Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Why am I ranked 25th?” Meng Xiao was not satisfied with her results. She had thought that she could enter the top 20, but in the end, she was only ranked 25.
The reason why Meng Xiao put so much effort into participating in this competition was not to get first place, but to use this competition to increase her popularity. When she debuted in the entertainment industry, she could add a label of ‘beautiful pianist’. But now, he was only ranked 25th. This ranking was not good enough.
“Did you give me the wrong score?” Meng Xiao pointed the finger at Tan Ron. “Is this judge really that good? She’s about the same age as me. How can she be a judge? And does she really know how to play the piano?”
Uncle Wu said unhappily, “The people who can be judges have all been reviewed by us, so you don’t have to doubt the qualifications of these judges. Moreover, the judges were all fair, and there was no difference in the scores of the young judges.”
The pianist that Tao Yue offended earlier spoke up, “You’ve made a lot of mistakes when you played just now. Do you know that?”
“I know.” Meng Xiao’s expression changed.
The piano master continued, “Master Tan Rou pointed out the mistakes you made. If you don’t believe me, you can take a closer look at the score record and the video replay of your performance.”
Meng Xiao did not believe that Tan Rou had the ability to do so, so she requested to play the video and check the score sheet. Sure enough, Tan Rou had pointed out Meng Xiao’s mistakes on the score sheet. She even pointed out that Meng Xiao had not realized she was making a mistake.
Meng Xiao had nothing to say. She looked at Tan Rou angrily. “Fine, 1 guess you did a good job!”
After the contestants had no objections to their results, they would continue with presenting the awards. Those masters would also bring back the good seedlings they had taken a fancy to and nurture them.
Yang Shi and Tao Yue split up. Tao Yue had to go to the toilet, but Yang Shi still wanted to get close to the judges, hoping that they would give Tao Yue another chance.
Tao Yue looked at herself in the mirror and started crying again. She had lived for seventeen years and had never achieved such a bad result. It was a great humiliation for her.
When Qianqian came out of the bathroom, she happened to see Tao Yue crying. She had heard about Tao Yue before and thought that she was a very nice girl. But recently, she had heard from Hang Wei about the grudge between Tao Yue and Tan Rou. As Tan Ron’s friend, Qianqian did not want to have too much contact with Tao Yue.
However, Tao Yue recognized Qianqian at a glance. As the wife of the president of TL Company, Qianqian often attended large banquets with Hang Wei. Tao Yue had also seen Qianqian at banquets a few times, but they had never spoken. “Mrs. Hang, right?” Tao Yue rubbed her eyes and smiled. “Are you here to watch the competition?”
Qianqian pretended not to know Tao Yue. “Who are you?”
“Hello, my name is Tao Yue, one of the contestants here today.”
“Tao Yue?” Qianqian pretended to think about the name. “Oh, I remember who you are. You’re the contestant who said ‘I don’t know’ on stage today, right? Did you shout so loudly to attract attention or to ease the tense atmosphere?”
“I’m not in the best condition today. I’ve made a grave mistake.” Tao Yue said awkwardly.
“That wasn’t a mistake, was it? Aren’t you in last place?” Qianqian asked. “Even if you did make one, you shouldn’t have placed last, right?”
Double kill.
Every word Qianqian said was like a knife stabbing into Tao Yue’s heart. Tao Yue couldn’t refute her, so she could only explain weakly, “I’m not in a good state today.”
This was the first time Tao Yue was talking to Mrs. Hang, so she had to seize the opportunity. “Mrs. Hang, why don’t we exchange numbers?”
Qianqian deliberately changed the topic. “1 remember that the number one socialite in the Capital also shares the same name. So you’re the number one socialite from the Tao family?”
Hearing that Qianqian had heard of her, Tao Yue quickly smiled and said, “That’s me, but that’s just a false reputation. I’m not that great.”
“Indeed. 1 think they’re lying too. After all, you’re such a terrible pianist. How could you be the number one socialite in the Capital?” Qianqian nodded.
Triple kill.
Tao Yue was struck three times in a row. Her smile froze on her face and she couldn’t say a word for a long time. She didn’t even know when Qianqian left..
