Ye Lan was shocked to find that the person who stood up was none other than Hai Tong.
Hai Tong didn't notice that Ye Lan had also arrived at the scene. She clenched her fists and was still defending her friend: "What qualifications do you have to question the Vienna Master?!"
"what about me?"
Nie Mi just came in after getting the zither when he heard Hai Tong's words. He immediately frowned and asked back in a full-throated voice.
"Am I qualified to question him?"
Just because Haitong has been abroad for three years doesn't mean she doesn't know anyone in Beijing.
She recognized at a glance that the old man who interrupted her was the famous Nie Mi, the inheritor of the konghou and the leading music master in China.
She was obviously panicked, her expression was flustered, and she couldn't open her mouth, as if the person confronting Qiao Nian was another person.
Why would Mr. Nie suddenly stand up and speak up for the people who came to cause trouble
Haitong had no idea what had gone wrong, but she could feel the gazes from all directions looking at her, as if they were watching the fun.
She immediately bit her lip and regretted standing up so quickly. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been the first to stand out and be humiliated in public by Mr. Nie.
Fortunately, Nie Mi didn't want to argue with a junior like her. He ignored her, looked at the stage, and said to the creators: "Since our friends abroad have shown their skills, why don't we show ours too?"
The main creators had tolerated the so-called master for a long time. Seeing that Nie Mi was willing to speak up for them, how could they disagree? They immediately stepped aside and made room for him.
Very respectful.
"Mr. Nie, please."
Next to him was the pianist who had been singled out and humiliated by Vienna before. The pianist's cheeks flushed with excitement: "…It is our honor to hear your performance!"
Nie Mi walked up steadily, squeezed Vienna who was standing in the middle of the field, and said with full energy: "My... friend, is everything okay?"
The audience was filled with heated discussions.
"I'm so lucky, right? I bought a ticket and not only can I watch a musical, but I can also watch two top music masters from home and abroad battle."
Someone next to him said immediately.
"What kind of competition is this? Don't you know that Master Nie's reputation abroad is higher than his? He is a master, but his status at home and abroad is not as high as Master Nie's. It was only this time that Master Nie didn't want to be on stage and show off, so he called him. Who knew that he would be so arrogant and belittle our culture everywhere, and Master Nie couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up."
The person who was speaking was extremely disdainful of Vienna and Elena on the stage.
"A competition between people of the same level is called a contest. Master Nie is crushing this so-called Vienna Master!"
Vienna also heard the tide of discussions below.
His originally arrogant and contemptuous expression changed slightly. He held the microphone and did not answer for a long time. Mainly because he was worried about being crushed and slapped in the face.
Nie Mi waited for him patiently.
Vienna saw hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience staring at him, and even the volume of whispers dropped. He was already in a dilemma.
I could only grit my teeth and say, "Of course."
Nie Mi stepped aside to make way: "Then go and sit over there."
Vienna's whole body stiffened, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down. He returned the microphone to the creative team and walked off the stage with a cold face.
He went down.
Elena followed him down.
She didn't show any dissatisfaction or emotion, and she was calm and composed, as if she was not the one being ousted.
He handed the microphone to the person next to him, without saying a word, and walked away calmly under the gaze of everyone.
