Chapter 199 You Become the President
Mi Xia and Zhang Susu followed everyone to the concert hall on the 8th floor of the building.
As the world's top music association, the performance hall of the World Vocal Music Association is naturally also the world's top.
Not only are the materials used for decoration top-notch, but the design also took a full three years for a team of world-renowned architects to come up with, so that when sitting in the 1,000-square-meter concert hall, one can clearly hear the performance on the stage without any amplification equipment.
Listening to President Benjamin's introduction, Mi Xia and Zhang Susu were amazed at the architect's ingenuity, which they had never dared to imagine before.
"Two beautiful ladies, how do you like this concert hall?" Benjamin said proudly, "The decoration design is really amazing..."
"Don't brag. If you hadn't rejected the proposal several times, spent three years designing it, and finally put the first proposal into use, this concert hall would have been built a long time ago." Professor Edward slapped President Benjamin in the face without hesitation.
"Edward, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" President Benjamin said angrily.
"I'm just stating the facts. Look how anxious you are..." Professor Edward shrugged helplessly.
"Ms. Zhang, please sit here. This is the best position in the entire concert hall to listen to art." Benjamin pointed to a seat and said to Zhang Susu.
"Beautiful Miss Mi, please follow me." Benjamin took Mi Xia to the stage.
"What kind of piano does Miss Mi like to use? What about the strings?" Benjamin asked.
"It doesn't matter which instrument it is, and the strings are all fine, but I know that what the president takes out is definitely not ordinary stuff."
"Of course." President Benjamin said proudly, "Beautiful Miss Mi, please wait here while I go to choose a piano for you."
After a while, President Benjamin came back with a piano. Mi Xia took the piano and took a look at it, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If she was not mistaken, this was a Stradivarius violin, of which there were only a few dozen in the world, and it was produced by one of the three famous violin-making families in Italy in the 17th century.
"Oh, you stingy guy is plucking feathers today. I have been coveting this piano for a long time. How about trying the sound first?" Professor Edward said in surprise.
"Oh my God, how can there be someone as shameless as you. Miss Mi, stay away from this Edward."
"President, this zither is a little too expensive, isn't it?" Mi Xia took the zither carefully.
“A good horse deserves a good saddle. Although Edward, this old fox, is unreliable in other things, when it comes to music, I trust his vision. Take it.” President Benjamin said firmly.
"President, I have a question before you go on stage. Can you tell me?" Mi Xia turned around and looked at Professor Edward.
"Go ahead and say it. I swear to God that I will tell you everything that needs to be said." President Benjamin said solemnly.
"Why do you and Uncle Jack both call Professor Edward an old fox?" Mi Xia said in a low voice.
When President Benjamin heard this question, his face was filled with shock, and then he laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
Professor Edward at the back was anxious, and he was yelling frantically: "Don't say it... God, what kind of question is this?!"
"Can't I ask this?" Mi Xia looked confused.
"You can't ask." Professor Edward, President Benjamin and Old Jack said in unison.
"Okay then." Mi Xia shrugged helplessly, then walked to the center of the stage. After adjusting her posture, she heard a melodious and rhythmic melody flowing out from Mi Xia's fingertips.
Mi Xia played "Gypsy Song" this time. The whole song was free and unrestrained, full of passion and gypsy style.
Everyone listening to the music seemed to be transported to the prairie with the music, following the gypsies on a free-spirited trip.
After Mi Xia finished her song, everyone still hadn't come back to their senses, as if they were still immersed in the boundless grassland and their own sky.
After five minutes, the first person to come to his senses and applaud was Zhang Susu. As Zhang Susu's applause rang out, Professor Edward and Benjamin Club Elder Jack and others reacted. The three of them clapped their hands so excitedly that they turned red, but they still couldn't stop.
All three of them were professional masters. Unlike Zhang Susu who just thought it sounded good, all three were stunned by Mi Xia's superb skills.
"Dear Ben, do you agree that you should give up your position?" Professor Edward looked at President Benjamin proudly while applauding.
"I am convinced. This is simply the sound of nature. The violin must be made by God for her, right? It's so perfect. I love it so much." Benjamin said this involuntarily.
"What did you say?" Professor Edward and Old Jack asked at the same time.
President Benjamin finally reacted and said hurriedly, "I mean, this Miss Mi is simply too perfect. She has an angelic face and angelic skills. She is really loved by everyone."
Although President Benjamin particularly liked Mi Xia and believed that Mi Xia was his perfect spouse, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Mi Xia on the stage finished her performance, bowed to express her gratitude and then came to the crowd.
"How is it? Please give me your advice if there is anything I don't play well." Mi Xia looked at Benjamin seriously. After all, in her opinion, Benjamin, the president of the Vocal Music Association, must be a master, no, a grandmaster.
“I don’t deserve your advice. I can only describe it in one word: perfect!” President Benjamin said quickly, waving his hands.
"Yes, it's perfect!" Professor Edward and Old Jack echoed in unison.
"In my opinion, the position of president of the Vocal Music Association should be given to you." This time it was Professor Edward who spoke.
President Benjamin glared at Professor Edward deeply, but nodded as well. He was really convinced.
Music really depends on talent. Hard work can determine success, but talent is the upper limit of success.
Hearing this, Mi Xia waved her hands and said, "That's not possible. I came here with Professor Edward to see what's going on. Besides, I'm still a student."
Professor Edward pointed at President Benjamin and said, "What can the president do? Don't you see what this old guy does every day? Besides, if you really become the president, you can get any scholarship in the school."
Mi Xia continued to shake her head: "Is this not necessary? Thank you Professor Edward for your kindness."
Professor Edward spread his hands and said, "The association really doesn't have much to do on a regular basis. It's just a name. It won't interfere with your studies."
Professor Edward is determined to get Mi Xia into the association. Otherwise, it would be terrible if she was pulled away by other associations such as the Music Association or the Violin Association. At that time, he would be really in tears.
