Chapter 3030: Qiao Nian, Do You Have to Pretend You Didn’t See?

Qiao Nian watched as he bent over the table and took out a leave slip. She stood quietly at the side and waited. His figure looked free and casual.
Someone else was also in the office this entire time.
However, Liang Conglin’s attention had been on Qiao Nian ever since she came in. That person was also obedient and stood aside to reduce his presence.
Liang Conglin quickly approved the new leave slip and reluctantly handed it to Qiao Nian. “Aren’t you going to reconsider it?”
Qiao Nian took the slip from him. “Thank you.”
Liang Conglin sighed again. Then, he thought of something. “By the way, do you have time to represent Qing University in an international musical arrangement competition in a few days?”
“Hm?”
Qiao Nian was about to leave after receiving the leave form.
Liang Conglin hurriedly said, “This is an extremely prestigious international competition. The other Western musical instrument groups in the music department have found suitable candidates among the students. Only the traditional musical instruments group has been unable to find a representative… Master Nie says he would rather give up this competition than discredit traditional music. I’m having a headache over this matter. Since you’re back, do you have time to write an arrangement?”
Everyone at Qing University knew that Qiao Nian was the famous Zhui Guang. As the principal, Liang Conglin naturally knew.
Therefore, upon seeing Qiao Nian, he thought of the difficult problem he had been facing recently.
Qiao Nian roughly understood what he meant and asked with a deep gaze, “Every country will choose a traditional instrument to represent them?”
Liang Conglin was stunned before nodding. Then, he smiled bitterly. “That’s right. You know that the instruments represented by the Western countries are the common violins and saxophones. Not many of our students learn traditional instruments, and even fewer specialize in them. Those who can arrange music are even rarer…
“Under such circumstances, Master Nie gave up. At the very least, he won’t lose too badly.
“After all, our ancestors have thousands of years of heritage. Master Nie is unwilling to lose to an instrument with only hundreds of years of history. I’m also unwilling!”
Qiao Nian put away the slip expressionless. Then, she pulled down her cap and calmly said, “I have time.”
“Really?” Liang Conglin was surprised and delighted.
Qiao Nian nodded seriously. “Just an arrangement, right?”
Liang Conglin instantly became energetic. “For the competition, just write an arrangement and hand it to the organizers.”
“Sure.”
Qiao Nian agreed and asked him about the deadline.
It was neither long nor short. There were still five or six days left.
She could probably write a song.
Qiao Nian told Liang Conglin she would write the score for the traditional group. Of course, Liang Conglin was overjoyed and agreed.
Qiao Nian chatted with him for a while more. Then, seeing it was about time, she bade him farewell and left for the sanatorium.
Jiang Li and the others did not know she was back.
As Qiao Nian walked, she touched the small bottle of pills she had brought for Old Master Jiang in her pocket and was thinking about how to get there.
Suddenly, someone stopped her on the road outside Qing University.
Qiao Nian frowned and looked up impatiently. Upon seeing who it was, she was surprised for a short moment.
Then, she pretended not to see him and tried to walk around him.
Fu Ge did not give her a chance. He opened his arms and blocked the way. “I think we’re at least friends. Do you have to pretend not to see me?”
