Chapter 183 Brother Qingyu, please come and pick me up.
After both teachers finished playing their pieces, it was their turn to come forward and perform, and the teachers would correct any mistakes.
Tyr first looked at Jiang Xingyao: "Miss Qu is a guest from afar, so please come first."
This Tyre clearly wanted to probe her background, and Jiang Xingyao did not refuse. Before she came, Madam Rongyue had already given her instructions.
She came here mainly to learn composition. As for playing the piano, she should just be at a decent level for now. Nelia's level is not as good as hers in this area, and there is no need for them to reveal their true abilities to each other right away.
So Jiang Xingyao specially chose a piece that wasn't too difficult, and it was perfectly standard from beginning to end, without making any mistakes or standing out.
Nilia, of course, didn't find anything wrong with her. In the end, she just praised Jiang Xingyao for her good mentality, steady hands and even more steady mind.
Madam Rongyue said, "You should know the level of your own students. Here's what we'll do: you take Weiyi to discuss the music first, and leave this to me."
Nelia herself felt the same way; she was eager for Lady Rongyue to stay and give Tyr some guidance.
After giving her three students a few instructions, she took Jiang Xingyao directly to the room inside.
Jiang Xingyao showed her all her previous pieces one by one, and Nilia was able to point out the problems quickly. Although sometimes her words were ambiguous and she was obviously trying to hide her shortcomings, Jiang Xingyao could quickly find the problem as long as someone pointed it out, but she did not show it.
Those who have reached Nilia's position are naturally all cunning and experienced. Lady Rongyue had obviously anticipated that Nilia would not teach seriously, so she had instructed Jiang Xingyao in advance to learn as much as she could after arriving, and most importantly, to ask Nilia for her old notes.
Lady Rongyue said that Nilia is a very arrogant person, and she would definitely give her her early notes, which are very different in style from her current ones.
Jiang Xingyao tentatively brought it up a couple of times, and sure enough, Nilia immediately took out her early notes and said, "These things are just scraps of paper to me now. Looking back at them now, I think my ideas back then were naive. If you really want them, just take them. They're not important anyway."
Jiang Xingyao flipped through it briefly. It was indeed a jumble of notes that were neither melodies nor tunes. Perhaps she could learn something from studying them carefully. Jiang Xingyao herself wasn't quite sure at the moment.
When the two came out of the room, Lady Rongyue was still instructing several of Nilia's students on playing the piano, and Fila was the one constantly asking Lady Rongyue questions.
Tyr wanted to join in, but every time he opened his mouth, he was eagerly interrupted by Fila.
Lady Rongyue was doing her best to solve Fila's problem, but Nelia's face had darkened, and she called out, "Fila, come here for a moment."
Fila seemed a little reluctant, but she eventually came to Nelia's side. Only then did Tyr have a chance to come over and ask questions.
Lady Rongyue checked the time and said to Nilia, "We agreed on three hours, and now it's almost time, I have to go back."
These things had been discussed in advance, so even if Nelia was unhappy, there was nothing she could say at the moment.
They could only see Madam Rongyue out first, and then tentatively asked if they could continue their conversation next time.
Lady Rongyue did not give a definite answer.
When Nelia returned to the studio, her expression turned cold as she looked at Fila: "Fila, do you know what you're doing?"
Fila said, "I'm sorry, teacher. That teacher Rongyue is very knowledgeable. I got excited and couldn't control myself."
She bowed her head and apologized, but Nelia's expression remained unchanged: "Do you know how important this opportunity is to Tyre?"
Fila was not just unable to contain herself and had a rebellious streak, or perhaps her pent-up emotions suddenly erupted. She said, "Teacher, we are all your students. Why do you have to be so biased towards one another?"
Yes, Tyler is going to participate in the competition, but we are no worse than him. There's no reason why he can learn from Teacher Rongyue but we can't.
"How many times have you tutored him privately before? Now that Teacher Rongyue is here, I'm just asking a question, and you're unwilling to help me? Why should I?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Eri pulled Fila aside, trying to make her shut up, but Fila continued to stare stubbornly at Nelia.
Throughout this dispute that arose because of Tyre, Tyre remained aloof.
In the end, the matter ended with Fila giving in. Nelia made Fila apologize and then took Tyr aside to teach him.
Fila leaned against the wall, watching all this, tears streaming down her face, her eyes still filled with a stubbornness.
Ereid said, "Phila, these are all arrangements made by the teacher, so don't be so stubborn."
Fila snorted coldly, wiped her eyes, and ran out.
Jiang Xingyao and Madam Rongyue did not return to the hotel immediately. Instead, they found a convenience store nearby, bought some food, and were queuing to pay when the store opened. Fila rushed in and bought a bunch of beer as revenge.
They weren't very familiar with each other, and Jiang Xingyao hadn't intended to greet them first. However, Fila happened to be standing behind them and recognized Madam Rongyue. She was a little surprised: "Teacher Rongyue, you haven't left yet? You haven't finished explaining my question. Could I…?"
Her eyes were still red, but that didn't dampen her enthusiasm.
Madam Rongyue glanced at the armful of wine in her hands: "What's wrong with you? Why did you buy so much wine?"
Fila's face showed strong dissatisfaction again. She didn't hide anything and recounted everything that had happened in the studio before asking Madam Rongyue's question again.
Fila may seem difficult to get along with, but she is actually incredibly sincere when it comes to music. After paying the bill, Madam Rongyue paused for a moment to finish explaining the question Fila had asked.
After Fila left, Lady Rongyue was still lamenting, "She's a diligent and promising talent, it's a pity that Nelia can't see it."
Jiang Xingyao casually inquired about Tyre's situation, and Madam Rongyue shook her head slightly: "He's impetuous and his mind isn't entirely on music. He's not as good as this Fila."
When Fila was mentioned, Madam Rongyue's words carried a hint of regret. Jiang Xingyao knew that she had developed a love for talent, but unfortunately Fila was Nilia's apprentice, so even if she taught her, she couldn't give it her all.
Not long after the two returned to the hotel, Nilia actually came to visit them in person. She wanted to invite Madam Rongyue to her studio for another two days to exchange ideas, and she also promised to teach Jiang Xingyao everything she knew.
Madam Rongyue did not agree immediately. Over the next two days, Nilia frequently visited. Only after Jiang Xingyao had almost digested what she had learned from Nilia did Madam Rongyue finally agree.
So the two of them went to Nelia's studio, where Fila was also there. This time she was much quieter, and although there was still some resentment in her eyes, she did not interfere when Lady Rongyue was instructing Tyr.
She only chased after Madam Rongyue to ask questions when she left.
This time, Madam Rongyue reached a cooperation agreement with Neria for a period of one week. Almost every day when it was over, Fila would come out to meet her, and Jiang Xingyao also became a little more familiar with Fila.
When they first met, neither of them imagined that they would one day be able to sit together so peacefully and have a late-night snack.
This was the last day of the exchange, and Fila took the initiative to meet with Jiang Xingyao. Fila had drunk a lot of alcohol yesterday, and Jiang Xingyao couldn't persuade her to stop.
Finally, she pulled Jiang Xingyao aside and said, "Weiyi, I really envy you so much for having a teacher like Rongyue."
During this time, Jiang Xingyao clearly saw the different attitudes that Nelia had towards Fila and the other two. She could roughly understand Fila's difficulties, but she couldn't say anything about it, since Nelia was still Fila's teacher.
In the end, Jiang Xingyao only left Fila her contact information and told her to keep in touch in the future.
Fila kept drinking and soon got drunk. She called Eled to pick her up. When she hung up, she suddenly said to Jiang Xingyao, "If you run into Tyre during your match, be careful."
She had drunk too much, and her voice sounded slurred, but Jiang Xingyao, who was close by, could still make out what she was saying.
Eled arrived quickly and, as he took Fila away, said the same thing: "Miss Only, you're a good person. Be careful of Tyr in the future."
Jiang Xingyao was in a daze. She paid for her drinks and had just stepped out of the tavern when she saw a figure hurrying in one direction across the street.
Jiang Xingyao was a little dazed; she felt as if she were seeing Jiang Cancan.
This is country M, where people of Asian descent are already rare, especially with that face that looks so much like hers.
By the time Jiang Xingyao hurried after her, the other person had already disappeared. She asked several passersby, but they all claimed that they had not seen the person she had seen.
Jiang Xingyao rubbed her temples. Perhaps it was because she was too tired and had drunk some alcohol recently that her vision was blurry.
She hailed a taxi back to the hotel, but didn't see a pair of eyes staring intently in her direction from a phone booth.
Jiang Cancan dialed a number, her voice soft: "Brother Qingyu, when are you coming to pick me up? I've remembered everything. If you come to pick me up, I'll tell you everything, okay?"
Go back by yourself?
I dare not. What if Grandpa Jin finds out and sends me to Africa again?
Please, Brother Qingyu, come and pick me up.
I promise I won't lie to you this time. I'll tell you anything you want to know.
