âWhy am I ranked 25th?â 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 âbeautiful pianistâ. But now, he was only ranked 25th. This ranking was not good enough.
âDid you give me the wrong score?â Meng Xiao pointed the finger at Tan Ron. âIs this judge really that good? Sheâs about the same age as me. How can she be a judge? And does she really know how to play the piano?â
Uncle Wu said unhappily, âThe people who can be judges have all been reviewed by us, so you donât 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.â
The pianist that Tao Yue offended earlier spoke up, âYouâve made a lot of mistakes when you played just now. Do you know that?â
âI know.â Meng Xiaoâs expression changed.
The piano master continued, âMaster Tan Rou pointed out the mistakes you made. If you donât believe me, you can take a closer look at the score record and the video replay of your performance.â
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 Xiaoâs 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. âFine, 1 guess you did a good job!â
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 Ronâs 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. âMrs. Hang, right?â Tao Yue rubbed her eyes and smiled. âAre you here to watch the competition?â
Qianqian pretended not to know Tao Yue. âWho are you?â
âHello, my name is Tao Yue, one of the contestants here today.â
âTao Yue?â Qianqian pretended to think about the name. âOh, I remember who you are. Youâre the contestant who said âI donât knowâ on stage today, right? Did you shout so loudly to attract attention or to ease the tense atmosphere?â
âIâm not in the best condition today. Iâve made a grave mistake.â Tao Yue said awkwardly.
âThat wasnât a mistake, was it? Arenât you in last place?â Qianqian asked. âEven if you did make one, you shouldnât have placed last, right?â
Double kill.
Every word Qianqian said was like a knife stabbing into Tao Yueâs heart. Tao Yue couldnât refute her, so she could only explain weakly, âIâm not in a good state today.â
This was the first time Tao Yue was talking to Mrs. Hang, so she had to seize the opportunity. âMrs. Hang, why donât we exchange numbers?â
Qianqian deliberately changed the topic. â1 remember that the number one socialite in the Capital also shares the same name. So youâre the number one socialite from the Tao family?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing that Qianqian had heard of her, Tao Yue quickly smiled and said, âThatâs me, but thatâs just a false reputation. Iâm not that great.â
âIndeed. 1 think theyâre lying too. After all, youâre such a terrible pianist. How could you be the number one socialite in the Capital?â Qianqian nodded.
Triple kill.
Tao Yue was struck three times in a row. Her smile froze on her face and she couldnât say a word for a long time. She didnât even know when Qianqian left..
