Chapter 551: Loathing Each Other
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Fortunately, Feng Duo only had the thought of kicking his opponent out in his heart and didn’t really act on it.
Thinking of the comments online saying that he was inferior to Jing Jianbai, Feng Duo found the person in front of him even more unpleasant.
At this moment, he still didn’t know that the teacher and Murong Qiao were standing outside the door.
“Hey.” Feng Duo stood up and walked towards Jing Jianbai.
He stood in front of the other party as if he was benevolent. “Are you just going to sit here? The teacher is coming soon.”
“It’s not good for the first place to slack off openly, right?” Feng Duo smiled evilly.
From the moment the other party snatched his piano position, Jing Jianbai didn’t have a good impression of this person.
At this moment, when he heard Feng Duo’s words, he didn’t even look up. He looked at the music score in his hand and wondered if there was anything else that needed to be modified.
Seeing that Jing Jianbai was ignoring him, Feng Duo frowned. Then, he realized that the other party’s gaze was focused on the handwritten music score. He clicked his tongue and planned to reach out to snatch the music score.
He wanted to see what could make Jing Jianbai ignore him.
However, when he stretched out his hand, he missed.
Jing Jianbai put it away and didn’t give Feng Duo a chance to snatch it away.
“What are you doing?” Jing Jianbai stood up and looked at him.
The two of them were standing, so people could feel the obvious difference in height.
Although they were both about 1.8 meters tall, Jing Jianbai was half a head taller than Feng Duo. There was clearly no expression on his face, but the way he looked down at Feng Duo was a little gloomy, instantly making people feel pressured.
If Jing Jianbai didn’t want to pay attention to him just now and didn’t have any feelings for Feng Duo, then Feng Duo’s overboard action of taking the initiative to snatch his music score was equivalent to stepping on the edge of Jing Jianbai’s defense.
He detested this person.
Jing Jianbai labeled Feng Duo like this in his heart.
The atmosphere in the practice room suddenly froze, making people feel suffocated and restless.
“What are you all doing? Why aren’t you practicing?” The teacher hurriedly said and walked in.
If he didn’t come in soon, he was really afraid that these two people would cause trouble. It would be even worse if he left a bad impression in front of Murong Qiao.
Stop the damage in time, stop the damage in time! The teacher chanted in his heart.
“…Tsk.” When Feng Duo saw his teacher coming, he pulled away from Jing Jianbai with a dark expression.
Moreover—
Feng Duo glanced at Murong Qiao, who was standing at the door. He had to admit that he had to be a little more “obedient” in front of this person.
He knew that this person was the boss of one of the companies. It wouldn’t be good for him if the other party’s image of him was lowered.
However, Feng Duo didn’t know that his actions yesterday had already caused him to be blacklisted by Murong Qiao.
“I’ve seen your information. Jing Jianbai specializes in the piano, right… Feng Duo, I saw that you’ve learned a little about everything in your information. Is there anything you’re better at?” The teacher looked at Feng Duo.
Feng Duo looked at Jing Jianbai beside him in disdain before answering slowly, “Of course, I’m proficient in everything.”
Unlike some people.
Murong Qiao was still watching outside. Feng Duo has to say that he’s the best.
“I see…” The teacher had a headache.
The teachers who could be invited by the production team to teach were naturally people with backgrounds. Therefore, with their teaching experience, the teacher had already determined that this student must be very difficult to deal with after just meeting Feng Duo.
At this moment, Feng Duo was full of energy to perform. He was usually so lazy that he couldn’t be seen. At this moment, he tried all the instruments he knew.
In the end, after performing, he turned around confidently and realized that Murong Qiao, who had been standing outside the door, had already left.
Murong Qiao disappeared because she received a call from Xu Zhuo.
“Young Miss Murong, my call at this time didn’t disturb you, right?” Xu Zhuo first exchanged a few pleasantries.
Murong Qiao replied casually, “It’s fine. Why are you calling?”
“Oh, it’s like this. I have something to tell you at the last minute…”
Xu Zhuo coughed dryly, his tone filled with embarrassment.
“It’s the boss of South Creek, Jiang Zhou. He’s secretly in contact with the judges. In addition—”
This matter was complicated and couldn’t be explained clearly in a short period of time. Xu Zhuo roughly explained.
Murong Qiao glanced at the time. “I haven’t left yet. I’ll go look for you.”
She was only free to come over today to take a look. Xu Zhuo was looking for her for something and happened to clash with this time.
Murong Qiao was already familiar with the way to the director’s office. She took a few detours and arrived at her destination.
There was no one at the door of the director’s office. Murong Qiao walked over and raised her hand to knock, but she could hear Xu Zhuo’s voice coming from inside.
“The program has already been decided… I…”
“Stuffing people in? This—if you had told me during the first episode, I would have agreed without hesitation. But now that the show has been broadcasted.”
“…I know, I know.”
“Alright, I’ll think about it.”
Murong Qiao didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but it didn’t seem appropriate to knock on the door before the other party ended the call.
Hence, she could only wait outside before knocking on the door and waiting for Xu Zhuo’s reaction.
“Didn’t I say that I’m working—oh, it’s Young Miss Murong. Sorry, sorry.”
He was a little surprised, but a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face belatedly. He was wondering if the other party had heard his call when she came.
“You heard that?” Xu Zhuo looked at Murong Qiao tentatively and saw her nod in response.
It was unknown if Xu Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief or something, but in short, he relaxed a lot after receiving Murong Qiao’s answer. It was more appropriate to say that it was a vicious cycle.
“It’s the boss of South Creek, Jiang Zhou. He’s in contact with the show judge, Luo Yunying. He’s probably interested in some contestants.”
In fact, Jiang Zhou’s words were not completely appropriate.
After the preliminaries, South Creek contacted the top few contestants according to the popularity rankings released by the competition.
One of the contestants was ranked seventh. His name was Wen Shuo. After receiving the call from South Creek, he immediately replied.
This should be considered as both sides having the intention to interact, so South Creek quickly arranged a place to meet Wen Shuo in private.
Since Murong Qiao had already appeared on stage and taken the initiative to win the contestants’ favor, South Creek had no intention of falling behind.
After Wen Shuo entered the private room, he met the manager of South Creek, Deng Xingyan.
Deng Xingyan was one of the few powerful managers in South Creek and was quite famous.
“Hello.” Wen Shuo smiled politely.
Deng Xingyan’s attitude was also gentle. “Hello, Wen Shuo, right?”
“That’s right.” Wen Shuo nodded and admitted, “What we talked about on the phone—”
He came here today because Deng Xingyan had promised him on the phone that he could push him to a better ranking.
In the competition, the contestants were also divided into levels. They were evaluated based on their popularity, strength, or other abilities.
For example, Jing Jianbai, Qiu Ze, and Feng Duo were Grade As. They were all the most favored people.
Then, looking down, it was B,C,D—etc.
As for Wen Shuo’s current ranking, it was considered a stable C-rank. It was neither high nor low, and he was on the verge of being ignored by the camera.
“Of course I remember,” Deng Xingyan said with a smile.
Seeing that Wen Shuo had taken the initiative to mention this matter, Deng Xingyan removed the unnecessary procedures and started talking about this
matter..
