Chapter 2558  : Twins

Her voice was much calmer. “Weiyang, I had something to tell you last night. Do you want to participate in the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition? This is a very prestigious award. Perhaps this stage will suit you.”

“Aunt Lin, do you think I’m suitable?” magic

“You’re more suitable than all the students I’ve met. It’s just that your mind wasn’t on this before, so it wasn’t appropriate for me to persuade you. But now, I think you can give it a try. This competition has two categories— professionals and amateurs. The professional category is for students from music academies, while the amateur category is for people from other majors who love the piano. However, the awards for the two groups are actually the same. You know as well that sometimes, one doesn’t have to be professional to have considerable skills and abilities.”

She explained in detail.

Qiao Weiyang listened quietly.

For a long time before this, Qiao Weiyang had indeed been delayed by the Qiao family’s affairs and did not have time to think about these things.

Now was the perfect opportunity.

Soon, Qiao Weiyang received the registration letter from Mr. Lance.

Mr. Lance was more concerned about her career and future than she was.

After receiving the registration letter, Qiao Weiyang smiled and drove to the music academy.

When she arrived at the academy, she found a place to park the car and went to register.

There were not many people at the event location, but there were still two lines of people. She put on a mask and sunglasses, not wanting to cause a commotion because of her appearance.

One of the lines was for the professional category, while the other was for the amateur category.

The applicants for the professional category had to be people with relevant qualifications who had graduated from the piano major, while those in the amateur category had all kinds of people.

A woman in front of Qiao Weiyang was talking to a man in the same line as her.

“Senior, with you in the professional category this time, I’m guessing the others will definitely tremble.” The woman who spoke sounded a little arrogant. “Rong Rong, it’s someone else’s misfortune to have you in the amateur category, isn’t it?” The man’s tone was also a little high up in the air.

Qiao Weiyang couldn’t help but take another look at them. This woman looked quite beautiful. Her makeup was very exquisite, and her fingers were long. She was indeed very suitable to play the piano.

However, she looked very arrogant, seemingly looking down on everyone around her.

The woman called Rong Rong quickly walked to her seat and checked her personal information with the staff.

“Ling Rong, yes, it’s me,” Ling Rong confirmed with the person in charge.

After she was done, Qiao Weiyang went forward.

“Qiao Weiyang?” the staff asked.

“Yes, that’s me.”

Hearing Qiao Weiyang’s name, Ling Rong subconsciously turned around to take a look. Qiao Weiyang was wearing a hat and loose clothes. Ling Rong couldn’t see her appearance and looked away.

“Senior, have you confirmed it?” she asked the man who had confirmed his slot in the professional category.

“It’s all done. Let’s go.”

Ling Rong said softly, “The person who signed up after me seems to be Qiao Weiyang.”

“Qiao Weiyang? That artiste who plays the piano well?” He also looked back. He didn’t pay attention to the entertainment industry, so he didn’t know many artistes.

However, he had heard about Qiao Weiyang playing the piano last time and had an impression of her.

“Plays well? Senior, you’re actually praising the tricks that artistes use to deceive their fans?” Ling Rong smiled and shook her head.

“That’s true. Celebrities rely on heavy editing in post-production to trick their fans. They might not be able to step up to the challenge on the event location.

Only their fans will fall for it.”

“Yes, that’s why I often say that artistes should know their limits,” Ling Rong said with a shrug.

The two of them walked into a conference room together. There were two people sitting inside.

One of them was a graceful and elegant woman. She had taken good care of appearance and behaved appropriately. She was carrying a branded bag. When she saw Ling Rong enter, she smiled and asked, “Rong Rong, have you confirmed your participation?”

“It’s confirmed, Mom. Senior and I are done with the process.” “It’s all thanks to Dinghao’s help that Rong Rong can participate in the competition this time. Rong Rong, you have to learn from him, do you understand?”

“Of course, Mom. I’ll definitely learn from Senior.” Ling Rong smiled and looked at Fan Dinghao.

“Dinghao, you can’t be arrogant either. Rong Rong has many redeeming qualities. You should engage in more discussions with her,” the man sitting beside the middle-aged woman said.

He was in his early 50s. He had long hair and the temperament of an artist.

The middle-aged lady smiled and said, “It’s good to let the two of them discuss things. Brother Fan, you specially came to guide Rong Rong and Dinghao this time. How are your other students? I heard that Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi are both very promising students of yours.”

“Lu Ke is not bad, but his wrist has always been a little problematic, which affects his strength. I don’t think he has any hope of getting a good ranking in the international competition this time. As for Xu Wangzhi, it’s better not to say anything.” The middle-aged man picked up his teacup and took a sip. He clearly didn’t take the two students who were just mentioned seriously. The middle-aged lady smiled. “So this time, you’ll only focus on guiding Dinghao and Rong Rong?”

“Dinghao is my own son, and Rong Rong is your daughter. Of course, I have to spend the most effort to guide them,” the middle-aged man said with a smile. “Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to spend all my effort on those hopeless people?”

Ling Rong immediately said, “So are Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi still participating in the competition? Without their instructor, it won’t be easy for them to win an award with their own strength, right?”

The middle-aged lady said, “I heard that the academy found them a temporary instructor.”

“Mom, who is it?” Ling Rong asked curiously. “The most powerful big shot in the piano industry is Mr. Fan, and he’s sitting with us. Who else can Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi find to guide them?”

A glint flashed across the middle-aged lady’s face before she said, “She’s just an unimportant teacher.”

“I’m afraid Lu Ke and Xu Wangzhi won’t be able to make it to the end,” Ling Rong said regretfully. “If it’s another teacher, it’d indeed be very difficult for them to make another breakthrough.”

“That’s right. That’s why you have to learn well from Mr. Fan,” the middle-aged lady said.

After saying that, she stood up and said, “Alright, it’s about time to go back. Let’s go.”

The middle-aged man also stood up and walked out with Ling Rong and Fan Dinghao.

The four of them chatted as they walked. Coincidentally, a woman was walking over. When the middle-aged woman saw her, her eyes flickered as she watched the woman approach..
