Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Yang Bai picked up his violin and played "Ambush from Ten Sides" on the spot.

The opening was sudden, the middle was intense, and the ending was desolate.

The performance was incredibly lifelike.

Yang Bai put away his bow.

Su Wanqiu clapped her hands and said, "Yang Bai, you played very well. This zither is also very good."

She had played all sorts of violins, but none of them had the beautiful tone of the one in Yang Bai's hands.

No wonder they said they got a bargain.

Yang Bai handed the violin to Su Wanqiu and said.

"Late Autumn, don't you play the violin? Play a piece for me."

Yang Bai handed the violin to Su Wanqiu and said, "Wanqiu, don't you know how to play the violin? Play a piece for me."

Su Wanqiu came from a good family and had previously practiced violin.

When she first married into this family, she brought her own zither, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of the original owner and was smashed on the spot.

The original owner even publicly belittled her, saying that she had married into a rural family and was still fussing over these fancy things, wondering if she was trying to seduce other men.

From then on, Su Wanqiu never touched a musical instrument again.

Her hand picked up the bow.

"Yang Bai, you won't be like you used to be, will you?"

Yang Bai shook his head, his tone gentle, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, conveying a hint of apology.

"No, I was wrong to you before, but I will not stop you from using your talents in the future."

Su Wanqiu looked at Yang Bai and smiled faintly. Yes, since that incident, Yang Bai is no longer the same Yang Bai.

How could hatred and fear still arise in her heart?

All she wanted was this belated apology.

She took the violin from Yang Bai and rested it on her shoulder.

"Why don't you bring your accordion and play a song together?"

"it is good."

Yang Bai was also looking forward to his first duet with Wan Qiu, so he opened his instrument case, took out his accordion, and placed it on his lap.

Which piece should you play?

Su Wanqiu suggested, "Katyusha."

This is a classic piece; anyone who has learned an instrument and has improved their skills can play it and shouldn't have trouble coordinating with it.

Yang Bai nodded.

"Alright, then Katyusha. Late Autumn, you start."

Su Wanqiu gently closed her eyes and slowly raised the bow. She hadn't touched an instrument in a long time, so she was a little rusty at first, but she quickly regained her composure.

The melodious tune drifted through the courtyard, carrying the tender longing of a young girl.

She slowly opened her eyes, her tender gaze fixed on Yang Bai.

Yang Bai smiled slightly and began to play the accordion.

The bellows laid out a low-pitched harmony, like a hazy moonlight spilling onto a calm lake.

Many passersby outside the courtyard stopped in their tracks upon hearing the music and were drawn inside.

They were surprised to see Yang Bai and Su Wanqiu playing together, and whispered to each other, afraid of ruining the atmosphere.

"My goodness, Yang Bai can play the accordion too!"

"It sounds so nice, it feels like I'm at the Cultural Palace listening to music."

"Yang Bai is really amazing, he can do everything."

"I feel like I'm completely hooked."

......

The two finished their duet.

The villagers who had gathered in the courtyard applauded.

Yang Bai stood up and bowed.

The villagers quickly waved their hands.

"Yang Bai, why are you bowing to us?"

"Yes, we should thank you for hearing such a beautiful piece of music!"

"Yang Bai, my daughter is getting married tomorrow, could you please play for me?"

"Dream on! The Yang family has plenty to eat and drink. They'll come to your house to play music for your daughter."

......

Yang Bai put down his accordion and shook his head: "No, that was just a courtesy after the performance. Thank you all for your support."

A middle-aged man asked, "Are you still going to play? If you are, I'll go home and bring over some stools."

The villagers gathered in the courtyard nodded in agreement, all wanting to stay and listen to a song.

Yang Bai was worried. With so many people crowding into the courtyard, it would not only make a mess, but also risk damaging things, which would be a greater loss than gain.

"We're just testing out the sound quality. We're having a formal performance at the company auditorium the day after tomorrow, so you can all come and listen then."

The villagers, filled with regret, could only disperse one after another.

After seeing the villagers off, Yang Bai and Su Wanqiu exchanged a smile.

......

Inside the aquatic products company's office building.

Zhou Guowei strode into the manager's office, holding a neatly arranged program list for the autumn harvest celebration. He respectfully handed it to him, saying, "Manager Hou, the programs for this performance are basically all ready. Please take a look and make your decision."

Hou Sanli took the program and casually flipped through it. When his gaze fell on one of the names, he paused, a clear look of surprise appearing in his eyes. He pointed his finger at the name on the paper: "This Yang Bai, is it a duplicate name?"

Zhou Guowei quickly shook his head: "Manager Hou, it's not a coincidence of names, it's Yang Bai from our fishing team. The program he signed up for was an accordion solo of 'Flight of the Bumblebee'."

Hou Sanli was stunned on the spot, his face full of disbelief.

He never expected that Yang Bai could play musical instruments!

And the very first piece he played was a high-difficulty piece like Flight of the Bumblebee.

Hou Sanli had watched countless cultural performances and knew exactly how high the bar was for this piece. With its extremely fast tempo and complex fingering, it was recognized in the industry as a tough nut to crack. Without years of solid training, it was impossible to play it completely; forcing a performance would only result in a flustered and flawed performance.

He looked up at Zhou Guowei, his tone hesitant: "Are you sure you've verified it? Yang Bai really can play the accordion?"

"It's been confirmed." Zhou Guowei nodded solemnly. "Yang Bai's technique is skillful, and his playing is very smooth. Our performance this time is missing an accordion solo, and his piece fills that gap perfectly."

Hou Sanli gently circled "Yang Bai" with his fingertips, a strong sense of anticipation rising in his heart. After a moment's thought, he immediately made the decision.

"Move Yang Bai's performance to the finale."

Zhou Guowei was startled and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Manager Hou, are we really going to have him as the finale? Although Yang Bai can play the accordion, Flight of the Bumblebee is just too difficult. If he makes a mistake as the finale, it will affect the entire performance!"

In cultural performances, the opening act sets the mood and the closing act sets the tone; these are the two most important roles in the entire event.

The finale position is the focus of everyone's attention, with an extremely low margin for error. It is an ultimate test of the performer's mentality and skills, and the pressure is far greater than that of ordinary programs. Historically, only those with the most solid foundation can be competent in this role.

Hou Sanli smiled calmly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"I'm going to have him as the finale. To be honest, I'm really curious to see if he'll make a fool of himself."

This autumn harvest celebration was held to commemorate Yang Bai's outstanding achievements in production capacity, and the entire event was attended by company employees with no outsiders present.

Even if there is a slight mistake, it won't be a big deal.

"Okay, I'll go and adjust the program order and make the arrangements right away."

Zhou Guowei acknowledged the order and turned to go out to make preparations.

Hou Sanli made himself a cup of tea and sat down in a chair, humming a tune.

"Yang Bai, don't blame me if you get nervous."
