My wife is in my arms

Chapter 438 Charity Gala Part 7

"..."

Zhang You, who was holding Xiao Zishan on his lap, was taken aback.

Even then, he still had something to say. Upon hearing the tycoon's promise of ten million for a single piano piece, the audience applauded to express their respect, and the host seemed to be taken aback by the tycoon's generosity.

"Mr. Xu, really!?"

The host hurriedly asked.

"Of course"

The short, rather portly-looking Xu Fuhao smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Zhang You is willing..."

"Then let me ask Mr. Zhang."

talking.

The host immediately walked over to Zhang You. Before she arrived, Xiao Zishan obediently climbed off his lap and was about to sit on her mother's lap when Jiang Yiren pushed her away. She then shifted her body slightly to make room before pulling Xiao Zishan to sit beside her. Under Jiang Yiren's gaze, the host smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you heard what Mr. Xu said. What are your thoughts?"

He took the microphone from the host.

Zhang You stood up from his seat.

Since the other party was being so kind, Zhang You naturally couldn't refuse. He smiled and shook hands with Mr. Xu, then took the microphone and asked the girl sitting in the seat, "Your name is Luo Luo!"

Under so many gazes, the girl's cheeks flushed slightly, seemingly a little shy, but she still nodded slightly. Zhang You then asked, "How old are you this year?"

"eighteen"

The girl replied softly.

"Girls this age need to be careful. Don't let yourself be fooled by boys outside. After all, many boys these days are bad."

After a brief joke, Zhang You continued, "Let me ask a rather personal question: how much is your dad worth? If possible, tonight we could work together to get your dad to contribute more to charity. What do you think?"

Xu Fuhao let out a hearty laugh and said, "Mr. Zhang, please feel free to play."

The girl named Xu Luoluo looked at her father, then at Zhang You, and after a while, nodded. Zhang You smiled and said, "Don't fall in love. You need to focus on your studies at this age."

While he was talking to Xu Fuhao, the organizers of tonight's charity gala had already put the piano that Zhang You had used not long ago back on the stage and walked onto the stage.

"This song, a coming-of-age tribute, is dedicated to Xu Luoluo, an eighteen-year-old girl. Thank you for your appreciation, and thank you also to Mr. Xu for his generosity."

Done.

Zhang You first extended his right hand and slowly began to strike the piano keys. At first, he did not show a high level of piano skill, but when he placed his other hand on the piano keys as well...

A light and elegant melody filled the entire living room.

As the fingers danced, all the notes seemed to come alive, brimming with youthful energy and joy. When the rhythm slowed down, the music gained a clarity and brightness, as if a young girl was dancing under a silent starry sky.

Below the stage, a girl named Xu Luoluo looked at the stage with joy. She had long since turned eighteen, but this "coming-of-age ceremony" that she had brought to the charity gala to accompany her father was an unexpected surprise.

A satisfied smile appeared on Mr. Xu's lips.

Money doesn't matter, but it's really a great honor that the artist my daughter likes would personally play a song for her after the performance of "Coming of Age Ceremony" ended.

Zhang You then performed "Night, Fireflies and You," "Longing Across Time," and the piano accompaniment for "She Came to My Concert." However, during "Windy Hill," the charity gala seemed to shift in nature, becoming almost a solo performance by Zhang You. Yet, no one seemed to find it odd.

After all, someone is paying him to play, and that money won't all end up in Zhang You's pocket; it will all go towards helping children with leukemia. So there's no reason for him to feel jealous or anything like that.

The moment I heard this piece of music.

Han Hui's nerves seemed to be touched; her eyes widened instantly, and her expression was one of disbelief.

"You even taught him this one!?"

Han Hui thought to herself.

The memory of this piece of music has always been sealed in Han Hui's mind.

Later, because Jonathan Lee did not perform in public, the memory of that time gradually faded with time. She only remembered that on that afternoon, Jonathan Lee played a piano piece that reminded her of many years ago.

But I can no longer remember what kind of music it was.

however.

When the song appeared again, Han Hui immediately realized that it was the same song that Li Zongsheng had played at the music store that afternoon.

Jiang Yiren gently bit her lower lip. This was the first time she had heard this piece of music. The melody was soothing and beautiful, and it seemed to have the magic to pull people back to a memory of the past.

But... looking down at her daughter, Jiang Yiren saw that her daughter was staring unblinkingly at the stage, and instantly, an inexplicable anger rose in her heart.

This brat is really... Jiang Yiren didn't know what to say. Her father was so skilled in piano, yet all she wanted to do was practice "Driving Test Part 3" and sing "la la la".

It's like being born into a treasure trove without even realizing it. Xu Qingya, who was originally very resistant because her manager wanted her to recognize Zhang You as her older brother, no longer resisted. The piece that guy played on stage was not dramatic, but it was beautiful and melodious, and it created a light and airy feeling.

The key to the wonder of the entire piece is its overall simplicity, yet it is precisely this simplicity that allows one to feel the turbulent waves of life contained within it.

Xu Qingya had a feeling... that after tonight, her older brother would become famous.

Unlike most singers who rise to fame, he became famous for his piano music, which means that after tonight, this guy will be an undisputed piano master.

Putting aside his personal character issues, it must be said that listening to him play the piano is an ultimate enjoyment; it feels like your soul has been cleansed.

This song has ended.

Amidst applause, Zhang You stood up and returned to his seat.

Five pieces in total, that's fifty million, at most... Zhang You doesn't care, but he doesn't know how much this rich man Xu is worth. What if he can't afford to play any more?

At that time, he would offend people, and five songs would be about right. Since he can earn ten million for a song, fifty million should be no problem.

If there's a problem... then you don't have the ability to pretend otherwise.

"Thank you again, Mr. Zhang You, and also Ms. Xu Luoluo and Mr. Xu."

The host walked onto the stage with a smile.

Tonight's charity gala was probably the most successful in recent years, receiving donations of over 100 million and also gaining recognition from the artists and celebrities present.

I doubt we'll even need to buy any trending topics; everything that happens tonight will be on the front page of major media outlets tomorrow morning.
