C139 He Took Care of Her Reflexively
The fifteen candidates took more than two hours to finish. Qiao An also chose a few candidates that met the old man's requirements.
There was no doubt that Qiao Xue was not there.
She belonged to the type of performer who flaunted her skills but was not steady. She was the type of performer that the old man was most afraid of. But combined with the standard of fifteen people, Qiao Xue should be on the list this round.
As Qiao An expected, Qiao Xue was indeed on the list that the old man handed over.
"Before the competition, I saw a girl chatting with you. Is she your friend or relative?" The old man smiled. "What a coincidence. Her surname is also Qiao."
"But according to her skill, it should be difficult for her to enter the Piano Association." Qiao An said.
The old man nodded. "Indeed. Her skills are flashy but not real, and her eyes are not firm enough. But if she is really your friend, it is not a big deal to let her join the club."
"She is not a friend." Qiao An declared, "She is indeed a relative. But you do not need to look at my face. I am not familiar with her."
The old man agreed, but he had his own plans in his heart. Qiao An had always been independent. Even when she worked in musical instrument store, she always worked alone. He really hoped that she could have a good friend of the same age.
And Qiao An's shirking was naturally because she did not want to make things difficult for him.
He knew less about Qiao An than Ling Yi. He only knew that her family background was ordinary. That was why she participated in the piano competition four years ago. This had something to do with Qiao An reporting good news and not worry.
Moreover, it was because of music that the two of them got into an agreement. Old Mister Ling also did not investigate Qiao An, so naturally he did not know about the relationship between Qiao Xue and Qiao An.
Qiao An also communicated with the old man about the few contestants that she had selected, which was quite compatible with the candidate in the old man's heart.
Just when the old man wanted to keep Qiao An at the house to eat, she received a call from a client who wanted to go to musical instrument store to watch the piano. Coincidentally, Ling Yi also came back, so Qiao An said goodbye and left.
...
On the way, Ling Yi asked, "Why aren't you eating in the house? The old man had ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch a long time ago. It's all your favorite food. "
"Me too, especially the duck soup. I've been craving it for a long time." Qiao An clicked her tongue twice and said with a regretful tone, "But now I'm the boss and the client is God. Of course, God's Call will rush back."
Ling Yi smiled. "You are really a professional boss."
"I have no choice. I have to support my family."
Qiao An thought about Huo Chengzhou's debt and the fact that he was opening a company. She felt a headache coming on.
Ling Yi was silent. He wanted to ask when she and Moo Haoyan were going to get married so that she could have someone to rely on in the future, but he swallowed the words when they reached the tip of his tongue.
When he thought about how she was going to marry another man, his chest felt sore and astringent.
This made him suspect to what extent his feelings towards Qiao An had reached.
After sending Qiao An to the musical instrument store's entrance, Ling Yi watched her enter the door before turning around and leaving.
Huo Chengzhou was in the French window receiving customers. He inadvertently turned his head and saw Ling Yi's figure flash past. He frowned slightly and slid his wheelchair to the door to welcome Qiao An in.
"Why didn't you tell me anything when you went out? I have been waiting for you here for the whole morning." Huo Chengzhou sounded a little unhappy.
Qiao An took off her coat and handed it to Huo Chengzhou. "I thought you would not be able to come today."
