Chapter 618: Official Competition

Jiang Ran comforted Wang Qing and said, “It’s okay. Now that you’ve met me, I’ll help you.”

Wang Qing couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. They kept falling like beads with a broken string.

She cried and said, “Really? Then what can I do for you?”

Jiang Ran smiled and said, “There’s nothing you need to help me with. You just need to go back to school now and act like nothing happened.”

“Okay.” Wang Qing couldn’t help but lie in Jiang Ran’s arms and cry.

Jiang Ran patted Wang Qing’s back, and the scheme in her eyes became even more obvious.

Sun You deliberately turned down his work today, thinking of going out for dinner with Jiang Ran to improve their relationship. He didn’t expect to meet this woman on the way, which messed up his plan.

However, judging from Jiang Ran’s appearance, she seemed to be very concerned about this woman. In that case, sun you could only bring this woman named Wang Qing to have dinner.

After dinner, Jiang Ran said to Wang Qing, “Wait until the day of the official competition. Come with me to watch it.”

Wang Qing refused immediately and said, “There’s no way I’m going to watch Jiang Yu’s competition.”

Jiang Ran asked in amusement, “You’re really not going? Do you really think this is an international match? This is a match between Kang Xue and Jiang Yu! Don’t you want to go and watch? To see how Kang Xue crushed Jiang Yu?”

Wang Qing paused and was successfully convinced by Jiang Ran. He said, “Okay, I’ll go and watch!”

Jiang Ran smiled in relief.

On the day of the official competition, Wang Qing bought two tickets for the front seats in order to see Jiang Yu’s ugly state when she was defeated by Kang Xue up close.

Sitting beside her was Jiang Ran, who was also here to watch Jiang Yu’s ugly state when she was defeated.

There was only one official competition, and that was to compose two songs with completely different styles according to the theme given. Moreover, each song had to be played for no less than five minutes.

Wang Qing sat below the stage and asked curiously, “Isn’t this the same routine as the preliminaries back then?”

Jiang Ran said, “It’s indeed a little difficult to compose two songs with different styles at once.”

Wang Qing didn’t mind and said, “What’s so difficult about it? If it were me, wouldn’t it be a matter of minutes?”

Jiang Ran did not want to continue talking to Wang Qing. Her bragging was simply endless.

The theme of this official competition was war and peace. It was indeed difficult to compose two songs with different styles.

All the contestants had drawn lots to decide the order of appearance. Only Jiang Yu was arranged to be the last to appear because she was not a music major.

Kang Xue was the first to appear. She took a few deep breaths and began to compose on the spot.

The first song represented war. The sound was very loud and urgent, as if she had already experienced a life-and-death battle on the battlefield.

The second song represented peace. The sound was crisp and cheerful, as if they had survived a disaster after the war. A group of people were cheering for their victory and celebrating the beautiful life that was about to come.

Wang Qing quietly listened to Kang Xue’s piano piece and said to Jiang Ran who was beside her, “Kang Xue played the piece very well. I think the first place this time will be Kang Xue.”

Jiang Ran did not care what Kang Xue’s piece looked like. She just wanted to wait for the final result. She wanted to wait for the expression on Jiang Yu’s face when Kang Xue defeated Jiang Yu and won the first place.

The next contestants, without exception, all had the same routine as Kang Xue.

Passionate and high-pitched war songs, crisp and cheerful peace songs. After listening to them too many times, it would always tire people out.

Wang Qing said gloatingly, “Everyone has the same routine. No wonder the judges don’t like listening to them. They can’t compose themselves and only know how to arrange music according to the routines of the people in front of them. They deserve to not get a place.”

Jiang Ran agreed with Wang Qing, but it was hard for her to say whether Jiang Yu would compose a song different from Kang Xue’s.
