The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Chapter 86: Sister Mo Strikes

Compared to Meng Ran, it was obvious that everyone in Class One was extremely afraid of Mo Zhu. Many of the students in Class One had already seen her fight on campus. And once the news that Mo Zhu was very good at fighting had spread, it had spread like wildfire. To be honest, almost everyone in the third year knew about this.

After being threatened by Mo Zhu, the entire dressing room suddenly became silent, especially the students of Class One. No one dared to be the first to speak up.

Finally, as the classes in front of them left the arena, the stage staff came to the dressing room and informed Class One to get ready to enter.

Once the curtains were drawn, everyone ran onto the stage as if they were escaping, afraid that Mo Zhu would tear them apart if she was unhappy.

After most of the students in Class One had left, Meng Ran frowned and looked around. She then leaned close to Mo Zhu’s ear and whispered, “Sister Mo, didn’t everyone prepare in this dressing room before going on stage? Why don’t I see your younger sister?”

Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows, stood up and stretched her arms and legs before replying indifferently, “There might be other reasons why she was going to go on stage directly later. Just take care of yourself and don’t worry about these things.”

Just as she finished speaking, Class One had already officially announced the start of their performance. For their entire class to be able to win the first place in the competitions of the previous years, it could be said that Fang Ran’s contribution as the piano accompaniment was indispensable.

When other classes could only rely on the accompaniment of the sound system, Fang Ran’s specialty happened to be very useful. As a result, as long as Fang Ran was around every year, the first position would definitely be internally reserved for Class One.

This time, they had chosen an active and passionate patriotic repertoire of teenagers. A few classes had performed it just now, but when compared to Class One, it was obvious that Class One had a much better standard than the other classes as they had Fang Ran as their piano accompaniment.

Although they could not compare to the professional singing groups, their performance today was already very outstanding. Amidst the cheers and applause from the audience, the judges sitting in the first row nodded and wrote their scores on their paper.

After the staff had collected the paper slips containing the school leaders’ scores and calculated the statistics briefly, the emcee who was waiting on the stage announced loudly that Class One’s score was 9.8.

When this score appeared, regardless of whether it was the students from the other classes or the teacher-in-charge, all of them revealed looks of disbelief. Although everyone was mentally prepared for Class One to get high marks, they did not expect the judges present to unanimously give them marks that were close to perfection.

Upon hearing this good news, the students of Class One standing on stage could not hold back their excitement and began to celebrate winning first place in advance. At this moment, Fang Ran slowly stood up from the piano chair. In a place which was out of the audience’s sight, she gave Mo Zhu a cold provocative look.

Mo Zhu was a little puzzled. She had never been to Cloud City before and she had never fought with this younger sister for Qin Ya’s love. She did not know how Fang Ran could be so hostile to her for no reason.

Mo Zhu shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She threw these messy thoughts out of her mind and recited the lyrics that she was going to sing later a few times in her heart.

After Class One left the stage, the entire Class Eight began to enter the arena one after another. Just as everyone was queuing up orderly to find the seats at the front and back of the stage, the host was anxiously called down from the stage by the staff.

After a while, a teacher in charge of the sound equipment walked up to the students of Class Eight who had completed their preparations with an apologetic expression. She explained,

“I’m sorry, everyone. Due to a temporary malfunction in the flash drive that is responsible for uploading the accompaniment, it is unable to play the song that you will be singing. If everyone doesn’t mind, you can also continue your performance without the accompanying music, but your score might not be ideal this way.”

After being disrupted by this teacher, the students of Class Eight immediately started discussing unhappily.

No one had expected that they would encounter such a situation at a critical moment when the performance was about to start. Besides, the song that they were singing together was rather niche, so it was impossible for the other classes to choose the same song as them.

As they had not prepared meticulously for this performance, other than this song, there were no backup songs prepared. Now, there is not even anything they can substitute this with.

Just as everyone was frowning and at their wits’ end, Mo Zhu walked down from the middle of the second row silently. She came to the front of Tian Rou, Class Eight’s conductor and asked lightly, “Can you understand the piano melody of this song?”

This was the first time Tian Rou was talking to Mo Zhu. She was a little nervous and she stumbled over her answer. “I, I can roughly understand some of it. But, I’ve memorized the tempo of this song for a long time. If there’s a piano accompaniment, I should be able to complete the command work.”

With the girl’s affirmative answer, Mo Zhu felt relieved and nodded. She gently raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. She said confidently, “In a while, I’ll use the piano as everyone’s accompaniment. Those who can understand the melody can follow along, and those who don’t can just follow the conductor. Do you understand?”
