177. Successor of Chinese Music (Second Update)
If Grace satisfies the traditional Chinese impression of Europeans and Americans, then these four people who came over are a kind of existence that breaks the impression.
Reddish-brown hair, brown eyes, only body shape, face shape, and skin color show their European and American identities.
All four of them are men, probably just graduating from college.
"HELLO." The four of them greeted Xia Yu and the others.
Even though there is no English class in the first district, Liu Manman and An Siyao can still understand the English words that appear frequently.
They replied in the same way.
The two parties smiled friendly, and then the four of them looked at Grace: "Will you have breakfast together tomorrow, Grace?"
They spoke in English, which Liu Manman and An Siyao couldn't understand.
But Xia Yu, who has language level 3, can.
Holding a glass of juice, Xia Yu openly eavesdropped on their conversation.
"What do you want to do?" Grace had helplessness on her face, and she also spoke in English.
"I just invited you to have breakfast. You don't want to be with these foreigners, right?"
The five of them knew each other.
"This is my job, I am now a hired translator." Grace said.
"Just deal with it casually over there."
"How can it be."
"It's really troublesome." The four of them were a little depressed. "We have obviously told them to let you be our translator. Why are you still sent to this group of yellow people?"
"This is probably because the organizers believe that people who can speak English are in the second area and do not need translation." An English sentence was interjected.
This sentence made the five people stunned. They were stunned not because of the logic behind the words, but because the speaker was not any one of the five of them.
They looked at Xia Yu in surprise.
Xia Yu smiled slightly and raised the juice in his hand to them.
The five people reflexively raised the wine in their hands and took a sip together.
Cool drinks to cool them down.
Embarrassment rose on their faces.
Although they didn't say anything bad, they didn't say anything good either.
"I'm really sorry." The five of them apologized to Xia Yu.
This kind of scene where you think others don't understand, but turn out to be clearly understood by others, is really exciting.
"You speak English really well." The five of them continued the conversation awkwardly.
"Thank you." Looking at the expressions on their faces, Xia Yu felt happy.
It’s wrong to base your happiness on other people’s pain, but you can still base your happiness on other emotions, such as surprise and embarrassment.
After barely chatting for a few more words, the four of them turned and left.
After they left, Liu Manman hooked Xia Yu's neck: "You can actually speak English?"
"It took me a while to study." Xia Yu didn't lie. He only studied for eight hours.
But Liu Manman didn't believe it: "I admit that you are a genius in music, but how can you master a foreign language after learning it for a while? What do you want to do by learning English?"
In the past life, due to reasons such as technological and national strength, English was almost the standard for the upper class. However, in this world, there is no difference between the status of Chinese and English.
Those who learn English, except those preparing to go abroad, only need translation.
If Xia Yu didn't give a decent reason, Liu Manman wouldn't believe it.
Also curious is Grace.
Only An Siyao remained calm.
"Because I had a British netizen before, and I learned a lot from it." Xia Yu found a reason by the way.
"I understand, it's a woman, right?" Liu Manman automatically made up a plot.
Looking at Grace's expression, she also believed it.
This kind of lying method of telling half of the story and leaving the other half for other people to think about, and probably hiding a bit of drama, is really convenient.
After they said something together, two more people walked towards them.
This time, two Chinese people came, looking for Xia Yu and the others.
After they got closer, Xia Yu felt a faint discomfort, and his telepathy told him that these were two hostile people.
Xia Yu has never met these two people, so it cannot be because of any conflicts left over from history. It can only be due to entangled interests.
This time there are two teams in the first area, the three of them and the two in front of them.
Are you thinking that if the three of you weren't there, they would be the focus of the audience in the first area?
If this is really the reason, then they are not only cowardly, but also stupid.
The first district will definitely get two teams. This is politically correct. Even if there are no Xia Yu and the other two, there must be other teams.
The two of them were pretty good at showing off, and they greeted each other with smiles on their faces.
Xia Yu had already investigated the contestants before and knew their identities. They were two brothers from the Gu family, twins, 29 years old. One studied dulcimer and the other studied erhu. Their individual playing ability was not outstanding, but the ensemble was pretty good. sharp.
After saying a few useless words, the two Gu brothers were leaving. Finally they couldn't stand it anymore, and there was a hidden thorn in their words:
"We looked at the first two pieces you submitted. The combination of Eastern and Western instruments is okay, but you can just play with Western instruments. If you practice them all the time, your abilities will only get worse. And those are European and American people. stuff."
Their words directly attacked An Siyao, who played the piano, and indirectly attacked Xia Yu, who excelled in playing the piano.
Only Liu Manman was not within the scope of their words, but her teammates were belittled, which made her unable to remain calm.
Xia Yu didn't expect that there could be racism on musical instruments.
After grabbing Liu Manman who wanted to speak, Xia Yu did not argue with them on this topic.
This is not a debate, but a verbal attack, also known as a quarrel. There is no need to make any sense in a quarrel, you just need to attack the weakness of the other party's mind and make the other party angry.
"It doesn't matter. We are still young. There is no problem in wasting a few more years. However, the two seniors are not young anymore. They need to concentrate more on the next step."
Xia Yu's words struck a weak spot in the minds of the two Gu brothers. They were eleven years older than the three Xia Yus, almost twice as old as them, but they were both standing on the same stage.
The two Gu brothers felt that Xia Yu was laughing at their talents. Their abilities alone were indeed not very good. If they played alone, they wouldn't be able to win even the weakest Liu Manman.
This is also the pain in their hearts, and the reason why they say provocative words is also the reason why they are jealous of the talents of Xia Yu and the others.
Blushing, the two wanted to fight back but couldn't find any suitable words, so they could only swallow their breath and walk away angrily.
The two exchanged:
"Brother, that guy is too bad!"
"It doesn't matter. It's just right for them to use Western instruments. We are the heirs of Chinese music. If we hype it up when the time comes, we will definitely gain a lot of popularity."
Unfortunately, personal achievements have nothing to do with his character. Whether in the business, in politics, or among the top figures in the field of philosophy, there are some gentle scum.
These two are such people.
