Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Seeking Her Help
Mei Qin was also well-intentioned when she made that comment.
“Not at all, music doesn’t deceive, nor does the piano.
Even if I’ve never met her, I know she has the ability.
It’s not her seeking me now, but me seeking her!”
Hearing this, Mei Qin shook her head helplessly.
Mr.
Chu Kong was quite obstinate; once he set his mind on something, he’d persist in doing it, even the persuasions of Mr.
Chu Kuo were useless.
Of course, he hoped Mr.
Chu Kong could find a successor to his liking, but he also knew that the higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment, and he worried that the other party might let Mr.
Chu Kong down.
Speaking of which, Miss Shao Yunxuan was also lucky.
She casually played a piece in the arts building and was overheard by Mr.
Chu Kong, a chance that could be described as one in ten thousand.
Even more fortuitously, the piece she played caught Mr.
Chu Kong’s ear, making him set aside everything just to meet her, even declaring that he intended to take Shao Yunxuan as his disciple.
Such statements were not made lightly in the circle because once spoken, it signified that the other person had been taken under one’s wing.
It was like the formal apprenticeship of ancient times, a very official matter.
Seeing Mr.
Chu Kong’s resolute attitude, he thought the other party might really be excellent.
Hopefully, Miss Shao won’t disappoint Mr.
Chu Kong’s expectations…
Shao Yunxuan took a long detour with her mother before finally arriving at the main building.
Years ago, the Shao family lived in the same alley as the Fu Family in Wucheng County, under modest conditions, leading a very ordinary life.
Later, it was the Shao family that prospered first, gaining enough strength to buy a house in the city, and it was then that Shao Yunxuan had the chance to come into contact with the piano and even passed her exams.
Because she didn’t do well academically when she was young, she chose the path of art students directly when applying for high school.
Having already repeated a year, this year the Shao family spent a lot of money for Shao Yunxuan to undergo training abroad, continuously strengthening her piano skills, betting that she could be admitted to a good university this year.
There were many prestigious schools in Jinjing, unimaginable to them in the past.
But now things were different, as they had made contact with the great artist Mr.
Chu Kong.
As they walked, Shao’s mother looked at her daughter with all kinds of contentment in her heart.
Her daughter was beautiful and played the piano well; what she lacked was an opportunity.

Her daughter’s piano piece moved Mr.
Chu Kong.
Anyone who had learned piano knew this name, and no one didn’t know about the Starlight Symphony Orchestra.
It was the most authoritative symphony orchestra in the industry, and Mr.
Chu Kong was a grand master in the piano world.
About Mr.
Chu Kong’s illness, they were unaware, as they didn’t have such strong information sources.
But upon learning that her daughter had been handpicked by Mr.
Chu Kong, she knew their Shao family’s opportunity had come.
As Shao’s mother walked, she took her daughter’s hand and patted it earnestly.
“Yunxuan, don’t be nervous, just perform steadily later.
Your music teacher has already said that Mr.
Chu Kong is especially satisfied with you, and he went to great lengths to find you.” As she said this, she couldn’t help but wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
This was due to excessive joy.
Mr.
Chu Kong personally extended an invitation and even arranged their flights and hotel throughout, showing full sincerity.
Although they had not formally become disciples yet, they were clear that Yunxuan was set.
Once this news got out, many people came knocking on their door to curry favor, giving them the sensation of a phoenix rising to the top of the trees.
A snort of derision came from Shao’s mother’s somewhat chubby face.
From now on, their family would no longer be associated with those people.
As long as they were connected with Mr.
Chu Kong, they would henceforth mingle with high society, and her daughter would shine brightly.
Perhaps she could even marry into a wealthy household, becoming a rich lady and achieving a leap in social status.
Shao’s mother walked on, absorbed in her thoughts, not noticing that Shao Yunxuan seemed preoccupied, heavy with her thoughts.
Soon the two women found the piano room where Chu Kong was.
Mei Qin was already at the door to greet them.
Today, Shao Yunxuan was dressed with special care, creating a very good first impression.
The mother and daughter were especially cautious and respectful when they saw Mei Qin, a stark contrast to their earlier attitude when meeting Lu Mian.
Mei Qin made a welcoming gesture, leading Shao Yunxuan and her mother into the piano room.
It was also Shao Yunxuan’s first time meeting Chu Kong.
Even if she had seen his concerts online before, they were separated by a screen; Chu Kong, to her at that time, seemed like a deity in the sky, unapproachable and beyond reach.
She thought she would never touch such a high level in her life, and yet fate had pushed her to Mr.
Chu Kong’s side, and she was about to become his apprentice.
What an immense honor that was!
For this honor, she told herself she must persist no matter what.
Thinking so, Shao Yunxuan’s steps grew more resolute.
Not until she walked in and saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa did her nervousness reach an unprecedented peak.
Chu Kong, looking at this girl with a restrained face, thought he had frightened her with his stern look, he quickly offered a smile, “Child, don’t be nervous, this isn’t an interview.
Just relax, I’m usually easy to talk to.”
Mei Qin, who was standing by, closed the door and went to prepare some tea and snacks, shaking her head inwardly.
Good-tempered?
Does the master have some misunderstanding about himself?
Even Mr.
Chu Kuo sometimes can’t stand his temper.
Chu Kong was thirsty for talent.
Now he looked at Shao Yunxuan as if a dying person grasped at the last straw, pinning all his hopes on her.
Especially for someone as stubborn on certain matters as he was, this was even more the case.
Shao Yunxuan, unaware of his mindset, respectfully called out “Mr.
Chu Kong,” and her mother also greeted him.
Chu Kong laughed heartily and waved his hand.
If one observed carefully, they could see his hand shaking slightly, as if he was suppressing something with great effort.
After a brief assessment of Shao Yunxuan, Chu Kong invited them to sit wherever they liked.
Having never been to such a fine place, the mother was cautious and even a bit timid, afraid of damaging the sofa.
The discomfort of mother and daughter did not escape Chu Kong’s eyes, and he pondered for a moment.
The spirited and unrestrained feeling emanating from the piano score had shocked him.
He had thought that the performer would be someone who was wild, sharp, and devil-may-care, but it turned out to be a demure young girl.
This surprised him and also left him somewhat puzzled.
He thought maybe it was because the place was unfamiliar or perhaps his demeanor too serious that made her nervous.
He quickly said a few casual words to lighten the mood, and these words did the trick.
As mother and daughter chatted back and forth, they gradually let go of their awkwardness and began to relax.
Taking the opportunity, Shao’s mother also inquired about the other party’s intentions and smilingly said, “Mr.
Chu Kong, we are honored that Yunxuan has caught your favorable eye.
I don’t know if Yunxuan is fortunate enough to apprentice under you and learn some real skills.”
Chu Kong, hearing her words, quickly waved his hand.
It wasn’t that they were pleading with him to take on an apprentice, but that he was the one pleading for her to become his student!
Who made the girl play such pleasing music that had entered his ears?
Thinking of that piece of music, he felt a surge of enthusiasm and, pointing to the nearby piano, said eagerly, “Yunxuan, play that piece from the other day once again.”
