Chapter 364: Music Is An Art That Normal People Don’t Understand

“Could it be that in the semi-finals, everyone performed very well and was even better than Miss Qiao? But President Gu said that Miss Qiao performed even better back then. President Gu can testify for Miss Qiao. Whose performance could’ve been more exciting than hers?”

“Then how did those people enter the finals back then? And how did Yao Mengqing get the championship title? Mr. Zhao, can you explain?”

One could hear a pin drop.

Everyone knew what was going on and looked at Zhao Qinghui in disdain.

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “After everyone’s reminder, I finally remember that something was off back then! All of you are right. The current Miss Yao can’t even compare to me, whose skills have already regressed. Is it because she has regressed more, or is it because there was a conspiracy in the finals back then?”

Yao Mengqing broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes filled with horror.

Zhao Qinghui frowned and cleared his throat. “Of course, the competition back then was fair and transparent, but I wasn’t the only judge in the violin competition. I couldn’t take the lead. Moreover, our evaluation of the contestants was based on many aspects. At that time, Miss Yao was indeed very outstanding. Be it her stage presence or her performance itself, she was very mature. Perhaps the judges at that time liked her a lot.”

Zhao Qinghui lectured everyone like an elder.

“Music is an art that only experienced musicians can understand. As for ordinary people, they’re just simply listening to music. It’s not enough for them to give comments.”

These words meant that although Qiao Xi’s performance sounded good on the surface, it actually did not contain any meaning. It could only make outsiders praise her endlessly, but it could not get her the praise of professionals.

Qiao Xi pretended to be innocent. “Gu Zheng, Mr. Zhao said you’re a layman! It doesn’t count if you say my performance is good!”

Everyone was trembling with fear. Zhao Qinghui was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

However, he was a celebrity in the music industry, after all. President Gu was a businessman. The comments he gave did not represent professionals at all.

Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as he said indifferently, “I’m indeed not a professional. As a famous musician, Mr. Zhao is naturally more experienced.”

Yao Mengqing’s expression softened. It seemed that Ah Zheng still cared about her.

She admitted that she was inferior to Qiao Xi in today’s performance. Everyone liked Qiao Xi’s performance, but everyone present was an amateur. They did not know music, so they liked Qiao Xi’s music that did not have any soul or emotions.

Mr. Zhao was a famous musician, so when he said that she played better, it meant that her playing skills were professional while Qiao Xi was just an amateur.

Hearing Gu Zheng’s words, Zhao Qinghui heaved a sigh of relief.

“President Gu is right. Miss Qiao’s performance was indeed astounding. I was also very puzzled that she did not enter the finals back then, but this has nothing to do with Miss Yao’s performance. Back then, we all agreed that Miss Yao’s performance was more emotional and mature. She deserved to be the champion!

“Speaking of which, let me invite Miss Yao to attend next month’s concert. At that time, the two of us will perform on stage together.”

After Zhao Qinghui finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Xi with eyes that were filled with disdain. “The matter from three years ago is already over. Miss Qiao, please don’t cling to the past and train hard. You’ll have a chance in the future.”

Everyone looked at Yao Mengqing in envy. It was a great honor to be able to perform with Zhao Qinghui. With Yao Mengqing’s looks, she might even be able to enter the entertainment industry. At that time, she would be superior to everyone in high society.

“But I still think Qiao Xi is more outstanding! It’s fine that Zhao Qinghui doesn’t like her, but why did he keep forcing her to perform? She has already given a great performance, yet he’s criticizing her. Isn’t this a little too much?”

Zhao Qinghui did not care at all. “I was just commenting as a professional musician. Although I’m a little harsh to Miss Qiao, it’s also for her own good.. I hope she can improve in the future and not give up on playing the violin. Miss Qiao, could it be that you think I’m deliberately targeting you?”
