Meng Xiao pointed at Tan Rou arrogantly, “How can anyone enter the lounge? What if she bumps into our contestants and affects our performance?”

The staff didn’t want to talk to her, but out of politeness, he said, “If you want a good atmosphere, find a place to stay. Don’t stay in this lounge.”

Meng Xiao did not dare to offend the staff too much. After all, she had entered through the back door. It was better to keep a low profile.

“Miss Tan Rou, please follow me to the lounge we have arranged for you.” The staff member glanced at Meng Xiao indifferently, then said to Tan Rou with a smile.

Tan Rou didn’t have any objections. Since she was going on stage later, where she went didn’t matter. Moreover, this time, it was Uncle Wu who called her over. Until now, she had not seen his figure. He was probably in another lounge.

Although Uncle Wu studied physics, he was also very accomplished in piano. He was one of the organizers of this competition, so he invited Tan Rou to be a judge this time.

Tan Rou left with the staff. Yang Shi and Tao Yue walked over. Yang Shi asked, “Isn’t that your cousin?”

Tao Yue was afraid Yang Shi would take a fancy to Tan Rou, so she hurriedly said, “Yes, she’s here today, but she’s not a contestant. I saw the service staff speaking to her earlier; she may be here to work.”

Yang Shi nodded. “That’s strange. With your cousin’s identity, she shouldn’t have to work here, right?”

Tao Yue said, “Maybe she’s here for a part-time job. Plus, this is a piano competition. She may want some exposure to classical music. After all, she has never had such exposure.”

Yang Shi said disdainfully, “She should have learned the piano earlier. It’s already too late for her to learn it now. Moreover, why didn’t she go to a professional teacher to learn the piano? What can you learn by working here?”

Tao Yueyue followed Yang Shi’s words. “Teacher, you’re right. I’ll tell my cousin to find a professional teacher instead.”

Yang Shi nodded. “Let’s go. Let’s go outside and familiarize ourselves with the environment. Otherwise, we won’t be able to warm up after this.”

“Alright.” Tao Yue followed behind Yang Shi.

As soon as they went out, they saw Tan Rou standing in the middle of a few people. They were familiar with those around her. There were a few very famous piano masters from home and abroad. One of the purposes of this competition was to select new disciples.

Grandmaster selected young contestants from all over the country after filtering through. Ultimately, the best contestants from all over the country have gathered here. As long as they could get into the top ten in the finals, they would have the chance to become Grandmaster’s disciples.

“Why is your cousin standing with those piano masters?” Yang Shi asked in confusion.

“My cousin should be helping the Grandmasters with some matters. After all, she’s a staff member.” Tao Yue said.

This reason made sense, so Yang Shi did not ask further.

Tao Yue was going to perform on stage in a while. The rules of this competition were different from the previous ones. During the finals, all the participants had to go on stage together. A random person would be chosen to perform. When this person performed, the remaining players would watch from the stage. After the competition, they could not leave the stage to avoid affecting those who had not performed.

Tao Yue didn’t dare to drink water before the competition because she feared she would need to go to the toilet on stage. Although there was no rule against going to the toilet, going to the toilet in the middle of the competition would definitely affect the judges ‘impression.

The contestants went on stage first, and Tao Yue was the third. They were all randomly assigned seats, so no one knew where they would be seated. After sitting down, Tao Yue looked at the audience below the stands. She didn’t see Tan Rou, so she was sure that Tan Rou was a staff member. Only the backstage staff did not show up at this time.

After the contestants sat down, it was the host’s opening speech. After the host finished speaking, the curtain of the judges ‘seats on the right was pulled open.

Among the group of old men and women, there was a young girl who was particularly eye-catching. This girl was none other than Tan Rou.

Tao Yue stood up from her seat in shock. The contestants and the audience were all looking at her. She blushed and apologized before returning to her seat.

How could it be Tan Rou? How could Tan Rou be the judge of the finals?

Tao Yue’s palms were sweaty. She panicked. If Tan Rou was the judge, things would be hard for her..
