Chapter 478 Come back next year

  Xiao Bai at the side also heard the meaning of the middle-aged woman in front of him.

  His gaze sank, and he frowned slightly.

  Xiaobai never thought that a woman who could be regarded as a stranger would actually make such a rude request.

  His thinking is the same as his wife's, and he can't just squander it at will just because their family has money.

  So Xiaobai immediately said to the woman, "I will help you find a guide. As for where to go and how much your budget is, you can communicate with the guide at that time."

  The implication is that how much money you have, you can go as far as you can.

  As for him, his wife and daughter...

   "After the competition is over, we still have some business abroad, so we won't go back to China with the competition team." Xiaobai said.

   One thing the woman said is right. Since you are here, you should take a good look around and let the children broaden their horizons.

  So he will take his daughter around to see more.

   After saying this, Xiaobai said without waiting for the woman to say anything else, "We have to go back to rest, and the guide will contact you the day after tomorrow."

   Then he took his daughter's hand and put his arms around his wife's waist, and the family of three walked upstairs—

  The woman behind her was full of displeasure, thinking that rich people are really stingy!

  …

  Early the next morning, Xiao Qingning got up and put on a white heavy-duty small trailing gauze skirt with short front and long back, put on a coat, went downstairs to have breakfast with her parents, and waited to go to the competition venue.

  Today is the beginning of the piano competition. The contestants, regardless of whether they are in the children's group, the junior group or the youth group, will wear decent clothes.

   This little dress is the competition costume that Lan Shu prepared for her daughter.

  Get ready, everyone get in the car and go to the competition location.

  In a large auditorium in the city of Seine, contestants from all over the world gathered together, and everyone performed on the stage in sequence according to the sequence number.

  The children's group is at the forefront. There are more than 20 contestants who are qualified to reach this stage. Xiao Qingning's playing rank is in the middle and late stages, and Junjun's playing rank is ahead of Xiao Qingning.

   To be honest, this order of appearance is not good, because the judges are already tired of their ears. Unless it is a particularly outstanding performance, it will not attract the attention of the judges at all, and there is no way to get a high score.

   But even knowing this, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai couldn't change anything.

  All they can do is tell their daughter—

   "Little Qingning, come on!"

   "Just perform normally on stage."

  The contestants in the children's group came on the stage one by one, and each performed and scored for a few minutes. After an hour, it was Junjun who came on stage.

  Junjun is less than eight years old this year, and he is the youngest contestant in the children's group. He is wearing a small black suit and black tie, and looks like a little gentleman.

   Knowing his age, the judges in the audience looked at him twice more, and then Junjun's performance began!

  Junjun has not been learning piano for a long time, only two years, but his playing level is already better than many contestants in the children's group who have just competed.

   At the end of the song, Junjun got a good score.

   And the next one, it's time for Xiao Qingning to play.

   Xiao Qingning, who was wearing a white sleeveless dress and gauze skirt, stepped onto the stage in milky white leather shoes. Before her performance began, she had already attracted the attention of many judges.

   Not for other reasons, just because the little girl is so beautiful!

  Like a pure and flawless little angel!

   Such beauty is not only about her appearance, but also her outfit, which is quite dazzling under the lights of the stage!

  Placed among the contestants in the children's group, her appearance gives the intuitive impression, and she can definitely be called outstanding!

  When she sat in front of the piano and began to perform, Xiao Qingning showed her five-year learning achievements, and finally got unanimous high marks from the judges.

  After the contestants in the children's group performed one by one, the results of the competition will not be announced until all the contestants in the other groups have finished.

   But even though the final result is not known yet, judging from Xiao Qingning's performance on the spot, her results should be good.

   "Congratulations, Mr. Lan, Gu Qingning played very well."

  While Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were sitting in the audience watching other teams' matches, a youth team leader from the domestic competition happened to be sitting in front of them, and turned his head and said.

  For other people's compliments, Xiaobai responded politely and said, "Thank you."

  The leading teacher of the youth group smiled and didn’t say anything more. Instead, he turned around and listened carefully to the performances of the other contestants.

  The piano competition lasted quite a long time. There was an hour and a half break in the middle, and the competition was finished after three o'clock in the afternoon.

   Afterwards is the awards ceremony.

  Although Xiao Qingning played very well, she only took second place in the children's group.

  Junjun didn't even make the top three.

  However, before the competition, everyone did not expect to win the championship in one fell swoop.

   Such a result was expected, but Xiao Qingning's ranking was a surprise.

  Junjun failed to enter the top three, feeling a little disappointed, but fortunately Xiao Qingning said from the side, "Cousin, let's come back next year!"

  Xiao Qingning felt that she hadn’t played her best when she performed on stage, so she was looking forward to the next competition.

  Junjun nodded when he heard what Cousin Qingning said.

  Next time, he will definitely perform better!

  After the competition that brought together piano contestants from many countries ended, Xiaobai returned to the hotel, just as he said before, he found a guide to meet with the people from the competition party, and arranged for the tour itinerary for the next day.

  And he plans to take his wife and daughter around and play for a few more days.

  Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu originally wanted to take their son to play together, but Junjun was not in a good mood and wanted to go home to practice the piano, so the three of them returned home early.

  After Lan Shu's family of three spent two days abroad, Mark arranged for several people in the clothing sales industry to meet Lan Shu.

  In order to find these people, Mark first contacted several leaders of garment factories that cooperated with their machine factory, and after making friends with each other, he met these salesmen under the introduction of the other party.

  Introducing these people to Lan Shu, Mark would offend the people in the foreign garment factory, but he still did it.

  With Mark's matchmaking, Lan Shu has full confidence in the strength of their garment factory.

  After connecting with several salesmen in the foreign clothing industry, Lan Shu invited them to go to Shencheng to see her factory if they had time.

   Several people came here for Mark's sake.

  But I saw Miss Lan, and a tall and straight man beside her who was comparable to a top model, and a girl dressed like a little princess beside them.

  The clothes on the three of them are synonymous with nobility and fashion at a glance.

  So they are very interested in the clothing export business that Miss Lan mentioned.

  Decided to go to the country where Ms. Lan is located in a while, and have a look at the clothing styles in her factory.
