Chapter 287 - The Birth of Two Actresses! Lie Down and Win in Life

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It hadn’t been long since Tian Xiaoxiao came to the association, and she had never been to Master Wei’s recital before.

Furthermore, Master Wei often traveled overseas.

So it was normal for her not to recognize him.

Master Wei nodded slightly, his expression gentle. “I’m Qin Ran’s teacher.”

“Oh.” Tian Xiaoxiao nodded and reacted. “Hello.”

“How’s your practice recently?” There weren’t many people in the room, so Master Wei looked at Qin Ran directly. He raised his chin and motioned for her to talk at the window.

“It’s okay.” Qin Ran threw the books in her hands onto the table, then walked over to pick up the violin by the window. “But I have a few questions...”

Master Wei put aside the new training schedule and listened to her.

Aware of the other people in the training room, they kept their voices low.

But over here, Wang Zifeng was still rooted to the spot, motionless.

“Are you okay?” Tian Xiaoxiao didn’t disturb them and turned to Wang Zifeng instead while tying her hair up.

Only then did Wang Zifeng move his hands, but his face was pale as if he had seen a ghost.

Tian Xiaoxiao went to the bookshelves to find books.

When Wang Zifeng came over, she leaned closer to him and whispered, “Why is Qin Ran’s teacher not Dai Ran?”

“Dai Ran?” Wang Zifeng finally returned to his senses. He glanced at Tian Xiaoxiao. “Do you know who her teacher is?”

“I’ve never seen him before.” Tian Xiaoxiao pulled out a book.

She sounded a little regretful.

Wang Zifeng glanced at her blankly. “Master Wei.”

“Who?”

Wang Zifeng repeated, “Master Wei.”

“Slam—” The book fell to the ground.

After a while, Tian Xiaoxiao and Wang Zifeng both sat beside Master Wei and listened to his lecture.

When it was almost 12 pm, Master Wei had other matters to attend to, so he left Qin Ran with the new training schedule. Standing up, he exclaimed, “You’re progressing very quickly. I might have new plans for you.”

Qin Ran just stood there, looking down at the new training plan. She said in a calm voice, “I’m progressing okay.”

Master Wei lowered his head slightly and stared at his apprentice, thinking about how it was really not difficult for her to pass the sixth grade in two months.

Once Master Wei left.

Tian Xiaoxiao and Wang Zifeng stared at her intently.

Calmly putting away the training plan, Qin Ran raised her chin at them and said coolly, “Let’s go eat.”

“Actually, this is also considered normal...” Wang Zifeng followed Qin Ran. “She’s the best among all the freshmen, so she must be the target of competition for the teachers.”

He had always thought of Dai Ran and all the other teachers but had never considered Master Wei before because he never accepted disciples...

Tian Xiaoxiao followed behind them. She took out her phone and sent a message to her manager very seriously—

[To be honest, I’m really the Emperor of Europe!]

The manager was still merciless. Her reply was quick and concise—

[Ha.]

Immediately after—

[So today you were selected as the female lead by a big director?]

[Today, did you shoot a movie with the Movie Emperor Qin?]

[Today, did you gain a million fans?]

[You’re just an extra who played a corpse in a web drama (smile)]

Her manager’s three questions immediately shot her down.

Tian Xiaoxiao quietly kept her phone.

The three people came to the second floor of the cafeteria in the association.

Wang Zifeng ordered the dishes familiarly.

Beside him happened to be Tian Yiyun’s group. Quite a few people were at her table, and they were discussing Teacher Dai enthusiastically.

“Really? You saw Qin Yu in Teacher Dai’s room? Is she very powerful?” They spoke very loudly as if they had amplified their voices intentionally.

Qin Ran’s table could hear them clearly.

The smile on Tian Yiyun’s babyface was very obvious. “Teacher Dai and Senior Qin Yu are both very nice...”

Her voice was especially loud.

Qin Ran leaned on the back of the chair and frowned. Crossing her legs, she tapped her fingers irregularly and seemed rather annoyed.

The people at the next table were from Tian Yiyun’s party. When they saw Qin Ran and the others approaching, they naturally amplified their voices deliberately.

If it had been a few hours ago, Tian Xiaoxiao and Wang Zifeng would be very angry.

But now...

Tian Xiaoxiao calmly poured a glass of water for Qin Ran and herself. She smiled and turned to Wang Zifeng. “Wang Zifeng, do you remember the techniques that Master Wei taught today?”

Her voice wasn’t low.

“Of course, I noted down everything Master Wei said in my notebook. I’ll show it to you in the training room.” Wang Zifeng reacted and immediately sang the same tune.

“We have to thank Master Wei for taking care of us on account of Qin Ran.”

“After all, Master Wei is Qin Ran’s teacher.”

“Yes, Master Wei is a good person.”

“...”

The two of them exchanged words, mixing the word “Master Wei” in their sentences.

The voices of the people at the next table gradually disappeared.

They were still talking about “Master Wei” and “Qin Ran” as if others couldn’t hear them.

Qin Ran had been annoyed at first, but after seeing their behavior, she suddenly realized the meaning of “embarrassment” for the first time.

“No.” Knocking on the table, she leaned back and scolded them with a smile. “You two, that’s enough.”

“Ok.” Tian Xiaoxiao reached out and brushed her curly hair. She nodded and said a little regretfully, “Qin Ran, thank you so much for your teacher, Master Wei.”

She sounded pretty damn sincere.

Qin Ran was speechless.

These two... no wonder they were from the Academy of Fine Arts.

**

They left once the three of them finished their meal.

Tian Yiyun and her entourage at the table next door came back to their senses.

One person couldn’t help but say, “I think I heard that Master Wei also accepted a disciple. I didn’t expect it to be Qin Ran. No wonder Teacher Dai...” When he said this, someone pinched his arm.

This person glanced at Tian Yiyun’s expression and immediately retracted what he just said.

Although Dai Ran was second only to Master Wei, even ten of him couldn’t be compared to one Master Wei. It couldn’t be measured by quantity.

“Wang Zifeng and the others got lucky. They can still listen when Master Wei is teaching Qin Ran,” someone said enviously.

Her tone was full of envy and jealousy.

But at the mention of this, several people subconsciously glanced at Li Xue...

After all, Li Xue had originally been assigned to Qin Ran’s group...

Her expression stiffened, but she still managed to control it.

She felt suffocated as if ants were biting down on her heart.

Tian Yiyun only smiled sweetly. “My senior is going to take the sixth-grade violin exam in a few days.”

“Sixth-grade so soon?” The group of people at the table forcibly cheered up again, but in the end, they still had no appetite for their meal.

“It’s terrifying. Didn’t she only get the fifth-grade at the end of last year?”

“...”

In the evening, after class.

The three of them went downstairs and left early in the afternoon.

Tian Xiaoxiao’s manager hadn’t come yet, and Qin Ran hadn’t notified Cheng Juan in advance. He would reach in about half an hour.

It was quite hot outside, so the three of them waited at the coffee shop opposite.

Not far from the Violin Association was a Film and Television base.

They would occasionally meet some celebrities who weren’t particularly famous.

The three of them entered and bumped into a group of people.

The man in front glanced at Tian Xiaoxiao and said in amusement, “Oh, it’s Big Celebrity Tian.”

Of course, he didn’t look at Wang Zifeng and Qin Ran beside her. He could guess without thinking what kind of person mixed with Tian Xiaoxiao.

Glancing at him, she said directly, “Thank you.”

“You really dared to answer.” The man squinted at her and wasn’t bothered by her tone. He just said mockingly, “I knew not to bring you along. If it wasn’t for you, our team would already have...”

Qin Ran pressed down her hat. She was used to being arrogant and didn’t know when to restrain herself. “Excuse me, make way.”

Her tone was undisciplined and offensive. “A good dog doesn’t stand in the way.”

She was rather impolite.

This was probably the first time the man heard this, as he glanced at Tian Xiaoxiao coldly and said in annoyance, “Tian Xiaoxiao, I guess you really don’t want to be in the industry anymore!”

He stared at Tian Xiaoxiao and the others with a dark expression and then turned to leave.

Tian Xiaoxiao’s mood seemed to improve.

They sat down by the window. After the waiter brought their coffee over, Tian Xiaoxiao stirred it and said, “That was my former manager just now.”

Wang Zifeng was a little slow. “What about now?”

“He terminated the contract with me,” Tian Xiaoxiao took off her sunglasses and replied indifferently.

Qin Ran drank coffee slowly and raised an eyebrow silently.

Not long after, a van stopped outside the coffee shop.

Tian Xiaoxiao’s manager came out and stomped over on her high heels angrily. She entered the coffee shop and looked around before quickly finding Tian Xiaoxiao. “Tian Xiaoxiao, you troublemaker, you’ve made trouble for me again! Do you know that Bai Tiantian and her manager already signed with the Jiang Corporation! And you still provoked them! Do you want to quit the entertainment industry?!”

Her voice was very loud.

Qin Ran winced and dug her ear.
