Chapter 1177: First? Second?

Dai Yun's sudden invitation, in the public eye, made Qin Yang a little embarrassed to refuse.

Qin Yang's mind was turning quickly, and he was about to find a reason to politely refuse, but Dai Yun spoke again: "We are all young people, and we have a common language. It's your first time to participate in the competition. It's a good thing to make more friends, and we can communicate with each other and improve together, right?"

Qin Yang smiled bitterly: "Qingqing and I have an appointment with a friend..."

Dai Yun laughed heartily: "It doesn't matter, you invite your friends to come, and everyone will have a friend."

Qin Yang wanted to refuse again, Dai Yun reached out and patted Qin Yang on the shoulder: "This matter is settled, don't refuse."

Dai Yun had said this. If Qin Yang still insisted on refusing, it would seem a bit unkind. Qin Yang was not afraid of offending people, but there were many peers of the teacher here, and he was afraid that these people would have opinions about him and then affect Zhang Ming.

"Well, it's such a kind invitation, I can't refuse it, so I'll be disrespectful to refuse it!"

Well, it's just a meal, someone is treating me, so I'll just go with my mouth.

Just bring my mouth to eat, not to talk.

After eating, I'll run away, and I should have nothing to say by then.

At this moment, Qin Yang couldn't figure out why Dai Yun wanted to treat him to a meal. Was it because he saw that he had shown his strength and thought that he might have a little reputation and status in this circle in the future, so he got to know him first to win him over?

Dai Yun saw that Qin Yang finally agreed, and smiled: "This is good, it's almost time for dinner after the assessment, and we'll leave after the results are announced!"

Since he agreed, Qin Yang didn't hesitate and agreed readily: "Okay!"

Qin Yang had finished his preliminaries, and walked with Han Qingqing to the back corner of the waiting team outside the corridor with a relaxed demeanor, and found two stools to sit down.

"You played very well, there will be no problem in advancing."

Qin Yang smiled and whispered: "No problem, the judges asked me to prepare for the semi-finals."

Han Qingqing's eyes lit up. Although this result was originally expected by her, but in the competition, there were still so many contestants who had not participated, the judges said this to Qin Yang, there was only one result.

Qin Yang performed very well, and his score was very high, so high that the contestants behind him could not squeeze him out of the top ten, so the judges said this.

Han Qingqing whispered happily: "Do you think you will be the first place?"

Qin Yang shook his head: "It's hard to say. Although I think I play as well as Dai Yun, Dai Yun is famous after all. These judges are all in this circle. It is very unlikely that my score will exceed Dai Yun's."

Han Qingqing frowned: "Are you saying they are unfair?"

Qin Yang smiled and said: "The judges are people, not machines. People will inevitably have emotional deviations. Dai Yun has been famous for a long time. He is a leader in the new generation of piano. His teacher is also a well-known figure in the circle. Naturally, his emotional score will be a little higher than mine. They have to take care of Dai Yun's face."

After a slight pause, Qin Yang glanced at In the direction of the examination room, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "If there is no other more powerful person, if Dai Yun gets the first place, I am afraid I will be the second or third."

Han Qingqing frowned beautifully: "Wouldn't you be at a disadvantage then?"

Qin Yang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can enter the top three and finally participate in the competition in Japan, the judges at that time will not be from that country alone, and such a thing will basically not exist."

"And now it is the preliminaries, which are not open to the public. When it comes to the semi-finals, it will be an open competition. At that time, the video will be posted online. At that time, the judges will naturally be more cautious. Even if there is a slight deviation, it will not be so obvious."

Han Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Her father died early, and she understood the reality of this world more. Where is the real fairness in this world?

The two hid at the end of the line and waited quietly. They waited until half past five when all the contestants completed the assessment. After waiting for another ten minutes, a staff member came out with a few A4 papers and posted them on the wall.

"The results of the competition are out!"

"Look, I'm afraid I'll be out of the running this time!"

Everyone stood up and walked towards the posted results, staring at the score sheet.

"Dai Yun is first! As expected."

"The title of New Era Star is not for nothing, it's really powerful!"

"No surprise!"

Everyone habitually looked down from the top, and saw Dai Yun's name at a glance, and someone shouted immediately.

"Dai Yun, you are first again!"

Dai Yun showed some excitement on his face, but then he forced himself to suppress his smile and replied modestly: "Lucky, I played well today."

Someone laughed and said: "You are not strong, but hard-core strength."

Dai Yun smiled and said: "Everyone is very good, but I am in good shape today... By the way, friends in front can help me see where Qin Yang ranks?"

As soon as Dai Yun finished speaking, someone in the crowd in front shouted in surprise: "Second! Qin Yang is actually second!"

Second!

Dai Yun's heart sank. Just as he had guessed, the judges were very optimistic about Qin Yang. This score must be very close to his own!

Dai Yun just listened carefully to Qin Yang's performance. He secretly compared it in his heart. He felt that he was a little less agile than Qin Yang, but he didn't play this song before, so it was not easy to say directly that he scored higher or lower.

When he heard that he was first, Dai Yun's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, and the second reaction was to care about Qin Yang's score.

"The score was only a little bit off, and he almost surpassed Dai Yun. The young are really formidable!"

"Amazing, he has never had any competition experience, but he has such a performance in the first preliminary round. Zhang Ming has taught a good disciple."

"No wonder Zhang Ming was a little melancholy when he talked to me about his disciple. He said that his disciple's mind was not on the piano. It has only been a short time, but he can achieve such results. If he is given time to study hard, his achievements will be limitless!"

The score is a little bit off?

Dai Yun's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose from his heart.

I'm afraid these judges gave me some favors. If I were a newcomer like Qin Yang, would I be able to get as high a score as Qin Yang?

I'm the first in this round, but what about the semi-finals? Can I still be the first?

Although the top three in the semi-finals can participate in the Japanese competition, and they will only represent China when they go to the competition, and they won't compete for rankings, but the next semi-finals are open competitions. There will probably be many medical students watching on site, and there will also be videotaping and photography. If I lose to Qin Yang, my reputation as a new generation star will probably be shattered.

No!

I must not lose to Qin Yang in the semi-finals!

I must win, I must get first place!
