Faced with Qiu Honglei's encouraging gaze, the men in the room exchanged bewildered glances.

You know, Qiu Honglei's piano skills have clearly reached their peak, so what can these laymen understand?

Even if a few people know how to play the piano, how can they compare to a professional like her?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing to rush out and rashly point out someone's mistakes at this time?

So everyone looked at each other, none of them daring to make a move. After all, they only had one chance, and if they failed to satisfy Qiu Honglei, they would lose the qualification to go further.

See what others have to say first; it's good to learn from their experiences and lessons.

Noticing their timid and hesitant manner, Chen Xuan scoffed. These pampered young masters from the city were so anxious and insecure, they didn't act like real men.

The more you care about and pamper a woman, the further she will drift away from you.

So he walked out in a swagger, patted his chest and said, “Miss Qiu, I don’t know much about music, so I won’t embarrass myself. But I can hear a story of a heartless man in your music. I can’t guarantee anything else, but if anyone ever dares to bully you in the future, I’ll take some men to chop him up and make his skull into a chamber pot.”

He was born with a robust and masculine air, which made him stand out from the effeminate young men around him.

"Then this humble woman must thank this brave man." Qiu Honglei looked at him with her captivating eyes, her lips slightly parted, her eyes seemingly about to overflow with tears.

Seeing that he had indeed won Qiu Honglei's favor, the young masters around him were filled with regret. "If I had known this would happen, I should have been the first one to come out."

Women always have a stronger impression of the man they had their first time with.

Having just been humiliated by Chen Xuan, Wang Yuanlong was eager to regain his composure and immediately said, "Miss Qiu, I may not have any other skills, but my family's caravans are all over the world, and I have some understanding of the situation in various places. If you need, I can have my men help you investigate, and I'm sure we'll find out where that person is soon."

He paused, glanced at Chen Xuan opposite him, and continued, "No matter how powerful an individual is, their energy is ultimately limited. How can they compare to the power of a family?"

He knew where his advantage lay. Although his martial arts skills were far inferior to Chen Xuan's, he was the only son of the Wang family. In terms of wealth, the other party wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Chen Xuan naturally knew what he meant, and sneered: "Just a good-for-nothing who relies on his family, even his answer is just parroting others."

This implies that the other person's answer is imitating one's own.

"What did you say!" Wang Yuanlong roared in anger.

"What, you still want to fight me? Come on!" Chen Xuan also stood up, grinning maliciously at him.

Wang Yuanlong's face immediately showed a hint of unease. He hadn't even won against the other side when they fought three against one, and he had been kicked half to death. How could he dare to clash with them?

But with such a beautiful woman before him, he was unwilling to back down so easily, and for a moment he froze in place.

Fortunately, Qiu Honglei came out to help him out of the predicament: "Please don't do this, gentlemen. If I were to cause any discord between you two because of Honglei, I would be deserving of death."

As they spoke, they appeared guilty and remorseful, on the verge of tears, which broke the hearts of those around them, who glared angrily at the two of them.

What could possibly have caused Qiu to be so heartbroken?

Not to mention Wang Yuanlong, even Chen Xuan, who was used to risking his life, panicked a bit and hurriedly apologized to her, promising that he would never cause any more trouble here.

Qiu Honglei finally smiled broadly. The moment she smiled was like the first melting of ice and snow, or like wildflowers blooming all over the mountains. The hearts of the many men in the hall seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, knowing that they would probably never forget her smile.

Pei Mianman on the second floor couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "She really is a stunning beauty who could bring ruin to a country. Even as a woman, I find it hard to resist her charm."

After a brief silence, the hall quickly became lively again, as if the encouragement from that smile had given them even more energy.

With Chen Xuan and Wang Yuanlong taking the lead, the others also spoke up and began to comment on Qiu Honglei's piece.

Everyone tried their best to win her favor.

Some showed off their literary talent, praising her music and her as unparalleled, occasionally interspersing a so-called "flaw," which left Zu An speechless, amazed that there were so many beautiful adjectives in the world.

Some flaunted their family backgrounds, letting Zaun know that there were so many second-generation officials and rich kids in Mingyue City, and at the same time, they gained a clearer understanding of some of the organizations in this world.

Some displayed strength and potential, including even fifth-rank academy students. However, with Chen Xuanzhu ahead of them, these people paled in comparison to sixth-rank students.

...

Zuan was eating melon seeds and watching the show when he suddenly remembered that he was still a teacher at the academy.

Hmm, I'll remember this student. He didn't even come over to greet me when he saw me. I'll fail him in the next math class.

Qiu Honglei responded with a smile, and everyone felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Zuan was full of admiration; this woman's social skills were simply off the charts.

But why has Chu Hongcai, this fervent fan, remained silent?

Just as they were wondering what was going on, they discovered that Chu Yucheng had squeezed to the front with Chu Hongcai, getting a close look at their goddess and even faintly smelling her sweet fragrance.

Chu Hongcai almost fainted from happiness.

Fortunately, he remembered his purpose and hurriedly said, "I wonder who the lover in Miss Qiu's song was? Who is so lucky to win Miss Qiu's favor?"
