Speaking of the music exchange meeting, Qiao Chen's dull eyes finally brightened up. She looked at him with ambition flashing in her eyes. She smiled and said modestly, "Everything is ready. My aunt said she helped me contact Master Steven. Master Steven likes my piano music very much and has agreed to accept me as his student."
"Are you talking about Master Steven?" Fu Ge couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
Qiao Chen lowered her head shyly, "Yes. It's Master Steven from the International Piano Association. He knows my aunt. He came to my birthday party before. After that, I have been in private contact with Master Steven and often wrote emails to ask him questions about the piano. This time my aunt mentioned me to him, and I didn't expect that he didn't refuse and agreed to accept me as his apprentice."
Steven's attainments in piano are not inferior to Nie Mi's attainments in guzheng, and he is also one of the world-renowned hall-of-fame musicians.
He is also the vice president of the International Piano Association.
With the title, if Qiao Chen could really become Steven's disciple, it would be no worse than Qiao Nian becoming Nie Mi's last disciple.
At least in terms of reputation, the two seem to be evenly matched!
Since Qiao Chen missed Nie Mi, being able to take down Steven was the best outcome.
Fu Ge was very happy for her. His handsome face could not hide his joy as he said, "Congratulations, Chenchen. Master Steven is no worse than Master Nie, and he is also a master in the field of piano, which is what you are best at. You will have a chance to enter the international stage if you follow him. Master Nie is also famous internationally, but the konghou is, after all, an instrument that is not up to standard. The international community still values the violin and piano more."
So, in all, Qiao Nian became Nie Mi's apprentice, and Qiao Chen became Master Steven's apprentice. Putting aside the issue of connections, Qiao Chen is actually slightly better than Qiao Nian.
Fu Ge finally let out some of the turbid air that had been pressing on his chest for the past half month, and his eyes became gentle when he looked at Qiao Chen again.
He always knew that Qiao Chen was outstanding. In the beginning, he was attracted by the shining points in Qiao Chen. Facts proved that he was not wrong about her.
Qiao Chen did not disappoint him.
As for Qiao Nian...
Fu Ge remembered that she had taken a half-month leave and didn't know where she went. He couldn't help but frowned and didn't want to think about it too much.
"Thank you." Qiao Chen felt his gentle gaze on her and smiled. Speaking of this, she remembered something else. She frowned and said softly, "...By the way, Brother Fu, I heard that Mr. Nie will not be attending the music exchange meeting this time."
"Didn't Wen Ziyu say that Mr. Nie would attend?" Fu Ge himself was not from this circle and didn't know much about the music exchange meeting that Qiao Chen mentioned. He only knew that the standard of this music exchange meeting was very high and Wen Ziyu's aunt had invited many celebrities to attend, as well as music masters from home and abroad.
When it comes to domestic music masters, no one can claim to be first if Nie Mi says he is second.
Masters from abroad like Steven have all come, but Nie Mi actually stood them up at the last minute
He felt that he was being too willful.
But when he thought about what Wen Ziyu had once told him about the ridiculous things Nie Mi did when he was young, he felt that with this master's personality, it was very likely that he would do such a thing.
He pursed his lips, his eyes were cold, and a figure appeared in his mind.
Wild and bandit-like!
He is also someone who can do such a thing.
He somewhat understood why Nie Mi chose Qiao Nian as his last disciple. Perhaps in addition to Qiao Nian's ability to play the konghou, his personality was also a factor.
Mr. Nie’s personality is incompatible with Chenchen’s well-behaved character.
