Chapter 206: Who Stole Whose Music Piece?
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Because the music Rong Qi played had a melody almost identical to the one Rong Feiyu played on the piano earlier. But there were differences as well. Rong Feiyu’s piano piece had a lighter and more sorrowful rhythm, while Rong Qi’s violin piece seemed grander, with an ethereal melody that conveyed not sorrow but disappointment and melancholy.
Listening to Rong Feiyu’s piano piece evoked the image of a couple in love suddenly breaking up, but Rong Qi’s violin piece seemed to transport people back to ancient times, when a warrior who had fought battles in his youth but remained unfulfilled in old age, filled with regret and melancholy. The latter piece was more emotionally evocative.
Or one could say that the latter piece was of a higher level compared to Rong Feiyu.
Everyone felt that the same melody played by Rong Qi was truly brought to life in her hands.
A true master should be Rong Qi playing the violin.
As the music ended, the audience was in shock. Even Rong Tianshi and Rong Feiyu could not believe that Rong Qi’s violin skills were so promising.
Rong Feiyu’s heart skipped a beat, sensing a sense of impending doom.
Sure enough, Rong Qi spoke into the microphone with her cool voice echoing throughout the entire auditorium, “Thank you all for listening. This piece was composed by my grandfather. Thank you all for your appreciation and support.”
After that, the audience erupted into noise once again.
“Wasn’t this composed by Rong Feiyu? How did it become her grandfather’s piece?”
“What’s going on? 1 heard they are sisters, could there be a misunderstanding?”
“It’s also possible that Rong Qi stole Rong Feiyu’s music piece and deliberately claimed it as her own. Since this piece is new and doesn’t have copyright, it can be said in any way.”
“But honestly, 1 feel like Rong Qi played it better. Moreover, I find it hard to believe that Rong Feiyu could create such a music piece…”
The audience was in a heated debate, and even the teachers didn’t know how to judge the situation.
In the music industry, plagiarism was a shameful act that could permanently stain a person’s reputation. Both Rong Qi and Rong Feiyu were seen as disgraceful for being involved in this.
Qiu Yonggen, seeing Rong Tianshi’s face getting worse, immediately took the microphone and explained, “Everyone just heard it. This piece was indeed played by Rong Feiyu first. Rong Feiyu is an outstanding student, talented and virtuous. Therefore, I personally believe in Rong Feiyu.”
With the deputy principal making such a statement, no one would dare to have a different opinion. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, they would not express them.
The Principal, Mr. Zhang was not present, and the entire Capital University was under Qiu Yonggen’s control. However, the students from Class 7 dared to speak up.
Huang Hao sneered, “According to the deputy principal’s logic, whoever comes first then they are first? Hehehe, careful now Mr. Deputy Principal. The people from BAE are watching.”
Huang Hao’s shifting of focus made Qiu Yonggen’s stomach ache. Qiu Yonggen was worried that BAE would take action again, so he dared not speak further and sat down angrily.
Rong Feiyu’s face was tearful, looking innocent. She said, “Why are you targeting me like this, Qi? I composed this music piece after months of effort. If you stole it, then admit it. Why do you have to defame me?”
The people sitting next to Rong Feiyu quickly comforted her.
Zhong Wentao and Su Yifan testified for Rong Feiyu, “Everyone, we heard with our own ears that Rong Feiyu practiced in the music room every day, so we also believe in her.”
The teachers nodded, comparing the past achievements of Rong Qi and Rong Feiyu. Gradually, their balance of judgment began to lean towards Rong Feiyu..
