"Alright, begin!"Pompidou made a gesture and the examinees all lifted their violins to begin.Gu Jiuci lifted her violin single-handedly and kept everyone waiting as she adjusted her position."How do you have the nerve to say you can defeat me with just this level of skill?"Daisy spoke disdainfully and made the other people laugh. Even a few of the examiners shook their heads with disappointment.Gu Jiuci ignored them and adjusted the violin until it was in a position that pleased her.The violin piece was one that combined a leisurely pace with a quick rhythm. As it continuously changed speeds and needed to be performed with depth and feeling, it was very difficult.In less than a minute, the examiners had already stopped five to six people and indicated that they could put down their violins and leave.The other people present stared with wide eyes."So strict, they don't even let them finish...""But the standards of the Juilliard teachers are high. Haven't you noticed
"Thank you."Gu Jiuci politely shook Pompidou's hand with a slight smile."The Juilliard School has always been my dream. Thank you for giving me an opportunity."Gu Jiuci let out a long breath. Her heart finally settled. Daisy had been a strong opponent and she had only won by a little. Fortunately, she had put her own foot in her mouth."We look forward to your performance, Gu Jiuci."Afterward, the four of them filled out some forms with the help of the assistant teacher, then they left together.Going out, they saw Daisy also standing by the side of the road. Beside her was a limited edition Rolls-Royce. Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes. It was a custom-made model, even more luxurious than a limited edition model.A golden-haired, blue-eyed woman climbed out of the car. It was probably Daisy's mom. After hearing a few words from Daisy, she immediately looked toward Gu Jiuci.In that instant, Gu Jiuci saw her entire face. For some reason, her heart trembled and goosebumps broke ou
"Dajue Temple's vegetarian restaurant is very famous. It doesn't lose to the five-star restaurants at the foot of the mountain. It won't disappoint you."Shen Jianxing added on and Gu Jiuci rubbed her stomach."Then let's go. I'm starving!"Arriving at Dajue Temple, Gu Jiuci finally saw the extravagance of the imperial capital's most popular temple. The long line to pray stretched 100 meters beyond the temple gates.Ji Weiran hurried to join the line and couldn't even get a number."I'm sorry, benefactor. Dajue Temple's worshippers are limited in number. There are no more numbers left for today, please come back tomorrow.""My god, it's only the afternoon and there are no more numbers? How will I redeem my vow?"Ji Weiran immediately panicked and her mood soured.Seeing the situation, Gu Jiuci could only comfort her by saying, "Let's go eat first. After the National College Entrance Exam is over, we'll come back with you to redeem your vow?""I guess that's the only way. I hop
@Aunt Entertainment: "She's only taking part in the exam, and it's not like she's passed. Does she really need to show off like this? For her to do this right after gaining some positive attention makes me want to dislike her."@Insider Gossip: "Watch as the nobody artist shows off her character and immediately fail! Hahahaha!"@Am I Cool Today: "Unknown actors like this have no holding power. They get high on any little positive attention. She wants to sell the genius student character? I'm in the music profession. In China, Juilliard only accepts two students into their violin major. She's just going to have fun, and if she's actually good, then post a photo of the acceptance notification!"This ID immediately liked and shared the Am I Cool Today's comment and boosted it to the first place.His authoritative comment made those who were uncertain of the situation immediately develop feelings of irritation toward Gu Jiuci.Still... Gu Jiuci's specialty was dealing with those who d
Probably because Yu Gu's mother had made too much of a fuss and because the Yu Family was facing imminent bankruptcy, Xu Yun'er and Yu Gu had both been at home and not out causing chaos. So, Gu Jiuci had a few rare days of peace and quiet.Additionally, the National College Entrance Exam was finally here.Early in the morning, Gu Jiuci and her classmates took a school bus to the designated exam location. Before they even disembarked, they saw a crowd of parents outside the exam location.Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure among the crowd...Gu Jiuci smiled and waved in that direction. Unexpectedly, her second brother had come to wish her luck!"Ci! Look here!"Outside the exam location, her second brother, Gu Qijue, ran to the barrier and raised an SLR camera high in his hand as he shouted at Gu Jiuci.This was the first turning point of his sister's life, so he had to record it carefully.At this moment, her eldest brother, Gu Qian, finally fought his way free of the crowd an
As she walked, she kept turning back to search through the sea of people. She was still waiting for one person to appear."Gu Jiuci, there's no need to look. Brother Mingche doesn't care about you, all right? I heard that he left the country today."Suddenly, out of nowhere, Jiang Min approached Gu Jiuci and spoke in a mocking tone."How did you know he would leave the country today?"Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes slightly and looked unhappily at Jiang Min.Having been asked, Jiang Min immediately revealed a pleased smile."That's because Brother Mingche likes my sister. Right after she left the country to film a program, Brother Mingche immediately followed after her. Brother Mingche doesn't care about you at all. He won't come to wish you luck. I urge you to see yourself clearly as soon as possible and withdraw from the marriage with Brother Mingche! You'll be abandoned eventually and it will embarrass the entire Gu Family!"Gu Jiuci just rolled her eyes and didn't even bother re
"Was it you who picked that flower for me back then? Brother Che?" Gu Jiuci asked uncertainly."Mhm. Didn't you say it is your lucky flower?"The man nodded slightly and calmly admitted to it.Gu Jiuci's heart thudded painfully, then warmth spread into her limbs and made her eyes tear-up slightly.So it was he who had risked his life to pick a flower because of her unthinking words. Many years later, he still remembered her careless words and had taken them seriously.Even she, who had spoken these careless words, had already forgotten about it, but he had not."I've forgotten too many important things!""Mhm! It's my lucky flower."Gu Jiuci sniffed and accepted the flower from the devil. She tied the ends and wore it like a bracelet on her wrist."I will do well!""As long as you're happy."The man smiled rigidly. He tried to smile to help Gu Jiuci relax.Although it was a bit forced, his handsome face was enough to make anyone fall over with just a casual smile.An abrup
"Yun'er, you..."Su Furong hadn't expected her daughter to say something like this and her eyes immediately widened in surprise.Yet, Xu Yun'er didn't think her words had hurt her mom and walked off without looking back.And so, she didn't see the silent tears that ran down her mom's face as she watched her walk away....The three days of the National College Entrance Exam was finally over.Gu Jiuci only now learned that Huo Mingche had pushed back an important overseas trip by three days so that he could cheer her on.At the airport, Gu Jiuci tugged on the corner of the devil's clothes as the unhappiness of separation rose in her heart.When the devil had gone on business trips previously, she hadn't felt anything. For some reason this time, when she remembered that she wouldn't see him for a few days, the home in her heart immediately became empty.To the side, the executives couldn't keep waiting and they glanced meaningfully at Ye Kan and Xiang Heng.Ye Kan and Xiang Hen
