Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 679 - 429: What wildcard contestant, worthy of shaking hands with me?

Chapter 679: Chapter 429: What wildcard contestant, worthy of shaking hands with me?

"Mr. Nishikawa?"

Although it was somewhat surprising to see him here, Lin Tian had mentally prepared himself beforehand, so he didn’t react too strongly.

"I can’t believe I’m really seeing you here!"

Nishikawa Yuubei, dressed in a black suit, was a 90s kid but had a face that conformed to the delicate aesthetic often appreciated in Japanese culture. His radiant smile exuded both nobility and elegance.

As soon as he arrived, Nishikawa Yuubei extended his hand and firmly shook Lin Tian’s hand,

"I’ve heard about your and Gan Yanyu’s achievements lately. In Japan, you both are now the most famous musicians from Tian Chao! I’ve been looking forward to today’s meeting before I came!"

"You flatter us."

Lin Tian responded humbly.

At this time, two white-faced men in suits standing beside Nishikawa Yuubei came over, curious as to why Nishikawa Yuubei was suddenly so enthusiastic about a young man:

"(Mr. Nishikawa, who is this...)"

"Oh."

Instead of introducing Lin Tian immediately, Nishikawa Yuubei turned to introduce the two gentlemen to Lin Tian first:

"Mr. Lin Tian, this is the American cellist Chupnos Brian, last year’s ’Wante Cup’ champion in the United States."

The burly, blonde man, Brian, lifted his head proudly.

"This is the Brazilian cellist Noel Perkins, who has won the national competition for five consecutive years."

The shorter, heavier Perkins smiled humbly.

"Hmm."

Lin Tian nodded.

He was familiar with both their names, as they were listed among those Wan Qi had indicated as "worthy rivals".

However, Lin Tian didn’t see Nishikawa Yuubei’s partner, Isaac.

But it seemed that these two were musicians making waves in their respective countries.

No wonder they got along well with Nishikawa Yuubei.

Musicians of this caliber naturally gravitate toward one another, don’t they?

Today, like Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, they probably came to "scout the competition".

"Mr. Lin Tian is a pianist friend I’ve known for a long time. He and his partner, Mr. Gan Yanyu, are also participants in this year’s Keller Cup."

Nishikawa Yuubei introduced them to the two gentlemen.

"(So he’s a friend of Mr. Nishikawa!)"

Overjoyed, Brian immediately extended his hand and shook Lin Tian’s.

"(May I ask from which country you are a pianist?)"

"Tian Chao."

"....."

Upon hearing the country, Brian’s mouth twitched visibly.

But he quickly regained his composure and continued, delighted:

"(I’m familiar with competitions in Tian Chao! Then you and your partner must be Dragon Violin Cup champions!! To emerge from a nation of over one billion people and represent your country alone in Vienna is truly admirable...)"

"No."

Lin Tian chuckled,

"We didn’t make it to the finals."

"...."

Brian’s expression froze the moment he heard these words.

He slowly withdrew his hand, pulling out a handkerchief from his suit pocket.

Then, he started wiping the hand that had just shaken hands with Lin Tian....

"(Damn, who dared shake hands with me from a wildcard invite?!!!)"

Brian let out a howl of despair.

He felt unclean!!

What kind of thing, what level, dared to shake hands with him?!

He thought being acquainted with Mr. Nishikawa meant he must be some unknown master.

Unexpectedly, not only from the wildcard section,

but also not even the champion of it!

This was clearly someone who got in through connections!!

It’s hard to imagine such a person didn’t even have to qualify and could directly participate in the second stage!

Perkins, standing by, also looked at Lin Tian with a somewhat horrified expression after the conversation.

His terror wasn’t because of Lin Tian’s identity, but because Mr. Nishikawa knew such a person!

It was really lowering himself!

"(You’ve gone too far with your words, Mr. Brian.)"

Nishikawa Yuubei said seriously to Brian.

"(I have something to attend to, so I won’t be accompanying you, Mr. Nishikawa. See you inside later!)"

Brian left these words and turned to leave first.

As he walked, he glanced back at Lin Tian, as if he had touched something very unlucky, quickly showing a desperate expression, and hastened his pace.

Perkins also said "Goodbye" and turned to leave.

"....."

Watching this scene, Lin Tian found it somewhat amusing.

However, Nishikawa Yuubei showed an expression of difficulty and embarrassment:

"I’m sorry, Mr. Lin Tian. Mr. Brian is like this. A musician who became famous young is inherently proud. Don’t mind him, his character isn’t bad; he just has low emotional intelligence."

"You don’t need to apologize."

Lin Tian smiled, "I don’t mind."

After all, in Lin Tian’s eyes, those two were just kids.

In truth, not everyone is like Gan Yanyu, who remains humble and eager to learn even after gaining fame early.

In the lofty music world, pretense and opportunism are the norms.

Nishikawa Yuubei was too much of a nice guy, explaining continuously even though Lin Tian hadn’t said much.

"After Mr. Lin Tian and your partner perform, Mr. Brian will certainly change his perspective on you both!"
