The only person that comes to mind when thinking of the surname Wei is Master Wei.
Qin Yu was stunned after hearing Lin Wan's reminder.
Wei Zihang's surname is indeed Wei, but——
"That guy is a well-known gangster around our school," Qin Yu retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Wan, "He is good at fighting and everyone around the school is afraid of him."
How could such a person be related to Master Wei?
"Really?" Lin Wan paused. Her temperament didn't seem like that of a gangster.
Qin Yu didn't want Lin Wan to pay too much attention to Qin Ran. "He's the school bully. He used to be in the vocational high school next door. He and that group of students got together and did everything. Now he's in the sports class of No. 1 Middle School."
Lin Wan nodded and finally looked away.
"But mom, shouldn't my sister be in school now?" Qin Yu sorted out the two tickets, tilted her head, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here, and with someone like Wei Zihang?"
Lin Wan sneered again.
...
...
Ning Qing pursed her lips. She had originally wanted to find Qin Ran to ask her what was going on, but when she heard this, she stopped abruptly.
The two checked their tickets and went in.
Qin Yu looked towards Qin Ran and frowned slightly.
It didn't take long before Xu Yaoguang arrived.
"I have something to do," Xu Yaoguang said, wearing a black mask and a black baseball jacket, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. "Have you been waiting for a long time."
Qin Yu held the violin and said it was okay.
The two checked their tickets and went in.
Qin Yu glanced at the direction of the small door again. Qin Ran and Wei Zihang were gone, which was a bit strange.
Xu Yaoguang's ticket was at the edge of Ning Qing's group. He was wearing a mask and looked like he wanted to keep strangers away.
Ning Qing recognized him and nodded at him.
When he saw her, Xu Yaoguang paused, then called out "Aunt Ning".
There was a rare respect in his tone.
Ning Qing was slightly stunned. Qin Yu had told her more than once that Xu Yaoguang was the top student in the school, and she had a deep memory of him.
The other person is a bit aloof and doesn't talk much on weekdays. I didn't expect his attitude to be so nice today?
Xu Yaoguang was respectful to Ning Qingting, but he was much more casual with Lin Wan and just called her casually.
Lin Wan just glanced at him indifferently, without responding or answering.
Not long after, the phone in Xu Yaoguang's pocket rang. He reached out and pulled his mask: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Qin Yu stood up and wanted to tell him that the bathroom was outside and that he couldn't go to the backstage bathroom, but she saw Xu Yaoguang just walked away.
Qin Yu didn't care much about him after all, so she sat back without thinking too much.

Here, Qin Ran and Wei Zihang went directly to the backstage. The small door here was a special passage for staff.
Wei Zihang is very familiar with this place.
When the two of them went in, several music masters backstage were trying out their hands.
"I heard from the organizer that there will be a newcomer who will perform quite well in the individual performances after this show." The speaker was a middle-aged man. He was the runner-up after Wei Lin this time, Dai Ran.
Anyone who can climb to the second place is not an easy person.
Especially this kind of large-scale high-end streaming concert.
The others nodded, "She's a girl, her talent and spirituality are both acceptable, but she came here for Master Wei."
"Who isn't here for Master Wei?" someone laughed.
Dai Ran stood aside, his expression cold, and said nothing.
He is not as old as Master Wei, and his family background and achievements are not bad, but in this industry, he is always suppressed by Wei Lin.
Realizing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, everyone else shut their mouths and dared not say anything.
“Zihang, are you here to see your grandfather?” When the atmosphere was silent, Wei Zihang brought Qin Ran in. Several teachers pointed in the direction of the front and said, “He is tuning the instruments inside.”
"Thank you." Wei Zihang smiled good-naturedly.
The others waved their hands and looked at the girl next to him.
The girl looked unfamiliar, and judging by her casual attire, she didn't look like she was participating in the individual competition tonight.
Could it be Wei Zihang’s girlfriend?
Everyone in the circle knows that Master Wei's grandson was kidnapped when he was a child. He is a playboy by nature and has been living in the countryside ever since. He is not willing to go back to the capital to go to school and is a playboy by nature.
Hearing the sound, Master Wei in the room came out with a violin in his hand.
"Ran Ran, you are here," Master Wei said with a rosy face, looking very happy, "Come in first."
He moved aside and let the two of them enter his lounge first.
Judging from his attitude, he treats that girl much better than Wei Zihang.
“Master Wei, this is…” Someone looked at Qin Ran with a smile.
There have always been rumors in the circle that Master Wei has a favorite disciple, and it’s a girl.
But those who know the situation are somewhat skeptical.
Because for such a long time no one has been found to have any female apprentice around Master Wei. If he really has a disciple he likes, then her status will be higher than that of an ordinary violinist. Wouldn't it be known to everyone?
"Youngsters from the family, come and watch my performance." Master Wei spoke in a gentle voice, unhurried and unhurried, without any emotion being discernible.
No one else doubted it.

inside the house.
Master Wei turned on the monitoring station inside and could see the stage and the audience seats.
"How about this performance hall?" Master Wei stood in the middle of the room, pointing at the magnificent performance hall on TV. "Only those who can step onto this stage are recognized by the industry."
This performance hall was formerly used by the royal family, and the requirements for its opening are extremely strict.
The goal of every musician is to hold a personal concert here.
Qin Ran dragged a chair over, propped up the back of the chair with one hand and held a cup with the other. She squinted her eyes, her eyelashes were very long and drooped slightly, looking uninhibited and casual.
Looking at the page on TV lazily.
It seemed that he was not ignited by Master Wei's surging passion.
Wei Zihang was half leaning on the table, looking down at his phone, seemingly texting someone.
Master Wei paused, then stretched out his right hand and slapped Wei Zihang on the head fiercely: "What on earth are you doing here? Are you here to watch my performance?"
Wei Zihang: “…”
"Yes," Wei Zihang raised his head, put away his phone, and sighed tiredly, "I was wrong. I should have watched your performance seriously and devoutly."
Completely convinced.
“Ah, Sister Ran,” Wei Zihang put his phone back into his pocket, tilted his head to look at Qin Ran’s expression, then stood up, threw Master Wei’s violin to Qin Ran, and squinted his eyes. “Try it?”
Qin Ran looked at the violin in his hand for a moment, still looking quite carefree.
After a long while, she raised her hand and put the cup on the table.
Take the violin.
Qin Ran lowered her head and closed her eyes slightly.
**
Xu Yaoguang walked to the backstage with some familiarity.
He pulled down his mask.
Dai Ran was coming out from inside, sorting out his clothes. When he saw him, he was startled: "Young Master Xu?"
The Xu family is a big family, and Old Man Xu is well-known in Beijing. Everyone in this circle knows their boundaries and remembers clearly who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.
"Teacher Dai." Xu Yaoguang liked the violin, and whenever there was a large-scale performance, the people here would reserve a ticket for him.
The Dai family also has some interactions with the Xu family.
Dai Ran wanted to talk more with Xu Yaoguang, but the performance was about to start, so he didn't stay any longer and went to the waiting area in advance.
Xu Yaoguang did not go into the bathroom, but just made a phone call in the backstage corridor.
After finishing the call and about to leave, I heard faint violin sounds coming from the lounge.
The outer strings are sonorous, the inner strings are low and gentle, layer by layer, almost forcefully cutting open the heart and striking the soul.
This kind of music is a hearty feast.
I don’t know how long it lasted, but it was enough to immerse myself in it.
Xu Yaoguang was still wearing the mask, wandering around the lounge with a sharp gaze.
Soon, the door at the end of the corridor opened and the members of the music group rushed in. "Everyone, hurry up, Teacher Dai is waiting!"
"Don't forget the instrument in everyone's hand."
The opening is an ensemble piece.
Including the music group there are almost a hundred people.
The noisy footsteps interrupted Xu Yaoguang's thoughts.
He stood there looking at a lounge for a long while, recognized it as Master Wei's, thought about it, and decided to leave first.
If I remember correctly, there is monitoring in the background.
Xu Yaoguang returned to his seat, and Qin Yu was a little surprised.
The bathroom was still outside, and it would take at least fifteen minutes to go there and back. Xu Yaoguang came back in less than ten minutes.
But the show was about to start, so Qin Yu didn't say much.
Their seats were in the middle, and there were four separate rows of VIP seats at the front, which were reserved for some distinguished guests and masters who were going to perform solos on stage.
The overhead lights dimmed instantly and the opening ensemble began.
**
Except for some people who just wanted to pretend to be cultured, the others who came to the concert were all knowledgeable people in the industry.
The soloists this time were all at the master level. Even some pretentious people got goose bumps listening to them, and experienced both joy and sorrow, and all five flavors of life.
Especially at the end, Master Wei’s finale performance.
He almost used the best skills of his life.
Whether it is changing positions, double strings, plucking harmonics, or split bow and jumping bow, he is adept at all of these and uses them to perfection.
These skills cannot be described only as talent; the most important thing is persistent practice of the skills.
It is not without reason that Wei Lin is called a great figure in the history of violin. His rigor and reverence for the violin are beyond everyone's imagination. Over the years, he has performed almost thousands of times without making any mistakes.
Only true violin masters can understand his greatness.
There is a huge difference between a hall-level master and an ordinary-level mentor.
It can be seen from the fact that after Wei Lin finished playing for 20 minutes, the whole audience was silent for one minute and then burst into thunderous applause.
Qin Ran sat on the far left of the first row. After listening, she rubbed her face and took a deep breath.
The two teachers next to me were still discussing it.
"Master Wei's performance this time is comparable to the peak moment of Country Y last time. After listening to Master Wei, I think I might as well go home and farm."
The show ended and everyone left one after another.
Qin Ran pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt.
Exit from the other side.
"There are two new students, recommended by the organizer this time," Wei Zihang followed behind Qin Ran and said in a low voice, "Let's wait a little longer."
“Yeah.” Qin Ran lowered her head slightly. It was unknown what she was thinking, and her reaction was quite slow.
The two of them still went out through the small door.
**
In the performance hall, almost everyone had left.
Ning Qing, Lin Wan and others were left alone. Besides them, there was another boy and his family.
"Look, Yu'er is going to perform there soon." Ning Qing sent the video directly to Ning Wei, her voice filled with suppressed excitement.
Hearing the sound, Mu Ying, who had been doing homework nearby, couldn't help but look over here.
She had been sulking for the past few days, and neither Ning Wei nor Mu Nan had taken the initiative to talk to her, but now she took the initiative to come over.
The video is not of the last rehearsal, but of the concert. Both the lighting and special effects are incomparable to the last scene.
"The stage is so beautiful," Mu Ying couldn't help but speak, paused, and asked, "Aunt, is my second cousin going to go on stage?"
"It's almost time. Once that boy finishes, it will be your second cousin's turn." Ning Qing has always been proud of Qin Yu. Now that she finally has hope, she can hardly contain herself.
Lin Wan, who was standing next to her, came out with a mirror and reapplied her lipstick. She glanced at him with contempt in her eyes.
It seems as if he has never seen the world.
The first person to go on stage was a boy.
Those who are chosen by the organizers are obviously well qualified.
He was probably about fifteen or sixteen years old, not very old, and his violin playing was more technical, but his spirituality was not as outstanding as his skills.
But he is obviously a top-notch talent.
The teachers in the group all praised it highly, but Master Wei was the only one who sat on his own stool, holding a cup. Having seen a lot of things, he said slowly, "Not bad."
The fact that Wei Lin praised him showed that the boy was indeed good.
Several teachers have already thought about it.
"The next one is a girl named Qin Yu," the teacher who spoke had obviously done her homework, "a girl that the organizer strongly recommended. They said Master Wei, you will definitely like her."
Also surname Qin?
Still think you'll like it?
Master Wei raised his eyebrows, showing a little more curiosity.
Qin Yu came on stage, holding the violin.
In less than ten seconds, Master Wei seemed to hear something. He threw the cup in his hand on the table, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Qin Yu coldly.
