Chapter 308: Massive Smack in the Face


    After Cheng Juan said his piece, he turned to leave the Violin Association.


    Cheng Jin put theputer on the co-pilot seat casually, while Cheng Juan sat in the back seat. He put one hand on the door and casually yed with the recorder with the other.


    Suddenly, he thought of something. Taking out his phone, he sent a picture to Master Wei.


    Cheng Jin started the car and gradually drove out to the main road. At the same time, the mobile phone he ced in his car rang. He turned on the Bluetooth headset and answered a call from Cheng Tu.


    Master Juan. Cheng Tu and the others are in trouble. Cheng Jin nced in the rearview mirror.


    Pressing the recorders key, Master Weis conversation with Dai Ran sounded. Looking rather indifferent, Cheng Juan replied in a rxed tone, What is it?

    At the Violin Association, in Master Weis office.


    Because Cheng Juan was present, he had held himself back from going onto Weibo despite burning with curiosity. However, his phone kept ringing, and it was almostgging.


    After Cheng Juan left, Master Wei quickly nced at Uncle Hai. Uncle Hai, close the door!


    Uncle Hai went to close the office door.


    Sitting on the sofa in the office, Master Wei quickly opened his Weibo to take a look.


    His Weibo was a littleggy, and he couldnt get in on his first try. But on the second try, it got better and showed an overwhelming number of likes,ments, and tags.


    Master Weis Weibo post was very simple and had nothing else other than a video.


    The enthusiasm these days was sky-high. Netizens had switched from Qin Yu to Dai Ran, jumping on the bandwagon everywhere. Only Master Wei had remained silent, which madeizens even more certain that he was guilty.


    After the video was posted, some people didnt even bother watching it and immediately insulted him!


    You said that Qin Yu giarizedst time and so you didnt ept her. But now, your own apprentice giarized! Arent you going back on your words?


    Please apologize to Qin Yu!


    Such posts were liked and extremely popr.


    But five minutester, a new reply gradually surfaced.


    Erm, everyone, wait. I think were standing on the wrong side. Everyone, please watch the video first


    This personplimented Qin Ran and even apologized to Master Wei.


    Soon, several new apologyments were posted.


    Even the poprmenter that had asked Master Wei to apologize to Qin Yu replied under his ownment, abusing Qin Yu and Dai Ran!


    The crowd of onlookers going with the flow were confused and clicked on the video.


    The video was only five minutes, and it was evidently from several years ago. The video quality was far from the current high-definition, but the person who shot it probably learned videography professionally before, as all other aspects were excellent.


    Last year, after Qin Yus performance in the exhibitionpetition, Dai Ran had epted her as an apprentice because of the spirituality in her violin music.


    Then, her video had quickly be popr on the Inte. Since then, she became a professional violin blogger and had umted many fans.


    Most of her fans had fallen for her due to her first song, but Qin Yu hadntposed further and had focused on disying her violin techniques.


    When caught in the violin giarism storm, most people hadnt listened to Qin Rans violin music. The small number of people who listened to it andmented that Qin Ran yed better than Qin Yu had beenpletely refuted. As such, no one dared say anything about Qin Rans violin music. Those who dared to say so were used of covering up for her wrongdoings and defending her.


    Until today.


    Qin Rans early violin music didnt have much skill, but the first version was full of emotion, like a me dancing in the dark night,pletely different from Qin Yus light and gentle adaptation.


    Qin Yu hadnt been able to understand this kind of emotion and couldnt control this style of music. Thus, she had adapted it and blended a few tunes into it, making it a petty rearrangement.


    It wasnt obvious if it wasnt directlypared, but once it was, itpletely came out short!


    Even those who had jumped onto the bandwagon and didnt understand music all had to admit this fact.


    Most importantly, everyone could see the background in the video. The TV was muted, but it still showed the live broadcast of a sports meeting.


    It was the International Games four years ago.


    Teenagers of 15- or 16-years-old were in the growth period and changed day by day. Even if there wasnt a TV in the background, everyone could see that the 16-year-old Qin Ran had short hair and a fresh look. Everything could be faked except time.


    Qin Yu said it took her a month to write it out bit by bit a year ago


    Manyizens finally understood the truth in front ofputers and mobile phones.


    Of course, there were also some suspicions. Why did Qin Yu have the manuscript of the music? She had even published it.


    When this question was posted, Master Weis Weibo was updated again!


    [Manuscript of the sheet music? My apprentice has a lot.]


    He also posted a picture along with the post, showing a pile of crumpled sheet music ced on the ground casually.


    Unlike the video, this picture was very clear. Even the writings inside could be seen clearly when zoomed in.


    The handwriting on the manuscript was messy and unruly. It was the exact same handwriting as the one Qin Yu had posted on Weibo before. Unlike her, Master Weis picture showed several manuscripts, while Qin Yu only had one!


    There was no need for anyone to tie up loose ends. The truth was already out.


    As soon as the video and the picture were posted, theizens blew up. Over the past two days, Dai Ran believed that Master Wei couldnt produce evidence. Eager for quick sess and gains, he had brought an army ofizens and a spot on the hot search to blow this matter up. Now, it was like entering the bees nest, and the response was earth-shattering.


    Netizens had scolded Master Wei on Weibo day and night, but at this moment, things took a turn, and they all apologized to him. Soon after, they went toment on Dai Rans Weibo.


    Dai Rans homepage was still showing the Weibo post he posted an hour ago, saying that he felt disdainful towards people who giarized. He had even pinned this post to the top, showing his firm stand.


    At that time, theizens all supported his defending of his apprentices rights and had also left encouraging messages praising his spirit. But now, they realized it had simply been created out of thin air, making them feel extremely disgusted.

    At Dai Rans side.


    He came out of the conference room and went to teach the students on the second floor.


    At the end of the ss, some people started whispering in low voices and stealing nces at him. Unaware of what happened, Dai Ran shushed them and then frowned. He left without finishing the ss.


    As soon as he went out, people from his party rushed over.


    Whats the matter? Why are you all so anxious? Dai Ran patted his sleeves.


    Its not good, Teacher Dai. Look at Weibo! The other persons face was pale, and he looked flustered.


    Dai Rans heart skipped a beat. This matter didnt seem trivial.


    He opened Weibo immediately.


    Weibo was a littleggy, and incessant notifications of new messages popped up.


    Although Dai Ran was a teacher of the Violin Association, he was only well-known within the industry and had less than two million fans on his Weibo. Although his fans had increased recently because of Qin Yu, he was still rather unknown.


    He clicked on thement page, and thetest Weiboment was no longer supporting him. Instead, it was scolding him as shameful, saying that he was a hypocrite and unworthy of being a teacher. Someone even asked if he was pping his own face


    What was going on?!


    Dai Ran was a little panicked right now. He followed what theizens said and clicked on Master Weis Weibo. The first thing he saw was the picture full of manuscripts, and the second thing he saw was the video from four years ago.


    Dai Rans mind buzzed, and his eyes turned dark.


    Teacher Dai, what should we do now? In the past two days, people had already taken sides after seeing the situation between Teacher Dai and Master Wei. With such a development now, those people standing on Dai Rans side had already begun regretting picking sides too early.


    Dai Rans head was empty. The words hypocrite and unworthy of being a teacher spun in his mind He originally thought these names would be used on Master Wei, but at this time, he couldnt bear it now that they were being used on him.


    Wait Dai Ran took the phone and started posting a new Weibo in a panic, trying to save himself


    [I wasnt aware that Master Wei already knew his apprentice didnt giarize. He never told me, and just let things develop to such a point. He made me defend my apprentice like a clown. But for this matter, Im very apologetic towards Qin Ran and Master Wei]

    At this time, Cheng Juan had returned to Ting Lan.


    Instead of going upstairs, he sat on the sofa in the lobby, holding hisputer on hisp and resting his legs casually on the coffee table. He had his headphones on and was editing Cheng Jins recording.


    Taking out his phone and flipping through Dai Rans Weibo, he smiled.


    Cheng Mu brought him a cup of water, and he couldnt help but tremble at the sight of his smile.


    Cheng Juan drank the water and continued editing the recording. He opened Weibo and clicked on Dai Rans new post. Then, he slowly sent the recording link without hesitation


    Many people clicked on this recording link.


    It was the conversation between Master Wei and Dai Ran.


    Dai Ran, I saidst year that Qin Yus original song was giarized. Thats because I heard her original version a long time ago. Did Qin Yu make any newpositions this year? I dont believe that youre unclear.


    You can put whatever you want in your mouth, but you should be mindful of whates out of it. Im sure you understand this point better than me.


    I dont care what happens to her. Ive already told you, as long as you post an apology on Weibo and give up the student position of Continent Ms Association, everything can be discussed.


    Dai Rans tone was sarcastic and aggressive,pletely opposite from what he said on Weibo. Without a doubt, he had always known the truth.
