"Of all the people I've met, you're the best pianist, so I wanted to come and ask you something." Li Mai didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Madam Qi smiled and said, "I see. That's fine. But I'll only be here until the end of this year. I'll be leaving next year."
“It’s okay. I’ll send her here to learn after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I believe she’ll be able to get the hang of it in three months. We’re not going to compete with anyone in terms of piano skills. We’re just helping the child fulfill her dream.” Li Mai adopted a very humble attitude.
