CHAPTER XXXIII

The ranking was announced by Mr. Howard on the spot, and Via and Dick won the first place in the Zurich division without suspense, and the girl named Cherry was the second place. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Footage of the game was broadcast on television that night.

Overnight, Via and Dick became celebrities. Although they are not yet household names, when walking on the road, there are occasionally young people who look at them.

Two days after the game, Mr. Howard finally agreed to have dinner with Mrs. Mary.

The dining place was set at a two-star Michelin restaurant in the central district of the city, Mr. Howard arrived half an hour later than expected, he was a distinguished guest, and Viagra and Dick didn't care, but when Mr. Mary saw Mr. Howard, she glanced at him coldly, "You are really busy, you haven't been on time since your college days." ”

Mr. Howard snorted, "May I take your words as a compliment to me?" ”

Teacher Mary said, "There is no one in the world who is more conceited than you." ”

"Thanks for the compliment," Mr. Howard nodded gentlemanly, and smiled at Via and Dick as he sat down, making them even more fond of him.

Despite the verbal confrontation, Via could tell that Teacher Mary and Mr. Howard had a deep friendship, because if they were not good friends, they would not speak so directly.

Mr. Howard didn't drown in the mud, but went straight to the point, asking Viagra and Dick some questions first, apparently Mrs. Mary had briefly introduced them to him before, and he wanted to know more about the two children on this basis, Mr. Howard asked Via, "When did you start learning vocal music?" ”

Via replied, "When you were very young,"

"Is there a professional teacher who has guided you?"

Via hesitated for a moment and glanced at Teacher Mary.

Teacher Mary laughed, "I don't count." ”

So Via said, "No." ”

Mr. Howard did not hesitate to praise Via, "What a natural asset, I think her way of singing is quite professional, as well as her level of composition, and her method and skills are also mature, this kind of pastoral style of music is really like a clear stream in today's impetuous pop music, listen to those noisy music, and then listen to her singing, it is amazing." ”

"You wouldn't have thought that Via's piano playing is also very good, you must know that Catherine originally wanted to admit her," Teacher Mary couldn't hide her pride in Via, "But for the sake of your competition, Via's gave up this rare opportunity, you didn't see Catherine's expression at that time, she hated you so much, while you are still in Zurich, hurry up and invite her to dinner to make amends." ”

"Catherine?" There was a hint of surprise in Howard's eyes, his impression of Catherine was a tall and arrogant woman with eyes above the top, they didn't like each other, every time he met her, he was inevitably cynical, but in fact, he secretly admired each other's talents.

He believed in Catherine's vision, and knew that her disdain for going through the back door could make her personally invite, and there was no doubt about this girl's piano skills.

Howard felt that he had really underestimated Via, and among the singers he knew, there were many who could sing and write songs, but none of them could play an instrument to the academy level. He couldn't tell whether God was cruel or loving to this peasant girl, she was an orphan whose parents died, but she had unparalleled talent, beautiful appearance, any of which made ordinary people envious. Howard felt that he could already see a bright future for Via.

The resumption will take place in a month in Paris.

Mr. Howard told Via and Dick that it was best to go to Paris half a month in advance, because from the rematch, the whole process will be broadcast live, and for these rookies, the preparation is very important, and the music they choose, the accompaniment and instruments they need, and even what they say on stage, all need to be carefully designed by the television station.

There are a total of 20 divisions in Europe, which means that Viya still has 99 competitors.

"Do you plan to use your own original songs for the first round of the semi-finals?" Mr. Howard asked Via.

Via shook her head, "I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"At that time, all the contestants will be divided into groups again, a group of ten, and each group will have three judges, and I won't necessarily be your judges, but I can tell you now that Amanda and I are both more inclined to original music."

Realizing that Mr. Howard was reminding herself, Via nodded gratefully.

Mr. Howard went on to say some details to look out for in the game, and both Viya and Dick felt beneficial.

At this dinner, the guests and hosts were happy, and Mr. Mary and Mr. Howard also drank a glass of red wine.

"All in all, I'm waiting for you in Paris."

Before leaving, Mr. Howard shook hands with Via and Dick, respectively, and said in an affirmative tone, "You are the stars of tomorrow." ”

Having eaten and drunk, Via, Dick and Miss Mary walked along the Rhine until they reached the small hotel where they were staying.

"Are you going to go straight to Paris or do you want to go home first?" Teacher Mary asked.

Via and Dick looked at each other, and Via said, "I listen to Dick." ”

Dick thought for a while, "Let's go home first, I have to tell my parents, it's hot, and I have to change my clothes into summer clothes, anyway, I have half a month, it's too late." ”

"But don't forget, you have to rehearse new tunes, and that's how the competition is, and you can't afford to slack off. ”

Wei Ya was about to speak, when her eyes suddenly saw a pair of dazzling handsome men and beautiful women walking towards them, and she was stunned.

The handsome guy a few steps away also saw her, and smiled gently, "Wei Ya, I didn't expect to meet you here." That being said, there was not the slightest surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, that's a coincidence," Viya said, "Facing Kailan, she always felt like she was being suppressed and her scalp was tingling. It's like a young animal in the forest meeting a tiger and a wolf.

Her attitude pleased Kellan, and he smiled for the first time since he arrived in Zurich.

Vanessa beside her was angry and angry, but she could only stand obediently behind Kailan, yes, it seemed to others that she and Kailan were walking side by side, in fact, she was half a step behind Kailan, always keeping two fists away from him.

Because Elon's friends from Middle School sent her a message that Kailan would be in Zurich this evening, which means that Kailan had just arrived on the front foot, and Vanessa asked him to have dinner on the back foot.

Although Kailan did not refuse, at the end of the meal, Vanessa was talking, talking about how well she played in the piano exam, how the teacher praised her, and Kailan smiled and was a qualified listener.

But as soon as he saw Via, Kailan's smile changed, and it was a smile of joy from the heart.

Vanessa is not stupid, she knows that Kailan has developed an interest in Viya, and in front of him, she better keep silent, the New Year's lesson has taught her that Kailan does not like vexatious girls.

Kellan was a very polite boy, and even though he was delighted to see Via, he did not snub Miss Mary and Dick, and greeted him politely.

Teacher Mary had heard of Kailan for a long time, and now that she saw me, she felt that the rumors were rare and reliable, this is really an excellent child.

Dick reacted coldly, he knew that Kellan was playing Via's idea, and he didn't want to deal with such a person who had a complicated family background and a complicated mind.

"Have you already had dinner?" Kellan asked Via.

Via's "um" sound.

"Looks like I'm a step late, will you still be in Zurich tomorrow?"

"It should still be there."

"I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night."

Without waiting for Via's answer, Kailan smiled gently, "It's decided, I'll call you tomorrow night." ”

Via watched Kellan and Vanessa walk away stupidly, and Teacher Mary's laughter rang in her ears, "You're a strong suitor." ”

Wei Ya's face turned red, "No, no, don't talk nonsense, teacher, I have a boyfriend." ”

As soon as the words fell, Dick stared at her, "You say it again?" ”

Wei Ya immediately lowered her head, looking like she had obediently admitted her mistake to her brother.

"Is that the damn ranger?"

"Hmm," Via's voice was as small as a mosquito's call.

Dick was angry, "When did it start?" ”

"Before you leave the village."

"That song "First Kiss" was also written for him?" Dick suddenly understood.

"Hmm."

"You... You...," Dick angrily "you" for a long time, speechless, "When you get home, you'd better give your parents, and me a reasonable explanation," After saying that, he shook his hand and walked first, they were by the river, and there were people coming and going on the road, and after a while, he disappeared.

Teacher Mary was still snickering, "Dick's brother is a little too dutiful, doesn't he know that his sister will marry sooner or later?" ”

"Teacher..."Via's helplessness.

"Okay, I'm not going to make fun of you."

Via's desire to cry without tears, what is this?

Dick had a cold war with Via again, he didn't talk to Viya at all, and when he ate breakfast, he deliberately brought the plate to another table.

Viagra wanted to give in, but Teacher Mary grabbed her, "Let him be angry, you have the right to have a boyfriend." ”

Before it was resolved, Kailan's call came again, "I'm downstairs in the hotel." ”

Viagra hurriedly opened the curtains in surprise and saw Kellan holding her mobile phone and looking up at her.

Viagra didn't care to think about how Kailan knew that she lived here, and pulled out her legs to find Teacher Mary, but Teacher Mary pretended to be helpless and said, "Catherine also asked me and Howard to have dinner tonight, so I can't accompany you." ”

Viagra was anxious, "Then I'll go and refuse him." ”

Teacher Mary laughed, "Why refuse, you are too shy, that boy just invited you to dinner, and you are restless like a monkey jumping up and down, even if you don't like him, you can be friends with him." ”

Teacher Mary woke up Via at once, yes, she should have made it clear to Kellan that he wouldn't waste time on herself.

Via dropped a thank you, turned and ran out again.

Teacher Mary smiled and shook her head, "It's good to be young." ”
