The students of Gu Family Academy were all discussing the challenge between Yi Wei and Gu Heng's group, and guessing who had a greater chance of winning.

"Yi Wei is competing alone against Gu Heng in a group? Isn't this a bit unfair?"

"There is indeed an imbalance in numbers, but Yi Wei has the upper hand in terms of strength."

"That's right. Yi Wei ranked first in the last assessment. Even if Gu Heng asked the best people in his group to compete with Yi Wei, none of them would be stronger than Yi Wei."

"I also think Yi Wei has a greater chance of winning."

"But I heard that Yi Wei has not attended any other classes except psychology in the past two months. He has even rarely attended the art and shooting classes he has reserved, and he has never attended piano class. So he might fail."

"It's only been a little over a month, and more than one teacher has said that Yi Wei is a genius. Geniuses are unreasonably strong, so I think Yi Wei will definitely win."

"Come to think of it, Yi Wei is about to change his major, and has been preparing for it for more than a month. Why can he continue to be Director Gu's assistant?"

"Maybe it's because even if we start preparing now, we still have to wait until next spring to take the entrance exam. And since we've already chosen him, why not just let him serve until the end of the vacation?"

"But when I think about it carefully, there are still many things I can't figure out."

After the first morning exam, Yi Wei had lunch in the restaurant and then rested in the lobby, waiting for the piano test in the afternoon.

After Sun Qi sat down, he glanced at the cup in front of Yi Wei and said, "You drank milk after dinner? Didn't you drink tea before?"

"I've been lacking calcium lately, so I drink milk to supplement it." Yi Wei made up an excuse.

Sun Qi looked at him with an expression of incomprehension. Then, a notification sound rang from his and Yi Wei's cell phones. Sun Qi took out his cell phone as quickly as possible and clicked on the screen. After opening the Family Education Inquiry Network, he stared at the screen intently with his eyes wide open.

"First...first place!" Sun Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "You are really amazing. You haven't taken any classes other than psychology for more than a month, but you still managed to get first place!"

Yi Wei took out his phone slowly and took a look at it. Then he stood up and walked to the front of Gu Heng's group. He looked at Gu Heng and said, "I won the first game."

"Congratulations." Gu Heng looked calm, but he was very unwilling in his heart. Although he had not attended classes at home for more than a month, he had teachers go to his home for intensive tutoring, but he still failed to pass the exam better than Yi Wei, who had not taken professional courses for more than a month.

"For the piano test this afternoon, I hope your group can work harder, otherwise I won't have any sense of accomplishment from winning." Yi Wei looked at those people with contempt, then walked back to where he had just sat down. He came here on purpose to provoke them and to annoy them at the same time.

The people in Gu Heng's group were furious when they saw Yi Wei's contemptuous look, especially He Mingshu. If he hadn't wanted to avoid exposing Gu Heng's plan in advance, he would have rushed over and humiliated Yi Wei severely. However, he felt that his patience was worth it now. After Yi Wei lost and had to rejoin their group and listen to Gu Heng's arrangements, he would be able to humiliate him to his heart's content.

After the lunch break, students majoring in piano will take the test first, and then it will be the turn of students taking elective piano lessons.

Because the other students were very curious about who would win between Yi Wei and Gu Yueshan, all the students who had time came to the small concert hall to watch.

Yi Wei drew number three. When the assessment began, Gu Heng deliberately brought people to sit next to Yi Wei.

The student who drew number one walked up to the stage to prepare for the performance. Gu Heng said to Yi Wei, "This is a newcomer to our group. Let him compete with you in this piano test."

"A new member of the group?" Yi Wei deliberately frowned and asked, "Isn't it time for new members to choose to join the group yet?"

"Just like you applied to withdraw from my group in advance, I also added a freshman in advance this time and let him take part in this assessment." Gu Heng said with a smile.

"Humph." Yi Wei sneered, "It's just a trick I left over. Do you think you can beat me like this?"

"I hope you can keep this confident thought till the end." The look in Gu Heng's eyes was as if he had already won.

The deputy supervisor of the family school was a supporter of Gu Heng. He helped the new student to complete the formalities in advance. And because he had Gu Heng's grandmother as a backer, he often ignored even the chief supervisor.

Student No. 1 has already started to perform. Most of the students here have learned piano or violin when they were young. Even those students who only know a little can hear that No. 1 plays very well and has reached the level to participate in competitions.

Yi Wei knew that this high school student was indeed quite talented. Although he majored in violin, he had also won many awards for piano. This was a special arrangement by Gu Heng to deal with him. Yi Wei had lost to him in his previous life, and this time Yi Wei had already prepared for a counterattack, but for the time being he still had to pretend to be completely unaware.

After Student No. 1 finished his performance, the six teachers all showed satisfied expressions and had already started planning in their minds to send him to participate in the competition.

Because it was just a small assessment of students within the school and not a formal competition, after the performance, several teachers immediately gave comments, guidance and scores, and Student No. 1 received very high evaluations and scores.

Gu Heng turned to look at Yi Wei, who looked grim, and said, "How is your self-confidence? I hope you haven't suffered too much of a blow."

"You set me up on purpose." Yi Wei turned around and looked at Gu Heng fiercely.

"How can this be a design?" Gu Heng's eyes were filled with a look of smugness that was difficult to conceal: "Isn't this just the leftovers you have? Besides, she is just a high school student now, and she is not majoring in piano. You are not at a disadvantage, right?"

Even though Number One is not a piano major and is younger than Yi Wei, he is an art student and has spent much more time practicing piano than Yi Wei. Gu Heng's claim of not suffering a loss is nothing but specious talk.

Under the smug looks of Gu Heng's group, Yi Wei stood up with a grim look on his face and left the audience, going backstage to concentrate on preparing for the performance later.

Those students who came to watch the competition between Yi Wei and Gu Heng discussed it in a very low voice with the people sitting next to them.

"Looking at this situation, Yi Wei might lose."

"Yi Wei's face looked so grim just now. He must have felt that he was going to lose."

"I've never seen that No. 1 before. He's not majoring in piano but he's so good. Who is he?"

"That number one is still a high school student. He is a violin genius and quite famous. He also plays the piano very well."

"High school students?! Isn't it the time for high school students to choose to join the group yet?"

"It seems that Gu Heng made special arrangements to deal with Yi Wei. No wonder Gu Heng challenged Yi Wei. It turns out that he had been prepared for a long time."

"It seems that Yi Wei is going to join Gu Heng's group again. I wonder how Gu Heng will treat him."

"I'm sure he won't have an easy time."

Student No. 2 finished his performance without anyone in the audience listening carefully, and then everyone waited earnestly for Yi Wei to go on stage to perform.

Watching Yi Wei walk out from the backstage, He Mingshu smiled sinisterly and said, "I'm just waiting to see what expression he'll have after he loses. This is just the beginning."

Yi Wei sat down in front of the piano, concentrated for a few seconds, and then began to play.

The piece "Fun of Wind" that Student No. 1 just played is a very light and cheerful piano piece, while the piece "Toy House" played by Yi Wei has a lively and colorful feeling and is more difficult.

This was Yi Wei's favorite and most practiced piece when he was a child, and in the past month or so, he would secretly practice it whenever he had time. After his adoptive mother returned to China, he asked her to help him contact his former piano teacher, the creator of "Toy House" himself, to guide him again through video.

Yi Wei temporarily forgot about the competition with Gu Heng's group, and temporarily forgot about the sadness and anger of his previous life, and immersed himself completely in the context of the song. He had also had such happy times, so he knew what that felt like.

While Yi Wei was playing, the smug look on Gu Heng's face disappeared, and his expression became increasingly ugly, and the other people in their group were the same.

After finishing playing, Yi Wei took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. After a pleasant journey in his imagination, he walked out of the toy house, closed the door, and returned to reality.

Yi Wei turned his head and looked at the audience. The teachers and students in the audience were all stunned. No one had expected Yi Wei to be able to achieve this level. Even the piano teacher who had taught Yi Wei before had not expected that he could perform such a dazzling and difficult technique.

"Yi Wei is too good, isn't he?! With this level of ability, he should be taking the assessment for piano majors. No, he should be taking part in competitions!"

“The performance was so strong that I couldn’t help but feel excited and happy.”

"If it were me, my fingers would probably have gotten tangled."

"Since he can maintain such a good condition till the end, Yi Wei is sure to win."

"With such a clear gap, he must have won."

Gu Heng clenched his fists tightly. Although he had bribed half of the piano teachers, with such an obvious gap, if the teachers he bribed gave Yi Wei too low a score, then the fact that he bribed them would be directly exposed.

Yi Wei stood up and walked forward, waiting for comments, guidance and grading from the teachers.

The three teachers who were not bribed by Gu Heng quickly gave scores and gave Yi Wei high praise, especially the teacher who had taught Yi Wei before. He praised Yi Wei in various ways and felt extremely sorry that Yi Wei was not a student majoring in piano. With such talent and ability, it was a pity for him not to participate in the competition.

The three teachers bribed by Gu Heng have been slow to give scores and evaluations. If Yi Wei and Student No. 1 were equally matched, they could have lowered the scores appropriately to make Yi Wei lose to Student No. 1. But Yi Wei played the piano so well that they couldn't get much points even if they wanted to. In this case, Yi Wei would definitely win, and they took Gu Heng's benefits but didn't complete his task. Gu Heng would not let them go easily.

After some deliberation, two of the bribed teachers gave the student a score of 8 and 8.2 respectively, with the reason being that although the student played well, there was still room for improvement.

The other three teachers who gave 9.5 and two 9.6 respectively looked at them with puzzled and incomprehensible eyes. This was just an internal test of the family school, not a high-level international competition. It was too strange to give such low scores, right? Moreover, the score was lower than that of Student No. 1, which could be said to be too deliberate.

The last teacher who had not yet given a score was extremely nervous. Now all the pressure was on him alone. As long as he gave a score higher than 8, Yi Wei would win, and they would not have completed Gu Heng's task. But if they gave an unreasonable score below 8, they would be completely exposed.

The last teacher clenched his fists tightly, feeling conflicted.
