Dare to Give it a Try?!_1 The announcer finished calling the act and made a welcoming gesture toward the band from UE Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated beside the piano, Master Yegor nodded, placed his hands on the keyboard, and took a slight breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire audience held their breath and focused on the band.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the first note sounded, the whole room fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adelina by the Water,” a melody as flowing as water—calm and sprightly, like a holy spring, cleansed the weary souls of the listeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the master’s interpretation, it had a kind of breathtaking beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piece ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without anyone leading, the audience burst into applause together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yegor stood up, bowed to the guests, and then sat down again to continue his performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One beautiful piece after another, some light and bright, some expansive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The applause came frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the future, when I look for a husband, I also want someone who can play the piano, at least someone with a level eight certification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels so romantic!” said a female guest, full of longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might just find it pleasant to listen to, but he perceived so much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Lotus had imprinted the background of each piece deep into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each piece was a story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It belonged to the soul of the creator; every note was a scream of the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After each piece, Zhao Qianze would quietly ask Bai Xiaosheng for advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few words from Bai Xiaosheng would have her nodding frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qinghong, witnessing Bai Xiaosheng’s expression and their interaction, couldn’t help but feel contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was being pretentious, putting on an act in front of Zhao Qianze as if he knew a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you really understand?” Zheng Qinghong simply didn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo and Song Yanran shared this view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing Bai Xiaosheng, their thoughts mirrored Zheng Qinghong’s, believing that Bai Xiaosheng was just fooling Zhao Qianze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A general manager from humble beginnings, he couldn’t have received much of a higher education.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So young to have become a general manager, all his focus must have been on work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where would he have the time or money to study music, especially the piano?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, I’ll expose him for what he is!” Chen Changluo thought with a sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiutian and Chen Jiuzheng were engrossed in the music, not glancing Bai Xiaosheng’s way at all, as if they hadn’t noticed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this was something they had discussed with Mu Beichen beforehand—to treat Bai Xiaosheng as an ordinary guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither to slight him nor to pay him extra attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted Bai Xiaosheng to get through the banquet smoothly, without feeling any hostility from the Chen family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the piece, the room erupted in applause once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yegor suddenly stood up, took the microphone from the host, and said something in Russian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host’s smile stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While English was manageable, Russian was considered a minor language in the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the host was worrying, someone behind him said, “I’ll translate for Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yegor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host was immediately relieved, turned around to see Chen Changluo, and knowing his identity, promptly stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo, holding a microphone that was prepared in advance, translated verbatim whatever Master Yegor said for everyone to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yegor says that he is very happy and honored to perform for so many distinguished and successful individuals today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon Chen Changluo’s translation, the audience clapped in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chinese value etiquette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yegor’s words highly pleased the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yegor also says that he has heard about Zhenbei Group, a world-renowned financial consortium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He says that those of you present holding important positions in the group must be talented in many ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wonders if anyone would like to come up and play a short segment, to share the joy with everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo translated with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yegor also grinned broadly, making a welcoming gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of playing the piano, among the more than two hundred guests present, there were quite a few who could play, and not just a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guests represented various levels of society, all of them well-known figures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people come from wealthy families, where music is a compulsory subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most haven’t taken grading exams, they can still play a piece to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, playing a piece in front of a master feels like showing off one’s minor skills before an expert—it’s somewhat presumptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the restraint of Chinese modesty, everyone was quite humble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there no one willing to take the lead?” Chen Changluo looked around at the guests and smiled, “Then I will embarrass myself to break the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don’t play well, please forgive me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this statement, the crowd immediately cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect Chen Changluo to show off his skills,” Bai Xiaosheng said, a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qianze heard this and pursed her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s just a show-off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s so great about that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You also know how to make perfume, but do you go around bragging about it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s merely looking for an opportunity to show off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhao Qianze’s disdain, Bai Xiaosheng just smiled and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Xiaosheng, I saw you were quite engrossed just now, you seem to know a lot about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about you give it a try later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t tell me you know how to listen but can’t play!” Zheng Qinghong suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people at the table looked at Bai Xiaosheng with playful gazes, with a hint of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and again, it had been Bai Xiaosheng who had scored high, and everyone was eager to see him mess up for once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Zheng Qinghong, smiled without saying a word, and also stopped Zhao Qianze from trying to speak up for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t do it?” Zheng Qinghong snorted with a smirk, “Soon, I plan to play a piece!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dedicated to Qianze!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need!” Zhao Qianze responded with a cold, stern face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qinghong was not offended but gave a magnanimous smile instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo sat down at the piano, imitating the master’s demeanour, took a slight breath, and placed his hands on the keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piano piece began to play, it was quite good, very pleasant to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is he playing?” Zhao Qianze couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was simply curious and asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“E major sonata, third movement, Haydn.” Bai Xiaosheng responded offhand, “It’s a Grade 6 piano piece.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two’s unconscious question and answer left Zhao Qianze suddenly startled, and she looked at Bai Xiaosheng with surprise, “You know this too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng just smiled, without answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How well is he playing it?” Zhao Qianze asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quite skillfully,” Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just skillfully?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Off to the side, Zheng Qinghong’s nose nearly went crooked with annoyance, “He’s playing extremely well, on par with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the piece ended, everyone clapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I humbly present this,” Chen Changluo stood up and said with a chuckle to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he spoke modestly with his mouth, Chen Changluo puffed his chest up proudly in response to Master Yegor’s symbolic applause, his face beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Master Yegor whispered something to him and even glanced in Bai Xiaosheng’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo nodded, picked up the microphone, and smiled towards Bai Xiaosheng, saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yegor has heard that the main characters of today’s banquet are the elite of the elites within our group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would like to see just how outstanding the most outstanding individual is, to see if they can also play a piece.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words left the crowd stunned, then many started to make a commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, let us witness it for ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within the group’s elites, there ought to be hidden dragons and crouching tigers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo smiled, pointing at Bai Xiaosheng, “Our current top scorer, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng—won’t you come up and give it a try?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes were on Bai Xiaosheng in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qianze’s expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is Chen Changluo trying to do?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piece of information about Bai Xiaosheng’s achievements had been heard by Song Yanran from Zhao Qianze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, I saw him listening attentively and even explaining to the lady beside him, so he seems to understand quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to see whether this Bai Xiaosheng truly knows his stuff or is just feigning profundity,” Chen Changluo’s tone changed, subtly unfriendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about it, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng, dare you give it a try?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo wanted to publicly tear off Bai Xiaosheng’s disguise, exposing his ignorance and hypocrisy to everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>",1453,"2026-06-05T17:42:43.221Z",1,"novelbin.me","55e19a8491d3a27355cc090daf3e98481523a969196b4382c3f941aff142015f","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-705","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-703",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
