Chapter 596: The Party Starts
It was especially lively at Z University that day.
That evening was the freshmen welcoming party.
Every welcoming party was a major event that attracted many teachers and students.
The party this year was the biggest one yet. Almost the entire university was there because Tang Hao was going to perform on stage.
Who was Tang Hao?
He was a legend of Z University. At a young age, he had already established a group of companies worth billions, and he also had a military background. His feats had repeatedly shocked the entire university.
No one in the university had a bigger reputation than him. Even the teachers were familiar with this name.
An ordinary performance would not have been as sensational. However, Tang Hao said that he did not know how to play the piano at all. He had only agreed to it after being provoked by Li Wenzhe.
What could he learn in a month? He probably could not even play the simplest song well.
Tang Hao was finally going to make a fool of himself. Many of the boys were looking forward to that.
As for the girls, they weren’t interested in how he played at all. They just wanted to look at him.
Many people had been talking about it since a few days ago.
More people talked about it that morning.
“I haven’t seen him for a long time. Did he go into hiding?”
“Speaking of which, what is he playing? Does anyone know?”
Everyone was talking about it during classes and lunchtime.
“Hahaha!”
In those few days, Fang Qiming felt like he was walking among the clouds.
He could not wait to see Tang Hao make a fool of himself!
Every time he thought about it, he wanted to throw his head back and laugh at the sky to express his joy.
He felt that tonight would be the best day of his life.
The lively atmosphere continued until the evening.
A stage had been set up In the central plaza of Z University. People from the various departments of the Student Council were busy adjusting the equipment and coordinating the staff.
Two men and two women stood at the edge of the stage, making preparations. They were the emcees of the night.
The men were dressed in black suits and were tall and handsome, while the women were dressed in gorgeous long dresses that accentuated their graceful figures.
One of them was Su Yuchen, the Beauty Queen of the Art Faculty.
Rows of benches were arranged on the plaza. The rows in front also had tables; those were for the teachers and school administration.
From five o’clock onward, people arrived one after another, filling in the seats.
All the seats were filled by six o’clock. More people continued to flood in, and they stood in small groups around the plaza.
The sky was getting darker, and the stage was lit up.
The plaza was filled with noise.
Everyone was whispering and discussing enthusiastically.
Soon, the teachers and administrators arrived and took their seats in front.
Eventually, the plaza was entirely filled with people. The crowd was unprecedentedly large.
Suddenly, the stage lights dimmed. When it lit up again, the four emcees walked out and began to give a speech, announcing the start of the party.
After the speech, it was time to introduce the administrators of the university. The scene was very lively.
The first program was an orchestral performance. The grand ensemble of classical musical instruments interweaved into a cheerful and passionate piece of music, stirring up the atmosphere.
Following that were skits, solo performances, and all kinds of dance programs.
Every time a beautiful woman or a handsome man appeared, the audience would shriek.
All the adonises and beauty queens from the different faculties gained the audience’s cheers and applause.
Snap! Snap! The clicking of camera shutters could be always heard.
An hour flew by, and the party had reached its halfway point.
“I’m sure everyone has been waiting for the next performance for a long time. That’s right, the next person to come on stage is the Prince of Piano, Li Wenzhe!”
The audience instantly erupted when the emcee announced the name.
After Li Wenzhe, it would be Tang Hao. The performance of those two people would be the spotlight of the night.
The administrators whispered among themselves.
“Li Wenzhe shows some promise. He is a rising star! He could have gone to a conservatory, but he enrolled in Z University.”
“Yes! He has won many awards. He has a bright future as a professional pianist!”
“Tonight, Li Wenzhe will bring us a famous piece by Chopin, ‘Nocturne in F-sharp major’. Now, let’s welcome him with warm applause!”
On the stage, the emcee announced loudly.
A round of warm applause rang out.
The stage lights dimmed. A moment later, a spotlight shone on the center of the stage, illuminating a black piano and the person sitting in front of it.
The person was dressed in a black suit and sitting upright. He was elegant and handsome, and his body exuded an artistic aura, causing many girls below to shriek.
“Li Wenzhe, I love you!”
A few girls around the plaza shouted excitedly.
Li Wenzhe stood up and bowed to the audience. He sat down again and inhaled gently.
He seemed relaxed, and even a little smug.
When he thought about how Tang Hao was scheduled to go on stage after him, he could not help but sneer.
‘What an idiot!
‘What could he learn in a month? Moreover, he was scheduled behind me. After I stun the audience with my impeccable performance, they’ll be laughing and booing at his clumsiness!
‘That guy will be making a fool of himself!’
After laughing up his sleeve, he calmed his mind and placed his fingers on the piano keys.
He started playing, and the notes flowed like a stream.
His fingers danced on the piano keys.
The music was melodious and tranquil, like a lake under the moonlight.
The people below the stage seemed obsessed.
“It’s so good!”
“Wow! As expected of the Prince of Piano!” Many people exclaimed.
The tempo started to speed up and the music became more intense. It was a heart-wrenching performance.
Eventually, the music gradually returned to calmness, like a countryside brook.
Even after the music was over, the people were yearning for more.
On the stage, Li Wenzhe stood up and bowed to the surroundings.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Below the stage, overwhelming applause erupted.
“It’s so good!” Many people cheered. The atmosphere was wild.
The administrators also applauded hard with smiles on their faces.
“Well played! Well played!”
“As expected of an award winner! It’s different!”
They laughed.
After a minute or two, the atmosphere slowly calmed down. Li Wenzhe bowed again and left the stage.
The plaza was quiet for a while, then it became lively again. Everyone was excited.
“Haha! Tang Hao is going on stage!”
The boys were gloating.
“Ah! My Prince Charming is appearing! No matter how he plays, I still love him!”
The girls were all excited. They stretched their necks and looked toward the stage.
