Let alone Qi Mu, even Caroline and Jacques were shocked with the sudden refusal.<\/span><\/p>

Caroline frowned. \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, Evra? Since you admit that Qi Mu is the most skilled, why do you say it\u2019s impossible for our orchestra to hire him as our deputy concertmaster?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

In the whole orchestra, only Caroline would dare to speak to Evra in such a manner. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her blue eyes were full of reprimands.<\/span><\/p>

Every symphony orchestra would have their own music director and chief conductor. Usually, both positions will be held by the same person. Min Chen, for example, was both the music director and the chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.<\/span><\/p>

But with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the chief conductor was Evra, while the music director was Caroline. That being the case, only Caroline had the right to question Evra\u2019s decision. And when the two most influential people in the orchestra started arguing, Jacques couldn\u2019t say anything.<\/span><\/p>

Evra asked seriously, \u201cCaroline, do you really want to bring Seven into our orchestra?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Caroline replied with an affirmative, \u201cOf course! Since he\u2019s the most skilled, why can\u2019t we hire him? Evra, do you think Qi Mu is too young? Don\u2019t you like young people most? The average age within our members is 32 years old. You don\u2019t have to worry about Qi Mu being too young.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

At this, Evra shook his head. \u201cNo, Caroline. Of course I wouldn\u2019t reject Qi Mu because of his age. However, it is absolutely impossible for me to hire him as our deputy concertmaster.\u201d After a pause, Evra added, \u201cReed wanted me to be fair and just so I honestly admitted that his student is the best. But, if you hire Little Seven as the deputy concertmaster, then\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s unfair to the orchestra!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu was shocked, Caroline even more so. She forgot what to say for a while.<\/span><\/p>

Evra sighed, then turned to Qi Mu onstage. \u201cSeven, I admit that you have excellent skills. But, it is because you\u2019re so skilled that I can\u2019t hire you. In your opinion\u2026 Does an orchestra needs a deputy concertmaster who can surpass the actual concertmaster?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As soon as he finished, Jacques coughed.<\/span><\/p>

Evra narrowed his eyes at this, \u201cWhat\u2019s with the coughing? Do you think you can surpass Qi Mu\u2019s \u300aChaconne\u300b? Do you think you can play \u300aDance of the Goblins\u300b as wonderfully?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The video on Youtube had spread all over the classical music circle in Europe. Evra wasn\u2019t so rigid that he couldn\u2019t accept new things, so he had heard Qi Mu\u2019s performance of \u300aDance of the Goblins\u300b at the Heldenplatz.<\/span><\/p>

Of course, even if he hadn\u2019t seen it, Akkad never failed to show off his student\u2019s superb skills so Evra never had the chance to miss it.<\/span><\/p>

Under Evra\u2019s questioning, Jacques\u2019s dark skin turned red. Sheepishly, he said, \u201cOkay, Mr. Evra, that hurts me.\u201d With that, he gave Qi Mu a bad glare.<\/span><\/p>

Jacques wasn\u2019t a saint. Evra praised Qi Mu, so of course he was jealous. Moreover, he was never an open-minded person. And Qi Mu knew another thing just by looking\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>

Even if he did get to enter the orchestra, Jacques would ignore him.<\/span><\/p>

Evra sighed. \u201cAll in all, I don\u2019t want a deputy concertmaster who can suppress the concertmaster, Little Seven. And, although Jacques isn\u2019t a nice guy, he is skilled. I have no plans to replace him\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHey, Evra, I\u2019ve known you for more than a decade, can you not hurt my feelings like this!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Evra ignored the plump, dark-skinned man and went on, \u201cSo Little Seven, it is as your teacher thought. You\u2019re not suitable as a deputy concertmaster\u2026 Being the concertmaster for a small orchestra is better for you than being the deputy concertmaster of a big orchestra.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu couldn\u2019t get angry at such a solid reason. He accepted Evra\u2019s apology politely, receiving countless blades from Jacques\u2019 glare and an apologetic hug from Caroline.<\/span><\/p>

However, Qi Mu slowed down before leaving the stage. A curious smile appeared on his fair and handsome face. He asked softly, \u201cBy the way, Mr. Evra\u2026 You said that someone performed \u300aChaconne\u300b before me today. If I may ask, who shared the same luck as me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Before Evra could speak, Jacques sneered. \u201cHis name is Luo Yu Sen, the deputy chief of our second violin group. He\u2019s very generic and his skills are acceptable. I didn\u2019t expect him to play a pure emotional piece, yet make such a mess out of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Evra glanced at Jacques and sighed. \u201cAlthough I don\u2019t like to air the dirty laundry of my orchestra to the outsiders, Jacques is right. I thought Luo\u2019s \u300aChaconne\u300b was like mud compared to Little Seven\u2019s, when I first heard it. But now\u2026 Well, it\u2019s just a piece of shit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Both Caroline and Jacques burst into laughter.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu\u2019s eyes narrowed slightly and the corner of his lips curled up. Then, he frowned. \u201cSince\u2026 This Luo Yu Sen\u2019s skills are unsatisfactory, then why is he the deputy chief of your second violin group?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The remark brought Jacques\u2019 and Caroline\u2019s laughter to a halt.\u00a0 Qi Mu bowed politely and left the rehearsal room.<\/span><\/p>

Caroline turned to Evra, puzzled. \u201cEvra, if Qi Mu didn\u2019t say it, I would have forgotten that Luo\u2019s level is a bit misaligned with our orchestra. I remember that you wanted to dismiss him last year. Why did you let him stay as the deputy chief of the second violin group till now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Facing Caroline\u2019s question, Evra sighed with embarrassment. \u201cCaroline, you should know the nature of Lu and Luo\u2019s relationship, right? That tragedy happened when I was hesitant to renew his contract last year. When Luo came to me, he was in a lost state. I was afraid the man wouldn\u2019t be able to stand it if I gave him another big blow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Although Evra has a bad temper, he was much more persistent than Dorenza when it came to caring for talented people. From the average age of the orchestra members, it was obvious that he liked young musicians. He thought they had a lot of room for improvement.<\/span><\/p>

When the topic turned to Lu Zi Wen\u2019s accident, Caroline could only give up and stop talking.<\/span><\/p>

Jacques, on the other hand, sarcastically remarked, \u201cLost state? Oh, Mr. Evra, do we really know the same Luo Yu Sen? Why do I feel\u2026 There were too many suspicious things with Lu Zi Wen\u2019s death?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Caroline yelled, \u201cJacques! Don\u2019t talk nonsense!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWas it really nonsense?!\u201d Evra fell completely silent, abandoning what he wanted to say. Jacques sat up straight and said,\u00a0 \u201cYou can ask any member of the orchestra. Who <\/span>didn\u2019t <\/span><\/i>doubt Lu Zi Wen\u2019s cause of death?! Who knows what happened in those two hours. Luo Yu Sen said he left before Lu Zi Wen\u2019s asthma attack. Do you really believe him?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBut\u2026 The police investigated.\u201d Caroline\u2019s voice was a little hesitant.<\/span><\/p>

Jacques smiled sardonically. \u201cThose police officers\u2026 Who knows what\u2019s going on with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

After a short while, the black man bowed his head and sighed. \u201cSorry, Evra, Caroline\u2026 I was a little emotional just now. I really don\u2019t like that Luo Yu Sen guy. His smile is just\u2026 too hypocritical.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI understand, Jacques,\u201d Caroline said, nodding. \u201cYou\u2019d better change your attitude. You were so jealous just now that you looked like you\u2019d tear Qi Mu apart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Jacques pursed his lips and stopped talking.<\/span><\/p>

Just as the next applicant was about to enter the room, Evra finally spoke. \u201c…Even you think the accident last year was suspicious, Jacques?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Jacques froze. He turned to look at Evra, only to see the man looking at the ground, eyebrows furrowed, and lost in thought.<\/span><\/p>

Before he could ask, the next applicant entered the room with their violin.<\/span><\/p>

The audition for deputy concertmaster of Vienna Symphony Orchestra\u2026 was still on-going.<\/span><\/p>

For some things, as long as you plant a seed of doubt, the seed would take root. When it did, it would sprout, then grow into a towering tree.<\/span><\/p>

Qi Mu only needed to fertilize and water it. Everything else was bound to develop smoothly.<\/span><\/p>

Now that he had the time and opportunity…<\/span><\/p>

He would push the matter forward.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Happy New Year, guys! And I know some of you might have noticed that the concertmaster of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra has changed names. Yeap, my fault. It was translated as Jasper at first, but then I remembered the name Jacques existed. I am so sorry everyone!!!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
