"It’s impossible!" Shao Xinxin’s inner anger was suddenly ignited by these words. She absolutely couldn’t lose to Qin Sui’an!
"Mr. Gu, I think it’s this electronic piano that affected my performance. If you let me use a Steinway piano, I’ll definitely play a hundred times better than just now!"
Shao Xinxin insisted, blaming the piano.
"Even if you had a Steinway piano, you still wouldn’t be better than her."
Gu Maowen saw that she was not giving up and sneered, continuing, "Arrogant and overconfident, people need to learn to look for problems within themselves, rather than attributing all misfortune, setbacks, and failures to external factors."
Shao Xinxin’s face instantly became embarrassed and ugly. "You..."
Just then, Ji Yi’s phone suddenly rang, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Ji Yi took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID. Before answering, he patted Gu Maowen on the shoulder. "Don’t be angry. The person you’re looking for is right here."
"What do you mean?" Gu Maowen paused, looking at his phone screen, where he saw the caller ID "Old Qin".
Such a familiar surname, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Oh, it seemed to be a friend of Old Ji’s.
But Ji Yi didn’t answer his confusion, just smiled mysteriously and then pressed the answer button. "Hello, Old Qin..."
"Old Ji, can you contact your old classmate? My granddaughter really likes him! Ask this Master Gu Maowen when he’s available? Let’s meet with our Ann."
"Hahaha... How could someone I recommend be bad!" Ji Yi proudly lifted his chin and then said, "Where are you? I’ll bring him over to see you."
"How can that be?" Old Master Qin, with the mindset of finding a good master for his granddaughter, politely said, "You should bring us to see this Master Gu Maowen."
Ji Yi turned to look at Gu Maowen. "He’s more eager to see Ann than you are. Don’t worry!"
"Why can’t I understand..." Old Master Qin felt like something was being deliberately concealed by Ji Yi. "We are the ones who are asking for a favor. How can we let he come to us?"
"This is a long story." Ji Yi thought for a moment. "How about this, you come to the backstage here."
After the call ended, Ji Yi turned to instruct Gu Maowen’s assistant, "Quickly go to VIP Box 01 and bring Old Master Qin, Old Madam Qin, and their granddaughter Ann over here."
The assistant looked at Gu Maowen.
Gu Maowen, having gleaned some information from Ji Yi’s words, waved excitedly. "Go, go! Don’t let my apprentice wait too long!"
Hearing his words, Ji Yi felt both sour and envious. "What apprentice of yours! Ann hasn’t even said she wants to be your apprentice yet!"
Gu Maowen glared at him. "You’ve been hiding my apprentice for so long, I haven’t settled the score with you yet!"
Clearly, she was a familiar acquaintance’s granddaughter, but she never mentioned it to him! It made it so hard for him to find her!
Unable to wait, Gu Maowen paced back and forth at the lounge door. "It’s so far from here to the VIP box! Shouldn’t I go meet them instead?"
Ji Yi hurriedly grabbed him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Gu Maowen’s brow slowly furrowed, then he nodded solemnly. "You’re right. You’ve thought it through."
He no longer thought about going to the VIP box to meet his future apprentice, just nervously and eagerly looked towards the corner ahead, waiting for the arrival of his future apprentice.
Ji Yi turned to look at Shao Xinxin, who was still standing in place. "Do you have anything else?"
Shao Xinxin pursed her lips and, after a while, said, "Old Mr. Ji, I want to see who Mr. Gu is looking for."
"I thought you already knew," Ji Yi pretended to be surprised.
"I..." Shao Xinxin suddenly reddened her eyes, lowered her head, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
Gu Maowen impatiently waved his hand. "Okay, okay, if you don’t want to leave, forget it. I don’t want people to think I’m bullying you."
Shao Xinxin had thicker skin than the average person. After being said so, she really didn’t leave.
She wanted to see if Qin Sui’an could compare to her!
A few minutes later, the assistant appeared at the corner ahead, followed by Old Madam Qin and Old Master Qin, holding little Ann in his arms.
Ji Yi and Gu Maowen both went up to greet them.
Ji Yi was the first to speak, staring at Old Master Qin who was walking briskly. "Oh my, Old Qin, what happened to your leg? What’s going on? Your leg is healed?"
"Just recovered recently." Old Master Qin walked proudly towards them, smiling, "I’ve had a check-up at the hospital, and I don’t need crutches anymore."
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Ji Yi genuinely felt happy for him. "Your Qin family has been having good luck recently!"
Since their little one returned home, it seemed like the Qin family’s luck had turned around.
Gu Maowen had occasionally heard Ji Yi mention the Qin family’s affairs, and he had also heard of the famous and prestigious Qin family.
He went up to greet the two elders politely, "Old Madam Qin, Old Master Qin, nice to meet you. I’m Gu Maowen."
Old Madam Qin smiled, "Mr. Gu, I’ve heard of your great reputation. Nice to meet you."
Old Master Qin also responded politely, "Mr. Gu, we came to see you suddenly. I hope we didn’t take up too much of your time?"
"No, not at all! Absolutely not!" Gu Maowen shook his head repeatedly.
Old Master Qin introduced, "This is my granddaughter, Qin Sui’an."
Only then did Gu Maowen dare to look at the little one in Old Master Qin’s arms.
The little one was adorable, with round big eyes blinking curiously, looking at him. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Gu Maowen’s intuition told him that this little one was definitely the person he was looking for!
No wonder the music played by little one was so beautiful and touching. Just looking at little one like this, Gu Maowen felt that his eyes had been extraordinarily purified.
Gu Maowen couldn’t help but lower his voice, afraid of startling the little one, "Hello, Ann, I’m Gu Maowen."
Sui’an felt his kindness and her round eyes curved, "Grandpa Gu, hello~"
Old Master Qin put his granddaughter down and let her and Gu Maowen briefly get to know each other.
Ji Yi took the opportunity to quietly mention to Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin about Gu Maowen’s recent search for Ann, the little one, and his intention to take her as his apprentice.
Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin looked at each other in surprise.
Because the video online was so popular, both media reporters and private individuals wanted to find out who the little one playing the piano in the video was.
Considering that little one was still young and didn’t want to be influenced by the outside world, the Qin family had completely blocked any information about little one.
Unexpectedly, among those inquiring about little one, there was also Gu Maowen, the piano master.
