Qiao Chen had participated in a piano association competition with her before, and almost beat her to win first place, but in the end it was revealed that the song was plagiarized from someone else.
This shows that Qiao Chen himself doesn’t have much ability.
She never took people like this seriously.
“…Have you asked someone to modify the song this time?” This opportunity was too important, Tang Wanru was particularly worried and asked again.
Jiang Xianrou forced herself to forget what happened at the Wei family today. Her expression eased a little and she nodded, "Changed it. I've studied the music of Chasing the Light. She just added traditional elements to rock music."
"This time I used her method to find a group of folk artists to revise the arrangement for me and incorporate traditional elements. I think Mr. Nie will like it."
When she mentioned this, she exuded confidence, her back straightened, and she said to Tang Wanru: "I didn't want to learn other people's styles. I am who I am. I think my arrangement is fine. The award from the piano association last time proved it. I won first place, which shows that the music is fine."
"It's just that Mr. Nie likes traditional instruments. If I don't add traditional elements, I'm afraid he will use the same words as last time to get rid of me."
She looked down on the inferior music like Chasing the Light, but for the sake of the title of Master Nie's last disciple, she had to learn and imitate it.
To her proud character, this was a humiliation.
Jiang Xianrou pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and lowered her voice, saying, "...When I succeed in becoming Master Nie's disciple, I should continue to learn the piano. The konghou is something you can play for a while, but it's out of date after all! Look at which high-end concerts in the world now have instruments like konghou, suola, guzheng, and erhu. There are only pianos and violins. If you want to be on the international stage, you still have to rely on the piano."
She respected Mr. Nie's achievements in music, but she wanted to step onto a higher stage, and the konghou... was not worthy of her in-depth study.
She didn't understand why Mr. Nie was so obsessed with traditional musical instruments. Wouldn't it be better to keep up with the times
"I don't agree with you giving up the piano to learn the konghou either." Tang Wanru thought so too, and said calmly: "You have already passed the eighth level of piano and have reached the performance level. There is no need to give up what you are good at and learn an instrument you are not good at. It's just that you know Mr. Nie's character. He is obsessed with the konghou."
Jiang Xianrou knew very well that Nie Mi was obsessed with the konghou, and this was no secret in the circle!
It’s just that the konghou is too difficult, and many of the techniques have been lost.
There's no point in learning it.
Tang Wanru: "He hasn't found a suitable successor in these years, so it's no surprise that he prefers traditional music. After all, he relied on traditional instruments to become the master he is today! You just need to follow his preferences and cater to his arrangement, and everything will be fine once you pass this stage."
"Um."
Jiang Xianrou responded without wasting any more time and said to Tang Wanru, "Mom, I'm going to the piano room to practice and revise the arrangement while I'm at it."
"Go ahead." Tang Wanru didn't try to keep her. She smiled gently and watched her go upstairs, already looking forward to tomorrow.

The next day.
Qiao Nian slept until the evening.
The consequence of sleeping too long was that when she woke up she found her neck was a little stiff, and when she twisted her neck she could hear the sound of the meridians in the back of her neck.
After Qiao Nian woke up, he took a shower, changed his clothes, walked out with a hot towel pressed on the back of his neck, and then picked up the mobile phone that he had left on the table to charge last night.
