Chapter 221 Mysterious Guest
"Mr. Jin Qiu's famous battle? Are you serious?!"
Just as everyone was shocked and confused, the lights on the stage dimmed, and the clear sound of piano echoed in the empty exchange venue, as if an invisible magical power was spreading in the air.
The first note is like a dewdrop jumping in the morning light, clear and lively, falling into everyone's heart and creating ripples. As the fingertips dance on the keys, the melody is like a gurgling stream, sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent. The notes in the high pitch are like elves jumping in the mountains, lively and cheerful; the notes in the low pitch are like the deep pulse of the earth, steady and powerful.
Everyone listened attentively, as if they were brought into a fantasy world. The piano music was like a slowly unfolding painting, depicting ancient castles, dense forests, and rushing rivers. Each note was a fragment of a story, and the audience seemed to have become the protagonists of these stories, experiencing different lives under Ye Xi's guidance.
Some people seem to see themselves walking hand in hand with their loved ones in a quiet town, with the breeze brushing their cheeks and bringing bursts of flower fragrance; some people seem to be in a fierce battlefield, with iron horses and thundering drums, fighting bravely for their country; and some people seem to be lost in a mysterious forest, but suddenly see a ray of sunlight penetrating the gaps in the leaves, guiding the way forward.
Just as Winnie and everyone else were immersed in the song, the continuous vibration of his cell phone woke him up. He answered the call with annoyance, but when he heard the words on the other end, his body trembled and he stood up suddenly: "Are you serious?"
After receiving a positive response from the other party, he didn't care about what music he was listening to and immediately took a shortcut to leave the venue. Seeing how anxious he was, the assistant hurried over to ask, but heard him say, "There is an important guest coming today, I have to go and greet him personally, I'll leave this to you, don't make any mistakes."
"Yes." The assistant quickly agreed, but couldn't help wondering, haven't all the distinguished guests from Yuncheng arrived today? Who else is coming? And is it worth Vennie to leave this city to welcome the distinguished guests?
The assistant couldn't figure it out, so he sat back down.
When the song ended, the lingering sound lingered in the air, like a wisp of smoke, lingering for a long time. The audience was silent, and everyone had not yet woken up from that fantastic dream. When someone finally came to their senses, they couldn't help but applaud, and then the applause became more and more frequent, and finally broke out into thunderous cheers. The artists also stood up and applauded vigorously, paying the highest respect to this talented performer.
Even though Mr. Jin Qiu's song was a great success, this one is not inferior at all.
Ye Liuxi was clapping the loudest among the audience. He just wanted Ye Xi not to be too bad, but he didn't expect it to be so good!
Ye Xi stood up and bowed gracefully. The lights behind her lit up, illuminating her figure.
After she stood up, a new face appeared at the entrance of the venue in the distance, looking at her intently.
The distance was quite far, so she couldn't see the face clearly, but she could vaguely feel that he was very young and had a well-proportioned body.
Ye Xi didn't think much about it and just thought it was a late guest and ignored it.
After the bow, heated discussions broke out from the audience again.
"Oh my god, Miss Ye can actually compose music? And she's so good at it?"
"Yes, she is already at this level at her age. She may be the next Golden Autumn!"
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, although this song is good, it has not been proven whether she composed it herself. Didn't the representative of Rouyin Entertainment just play a song composed by Mr. Jin Qiu? The Ye family has so many arrangements, there is no guarantee that there will be no amazing works that Miss Ye secretly bought and signed her name on."
"But this piece of music requires a lot of playing skills, and it's so long. If you didn't compose it yourself, it would be hard to play it so smoothly, right?"
"You also said that it's just difficult, not impossible. Besides, Miss Ye just doesn't have shares in Ye's, but she's not really a loser. If she works hard, she might be able to learn it. After all, she has perseverance. I don't need to say more, right?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Yixuan at the same time. At the beginning, Ye Xi's pursuit of the young master of the Jiang family caused a lot of controversy. The young master obviously didn't like her and almost never treated her well, but she pursued him relentlessly for a year. How could this not be considered perseverance?
Jiang Yixuan raised his eyebrows and took a sip of red wine without reacting.
On the stage, Ye Xi snorted coldly. She was really fed up with this situation where once the topic involved her, Jiang Yixuan would be involved within three sentences.
"It seems that everyone still has doubts about my ability. It doesn't matter. It's normal to have doubts. After all, I have caused a lot of misunderstandings before, and it's hard to explain in just a few words. But I believe that strength is the most direct way to prove it." Ye Xi, who was about to step down, sat down in front of the piano again.
"In that case, please listen to me play one more song."
The discussions in the audience did not stop.
"It seems that Miss Ye bought more than one song. She also has alternatives."
Ye Xi glanced at the person who was speaking. She had seen this face several times. He always appeared in different positions to lead the conversation, and every time he spoke, he was belittling her and praising the Jiang family and Lin Rouer.
She turned her head and looked at Ye Liuxi again. Ye Liuxi understood what she meant, nodded to her and left his seat.
Not long after, he came back and mouthed something to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi said into the microphone: "Then I hope that my alternative song will satisfy everyone. If there are any shortcomings, please correct me, Mr. Yang."
Below the stage, Yang Ming, who had been sitting and watching the show, tensed up, and the people around him couldn't help but look at him.
It seemed that as Ye Xi finished speaking, everyone noticed that most of the words questioning the Ye family from beginning to end seemed to have come from this person's mouth.
Seeing that he was being noticed by everyone, Yang Ming became flustered unconsciously. He always liked to hide in the crowd. Because of his low sense of presence, he often helped Jiang Yixuan to stir up trouble and guide public opinion. Being touched by Ye Xi today was like a rat in the gutter suddenly exposed to the sun, and he was instantly at a loss.
"No, it's not me." He waved his hands quickly and subconsciously wanted to go to Jiang Yixuan for help, but found that the other party had switched positions with Lin Rouer at some point.
This is to distance oneself from him.
That's right, now that his identity has been revealed, his previous advantages are gone, and Jiang Yixuan naturally doesn't need him anymore.
Yang Ming lowered his head.
Without the fish muddying the water, Ye Xi could finally play the song with peace of mind.
The beautiful piano music came from the stage again, and this time everyone was more immersed in it.
Behind the seats, Winnie personally handed the poured red wine to the young man.
"I really didn't know you were coming today. I've already arranged for more seats."
He raised his glass apologetically.
"I'll toast to you, Mr. Fu."
