Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Chapter 915 We'll Debut as Singers

Tang Rou's words instantly calmed everyone at Happy, except for Sister Ling, who seemed a little curious. After all, her understanding of Tang Rou was limited to that of a young girl who, out of a competitive spirit, had entered the gaming world somewhat haphazardly. She knew little else about Tang Rou, but she certainly knew this President Lü.

After all, this guy had been pursuing Qiao Jingjing before, and as Qiao Jingjing's manager, she naturally needed to find out about his situation.

Although Mr. Lü is somewhat arrogant, he has achieved some success in business, so a little arrogance is normal. As for the piano, it's a skill she's had since childhood; while it can't compare to a professional's, it's still quite good. But Tang Rou displayed an absolute confidence that she could overpower him.

This time, Sister Ling began to seriously observe this flawless beauty. From the very beginning, she possessed an air of elegance, and her voice was also very pleasant to hear. Sister Ling realized that Tang Rou's qualities were actually quite suitable for the entertainment industry. She had no experience as an actress, so she didn't know much about it, but she was knowledgeable about music. If she had a talent for singing, wouldn't many of the songs Xiao Nai had written for them finally have a purpose?

Instead of collaborating with others, where is the higher return for launching a wildly popular singer with your own studio?

Moreover, Tang Rou, Qiao Jingjing, and Xiao Nai are all around the same age. By the time Xiao Nai retires and enters the entertainment industry, Tang Rou will be about the same age...

Once the thought arose, it was impossible to stop thinking about it. So much so that the more Sister Ling looked at Tang Rou, the more she saw her as a potential catch who could rival Xiao Nai.

Sister Ling decided that once things were over, she would talk to Tang Rou about this matter to see if she was interested. After all, she figured Tang Rou hadn't thought about what she would do after retiring, and she could just seduce her all then.

"Hehehe..." Thinking of the three top artists under her management in the future, Sister Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just as Sister Ling was outlining her future plans, General Manager Lü finished his performance. A round of applause erupted in the audience. General Manager Lü expressed his satisfaction with the outcome.

He believed that everyone was discerning and would not be fooled by the other party's little tricks.

"Now that it's over, I'll take over," Tang Rou said, walking towards the piano.

"Hmm?" Mr. Lü was somewhat surprised to see that there were quite a few people who had arrived. The man from before was still a little surprised and did not leave for a moment.

"What? Am I not good enough?" Tang Rou asked, seeing that the other person hadn't left.

"You're a professional gamer too?" Mr. Lü was somewhat surprised, but since the other party was a beautiful woman, Mr. Lü's tone was less aggressive.

“My situation might be even worse, since I’m still just a player striving to become a professional gamer,” Tang Rou said.

Confident in his previous performance and knowing that the other person was indeed good-looking, Mr. Lü maintained his composure and didn't say anything more. He left his seat at the piano, walked to the side, and gestured for him to leave.

Tang Rou nodded to the surroundings, as if to greet everyone again. Then she sat down at the piano.

The next moment, as Tang Rou's graceful hands danced across the piano keys, a series of light and agile sounds rang out. Although Tang Rou played very fast, she didn't give the impression of being overly eager or simply pursuing speed, unlike Ye Xiu before. Tang Rou's speed was continuous and well-structured. Under Tang Rou's control, all the notes were very stable, and even just listening to her play revealed the performer's profound skill.

"Hmm? Why does the piece that Xiao Tang is playing sound so familiar?" Qiao Jingjing asked Chen Guo beside her with some curiosity.

“Me too.” Chen Guo felt the same way. “This is another song I know,” Ye Xiu said.

Only then did everyone realize that this was the third movement of Beethoven's "Pathétique" Sonata.

"I didn't expect that I had heard this piece before," Chen Guo said with some surprise. She had originally thought that she would definitely not have been exposed to Beethoven's basic music.

“That’s normal. After all, we’re not music majors. We’ve all heard many of these songs, but we just haven’t paid attention to their names,” Xiao Nai said.

"If that's the case, could the piece Ye Xiu played also be a famous piece of music?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

“Hmm, if someone else played it, you’d probably find it familiar too,” Xiao Nai said.

"How does Xiao Tang's playing compare to that guy's? Is it better?" Compared to the music, Chen Guo was more concerned about her best friend.

"I think we don't need to worry anymore. You can tell by the expressions on the faces of the people around us." This time, it was Sister Ling who answered. She now saw more and more potential in Tang Rou.

If Ye Xiu's earlier performance was simply awe at how fast he could play a piece, then Lu Zong's subsequent performance was simply admirable, given that his serenade was indeed quite good. But Tang Rou's performance paled in comparison, as it far exceeded their expectations, even surpassing, or perhaps exceeding, the performance of the pianist they had invited to read the piece.

This is quite telling. You know, the bands invited to such events must have incredibly skilled pianists. But this beautiful woman's skills might even surpass theirs, which is terrifying.

In contrast, Mr. Lü's previously relaxed expression became quite interesting again. He was even more shocked, but this time he didn't feel the same embarrassment as Ye Xiu. While Ye Xiu's playing was fast, it was considered a joke and completely unworthy of serious attention by those of them who had received systematic training. Tang Rou's performance, however, was entirely different. Faced with Tang Rou's playing, he felt only a profound sense of powerlessness.

You know, when it comes to music, if you can clearly hear the difference between two performers, then the gap between them is enormous.

It's not that Mr. Lü thinks too highly of himself, but for someone to make him feel so powerless, the other party must have reached a very high level of professionalism.

As Tang Rou finished playing her last note, a thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Tang Rou gave a brief nod to the crowd and walked towards the Happy team. Before she even reached them, Sister Ling was already beside her, excitedly asking, "Little Tang, what do you want to do after you retire?"

"I haven't thought about it yet," Tang Rou said, though she was a little curious as to why Sister Ling would ask her this question.

"So, are you interested in joining our entertainment industry? You're about the same age as Xiao Nai and Jingjing, and you'll probably retire around the same time. They're coming into the entertainment industry anyway, so why don't you come along too? You know, Xiao Nai has a lot of songs, and I'll just give them to you to sing. We can debut as singers right away..." Sister Ling got more and more excited as she spoke, but just then, a voice interrupted her.

"With such skill on the piano, it's a shame you choose to become a professional player," said Lu Shao. (End of Chapter)
