The world's number one pianist

The next day, the sky was clear, the place was bustling with people, red flags were waving, gongs and drums were roaring...

A lot of words that were often used in writing essays in elementary school were completely inadequate to describe the atmosphere of the day.

Because it was the first day of the competition, all the music colleges in China, whether they were state-level music colleges, or music colleges in universities, or music departments in colleges.

All the teachers and students of these music colleges came to the vicinity of the China Conservatory of Music.

Coupled with the careful arrangement of the China Conservatory of Music, the area around the China Conservatory of Music, which was originally relatively empty, instantly became extremely lively.

The small shopping mall that was previously only visited by students from the China Conservatory of Music and some other schools around it immediately became crowded at this time.

Most of the students gathered around the food court in the shopping mall to see if there was anything to eat here.

Only a small number of students would go shopping in the mall inside this shopping mall.

Of course, these students who went shopping in the mall were basically students responsible for logistics work, and they did not have much pressure for the competition.

After all, they don't need to compete, so naturally, they don't care about this matter.

He Shen took all the students and took the car that was called in advance to the Huaguo Conservatory of Music.

This conservatory of music is really the largest and strongest conservatory of music in China. There are more than a dozen concert halls alone.

And...

They also have countless concerts every day to help students understand music better!

He Shen and others looked at the concert notice board placed near the welcome sign, and their faces were not particularly good.

Even if it is now the Huaguo Higher Music Education Competition, the so-called Huaguo Conservatory of Music Internal Competition.

Huaguo Conservatory of Music still arranged countless concerts during this period in various unused concert halls.

What is this? This is completely naked showing off!

Even if all our elite soldiers are sent out to compete with you, our conservatory of music still has countless talents, which allows us to hold concerts every night.

You don't have to think about it to know that these concerts will definitely be above the standard, and there will be no slightest flaws.

After all...

These concerts are for everyone to see!

If there are any problems with these concerts, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music?

These concerts are the facade of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, and there must not be any mistakes!

Qu Shi looked at the densely packed concert signs on it, and his mouth was puffed up.

"How can there be such people? This is too disrespectful to us, right? Who would hold a concert during the competition? This is too disdainful of our coming!"

"That's right, how can this be! Don't we even have the qualifications to make them take it seriously? Really..."

"Yes, even if we can't make them take it seriously, then what about those colleges? Then what about Haicheng Conservatory of Music? Chuanzhou Conservatory of Music? Wuzhou Conservatory of Music? These conservatories, won't they make the Huaguo Conservatory of Music take it seriously?"

"That's right, this is too arrogant!"

"..."

Everyone looked at the sign and wanted to punch it.

Qu Shi looked at He Shen standing there motionless, seemingly not angry at all, and immediately poked He Shen and asked curiously.

"He Shen, are you not angry at all? This clearly shows that you look down on all of us!!!"

He Shen looked at these angry people and shook his head slowly.

"No, I'm not angry."

"Huh? But..."

"Isn't this a good opportunity? Huh?"

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what He Shen was saying at all.

Isn't this humiliating them? How did it become a good opportunity?

They looked at the sign very seriously again, and still shook their heads.

No matter where you look at it, even if you look at it from the gaps between the words, you can't see any good opportunity at all.

There is only one thing that can be seen from this thing...

That is showing off!

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a good opportunity.

Suddenly, a person in the wind instrument section lit up his eyes and asked He Shen tentatively.

"Eh? Teacher, are you saying that we can observe their concerts to see how good they are?"

"Yes! You are right. We are different from other schools. We have no information about the works that other schools are good at. We don't know what works they might play. Isn't it possible for us to go and see?"

"Indeed, we don't have any intelligence now. When we have intelligence, we won't just blow them up? Teacher, am I right?"

"???"

He Shen was stunned. He didn't expect these students to suddenly think of fighting an information war. He couldn't help but say with a strange look.

"No, that's not what I mean."

"Don't you think that the concerts they can put on during the competition are definitely the kind of special concerts?"

"If they are not the strongest foundation, how can they show it?"

"So, isn't this an opportunity?"

"A very good opportunity to learn?"

"???"

"???"

"???"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Their first reaction when they saw the sign was that the Huaguo Conservatory of Music was following them to show off its talent pool.

They didn't think about it at all.

But looking back, thinking carefully, it seems to be true?

That's right, since they can show it, then this must be a very good concert.

This is not for ordinary people like them, but for those large conservatories such as Haicheng Conservatory of Music, Chuanzhou Conservatory of Music, and Yuezhou Conservatory of Music.

If you can't show a good concert, how can you prove the strength of your conservatory of music?

There is definitely no way to prove it!

So...

What is in front of everyone is no longer the ostentatious propaganda board, but a mountain of gold and silver! A mountain of gold and silver of music knowledge!

As long as you study hard, you can definitely learn a lot of very useful content from it.

Everyone immediately put out their own pride, looked at the promotional board in front of them, and recorded the content on it very seriously to see if they could find a concert that suits them.

After recording all the concerts, they nodded with satisfaction and planned to come and see it when they have time.

Why are you still arrogant now? This is equivalent to giving you money. Do you think they are humiliating you?

Sorry, for me, I just want to make money! Please use the money to humiliate me!

They looked at the content above, showing a bit of a masochistic look, looking forward to the concert later.

And after they finished watching the entire content of the concert, they put their eyes on the catalog of the competition.

Unfortunately, after watching those concerts, they couldn't help but feel a little bored when they saw the arrangement of this competition.

Unfortunately, this was the purpose of their coming here, and they could only force themselves to read the content above.

On this particularly large competition card in front of everyone, the competition schedule and the concert hall where each game was held were recorded.

For example, the first and second days of the piano competition were all held in Grand Concert Hall No. 1 and Grand Concert Hall No. 2.

At the beginning of these two concerts, the candidates were screened to eliminate those who came from nowhere and were just filling in the numbers.

The last 100 people were left.

In the second round, the more than 100 people were reduced to the last 30 people.

Further reduction, the last 8 people were selected to decide the winner.

It is worth mentioning that there was no concerto part in this competition, all of which were solo works.

So the difficulty was slightly lowered, and the individual performance level of the performers was more valued.

There was no requirement for the level of the performers' cooperation with the band.

For the sake of fairness, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors from all universities were tested separately.

The rhythm process was particularly tight!

Basically, it was a state of no rest all day long.

The competition started at 9 o'clock in the morning and lasted until 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Rest for an hour, and continue the competition at 2 o'clock, and the competition lasted until 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

After another hour's rest, the competition will start at 7pm and last until 11pm.

Completely, the teachers are used as consumables.

However, all teachers in all schools are required to participate in the scoring of the contestants. They have shifts and will definitely not watch from beginning to end alone, so they are not particularly tired.

Similarly, for the sake of fairness, all teachers are not allowed to participate in the scoring of students in their respective schools and must avoid suspicion.

In addition to the piano, other instruments are actually similar, basically the same.

After all, everyone hopes to end this competition as soon as possible. This competition is during the period close to the winter vacation. It won't be long before everyone needs to go back to celebrate the Spring Festival.

So, if it can be ended as soon as possible, it should be ended as soon as possible, and everyone can go back to celebrate the New Year and have a reunion dinner with their families.

He Shen took a look at the content above, nodded silently, and spoke to everyone.

"Let's go. You guys go get to know your respective competition areas and get familiar with the examination environment. Teacher Qu and I will go to register first."

After saying that, He Shen took Qu Shi and walked towards the sign-in place with a bunch of documents.

The sign-in place was not far away, just near the gate.

He Shen brought Qu Shi to the sign-in place, paused for a moment, waited for his breath to stabilize, and then walked into the house.

There were five long queues in the house, and the other four long queues were crowded. Students and teachers from various unknown schools all came to this place to line up and sign in.

Only the leftmost side was empty.

He Shen glanced at the window of the leftmost road. Before he saw anyone, he saw a pair of shoes.

A man held his head with one hand, swaying a chair, letting the two feet behind the chair poke the floor, with his legs on the table in front of him, playing with his mobile phone and blowing bubble gum.

He Shen glanced at the crowd around him, then at the bored man. Without any hesitation, he walked directly to the man, handed the document in his hand to the man, and said.

"Sign in."

"Sign in, go to the side, can't you see I'm busy?"

The man waved his hand, not paying any attention to He Shen's intention. His hands poked the screen of his mobile phone faster and faster, as if he was playing some game.

He Shen frowned slightly, slapped the document in his hand on the table again, and said.

"Sign in."

"Can't you see I'm busy? Go to the side to sign in, don't bother me, okay, eh, eh, eh eh!!!! Damn, Ma De..."

The man suddenly sat up, the whole person bent over to play with the phone, his eyes were particularly serious, just when he gradually showed a relaxed expression, his hands froze, obviously, the game failed.

He sat up straight, wanted to smash the phone down hard, but looking at the brand new phone in his hand, he hesitated.

Pretending that nothing had happened just now, he put the phone back in his pocket, looked at He Shen with a bad face, and asked viciously.

"Who are you? I told you to sign in somewhere else, but you didn't listen. You insisted on signing in here. Are you sick?"

"Sign in."

He Shen ignored him and handed him the document in his hand, pointing to other teams beside him and said casually.

"The teams beside are full, and there is no one here."

"Fuck..."

The man almost stood up in anger, but looking at the glass in front of him, he finally shook his head and took the notes He Shen handed to him.

"Okay, okay, let me see what school you are from, Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music? Hmm..."

The man looked at the name and was stunned for a while, touching his chin. Suddenly, he clapped his hands hard, his eyes lit up, looked at He Shen, and said with great surprise.

"You, you, you are the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music?"

"Hmm?"

Although He Shen didn't know what he wanted to say, he hesitated for a while and nodded.

"Yes, I'm a teacher at the School of Music of Jiangzhou Normal University. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Is there a problem? Too much!"

The man sat on the stool very seriously, followed He Shen and stretched out his hand, grinning.

"Let me introduce this teacher. My name is Yi Wen. Yi is the Yi of Zhouyi, and Wen is the Wen of characters."

He Shen hesitated for a moment and slowly stretched out his hand.

Just when he was hesitating whether to shake hands, Yi Wen suddenly stretched out his hand, shook his hand, and then suddenly let go, and his body suddenly leaned back.

Putting one leg on the stool, his arm casually rested on his leg, and spoke in a ruffian tone.

"Yes, we shook hands, and we are friends now, so I ask you, have you heard of He Shen from your school?"

"He Shen?"

He Shen glanced at Qu Shi and nodded slowly.

"I've heard of it."

"I've heard of it? That's good. What kind of person is he? Can you tell me more about him?"

When Yi Wen heard He Shen, he immediately became excited. He put his legs down from the chair, clapped his hands on the table, stared at He Shen with wide eyes, and asked excitedly.

He Shen looked at the man in front of him so excited, and looked at Qu Shi again, giving him a look for help.

He really didn't know what kind of person he was in the eyes of others, so...

He Shen could only pin his hopes on Qu Shi.

Qu Shi had been standing aside watching the show. Seeing He Shen suddenly feel a little overwhelmed, she almost covered her mouth and laughed silly.

When she saw He Shen's look for help, she immediately took a step forward and spoke to Yi Wen.

"Ahem, well, He Shen should be considered a legendary figure in our school. He..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Yi Wen frowned and waved at Qu Shi.

"I don't want to hear any of your stories. I just want to know what He Shen's weaknesses are. I don't want to hear any of his legendary experiences!"

"Weaknesses?"

Qu Shi was stunned and looked at He Shen. He Shen didn't know what Yi Wen wanted to do for a while, so he was a little hesitant.

"Well, you asked about He Shen's weaknesses, what do you want to do?"

"Huh? What do you want to do? Of course I want to defeat him! My teacher said he was very powerful, so I have to defeat him and prove that I am more powerful than him! Ahahahahahaha..."

Yi Wen's laughter spread throughout the sign-in area, and everyone looked at Yi Wen with a strange look on their faces.

Yi Wen seemed to enjoy the gazes of these people, and laughed even more wildly.

Qu Shi looked at Yi Wen, feeling a little helpless for a while.

She thought about it, pointed to the list in front of her, and said to Yi Wen.

"So, you sign in for us first, and after you sign in, I will tell you He Shen's weaknesses?"

"Really?"

Yi Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded frantically at Qu Shi.

"You said it, you must not regret it!"

After saying that, Yi Wen immediately took out the notebook in front of him, checked the contents inside, and quickly signed in.

After about five or six minutes, he barely finished signing in and handed the list of He Shen's school back to them.

Attached with it was a piece of paper.

"Yes, I have signed in, and I have entered the competition number of each student into the computer."

"Take this piece of paper and go to the nearby competition entry office and give it to them. They will help you print out your test cards."

"Now, can you tell me where He Shen's weaknesses are?"

He Shen took the piece of paper and the list of students in their school and looked at Qu Shi.

Qu Shi immediately understood and walked in front of Yi Wen. After a moment of silence, he smiled at Yi Wen and said.

"Well, I'll tell you, come closer."

"Okay!"

Yi Wen immediately moved in front of Qu Shi.

Looking at Yi Wen who was so well-behaved, Qu Shi couldn't help but chuckle and said to Yi Wen.

"Well, He Shen's weakness is..."

"What is it?"

"Yes, he likes to eat lollipops very much!"

After that, Qu Shi immediately dragged He Shen and ran outside.

Yi Wen did not stop them, but touched his eyebrows very seriously and began to think seriously.

"Huh? This person likes to eat lollipops?"

"He likes to help eat lollipops, how should I deal with him..."

"Could it be that I buy him lollipops and make him submit to me?"

"It seems... it's not impossible?"
