However, before the whispering in the audience had quieted down, Li Zhen’s next move also stunned them.

The handsome boy flashed a bright smile at Mei Shu and said sweetly, “Mei Shu, then I’ll also wait for your good news!”

After saying that, he sat directly in the seat behind Lu Yan.

In an instant, the two most attention-grabbing boys in the school were now standing in Mei Shu’s camp.

Zhou Li was so angry that she almost dug her nails into her flesh.

But Mei Shu remained indifferent.

It seemed that everything happening around her was of no importance to her

“I won’t let you win! I will definitely win!” Zhou Li declared confidently, and she was the first to go up and sit in front of the piano.

The piece she was going to perform was melodious and soothing, fitting well with the image she had built for herself in the school. Combined with her outstanding piano skills, even students who didn’t understand music could tell how excellent her technique was.

Zhao Min sat in the audience, concentrating on listening. After Zhou Li finished playing, she naturally received a deafening applause from the audience, but she shook her head lightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Zhou Li’s performance.

Hu Xin, another music teacher at the school, noticed Zhao Min’s disappointment and smirked provocatively, “What? Can’t even such beautiful piano music please Teacher Zhao’s ears?”

Hearing her voice, Zhao Min furrowed her eyebrows.

She knew very well that she and Hu Xin had never gotten along, and she was aware of the animosity Hu Xin had towards her.

Hu Xin had always wanted to replace her as the head piano teacher at Yi Zhong, but her skills were not on par with Zhao Min’s, so she couldn’t get promoted by the school administration.

Therefore, Hu Xin considered Zhao Min as a thorn in her side.

Moreover, she had heard that Hu Xin was behind the sudden appearance of Zhou Li before the competition.

Hu Xin saw that Zhao Min didn’t respond, so she coldly said, “Let’s have Teacher Zhao give her opinion!”

Now that Zhou Li’s popularity was high, once Zhao Min spoke negatively about her, she would likely face the students’ backlash. Besides, Zhao Min had heard that Mei Shu, who was personally selected by her, couldn’t play the piano at all.

If Zhou Li represented the school in the competition and achieved good results, Hu Xin’s name would be written on the position of the head teacher.

With this achievement, Hu Xin was not afraid of being unable to replace Zhao Min!

As soon as Hu Xin finished speaking, everyone’s gaze fell on Zhao Min, even the school leaders looked at her seriously.

Zhao Min knew she couldn’t avoid it and could only stand up and walk up to the stage. She held a professional attitude and commented, “Zhou Li’s grasp of the sheet music is precise, and throughout her performance, there were almost no mistakes. If this were a graded exam, I believe she would easily achieve level ten.”

Hearing this statement, the audience became even more excited!

Some couldn’t help provoking Wen Miao in her direction, but they were glared at by both Lu Yan and Li Zhen and shut up out of fear.

Just when they thought Mei Shu had no need to go on stage again, Zhao Min’s tone changed, “However, both Zhou Li and Mei Mu share a fatal flaw. I didn’t feel any emotion from them throughout their performances. As a pianist, one cannot just play sheet music like a machine. In a formal competition, this lack of emotion is enough to create a gap between them and real masters.”

Now the audience on Zhou Li’s side couldn’t remain calm.

Zhao Min’s evaluation had left no room for sentimentality, and some people disagreed.

“Teacher, I’m also learning piano. Although my piano skills aren’t as good as Zhou Li’s, I can tell how precise her grasp of the sheet music is! The emotions she infused into the piece were far from as bland as you said!”

This rebuttal resonated with most of the students.

In fact, most of them couldn’t understand the deeper meaning of the piece, but they blindly believed that Zhou Li was the best. Moreover, some students who could play the piano also stood up to defend Zhou Li.

Zhao Min turned to the student who spoke and said firmly, “I said she’s familiar with sheet music, but that doesn’t mean her emotions can reach the same level as her piano skills. If you don’t believe it, you can listen to Mei Shu’s interpretation.”

This was a blatant bias towards Mei Shu, as if she was better than Zhou Li, right?

The students below were now speculating about the relationship between Zhao Min and Mei Shu.

After all, they knew that Zhao Min had always been fond of Mei Mu in the past, and now she was showing such high regard for Mei Shu. Could it be that she was trying to curry favor with the Mei family?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt this possibility. Students who had previously respected Zhao Min now looked at her with a hint of disdain.

A teacher who couldn’t achieve fairness naturally couldn’t convince the students.

Hu Xin listened to the students’ derogatory comments about Mei Shu and Zhao Min with excitement, and a triumphant smile played on her lips.

Just wait and see. She would definitely make Zhao Min realize who was more suitable to be the head piano teacher at N0..1 High School!
