Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 200 - 167: No Matter What, We Will Keep Playing!

...

In the morning, the first segment of the competition ended with an intermission.

In the backstage hallway of the concert hall, accompanied by his assistant Tian Rui, Tuoba Jianhui was about to enter his office when he was blocked by the figure of a young man.

Tuoba Jianhui looked up and saw Lin Tian.

"It’s you."

"I need a clear explanation about what you said on stage just now."

Lin Tian stared into Tuoba’s eyes and said.

Tian Rui instinctively wanted to step in front of Tuoba Jianhui, but the old man gently pushed him away with one hand—

"Is it not clear enough?"

Tuoba Jianhui, expressionless, said to Lin Tian,

"That child’s performance, if not stopped, will one day lead to serious problems."

"You should know this better than anyone, Lin Tian?"

"....."

Hearing Tuoba Jianhui call his name, Lin Tian’s heart trembled.

Then, a hint of unwillingness flashed through his mind.

He certainly knew.

As Gan Yanyu’s partner, no one understood the situation better than Lin Tian.

From the "No. 40 Symphony" to the "E minor Cello Concerto" to "Por Una Cabeza"...

Along the way, every practice, every performance.

He witnessed firsthand the moments Gan Yanyu nearly lost herself in her completely immersive playing.

He understood the painful price Gan Yanyu, with her Demon King-like performance, had to pay.

God is very fair.

It gives you the ability to converse with your soul.

And the final outcome is inevitably falling into hell.

"But..."

Just as Lin Tian was about to speak, Tuoba Jianhui put his finger on the young man’s forehead.

"Don’t you understand yet?"

Tuoba Jianhui said,

"If left unchecked, what she consumes will not only be herself, but also all the people around her."

That is the most terrifying part.

Gan Yanyu is like a black hole, mercilessly crushing anyone who tries to get close to her.

When she performs solo, she destroys herself; in a duet, the pain is shared by her partner; if it were an orchestra, even a conductor like Tuoba Jianhui could be destroyed.

And Lin Tian, he understood all too well.

Whether it was in the concert performing the "No. 40 Symphony", where Lin Tian desperately tried to understand Gan Yanyu’s heart, leading to his frenzied actions.

Or the first time synching with Gan Yanyu, dancing in the illusion, and subsequently experiencing that chilling sensation.

Perhaps only a "madman" like Lin Tian.

Would voluntarily choose to enter Gan Yanyu’s world and fall alongside her.

"Publicly, I do not wish for such performances to continue; her presence is a disaster for the competition."

"Privately, Elder Gan is my dear friend, and I cannot stand idly by and watch this child’s life be destroyed by music. If she can only perform in such a dangerous manner, then she is not suited for the path of music. For this, I am willing to use my influence to make this child give up this path completely."

Tuoba Jianhui’s authoritative voice fell, his tone more fierce than ever before, causing Tian Rui beside him to be too scared to move.

"I think I have made myself quite clear. Since you are Gan Yanyu’s friend, I hope you also think it through carefully, what truly is best for that child."

With that, Tuoba Jianhui’s face turned cold, and he pushed open the door to his office.

Just as he was about to enter.

—Lin Tian’s hand, once again stopped him.

Tuoba Jianhui frowned, turned his head, and at that moment, the young man’s eyes were fixed on him, unflinchingly.

Inside the office, including Yao Han and He Shumo, several judges and staff members saw the scene at the door and were dumbstruck.

"Constantly claiming it’s for Yanyu’s good... but have you truly understood?!"

Lin Tian denounced him word by word,

"She has severe asthma, so she memorized hundreds of pieces of music, just to be able to stand on stage like a normal person; she has severe mental illness, for which she took medication, exercised, returned to the campus life, and strived to become more optimistic. Gan Yanyu knows better than anyone that she is not suited for music, yet she has always been trying to change!"

"You, with your casual ’she’s not suited’, want to negate all her efforts towards music, if she’s not suited, does she f***ing need you to say it?! Stop pretending to be a venerable elder, Gan Yanyu got to where she is today entirely through her own efforts, and it has nothing to do with you sitting on your high horse, you arrogant old man!"

"....."

"Stop talking... stop talking..."

Tian Rui, who was beside him, hurriedly tugged at Lin Tian’s sleeve, sweating profusely.

The office was also silent, and everyone was too frightened to say a word.

How dare he speak to Mr. Tuoba like that.

He is the head judge of the Yingqin Cup, a senior of seniors in the music industry... Even sitting in the judge’s seats, the other teachers had to speak with the utmost respect.

Yao Han’s heart was in turmoil, and he was already thinking of finding a window to jump out of...

However, Lin Tian was not done.

Finally, he said coldly,

"Even if you use backdoor tactics to kick us out, it doesn’t matter, either way, Gan Yanyu and I will keep going down this path."

After saying that, Lin Tian turned and left.

"....."

Leaving behind the teachers who dared not even breathe heavily, and a gloomy-faced, silent Tuoba Jianhui.

...

...

"Lin... Lin Tian?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

On the ride home, Gan Yanyu cautiously spoke up.

"What is it?"

"Are you okay?"

After seeing Lin Tian return from Mr. Tuoba’s office and remaining silent, Gan Yanyu couldn’t help but worry.

"I’m fine."

Lin Tian waved his hand and tried to calm his emotions.

"The preliminary ratings have come out." Gan Yanyu said softly.

"Twelve judges gave out 3 A+ grades, 4 A, 3 B+, 2 B grades, Mr. Tuoba’s grade was B."

"I thought he would directly give us an E grade," Lin Tian sneered.

The competition’s scoring system is graded from A+ to E, with C as passable, B and above as good, A as excellent.

It seems that despite how unpleasant his words are, this old man still respects reality and hasn’t given Gan Yanyu’s performance too low a score.

Otherwise it would be too obviously targeted, and would not look good in front of the music media.

In fact, Gan Yanyu’s performance should have received more than 3 A+ grades, this result also had Tuoba Jianhui’s influence, many judges’ scores might have been more or less influenced by his opinion.

Regardless, more than half of the judges gave a grade of A or higher.

Advancing to the semi-finals shouldn’t be a big problem.

"Lin Tian....."

Just then, Gan Yanyu called out to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian turned his head, and the girl quietly asked,

"Do you think... what Mr. Tuoba said, is true?"
