Chapter 631: Indisputable Talent

Feeling Xiao Jing’s gaze, Yao Tang waved him over. She then gave him pointers on what to pay attention to during their performance.

As they discussed, Xiao Jing’s frivolous expression morphed into a serious one. He hung on to every wordYao Tangspoke like his life depended on it.

The others were rather shocked to witness it.

According to the rumors, the people from the Yunmei Orchestrawere stubborn, rowdy, and lacked discipline.

And to everyone’s knowledge, the person in charge of this troublesome troupe was the vice-captain.

Now that they thought about it, the members of the Glory Orchestrarealized that nobody had ever seen the supposed captain of theYunmei Orchestra.

They had heard stories, sure. Some speculated that this captain was an eccentric genius who chose to live the hermit life.

Others asserted that there was no captain at all, and the people of the Yunmei Orchestramade their decisions as a group.

This last one made a lot of sense, since the group probably refused to acknowledge a single person as their leader.

No matter what the case may be, the undisputed fact remained that the Yunmei Orchestrawas made up of ill-tempered rascals.

Particularly when it came to public performances, they always kicked up a fuss and insisted on their own opinions instead of conforming to the standards that had been set.

Naturally, seeing Xiao Jingacting subservient towardYao Tangwas jarring to those who saw it.

He looked like an eager student listening to a mentor that he held in high regard.

Quiet, serious, receptive, and above all, obedient.

The three other musicians Xiao Jinghad brought along also sized upYao Tang, their eyes glittering with curiosity.

They had all played this composition before.

However, the feeling they usually conveyed to their audience was completely different from the one that the Glory Orchestraseemed to be going for.

They were apprehensive at first, thinking that there would be a conflict in the expression of their music, but they found that they played quite harmoniously with each other.

It was almost as if magic happened, if one believed in such things.

It was a rare and exciting experience.

None of them had ever achieved such favorable results after a first rehearsal, but this one went smoothly.

They recalled what Xiao Jinghad told them when he had first recruited them for this project:

“You guys have a lot to offer, and I’m sure you will gain just as much.”

They didn’t think much of the remark, especially when they learned that the captain of the orchestra they were joining was just a high school girl.

Surprisingly, playing under her guidance became a walk in the park, and they blended into the team seamlessly.

They could tell that Yao Tanghad an understanding of an orchestra’s performance that ran deeper than theirs.

They would even go so far as to call themselves amateurs compared to her.

In addition to that, they were also pleasantly surprised by her professionalism in conducting everyone.

Yao Tang was quick to point out the problematic parts and followed them up with solutions and suggestions to better their overall performance.

It was amazing how easily she had come up with these ideas, and how right they all were.

The threesome got to thinking then…

If Yao Tangcould coach their individual orchestras for a given period of time, their skills would definitely improve.

Alas, she probably would oblige them with this favor.

Nor could they expect her to, considering that she was a good friend of Xiao Jing.

Nevertheless, they all agreed that Yao Tang’s talent and expertise were indisputable.

They couldn’t help but envy the members of the Glory Orchestra.

These people were really lucky to have a genius directing them.

But… If something happened in the future, and they were asked to substitute for the Glory Orchestraagain, it would give them another opportunity to experienceYao Tang’s skills, right?

Of course!

They were all comrades in music, anyway. If the Glory Orchestraneeded them to fill in again someday, then, of course, they would step up and do it.

Meanwhile, the rest of the people were still fixated on the strange yet gratifying exchange between Xiao JingandYao Tang.

At last, the knot of worry, fear, and apprehension they had been carrying all this time loosened.

The Shanna Orchestra, on the other hand, was not doing so well on their side.

Xiao Jing had brought substitutes for theGlory Orchestra, and if they were sure to be skilled musicians like himself.

To make matters worse, Wu Haihad just upped and gone after receiving a phone call.

The only hope they could hold on to now was that those stand-ins wouldn’t incorporate well with the Glory Orchestraand ultimately ruin their performance.
