Mu Qingying sat in front of the piano, simply playing a few notes to get a feel for the keys.
Sitting at his angle, Xu Mu had a clear view of Mu Qingying's profile.
Above her slender waist, a terrifying curve suddenly emerged.
Her figure was truly stunning.
Suddenly, Mu Qingying's fingers began to leap nimbly, and the music started.
As soon as the piece's prelude began, the music and techniques automatically surfaced in Xu Mu's mind.
This was Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu.
Zhou Hening also nodded secretly. Among piano pieces, this one was considered quite difficult.
But Mu Qingying's fingers, like dancing sprites, continuously leaped across the keys.
Many people around who weren't interested in music closed their eyes to listen carefully.
The beautiful melody transitioned from slow to fast, and then from fast to slow, completely captivating the listeners.
A few minutes later, as Mu Qingying finished the last note, the entire crowd erupted in thunderous applause.
"As expected of Miss Mu, even I, someone who doesn't understand music, am mesmerized."
"She's too strong. I feel there's no need to compare anymore. Who else but Miss Mu could be the winner?"
...
Not only the onlookers, but Su Yaya also walked over at this moment and took Mu Qingying's hand.
"Sister Qingying! You are incredible! My primary goal now is to surpass you!"
Su Yaya smiled.
"Yaya, you are too humble."
Mu Qingying smiled back. With her piece, who present could be her opponent?
Zhou Hening also said with a smile, "Truly remarkable, fully reaching the performance level. With this ability, you could hold your own concerts."
Hearing such high praise, Mu Qingying's smile deepened.
"Hahaha! Mr. Zhou has given such an evaluation, so today's winner is..."
"Wait!"
Before Su Weiye could finish his sentence, Lin Yang stood up with a calm expression.
Xu Mu shook his head from the side. It seemed the protagonist was about to start showing off.
"What is it?" Su Weiye looked at Lin Yang.
"This lady's ability is indeed strong, but I haven't played yet. It's a good chance for Mr. Zhou to evaluate me."
As Lin Yang spoke, he walked towards the piano.
Su Weiye frowned. "Who are you? You look a bit unfamiliar."
"Old Su, he is my distant cousin, named Lin Yang."
Li Feipeng immediately stood up to explain.
"Alright! This is fair and open. Since this young man wants to try, I naturally won't stop him."
Su Weiye nodded lightly.
In any case, he felt that Mu Qingying had performed so well that no one present could be her match.
Lin Yang sat in front of the piano, and his fingers had barely struck a few notes.
The faces of the few people present who understood music instantly froze.
Su Yaya looked at Lin Yang across the room and muttered, "Could it be that he... is going to play La Campanella?"
"That's right, it's Liszt's La Campanella."
Mu Qingying's expression also became strained.
The intervals in this piece were extremely wide, earning it the reputation of being one of the most difficult pieces in the world to play.
Zhou Hening also closed his eyes at this moment, listening intently. He hadn't expected such talent to emerge in Jiang City.
The extremely fast notes, like a tidal wave, pounded against the auditory nerves of everyone present.
Even those who didn't understand music could tell from the rapid tempo that this person was on par with Mu Qingying.
Su Weiye was completely bewildered. What was happening?
Was he going to be intercepted halfway?
If he couldn't choose the Mu family, he would definitely choose the Xu family.
The Xu family was powerful. He could also seize the opportunity to flatter them. In the future, if there were any profitable projects, the Xu family might include him.
But to have it snatched away by this person was truly worse than eating a cockroach.
Su Weiye regretted it now. If he had known this would happen, he might as well have partnered directly with the Xu family.
As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
The Mu family already had so many of his contracts; they wouldn't complain.
As the music ended, applause once again erupted from the crowd.
Mu Qingying was already stunned. She hadn't expected there to be such a master here. She would have played a more difficult piece if she had known.
Su Yaya's eyes flickered. This man was clearly frivolous, yet his piano skills were so strong.
Lin Yang smiled at his surroundings. This display of showing off was executed perfectly.
He loved this feeling the most.
"Impressive! Only a few notes were played slightly slowly in the middle of this piece, and the tempo was a bit unstable, but other aspects were of the highest caliber."
Zhou Hening gave Lin Yang a thumbs-up. "Jiang City is truly full of hidden talents. If you hone your skills for a few more years, becoming a master is a certainty."
Hearing such high praise, everyone present was dumbfounded.
This truly was a wild card that had appeared unexpectedly.
Mu Qingying clenched her fists. She was not convinced. She could also use a more difficult piece to prove herself.
The main reason was that she felt it was unnecessary to go to that trouble just now.
Su Weiye was completely flustered. He had thought that coming up with this solution was genius.
He hadn't expected to have done all the work for someone else.
The most excited person present was undoubtedly Li Feipeng. This Mr. Lin was truly incredible.
His assets were only two or three hundred million, but if this contract was handled well, doubling his assets would be simple.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Lin Yang looked confident of victory.
"You two truly make it difficult for me, but honestly, you are the stronger one."
Zhou Hening looked at Lin Yang and said.
Lin Yang showed an arrogant expression. Next would be to approach Su Yaya and secure his "white moonlight."
Su Weiye sighed deeply. He had no choice. He had already spoken.
Especially with Zhou Hening present, he couldn't possibly go back on his word.
After his impressive display, Lin Yang did not forget to mock Xu Mu. "Young Master Xu, didn't you say you were the finale? Are you still going up?"
"Of course, I was just about to."
Xu Mu put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the piano.
As for the others around, they simply watched the joke unfold.
What could Xu Mu possibly play?
If Xu Mu could successfully play Two Tigers (Frère Jacques), Xu Shou would probably throw several banquets.
Su Ruiming, sitting next to Xu Mu, hastily pulled him back. "Young Master Xu, don't go up and embarrass yourself. You can't outshine them."
"Don't worry, didn't I say? I know a thing or two about piano."
Xu Mu sat in front of the piano, and countless pieces of music appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
That feeling was magical, as if he truly had been a Master-Level Pianist before, but had suffered amnesia.
However, Xu Mu decided to show off this time. He didn't plan to play someone else's piece but to improvise a new one.
Xu Mu's left hand fell onto the keys.
Teng teng teng...
A grating sound, without any rhythm, was just a random clatter.
Anyone with fingers could randomly press the keys.
Many children in the audience covered their ears.
As for the businessmen, they were all laughing, but they didn't dare to stop him. This was Xu Mu of the Xu family.
Mu Qingying curled her lip. "Embarrassing."
Zhou Hening also frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Mu's right hand began to move.
Although the left hand was playing noise, adding the right hand's melody surprisingly made them complement each other.
Zhou Hening's eyes widened, and he held his breath.
Teng teng teng...
The noise was still the same noise, but under the music of the right hand, it gradually became less grating.
Finally, it was completely integrated into the piece.
From chaos to order.
Xu Mu's music seemed to touch the soul.
It made everyone who was still laughing freeze in astonishment.
What was this?
This was music that touched the soul!
