Chapter 100 The Eternal Gap with Lin Zhengran

A new week began. Nothing special happened this week, except that the school organized a small fundraising event on Wednesday.

After Jiang Qian donated the money, the head teacher was shocked by the amount she donated. After class, he called Jiang Qian out and asked her something.

Lin Zhengran happened to pass by and heard it.

"Student Jiang Qian, are you sure you want to donate two pianos to our school?"

Jiang Qian had a blank expression on her face: "Yes, sure, but after I donate, I hope the school will allow me to play occasionally in my spare time."

The head teacher sighed that the children from wealthy families really did things differently from ordinary people, and said with a smile:

"The teacher will report this matter to the superiors. Although there have not been many such cases before, I think this kind of small request should be no problem.

Anyway, I would like to thank Jiang Qian for her contribution to the school. The donation you just made to the poor areas is enough for several classes. Thank you."

Jiang Qian responded: "You're welcome, teacher. I'm just showing my love."

Few people knew the second young lady's true thoughts. Only Fang Meng understood Jiang Qian's intention after hearing her talk about donating the piano and money after class.

Jiang Qian is not the type of person who would suffer a loss, nor would she waste the family's resources. She has always been profit-driven in doing things.

For example, the purpose of donating the piano was to allow her to practice playing at any time, and also so that even if she made some small mistakes or made some small requests in the future, the school would be tolerant. After all, the piano is just a beginning and a representative.

There will be many such fundraising events in the next three years, and Jiang Qian will definitely contribute a lot of resources to this high school every time.

As for donating money, she would definitely do it because the name Jiang Qian represents not only herself, but also the future successor of the Jiang family.

Although donating a lot might not necessarily be praised, as the second daughter of the Jiang family, if she did not donate, it would definitely leave a bad impression on others. Besides, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for her, so there was no need to be stingy.

After school on Thursday afternoon, the teacher called Jiang Qian to give her the key to the school's newly opened piano room: "This is the key to the school's piano room. The director said that Jiang Qian can go to the piano room to practice anytime on weekends or after school."

Jiang Qian took it with a smile: "Thank you, teacher."

At that time, Lin Zhengran was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, but Jiang Qian walked up to Lin Zhengran and said, "Class monitor, I will wait for you in the piano room after lunch tomorrow. I have something to give you."

After saying that, Jiang Qian left, and Lin Zhengran looked at her.

[One month ago, you received a handwritten secret letter from your family while traveling. The letter said that the head of the Lin family and the current imperial family of the Imperial City were close friends hundreds of years ago. It happened that the Lin family met with the envoys of the Imperial City a few days ago and talked about the marriage contract you had made with the eldest princess of the Imperial City.]

[The messenger said that the eldest princess is also traveling in the northern part of the continent. If you are lucky enough to meet her, please meet her and tell her about the engagement.]

[A few days later, you did meet the eldest princess of the imperial city while traveling. She had a cold and beautiful temperament and extraordinary talent, but she seemed to be unaware that you were her future husband.]

[But even so, after some battles and disputes with her, the princess still developed a strong interest in you even though she didn't know you were her husband.]

[Today she asked you to meet at Miaoyin Temple at noon tomorrow, saying that she has a treasure to give you]

[You don’t know what the treasure is, but if you go you will get this unknown opportunity. Not going is also a choice.]

After listening to the system's description, Lin Zhengran smiled and walked towards the cafeteria.

Since it is an opportunity, there is no reason not to seize it.

In the eyes of the system, Jiang Qian is really the eldest princess. No wonder her sister Jiang Jingshi was evaluated by the system as the empress of the imperial city.

That night Jiang Qian and Fang Meng took a bus home.

Jiang Qian has piano lessons two days a week, and two extremely professional tutors will come to her home to personally guide Jiang Qian in practice.

In the piano room of the villa, Fang Meng cut the fruit and brewed hot tea and brought them in.

Jiang Qian's piano playing is elegant and solemn, and her fingers dance rhythmically on the keys.

The two tutors clapped their hands and said, "Not bad, not bad. The second young lady's piano skills have improved a lot recently. You know, this piano piece is extremely difficult. It is impossible for ordinary people to play it without mistakes unless they have extremely strong talents."

Listening to the teacher's praise, Jiang Qian stared at the piano with a blank expression.

Because she recalled the scene when Lin Zhengran was practicing that day, and the gap in skills between them was completely not on the same level as hers.

Fang Meng could naturally see Jiang Qian's micro-expression, and put the fruit plate and tea aside: "Qianqian, and the teachers, if you are tired, you can take a break and drink some tea."

The teachers said thank you.

Jiang Qian suddenly said, "I want to practice the song "Watching the Snow" which I was supposed to learn next year."

Both teachers looked at Jiang Qian.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Watching the snow?"

Watching the Snow is a representative of extremely difficult piano pieces at the music festival. It is famous for the ups and downs of the melody and the huge differences between several climax points. Therefore, unless the player has a very solid foundation, it will be impossible to play it smoothly.

As soon as Jiang Qian finished speaking, Fang Meng found the music score of "Watching the Snow" and put it on the piano.

Jiang Qian's fingers were light, and she was fairly proficient in the previous rhythm because she had practiced for more than ten years. However, she started to make mistakes at the first climax. When she played to the second climax, the transition note was ruined because of the huge difference in melody.

She stopped pointing, but even so the teachers still clapped and praised.

"Miss Second is amazing! This piece of music is so difficult, so it's great that you can play it here for the first time. More practice will definitely pay off."

Jiang Qian started playing again from the beginning, but the result was still the same. After all, there is no luck in playing the piano. If you can play, you can play, and if you can't, you can't.

The teacher came over and gave Jiang Qian serious instructions, but Jiang Qian frowned slightly after listening.

He was even more shocked, but not at the two of them, but at Lin Zhengran at that time. Although what the two teachers said seemed to make sense, it was nothing like what he had felt when Lin Zhengran taught him that day. He clearly had a sense of enlightenment.

Jiang Qian was increasingly puzzled as to what Lin Zhengran's level was. Could he be better than these two teachers who had been in the industry for more than 30 years? She stood up and said, "Please play for me first, teachers. I want to hear it."

The teachers smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will demonstrate it to the second young lady."

Jiang Qian watched the teacher's graceful movements as she sat on the piano. She even made mistakes the first time the teacher played, and it was better the second time.

But even though she finished playing smoothly, Jiang Qian's brows furrowed even more tightly.

She was sure that these two teachers were indeed stronger than herself, but...she was afraid they were not as strong as Lin Zhengran.
