Now that there was an improvement, it was not in vain that she made an exception for people to go out and exercise.
The two talked about music theory for a while longer, and then they unknowingly got to talking about the second orchestra.
“Creating a second orchestra, I’ve mentioned it to the shareholders and they’re all in favour of it, but ……”
Hathaway paused, her face a little complicated.
Wen Shiyu thought something had gone wrong and inquired, “But what?”
“This matter has some errors with what I told you before.”
Hathaway looked at Wen Shiyu apologetically and continued, “I told you before that I wanted you to be the chief violinist of the second orchestra and help me manage the second orchestra, but there was opposition from the shareholders on this matter.”
Hearing this, it was impossible for Wen Shiyu to say that she was not lost.
However, she quickly adjusted her heart and smiled, “It’s okay, the shareholders should have their own ideas for opposing it.”
Hathaway nodded, “Indeed, they feel that I am being unfair to the others like this.”
At that, Wen Shiyu didn’t know what to say.
In all honesty, this was indeed unfair to the others.
She thought for a moment and said, “No matter what the final outcome is, I believe in my teacher.”
The last five words made Hathaway’s eyes even gentler.
She could feel Wen Shiyu’s trust in herself.
“It’s good that you trust me, about this matter, I have already negotiated with the shareholders, this chief position, the capable person will take it, currently we have roughly set a rule for the exam, using a competition system to decide the final chief candidate.”
As Wen Shiyu listened, he thought this was a good idea.
“Teacher, can you tell us the exact time and rules of the competition?”
“The time and the specific rules are still being customised, and will be posted on the orchestra’s bulletin board as soon as they are discussed.”
Hathaway explained.
Wen Shiyu nodded her head and didn’t ask any more questions.
Looking at her calm appearance, Hathaway couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and said curiously, “Don’t you have any opinion about this competition?”
Wen Shiyu glanced at her teacher and probably guessed some of the meaning.
“I think this competition is quite good, everyone has a fair chance to compete, of course, I also believe that I will win, after all, my goal has never been to be the chief violinist.”
Hathaway looked at the girl who was glowing with confidence, and the look of satisfaction in her eyes grew even more.
She admired Wen Shiyu’s courage to go for it.
“Do you know why I finally agreed with the shareholders to elect the chief violinist through the competition? Because I know you will be able to do it, and then no one will dare to say that I am biased to give you the chief position.”
In the office, Wen Shiyu and Hathaway spoke for a while longer before leaving for training.
Unbeknownst to them, the competition they were talking about earlier was actually caused by Kathleen’s covert push.
The shareholders of Hathaway’s band were all elders who had watched Cathleen grow up.
As a result, Kathleen knew these people well.
As soon as she found out that her mother wanted to develop a second orchestra and favoured Wen Shiyu to become the chief violinist, she made up her mind to hinder Wen Shiyu’s development.
That night, in the busiest entertainment street, there was a bar.
Kathleen had brought several of the orchestra’s best violinists here for a drink.
These violinists are all in competition with Wen Shiyu.
One of them, a charming woman called Cindy, was originally qualified for the position of the second orchestra’s principal violinist, but because of Wen Shiyu’s presence, she was pushed out.
Kathleen looked at Cindy wistfully, her blue eyes glittering with calculation.
A few people were talking and laughing.
Later in the evening, Kathleen spoke up as if unintentionally, “I heard that you’ve all stepped up your training for the competition these past two days, so if you need any help coaching me, just come see me.”
At this, the others were a little surprised.
After all, Kathleen had never asked to coach anyone before.
Cindy, however, confidently refused, “I am fine with it, I will definitely get first place in this competition.”
