Chapter 115: Disdain to be Her Disciple
Bai Muyao didn't understand why, but she tried to buy time with a smile, saying, "Chairwoman Qin, I really admire your pieces. Is there a chance for me to learn from you?"
Chairwoman Qin raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious, "Which of my pieces do you like?"
Bai Muyao was instantly at a loss.
Oh no, she was just being polite. In her mind, she couldn't even recall any pieces attributed to Chairwoman Qin!
All she knew was that Chairwoman Qin was very talented, achieving fame at a young age and being admired by many piano scholars.
However, a few people nearby spoke up:
"I really like Chairwoman Qin's 'Fate,' 'Autumn Day,' and 'Dreamland,' but my favorite is 'Encounter.' It feels like meeting the destined one on a lazy afternoon... The joyful, romantic, and sweet feelings intertwine so beautifully!"
"My favorite is Chairwoman Qin's 'Fragrance of Flowers.' It feels like being immersed in a sea of flowers, able to smell the fragrance even through the music."
"My favorite is 'The Sea'..."
As Bai Muyao blushed, unable to say a word, the onlookers couldn't help but comment:
"You have the nerve to say you like Chairwoman Qin?"
"Chairwoman Qin has composed 132 famous pieces. Can you perform them all?"
"I really don't understand how you got second place."
...
Bai Muyao blushed with embarrassment, feeling awkward and humiliated. "I'm sorry, Chairwoman Qin, I was too excited to see you, and I forgot..."
Chairwoman Qin was about to leave, but Bai Muyao hastily stopped her. "Chairwoman Qin, I really admire your talent. Is there a chance for me to receive your guidance? I will practice diligently every day and will not disappoint you!"
She thought that her diligence would move Chairwoman Qin...
But Chairwoman Qin saw through the girl's ambition and coldly said, "I don't take disciples."
The surrounding people were stunned. They didn't expect Chairwoman Qin to refuse so bluntly. It seemed she truly disliked Bai Muyao.
It made sense. Being the second-place winner in a piano competition, yet not even knowing Chairwoman Qin's pieces...
Bai Muyao felt extremely embarrassed. As Chairwoman Qin was about to leave, she anxiously called out, "Chairwoman Qin, do you have someone else in mind?"
Chairwoman Qin stopped for the third time, this time casting a sharp gaze at her, "I do have someone in mind. Even if I didn't, it wouldn't be you."
Bai Muyao's face turned pale. "May I ask why?"
"Because you're from the Bai family, and I don't like that." Chairwoman Qin said directly, then glanced at her attire, "You don't suit this outfit, nor these accessories. Qingyan is a person of character. You're tarnishing her work."
The people around murmured in agreement. Looking closely at Bai Muyao, they realized she couldn't pull off such clothes and accessories...
It didn't match her.
Seeing Chairwoman Qin leave, several onlookers followed suit. Xu Aiqin was taken aback and approached, "What kind of nonsense is this chairwoman spouting? How can she talk to a child like that in public? It's too much!"
"Mum, I'm fine..." Bai Muyao had some self-awareness, "I forgot to mention her pieces. It's my fault..."
"Even if you forgot, she shouldn't embarrass you in front of everyone! You got second place!" Xu Aiqin glared at Chairwoman Qin's departing figure in anger. "And saying you don't match this outfit and accessories... Who is she to decide? We have money, we can afford Qingyan's clothes and accessories, so what?"
"Mum, let's go..." Bai Muyao didn't want to stand there and attract more attention.
"She doesn't want disciples, and we disdain being her disciple!" Xu Aiqin took Bai Muyao's hand back to the audience seat, grumbling along the way, "Everybody knows that the most powerful figure in the piano world today is Master Long. In the future, you'll be his disciple!"
...
At that moment, Bai Zhenhai's friend, Li Dahui, curiously asked, "Mrs. Bai, I just saw Chairwoman Qin talking to your daughter, in the corridor. Is Chairwoman Qin interested in her? Does she want to take her as a disciple?"
Because they were too far away, Li Dahui couldn't see clearly, but he saw a group of people surrounding them, and they seemed to be talking closely...
Bai Muyao was already embarrassed, and this question made her expression even more awkward.
Xu Aiqin smiled, "Oh, Chairwoman Qin did have that intention just now, but in this industry, Master Long is the most powerful figure. So I asked Yao Yao to think about it and not rush to agree..."
Li Dahui didn't expect their target to be so high. He chuckled, "If Chairwoman Qin is interested, it means her piano skills are extraordinary... My daughter has been learning piano for many years, and I've tried to pull strings everywhere to get Chairwoman Qin to mentor her, but Chairwoman Qin hasn't agreed... If Yao Yao caught Chairwoman Qin's eye, she must be exceptional!"
"Yao Yao got second place, while my daughter got fifth place. Do you dare compare them?" Li Dahui's wife smiled and said, "Yao Yao is so outstanding. The chance of catching Master Long's eye in the future is probably high..."
Xu Aiqin was in a better mood after their praise.
"After the host finishes the opening remarks, the top eight contestants will perform their pieces. Yao Yao, you must perform well. Maybe later, when Master Long sees the playback of today's stage, he will be impressed by you..."
"Good point!" Xu Aiqin was thrilled to hear that. She pushed Bai Muyao lightly, "Yao Yao, did you hear that? You must perform well later!"
"I know." Bai Muyao was initially feeling down, but when her phone beeped with a WeChat message from Gao Yang, her spirits lifted.
[I'm in the audience now. Where are you?]
Bai Muyao stood up immediately and looked back. When she locked eyes with Gao Yang, she waved eagerly, "Gao Yang, I'm here!"
After she spoke, she hurried over to greet him.
Li's wife was a bit surprised, "Who came? Yao Yao seems quite happy..."
"Oh, it's Yao Yao's boyfriend, who came to support her!" Xu Aiqin was even happier to see the unexpected visit from Gao Yang at this late hour.
"High school graduates already have boyfriends? He looks well-mannered. Which family is he from?"
"Oh, he's the son of the wealthiest family in Autumn City."
"Gao Yang?" Li's wife was surprised. She didn't expect the Bai family, with its background, to be associated with the Gao family!
"You know him?" Xu Aiqin only knew that with the Gao family's influence, once it got out, people would envy her even more!
"I don't really know..." Li's wife only knew Gao Yang's mother and had hardly met Gao Yang a few times in reality.
