she is sweeter than sugar

Gu Zhiran smiled and looked at the few friends she just met around her, with a little apology in her eyes, "Sorry, I have to excuse me for a while."

Several people quickly said it was okay.

Seeing the more friendly attitudes of several people towards him, Gu Zhiran smiled faintly, followed Master Shen with graceful and brisk steps.

As Master Shen walked, he turned his head to Gu Zhiran and asked, "This is an A-level member of our Piano Association. Although he is weak in music, he has always had a love for music. Zhiran Then you just go and say hello to me, for you to get acquainted, there are definitely only advantages and no disadvantages."

Everything in the upper class is polite, Master Shen shouldn't have brought Gu Zhiran with him at this time, but he still wanted to pave the way for his apprentice as much as possible for the sake of Gu Zhiran's saving him.

That's why he decided to take her with him when he went to meet that person.

Gu Zhiran was surprised just by the word "A-level member" by name.

To put it mildly, he is weak in music, but in fact he is not very proficient.

However, the assessment of the Qin Association has always been very strict, so how could it be possible to allow this kind of registration just because a person loves music, not to mention that it is directly an A-level registration.

unless……

That person's status was so noble that even the Qin Association had to make concessions for it.

Then... what kind of person should he be...

Gu Zhiran withdrew her shock, responded, and just lowered her head slightly, obediently following Master Shen half a step behind.

Master Shen said respectfully and cautiously, "Old Yuan, how are you doing recently? I am Xiao Shen, and I have been honored to play the piano for you."

In front of Yuan Lao, Master Shen didn't even dare to say the word playing.

"Xiao Shen..." Yuan Lao thought for a while, but he didn't remember it.

"Yes, yes, you still remember me, it's a great honor, by the way, Mr. Yuan..."

After speaking, Master Shen slightly pulled Gu Zhiran forward, "Zhiran, you also say hello to Mr. Yuan..."

It wasn't until reaching this position that Gu Zhiran could see the old man's face clearly.

She kept a decent and somewhat obedient smile on her face, and said hello to Yuan Lao.

Old Yuan only nodded slightly, without even looking at Gu Zhiran.

Master Shen didn't care at all, and continued to smile, "Old Yuan, this is my new apprentice, you can just call her Xiao Gu."

"Your surname is Gu?" Yuan Lao subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Gu Zhiran.

Gu Zhiran immediately cheered up 12 points, "Yes, Mr. Yuan, my name is Gu Zhiran."

But in fact, she was already nervous and her heart was beating like a drum.

Master Shen's eyes also brightened, "Old Yuan, Zhiran is very talented in the piano, she is also very hardworking, and has a good character, she is really a rare good seed..."

However, Yuan Lao took a look and found that it was not the Gu he was looking for, so he looked away again absent-mindedly.

Listening to Master Shen introducing herself to Elder Yuan, Gu Zhiran clenched her hands nervously, but to her disappointment, Elder Yuan seemed to just ask casually.

After the master finished introducing her, the old man called Yuan Lao only nodded his head as a way of saving face. He was not interested in her piano talent at all and wanted to continue chatting for a few more words.

His absent-minded appearance seemed to be waiting for someone.

Master Shen was also savvy, so he told him to retreat, and then retreated again with Gu Zhiran.

Gu Zhiran was a little disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show any signs of expression.

Seeing Gu Zhiran's appearance of not being impetuous in the slightest, Master Shen couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart, and looked up to her even more.

Most of the young people nowadays are chasing fame and fortune, and their moods are impetuous, Gu Zhiran is rare.

Thinking about it, Master Shen became more interested in cultivating Gu Zhiran.

Perceiving Master Shen's expression from the corner of the eye, the corners of Gu Zhiran's lips curled up slightly.

Gu Zhiran was naturally disappointed that she was not able to win Yuan Lao's favor all at once, and even Yuan Lao showed no interest in her piano at all.

But this kind of disappointment cannot be expressed in front of Master Shen.

Everything has to be done step by step. She has half a foot into the piano association, so there is no need to worry.

After explaining a few words to Gu Zhiran, Master Shen was surrounded by several members of the Piano Association to exchange music matters.

And Gu Zhiran glanced around, and saw that the young children from the piano association who were chatting with her just now walked towards her spontaneously, curiously asking her about his situation.

Gu Zhiran's eyes darkened slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on her face again.

Anyway, it's good to go all the way just now, isn't it?

She pulled a strand of hair behind her ears, pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Old Yuan is very kind, but he just asked me a few simple questions, it's nothing..."

There was envy in everyone's eyes.

Yuan Lao took the initiative to ask Gu Zhiran, this is not a trivial matter...

If any of them were changed, I'm afraid they wouldn't be qualified to say hello to Mr. Yuan, right?

Looking at Gu Zhiran's neither arrogant nor impatient appearance, the few of them became even more determined to make friends with Gu Zhiran.

"Zhiran, I heard that you are studying the piano? Why don't we go to the small bandstand over there to have a chat?"

It has long been a tradition for young members of the Qin Association to communicate with each other at the exchange meeting within the Qin Association.

At this time, they can learn from each other, and also have the opportunity to win the comments and favor of the masters of the Qin Association.

Therefore, a small bandstand has long been prepared in the auditorium of the Emperor Banquet.

Gu Zhiran's heart moved, and she also knew that this was a good opportunity to show her face in front of the masters.

In fact, she has already prepared a song for today's exchange.

After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Okay."

After a while, the sound of different types of musical instruments sounded in the auditorium one after another.

The masters lowered their conversational voices, looked towards the direction of the small bandstand, sometimes nodded, sometimes shook their heads.

And Gu Zhiran was chosen by everyone to be the finale because they wanted to sell her face.

Finally when it came time for Gu Zhiran to take the stage, she straightened her chest and sat down on the piano chair confidently.

Then, she took a deep breath and played the score that she had memorized long ago.

It has to be said that with Master Shen's guidance these past few days, Gu Zhiran's piano skills can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

Gradually, all the members of the piano association looked towards Gu Zhiran with a little appreciation in their eyes.

Gu Zhiran noticed that everyone was looking at her, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, enjoying the feeling of being watched more and more confidently.

At this moment, the door of the auditorium opened again.

When seeing the person who appeared at the door this time, the clamor of the crowd was a bit louder than before.

In an instant, Gu Zhiran's piano sound was completely drowned out, and no one cared to pay attention to her performance...
