He seemed to have seen this girl somewhere before.
But he couldn't remember where at the moment.
Standing in the middle of the classroom, Qiao Chen greeted the teachers present. "Good afternoon, teachers. I'm Qiao Chen from... Fifth High School. I'm in my Third Year this year and would like to enroll in the Music Faculty."
Upon mentioning Fifth High School, her eyes flickered with some humiliation.
The only decent school in Rao City was First High School. She had been studying there since her First Year but was forced to transfer out of it because of Qiao Nian. Now, she even had to introduce herself as a student of Fifth High School. How frustrating.
The good thing was that Qiao Nian didn't make it into Qing University.
Standing in the center of the classroom, Qiao Chen felt that she was being looked at from all sides. This actually made her feel better.
Cheng Wu did his part by introducing her to Nie Mi. "Master Nie, I think this student is pretty good. Her document states that she's already passed Grade Eight for piano, and she did well in this examination. She's a talent to be nurtured, would you consider taking her in?"
Nie Mi came only for Qiao Nian. Upon hearing that, a look of frustration flashed on his face. He coldly put down the document in his hands and said, "I'm not the one in charge of enrolling students for the Music
Faculty, and I don't know much about the piano. If I take her in, what am I to teach her, the konghou?"
Qiao Chen was Grade Eight for piano, not for konghou!
Cheng Wu was at a loss for words at his rebuttal. But this was Nie Mi no less, and he couldn't say anything against him. He simply accepted the curt statements and said as naturally as possible, "I don't mean that, please don't get angry, Master Nie. Ah, take it that I didn't say anything. Don't take it to heart."
He turned to look at Qiao Chen with some regret.
