Today is Maestro William's concert, and Gu Yanxin took the day off to get ready early.
Yun Rujin pushed open the door and walked in, a smile on her lips: "Oh my, she's truly my daughter, so beautiful."
Gu Yanxin sat in front of the dressing table, wearing a pink strapless princess dress, her slightly curled hair falling over her shoulders. "I heard from Dad that he's going with us."
"Yes, we'll all cheer you on." Yun Rujin stood behind her, bent down, and put her hands on her shoulders.
"Aren't you going, sister?" Gu Yanxin raised her chin slightly, admiring herself in the mirror.
Yun Rujin frowned. "Why are you calling her? Does she even understand what you're saying?"
A glint of light flashed in Gu Yanxin's eyes, and she said regretfully, "Ah, alright then."
[Knock knock] A knocking sound came from the doorway.
Zhang Ma: "Madam, Miss, Master sent me to ask if you are all ready."
Gu Yanxin put the cap back on the lipstick and replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
......
The family of three dressed up carefully and went out in their finest attire.
The driver parked the car on the side of the road in front of the Grand Theater.
At this time, the audience had begun to enter the venue one after another, and most of the wealthy families in H City had come.
Lu Yuanshen walked over with Lu Wenyuan. "Isn't this Brother Gu?"
Gu Yunbai said with a smile, "Haha, President Lu, what a coincidence, let's go together."
William's identity is not just that of a piano master; he has close ties with the royal family of M continent, and it would be ideal to establish a connection with them.
"Shi Miao..." Gu Yanxin thought she saw Shi Miao's figure at the VIP entrance as she was about to enter.
Impossible! How could Shi Miao possibly have a ticket, especially through the VIP channel? She must be mistaken.
"Xinxin, what are you standing there daydreaming about?" Yun Rujin took her hand.
Gu Yanxin came to her senses and said softly, "It's okay, let's go in."
Even Gu Yunbai and his group could only use the regular passage.
Gu Yunbai's family was seated in the third row.
After sitting down, Gu Yanxin looked around, trying to confirm whether the person she had just seen was indeed Shi Miao.
The performance was about to begin, and the lights in the audience area had already been turned off. She pursed her lips and had no choice but to give up.
However, Shi Miao, whom she was desperately searching for, was sitting alone in the middle of the first row, wearing a mask and a hat, while the people in the back row were whispering and guessing who she was.
Suddenly the entire theater went dark, and a beam of light shone on the center of the stage.
The elderly man, around sixty years old, had his head of silver-white hair combed back. His deep eyes seemed to see through people's hearts. He sat down in front of a piano worth millions, wearing a custom-made black tuxedo.
The next second, a gentle, flowing melody, like a mountain stream, flowed slowly from between William's fingers. His fingers danced merrily across the black and white keys, tracing graceful arcs.
………
After the music ended, William slowly stood up, looked at Shi Miao in the first row, nodded imperceptibly, and then gracefully bowed to end the performance.
Everyone was still lost in thought and hadn't come to their senses.
Seeing this, Shi Miao smiled and took the lead in clapping.
Upon hearing the applause, everyone reacted and stood up to applaud, and the applause rose and fell, deafeningly loud.
After watching William's performance, Gu Yanxin was so excited that she wished she could go on stage right now and become William's student.
"Xinxin, you must seize this opportunity. Come on, let's go backstage to find Master William." Yun Rujin had already made arrangements beforehand, and staff would take them backstage.
Gu Yunbai and his family arrived at William's private lounge, led by staff.
"Master William, hello, I am Gu Yunbai, chairman of Qingshan Group." Gu Yunbai smiled, stepped forward, and bowed to hand over his business card.
William sat on the leather sofa with his eyes closed and legs crossed, resting. He said coldly, "What is it?"
Yun Rujin gave Gu Yanxin a wink, and Gu Yanxin, holding her phone, walked over gracefully. "Master William, hello. My name is Gu Yanxin. I have a piece of music I'd like you to listen to and see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
After William learned their true purpose, he pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, please leave. I have no intention of taking on any disciples."
Gu Yunbai coughed to cover his embarrassment and said awkwardly, "Well, Master William, would you like to hear it first?"
William frowned and refused, "No need, please leave."
Gu Yanxin's face stiffened. Not wanting to miss this rare opportunity, she was about to speak up and try to persuade him again when William's assistant walked in and began to shoo them away, "Excuse me, Master William needs to rest. Please leave quickly."
Yun Rujin was slightly displeased and wanted to say something, but Gu Yunbai stopped her with a look. "I'm really sorry, then we won't bother you any longer."
The three of them walked out of the lounge.
Yun Rujin walked to Gu Yunbai's side and whispered, "Yunbai, what should we do? This William is completely unreasonable."
"What's the rush? There's also the welcome banquet tonight. We'll arrange for Xinxin to go on stage and play then."
Gu Yanxin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She hugged Gu Yunbai's arm and said sweetly, "Daddy always has a way."
"Alright, get ready. Make sure William accepts you as his apprentice tonight." Gu Yunbai patted her head.
"Mm!" Gu Yanxin nodded obediently, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
No sooner had Gu Yanxin left than Shi Miao entered William's lounge.
"Miao, you're here!" William suddenly stood up and looked at Shi Miao who walked in with surprise.
"Yes, it's been a long time." Shi Miao walked over to the single sofa next to William and sat down.
William coughed, rubbed his hands nervously, and asked, "Well, have you thought it over? Do you want to be his apprentice?"
Shi Miao raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and said casually, "Ah... I really don't have time to play the piano."
William said unwillingly, "...Then I'll ask you again next time."
