Therefore, Kang Xue walked in front of professor Bai and said, “Professor Bai, I heard that Jiang Yu even won this year’s Movie Queen Award!”
Jiang Yu was quite surprised, because logically speaking, Kang Xue would not speak up for her.
Professor Bai was very happy and said, “I already know about this news! Jiang Yu, you really did not disappoint me!”
Kang Xue originally wanted to say something weird about Jiang Yu buying internet trolls to buy tickets, but seeing Professor Bai’s reaction, she could only swallow her words.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have mentioned it.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “I also have to thank teacher for nurturing me.”
Professor Bai smiled and said, “Oh right, Jiang Yu, there’s an international piano competition soon. The school has five spots, and they plan to select four students from the music department to participate.”
“Four?” Kang Xue was the first to notice that something was wrong with the number and asked, “But teacher, isn’t there five spots in the school?”
Professor Bai explained, “There is still one spot. I have already recommended Jiang Yu directly.”
Kang Xue was in disbelief and said, “But Jiang Yu… is not a music department student.”
Professor Bai said, “But everyone has witnessed Jiang Yu’s piano strength. So I have my own reasons for recommending her.”
Kang Xue recalled that there was an international piano competition a long time ago, but it was just a friendly international exchange. It was not an international competition at all.
Since the competition was also called this name, it might be just a friendly exchange like the previous competition.
But what Professor Bai said next surprised Kang Xue.
Professor Bai said, “This competition is jointly organized by our school and the famous art school, Cecilia University. The first place winner can go to Cecilia University to exchange for a semester.”
Cecilia University?! This was the top ten art schools in the world!
How many people couldn’t get in? Now, as long as they got first place in the international piano competition, they could exchange for a semester! This was the dream of countless people!
Kang Xue asked anxiously, “Professor Bai, then, then am I in the four spots?”
Professor Bai said, “These four spots need to be fought for by yourselves. The school will first conduct a selection competition and select four people to take the place of the school.”
Kang Xue pointed at Jiang Yu and asked, “Jiang Yu is not a music student. Doesn’t she need to participate in the selection?”
Professor Bai said, “Jiang Yu is already the candidate I recommended. She doesn’t need to participate in the selection competition.”
Kang Xue was not convinced, she said, “But that’s her strength from before, not now! She is not a music student, nor does she need to participate in the selection competition. She can directly represent the school in the competition. If others find out about this, won’t they say that Jiang Yu has pulled strings?”
Professor Bai felt that Kang Xue’s words made sense. She said apologetically to Jiang Yu, “I didn’t consider this reason. Then, Jiang Yu, do you think you can participate in the selection competition?”
Jiang Yu nodded and said, “Okay. It’s just right. This way, we can prevent others from gossiping behind our backs.”
As she said this, she gave Kang Xue a meaningful glance.
Kang Xue said unhappily, “What do you mean by looking at me?”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It’s just your illusion. I’m not looking at you.”
“You!” Kang Xue was so angry that she didn’t know what to say.
However, her anger quickly dissipated.
So what if Jiang Yu’s piano skills were strong? She had often played the piano during this period of time. She didn’t know how many pieces she had practiced. Meanwhile, Jiang Yu had been busy filming and recording variety shows. She didn’t have time to practice the piano at all.
She didn’t believe that Jiang Yu’s piano skills were stronger than hers.
Therefore, she said with a smile, “Then take it that I was wrong. But Jiang Yu, listen carefully. This time, from the beginning of the preliminaries, I will never give in to you.”
Jiang Yu said with a smile, “I’ll accompany you at any time.”
