I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 268 - 268 Go On Stage!



268 Go On Stage!

As if to prove Fatty’s words, the music from the stage suddenly became passionate. Coupled with his madness, those who didn’t know better would think that he was the person who had been let down.

However, in Yun Yiheng’s eyes, the current Fatty was just a joke.

Fatty still wanted to say something, but someone from the folk music department couldn’t stand it anymore. “Fatty, don’t you think that you’re being ridiculous? After being abandoned by Wen Yuyi, you didn’t blame her. Instead, you are flaring up at Student Yun Yiheng?”

...

“That’s right. What right does a traitor have to say harsh words in front of the victim?”

“…”

With so many people criticizing him, Fatty became even angrier and more indignant.

He felt that the word ‘betrayal’ was like a humiliation stake! And he was viciously pinned onto it!

He mustn’t be the only one blamed…

Fatty suddenly looked at Shen Ruojing and shouted, “That’s right, I betrayed folk music. But what about Anonymous? Didn’t she betray western classical music too?! Why are you guys only scolding me and not her?!”

“…”

Silence filled up the place and everyone looked at Shen Ruojing.

Of course, the people from the folk music department wouldn’t reproach her.

However, students from the orchestral music department did feel uncomfortable when Shen Ruojing said that she was going to join Yun Yiheng’s band and be an accompaniment.

They viewed Anonymous as their idol, the pride of western musical instruments. Yet, she went to play the role of an odd-job worker for a folk music band?!

She was simply stepping down on the face of western classical music!

Just then, the music on the stage was finished and a round of applause rang out.

Wen Yuyi was under the spotlight. She stood up proudly as she bowed. When she led her band off the stage, there were still students shouting out:

“Wen Yuyi! Lakeside Band!!”

“Forever the goddess of orchestral music!”

“You’re our pride!”

“…”

Wen Yuyi returned backstage, shrouded in glory. She had just come back when she heard everyone reproaching Shen Ruojing. She then lowered her gaze slowly and said, “Everyone, don’t blame Anonymous anymore. I’ve said it from the beginning. It’s impossible for her to go against the Yun Family. We have to understand her…”

The hidden meaning behind her words was blaming Shen Ruojing for choosing to be Yun Yiheng’s lackey, for the sake of currying favor with the Yun Family.

Some students from the orchestral music department couldn’t take it anymore.

“Teacher Anonymous, I’m your loyal fan. But this time around, I’m really disappointed in you!”

“Back then, you and Qing Dai appeared out of nowhere, and we revered you as our goddess, viewing you as our pride. But now, you’re willing to be a sidekick for the eastern music department. What do you expect us to think about you?”

Someone’s eyes had turned red. “You’re really smacking the faces of our orchestral music department.”

“I’ve always felt that Anonymous is stronger than Qing Dai. Back then, after Qing Dai appeared, she retired straight away. It must be because her talent was weaker. But now, I suddenly feel that Qing Dai is quite good. She came out to prove how amazing eastern musical instruments are. But Teacher Anonymous, what about you? You only made us see that western musical instruments have no backbone!”

“…”

Everyone chimed in, blaming Shen Ruojing.

Suddenly, someone brought a phone to Wen Yuyi, showing her a post.

The title of the post was: Wen Yuyi can’t win against Anonymous in music, but she wins in character.

As there were many people paying attention to this music festival, this post was immediately reposted on Weibo right after it was published.

When Wen Yuyi saw this, her gaze flickered a little. She suddenly took out her phone and messaged Shen Wanxian who had returned to the capital. [Mother, help me make this into a trending post on Weibo.]

Anonymous’s popularity was off the charts in the music world.

She, Wen Yuyi, might not be bad at playing the violin, but she was nothing in front of a music big shot like Anonymous. She wouldn’t be able to get a place in the top rankings in the country either.

So, right now, she felt really thankful to Shen Ruojing. She was stepping on Anonymous’s fame to climb up!

Wen Yuyi believed that if this post was to go on trending, her status in the music festival would soar!

Shen Wanxian understood very quickly. In just two minutes, the post was trending and became one of the top 50 popular posts.

This matter started up within a small group in a school, but it was soon blown up and became known to the public.

The people on the internet also started a commotion.

Those from the folk music department didn’t dare to say anything.

People who liked western musical instruments, on the other hand, were scolding away, saying that Anonymous had betrayed them.

People who were in a neutral stand started to question too. There was even a famous verified influencer who had reposted the Weibo post and commented.

[Teacher Anonymous is a musician that I liked a lot in the past. Ever since she came back, I have been very elated. I’m not a fan of western musical instruments and I like folk music. I’d occasionally play the guzheng too. Therefore, I’m not averse to her dabbling in folk music. I even welcome her to do that. However, to think that she lowered her head in front of power, playing the role of a sidekick. This is something I cannot understand. Teacher Anonymous, where is your pride?]

Most people liked this comment.

For a time, the Internet was filled with scolding voices.

Ford City’s Music festival was considered the biggest event in Ford City Music Academy. There were reporters reporting the event. Now that the matter had blown up, all the major news companies immediately sent people over.

The reporters who were here were immediately tasked with heavy responsibility. They must film the situation and post it live on the Internet!

There was a commotion at the venue. Everyone didn’t even have the mood to watch the other bands’ music anymore. They were all looking forward to seeing the sixteenth band go on stage!

Backstage.

Although Shen Ruojing hadn’t seen the news on the Internet, the accusations at the venue were already piling up.

However, Shen Ruojing’s expression was calm and she paid no heed to the students’ words.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to explain, but based on experience, even if she were to say anything now, these people wouldn’t believe her. On the contrary, things might become even more troublesome. Anyway, it was their turn to go on stage very soon. She would just show them with her actions.

Yun Yiheng stood in front of her to defend her. Seeing how nonchalant she looked, he couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you angry?”

Shen Ruojing. “Why do I need to be angry? Would I lose a piece of flesh from the things they say?”

Yun Yiheng. “?”

However, he clenched his fists tightly. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault that you’re getting scolded.”

He thought about it before suddenly saying, “Why don’t you just give up? I’ll find someone else to make up for the number.”

“No need.”

Shen Ruojing said indifferently, “They will stop scolding after the competition ends.”

Yun Yiheng. “??”

He had no idea where she got her confidence from.

After Wen Yuyi got off the stage, she didn’t return to the dressing room like the rest of her band members. Instead, she stayed in the waiting area to wait for the final results.

Very soon, the fifteenth performance ended.

Yun Yiheng then put down the ice bag he was holding and picked up his zither. He stood next to Shen Ruojing and looked at the stage.

“You can just sit there and look pretty later on. There’s no need to be nervous.”

Yun Yiheng calmly continued, “With that, even if we were to lose, people would only scold me and not you. I’ll also explain things after the competition, saying that I begged you to help me.”

Hearing this, Shen Ruojing looked at him. The young man’s fingers that were holding onto the zither were trembling from pain. She then replied with a calm, “Hmmm”.

The MC’s voice came from the stage. “Next, let us welcome Qilin Band on stage! They will be performing [Coldness of Plum Blossoms]!”
