Chapter 409: Chapter 201: If You Make Me Go on Stage Again, I’ll Beat You Up

When Yang Chen took a closer look, heck, that guy on the big screen who looked way too handsome was him!

Tang Xia instantly stood up excitedly and said, "Brother Yang, you got picked!"

Yang Chen was a bit confused, then quickly raised the Chairman Zhou poster he bought in the morning to cover his face.

Chairman Zhou looked back at the big screen, only seeing his own poster and couldn’t tell who the selected person was.

However, the staff already set the program; no matter how the spotlight turned, as long as they pressed the pause button, the spotlight would definitely stop at Song Siming’s seat.

Therefore, Chairman Zhou didn’t think there’d be any surprises and said, "Wow, not bad. This fan is very serious, even brought my poster. Come on, let’s perform ’Blue and White Porcelain’ for everyone together."

Yang Chen turned and showed off Chairman Zhou’s poster to the fans behind him.

Beside him, Song Siming wasn’t feeling great and quickly said, "It’s a mistake! It should be me!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Tang Xia laughed heartily and said, "There are many people here, be careful with your words."

Song Siming quickly shut his mouth; if everyone knew Chairman Zhou gave him a backdoor, it would definitely bring unnecessary negative impact to Chairman Zhou, and then his company would have to pay Chairman Zhou a lot.

Helpless, Song Siming could only watch Yang Chen take the stage under everyone’s gaze.

As Yang Chen got closer, the smile on Chairman Zhou’s face froze noticeably.

This isn’t right, did Song Siming get a makeover?

But, this isn’t something that can be openly discussed, Chairman Zhou had to go along with it.

Chairman Zhou: "Wow, so handsome! I would have to avoid your sharpness when I was young."

"Haha..." The whole place laughed.

Chairman Zhou: "Alright, because time is limited, we won’t talk too much. Next, we’ll play and sing ’Blue and White Porcelain’ together, can you do it?"

Yang Chen: "I can."

Chairman Zhou thought it was such a coincidence that even a mistake picked someone who could play the piano.

Chairman Zhou continued, "Okay! Let’s do it."

Yang Chen nodded and sat in front of one of the two parallel pianos with Chairman Zhou.

Yang Chen laughed when he saw the sheet music, it was marked with "Zhou" and "Song," indicating that this sheet music was specially prepared for Chairman Zhou and Song Siming, guiding them to play and sing their parts without messing up.

It really seemed like the heavens were at work, their cheating method was to lock onto Song Siming’s seat, not him personally.

Song Siming was slapping his thighs in frustration.

He didn’t know why, seeing Song Siming so annoyed, Tang Xia felt quite happy.

"Ah... fate! Some things are destined, what isn’t yours, no matter how you struggle won’t be yours. What is yours, even if you do nothing, will still be yours." Tang Xia said, implying more than he stated.

Song Siming snorted coldly and said, "He’s just an online ride-hailing driver, can’t possibly play the piano. He went up just to chase stars, if he dares to play, he’ll definitely make a fool of himself."

Tang Xia chuckled and said, "Are you stupid? Being an online ride-hailing driver is just his way of experiencing life, he can afford the Tang Pavilion, you think he can’t afford to learn piano?"

Song Siming was dumbfounded, that made sense too.

Wasn’t it ruined then?

All the effort he put into creating this opportunity ended up giving Yang Chen the chance to show off?

Song Siming clutched his heart, feeling overwhelmed.

Yesterday at Tang Pavilion trying to show off, ended up boosting Yang Chen’s Tang Pavilion’s performance.

Today trying to show off at Chairman Zhou’s concert, ended up creating an opportunity for Yang Chen to shine.

Was this really destiny?

Could Yang Chen be his nemesis?

Now, on stage.

Chairman Zhou: "Brother, are you ready?"

Yang Chen: "I’m ready!"

Chairman Zhou: "OK! Let’s start now!"

After that, Yang Chen started playing the introduction to "Blue and White Porcelain."

The fans on site immediately applauded to encourage him.

As someone preparing for the 10th level piano exam, Tang Xia was instantly captivated by Yang Chen’s piano playing.

"This guy is amazing, it feels even better than when I play," Tang Xia thought to herself.

Song Siming sat sadly, head down, gripping his hair tightly; the better Yang Chen played, the more painful he felt.

The introduction part ended, and Chairman Zhou started playing and singing the first verse.

After all, it’s Chairman Zhou’s concert, the fans gave face and as soon as he started singing, the whole place applauded and cheered.

"The plain embryo outlines the blue flowers, the brush changes from thick to thin, the peony portrayed on the bottle, just like your first makeup."

"Slowly, the sandalwood wafts through the window, I understand your thoughts, the brush stops halfway on the rice paper."

After this verse, Chairman Zhou immediately paused.

Yang Chen seamlessly connected the next verse.

"Glaze colors rendering maiden’s figure, charm is hidden, and your smile, like an unopened flower bud."

"Your beauty drifts away, to places I can’t go."

The climax part required Yang Chen and Chairman Zhou to play and sing together, hence really testing both of their skills and coordination.

There’s a saying that crashing outfits aren’t scary, whoever looks bad is embarrassed.

The same principle applies to playing piano, singing, and dancing.

Playing the same tune, singing the same song, dancing the same dance, whoever lacks skill will be embarrassed.

Although Chairman Zhou can play the piano and this "Blue and White Porcelain" is his masterpiece.

But under Yang Chen’s master-level performance, even the simple melody of "Blue and White Porcelain" became extraordinary, making Chairman Zhou seem a bit amateur, and for a moment, the fans couldn’t even tell whose song it was.

"Sky blue waits for rain, while I wait for you. Moonlight salvaged, blurs the outcome. Like the immortal blue and white porcelain, beautiful on its own, your eyes smile."
