Chapter 367
There were fewer VIP cabins on this ne. There were only four seats in the front row.
In order to make it easier to take care of Shi Jin, Yao Jiahong bought seats in this cabin for himself
and Xiao Li as well. However, there was still an outsider sitting here, so it seemed a little
inconvenient.
When Yao Jiahong bought the tickets, this seat had already been bought by someone, so he
couldn''t directly book the entire VIP cabin. Thinking about it, he felt a little regretful.
"Brother Yao, what''s wrong?" Shi Jin saw that he had been observing the seats and asked.
"It''s fine. I''m looking at who will be sitting here," he said. "When this passengeres overter, I''ll
greet him in advance."
Shi Jin hummed and did not ask further.
Xiao Li had already followed Yao Jiahong''s instructions and quickly asked for hot water and a
nket for Shi Jin.
The journey took more than ten hours, so both of them tried their best to make Shi Jinfortable.
Shi Jin adjusted the seat,id down, and picked up her phone.
Thest passenger came in.
Yao Jiahong immediately stood up, nning to negotiate with him. He looked up and saw a familiar
figure. He opened his mouth, but did not say anything.
Shi Jin was looking at her phone when a shadow blocked her vision. She lifted hersheszily and
saw Fu Xiuyuan''s handsome face approaching.
"Why are you here?" Shi Jin sat up and realized that he was carrying a suitcase.
She smiled.
Fu Xiuyuan approached her. "Your suitcase isn''t big enough, so I prepared one for myself."
Shi Jin smiled. "Why wasn''t I notified?"
"It''s a surprise." Fu Xiuyuan could not confirm the time of the flightst night.
After confirming the time today, he still had to find the lucky person who had bought the ticket in Shi
Jin''s cabin and buy it from them. He had to go through some procedures and had to connect with
the airlinepany. As a result, he waste.
Yao Jiahong and Xiao Li automatically pulled up the curtain that covered the front and back rows.
With Fu Xiuyuan around, Shi Jin''s journey was rxing and easy.
The ne soon arrived at the airport in Warsaw.
Warsaw was the home of Chopin, and many of the buildings here were named after him.
At the airport, all thepetitors from the various countries had their own vehicles to receive them.
They were sent to the hotel arranged by the organizingmittee to stay with the other
competitors.
Including Shi Jin.
This time, Shi Jin didn''t use her original name and instead used her English name, Jade.
After Yao Jiahong and Xiao Li got off the ne, they started to look for the car that was meant to
pick up Jade.
Fu Xiuyuan said to Yao Jiahong, "No need, I have a ce to stay. Call the organizingmittee."
Yao Jiahong had originally thought that he was already generous. In order to make Shi Jin travel
morefortably, he didn''t mind spending more money and energy.
With Fu Xiuyuan here, he realized that he paled inparison.
Shi Xuexin also got off the ne.
After she got off the ne, she saw that all thepetitors were assigned private cars. She couldn''t
help feeling envious.
She was only slightly behind the third ce winner. She could have enjoyed such treatment. Now,
she could only take a taxi to the hotel.
Yu Xiuhua saw her disappointment and persuaded her in a low voice, "It''s alright. Five yearster,
we can still participate in the Chopin pianopetition."
Five yearster? How long is that?
Shi Xuexin forced a smile. Then, she saw Shi Jin being escorted by a tall man towards a car.
Shi Jin was here too? Could she be here to participate in thepetition?
After some thought, Shi Xuexin dismissed the idea. Shi Jin participating in thepetition? What
was she going to y, her folk song?
Shi Xuexin was even more certain after she saw that Shi Jin was not getting in a car that the
organizingmittee prepared. However, when she saw Shi Jin getting inside a rare luxury car, Shi
Xuexin felt a little jealous. What was her purpose ining to Warsaw?
"Xuexin, get in the car," Hu Lai reminded Shi Xuexin.
Shi Xuexin got into the taxi and headed to the hotel that Hu Lai had booked.
Fu Xiuyuan''s vi in Warsaw was located not far from the Philharmonic Music Hall.
The Philharmonic Music Hall was the venue for thispetition.
The location of his vi was exceptionally good.
When the car stopped in front of the vi and he saw that the vi had been renovated, even
someone as meticulous as Yao Jiahong had to sigh at how considerate Fu Xiuyuan was.
The vi wasn''t very big. It was a three-story building, and there were already servantsing to
pick up the luggage.
Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin stayed on the third floor while Yao Jiahong and Xiao Li stayed in the guest
rooms on the second floor.
The environment and situation here were much better than the hotel where the contestants were
staying.
After settling down, it was lunchtime. Fu Xiuyuan apanied Shi Jin to the dining table, followed
by Xiao Li and Yao Jiahong.
Yao Jiahong was still checking the flight information on his phone.
This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
"You''re already booking return tickets?" Fu Xiuyuan asked.
"Otherwise, I won''t be able to get VIP tickets." Yao Jiahong paused and thought about the meaning
behind Fu Xiuyuan''s words. "If you guys want to take a break, I can book the flight for ater time."
"I remember that the time between the semi-finals and the finals is not long?"
"Two days. The finals will be held two days after the results for the semi-finals are out," Yao Jiahong
exined. "I''ll book ticketster then?"
"Mm." Fu Xiuyuan nodded.
Yao Jiahong wrote down the date of the flight in his memo.
After dinner, Fu Xiuyuan apanied Shi Jin for a walk in the garden.
In the garden, one could see the Philharmonic Music Hall just by looking up. The visual effects were
excellent.
Fu Xiuyuan pointed into the distance and said, "We''ll walk from here tomorrow. It''ll only take about
15 minutes. If we take the car, it''ll take two to three minutes."
Shi Jin calcted thatpared to other contestants, she could save about half an hour. This
meant that she could sleep for another half an hour.
"You seem very familiar with this ce." Shi Jin followed his finger and looked over.
With that, she recalled that Fu Heyan had also participated in apetition here. It was normal for
Fu Xiuyuan to be familiar with this ce.
"Thankfully, I kept this vi." Fu Xiuyuan lowered his eyes to look at her. "I always thought that
keeping it would be useful, and it turns out I was right."
Shi Jin faced him. "All the arrangements have their purpose."
"1 want to give you the best," Fu Xiuyuan said in a low voice.
Shi Jin nodded gently. Just like this moment.
The next day, the semi-finals of the Chopin International Piano Competition officially began.
When Shi Jin woke up in the morning, Fu Xiuyuan apanied her as she ate her breakfast
slowly. In the end, she didn''t take the car and chose to walk to the Philharmonic Music Hall.
It was still early when they arrived.
Shi Jin entered the concert hall. She did not expect there to be so many people inside so early in
the morning.
The moment she and Fu Xiuyuan entered, Fu Heyan waved at her.
Shi Jin walked towards her. "Sister."
"Come sit with me." Fu Heyan cleared a few seats and asked, "Did you rest well?"
"Pretty well. Sis, you''re not living in the vi with us?"
"I live in another vi with your brother-inw." Fu Heyan smiled as she continued, "It''s not too far
away from your vi."
Yao Jiahong and Xiao Li were speechless.
"I wanted to introduce you to the judges today... but I don''t want people to gossip, so forget it." Fu
Heyan was a judge for the finals. She didn''t have toe to the semi-finals today, but she was here
to see Shi Jin.
She said, "Moreover, these judges are inferior to President Song and me. It doesn''t matter if you
meet them or not."
Only the higher-ups of the Piano Association would dare to say such words.
Xiao Li originally thought that Shi Jin was just here as a formality. When he saw Fu Heyan, he
realized that he had misunderstood.
Although he didn''t know Fu Heyan, he had done some research and found out that she was the
champion of the Chopinpetition 15 years ago. She had a great reputation and was a god-like
existence.
"When is President Songing over?" Shi Jin asked.
"Soon." Fu Heyan nced at the time. "He didn''t intend toe, but you''re participating in the
competition. He said he woulde to witness the birth of a miracle."
Shi Jin smiled.
Outside the Philharmonic Music Hall.
Shi Xuexin had arrived early as well.
Warsaw had been full of people for the past few days, and the hotel they stayed in was very far
away, so it took them some time to get there in the morning.
Because they were not invited and did not manage to get tickets, they could not enter. However, Hu
Lai did not necessarily have to go in. She had asked Shi Xuexin toe over just to set up a
persona for her. At the same time, she wanted to help her get a good ranking in the uing Ivy
Leaguepetition to familiarize herself with the venue.
It was Yu Xinhua''s first time standing at the entrance of such a grand and dignified concert hall, and
a sense of pride rose in her heart. She patted Shi Xuexin on the shoulder and said excitedly, "You
can definitely enter the venue when you participate in the next Ivy Leaguepetition."
Shi Xuexin nodded.
Hu Lai asked, "Do you want to go to the washroom?"
"There''s no need. I''ll take a look here," said Shi Xuexin with a nod.
"Then I''ll go myself. Wait for me here." Hu Lai threw the bag to Shi Xuexin.
Inparison, Shi Xuexin was more like a manager than her. She did all the chores, but whenever
she thought of Chu Ling, she would dly endure it.
As Shi Xuexin was speaking to Yuxiu Hua, a man walked over from the front. He was tall and thin
and looked rather charismatic.
He walked straight towards them.
This made Shi Xuexin feel slightly surprised. Seeing that the person was approaching, she had no
choice but to greet him, "Hello, Teacher Song."
It was Song Huaixian. He came specially to watch Shi Jin''spetition today.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling him. He stopped in his tracks and nced at the person. He
nodded as a greeting.
Shi Xuexin was in no mood to talk to him. Song Huaixian was in a hurry as well, so he walked
straight in.
Yu Xiuhua asked, "Do you know him, Xuexin?"
