If that student was really Elder Xu’s disciple, then there was no need for that student to take the test. They’d automatically be able to enter the Music Association.
What on earth was going on?
Master Zhang was truly dumbfounded.
Has the entire world has gone mad? He just couldn’t understand what was going on!
President Tan, however, understood his words clearly. It was obvious that Elder Xu was referring to Yao Tang as his disciple. Upon knowing this, his entire face darkened.
A complicated look flashed across his eyes.
Now that Elder Xu had confirmed it, it was obvious that President Tan has truly stumbled across the diamond.
If she wasn’t a genius, Elder Xu wouldn’t hurry around and call her his disciple. President Tan took a deep breath. What was he going to do now?
If he really wanted Yao Tang as his disciple, then that meant he’d also be rewarded with a seat in the Cabinet.
However, before he could think about anything, Yao Tang quickly corrected him. “Your junior, not your disciple.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Xu’s face fell. He looked like a child who has just been denied a Christmas present.
A few seconds ago, he had actually talked with Yao Tang to ask her permission of taking her under his wing.
In fact, he even explained to her how a student was allowed to have two teachers—one within the cabinet, and one outside the cabinet. It wouldn’t affect her relationship with President Tan.
Moreover, he even thought of how to split the student’s time between him and President Tan.
He didn’t expect Yao Tangto have made up her mind and rejected him. He took a deep breath.
It seemed that he couldn’t get what he wants.
President Tan looked so happy that he was tempted to raise up his hands and touch the sky.
Just as President Tan had guessed, Yao Tanghad no intention of finding another teacher.
She took a deep breath.
Taking one teacher was already troublesome enough. Having two teachers would only give her a headache. It just wasn’t worth the hassle at all.
“Aren’t you going to acknowledge Elder Xu as your teacher?”
Yao Tang raised her eyebrows. “Don’t I already have you?”
“He’s still a great role model. Shouldn’t you reconsider this opportunity?”
As he said this, the smile on President Tan’s face widened even more. His eyes couldn’t help but glitter.
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, it was still to no avail.
Anyone could tell just how happy he was.
This was an opportunity of a lifetime, and his student was really going to reject it just for him! He couldn’t help but feel a little bit prideful. He smirked.
Seeing his smug face, Elder Xu resisted the urge to scowl.
On the other side, Master Zhang and Yao Ran were stunned.
They had never thought that the five-star cabinet leader would want to take Yao Tang under his wing. Despite his soft attitude, he still happened to be rejected by Yao Tang.
How could she have done this?
Didn’t she know that accepting his tutelage would grant her great opportunities?
Didn’t she know how powerful the Cabinet Elder was?
Did she think that President Tan was the most powerful man in the association? Why would she reject the old man so bluntly?
Even Yao Ran was stunned.
What she didn’t expect was that the things she had done to Yao Tang that day not only benefitted her but also remove her from the assessment list.
At first, he didn’t even seem to pay much attention to Yao Tang.
Now, he wanted her as his student.
Could it be that everything she had done was for Yao Tang’s benefit?
At this point, Yao Ran felt like vomiting blood.
Initially, she was pissed off by the fact that Yao Tang was always in the limelight. Now, it seemed that she had turned herself into a bigger joke in the process.
She even made the judges have such a bad impression of her.
She suffered a double loss.
Yao Ran dug her fingernails into her palms, drawing blood. She shuffled slowly, unsure of what to do.
Seeing her miserable experience, Master Zhang also didn’t know what to do.
