Chapter 198 Final Exam
Liu Lan felt that she was quite far away from Zhu Xiyang and had never spoken a word to him.
Zhu Xiyang has a very good reputation in the school. He is a young pianist, associate professor, and has successfully held the first chamber music ensemble concert. He has a bright future and is handsome. Students all admire him very much. Why does Xue Yunfei hate him so much?
She was very confused.
"Why?" Liu Lan asked.
"The scoundrels are people like Zhu Xiyang," Xue Yunfei felt that he had to sound the alarm for Liu Lan.
"Zhu Xiyang and I were in the same class at Berklee. He was in the piano department, and I was in the composition department. You may not know that although the Berklee College of Music in the United States is very famous, this school focuses on modern popular music majors, such as jazz, country music, rock and blues. Classical music is less popular in this college. To put it bluntly, excellent pianists will not choose to study at Berklee. The fact that Zhu Xiyang was admitted to the piano major at Berklee is enough to show that his piano level is very poor."
Liu Lan thought about it carefully and realized that Zhu Xiyang rarely played the piano in front of them. The only time was when he demonstrated in the music classroom, and he only played a short piece.
"But he performed as a soloist at the New Year's Symphony Concert on New Year's Day this year."
"Don't you know that this kind of concert is mediocre?" Xue Yunfei sneered, "The programs in this kind of concert are all taken up by people with connections, and those with real talents will not be invited."
...
...
"Poor grades are a minor problem. Zhu Xiyang's biggest problem is his character." Xue Yunfei didn't want to talk about these dark sides and pollute Liu Lan's innocent heart, but he was afraid that she would be deceived by Zhu Xiyang because she was too innocent, so he told her everything. "Zhu Xiyang's family is very rich. He lives in a mansion in Boston, drives a luxury car, and has a very decadent private life. He would try every means to get close to any pretty female international student in our school and lure them into the trap with money. Almost no one escaped his clutches. They were all toyed with by him. What's even more disgusting is that he also takes drugs!"
Liu Lan was shocked. Zhu Xiyang looked gentle and refined, and you couldn't tell that he was such a person.
"He was forcibly sent to a drug rehabilitation center by the American police three times. He probably quit on the last occasion. His reputation in the United States was ruined and he couldn't make it, so he returned to China. I didn't expect that he would get a position in your school," Xue Yunfei said. "As for his background, I don't know either."
Liu Man thought of Li Xiaoru's words and said, "My classmate told me that his father was the former principal of our school."
"Oh, so that's why. No wonder he is so rich," Xue Yunfei understood. "It seems that his father made a lot of money when he was in office."
Xue Yunfei really hated Zhu Xiyang and had already spoken without restraint. How could he say such things casually in public?
Liu Lan asked Xue Yunfei about Zhu Xiyang, but it was only because of Wang Nina's matter that she paid a little attention to Zhu Xiyang and just mentioned him casually.
She just treated Xue Yunfei's words as gossip, but she didn't expect that not long after, she would have a face-to-face confrontation with Zhu Xiyang.
Four days after Tang Tu’s solo concert, Liu Lan had the first English test in her life.
She is very nervous!
She had read the textbooks thoroughly, and by looking up the texts in various dictionaries, she was able to roughly understand them.
Liu Lan came to the examination room full of confidence. But the moment she got the test paper, the densely packed Latin letters made her feel deflated.
Her mind went blank, and she found that she didn't recognize the words she was reciting. No matter how good a person's memory is, they can't do two things at once. Liu Man herself was an ancient person who had never been exposed to English. She usually had to recite a large number of ancient poems and articles according to Professor Su's instructions, and write them down in official script or regular script, practice calligraphy, and recite thousands of English words. Her energy and brain capacity were simply not enough.
Besides, your English level cannot be improved simply by memorizing words.
By the time Liu Lan finished writing the test paper, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She has done her best.
When the exam was over and she handed in her paper, she already knew what she had done. She knew she had not done well.
