Meng Xu was halfway through the game, in the midst of a tense and exciting moment. Without even looking up, he replied, "Brother, I just got back. Is this in a hurry? If not, I'll pick it up on my way back to school tomorrow."
"urgent."
"I'll buy you that new sports car you had your eye on the other day."
"Holy crap!" Meng Xu exclaimed in excitement, instantly dying in the game. He didn't care about anything else. What had Meng Qing just said? Sending him a sports car?
Now it's very convenient for him to be going that way.
"Brother, what do you need me to send? I'm heading back to school right away!"
Meng Qing handed the violin case to Meng Xu, who recognized it as a violin. When did Meng Qing start playing musical instruments?
"Give this to Shi Qian. Contact him directly when you arrive."
Meng Xu suddenly realized that the only thing that could be so urgent was Shi Qian's matter.
"Don't worry, bro! Mission accomplished!"
Meng Xu stopped playing games and lying on the sofa, and walked out with her violin case in her arms.
When Shi Qian received the zither, she was still in a daze. This was too fast!
He opened the violin case, tested the tone, and touched the violin body; it was indeed a fine violin.
On the weekend, Shi Qian went directly to the Music Association. He forgot to bring his ID card, but fortunately, there was facial recognition, so Shi Qian entered the Music Association building without any problems.
A lot of people came to the first floor. Shi Qian saw the notice from afar that these two days were the days for the Beijing Musicians Association's assessment and selection.
It was a coincidence, but the number of people from the Beijing Music Association who came to take the exam was several times greater than that from Yancheng.
Shi Qian didn't join the crowd; he went straight to the stairwell. The second and third floors were all practice rooms, so he could just pick one to practice in.
Shi Yan also came to participate in this year's Beijing Music Association selection. He had inquired and found out that Chairman Yan usually did not care about the selection of members and was away on a business trip. Shi Yan decided to take a gamble.
If he can get into the music association, his status will be extraordinary, and he will be able to come into contact with more people. He needs to know more capable and influential friends so that they can help him.
This time, Shi Yan came with his new roommate and other students from the school who were also going to participate in the selection. Shi Yan maintained a good image at school and was quite popular.
Although Shi Yan and his previous roommates had a falling out because of Shi Qian, Shi Yan played the victim, saying that he was also a victim of being deceived, and the matter eventually ended with him changing dorms.
Shi Yan is good-looking and plays the zither quite well. In addition, he is always willing to help others, so everyone has a good impression of him.
"I hope that all of us can pass the test, so that we can support each other once we're in the music association."
Liang Bixian was Shi Yan's new roommate. He played the cello and had a good relationship with Shi Yan. Knowing that Shi Yan was also participating in the music association selection, they came together.
"Yes, but I heard that the selection process for the Beijing Musicians Association is very difficult, with many applicants and fierce competition."
"It's alright, there are plenty of people being recruited in the capital, so the chances of getting in are still very good."
"Moreover, the treatment at the Beijing Musicians Association is much better than that at the local level, with many benefits that other branches do not offer."
"That's true. My mom also told me last year not to take the music association exam in our area, but to wait until I go to university and take the exam in Beijing, saying that the opportunities here are better."
“However, I’ve heard that the judges here are very strict, so I’m a little worried…” Shi Yan said.
"It's alright. Are you playing the violin well? I saw on your resume that you've won quite a few awards. If you hadn't injured your hand back then, you would have been accepted into your local music association long ago."
"There's nothing I can do, I didn't expect something like that to happen..."
"But your cousin is really wicked. He can't stand to see you doing well. If it were our family, having someone in the music association would be a great honor!"
"If it were my cousin, he would have been scolded to death by his family long ago. Only your family is biased and always sides with the younger one."
"It's okay, it's all an accident. I'll participate this year and it'll be the same..."
"How can they be the same? Being proactive and being passive are not the same thing. Don't take your cousin's side. They say you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public, but he can't take advantage of that to bully you all the time!"
"Didn't you say he also got into the capital? Where is he studying?"
“It’s just a regular school, quite far from here…” Shi Yan replied.
"Yeah, with such a bad character, how good can his grades be? He probably went to some diploma mill. It's better to stay away from him so he doesn't come to you and annoy you again."
"You need to know what kind of relatives you can help and what kind of relatives you can't. So what if you're poor? There are plenty of poor people in this world, but none of them are like him, both poor and arrogant."
The group had heard a lot about Shi Yan's cousin. They had seen the scar on Shi Yan's arm before and asked what happened. That's when they learned that he had been beaten up before he took the assessment.
Everyone was very angry. Anyone who studies music knows how important the hands are. If you accidentally injure your tendons or bones, it could end your entire music career.
Knowing that Shi Yan was deliberately injured, she felt even more indignant. Shi Yan looked like a gentle and easy-to-bully honest person, no wonder he was trampled on.
After learning that the cousin who injured Shi Yan was also studying in the capital, the group all said they would protect him and teach him a lesson if he dared to cause trouble again.
Shi Yan remained silent, secretly pleased with himself. Ever since that incident in front of the barbecue restaurant, Shi Yan had learned his lesson.
He tried to make the information as vague as possible to avoid them going to Peking University, which would easily expose the deception.
Shi Qian is the best tool for him to shape his own image; victims always evoke sympathy and pity.
Hearing these people speaking up for him, Shi Yan felt incredibly relieved. Let them curse, curse Shi Qian to death.
Li Chuan stood in the corner of the hall, looking at Shi Yan and the few people who stood up for him, and let out a cold laugh.
It took him three months to pull himself out of the mire and start practicing again before he was admitted to the Beijing Conservatory of Music.
He kept reflecting on the stupid things he had done, realizing that he had been used by someone who was doing just fine while he had almost been ruined.
Shi Yan has no heart at all. I stood up for him so many times at school and bullied Shi Qian, but what did I get in return?
When Li Chuan saw the clarification notice issued by the school, he realized that he had been completely deceived.
The claims of being a poor relative of the Shi family, an ingrate, stealing the score, and injuring someone's hand are all false.
It was all a performance by Shi Yan, who has a histrionic personality disorder. Even though he was the perpetrator, he always pretended to be pitiful.
When Li Chuan learned that Shi Yan had actually injured his own hand to frame Shi Qian, he knew that this man was ruthless and that anyone who got close to him would be badly injured.
Li Chuan once confronted Shi Yan, but Shi Yan said that it was all voluntary on his part and that he had never been forced to do anything.
Li Chuan laughed in anger. He deserved it; what happened in Yancheng was retribution for his gullibility.
Shi Yan didn't see Li Chuan. As he was chatting with the others, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
The person who just turned into the stairwell, doesn't that look like Shi Qian?
