She seemed like a creator, standing high above the stage, deserving the adoration of everyone.
This was the magic of piano music.
Even those who didn’t understand music were stirred by Mei Shu’s piece, their hearts surging, and their bodies craving a vent for their pent-up emotions.
But they could only sit here and express their appreciation for Mei Shu’s heartfelt performance with thunderous applause.
Someone couldn’t contain their excitement and personally walked to the front of the stage, presenting Mei Shu with a bouquet of flowers, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.
Feng Wei sat on the judging panel with a grim expression.
She didn’t expect Mei Shu to have such impressive piano skills.
The emotions conveyed in her piece were something Mei Mu could never learn.
And based on that alone, Mei Mu probably could never surpass her.

But the thought of Mei Mu still lying in the hospital and Mei Shu using the dirtiest means to step on this stage made Feng Wei unable to forgive Mei Shu no matter what.
After a while, the applause gradually died down.
Chen Jian had been observing Feng Wei’s expression. At this moment, he hesitantly asked, “After listening to her performance, are you still going to do that?”
Feng Wei glared at him as if he had touched a sore spot, “I will never allow someone like her to continue playing the piano!”
Her meaning was clear.
Chen Jian looked with regret at the girl on the stage.
He really didn’t understand how this girl had offended the petty-minded Feng Wei. Otherwise, he was confident that the championship of this competition would undoubtedly belong to Mei Shu.
Although he hadn’t listened to the performances of the other dozens of contestants.
Finally, it was time for the tense scoring phase.
Everyone was looking forward to Mei Shu breaking records and achieving the highest score in years.
However, no one expected that the average score given to Mei Shu by the judges was only 93.8 points.
How was that possible?
How could her score be lower than the one given to the previous contestant?
Even those who didn’t understand music could hear the huge difference in skill between the two performances.
Someone couldn’t help but call out in confusion, “Did they make a mistake? How could the score be this low?”
The host awkwardly held the score sheet, looking at Feng Wei and Chen Jian on the judging panel with an unnatural expression. He smiled and explained to the audience, “The average score is calculated by the computer, and it cannot be wrong. Please be patient, everyone.”
“Thank you, Mei Shu, for your passionate performance. Let us continue to enjoy the next performance.”
Mei Shu frowned slightly, and when she caught a glimpse of the smug smile at the corner of Feng Wei’s mouth, she understood and withdrew her gaze, “I have something else to say, is that okay?”
The host was taken aback.
This was definitely not a routine part of the competition.
However, this girl had extraordinary skills, and her score fell far short of expectations. She probably had some doubts she wanted to raise, so he handed the microphone to her and said, “Sure, Mei Shu.”
Mei Shu thanked softly and turned to face the audience again. She took a deep breath and spoke firmly, “First of all, thank you all for liking my performance. Your appreciation has been fully conveyed to me. Regardless of my final score, 1 won’t forget your support. Thank you again to all the audience and the fair and impartial five judges.”
After speaking, Mei Shu bowed deeply to the audience, her beautiful face even more charming with the bouquet of flowers in her arms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe host never expected Mei Shu would say this.
He thought the girl would question the judges about the obviously unfair score.
[Congratulations, the Host has gained a significant amount of goodwill in a short time. Charm value +100, influence +50, piano skills reaching their peak.]
Mei Shu slightly curved her lips and proudly smiled as she bent down.
This was the effect she wanted.
Upon hearing Mei Shu’s words, Feng Wei’s face instantly changed, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her palms.
Sure enough, the other judges sitting beside her also began to question the final score.
A judge who admired Mei Shu a lot opened her microphone and asked her colleagues in front of the entire audience, “I gave this student a perfect score. Why did she only receive 93 points? Who among you demanded such strict standards? How could you not be moved by such a brilliant performance?”
Her question naturally represented the doubts of everyone present.
The entire hall’s gaze focused on the judging panel for a moment.
Feng Wei never expected Mei Shu to pull off such a stunt before leaving the stage. She had hated her to the bone, but she had restrained her emotions in the end. She put on a cold and indifferent attitude, “Judge Zhang, during the competition, the judges are not allowed to collaborate on the scores. Haven’t you forgotten about this rule?”
Judge Zhang frowned, “Could it be that Chairwoman Feng is dissatisfied with this student’s performance?”
“I never said that.” Feng Wei was confident that the scores she and Chen Jian gave wouldn’t be revealed, so she acted recklessly to serve her own interests.
The host noticed that the atmosphere was becoming somewhat strange and quickly intervened, “Mei Shu’s performance was indeed outstanding, but not achieving the desired result in a formal competition is a hardship that everyone must experience in life..”
