After the poor daughter was exposed: bigwigs from all walks of life went crazy

As the bell rang for the end of the break, cheers broke out across the campus. The time spent waiting to watch the show felt like a year.

When they were students, as long as they were not required to go to class, they would be happy no matter what they did. Especially this kind of large-scale art performance, which only happens a few times a year, so we have to cherish it.

Students lined up in the open space in front of the teaching building and went to the auditorium in order. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and many of them brought snacks they had bought in advance.

The originally empty auditorium gradually filled up. The students preparing backstage could not help but feel excited and nervous when they heard the bustling crowd outside.

"Our class 7 is sitting pretty close to the front this time, so we can finally enjoy it."

"I heard that Lu Bai has also signed up for a solo piano performance. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Shen Ying, why are you still carrying your workbook?!"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of Ma Xiaoxiao and others next to her, Shen Ying opened the exercise book in her hand and started doing it with an expressionless face.

Ever since Shen Shu talked to her, she has been feeling angry and extremely unwilling.

She didn't think she was worse than Shen Shu. As long as she worked harder, she would definitely surpass him one day. When that happened, she would definitely stand in front of Shen Shu and let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems your cousin has also signed up for piano solo. It feels like the competition in the instrumental group is very fierce. I don't know how well Shen Shu plays the piano. You must know her very well since you are her sister."

Ma Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows slightly and approached Shen Ying unintentionally to ask her a question.

The other girls also looked at Shen Ying curiously. Through spending time together, they discovered that although Shen Ying and Shen Shu were relatives, their relationship did not seem to be as good as they imagined.

Every time Shen Ying was not as good as them, she would bring up her cousin Shen Shu, as if she was Shen Shu, so Ma Xiaoxiao and the others had long disliked her.

Shen Ying's hands, which were writing the questions, slowly stopped, and she turned to look at the people with fake smiles on their faces.

How could she not understand what Ma Xiaoxiao and the others meant? Although she did not know Shen Shu as well as she said, it was different when it came to piano.

"When I was a child, I lived at my cousin's house for a while. At that time, a famous piano teacher came to her house every day to give her one-on-one tutoring."

"But I remember that the teachers all said that she didn't have much talent for playing the piano, so Shen Shu stopped learning it after she entered junior high school."

It was because she was inspired by Shen Shu's piano lessons that she would ask her mother Meng Qin to enroll her in a talent class every day after returning home.

Originally, she was planning to submit a program for this performance, but the competition was about to begin. In order to beat Shen Shu this time, she had to race against time to finish the test and gave up the opportunity to show her talent.

"As expected, there is no such a versatile person. If she is that good at piano, then she really has maxed out all her skills."

"I instantly felt mentally balanced."

"..."

Hearing Shen Ying's words, Ma Xiaoxiao and the others immediately felt relieved.

Miao Shuangshuang, who was sitting in the corner of the venue, frowned and looked at the mobile phone in her hand.

Since this week, Huang Kai has never contacted her again. Every time she called him, he just said a few perfunctory words. The text messages she sent also seemed to fall into the sea, with no response at all.

Clearly, the two were still in love the day before they broke off contact. This huge gap made it difficult for her to adapt, and she could hardly sleep every night.

Miao Shuangshuang had to stay in good shape at all times, fearing that Li Rao and the other sisters would notice something. She knew very well that if she lost Huang Kai, they would not only not comfort her but would even add insult to injury.

She kept deleting and reducing the input field on her phone, and she was so anxious that she almost collapsed.

"jingle."

Suddenly Miao Shuang's eyes lit up. Huang Kai finally wrote back to her!

"Some problems happened in the company recently, and I just settled them. I'm really tired, and I don't have many confidants at Royal No. 1 to share my work. It would be great if you were by my side all the time."

Miao Shuangshuang's fingers were shaking with excitement. She knew that Huang Kai was busy with work and was not deliberately ignoring her.

As for the confidant Huang Kai mentioned, she had heard him mention it intentionally or unintentionally during this period. It was to help him deal with interpersonal relationships at Royal No. 1 every night, and the task was not heavy.

If she did this, would she be able to get closer to him? Maybe she could become the most special person in Huang Kai's heart, and most importantly, she could properly block some of the beautiful women around him.

If I could take this opportunity to meet some people who are richer and more powerful than Huang Kai...

It was a good deal no matter how you looked at it, so Miao Shuangshuang was moved and wrote a reply to Huang Kaifa.

However, what Miao Shuangshuang could not have imagined was that the person who sent her the message was not Huang Kai at all.

"Brother Huang, all these small fish are hooked."

A hot woman in a halter dress put down her phone and walked towards Huang Kai who was lying on the massage bed not far away with a sweet smile.

"It will be up to you to train them well then."

Huang Kai curled the corners of his mouth with a determined look, and his gaze towards the woman gradually became more intense.

-

"Dear leaders and teachers, dear students, hello everyone!"

"On this National Day, we gather together happily..."

The big curtain on the stage slowly opened, and amid the screams and cheers of the students, three pairs of male and female hosts dressed in formal suits appeared in the center of the stage.

The school leader in the front row calmly raised his hands and clapped, while the seven judges in the row next to him all looked through the program lists in their hands with serious expressions.

They were all staff members of the Cultural Bureau, and each of them was a well-known master in the art world. Especially the judge Xue Bo, who was sitting in the middle, had an even more extraordinary identity.

He is one of the most famous pianists in China and also enjoys a high status internationally, having won almost all the prestigious music awards.

According to the usual auditions, he would not be invited to such performances, but when he heard that this school had a child with absolute pitch and great talent for piano, he came uninvited.

Xue Bo is now over 60 years old and has reached his current position. He no longer has any worldly desires and only wants to find a true disciple to inherit his legacy.

He was flipping through the program in front of him, and when he came across the 18th Variation of "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini", his eyes suddenly lit up.

Lu Bai, this should be the child he is looking for.

He glanced back casually, and when he saw "March in the Dark", his brows suddenly frowned.

This should be a self-composed song. Just by hearing the name, he can already imagine what kind of style it is. However, it is a bit out of theme for the National Day performance.

"Master Xue, I heard that you came here to recruit a disciple?"

The judge next to him, Yang Zhong, stepped forward cautiously and said.

"Ah."

Xue Bo responded indifferently, staring at the program in his hand.

He was known for his odd temper and never liked interacting with people in the art circle. However, due to his superior status and strong family background, everyone would try their best to get close to him.

"What a coincidence. You know I'm an arranger. I've been worried about not finding a suitable apprentice, so I also had my eyes on this performance."

"I have been to several schools as a judge, but I haven't met a suitable one..."

Before Yang Zhong could finish his words, the music of the first show suddenly sounded, and he had to stop talking abruptly, for fear of disturbing Xue Bo's interest in watching the show next to him.

The opening program was "Singing the Motherland" sung by the school choir. Dozens of students wearing red dresses and suits stood on the dance steps.

The three parts of low, middle and high voices sang together, and the soul-stirring momentum gave goose bumps to everyone in the auditorium, and it was very contagious.

The professionalism of Zhengzhou Foreign Language Choir is well-known in China. It is organized by several music teachers in the school. Every year, they select good seedlings from the new students and train and teach them.

Over the years, many students have been admitted to famous music colleges at home and abroad through the choir. It can be said that this choir is one of the important cradles of the music industry.

The choir must definitely occupy one of the three places selected for this performance.

The first-year high school students in the audience looked at the glamorous choir on the stage with envy and expectation in their eyes.

I heard that after the National Day, the music teacher will come to recruit students for Grade 11. Will they have a chance to be selected? Will they be able to stand in the spotlight and participate in various performances like their seniors one day?

Shen Shu sat in the dressing room backstage with her eyes closed, while Xia Siyu and Du Mengyun were excitedly putting makeup on her.

The choir sound coming from the front brought back many memories for her. When she was at an international school in Beijing, she was a member of the high section of the school choir.

Shen Shu was close to Feng Jingwen at the time, and she accompanied her to the choir audition, and unexpectedly she was selected. All the teachers who met her said that she was talented and a good material, and if she worked hard in this field, she would have a place in the future.

Therefore, after entering junior high school, she gave up the piano she had studied for many years and chose the path that suited her best. However, no one expected that her family would suddenly encounter misfortune...

If she had not gone bankrupt and left the capital in her previous life, she would most likely have become a soprano singer by studying under a famous teacher.

Learning music is very expensive, and to be more precise, this is true for any field of art. Expensive instruments, expensive tuition fees, and other aspects all require continuous spending.

After a teacher learned about her situation, he volunteered to pay for her to stay in Beijing for training. Shen Shu refused. She didn't want to give up her love, but she had to return to reality. She couldn't just care about herself and abandon her parents and ignore the actual situation of her family.

After all the performances of the singing group were over, Shen Shu had just finished changing her clothes. She stood in front of the floor-length mirror and put on her accessories one by one.

"Li Rao is worthy of you. Your performance can be arranged at the beginning of the dance group."

"Our sister Li is famous for her classical dancing skills, so this kind of treatment is a given."

As soon as Shen Shu walked out of the fitting room, he ran into Li Rao who was rushing to the stage in her performance costume. She was surrounded by several students wearing student union ID cards.

When they saw Shen Shu, they were all stunned and watched her walk to the other end with staring eyes.

"When did such a student come to our school?"

"What a cool and handsome style! Why haven't I seen her in rehearsals before?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of several people around her, Li Rao looked at the girl's back with some confusion.

Hearing the discussion of several people, Shen Shu's body froze. Is the contrast so great? She silently lowered her head and glanced at her outfit.

Well, kind of.

The melodious classical music started, and the audience was shocked when they saw Li Rao on the stage. She had won the title of the school beauty of the junior high school with a solo dance.

If Shen Shu wasn't in Zhengwai, the title of school beauty of the high school department would probably still fall on Li Rao.

When the performance was first announced, Li Rao was a little afraid that Shen Shu would sign up for the dance group, just like during military training and steal the limelight that belonged to her.

But she heard from those followers in the student union that Shen Shu had signed up for a piano solo this time. I heard that the repertoire was quite special, but her playing skills were not very good, so she thought the chances of being selected were not high.

After Li Rao exchanged an obscure look with a woman in the judges' box, she began to dance to the beat.

"What a coincidence! This kid is my student. She didn't even tell me about signing up for the show."

The woman was in her early thirties, with an upright temperament and pretty looks. At first glance, you could tell she was a dance teacher.

After graduating from the Beijing Dance Academy, one of the top ten dance schools in Country Z, she returned to her hometown, Zhengzhou, to develop her career. After more than a decade of establishment, she has a high status in the circle.

Hearing the female judge's words, the other judges all smiled knowingly. They had previously agreed with each other that they would give extra care to each other's students and give them higher scores.

Especially this Li Rao, whose family background is not simple. In the name of thanking his mentor, Deputy Director Huo privately gave them all valuable gifts, just to get one of the three places.

This kind of thing has already formed an industrial chain in the circle, and they are very familiar with doing this kind of thing.

"I was just saying, no wonder this student dances so well."

"This kid's dancing is really better than yours. He's a bit like you back then."

Several judges echoed and quickly wrote down scores in their hands.

Yang Zhong came from the capital. He was not familiar with the other local judges. He ignored their conversations and gave scores to everyone equally.

Xue Bo snorted coldly. There were a lot of people who could dance like this in the dance academy. These judges really had practiced the skill of telling lies with open eyes.

Regardless of which circle you are in, this is basically the situation. Some people are worldly-wise and can do things against their conscience for money, some people turn a blind eye and live in peace with the world, and some people despise those who do whatever it takes and always keep their original intentions.

The following dances were basically the same, and not only the judges but also the students in the audience gradually became numb to them.

It wasn't until the instrumental group started performing and Lu Bai appeared in a white tuxedo that everyone's interest was instantly aroused, with screams and cheers echoing in the auditorium.
