I made plans to conquer the heroine in advance, and the protagonist was dumbfounded!

This is in stark contrast to how she interacted with Li Hao.

"Yes, Ms. Cai, I'll do it right away."

The staff nodded, but, somewhat overwhelmed by Cai Qianwen's aura, turned and left. Soon, the staff returned.

He held a notebook with a gold-rimmed edge and presented it with both hands, his attitude even more respectful than before. "Ms. Cai, the boss said that as the sponsor of the party, you have the right to view the list."

Cai Qianwen handed him a bank card, took the notebook, took a deep breath and opened it.

On the pages of the notebook, the information of each contestant and their personal profile were carefully recorded in neat handwriting.

Cai Qianwen browsed through them one by one.

Soon, her eyes fixed on the second-to-last name.

This name ranks right above Li Hao.

What caught Cai Qianwen's attention was, firstly, the special name, and secondly, the resume behind it was so eye-catching!

Shen Mengting: An employee of Li Group’s Huadu branch.

Li Group, Huadu branch?

Cai Qianwen knew clearly that the Li Group not only held a pivotal position in Kyoto, but was also a super capital giant in Huadu, almost reaching the level of industry monopoly!

Moreover, after looking through all the lists, only this person has a direct connection with Li Hao and the Li Group!

Shen Mengting?

Cai Qianwen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, thinking that it might be her.

It turns out to be a girl...

The name does sound pleasant, but one is curious, is she as beautiful as she is?

Cai Qianwen already knew who the "old friend" Li Hao was referring to, and her goal had been achieved. When she was waiting backstage, she must see Shen Mengting with her own eyes and find out what charm she had that could make Li Hao attend the dinner in person!

After returning the notebook, Cai Qianwen realized that her cell phone might have been left in Li Hao's room, so she gently raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A deep and steady male voice sounded inside the house.

The door opens.

Cai Qianwen smiled and pushed the door open.

It just so happens!

A door at the end of the VIP corridor was also pushed open, and a woman in a black dress, who was almost unreal in beauty, walked out slowly.

Her facial features are so delicate that they seem unreal, which makes people marvel at the wonders of nature.

The elegance and bookish air she exudes is a precious quality that is extremely rare in this impetuous society. Just standing there, she is like a perfect work of art. Her glass-like eyes are clear and otherworldly, like a stream of pure water that reaches people's hearts.

She is an isolated epiphyllum that blooms alone.

There was a barely perceptible smile in the woman's eyes, but when her gaze moved forward, it instantly became stunned and then disappeared.

Because she saw an equally beautiful woman in a white dress walking out of a room she was very familiar with and then walking slowly into the corridor.

Who is she?

Why did you come out of Li Hao's room?

Shen Mengting stood there, watching the woman's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

She was not jealous.

Everything was already expected by Meng Ning.

Li Hao's excellence always attracts a large number of women to approach him wherever he goes. Shen Mengting has deeply experienced this when she was in Huadu.

But that's not the point.

Shen Mengting came to Kyoto quietly this time to pursue her inner desire.

Shen Mengting didn't tell anyone about this. It was her personal decision.

She didn't want to trouble anyone or disturb anyone. Even when she stayed in the VIP suite, she didn't use her identity, but only used the international competition certificate of the violin in her hand.

She came here not for the ruby, nor for the dispute between the Su and Yang families. She came here only for one goal, one idea.

She missed Li Hao.

Once she thought about it, she decided to meet him. At first, she didn't consider whether Li Hao would come.

Shen Mengting just wanted to finish her performance seriously, and sing the song "Why Not" that she had practiced countless times for him - Why not give up the whole world for you?

Now, Li Hao was right in front of him, and a woman had just walked out of his room.

Li Hao...

If there was a piano in the scene, would you sing to me?

Do you still remember me?

Shen Mengting smiled lightly, and the tenderness in her eyes was even more touching.

"Miss Shen, please follow me."

At this moment, the staff saw Shen Mengting coming out and quickly greeted her warmly, "I will take you to room 420 backstage. You are the fourth contestant to appear."

Shen Mengting did not respond and walked straight forward.

When passing by Li Hao's room, Shen Mengting paused slightly, but ultimately did not choose to meet him at this moment.

The two of them just passed each other like this.

VIP room.

Li Hao was still sitting on the sofa, sipping red wine.

Just now, he had checked his performance number and it was the last one of the entire performance, so Li Hao was not in a hurry.

Li Hao was very satisfied with the order of appearance.

He would know in advance which original heroine came to Kyoto to participate in the competition.

At this time.

The stage lights began to change, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked onto the stage. He bowed slightly to the audience, then said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, all friends who love piano, welcome to the gala. Join me in witnessing the pinnacle of art, the perfect palace of art."

Wow!

There was thunderous applause.

This middle-aged man was the organizer of the party. His appearance meant that the party was about to begin, and everyone became excited.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled and thanked them again, then continued, "Today, we are honored to have invited four special guests and ten guests from home and abroad. Among them are piano enthusiasts, piano experts from home and abroad, and even well-known capital entrepreneurs.

"But none of this matters. We gather here with our love and admiration for the piano. At this moment, we are all mortals, mortals with awe in our hearts."

The middle-aged man directly pointed out the theme of the evening.

Here, status doesn’t matter, everyone enjoys music together.

"Then, let us welcome our first opening guest, who is also one of the four special guests, to bring us a visual and auditory feast of art!"

"Miss Cai, come on stage!"

As the middle-aged man finished speaking.

The whole place was shocked.

Miss Cai?

Cai Qianwen?!

She actually participated in the competition?

At this moment, let’s not talk about how excited the men on the scene were. The long-awaited goddess finally appeared, and even the women began to look forward to it.

You know, the daughter of the Cai family rarely appears in public and is extremely low-key.

Today, are we finally lucky enough to witness its splendor? !

At this moment.

Backstage at the party.

Shen Mengting sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the music score in her hands, her beautiful eyes full of concentration and contemplation.

Shen Mengting was in an independent lounge.

Although many distinguished guests were invited to the party tonight, only four of them could truly be called special guests.

Each VIP is equipped with an exclusive private box.
