, she would help her develop some dancing skills.

"Alright, now that there is some peace. I would like to know what your aspirations, your aims are. We will start with some stretches then," Ms. Kim started with the lesson.

"Aspirations? With dance? Sorry Ms. Kim, but the problem is, I have no experience with dance at all. You could say I have two left feet when it comes to dance. So, I will have to trouble you with my uselessness," Chen Waan decided to be very honest about her skills to this trainer. If she had to go through it, it was better to start as a blank slate, a fresh paper. And it was better to set her trainer's expectations so low that she would not need to reprimand her at every step.

"Hmm… that will be a problem. Okay, let's start with flexibility then. Follow me in these stretches, okay? I want to know how flexible you are, we will work on different areas accordingly," Ms. Kim rubbed her chin. She was indeed going to be a difficult student if this was the case.

Chen Waan complied. On this particular day, a girl's screams were heard on the seventh floor. In a matter of hours, that girl had dislocated two of her joints which were promptly set back in. But this became the legend in the company for two reasons, the company had indeed hired a person with two left feet. And Ms. Kim, who was known to be the strictest trainer in the whole company, was seen caring for a trainee for the first time.

"What! You made her train with Ms. Kim directly? You should have given her basic lessons at least. That demoness would really chew her at slightest mistake!" Mo Yifan had just woken up and was en route Chen Waan's room to ask about her health, when he realized that she must have already left.

Now he was getting ready when he heard from Wang Zibo about Chen Waan's first day.

"Why are you getting so agitated Fan Fan? I thought you did not care for her?" Wang Zibo slightly teased him but could not say much openly in the fear of the females in the staff starting to scheme against Chen Waan. He had already heard the deed by Tuo Tuo this morning.

"Ahem! I am not worried about her. But I do pity her for having met Ms. Kim on her first day. What were you guys thinking?" Mo Yifan realized how over the top his reaction was. He should have been paying attention to his own gig rather than her.

Wang Zibo's question was valid too, why was he so worked up, especially about her? Hmph! Must be because they were now housemates.
