Chapter 666  : Elder Xu’s Disciple

Although Master Zhang was much more tactful, Elder Xu was as sharp as a bullet. “It’s a good thing that I managed to change the rules,” he replied. “Else I wouldn’t have known that the Association was accepting this many useless musicians.”

“Rules naturally have to change in response to the new developments.”

As he said this, he turned to Master Zhang. “Do you have any objections? Do you really think that someone who doesn’t have any solid foundation has any right to enter the Association?”

“No!” Master Zhang said quickly. “I mean, if you really want to change the rules, then shouldn’t you have given the notice in advance? Wouldn’t this be unfair to all the students?”

“All the students?”

Elder Xu scoffed. “Do you mean, your own student?”

Master Zhang didn’t know why the man had phrased it that way, but he still nodded in affirmation.

“As her teacher, should I not have been entitled to the full story? Besides, Ranran wasn’t the only one who has been affected. It would also be unfair for the affected students.”

He continued, “Even if we were to change the rules, this should be decided on after the notice was given. You can’t just change the rules with a snap of your fingers!”

While Master Zhang appeared firm, his hands were already sweaty from the nervousness.

After all, Elder Xu was the cabinet leader. The only reason he had been able to challenge him was due to the sudden change of rules, which just wasn’t right.

“Only your disciple has been kicked out due to this rule, and no one else. So it isn’t really unfair to them either.”

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang clenched his fists. His eyes were bright with fury and disbelief. So only his student was affected?

He took a deep breath. The other man was a cabinet leader, so he shouldn’t react so quickly.

After all, the other person’s status was so much higher than his. The only reason he had dared confront them in the first place was that he thought President Tan was the one who had been behind this.

However, wasn’t Elder Xu too infuriating?

Only his disciple was kicked out?

And it wasn’t considered unfair?

Since only his disciple was treated this way, didn’t this make the matter even more unfair? Weren’t they already targeting her?

Moreover, if Ranran were to participate in the Music Associationonce more and the judges were aware of Elder Xu’s dislike toward the young woman, wouldn’t this make it more difficult for her?

No orchestra would want her anymore, and the judges would also be biased against her.

If she were to participate as a soloist, well…he knew that she didn’t have the ability to perform well on her own.

He couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, at a complete loss as to what Yao Ran can do.

If President Tan were a part of the judge lineup, then he could easily assume that the man was targeting her to avenge his student.

However, President Tan didn’t participate in the assessment at all.

The one who had decided to declare her unfit was Elder Xu. There was no interaction between them, so there shouldn’t be any conflict, right? Why was Elder Xu targeting her?

Why would the Elder even care about these small matters?

Let alone target a young woman on purpose?

Master Zhang quickly recalled that Elder Xu had just walked over with Yao Tang by his side. His face immediately darkened.

“Doesn’t she deserve a reason as to why she’s been singled out?”

“Your student has the right to question my disciple’s ability and even petition to cancel her results, but I can’t?” Elder Xu cocked up an eyebrow.

“As for your student, her orchestra has been rated a score of B. Other than her, no one else had passed. The reason why they weren’t able to pass through was that her fundamentals were off. Shouldn’t she also be eliminated because of this?”

Master Zhang didn’t know what to say.

His disciple?

Where did his disciple come from?

Weren’t they talking about the unfair treatment of Ranran? When did Elder Xu’s disciple get involved?
