Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 60
60 Intoxicated
“Beauty, why don’t you let me give it a try?” A male voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
Everyone immediately followed the voice and saw a young man in a white suit standing outside the crowd, smiling at the girl playing the piano.
“I also graduated with a piano major. I’m a Grade-10 professional. Last year, I was lucky enough to win a gold award in the domestic piano competition.”
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he attracted the exclamations of the guests.
“I know about that piano competition. It’s still very valuable!”
!!
“Doesn’t winning a gold award in a piano competition mean that he won first place? This young man is quite impressive!”
“It looks like the boss’s daughter has found an opponent this time. This reward is definitely going to be given out!”
When the beautiful woman playing the piano heard the young man’s words, she stopped playing and stood up. “Of course, sir.”
After saying this, she smiled. At the same time, she was looking forward to it.
The young man’s gaze kept moving around the beauty’s face. Ye Xuan and the others finally saw her true colors.
There was no lipstick on her cherry-like mouth. Her delicate face, coupled with her long and straight black hair, gave off the gentle feeling of a young lady from a humble family.
She was indeed a great beauty that warmed one’s heart.
It was no wonder this young man couldn’t move his eyes when he saw her.
The young man caressed the piano keys and played a Beethoven sonata.
The fast and bright tune sounded from under the young man’s fingers.
The surrounding spectators were simply dazzled. The young man’s hands seemed to be dancing on the piano keys as he quickly and accurately pressed the keys one after another.
The young man didn’t play for long and only played a short part.
The performance ended quickly in a few minutes. He stood up confidently and smiled at the beauty. “How is it? Is my performance okay?”
The spectators could not help but feel helpless.
He knew that he could do it, and he played decently well. Was there a need to be so proud?
Unexpectedly, the beauty shook her head indifferently.
The young man and the onlookers were all stunned.
They looked at the beauty in confusion.
He had already played so well. Couldn’t he pass?
The beauty took a step forward gently. “Your rhythm is not bad, and your piano skills are considered outstanding. I can tell that you’re a professional contestant. However, you played four notes incorrectly just now. It’s because of your background that this is almost unforgivable.”
The beauty seemed to have an extreme pursuit of playing the piano and did not allow any flaws to appear.
Of course, she had her own reasons.
As a professional piano player, he actually made four mistakes in a few minutes!
This was no longer a lack of skill, but a lack of love for the profession!
This was the most fatal mistake and what she looked down on the most.
Every musician who played the piano should have the most passionate love.
“I’m sorry, you didn’t get my approval.” Compared to her previous smile, the beautiful woman simply spoke coldly and sat back on the piano stool to continue playing.
The young man wanted to say something a few times, but he did not say anything. He also knew that he had made a few mistakes just now and did not have the courage to refute at all.
Originally, there were still a few eager customers. Seeing that the beauty’s requirements were so strict, they had already given up on going up.
They knew that their strength could not compare to the young man at all. If they went up, they would only embarrass themselves. Why bother?
Meanwhile, Ye Chan was a little eager to give it a try, but she also knew her own standards. “Sigh, if only our Fifth Sister was here. She could definitely help us get a free meal.”
Ye Xuan thought about it and said, “Fifth Sister?”
His Fifth Sister, Ye Fei, was the little empress of the Chinese music industry. She had been practicing various musical instruments since she was young. If his Fifth Sister came, it would be fine. However, Ye Xuan saw the expression on his Fourth Sister’s face.
“Fourth Sister, why don’t I go up and try?” Ye Xuan said.
When he said this, Ye Chan’s face was filled with helplessness and amusement. “Little brother, that person just now practiced the piano for more than ten years and was still not good. I’ve never seen you practice.”
“Don’t panic, my Fifth Sister taught me,” said Ye Xuan. Then, he prepared to walk forwards.
When the guests saw how young Ye Xuan was, they kindly wanted to stop him.
“Forget it. It’s useless even if we go up. With that beauty’s requirements, you can only reach her standards if you are an old man with decades of training at the very least!”
“That’s right! You’re so young. If you really suffer a blow, you’ll be the one to lose!”
“Little kid, there’s no need to be competitive! In my opinion, this beauty is just creating a gimmick to increase the popularity of the hotel.”
Although Ye Xuan was cute, the customers didn’t think highly of him.
After all, how old was Ye Xuan?
Eight years old?
Nine years old?
How many years of training did such a child have?
The person from before had been eliminated.
At that moment, they stopped Ye Xuan.
They were even slightly scornful.
This beauty wanted to make friends through playing the piano. Appearances were useless.
Hearing the words of the people beside her, Ye Chan was furious. After all, she and her sisters were the only ones who could talk to her younger brother like that. No one else could!
She stared at the people who felt that Ye Xuan couldn’t do it for a while.
Ye Xuan didn’t seem to hear anyone’s advice. He directly walked to the side of the piano and said to the beauty, “I want to try too.”
The beauty was stunned when she saw Ye Xuan. She smiled and nodded, “Little brother, what song do you want to play?”
Although Ye Xuan was a child, the beauty still gave him the respect he deserved. She thought about it and prepared to lower her standards. After all, the child in front of her was different from the young man just now.
Moreover, it was not good to destroy a child’s self-esteem and confidence.
Ye Xuan thought about it. Since it was a test of skills, he naturally had to play a more difficult piece.
“Let’s play the Piano Concerto No. 2.”
When she heard Ye Xuan’s reply, the beauty stood rooted to the ground and only reacted after a long while.
She didn’t expect Ye Xuan to choose the most difficult piano piece.
The Piano Concerto No. 2 was a typical Prussian-style piece. The anger and venting expressed in the piece needed to be extremely dense and concentrated. One could imagine the strength and explosive power needed to express the height of that emotion.
It was also because of this that this piano piece became the most difficult song among all songs.
The beauty thought for a moment and said, “Little brother, have you really thought about it? Actually, it’s fine to change the song.”
Ye Xuan just smiled and didn’t say anything.
Then, he walked up the stage.
After that, he sat down leisurely.
Everyone looked at Ye Xuan’s actions and smiled. He seemed like he could do it.
However, they didn’t expect this outcome.
The next moment.
Ye Xuan’s hands were like butterflies dancing on the piano keys.
Ye Xuan’s back was very straight and his side profile was well-defined. The seriousness in his eyes could almost seep out.
It was a little infatuating.
Ye Xuan chose to play the excerpt from the second movement of the concerto.
The beginning was slightly slow, but soon, a surge of excitement surged.
It was as if a huge wave was slapping at the audience, pushing them to the top of the wave.
Everyone stared at Ye Xuan in shock.
It was simply unbelievable.
This child’s hands seemed to have some kind of magic that caused their emotions to fluctuate. Their emotions surged quickly like a roller coaster.
The sound of the piano keys became faster and faster. There were many huge jumps. As a result, Ye Xuan’s hands flew up and landed accurately on the keys.
The spectators only felt an invisible hand grab the throats of their soul, forcing them to rise and fall with the rhythm of the music while they were nervous or relaxed.
How could this be?
Was this the charm of music?
Ye Xuan’s hands were getting faster and faster, and the force he used to hit the piano keys gradually increased.
It was as if a wave had slapped their faces. They could even feel the pain and pressure.
However, when they opened their eyes, they saw that they were standing in the luxurious hotel lobby. There were no traces of water on their face and hands.
This feeling was an exclamation from their soul.
Ye Xuan slowly retracted his hands and the performance ended.
However, the people beside him seemed to be still immersed in the rhythm of the music and did not wake up for a long time.
It was not until a moment later that they regained control of their intoxicated souls, as if they had woken up from a dream.
