“That’s right. Jiang Xianrou’s arrangement this time was pretty good. I thought that she would be valued by Master Nie, but that wasn’t the case.”
“She prepared so meticulously for so long, but in the end, Master Nie already has a student he likes. It’s too embarrassing. Then, what was her performance on stage just now? Was she acting like a monkey?”
“You can’t blame Master Nie. They were the ones who wanted to play the monkey. Master Nie never said he wanted to take in a disciple.”
“Jiang Xianrou has really lost face this time!”
The whispers around her were like curses flowing into her ears. Jiang Xianrou’s expression was extremely ugly as she held onto her skirt. Her eyes were red, and her face was as red as a pig’s liver. If not for her pride preventing her from lowering her head, she would have cried.
How could Master Nie have a disciple?
She had never heard of it before!
Tang Wanru reacted the same way as her. She grabbed her bag tightly and stood up immediately. She couldn’t care less about the surrounding gazes watching the show. With a tense expression, she said reluctantly, “Master Nie, we’ve never heard of you having a student you like before. Why did you suddenly…”
Nie Mi remembered her relationship with Old Master Jiang. They were good friends, so he was still gentle. He patiently said, “It’s not sudden. I wanted to make this public before, but I didn’t find a suitable opportunity.
“At my age, it’s already difficult for me to bring one student along. I definitely don’t have the energy to accept more.”
He looked at Jiang Xianrou, who was at a loss. His white hair was full of energy, and his face was hale and hearty. He didn’t look like he was limited in energy at all. Instead, he looked like he didn’t want to bring another person along.
“Xianrou’s piano skills are not bad. My attainments in this field are average. Teaching her will only delay her. How about this? I know a few famous pianists internationally. Some of them are looking for good seedlings.”
He looked to the side with a kind gaze. “I remember you telling me that she’s a professional level eight piano player?”
“Yes. Miss Jiang passed the professional level eight piano test last year.” The person beside him nodded.
“Yes, that’s good.” Nie Mi raised his head and looked in Jiang Xianrou’s direction. “There aren’t many people your age who can pass the professional level eight exam. I’ll recommend you to them. One of them will definitely be willing to guide you.”
To be honest, this outcome was not bad.
Nie Mi had always had a high status in the music industry. Even overseas, he was a master.
Anyone who knew him and was called a pianist by him had some skills internationally. They were definitely not some ordinary cats and dogs could compare to.
If not for his recommendation, Jiang Xianrou wouldn’t be able to come into contact with these people.
The other people who had been mocking her for working for nothing now had envious looks on their faces as they looked at Jiang Xianrou.
Jiang Xianrou’s expression softened a little, but her face was still as pale as paper. After all, her target was Nie Mi, not a foreign pianist.
The foreign pianists might be famous, but in the country, their fame and status were incomparable to Nie Mi’s.
She had successfully become a top student at Qing University and was personally led by the leading brain surgeon in the country, Liang Lu.
If she could successfully become Nie Mi’s disciple, her status in the circle would only rise and become more different.
What she wanted was not just to learn the piano. It was more about the people and benefits involved in learning the piano. These things couldn’t be compensated with just fame!
