Chapter 632: If Being Excellent Is Not the Standard

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Master Nie, what are your standards for choosing students?

“As the most influential person in the country’s music industry, you definitely have your own selection criteria. I’m only a beginner, so I don’t quite understand what your selection criteria are.

“Since you’re choosing a successor, you must be choosing children with good musical talent. You’re looking at music skills. May I ask what instrument this student of yours is good at? What grades did she pass?”

Everyone fell silent at Tang Wanru’s words.

Although no one knew why Master Nie had given up on Jiang Xianrou and chosen a girl who had appeared out of nowhere.

However, Nie Mi was still a master. Her question was equivalent to openly questioning Nie Mi’s taste in choosing people.

Nie Mi had always given her face because of Jiang Weishang. Now that she said this, the elder’s expression suddenly darkened. His eyes were like ice cones, and he looked like he was about to explode.

As a junior, Tang Wanru was indignant. She wanted to fight for an explanation for her daughter. This was not wrong.

However, today was Nie Mi’s birthday. It was a joyous occasion. But she put him on the spot in front of everyone. This kind of behavior was disrespectful.

Qiao Nian looked up and glanced at her with her dark eyes. Without a trace, she stopped Nie Mi, who was trying to stand up for her. She looked up and said indifferently, “I studied the electronic piano for a few years. I didn’t get tested.”

The banquet hall erupted again.

There was a flurry of discussion.

“Heavens, I thought she looked inconspicuous. At least she has some real talent. I didn’t expect her to only know how to play the electronic piano. Is the electronic piano considered an instrument? That’s just child’s play!”

“She only studied the electronic piano for a few years. This is too…”

“I don’t understand why Master Nie would choose Qiao Nian instead of the level-eight piano professional Jiang Xianrou. It’s too ridiculous!”

Of course, Nie Mi heard the whispers around comparing Qiao Nian and Jiang Xianrou. Initially, he had restrained himself from embarrassing his old friend’s granddaughter. However, Tang Wanru’s actions were too outrageous. He definitely wanted to protect Qiao Nian more.

“You didn’t take any tests?” After being stunned, Tang Wanru’s expression became thought-provoking. She turned to ask the stern-faced elder, “Master Nie, I don’t understand your criteria for choosing her as your student. I don’t understand how to learn from you, either. If being outstanding isn’t the criteria, I don’t understand what other criteria there are.”

She was only short of openly saying that Jiang Xianrou was more outstanding than Qiao Nian!

However, many people agreed with this.

Yes, if being outstanding was not the standard to learn from him, what was the standard? Face? Luck?

The gazes around her were like ice cones. Many people cried out for injustice for Jiang Xianrou, but their gazes toward Qiao Nian were not as friendly.

Qin Si looked at the girl’s sloppy standing posture in the center of the storm. So many people were looking at her differently, but she could still maintain her calm. It was as if she had nothing to do with the entire matter. Just her temperament alone was impressive.

One had to know that even the supposedly outstanding Jiang Xianrou could not maintain her composure when she was rejected by Nie Mi in public. For a moment, her expression almost collapsed.

But Qiao Nian…

She was really calm!

She was calm and extraordinary!

When Tang Wanru spoke, she even casually raised her hand and pulled down the brim of her cap. It was quite wild!

A little wild and unrestrained.

“Young Master Qin, should we help Miss Qiao out?” Zhang Yang asked softly.
