Ch.100 Scam (2)

“Can anyone explain to me what’s the current situation right now? I just transferred 100 yuan to this bank account.”

“I cried this morning upon seeing this post!!!”

Upon seeing Weibo slump into chaos, Xiao Yu still calmly continued to practice walking. She could feel that her progress was way ahead of what Aunt Wang had seen.

If it wasn’t for the help of 404’s golden touch, she would still not be able to play the piano even after full recovery. Due to the car accident, her bones in some areas were completely fractured, and her fingers were one of those areas. Since the accident, Xiao Yu was destined that she had no luck in becoming a pianist.

Luckily, with the assistance of 404, it restored her whole body to its best condition. Only then, it would be possible for her to work hard and become a pianist.

Xiao Yu went for a bath after the rehabilitation session. She sat in front of the electronic piano and took half an hour to warm up.

Dancers would warm up their bodies before they danced, swimmers would stretch before they swam. The same applies to piano.

Pianists also needed to warm up before playing the piano, so that they could perform better.

Xiao Yu would spend 20 minutes warming up, mainly through practicing some scales and arpeggios. Then, she would schedule 1-2 hours for technical exercises, starting with some finger exercises and portion pieces that were relatively harder. Then, she would spend some time practicing a whole piece. Xiao Yu never practiced modified versions of the pieces. Most of the piano repertoires she used were of the original version.

Father Xiao once said to her, the original version wasn’t tampered around with yet. The revised versions of piano repertoires not only affected the pianists, but everyone would have different opinions about this. Of course, a version made by an authoritative musician was also extremely useful, but it shouldn’t restrict one’s creativeness. One shouldn’t become a slave to the original piece. Hence, it wasn’t as easy as it seemed.

“Ms Xiao, your phone is ringing.” Aunt Wang reminded her.

Aunt Wang obviously knew nothing about piano. To her, Xiao Yu’s skills were already on par with the other pianists that appeared on TV.

Xiao Yu picked up her phone after finishing the last part of the piece, but the person had already stopped calling. Not long after, it rang again.

“Hello, is Xiao Yu on the phone?” A soft and gentle female voice sounded from the other end.

Xiao Yu answered with a yes, and when she noticed that Xiao Yu didn’t mean to continue on with the conversation, she said: “ I’m actually one of the colleagues of the person that put the post online.”

“Oh! That liar? You two are colleagues, are you two from the same company?” Xiao Yu said.

The other end fell silent for a moment and said: “It’s not like that, we wanted to contact you earlier, but we couldn’t find you in the hospital.”

“Since you couldn’t locate me, why did you still spread the news?” Xiao Yu asked in a cold tone, her left hand was still playing the keys on the piano.

“Erm……” The lady stammered, and said: “We interviewed you before, you might not remember. It was the caretaker that answered on behalf of you at that time. We already notified you that it would be posted online to help raise funds, you were also there at that time.”

“Oh~!” Xiao Yu stopped everything on hand, and asked: “If I knew about this in the first place, why didn’t you ask for the number to my bank account? Miss, I was injured at that time, if I was conscious then, why didn’t you directly interview me? Since you didn’t interview me, it was obvious that I wasn’t in a good condition to be interviewed, maybe I couldn’t respond, or was even unconscious, am I right?”
