Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Chapter 914 We still have Little Tang!

Seeing that President Lü was speechless, Ye Xiu smiled again and continued, "Looks like you can't play it anymore. What a pity."

"I didn't promise you anything," Mr. Lü said, but he was now in a completely awkward position in front of everyone. If he went up, he would be even more embarrassed. After all, he no longer cared about his image and just wanted to get away with it for now.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you didn't agree, we can't play it anyway," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Your playing technique is meaningless, so why should I play it?" Mr. Lü continued to argue.

"So you still can't play it? Then I can only conclude that you're even more ignorant and incompetent than those of us who know nothing." Ye Xiu began to attack his morale.

Just kidding, they all saw this guy trying to poach their vice-captain's player. Of course, Ye Xiu would pamper his vice-captain, so he naturally had to teach the other guy a lesson.

Seeing the other party's embarrassed and angry expression, Ye Xiu asked Xiao Nai beside him with satisfaction, "How was your playing?"

"Even someone who doesn't know anything about piano can see that your hand posture is awful. You're used to using the mouse with your right hand, aren't you?" Xiao Nai said softly. After all, Lao Ye was the captain, and in this public setting, he naturally had to give Lao Ye some face.

"As expected of my vice-captain, you have good eyesight." Ye Xiu replied quietly, not trying to hide his feelings.

The two men were whispering to each other, and Qiao Jingjing, the female lead, inexplicably felt like she was being cuckolded.

She shook her head, dispelling the inexplicable feeling in her head. She pulled Xiao Nai back from Ye Xiu's side, but Xiao Nai didn't stay by her side. Instead, Liu Weiguo pulled him to the leader's side for a casual chat, which could be considered as getting to know each other.

Seeing Xiao Nai being pulled away again, Qiao Jingjing stopped worrying and asked, "Ye Xiu, do you know anything else?"

"I do know another one," Ye Xiu said.

"Is it just to practice your hand speed again?" Chen Guo said.

“That’s right,” Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Which one is it?" Tang Rou asked, she was quite curious about this.

"The third movement of the Pathétique Symphony," Ye Xiu said.

Tang Rou: "..."

Seeing Tang Rou fall silent for a moment, Chen Guo and the others were immediately drawn to her, and everyone was curious.

"Xiao Tang, what is the third movement of this Pathétique?" Chen Guo asked.

“Beethoven’s Pathétique Sonata has three movements, and the third movement is fast-paced,” Tang Rou said.

Everyone: "..." How should I put it? As expected of Ye Xiu, his purpose is practically written all over their faces.

At the same time, no one could possibly associate such a great name as Beethoven with the glorious newcomer Ye Buxiu.

While everyone was chatting animatedly, Xiao Nai said goodbye to his superiors. Since he wasn't involved in the company's affairs, it was just a brief introduction and exchanging contact information before he returned to his group. He completely ignored the clown-like Mr. Lü. This disregard was another blow to Mr. Lü; in the eyes of those around him, he was now even more like a clown, which he couldn't tolerate. He was also a second-generation rich kid who, with his family's help, had achieved some success. His life had been remarkably smooth until now; apart from Qiao Jingjing, he hadn't encountered any major setbacks.

He originally intended to overwhelm Qiao Jingjing with his superior abilities, making her look foolish. This would both suppress her and allow Qiao Jingjing to see his outstanding side. But now, this is the result.

"It's not over yet." Just as the curious onlookers were about to leave, Mr. Lü suddenly said.

"This isn't music at all! This time, I'll go first. I'll show you what real music is!" Young Master Lü shouted.

"Real music? What is that?" Baozi asked, puzzled. After all, in his opinion, there was no difference between different kinds of music.

"Hmph, you'll find out soon enough." This time, President Lü didn't give Xiao Nai and the others a chance. He walked to the piano first, determined to change everyone's previous impression of him through his talent. He wanted to show others what music truly is. At the same time, he was afraid that saying too much might introduce unforeseen complications; he didn't want to continue being watched like a clown by those around him.

Furthermore, he was very confident in himself because he knew perfectly well that the other person's performance was purely about speed, nothing more. The other person simply knew that no one could keep up with his pace, so he resorted to a clever trick. But music isn't about conquering the audience with speed. Once he started playing, everyone present would know who played better. Who was the real clown?

After taking his seat, Mr. Lü began to play, as if he were worried that someone would come out and stop him.

As Mr. Lü began playing, the hall fell silent once more. Those who had initially thought it was a farce were gradually drawn into the melody after he began playing. This time, even Chen Guo and the others, who lacked any discerning eye, had to admit that his playing was indeed beautiful. In terms of piano skill, he was definitely superior to Ye Xiu.

"Xiao Tang, how was his playing? Does Ye Xiu have a chance of winning?" Qiao Jingjing asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"No, this guy plays really well," Tang Rou said.

"It's a bit hasty for Ye Xiu to compare piano skills with him. This guy has been learning piano since he was a child, so he naturally has some skill now." At this moment, Sister Ling also came over and explained to Qiao Jingjing.

"So how are we going to handle this?" Chen Guo asked with some concern.

"It's alright, we can just ignore them," Ye Xiu said.

"Disgusting!" Chen Guo and Qiao Jingjing exclaimed in unison. But despite their complaints, they had no other options. Ye Xiu's previous performance had left too many openings, and after being repeatedly crushed and mocked by them, how could he possibly end things so easily now that he had the chance? If he continued to taunt them, they would simply ignore it, which would be a rather humiliating solution.

Especially for Qiao Jingjing, the real situation has already gotten a bit out of hand. If we use Ye Xiu's methods, who knows what kind of comments might come out tomorrow that are detrimental to Jingjing.

Although Qiao Jingjing didn't show it, Xiao Nai could see her worry and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay, we still have Xiao Tang."

"Xiao Tang?" Qiao Jingjing looked puzzled.

“Look at how knowledgeable Xiao Tang was about music earlier, she must be an expert in this field,” Xiao Nai said, knowing the plot well enough to be completely confident.

"Really?" Qiao Jingjing looked at Tang Rou with shining eyes.

"Hmm... if I were to compare myself to Ye Xiu, I'd dare call myself a master." Tang Rou smiled slightly, but that simple smile revealed boundless confidence! (End of Chapter)
