Chapter 2577  : Twins

However, that method was indeed very professional. It also proved that the contestants had already obtained international recognition.

He put down the phone. Fan Dinghao asked, “Dad, did they get a professional recommendation?”

“Yes.” Fan Yushu really did not expect Lin Shuhui to have such an ability after not being in Jingdu City for so many years and living in the countryside.

He had indeed underestimated her.

When Chen Yufeng heard this, her expression turned slightly ugly. Her status as a noblewoman that she was proud of could have suppressed Lin Shuhui. Now that this matter was out, her arrogance had completely disappeared.

Fan Dinghao couldn’t help but say, “In that case, Lin Shuhui actually has a good relationship with international masters.”

This happened to poke at Fan Yushu’s thoughts. Although he was also famous and had won many international awards, he did not receive as much recognition as Lin Shuhui back then.

He did not expect that after so many years, the recognition she received was still higher than his.

An unnatural look flashed across Fan Yushu’s face.

Chen Yufeng smiled and said, “These are just shortcuts. It doesn’t matter even if we don’t take them. Won’t we be able to get the qualifications with our own abilities? Lin Shuhui was able to take this step, but she won’t be able to get recommendation letters after that. The subsequent process has to be done through a real competition.”

Fan Dinghao and Ling Rong were slightly relieved.

As the three students she brought with her entered the domestic finals at the same time, Lin Shuhui was also arranged by the academy to give a lecture and impart everyone’s experience.

The academy also asked the relevant teachers to come and listen to her lecture.

Knowing that Lin Shuhui would be holding a lecture, Qiao Weiyang and Xu Wangzhi, who happened to be together because of the show, asked to attend the lecture.

The two of them wore masks and sat down in the back row.

Many students had already arrived.

“I heard that three of the students under Mrs. Lin entered the finals. If only I could gain some experience.”

“That’s right. That’s so amazing.”

“Lu Ke got in too, but he’s already very powerful.”

The students came in in twos and threes and sat together to talk in low voices.

Hearing that Aunt Lin was recognized by so many people, Qiao Weiyang, who was covered by a mask, smiled. Her eyes curved, and she could not hide her smile.

“I brought a notebook to take down notes.”

“Why would you bring a notebook? I’m going to take a video with my phone and take my time watching it when I get back.”

“That’s a good idea. If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought this notebook. It’s just getting in the way.”

It was obvious that everyone was looking forward to Lin Shuhui’s lecture.

Some teachers came in with serious expressions.

On the other hand, a few teachers muttered softly, “These three students didn’t rely on Lin Shuhui’s ability to enter the finals. I heard that she got them recommendation letters through her previous connections.”

“How could she have such an ability?”

“In the early years, she was valued and nurtured by a few international masters. But later on, she didn’t achieve much. It’s hard for me to accept that these students relied on their ability to enter the finals.”

“I see. Then what are they going to do in the finals? Can they still rely on recommendations?”

“That won’t do. In the future, they’ll have to compete fair and square. So what’s the use of the school arranging such a lecture?”

Qiao Weiyang frowned at these criticisms.

Seeing that Xu Wangzhi was about to stand up, she reached out and pulled him back. “Let them talk. Can we still argue with them? The only thing that can prove them wrong is our future results.”

“Yes, that’s right.” Xu Wangzhi didn’t act rashly anymore and glanced over.

Lin Shuhui had already started her lecture. Qiao Weiyang calmed herself down and listened seriously.

After the lecture, she and Xu Wangzhi walked toward Lin Shuhui.

Qiao Weiyang placed the documents regarding the domestic finals on the desk. Su Zhuoqian asked, “Are you going to prepare for the domestic finals soon?”

“That’s right. During the preliminaries, Aunt Lin said that with our standards, there’s no need for us to participate in the competition. Moreover, we were also worried that we’d cause unnecessary chaos. The fans would go over, and there wouldn’t be enough seats there,” Qiao Weivang said. “But we can’t use such a method from now on.’

Su Zhuoqian wrapped his arms around her and looked into her eyes gently. “You don’t need to prove your strength through other means.”

Qiao Weiyang smiled. “Aunt Lin used to like playing the piano very much and relied on it to support me. It’s just that her health was never good in the past. When I was in my teens, I got a chance to act in a movie and immediately agreed. I didn’t want her to work too hard. Later on, when I returned to the Qiao family, she still stayed in the countryside alone. But I know her love for the piano. This time, I’m participating in the competition. I know I’m doing it for myself, but I also know that Aunt Lin is using this method to express her love and regret for the piano.”

She spoke softly. She knew Aunt Lin’s thoughts very well.

However, there were also many things that she did not understand.

She said, “She wasn’t willing to return to Jingdu City to live, but in order to guide a few students, she still came back. This shows her feelings for the piano.

When she was young, she must have been hurt by love here. She never liked mentioning this, and what I know is very limited. I hope that after so many years, she can live a happier life and not still bear the harm of the past.”

“She definitely will,” Su Zhuoqian said calmly.

“Yes, I know she will.”

Although there was no publicity, the news that Xu Wangzhi and Qiao Weiyang were going to participate in the domestic finals was still spread.

When the fans found out, they were naturally very happy.

The fans were also proud that their idols could participate in such a heavyweight piano competition.

Everyone was asking each other if the competition would be live-streamed, if tickets would be sold, where they could watch it, and if they could go to the event location.

However, it was obvious that the answers to these questions were bound to disappoint them.

It was impossible for the piano competition to be held in a large venue that could accommodate so many people. Even if there were tickets, the number would be extremely limited.

Hence, the fans spontaneously asked around for the time and place. They planned to go to the event location to provide support. Even if they couldn’t watch the competition directly, they could at least see their idols with their own eyes. That way, their wishes could be fulfilled.

Sure enough, on the day of the competition, the periphery of the competition venue was already filled with fans.

Although there were a lot of fans and they were holding flowers and banners, they were all lined up in an orderly manner to not cause trouble for their idols..
