Chapter 284: Master Wei’s Apprentice

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Master Wei had not accepted disciples for so many years. The new members who joined the association every year were extremely outstanding violin students in the country, all of whom he hadn’t looked upon.

Everyone thought he wouldn’t accept disciples, but who knew he would silently accept one?

From time to time, guests whispered to each other on the side. “Master Wei actually accepted a disciple?”

“Who is Qin Ran? I’ve never heard of her.”

“Master Wei is so picky, it’s not easy to be looked upon by him.”

“…”

Hearing these, Lin Wan felt certain that she hadn’t read wrongly. At this time, she felt like she was being bombed by five peals of thunder in an instant.

1

She reached out involuntarily to grab Qin Yu’s wrist. “Yu- Yu’er, is Qin Ran’s name written on it?”

Qin Yu also pursed her lips. After finding out about the fifth-grade student two days ago, she had already guessed that the teachers in the association would scramble for this new student…

Who knew that Master Wei, who never accepted disciples, would actually accept her!

“It’s Qin Ran, but it’s not the same person you’re thinking of.” For some reason, Qin Yu felt very vexed. She said directly, “She’s a freshman of our association this year, reaching the fifth grade as soon as she joined.”

“Really?” Lin Wan heaved a sigh of relief at Qin Yu’s reassuring words. It was fine if it wasn’t her…

“Otherwise?” Qin Yu glanced at the “Chief Disciple” above and said sarcastically, “With her skills and lack of practice for several years, could she become a fifth-grade student? How could it be her?!”

When Qin Ran first went to the Lin family’s house, she had said that she was no longer learning from Teacher Xu from Ninghai Town.

Qin Yu clearly remembered Ning Qing being annoyed for a long time because of this.

Lin Wan also returned to her senses.

If Qin Ran indeed had been accepted as Master Wei’s apprentice, the Lin family would have caught wind of it, but no news had been received.

1

Lin Wan felt like she must have been stupefied by Qin Ran’s college entrance examination results recently, so she immediately thought that Master Wei was talking about the same Qin Ran.

Beside them, Dai Ran also stared at the billboard for a long time. His smile faded, and it was a long time before he raised his foot and walked inside.

Calming down, Lin Wan also followed along with Qin Yu.

The banquet hall was huge, and the waiters moved in between the crowds. It was a level of grandness that Qin Yu and Lin Wan had never seen before.

They had never seen the guests who came and went either. They didn’t dare to move much and only followed behind Dai Ran, who held a wine glass and occasionally introduced people to them.

Only today did they manage to reach the tip of the iceberg in the Beijing circle.

**

At 6:50, Secretary Li and Cheng Wenru also arrived at the door of the hotel.

Secretary Li handed over the invitation, then threw the car key to a security officer. Someone came directly to help them park the car.

Many reporters had stopped around.

They were reporters and not the paparazzi.

These reporters had been invited by regular newspapers.

“There are even reporters?” Cheng Wenru wore a red gown, and her curly hair draped loosely behind her head, outlining her perfect figure.

Secretary Li followed her and felt very strange. “It seems to be on a big scale.”

“Chairman Cheng.” Zhang Xiangge saw them when they came in and quickly greeted her.

Cheng Wenru glanced at him. She had a good memory and recognized him as someone who often followed behind Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying. She nodded slightly at him. “Do you know what’s going on here today?”

Zhang Xiangge was a smooth and evasive person. The Zhang family itself couldn’t be compared to the Cheng and Xu families, but his social skills were terrifying, and he had even managed to mix into Cheng Juan’s circle, the circle most difficult to integrate into. Hence, this person was definitely intelligent and sociable.

“Today is Master Wei’s apprenticeship reception.” Zhang Xiangge followed Cheng Wenru like a lackey.

“Apprenticeship?” Cheng Wenru nodded slightly. She didn’t know much about the violin and didn’t know what Master Wei’s apprenticeship meant. “Then his apprentice must be very outstanding.”

Although she didn’t know about the violin, she knew of Master Wei’s popularity in Continent M.

Continent M gathered forces from all over the world, so it wasn’t easy to hold a reputation there.

The families in Beijing had already expanded towards Continent M, but too many countries in the world had too much power. It wasn’t easy for a power to enter Continent M, and if careless, they could be swallowed by Continent M and be left with nothing.

Zhang Xiangge said, “Chairman Cheng, I heard that Miss Qin is in Beijing? The last time we met, I invited her to walk around Beijing. I can’t believe a year passed by so soon.”

“You know Qin Ran?” At the mention of her, Cheng Wenru’s expression changed a little, and she raised her delicate eyebrow.

“October last year…” When Zhang Xiangge saw the change in her expression, he knew her attitude towards Qin Ran and quickly talked about Qin Ran and Cheng Juan’s party last year.

They walked inside while chatting.

A poster was still hung at the entrance of the banquet hall, but the two of them were talking of Qin Ran along the way and didn’t notice.

Secretary Li, following behind them, noticed it and paused. He said suddenly, “Miss, wait a minute.”

“What is it?” Cheng Wenru folded her arms and paused slightly.

Zhang Xiangge also stopped and saw Secretary Li looking at the door. He followed his gaze and saw the billboard of the chief disciple—

Oh, it was Qin Ran.

Zhang Xiangge was taken aback.

Cheng Wenru also realized now why Cheng Juan had given her this invitation. This turned out to be Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet?

She also knew that Qin Ran practiced the violin every night.

She hadn’t been bothered, since she had also learned a musical instrument when she was a child. She had followed a teacher and could play a piece of complete music impressively in the eyes of amateurs.

But it hadn’t been enough in the eyes of professionals.

She originally thought Qin Ran was also like that. After all, she had heard of her family environment, so she didn’t expect her to play this well to be accepted by Master Wei!

“Miss Qin turned out to be Master Wei’s apprentice?” Zhang Xiangge also reacted. No wonder Cheng Wenru was here.

He felt a little puzzled inside. Beijing’s circle had been circulating around Qin Ran since last year.

He didn’t know where the rumors had come from, but almost everyone in the circle knew that Cheng Juan had a village girl next to him. As for the college entrance examination a month ago, the Cheng family had even found a university for her…

Zhang Xiangge had met her once in the Heaven Clubhouse before and didn’t know much about her, but he knew that Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Juan both valued her, so they hadn’t discussed her with the group.

Right now, Zhang Xiangge felt like Qin Ran might be different from what they imagined…

“It’s probably Ran Ran.” Cheng Wenru nodded.

After seeing Qin Ran’s drawer, she felt like this matter wasn’t so difficult to accept.

The two went in. Cheng Wenru was familiar with the place and quickly found Cheng Juan sitting on the sofa in the corner.

Along the way, several people recognized Cheng Wenru and approached to greet her.

But after seeing Cheng Juan on the sofa, their expressions changed quickly and they left instantly.

“You didn’t tell me about Master Wei.” Cheng Wenru picked up a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray and looked at him condescendingly.

Fixated on a spot, Cheng Juan didn’t look at her and just said calmly, “Now you know?”

Cheng Wenru followed his gaze and looked over.

Qin Ran and Master Wei were coming down the spiral staircase.

The people invited today had been carefully selected by Master Wei to pave the way for Qin Ran. It wasn’t only because she was his chief disciple, but also because of Chen Shulan’s instructions on her deathbed.

“Ran Ran, this world is much bigger than what you can see. There are many forces you can’t see.” Master Wei lowered his voice. “Don’t think that today is the end. Today is the starting point of your stepping in the world.”

2

He walked a few steps forward and introduced an elder to Qin Ran. “This is the Vice President of the Continent M’s association. You can call him Teacher Engel. As for Continent M, I’ll explain it to you two months later…”

1

“Teacher Engel.” Qin Ran greeted very politely.

The Vice President sized Qin Ran up and then raised his glass at Master Wei. “This is the apprentice you chose? I look forward to her.”

Then, he glanced at Qin Ran. “I heard from your teacher that you’re in the fifth grade, and he also said you’ll reach the sixth grade in two months. I’m looking forward to you and also anticipating your arrival as the new member of Continent M.”

After they greeted each other, Master Wei took her to greet some other people.

Engel stared at Qin Ran’s back, stirring his glass wine, feeling a little strange. “I keep thinking she looks a little familiar…”

1

The person beside him thought for a while and replied, “Maybe because the people in the East look similar.”

Engel squinted slightly. “Really?”

At the same time, Lin Wan and Qin Yu followed behind Dai Ran.

Dai Ran was almost second only to Master Wei in the Violin Association and was also very capable. But that was only in the Violin Association. When the structure was enlarged, like in Beijing, the difference between him and Master Wei was blatant.

Qin Yu followed Dai Ran, who also introduced people to her.

When they finished talking, they saw Lin Wan holding a glass of wine and staring at a spot, dazed.

As the main character today, Master Wei always moved where the crowd was. Lin Wan naturally noticed him and was staring intently in his direction.

“Aunt?” Qin Yu called to her, following her gaze, puzzled.

Happening to see Master Wei introducing Engel to Qin Ran, she was stunned.

1

Dai Ran had finished his glass of wine and was putting it on the waiter’s tray while taking another.

“Are you looking at Mr. Engel?” He noticed Qin Yu’s gaze. “Mr. Engel is the Vice President of Continent M’s Association and the head of the Continent M’s Royal Recital Hall. He’s the doorman of the Mas family. Yu’er, you have to seize the opportunity to join the Continent M’s Association this summer.”

“N… no.” Lin Wan stared in Qin Ran’s direction intently. “Why is Qin Ran here?”

Dai Ran turned and glanced at Lin Wan. “Qin Ran? She’s this year’s fifth-grade freshman in the association. For the first time in so many years, there’s a student who reached the fifth grade upon joining the association. She’s now Wei Lin’s apprentice. Do you know her?”
