What's more...
Even if there was an alleged original creator, so what?
She was certain.
The manuscript she received at the time was the original creator's manuscript.
Therefore, the other party had no way to accuse her.
Ming Zhi Rou calmed herself down, putting on an expression of indignant shame, her eyes filled with hurt. "President Fu, I don't understand why you would humiliate me in such a manner."
"If I have ever offended you in any way, you can say it directly, and I will apologize to you."
"However, you cannot suppress a newcomer who genuinely loves music in this way!"
With her few words, she directly framed President Fu's recent actions as suppression against her.
Ming Zhi Rou's face was naturally that of a "green tea" or "white lotus" girl.
Her eyes would redden.
Then she would cry.
It was enough to evoke pity.
She looked utterly wronged.
She continued her accusation: "President Fu, we clearly agreed that because of the song 'Qing', if I performed on stage, I would become the disciple of Master Zheng Yu."
"Wasn't it already settled that I would be Master Zheng Yu's disciple? Why have you suddenly gone back on your word, and why are you slandering me and smearing me in public?"
This statement once again stirred up a huge wave.
What?
Ming Zhi Rou was actually the predetermined disciple of Master Zheng Yu?
Disciples of Master Zheng Yu could be predetermined?
There was such a thing?
But then why did President Fu say on stage that Ming Zhi Rou was not worthy of becoming Master Zheng Yu's disciple?
Could it be...
Master Zheng Yu never actually came?
President Fu was deliberately using Master Zheng Yu to trick Ming Zhi Rou and the top star Ming Huai Zhi into creating hype for this concert?
Of course, such remarks clearly showed who was trying to stir up trouble.
However, the way the trouble was stirred was utterly disastrous.
Immediately, comments in the live stream began to refute.
【Fu Zheng Nan, the first Chinese person to become the president of the International Music Association, needs to create hype for his concerts?】
【Anyone with a bit of brain wouldn't say such idiotic things.】
【I majored in psychology, with full marks in micro-expression analysis. I just analyzed Ming Zhi Rou's micro-expressions, and I'm telling you, there must be some hidden plot here.】
This psychology comment instantly sparked the imaginations of countless people, leading them to speculate about hidden plots.
They kept asking the previous commenters.
After a long while.
A comment finally appeared:
【Ming Zhi Rou's words are half true and half false. Just listen, don't take it seriously.】
Meanwhile, Ming Wei Zhou, sitting in the backstage lounge and holding his violin, stared intently at the live broadcast.
Watching the messages in the live stream.
Watching Ming Zhi Rou on screen, her eyes red, complaining about Fu Zheng Nan's unfairness.
He couldn't describe how he felt at that moment, the taste of it.
So...
All along, the rumor that Master Zheng Yu would come to China and take a disciple in China had originated from Ming Zhi Rou.
Ming Zhi Rou was the disciple Master Zheng Yu was going to take.
And when Ming Zhi Rou heard him mention Master Zheng Yu repeatedly, she had never said anything about her also being interested in Master Zheng Yu.
Nor had she ever mentioned that she was Master Zheng Yu's predetermined disciple.
At that time...
When Ming Zhi Rou watched him constantly mentioning Master Zheng Yu.
Did she think he was a pathetic fool?
From beginning to end, Ming Zhi Rou had intended to compete with him for this opportunity.
Ming Wei Zhou's current feelings were even more painful than when he had been pushed off the stage by Ming Zhi Rou earlier.
-
At the concert venue.
Ming Zhi Rou's accusations caused a subtle shift in the atmosphere.
However, President Fu's expression remained unchanged, maintaining a smile that didn't reach his eyes as he calmly looked at Ming Zhi Rou.
After Ming Zhi Rou finished her accusations.
He spoke indifferently: "Miss Ming Zhi Rou, before today, we had never met, nor had I ever contacted you privately."
"I am very curious, when did we ever agree that you would become Master Zheng Yu's disciple?"
Ming Zhi Rou opened her mouth.
But she had no retort.
Indeed, she had no prior contact with President Fu.
And she had indeed not heard President Fu personally say that she was chosen by Master Zheng Yu and would definitely become his disciple.
However...
All of this was said by her second brother!
Ming Zhi Rou abruptly turned her head to look at her second brother, who was holding her, and widened her eyes at him. "Second Brother, you tell them, President Fu really said that, right?"
Ming Huai Zhi also remembered now.
It seemed he had indeed said something like that to Ming Zhi Rou.
At that time, after it was revealed that the song "Qing" was solely an original creation by Ming Zhi Rou.
Ming Zhi Rou became incredibly popular.
Countless media outlets swarmed her.
Even the disciple of the president of the Music Association personally called his agent, inviting him to perform at tonight's concert with Ming Zhi Rou.
This was a concert organized by the International Music Association.
It carried immense prestige.
The company had immediately agreed.
At that time, Ming Huai Zhi had called Ming Wei Zhou and mentioned this matter.
Ming Wei Zhou had then mentioned in passing that President Fu had mentioned that Master Zheng Yu was currently in China and might attend the concert.
In Ming Huai Zhi's mind.
Ming Zhi Rou was the most outstanding girl in the world.
Therefore, to encourage his sister, Ming Huai Zhi had said something like... if she performed well, Master Zheng Yu might take her as a disciple.
But he had said "might."
Not "definitely"!
And so, over time.
It evolved into...
The entire Ming family firmly believed that Ming Zhi Rou becoming Master Zheng Yu's disciple was a done deal.
Ming Huai Zhi had realized this later, of course.
But he thought that in this era of big data, the whole world knew that Master Zheng Yu would accept Ming Zhi Rou as a disciple.
If Master Zheng Yu didn't accept her, it would surely attract criticism.
Therefore, public opinion could force Master Zheng Yu to accept her as a disciple in public.
After all, his Rou'er was so outstanding.
And so, it had come to this.
He hadn't expected...
Ming Zhi Rou would blurt out this statement in public.
Wasn't this spreading rumors about the International Music Association operating in a backhanded way?
Wasn't this bringing him ill repute?
Normally, Rou'er was quite smart, so why was she acting foolishly now?
"Rou'er!"
Ming Huai Zhi placed his hands on Ming Zhi Rou's shoulders, urging her to calm down.
His gaze swept over the surrounding cameras.
Then he looked at President Fu, who remained calm, as if unmoved by a mountain collapsing before him.
He lowered his voice: "President Fu did not say such things. In fact... President Fu never mentioned anything about Master Zheng Yu."
Ming Zhi Rou's face gradually turned pale.
Her eyes were filled with shock.
Her lips, even though painted with bright lipstick, lost their color.
