Chapter 154: Because He Is a Genius Composer

The staff showed Xu Yaoguang the surveillance of when he was in the corridor.

Because the first performance was starting, the whole hall outside the lounge was full of people.

But Master Wei’s door never opened.

Xu Yaoguang wasn’t in a hurry, so he held his hand and stared at the video while leaning against the table. The people in the surveillance video would come out eventually.

**

Outside the corridor, Master Wei didn’t return to his car immediately.

Instead, he called Chen Shulan.

Chen Shulan was still sleeping at this moment, so the nurse picked up the phone and told him that she was asleep.

Master Wei rubbed his eyebrows and also worried about Chen Shulan’s condition besides Qin Yu.

Chen Shulan’s importance to Qin Ran was needless to say. She was hospitalized early this summer and had yet to be discharged.

He was still in deep thoughts when he got in the car.

“Grandpa, what took you so long?” Inside, Wei Zihang leaned on the back of the chair and asked while pointing at the time.

The Wei family had driven a limousine today.

Qin Ran sat in the back row with Wei Zihang while Master Wei sat in front.

“I bumped into Young Master Xu.” Master Wei lowered his head and patted his sleeve, then said lightly, “We just talked a little.”

“Xu Yaoguang?” Wei Zihang wasn’t interested in him. “He must be here to watch the concert.”

Master Wei looked up calmly. “Yeah, he said he lost something and went to watch the surveillance videos.”

Wei Zihang nodded and didn’t reply.

Qin Ran narrowed her eyes.

She was deep in thought.

First, she tapped on Wei Zihang’s arm with her phone and waited for him to look over before saying, “Go sit in front.”

Wei Zihang didn’t ask any questions and just walked to the front to sit next to Master Wei.

Once he was in front, Qin Ran leaned on the back and flipped open the crystal screen of her phone. She extended the phone and lit the page.

She opened the editor page.

“Ran Ran, have you ever thought of continuing to learn the violin from me?” Master Wei leaned on the back of the chair and rested his arms on the window while knocking on it with his fingertips irregularly.

Qin Ran took a book from her bag and put the keyboard on it.

She typed on the keyboard while speaking to Master Wei, her white and clean face slightly lowered. There was no light in the car and only a little fluorescent light shone on her face. “I don’t know, I still need to think about it.”

Her hand movements were fast.

The address of the Royal Performance Hall was easy to find.

The monitoring route was also easy to find.

Other than confidential files, few people encrypted ordinary surveillance videos.

After typing a string of characters, Qin Ran leaned back and pressed “enter” very coolly.

She didn’t pay attention to Xu Yaoguang but had heard some stuff from Qiao Sheng.

He had always stared at the school’s art building and had looked for the surveillance video many times.

In the past, Qin Ran had always rejected it at the mention of this.

Now that she was relaxed, Master Wei was surprised.

“Okay, think about it. You must think about it. I’ll bring you two to eat at the restaurant, Royal Dynasty.” Master Wei sat up.

Qin Ran lowered her head and slowly put her phone back.

“No need.” Qin Ran looked out the window and thought for a while. “Drop me off here, I’m waiting for someone.”

“You…” Master Wei wanted to say that she had no relatives or friends in Beijing, so who could she be waiting for?

But he remembered Cheng Mu, who had opened the door earlier, and paused. Although he was reluctant, he still told the driver to stop and instructed her once again to think about it carefully before she left.

**

In the concert hall, Xu Yaoguang was still monitoring the video.

He sped it up by four times.

From the initial panicked crowd, the surveillance video was now empty.

The staff was bored and was already flipping casually on his phone.

Xu Yaoguang still waited patiently, without a sign of impatience between his cold eyebrows.

The door of the lounge was still closed—

Suddenly, the video stopped moving.

The surveillance video was stuck there and then it finally flashed and exited.

“What’s wrong with it?” Xu Yaoguang reached out and knocked on the table with one hand. He pressed his eyebrows with his other hand and was obviously suppressing his rage.

The staff put down his phone and pressed the mouse several times.

But it flashed and exited every time.

He was only someone who monitored the videos and was not one of the technical staff, so he couldn’t figure it out and turned his head apologetically. “Young Master Xu, the monitoring file might be broken. I don’t think it can be viewed as of now.”

“When can you fix it?” Xu Yaoguang stared at the computer screen.

“Erm… I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. I might ask a professional to take a look.” The staff hesitated.

The organizer took a step back. “Can it be copied? Make a copy and send it to Young Master Xu.”

The surveillance video shouldn’t be spread arbitrarily, but in the eyes of the people in the capital, some things don’t actually need any rules, as these rules were only used for restricting ordinary people.

The staff found a USB flash drive and made a copy for Xu Yaoguang to take away.

In the music hall.

The others exchanged glances after hearing Master Wei.

Ning Qing’s proud expression was frozen and she heard herself say mechanically, “Yu… Yu’er?”

Qin Yu’s face was pale and thunder seemed to burst in her mind and ring frequently.

She had played this track so many times, yet nobody could tell that this wasn’t her original composed song, and it had given her wishful thinking. But who knew that Master Wei would be able to hear it?

If this matter wasn’t resolved, all her future and dreams would be stagnant.

That included everything she now had in the Shen and Lin family.

“I didn’t.” Qin Yu pinched her palm and tried hard to maintain the expression on her face. “I know that Master Wei is talking about Yan Xi’s dark album series from three years ago, but I’ve listened to it already. Although the style is very similar, the arrangement is different.”

She took out her phone and played the song from Yan Xi’s dark album series on the spot.

Several paragraphs in the song were similar to Qin Yu’s style, but none of the arrangements was similar.

The other teachers had originally frowned and intended on ignoring Qin Yu.

But after hearing this, they exchanged glances again.

“Master Wei is just too demanding, and his vision is too high, which is why he can’t even find an apprentice till now,” Dai Ran straightened his clothes and said lightly. “I think he’s too confused. This arrangement is so amazing. Since it was a tune that was heard three years ago, it’s impossible to keep it silent and do nothing about it, right? Have you heard it in the past three years?”

The other people thought he made sense.

“Indeed, nobody would hide such an arrangement at home.” Someone nodded and looked at Qin Yu, his expression softening. “You’re very spiritual, and the dark arrangement can be compared to Yan Xi’s tune three years ago. You’re still young and have unlimited potential in the future.”

Yan Xi was a popular singer.

Nobody in the music industry, including Dai Ran and this group of people, dared to look down on him.

Because he was a genius composer.

He was recognized by the whole music industry.

Whether they were masters of the piano, violin, guzheng, etc., they liked to pick out Yan Xi’s old music scores and then rearrange it into their own music.

This was a form of artistic conception, and some hyped masters even made a fortune because the song spread all over the Internet.

Hearing this comment, Qin Yu’s heart finally relaxed.

Dai Ran smiled and walked towards Qin Yu, his tone kind. “I’m Dai Ran, but you can call me Teacher Dai. I wonder if you would like to learn the violin from me?”

Dai Ran’s reputation wasn’t as big as that of Master Wei in the entire violin world.

But in Sijiu City, the Dai family and Dai Ran were still famous enough.

Old Master Shen’s gloomy face was now overjoyed and he took two steps forward and bowed his head. “Of course, this is her honor. Yu’er, greet your teacher.”

Old Master Shen gestured to Qin Yu with his eyes.

Qin Yu thought that the Shen family wouldn’t care about her anymore now that Master Wei didn’t accept her as an apprentice, so she didn’t expect Old Master Shen to be as intimate as before.

She exhaled slowly, walked to Dai Ran, and called very respectfully, “Teacher.”

The others congratulated Dai Ran on finding a spiritual apprentice.

They were full of envy.

But they had no other choice. Other than Master Wei, none of them could surpass Dai Ran.

And Dai Ran just smirked in the direction where Master Wei had left, his smile unpredictable.

Qin Ran sat on the road and waited for Lu Zhaoying.

Lu Zhaoying drover over and saw that Qin Ran was using her phone, chatting with someone.

Her sweater hat was pulled over her head.

Today, she had changed into a black sweater, and although she was sitting lazily, she seemed even colder than usual.

A few strands of her black hair hung out from the side as she held her phone with her long fingers.

People who stopped nearby and waited couldn’t help but glance at her.

Lu Zhaoying lowered the window and called her.

Qin Ran pulled her hat and stood up slowly.

She didn’t keep her phone and a WeChat message popped up: [Brother, your arrangement has been delayed for three months.]
