William and David returned to the training room, summoning all the members. Looking at the girls, who were as beautiful as flowers, William's face was stern with a hint of anger, "What the hell!? On the first day of the training camp, you've already caused this much trouble. If you don't want to stay in the camp, you can all get lost!"The girls stood silently, all bowing their heads, hardly daring to even breathe. When David had asked them to leave earlier, they hadn't taken him seriously, though they had been a bit scared. They didn't think the organizers would give David that much power. After all, out of their group of twenty-five, twenty-three had left. Only Maria and Linda remained. How would they continue the competition?But now, when William himself had spoken, they didn't dare to question it anymore. Seeing their fearful expressions, William's mood improved slightly, "Yoyo has already left the camp. If you don't want to follow her, train seriously and stop playing games!
Linda's face instantly wrinkled up. That 'who' he had mentioned was obviously her!"Teacher David, I may not necessarily drag Maria down..."Seeing that David was about to explode, Maria hurriedly grabbed his hand. "Teacher David, my level is similar to Linda. There's no such thing as holding someone back. Moreover, two people have five minutes to perform, and one person only has two minutes. It's clear that one plus one is greater than two. How can I not take such an advantage?"David originally wanted to say something else, but seeing the eager looks from Maria and Linda, he decided not to say anything further."Alright then."He took his thermos cup and sat down on the nearby couch. "Come, let's discuss the songs you guys want to choose."Seeing his agreement, Linda excitedly linked arms with Maria and hopped over. Andrew and Patrick also followed them with a shared smile.Once they had all sat down, David turned his gaze to Maria and asked directly, "Maria, do you have any though
As soon as Maria left, Linda became a little restless, she was just too curious about what Maria might be up to in the training camp.Finally, when she saw Maria return, she hastily stood and jogged over, "Maria, you're back?"Maria lifted the bag in her hand, "We don't need to go to the canteen for lunch, we can eat here.""Hm?"Linda looked at the big bag that Maria was carrying, curiously asking, "Did you go out to get food?"Maria couldn't help but laugh, "They won't let us leave the training camp, are you silly?""Right."Linda facepalmed and followed Maria to the side of the coffee table. When she saw Maria pulling out each box of food, she suddenly had an epiphany, shocked she cried, "Don't tell me Charles came?"Maria, startled, turned around and covered her mouth, "Lower your voice!""Mm..."Linda nodded vigorously, waiting for Maria to let go of her mouth. She then excitedly but quietly asked, "Did your husband come?""Mm."Maria told Amy about her future plans to date Charl
The following day, at noon.All the camp trainees were eating in a common cafeteria, which was more like a buffet.Most of the food, however, was western-style: mostly bread, cakes, beef, and potatoes.A lot of people, including Mia, were not accustomed to it.But what could she do if she was not accustomed to it? She couldn't possibly starve herself, could she?These few days, she had mixed well with Lucy and the others. Seeing her eating alone at a long table, Lucy and a few girls walked over."Mia, didn't your teacher come with you for the camp?"Mia’s hand, that held the fork, violently jolted. Her eyes instantly dimmed, "He did, but he was busy these past two days.""What could he be so busy with?" Lucy casually observed her while eating, "Accompanying you to this camp is the big deal. Don't you know the first open competition will eliminate half of the participants? If he doesn't guide you at this crucial time, is he planning to do it when you are eliminated?""Hahahaha..."The
Andrew looked at her righteous appearance, a flash of hurt crossing his eyes. He tugged at his lips, letting out a faintly mocking smile. "Is that really the case?""Then what?"Mia crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at Andrew irritably. "My piano skills were not taught by you. I did not accept you as my teacher. Go and teach your students. Why should you care about me?""Ah..."Andrew shook his head. Could he still not understand Mia’s thoughts?She clearly despised him for not being a famous pianist. Forget it.He waved his hand and turned to leave. "Since you don't want me to teach you, I won't force it."As Mia watched his retreating figure, she snorted disdainfully and felt no guilt at all. She turned and entered the practice room.Along the way, Andrew had experienced quite a bumpy journey of emotions. He had never expected his own daughter to despise him.Back in their homeland, she had begged him to help her in the piano industry. Now that she was abroad, she looked d
The last day arrived quickly.On the last day, everyone was training very hard. After all, no one wanted to be eliminated right in the first public competition.Maria and Linda arrived very early. Maria’s hand was fully healed. Once they arrived at the practice room, they started practicing piano.David also got up early today. In the previous days, he would go to other practice rooms every morning to guide students other than Maria and Linda. Today, he walked straight into the practice room of Maria and Linda.As soon as he got to the door, he was so surprised that his eyes widened."What the-!"He walked in incredulously, "When did you guys get a second piano in this practice room?"Indeed, all practice rooms had only one piano, but they had two!Nancy turned around, stood up politely, and respectfully replied, “Linda and I are doing a duet, so I went to William a few days ago and told him the situation. He then had someone prepare a second piano for us.""What!?!"This time, Davi
Tomorrow?Yes, tomorrow is the first public competition of the training camp!The one hundred pianists who had entered the training camp had all got up early and, after carefully dressing up, entered the competition venue hand in hand with their teachers.The public competition is different from other competitions. Participants don't need to prepare backstage. All competitors sit below the stage and perform one by one according to the draw.The piano is already a noble piece of music. The family conditions of these pianists are quite good. After all, the cheapest piano costs several tens of thousands. Not to mention spending money on piano lessons every week. This is not something that ordinary families can afford.So, the public competition does not invite many spectators. But for the people in Brussels, the status of these spectators is either rich or noble.The audience was the first to enter the venue, and then they saw one by one young pianists from various countries entering th
Maria's face finally darkened, and there was anger rolling in her amber eyes."Do you not know that it's rude to point at someone with your finger?" she said. "Even if you don't know my teacher, he is older than you in terms of age. If we were in my country, it would be considered light to hit you once. We would directly cut off your hand, believe it or not!"Rivata was not easily frightened. She had merely pointed at Andrew and then been hit by Maria. How could she possibly be convinced?She raised her hand again, pointing at Andrew, "I'm pointing at him! How about it? If you have the guts, cut off my hand, dare you?"Maria had previously appeared to be pitiable in front of Mia because Andrew had been holding Mia hand at the time, grasping her weakness. But this did not mean that Maria was easy to bully.Without hesitating, she raised her hand and delivered a firm slap.There was another "pa" sound. Rivata's hand immediately began to swell, showing just how hard Maria had hit her.Ri
