After Jiang Yu went on stage, she first bowed to the audience and then sat in front of the piano. She took a deep breath and her ten fingers danced nimbly on the black and white keys of the piano.
Jiang Yu played John Strauss Jr.’s “Blue Danube River”, which was known as the “Second national anthem of Austria”.
Professor Carl closed his eyes and listened to the song quietly. His previous frustration had now been calmed down.
When the song came to an end, there was complete silence below the stage.
Professor Karl slowly opened his eyes and could not help but applaud Jiang Yu.
“Professor Bai, your disciple’s strength is indeed not bad. I think highly of her,” said Professor Karl.
Professor Bai smiled and said, “Jiang Yu is indeed my proudest disciple.”
Professor Karl clapped his hands in approval and said, “Good! Then Jiang Yu will be the fifth person I choose!”
In the end, Jiang Yu managed to get the coveted spot in front of those who didn’t believe in her before.
There were a total of five people representing Ivy University in the competition. They were Tang Mi, Kang Xue, Wang Qing, Lin Bei, and Jiang Yu.
Apart from Jiang Yu, the other four people were all outstanding in the music department. They were called “Music goddesses” by the people in the school forum.
Carl slowly walked past the first four people and finally stopped in front of Jiang Yu.
He looked at Jiang Yu and asked, “Have you studied piano before?”
Jiang Yu answered politely, “I haven’t studied it systematically. I’ve only taught myself for a period of time.”
“Self-taught?” Carl was very shocked, he said, “I didn’t expect that the piano you taught yourself to have such extraordinary strength! It seems that I underestimated you just now. Fortunately, your teacher, Professor Bai, praised and defended you just now, which made me interested in you. Otherwise, I would have missed you, an excellent student.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Thank you for your praise Professor Karl.”
Karl’s praise for Jiang Yu made the other four people’s hearts burn with jealousy.
Jiang Yu was not a music student, nor was she recognized as the “Goddess of music” on the school forum. Why did Professor Carl only praise her? How did Jiang Yu get such a good opportunity?
Some people did not like it and did not want to give Jiang Yu a good look, so they said, “Professor Carl praised her so much. Jiang Yu, why are you still here? Why don’t you just admit it?”
The person who spoke wasn’t Kang Xue, but Wang Qing.
Although Kang Xue was domineering, she wasn’t brainless. Under such circumstances, it was best for her to remain silent and not speak. She didn’t expect Wang Qing to be the one who couldn’t hold it in and actually spoke sarcastically to Jiang Yu in front of Professor Carl.
Although Jiang Yu wasn’t familiar with Wang Qing, since things had come to this, she also knew why Wang Qing spoke like that.
However, Jiang Yu didn’t want to argue with Wang Qing face to face, so she said, “You’re too polite. Your performance is excellent, and everyone is not inferior.”
Wang Qing said, “Excellent? I don’t think it’s as excellent as yours, right? Otherwise, why would Professor Carl praise you?”
After saying that, even Professor Carl, who didn’t know what was going on between them, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
The rest of the people also wanted to pretend that they didn’t know Wang Qing. This person was really brainless.
It was one thing for him to be sarcastic to Jiang Yu, but he actually dared to say such words in front of Professor Carl? Wasn’t it obvious that Professor Carl didn’t know how to judge people? He only knew how to praise Jiang Yu, but he didn’t know how to praise others. Did he say that Professor Carl didn’t have emotional intelligence?
Wang Qing finally realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly covered his mouth and said, “Professor… Professor Karl! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to say that!”
