Old Master Cheng also sat down and picked up the teacup while listening to Cheng Raohan.

He just nodded slightly, neither excited nor enthusiastic. His expression was flat as he said, “Put aside this matter for now.”

Cheng Raohan thought he would be praised by Old Master Cheng and didn’t expect his reaction to be so plain. He was taken aback for a moment. “Dad?”

He slammed the cup in his hand on the table, shocked.

“You came to me at night just because of this?” Old Master Cheng took a sip of tea. His eyes were dull and his stance was majestic.

Cheng Raohan didn’t know the situation had changed, but under his father’s majestic presence, he simply nodded.

The phone that Old Master Cheng put on the table rang. It was Cheng Wenru. He waved his hand at Cheng Raohan and dismissed him. “Butler Cheng, send the Young Master out.”

Cheng Raohan had come back to report the news with great joy. He didn’t dare ask more and only asked once he was outside, “Butler Cheng, what happened to my Dad? I spent a lot of money to find out about the buyer through Ouyang Wei and 129. I don’t know when I’ll get the Daylily if I miss this opportunity…”

Glancing at him, Butler Cheng couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. He took out a small gla.s.s bottle from his pocket. “Young Master, look at this.”

Cheng Raohan was about to say something, but when he turned and saw the bottle of Daylily in Butler Cheng’s hands, he turned pale as death.

“Why do you have an extra?” Wasn’t the one from the auction house sold?

Who else had this in their hands?!

The next day.

Monday.

After a week, the Violin a.s.sociation had open cla.s.ses every Monday morning from 8 am to 10 am in the first- and second-floor cla.s.srooms.

Qin Ran and the others went to the training room to practice at 7 am.

Only a few senior leaders of the Violin a.s.sociation had attended the banquet yesterday, but the news of Master Wei’s acceptance of his apprentice had spread in the Violin a.s.sociation.

“I heard that there was a gentry banquet in the violin industry last night. Master Wei also accepted an apprentice.” w.a.n.g Zifeng took his violin and entered. He had always been well-informed. After only one night, he already knew that Master Wei had accepted an apprentice and was now explaining to them. “All the big figures in Beijing attended, and only five or six people from our a.s.sociation could attend…”

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice. “It seems like some people from Continent M also came.”

Of course, he could only roughly guess who had attended but wasn’t clear as to who it really was.

This kind of high-level banquet in Beijing was very secretive, and those who attended were of high statuses who wouldn’t gossip unnecessarily.

As for the other service personnel… Who would dare to spread gossip about these big bosses?

But several media outlets had reported a little on it.

It was just that Internet traffic was paramount now. Every day on Weibo, posts with high flow rates of celebrities breaking up or of their selfies popped up… News of the grand theatre, professional and academic reports couldn’t even make a splash here.

“Continent M?” Tian Xiaoxiao put down the book in her hand and glanced at him, somewhat curious.

“A gathering of geniuses,” w.a.n.g Zifeng said vaguely without explaining further. He glanced at Qin Ran. “Qin Ran, Teacher Dai still hasn’t made a move? Why didn’t he look for you?”

It really didn’t make sense. With Qin Ran’s abilities, not to mention Dai Ran, the other teachers couldn’t possibly be so indifferent either.

Even w.a.n.g Zifeng himself had several teachers scouting him.

Thus, such an impressive student like Qin Ran couldn’t possibly not be scouted by any teacher.

Putting on her earphones, Qin Ran lowered her head and pretended not to hear him.

w.a.n.g Zifeng wasn’t bothered and glanced at the time. It was almost 8 am. He stood up and said, “Guys, let’s go. We still have an open cla.s.s today. It’s a rare opportunity, we don’t know which teacher is giving the lecture!”

In the Violin a.s.sociation, some outstanding students were accepted as apprentices by teachers of the seventh or eighth grade and were given special treatment. Other students without a teacher could only listen to the open cla.s.s once a week.

Sometimes, if they were lucky, they might even encounter Master Wei!

At this time, even Qin Yu would put aside the things at hand and listen to the open cla.s.s.

It seemed like the teacher coming today held a bit of weight. When w.a.n.g Zifeng went to grab his seat, most of them were already occupied.

“A lot of people came to attend the cla.s.s.” w.a.n.g Zifeng occupied the middle row.

8 am.

The lecturer came in with a USB stick.

As soon as they saw the teacher’s face, the students in Cla.s.s 201 started discussing excitedly.

It was Dai Ran.

Turning on the projector, he introduced himself to the students in Cla.s.s 201. “I’m Dai Ran, you can call me Teacher Dai. Today, I’ll tell you about the two aspects of action imitation and inner perception…”

Qin Ran listened for a while. As someone second only to Master Wei, Dai Ran was naturally outstanding in the violin, or at least on a standard Qin Ran couldn’t compare to.

She flipped through the book she brought along and listened to his lesson.

Halfway through, her phone vibrated.

It was a message from Wen Yin—

[Where are you?]

She replied honestly—

[In 201 attending cla.s.s.]

Wen Yin thought he read wrongly and paused for a while before replying—

[Okay.]

Putting down his phone, he glanced at Master Wei in the conference room and laughed. “Miss Qin Ran is attending the open cla.s.s in 201. I think she’s with her group members.”

This was really unprecedented. Master Wei himself didn’t expect his own student to attend the open cla.s.s. Was she not confident with the President of the Violin a.s.sociation?

“Which training room did she practice in before?” He put down the file in his hand.

“Room 211.” Wen Yin was very concerned about Qin Ran’s learning progress and was naturally very clear.

“Ok.” Master Wei stood up with his hands on the table. He bent over and opened a drawer before taking out a training form that he had just completed last night. “I’ll go directly to her. You can keep an eye on the a.s.sociation.”

After one week, he would check Qin Ran’s study progress and give her a new training form.

Wen Yin sent Master Wei out.

Once he had left, the other people in the conference room continued the topic from just now, slightly worried. “Teacher Dai seemed to have accepted another apprentice yesterday…”

Dai Ran was determined to go against Master Wei and accept many high-quality students. Wasn’t he doing this just to show off in the admissions performance of Continent M’s a.s.sociation two months later? But Master Wei only had one apprentice in comparison.

Two hours pa.s.sed quickly.

At 10 am, the open cla.s.s in Cla.s.s 201 ended. Dai Ran kept his things.

Tian Yiyun stood up and walked to him respectfully with her notebook. She said in a rather loud voice, “Teacher, I didn’t understand something yesterday?”

Dai Ran had originally looked upon Qin Ran.

But after Master Wei publicly chose her as his disciple, he could only retreat to second place and pick Tian Yiyun.

“Oh. Yiyun.” Dai Ran was sufficiently patient for his apprentice. He glanced at Tian Yiyun’s notebook and said in a gentle voice, “This question is a little complicated. Let’s go to my office, your senior is also there.”

Tian Yiyun closed the notebook and followed Dai Ran.

Her smile was as sweet as ever, and her babyface looked very likable, but the smugness between her brows couldn’t be concealed.

After news of Qin Ran being a fifth-grade student got out, she had also been depressed for a while. She originally thought that Dai Ran would definitely choose Qin Ran.

But she didn’t expect the tables to turn last night.

Thinking of this, she glanced in Qin Ran’s direction subconsciously. She was looking down and her expression wasn’t clear.

When Dai Ran left, the other people in Cla.s.s 201 reacted and were extremely shocked.

“Tian Yiyun is now Teacher Dai’s apprentice?”

“What the f*ck?”

Someone couldn’t help but glance at Qin Ran.

“It happened last night.” Li Xue, as Tian Yiyun’s spokesperson, was directly surrounded by the others, and she didn’t try to hide it either. “Teacher Dai is very nice. Yiyun even got his private notes. Once she finishes reading it, she’ll show it to me.”

More than a week ago, Li Xue had really regretted her decision.

After all, she had wanted to climb higher up. But after finding out that she had lost an opportunity to team up with a fifth-grade student, how could she not beat her chest in regret?

But now that Teacher Dai had accepted Tian Yiyun as his disciple and not Qin Ran, she felt a little comforted.

“This doesn’t make sense!” w.a.n.g Zifeng wrinkled his handsome eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “Why didn’t Teacher Dai choose you?”

Qin Ran took her book and followed behind them slowly, her hands placed behind her head.

Tian Xiaoxiao took Qin Ran’s student card and went to the training room. She spoke calmly, with a smile on her charming face, “Calm down. Maybe Dai Ran is blind?”

w.a.n.g Zifeng was speechless.

You’re not one to tell me to calm down.

“Beep—”

The door opened.

Tian Xiaoxiao walked in first, followed by w.a.n.g Zifeng, and then Qin Ran.

A little unhappy, w.a.n.g Zifeng walked weakly to the violin. “I’ll practice first…”

But before he finished his sentence, he saw an old man standing beside the bookshelf.

The old man was holding onto a book.

He seemed to have heard them and turned around, his face old and majestic.

Tian Xiaoxiao didn’t recognize this person and asked very politely, “May I ask, who are you?”
