Chapter 1170: The Hidden Rules of the Scene
"Yes, I originally wanted to come and see the venue and get familiar with the competition environment, but it was closed and I couldn't go in... You too?"
Qin Yang answered and looked at the man in front of him. He was wearing a casual suit, had a handsome face, and looked quite elegant.
The man smiled and said, "Yes... The competition hasn't started yet today, and the place is still being set up. I'm afraid it's not easy to get in."
Qin Yang reached out and smiled, "Isn't it? It seems that we can only go shopping to kill time."
The man glanced at Han Qingqing and smiled, "I came here to talk to a friend. My friend will come out to pick me up. If you want to go in, I can take you in."
Qin Yang didn't want to owe anyone a favor for no reason, so he declined politely, "No need to bother. Anyway, the museum will open tomorrow morning, so you can come earlier then."
The man smiled and said, "That's different. The official competition will start tomorrow. If you want to get familiar with the competition environment or play the piano, you won't have the chance. You can only wait to enter."
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can I play the piano at the assessment venue today?"
The man nodded, "Originally, it was not allowed, but my friend is on the organizing committee of this competition. Going in early to get familiar with the venue, play a little, and find the feeling of the competition is still very helpful for the competition."
Qin Yang's eyes lit up slightly. Isn't this a backdoor way of using the unspoken rules?
Everyone knows that if you can practice in the competition environment in advance, you will definitely be more proficient in the real competition, and you will not be affected by the unfamiliar environment. This is like many driving schools now have a pre-test familiarization arrangement. On the day before the test, take the reference students to the real test site of the driving school to run two laps to familiarize yourself with the site. It will be easier to pass the test the next day.
This operation is naturally not arranged in the formal process, but the result of private collusion between some relevant people, which is commonly known as the backdoor. Students have to pay to participate in this kind of simulation test. Students increase the chance of passing the test, and the relevant people get benefits.
The man in front of him is obviously also a kind of person who uses relationships to go through the backdoor.
Qin Yang was also slightly moved for a while. He participated in the dispatch group this time. The group is full of real masters. He is a novice and has never participated in any piano competition. He doesn’t even know what the competition process is. If he can enter the test site to practice a few times in advance, he will naturally be more comfortable in the competition tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then!"
The man smiled and said, "It's just a little help. I'm going in anyway. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Dai Yun, a local of Pengcheng. Judging from your accents, you should be from other places, right?"
Qin Yang smiled and said, "Yes, we are from Zhonghai. My name is Qin Yang, and this is Han Qingqing, my girlfriend. We came here to play together."
Dai Yun was stunned for a moment: "Oh, you are lovers, I thought you were contestants who came together. By the way, you are so young, you are participating in the youth group, right?"
Qin Yang smiled and said, "I am participating in the dispatch group."
Dai Yun's face changed slightly, and he looked at Qin Yang in surprise: "Dispatch group?"
Qin Yang nodded: "Yes... Is there any problem?"
Dai Yun reacted, his face returned to normal, and smiled: "No, I'm just a little surprised. After all, you are so young and can participate in the dispatch group competition. Although the dispatch group also has to compete, those who can join the dispatch group are all very capable people..."
Qin Yang looked at the change in Dai Yun's expression and roughly understood: "Mr. Dai, are you also in the dispatch group?"
Dai Yun stared at Looking at Qin Yang, he smiled and said, "Yes, haven't you heard of my name?"
Qin Yang was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Dai must be a powerful celebrity. Although I learn piano, I never participate in piano activities. This is my first time to participate in a piano competition, so I haven't heard of Mr. Dai's name."
Dai Yun squinted his eyes and smiled, "No wonder, but I am not that powerful. There are many seniors participating in this competition. At most, I am a little famous among young people. You are so young and can participate in the dispatch group competition. I guess your piano teacher must be a very powerful person, right?"
Qin Yang answered frankly, "Professor Zhang Ming of Zhonghai Conservatory of Music is my teacher."
Dai Yun's eyes were slightly surprised, and his expression suddenly understood: "So you are Professor Zhang's student, that's no wonder. Teacher Zhang is very famous in the music industry, and he is also very capable. The students he teaches must be powerful."
Qin Yang smiled, and before he spoke, Dai Yun had already taken out his mobile phone and smiled, "I'll ask my friend why he hasn't come out yet."
Dai Yun picked up the phone and chatted with people.
Qin Yang and Han Qingqing stood by and waited. Two or three minutes later, Dai Yun raised his head, his face seemed to be unhappy, picked up the phone and dialed it directly.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, what's going on? We were all fine, why did you suddenly change your mind... I haven't heard of such a rule before... New rules... Is it really impossible to make concessions? I have two friends here... This is really embarrassing... Okay, okay, I get it... It's okay, it's okay, that's it."
Dai Yun hung up the phone with an awkward smile on his face: "Qin Yang, I'm so sorry. I told him to practice the piano today, and he said it was okay. But who knew he just said he couldn't do it, saying that their leader had said hello and didn't allow them to practice in advance, saying that they were worried about being exposed and it would be unfair to the contestants..."
Qin Yang smiled and said, "Since we can't get in, forget it. OK, then we'll leave first and see you tomorrow."
Dai Yun smiled bitterly and apologized: "I'm so sorry. I just boasted and got slapped in the face. Otherwise, I'll treat you two to dinner tonight. It's also a way to meet new friends and express my apologies?"
Qin Yang laughed and said, "No, I appreciate your kindness. Let's talk tomorrow. We're leaving first."
Dai Yun waved helplessly: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Qin Yang and Han Qingqing turned and left, and Dai Yun also walked in another direction, chatting on his phone.
A few minutes later, Dai Yun walked to another entrance of the club. A man in his thirties stood at the entrance and waved to him with a smile.
"What's the matter, Mr. Dai? Who has offended you to make such a scene?"
Dai Yun's handsome face revealed a sneer: "No, I saw a beautiful woman and thought I could flirt with her, but she turned out to be someone else's girlfriend. In that case, why should I show my courtesy? What's more, that guy is also in the dispatch team, and is considered my opponent. If I help him, wouldn't I be shooting myself in the foot?"
