Chapter 663: At Gunpoint
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
This time, Yao Ran and Master Zhang found themselves at gunpoint.
President Tan was already in such a bad mood, and upon being crossed upon by some middle-aged fellow, he wasn’t the type to stick to his niceties.
“Don’t speak in riddles! Just say it how it is!”
The moment these words were spoken, Yao Ran felt even more embarra.s.sed. She tried her best to think of a way out, but her mind felt even more muddled.
However, just as he was about to speak, Yao Ran was quick to say, “Teacher, there’s no need for this anymore. Besides, everyone has already seen what has happened. There’s no point in arguing.”
!!
After hearing this, Master Zhang turned around, not wanting to say anything else.
Yao Ran resisted the urge to heave a sigh of relief.
It was a pity that she hadn’t been able to predict Master Zhang’s reaction as better as she could, but she also didn’t expect to be met with this side of President Tan.
She had initially a.s.sumed that President Tan wouldn’t say anything, and instead, just keep walking past them.
However, it seemed that his personality was far fierier than she had thought.
Now that they had said some strange things to him and that they have openly mocked him in public, he wasn’t the type to stand down.
He needed to know the truth.
“Stop right there!” he called out. “If there’s anything you want to say to me, then say it clearly! If you don’t, then you shouldn’t think about leaving today!”
At this moment, Yao Ran’s entire face flashed with panic.
Initially, under his student’s persuasion, Master Zhang didn’t want to pursue this matter.
After all, she must be concerned about both of their well-being. That’s why she didn’t want to say anything.
In the end, it was President Tan who refused to let them off. Even when he had done something wrong against them, he was still far too arrogant.
It was clear who was in the wrong here!
Even if he was the branch president of the Music a.s.sociation, he still shouldn’t have abused his power by disqualifying his student.
“President Tan, you have managed the Music a.s.sociation quite well,” Master Zhang started.
“However, I should remind you that you aren’t a piano major and that your attainments in that field are nowhere near better than mine. Regarding her piano playing, should you not have handed the judgment to the piano teachers than interfere with the judgment yourself?”
Yao Ran paled even more.
No matter how much she wanted to pull him away, it seemed that her teacher was really insistent on staying. She couldn’t stop him from speaking.
After hearing this, President Tan furrowed his eyebrows.
What was he saying?
He was too busy with the matters of the Music a.s.sociation? What was he talking about in interfering with someone’s judgment?
Moreover, he was still thinking of ways how to keep his student. Why would he have the time to think about the others?
“Even if I did do that, isn’t that under my rights, as well?” President Tan said coldly. “Tell me, what is it you want?”
Did he really have to explain himself to these people?
Can’t they just leave?
Wasn’t he the president?
He was already in such a bad mood. Now that someone had come up and say that he didn’t have much attainment in one area, it was almost impossible for him to have a good att.i.tude.
Yao Ran was about to leave, but Master Zhang stayed put.
That was all he had to say?
Wasn’t he too arrogant?
These people really abused their power too much!
They shouldn’t be making any random decisions during the a.s.sessment.
The Music a.s.sociation has always been regarded as the fairest a.s.sessment in the country, especially with how it treats its musicians.
But now, it seemed that they were all pulling their own strings behind the scenes. It was far too much!
Did he not care for the reputation of the organization?
Thinking of this, Master Zhang gritted his teeth. “You managers may be important to the a.s.sociation,” he slowly said. “But without your musicians, what use are you?”
His eyes were like torches as they blazed at the man in question.
“Perhaps you shouldn’t talk if you don’t know the full story.” A cold voice echoed across the sidewalk.
“Yao Tang! You’re here!”
Hearing this voice, President Tan immediately turned around. A bright smile appeared on his face as he greeted his student.
