It’s not the same thing at all; going would just be a waste of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Wu Wu Guangren’s assistant hurried in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, it’s bad! Someone is coming to crash the Piano Department!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash the department?

What’s his background? How is his piano playing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant was also a bit confused and spoke subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s a very popular young idol, the kind who always plays domineering CEOs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But recently, he’s shown some incredible skills with the suona, erhu, and guzheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But piano... I’ve never heard of him playing the piano.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? Suona, erhu, and guzheng? Wu Wu Guangren was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female teacher asked instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are they coming to crash the place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant glanced at Wu Wu Guangren before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said... he organized the Folk Music Department’s concert and wanted to perform a few pieces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But our department rejected the invitation, and he said we didn't give him face, so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absurd!\" Wu Wu Guangren was suddenly furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is wrong with those people in the Folk Music Department?

Handsome! Is he too handsome or what?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, this is what you call 360-degree flawless beauty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screenshot taken! Licking the screen! This is my new phone wallpaper!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My youth is back! This is it! The handsome, cold CEO is finally back! Even if he is... a May Fourth Youth version?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Su Meng has only been away from the CEO image for half a month, I don't know why, but it feels like a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother is killing me! Brother is killing me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I declare that from now on, Su Meng is my husband!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little sluts upstairs, draw your swords!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"5555... he’s back! He’s finally back! Wake up, sleeping CEO fan club!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Meng, are you really going to crash... I mean, exchange and learn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Deng Deng Ziqi wiped away her drool, trying to wake up from his beauty, and asked hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Meng nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The enemy will reach the battlefield in thirty seconds. Do you think I’m going to crash the place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Deng Deng Ziqi’s mouth twitched a few times as she tried to calm herself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re going to the Piano Department to exchange and learn, you should be more serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should wear a gown like me, or at least a suit, to look formal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Piano is an elegant art. Even if you can't play, you should at least show some respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes had been focused on Su Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did they notice that Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was wearing a red gown, looking very formal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Meng curled his lip and said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you see? I specifically changed my clothes to show respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I show respect because of those virtuous and respected teachers, not because of the piano.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just an instrument; why act like it’s so high and mighty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to your logic, if I play the suona, do I have to bathe, change clothes, and go into seclusion for three days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can wait, but won't the dead body start to stink after three days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Playing the piano is elegant? Heh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy crap!

That’s a bit unsportsmanlike.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Deng Deng Ziqi ignored his joke, her face drooping instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My piano level isn't bad, but compared to these real piano masters, it’s not really worth showing off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't hold too much hope for me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Meng looked at her suspiciously, as if looking at a mentally challenged child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did I ever count on you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just saw you were bored and brought you along to watch the fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anyone is going to make a move, it’s me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? Deng Deng Deng Ziqi jumped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, no way?
