Sofia smiled with relief at the students who were getting along well.
After a while, she started to ask about the band.
Jenny and Daniela each reported on the status of their groups, which were basically fine.
Sofia nodded in satisfaction and her eyes fell on Karen, “How is your Sixth Regiment coming along in the meantime?”
“I was just about to tell you too, I’ve recruited a new chief here, and I feel pretty good about it, so I’d like you to help me through it.”
Sophia agreed.
Soon after, Karen called over the Chief he had his eye on.
It was Susan!
As soon as she entered, Susan saw Wen Shiyu standing beside Sofia, and her eyes were as dark as anything, and her heart was even more furious.
However, her face remained calm, wearing a harmless smile.
After all, after all she had gone through, and with the rebirth of the villa in fire, she had long since ceased to be the Cathleen of old.
She had learned to hide her true emotions in front of outsiders.
“Teacher, this is Susan, who is very accomplished at the violin.”
Karen didn’t notice Susan’s difference and pointed to her for introduction.
Susan thought of her earlier attempt to get Sofia’s attention and pretended to greet her in a fallen manner, “Hello seniors.”
She hoped to make a good impression on Sofia so that she could continue with her plans later.
Sofia, on the contrary, looked at Susan with some amazement.
It seemed that she did not expect the candidate chief violinist of the Sixth Regiment to be such an outstanding girl.
Wen Shiyu and Xiao Bao’er also looked curiously at the pretty girl in front of them.
The girl looked just in her early twenties, wearing a long-sleeved dress, her features were exquisite like an angel, but with the charm of a siren, making people feel contradictory, yet extraordinarily attractive.
Susan also noticed the gawking of the crowd.
The sight of Wen Shiyu in particular made her heart burn with anger and stupidity, she could not wait to rush up and strangle this b*tch to death right now.
But in the end she held her tongue.
Sofia’s question came to her ears, “Which college did you graduate from? Do you have a teacher? Any previous experience in an orchestra?”
“I’m a graduate of the Gloria Conservatory, and I’ve only just graduated here.”
Calmly, Susan gave a general account of all her circumstances.
Of course, all this information had been falsified for her by her father.
Even her current age was a few years younger than the original change.
“When I was in school, I interned in an orchestra, and as far as teachers go, I don’t have one yet.”
Hearing this, Sofia nodded gently and asked again, “If you had an orchestra internship when you were in school, how come you didn’t stay in the orchestra after you graduated?”
As if expecting Sofia to ask this, Susan said with a look of admiration, “I heard that you were forming the Sixth Orchestra, so I wanted to come and try it out, I grew up listening to your music and you’ve always been my idol.”
Sofia was not at all surprised by this.
After all, she had seen a lot of fans who had come to admire her over the years.
Then again, she was now to choose the sixth regiment’s chief violinist, not a fan meeting.
“So, play one of your best tunes and listen.”
“Okay.”
Susan nodded her agreement, brought her violin and began to perform.
To get Sofia’s attention, she chose a very challenging violin piece – Variations on a Theme of a Mill Girl
This piece is an adaptation of Paganini’s aria from Paisiello’s opera The Maid of the Mill, “My Heart is Melancholy”, for solo violin.
It embraces almost all the techniques of the 24 Violin Etudes in one work.
It is one of the most difficult works that he left to posterity.
At the end of the piece, Susan put down her violin and looked at Sofia expectantly, “Senpai, I’ve finished my performance.”
Sofia nodded slightly, thinking that the girl had done quite well.
But she wasn’t going to judge for now.
She turned her head and enquired, “Jenny, Daniela, what did you think?”
