Xi Ruzhu concealed the brilliance in her eyes.
This was her stage tonight, under no circumstances could she let her parents quarrel.
The distinguished guests were arriving one by one. This was the ostentation required to beco a violin superstar, the prelude to victory, and there could be no unpleasant incidents.
She held up the hem of her white silk princess dress and followed closely behind Xi Yuanshan.
At the entrance, a stern-faced middle-aged man signing his na with a flourish raised his head. An overwheld Xi Yuanshan hurried to greet him, "Mayor Zhou..."
Oh my, wasn’t he not supposed to be invited, or simply uninvitable, a figure of such stature?
He cast a puzzled glance at Gu Qiusha.
Gu Qiusha showed him no warmth, thinking to herself, of course you couldn’t invite him, it was my effort that brought him here.
She didn’t bother to explain the complexities and connections involved.
Mayor Zhou nodded and strode confidently to the VIP seats.
anwhile, as Xi Yuanshan was still in shock, a man in a shabby coat with a scruffy beard approached, "Is this the Xi family’s concert?"
Xi Yuanshan held his breath, "Yes." Who was this big shot now?
Gu Qiusha gracefully stepped forward to exchange pleasantries, "Director Xiao Gang, thank you for making the trip from the capital..."
Director Ma Xiaogang laughed, "My junior’s child is debuting, of course, I must support it. I brought my professional filming crew today to record the whole thing as if it were a movie, how about that?"
Gu Qiusha pressed her lips together, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Xi Yuanshan’s eyes were nearly popping out.
Ma Xiaogang, the leading figure among the fifth generation of directors in the Empire, a big na hard to invite even with billions, actually appeared at their daughter’s concert?
Since when did his holy wife know such a powerful man? And even call him Senior Brother?
Despite his astonishnt, he felt inexplicably a bit sour.
Xi Ruzhu stood obediently to the side, smilingly welcoming the guests while hiding her shock: Oh my god, Mom said she would handle the guests, but she managed to invite such unexpectedly high-profile figures!
Soon, Huangfu Yaxian also arrived.
As befitting his na, Dean Huangfu, though only fifty, was full of elegance, worthy of his status as a music titan, his very walk carrying a comfortable rhythm: "You must be Zhuzhu, Lang Yue told you’ve practiced the violin diligently for over ten years, achieving masterful tone? I look forward to it!"
Reporters around were frantically taking pictures of this scene.
The teachers and students in the concert hall also gasped with unexpected astonishnt:
"Wow, didn’t expect Zhuzhu to attract such prominent figures, but she’s usually so low-key!"
"It turns out English isn’t her strong suit; violin is her true mastery!"
"Look how favored she is in the Xi family, it’s like all the big nas are here to support her!"
Surrounded by dazzling figures, Xi Ruzhu’s face also shone brightly.
What a pity, at such a shining mont, that village bumpkin Zuzi hasn’t shown up yet?
But it’s okay, she was prepared, even if Zuzi arrived late it didn’t matter.
Tonight, that bumpkin was destined to be rubbed into the ground!
＝＝
The concert started on ti.
Xi Ruzhu opened with a challenging classic European violin piece, which earned thunderous applause.
Without pausing, she played three pieces in a row.
Seeing that even the musically untrained Mayor Zhou was listening intently, Director Xiao Gang was directing his team to find better close-up angles for her, and of course, there was Dean Huangfu nodding in satisfaction.
She knew, tonight was a success.
As her gaze swept over the audience, she finally spotted a simple white figure just sitting down, having arrived fashionably late.
Zuzi, had arrived!
That lazy and carefree deanor, that free and graceful gait, made Xi Ruzhu both envious and annoyed!
She imdiately put down the violin and smiled into the microphone, "Distinguished guests, taking this opportunity, let invite my family, my dear sister Zuzi, to perform for everyone! Please give a round of applause!"
Ha, ha, the country bumpkin probably doesn’t even know what a violin is.
Co on stage and make a fool of yourself!
