Chapter 654  : His Attitude Changed

Any decision decided on by any of the judges would require a joint discussion with the higher-ups of the Music Association.

Now, they were going to change everything just because an old man had said so?

The old man must have said this to scare them.

“Are you saying that because we were disrespectful?”

“Even if you are angry, you shouldn’t joke around like that! This matter concerns all of us. You can’t do that.”

“Yeah, don’t you think that the matter has nothing to do with us?”

“The Association has never stopped taking any assessments. How will you recruit new members if you had stopped?”

As soon as these words were stated, everyone felt much more assured and comfortable with themselves. They should be safe, right?

At that time, Fang Hui spoke.

“My grandmother had said that the Music Association had stopped taking any assessments three times since they started. It was always such a controversy when they did so.”

“However, this had happened more than ten years ago, so not many may have remembered it.”

As soon as these words were said, everyone turned to glance over to the judges, wanting to get an answer from them.

The judges immediately recovered from the shock of the old man’s words and slowly nodded at the crowd.

“Yes, the Association has already done it three times.”

They initially thought that they would be able to run a more closed assessment. But they knew of the old man’s identity. Whatever he says will go.

He indeed had the ability to do this.

However, the suspension of the assessment was still a big shock to them all. For a moment, the judges didn’t feel as if they could accept the news.

Just then, one of the judges immediately glanced up at the crowd. “Actually, not all assessments had been closed,” he said slowly. “You can say that they’re half closed.”

Everyone furrowed their eyebrows.

The judge stroke his chin. “While the assessments for orchestras have stopped, the individual assessments…”

After everyone heard this, they all glanced up at the judge.

They weren’t sure if they could pass the individual assessment, but what if they were lucky enough to pass it? There was still hope for them, right?

As if sensing their excitement, he hurriedly said, “I haven’t finished. What I meant to say is that there was only one instrument in the individual assessment category that is still being assessed. The rest have been closed.”

However, he just couldn’t remember what that instrument was.

Only one instrument..

After hearing this, everyone felt as if cold water had been poured over their heads. Their hearts were cold.

At this point, they didn’t have the chance. They could only hope that the instrument he mentioned was an instrument they had already played.

The old man was silent this entire time.

The judge glanced over to the old man. “May I ask what the only instrument can be assessed after this assessment is over?”

He bowed respectfully.

These judges only remembered that the instrument was different from the others they had normally heard.

But they couldn’t remember.

Everyone gazed at the old man, waiting for an answer.

“It’s not any of the instruments you’ve used today.”

Everyone finally gave up.

Now, they could only hope that the old man was playing with them.

However, when they saw that the judge had been so respectful toward the man, they felt that he really had some pull on the organization.

As he said this, the old man turned and smiled at Yao Tang. “Little girl, stay behind. I have something to tell you.”

His attitude had completely changed.

He was no friendly!
