Feng Qing did not speak and only looked at him. She heard Xian Cheng say, “You played this song just now. It’s the most classic classical piano song. Although I only heard a portion of it, I can tell that you’re very skilled. Moreover, your talent in playing the piano is outstanding. I wonder how long you’ve been playing the piano?”
Although she was a little unhappy with Xian Cheng’s reaction just now, Feng Qing didn’t want to lose her etiquette when faced with his question. Hence, she smiled and replied, “Hmm… less than two years.”
Upon hearing this, Xian Cheng revealed a look of disbelief again. From Feng Qing’s words, he could tell that Feng Qing should have been using her free time to learn how to play the piano. Ordinary people would at most reach the entry-level after learning for two years, but Feng Qing had already reached this level. If she trained diligently, wouldn’t there be another top-notch piano master in the world in less than three years? This talent was too terrifying!
Seeing Xian Cheng’s expression again, Feng Qing couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Xian, do you know me?”
“You-you really only studied piano for two years?” Xian Cheng did not answer her. Instead, he asked seriously.
Feng Qing chuckled. “Why? Mr. Xian doesn’t believe me? Then do as you wish. However, Mr. Xian hasn’t answered my question. This should be the first time we’ve met. How do you know me?”
Xian Cheng nodded at her. Looking at Feng Qing’s clean and clear eyes and the sweet smile on her face, Xian Cheng was a little distracted. Unknowingly, the Fourth Young Master’s face appeared in his mind again. It wasn’t that he wanted to link Fourth Young Master and Feng Qing, but Fourth Young Master’s influence on him was too great. He didn’t feel anything when he looked at the photo previously, but when he spoke to Feng Qing now, it always gave him the feeling that he was talking to the Fourth Young Master. It even made him unable to speak properly.
To put it bluntly, until now, Xian Cheng’s entire mind was still in a blank state. His thinking and reaction were much worse. Hearing Feng Qing ask him this question again, Xian Cheng still did not react. He said, “Miss Feng Qing, I have to admit that your talent in the piano is too high. I never expected that Xia country would have a piano genius like you. I’m also anxious to take you in as my disciple. I wonder if you’re willing to go to the Seven Stars Continent with me?”
As soon as these words were out, the entire banquet hall was in an uproar. All the guests looked at Feng Qing, who was standing in front of the piano, in shock. Many people revealed envious, jealous, and hateful expressions. Those who could be invited to the banquet were all famous people in the Capital. With these people’s status, they had naturally heard of Xian Cheng’s name. They even respected him, a man who stood at the top of the world’s piano world!
Two years ago, Xian Cheng had also come to the Capital once. That time, he had come here to hold a piano concert. The huge Capital’s gymnasium was filled with people. Tens of thousands of people were gathered together, and it was a sea of people. It was extremely lively. At that time, the wealthy families in the Capital who could sit in the front row to listen to the concert were all proud of this. Until now, they still occasionally took it out to boast. It had to be known that the front row of the Xian Cheng concert was not something that could be bought with money. It also needed enough social status. It was not something ordinary wealthy families could compare to.
All the wealthy families present were invited by Feng Qing today. They rarely participated in any activities and were considered the core of the Capital’s upper-class society. The reason why these wealthy families were favored by Feng Qing was entirely because they had close business dealings or other cooperative relationships with the Xie Corporation. Of course, all the guests in the banquet hall knew that Feng Qing was Madam Xie.
When they heard Xian Cheng mention the Seven Stars Continent just now, the guests naturally knew what kind of place it was. They even knew that there were seven families in the Seven Stars Continent. These families were quite powerful and had very deep foundations. They had followed the Seven Stars Continent to expand their territory to today. It could be said that these seven families controlled the entire Seven Stars Continent in all aspects, so such seven families naturally did not take the wealthy families in the Capital seriously.
Now that they heard Xian Cheng personally say that he wanted to take Feng Qing in as his disciple and even bring her to the Seven Stars Continent to develop, all the guests were incomparably shocked. Feng Qing had successfully obtained Xian Cheng’s recognition with a piano piece. It was really too unexpected. In the hearts of the guests, this was equivalent to an excellent opportunity falling from the sky and landing in front of Feng Qing. Her luck was simply too good!
