However, it was already too late…

Backstage, Wei Shisheng walked to Geng Qiu’s side and gently patted her on the shoulder. Her voice was gentle as she whispered into her ear, “Geng Qiu, I’ve already arranged things with Monchitov. You just need to do your best. Monchitov will definitely say on the spot that he wants to take you as his disciple. At that time, you’ll succeed.”

“Teacher Wei, thank you so much. Meeting you is my greatest fortune!”

Geng Qiu hugged Wei Shisheng excitedly. She felt that she was too lucky to have met her.

When she passed backstage, Wen Xin saw the two people hugging each other in the dressing room. The corners of her lips curled. Wasn’t it a little too early to start celebrating now?

It was Geng Jie’s turn in the competition. Due to the demanding requirements of the piano composition, she had applied in advance to use a specially designated piano and received approval from the competition committee.

When the piano was pushed up, everyone’s eyes flashed with surprise. This piano was the piano that the genius piano composer WEN had won in the MV. However, there were no broken diamonds on it, so it didn’t look as luxurious.

Geng Qiu elegantly walked out of the waiting area and bowed to the judges. Then she walked to the piano and began a series of preparations.

When she was ready, she took a deep breath. Her fair fingers landed on the black and white keys of the piano, skillfully playing the melody of the piano composition.

When she played the next note, she noticed that the melody was not something she was familiar with. She thought that she was too nervous and did not perform well.

She stood up awkwardly and apologized politely to the judges. She adjusted her sitting posture and took a deep breath. After hesitating for a long time, she played the first note.

At this time, the audience below the stage had already begun to whisper. They had just enjoyed the work of the genius piano composer WEN and had yet to wake up from the beautiful melody when they were pulled back to the real world by Geng Qiu’s piano.

The unfamiliar rhythm and the flaws in the score made it difficult for people to associate this piano piece with the newly released piano piece by the genius piano composer WEN, ‘Redemption’. It didn’t catch people’s hearts at all.

Geng Qiu’s performance was getting better and better. When she reached the last segment, the judges revealed a gratified smile. Only then did they see Geng

Qiu’s true strength.

Monchitov sat at the judges ‘table and looked at Geng Qiu, playing more confidently and beautifully. His originally furrowed brows relaxed a lot.

Although Geng Qiu’s performance was a little unstable at first, her subsequent performance completely surpassed the previous players. She had some good foundation.

Compared to the other judges ‘expressions, Lapor and Magis’ expressions were a little ugly. Magis picked up the name list beside her hand and saw Geng Qiu’s name. There were five big words clearly written on it: Original piano piece.

Although there were some differences between this song and ‘Redemption’, everyone could tell that those differences were the biggest flaws of this piece.

Most importantly, Geng Qiu did not understand the artistic conception of this song at all. After the changes, the surging, excited, and struggling feeling had completely disappeared. What was left was like a gurgling stream of water, plain and boring.

Many of the people present were piano experts. They had just been captivated by WEN’s Redemption. When they heard Geng Qiu’s piano piece, their first reaction was that it was a low-quality and emotionless version of Redemption, plagiarized without any essence.

Geng Qiu’s performance ended with a simple syllable. The arpeggios that everyone was looking forward to the most were not missing.

Geng Qiu looked at her piano in astonishment. She had not expected the piano to suddenly lose its sound at the most exciting part.

Wei Shisheng realized that something was wrong. She had heard Geng Qiu’s piano piece many times and knew this wasn’t the end, but why did it end here?

Before Geng Qiu could speak, the host heard that the piano piece had ended. He walked up to the stage and praised Geng Qiu’s performance with the gorgeous words he had prepared in advance.

Geng Qiu was completely unable to recover from her shock. Only now did she realize that her mistake on the first note was not due to her fault, but because her piano had been tampered with.

“Contestant Geng Qiu, your performance has ended. Tell me about your experience. Your piano piece is like a flowing stream, telling emotions and stories. It makes people feel like being in the mountains and forests, relaxing and refreshing.”

“I wonder what your evaluation is.”

Hearing the host call her name, Geng Qiu suddenly came to her senses. She quickly restrained her emotions and smiled politely at the judges and audience.

“Thank you for your high praise of me. I’m just using the piano to express my feelings. The purpose of this song is to express that if I could turn back time, I definitely wouldn’t waste time. I would cherish the people and things around me and study hard to enrich myself.”

As Wen Xin listened to Geng Qiu’s serious nonsense, she stood on the other side of the stage, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a contemptuous smile. He had stolen her song and even changed her perception. She was not the kind of person who would reminisce about the past.

In fact, even Lapor did not have her taste in songs. What she wanted was not the feeling of a small stream flowing for a long time.

What she wanted was the turbulent waves of the sea, the feeling of being pulled to the limit to survive in the waves.

Either live or die.

Lisa looked at the smile on Wen Xin’s lips and looked at her nervously. “That piano is obviously damaged. I believe many of the judges can see it, but no one wants to get into trouble. What are you going to do? That piano is gone, you…”

Before Lisa could finish her sentence, Wen Xin’s cold gaze drifted over. She smiled wantonly and ostentatiously.

“I once said that the most beautiful piano piece can’t be played by a top-notch piano that costs more than 30 million yuan. I can just use the piano provided by the competition.”

Wen Xin’s confident look reassured Lisa. She felt that following Wen Xin around was much more tiring than following Lapor. If her heart was not good, she would not be able to do this job at all!

“After listening to contestant Geng Qiu’s narration, we also benefited a lot.

Perhaps this is how piano players can see realms that ordinary people can’t!” “Judges, please give contestant Geng Qiu your comments and marks!”

“I feel that contestant Geng Qiu, although she made a small mistake at the beginning, her adjustments in the later stages were very gratifying. It can be said that she performed as she should! I think it’s still pretty good. I give 85 points..”
