The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

"Boss Cheng, you are finally back."

Ma Li was very anxious when she saw Xiaoyue.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yue was scared now. What are you two doing? One was more anxious than the other.

Ma Li handed Xiao Yue her cell phone and said, "You left without your cell phone, and it kept ringing until it ran out of battery. I just charged your phone, but it's not turned on yet. Please check it out. Someone must be looking for you, and they're very anxious."

"Oh, that's okay."

Xiao Yue took the phone and turned it on while thinking, could it be Liu Xinran calling her again? If it was urgent, it would have been resolved by now, so should she call back?

The result was that the phone rang as soon as I turned it on.

Xiaoyue took a look and saw that it was Cai Zekai, so she quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Cai, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Cai Zekai's anxious voice came from the phone: "Student Cheng, you finally answered the phone. Did something happen? I've been calling you for almost two hours."

"This... I'm sorry, Teacher Cai, I went out to do something and forgot to bring my cell phone. What's the matter? Why are you looking for me so urgently?" Xiao Yue was also a little embarrassed. She had just drunk someone's coffee and eaten someone's snacks last night. It didn't make sense that you didn't answer my call today.

Cai Zekai felt relieved when he heard this. He was afraid that Xiaoyue didn't answer the phone because something happened to her, so he said quickly, "I'm glad you're okay. This is what happened..."

Cai Zekai repeated what Lin Feng had told him last night, and finally said: "I will take you and Zhu Jun there. If you can help, then help. If you can't, then just make up the number."

When Xiaoyue heard that it was a big piano competition, she thought it would be great to have the chance to go and watch it. Besides, there were so many pianists there, it would not be a turn for a junior like her to perform.

"Okay, then Teacher Cai, we'll meet at the piano club tomorrow."

Cai Zekai didn't expect Xiaoyue to agree so readily, and he was immediately relieved. In fact, he had concealed something just now, that is, there will be a piano competition between China and the United Nations, as well as a competition among young people under the age of 30, and Xiaoyue might take part in it.

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. Instead, she became very interested in tomorrow's piano competition between China and the United Nations. She wanted to watch the fun.

Today, Xiaoyue consciously checked the hot searches and found that the content was all about tomorrow's piano competition. Moreover, netizens seemed to have little confidence in the piano competition in China, and were even very pessimistic. This made Xiaoyue vaguely worried. There shouldn't be anything for her tomorrow, right? Probably?

February 3rd is a very important day for the Chinese people. Xiaoyue got up early in the morning and took some time to think about her clothes. After all, this was a very formal occasion.

She wore a short suit jacket with a printed dress, black leather shoes with slightly thicker heels, her hair was neatly tied into a bun on top of her head, and she wore black-framed glasses to cover up her appearance.

Simple, solemn and comfortable, Xiaoyue went out very satisfied.

In the car, Xiaoyue received a call from Cai Zekai, asking her to wait for him near the gate of the Piano Association. He had an invitation letter, otherwise she would not be able to get in.

Xiaoyue asked Master Li to drop her off three hundred meters away from the Piano Association. Because of traffic control, the road was blocked, so it would be faster for her to get off and walk.

There were a lot of people on the sidewalk. Xiaoyue took fifteen minutes to walk the short three hundred meters.

"Student Cheng, this way."

Xiaoyue heard Cai Zekai's voice and looked in the direction of the voice. Cai Zekai was waving at her. There were many people standing behind him, including Li Chenan, whom she had met last night, and Zhu Jun.

Xiaoyue hurried over, and her arrival caused the men nearby to gasp.

"Here, your invitation. Keep it and don't lose it."

Xiaoyue took the invitation letter with a golden cover, opened it and saw that it contained her old photos, ID card information and other information.

I didn't expect that Teacher Cai was so capable that he could check my personal information clearly.

In fact, Xiaoyue really wronged Cai Zekai. The invitation letter was sent by Yuan Feng, and her personal information was already in the piano association's database. It was entered by Teacher Huang when he helped her apply for three piano pieces.

Anyway, later on, Xiaoyue was like a child, following Cai Zekai and others to verify the invitation letter, pass security checks, and finally enter a golden hall.

The hall has at least 1,500 seats and the interior decoration is very luxurious. The walls and ceiling are decorated in gold, and the top is a golden relief of flying dragons and phoenixes, which looks extremely solemn and imposing.

This hall was built decades ago at great expense by the Chinese government, demonstrating the importance the Chinese government places on the piano.

Therefore, it is very appropriate to hold the piano competition between China and the United Nations here.

As they walked and looked around, Xiao Yue sat down with Cai Zekai and the others, only then did she realize that there was something wrong with the location? There was also a photographer not far away who was taking pictures of this place.

Xiaoyue still knew basic common sense. After all, she had seen piano performances many times in her previous life. Now she was sitting in the third row on the side, which was the pianist's seat. This was obviously wrong.

Xiaoyue carefully thought about what Cai Zekai said yesterday: "If you can help, help. If you can't help, just make up the numbers." No wonder her right eye twitched from time to time today. It turned out that the problem lay here.

"Classmate Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Jun, who was sitting on Xiaoyue's left, saw that she didn't look very good and asked nervously.

Xiao Yue came back to her senses, forced a smile, and asked, "Student Zhu Jun, what did Teacher Cai tell you yesterday about today's piano competition?"

Zhu Jun was a little confused as to why Xiaoyue asked this question, but he still answered Xiaoyue's question honestly.

"We are the external aid of the Piano Association. If the people from the Piano Association lose later, we will go up to save the situation."

As expected, he was deceived by Cai Zekai.

"Teacher Cai, you lied to me."

Cai Zekai, who was sitting on Xiaoyue's right, smiled cunningly. He heard the conversation between the two people clearly. Now he was not afraid of being exposed since Xiaoyue was already sitting here.

Just then, a middle-aged man came over supporting a white-haired old man. They greeted everyone and sat in the first row.

Zhu Jun whispered to Xiao Yue, "That's Lin Feng, the owner of Chao Pai Coffee Shop. He is the one who invited the teacher and us."

Xiaoyue suddenly realized. No wonder she went to pay the bill quietly last night and was told that Mr. Cai was there for free. It turned out that the two of them had a very good relationship.

"That old man is Yuan Feng, the president of the Piano Association, and Lin Feng is his disciple."

Xiao Yue asked in confusion: "Hey, that's not right? Lin Feng is his disciple, so why is he an outsider?"

Zhu Jun sighed and said, "Because he didn't join the Piano Association. Ten years ago, he was originally a member of the Piano Association and was trained as the successor to President Yuan. Suddenly, the official sent someone to the Piano Association, the current Vice President Qin Yu. This Vice President Qin is very good at winning people's hearts and even snatched away Lin Feng's girlfriend who he had been dating for three years. We don't know what happened in between. Anyway, Lin Feng went abroad immediately and opened the cafe when he came back five years later."

What a melodramatic plot! Xiaoyue never expected that such a plot that only appears in novels would happen in real life.

Alas, no wonder Lin Feng is so active in helping President Yuan. Is he trying to make a comeback?

Xiaoyue really wanted to shout out that she liked watching this plot.

Soon, the two rows in front of Xiaoyue were filled with people, and they all seemed to be members of the piano association.

Members of the United Nations exchange group also arrived at the scene. They were arranged to sit on the opposite side, facing the Chinese side from afar.

Xiaoyue saw Claiborne, whom she had seen from afar last night. He was dressed very formally today, in a black suit and bow tie, looking very gentlemanly.

At this moment, the entire Chinese people were watching this live broadcast, and there was a live camera that was constantly filming the Chinese lineup.

Many students from the Beijing Conservatory of Music recognized Zhu Jun sitting at the pianist's home and posted comments excitedly.

"Oh my god, isn't that Senior Zhu Jun? The piano prince of our music college, so handsome."

"I knew that Zhu Jun's piano skills were good enough to participate in such a grand event that would bring glory to China."

"Ahhh, forget it. Senior Zhu Jun seems to be talking to the young lady next to him all the time. Who is that young lady?"

"Even though that young lady is wearing those tacky black glasses, it still can't hide her stunning beauty!"

"Really? She's really beautiful. Is she also a pianist? What a talented girl."

At this time, many people from Tianyu and Yuexiang were also watching the live broadcast. In such a scene, almost everyone was slacking off.

When the camera panned to Xiaoyue, Liu Xinran suddenly shouted, "Xiaoyue? Why is she attending this?"

There are many people like her, such as Xiaoyue from the third department, and Ma Li from Yuexiang.

Ma Li was dumbfounded. When Cheng left work yesterday, he just said that she was taking a day off and asked not to call her. She didn't understand at that time, but she understands now.

"My President Cheng, are you trying to surprise everyone secretly?"

Even Wu Hao, who took a few peeks at the live broadcast on the set, was almost frightened to the point of falling down by Xiaoyue.

"Boss Cheng, you are amazing. But why are you so proud..."

Liu Wenjie was about to board the plane. He was watching the live broadcast in the waiting room. When he saw Xiaoyue, he lost his grip on his phone and it fell to the ground, cracking the screen.

"I won't register. I want to watch the live broadcast and leave tomorrow."

His teammates were all dumbfounded. How could the itinerary, which had been arranged, change suddenly? They all asked why?

Liu Wenjie showed them the broken screen of his phone and said, "I want to see Xiaoyue. She went to the Golden Hall today."

His teammates looked at their phones and asked him, "Which one is Yue Shen?"

Liu Wenjie pointed at the girl with the ball-shaped hair: "Isn't this her?"

"Fuck, no wonder Goddess Yue never shows her face, she's so beautiful."

"Wenjie, you're in trouble. After today, you may have many more rivals in love..."

Liu Wenjie's face suddenly turned pale, as if to say, no, he couldn't run around for announcements all the time anymore, it was seriously affecting his life.
