“I know that this suggestion seems a little abrupt and ridiculous now, but we really have no choice. B City is a city with a very strong piano foundation, and there are also Floyd and Grinton, two top art schools! We’ve already seen the video of Su Qing playing the piano previously. I don’t think there’s anyone more suitable than her and Yan Bei!”
“Su Qing and Yan Bei’s attainments in the piano are simply a match made in heaven! Their rare talents shouldn’t be buried like this, so I’m here. I want to invite her to participate in this competition with Yan Bei as a very important contestant representing the entire B City, and our orchestra! I think I was quite clear in my explanation, but do you have any other questions? I’m willing to answer them for you!”
Hearing Yan Xing’s explanation, Su Lu slowly frowned. He retracted his gaze from Su Yan and turned to look at Yan Xi, who was sitting opposite him. A faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips!
Yan Xi seemed to have seen something in Su Lu’s eyes. He sighed softly and explained, “I know that there was some misunderstanding between Qingqing and Yan Bei previously, but aren’t they both children?! How can there be overnight feuds between children? I don’t think your Qingqing is someone who holds grudges. Besides, it’s a good thing that she accepts the invitation of the orchestra to participate in such an international competition with Yan Bei!
This is also beneficial to your Qingqing!”
“The key is that this opportunity is really rare. If we miss this opportunity, we’ll have to wait for another four years! Old Su, do you know the nature of that competition? Anyone who is invited is a famous pianist in the world! This is the first time our Yan Bei has been invited. This is an honor!”
After Yan Xi finished speaking, he realized that Su Lu didn’t seem to be listening seriously. He continued to ask gloomily, “I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?”
When Su Lu heard this, he slowly looked up at Yan Xi. After some thought, he sighed and replied, “The competition you’re talking about might indeed be very good! However, what does this have to do with our Qingqing? Putting aside the fact that your invitation is very abrupt and strange, I just want to ask Yan Bei and you, why do the two of you think Qingqing will agree to this invitation?”
“When has our Qingqing ever expressed that she wants to be a musician? She has never said anything like this, not to my knowledge! Therefore, I feel that I can’t help you with this matter. Also, our Qingqing is still filming overseas. Even if she’s interested in this competition, she won’t be able to leave and won’t have time! It’s useless for you to mention it to me!”
As Su Lu spoke, he glanced at Yan Xing, who was beside Yan Bei, and continued without a pause, “Thank you for your orchestra’s interest in Qingqing, but we really don’t have any plans in this aspect. Firstly, she’s really not interested, and secondly, she really doesn’t have time! Therefore, I’m afraid we can’t accept your invitation! I’m sorry!”
Yan Bei didn’t expect Su Lu to reject him so directly. He thought that Su Lu would at least go back and discuss it with Su Qing before making a decision. This completely disrupted Yan Bei’s plan. He looked at Su Yan in panic, subconsciously wanting to find some confidence from her.
Su Yan gave Yan Bei a calm gaze. After pondering for a while, she replied to Su
Lu, “We were indeed presumptuous in this matter. It’s normal for Third Young Master to feel that it’s sudden and strange! We respect Miss Su Qing’s and your choices! However, this opportunity is indeed very rare. If possible, I hope that Third Young Master can pass this message to Miss Su and ask her to consider it carefully! It’s not like we have no choice. After all, there are still many people who want to cooperate with us and Yan Bei!”
After Su Lu heard Yan Xing’s words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that he understood.. Although his expression didn’t show it, he was already starting to doubt himself and wonder if he was really overthinking!
