Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Lowest Score!

“No need,” Chi Gui slightly turned aside, shielding Su Niannian, and calmly said, “She can get along with Liu Hai on her own.”

Xue Yao let out a sneer, “Chi Gui, sometimes I really admire you. You can lie as calmly as if stating a fact.”

Having said that, she sat back down, ready to enjoy Su Niannian’s misfortune.

Chi Gui ignored Xue Yao and instead said to Su Niannian, “Just now, Liu Hai praised your composition.”

Su Niannian was taken aback, looking at Chi Gui somewhat bewildered.

Chi Gui looked straight into her eyes, her tone gentle and soothing, “Your compositions haven’t been mentored by him, yet they have received such appreciation. There’s no reason your new song should lose.”

There’s no reason your new song should lose!

A surge of motivation suddenly rose from the depths of Su Niannian’s heart.

“Sister Chi, I’m going up!” she clenched her fists tightly and stood up to walk onto the stage.

Still a bit puzzled in her mind, “Sister Chi’s expression, that tone… why does it feel like a head physician comforting a patient about to go into surgery?”

Su Niannian shook her head, dispelled her distractions, and stepped onto the stage.

On the stage.

The judges were a bit listless.

The previous song had already far exceeded the level of a student, even crushing some professional musicians in certain aspects. It was unlikely anyone following would surpass it.

Moreover, according to the information they had received, the one going on stage now was an amateur singer from the medical school; they guessed she’d do well just not to sing off-key.

After having witnessed a gem, it was hard for them to get interested in anything ordinary.

Liu Hai also wasn’t particularly interested. He had all but decided Xue Yao was the little prodigy introduced by Chi Gui and thus naturally lost interest in the other contestants.

But he always respected juniors—even if just hobbyists—as long as they loved music sincerely, he would show respect.

Therefore, when Su Niannian appeared on stage, Liu Hai was the only one focusing on her, giving her an encouraging smile, “You can start now.”

Receiving such warm encouragement from her idol, Su Niannian’s heart stirred deeply.

She took a deep breath and raised the microphone—

Below the stage.

Xue Yao watched Su Niannian’s demeanor, scoffing, “She’s got the act down, but…”

Her words were not yet complete when a graceful and moving voice floated down from the stage.

The singing was incredibly beautiful and engaging, just a soft, low hum to start off with, but it immediately captivated everyone’s attention!

The instructors who were originally casual all straightened up.

Liu Hai’s eyes shone with amazement, watching Su Niannian with excitement.

Xue Yao’s face dramatically changed!

But just when all the instructors were attracted and ready to listen carefully, Su Niannian’s singing suddenly veered off, becoming weird and unpleasant.

She was off-key!

Su Niannian’s face turned pale, her heart in turmoil.

She was singing just as she did in practice, so why was there such a difference coming through the microphone?

The judges furrowed their brows, unable to bear it, and called a halt, “That’s enough, no need to continue singing.”

Su Niannian tightly grasped the microphone, anxiously explaining, “Please, please give me another chance! I’m not usually like this…”

“Sorry, but all the other contestants only get one chance. We can’t give you special treatment,” one judge rejected her matter-of-factly and then raised the scorecard in his hand.

Then, the other judges also revealed their scores.

10 points!

10 points!

20 points!

10 points!

50 points!

Almost all were the lowest scores of the event!

Only Liu Hai gave a moderate 50 points, looking after Su Niannian’s dignity, but it was of no use.

After scoring, the judges stood up and walked down from the stage.

Su Niannian stood on the stage, her hands drooping dispiritedly, the judges’ discussions ringing in her ears:

“Of the entire competition today, only that contestant named Xue Yao has potential!”

“After all, even Teacher Liu Hai sees promise in her. She really has spirit.”

“Once this program is over, she might even be appreciated by Teacher Liu Hai and be taken on directly as a disciple.”

Below the stage.

Xue Yao breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, “Is this some new way of saving face?”

Chi Gui ignored Xue Yao.

Her dark almond eyes fixed on the microphone in Su Niannian’s hand, her brows slightly furrowed.
