Chapter 425 Why choose her?
In everyone's expectant eyes, Xia Qingying walked over slowly. Huo Xiaoling hurried over and was about to raise her hand to help her, but Xia Qingying waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary.
Ever since she knew that Xia Qingying was pregnant, Huo Xiaoling has been very attentive to Xia Qingying, often bringing her some fruits or snacks, and sometimes even taking the initiative to massage her shoulders and legs.
Xia Qingying knew her purpose of showing kindness to herself, so she basically rejected her "kindness".
She also explained to her that she is a teacher now, and will treat every student equally and teach them everything she knows. She just needs to focus on practicing the piano and there is no need for her to deliberately show kindness to herself.
But Huo Xiaoling was too smart. Even though she spoke so bluntly, she always acted closer to herself in front of Hao Aihua and Xu Duoduo, and even deliberately made them think that she favored her more.
After Xia Qingling sat down, she said to the three people:
"You all should know that I went to discuss the candidates for the New Year's cultural performance with Director Mu. I also know that everyone wants to have the opportunity to perform in this performance."
At this point, she clearly felt that everyone was looking at her with tension and expectation. She paused for a moment and said,
"But there is only one spot. We only choose students who have performed better at this stage. Not being selected does not mean that we deny you. There will be many opportunities in the future. As long as everyone works hard to practice their basic skills, they will get corresponding rewards sooner or later."
Xia Qingling knew that those who were not selected would definitely feel a psychological gap, so she encouraged everyone in advance and prepared them mentally.
In everyone's expectant eyes, Xia Qingying announced the candidates for the cultural performance:
"Hao Aihua, you will be the chief pianist of the vocal group in this cultural performance."
As soon as Xia Qingying finished speaking, Huo Xiaoling's face changed instantly. She tried hard to control her emotions, but she was still too young to keep her face expressionless, and her face was full of disappointment and anger.
On the other hand, Xu Duoduo, who was also not selected, was much calmer, at least her face did not droop like hers.
When Hao Aihua heard Xia Qingling call out her name, although she was very happy, she remained calm and did not get too excited. She stood up straight and said to Xia Qingling:
"Thank you for the trust of the group and Teacher Xia. I will work hard to complete this task and live up to the expectations of the group."
"Why her?" Huo Xiaoling finally couldn't help but blurt out the question.
After noticing that Xia Qingxing looked unhappy, Huo Xiaoling realized that her words were too radical and tried to make amends:
"Why her?"
"Because she is the most stable one among the three of you." Xia Qingxing looked at Huo Xiaoling, her tone was unusually stiff:
"Strictly speaking, now none of you have reached the standard to be an independent performer. For this performance, we don't ask for excellence, but for perfection. So at this stage, Hao Aihua is the most suitable candidate."
After hearing what Xia Qingxing said, Huo Xiaoling was obviously still a little dissatisfied. She felt that she was not much worse than Hao Aihua, and she was usually "caring" for Xia Qingxing, they were all the same, so why couldn't she give this spot to herself?
They used to live in the same dormitory, so they had some feelings for each other. Moreover, her family was not as well off as the other two, so she needed this opportunity more. So in her opinion, Xia Qingling should give this opportunity to herself both publicly and privately.
"If you think this decision is biased, you can also compare it with Comrade Hao Aihua. I can ask the vocal group teachers to come and comment together." Xia Qingling looked at Huo Xiaoling and said in a serious tone.
"I accept Teacher Xia's selection method." Hao Aihua said hurriedly.
Just now, Huo Xiaoling stood up and asked why she was chosen. Hao Aihua felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable. When she heard Teacher Xia's proposal, she immediately agreed.
When Huo Xiaoling heard this, she obviously felt a little lacking in confidence. In fact, she herself knew that if they really compared them, Hao Aihua was indeed a little better at playing the piano than her.
At this time, Xu Duoduo, who was standing aside, also spoke up to express her agreement:
"I also think that Aihua should be chosen." As she spoke, she looked at Huo Xiaoling and analyzed seriously:
"If I go, I may play wrong, and if you go, you may not be able to keep up with the tune. If something really goes wrong in such a big concert, how will others view our piano group?
After all, this is the first time on stage. There will not only be a lot of audiences, but also the contestants who were eliminated before are watching us. If we perform well, our entire group will have face. If we don't perform well, not only will we feel embarrassed, but Teacher Xia will also be implicated."
The words were made so clear. If Huo Xiaoling had a little more discernment, she would know that it was best to choose Hao Aihua, but she didn't listen to everyone and even felt that everyone was targeting her and isolating her.
"Oh, I see." Although she was very unhappy, Huo Xiaoling knew that she couldn't change now, so she had to bury her anger in her heart and said reluctantly,
"Then let Sister Aihua perform."
Xia Qingli knew that Huo Xiaoling was angry, but she didn't continue to dwell on the issue, nor did she comfort her or help her vent her emotions.
In her opinion, Huo Xiaoling was born sensitive and inferior, and she was stubborn and didn't listen to other people's advice at all. Even if she said it, it wouldn't have much effect.
"Then it's settled. Hao Aihua, you have to practice harder recently and don't let everyone down." Xia Qingling said, and then announced another thing:
"In a few days, there will be a new piano teacher in the group. We may take turns to teach everyone in the future. Let's inform everyone in advance.
Everyone was surprised to hear that she was going to have a new teacher, after all, we hadn't heard any rumors before.
However, the arrival of the new teacher, although unexpected, is also reasonable. After all, Teacher Xia is going to have a baby soon, and someone will have to be found to continue teaching everyone on her behalf.
Hearing that a new teacher is coming, Huo Xiaoling is the happiest among the three.
