Frank agreed and said, "I've already sent people to the town to see if they can find any clues, but there shouldn't be any problems. I know Miss Chen, and I've met her once before, so I believe she'll be fine."

Xu Fan nodded, but he lacked confidence.

Adults can certainly take responsibility for themselves, but sometimes reality doesn't care whether you're an adult or not.

Good or bad, it will always come when it's meant to be.

Frank provided this information, but he naturally didn't send it to Old Zheng. Before things were confirmed, it was best to keep it to himself.

The two returned to the scene. Xu Fan sat between Greta and Alice as before, while Frank smiled and left.

Greta, standing beside him, asked, "Mr. Xu, do you know anything about the musicians who came tonight?"

Xu Fan was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I don't recognize most of them."

Greta said, "Let me introduce you. The main ones tonight are all upstairs. For example, Mr. Skotto, besides being a movie star, is also one of the most famous guitar masters in the country. You should know that. And you are probably familiar with Mr. Terence's guitar as well."

Xu Fan nodded, and Greta said, "The woman in red sitting to Mr. Skotto's right is the most outstanding cello master in the Romantic Kingdom. She and Mr. Skotto are known as the two great cello masters of the West."

Xu Fan looked surprised; it turned out that titles weren't unique to China.

Greta continued, "Look at Mr. Terence's right, the gentleman wearing a hat and more layers, he's a saxophone master from the United States. And the gentleman with yellow skin is also a piano master from China, Hutu."

Xu Fan nodded. He knew Hu Tu, and they had some conflicting feelings towards each other.

Greta continued, "And that one is from Italy."

A certain country, a certain island.

In a beautiful seaside villa, a girl lies on the bed, her legs swinging.

A piano melody played continuously in the room, and if you listened carefully, you could easily hear it, confirming that it was Xu Fan's "Für Elise".

The girl's eyes were glued to her phone, and she kept opening and swiping away from the short videos on it.

The person featured in every short video is Xu Fan.

The girl's complexion wasn't very good; she looked somewhat pale. However, it was clear that she had used a thick layer of foundation to make her face appear slightly red, but it was still obvious that she wasn't in good health.

Just then, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something.

She sat up straight, as if she was considering something.

Then she jumped out of bed to wash her face, sat in front of the computer for a while, seemingly hesitating or making a decision.

This took a very short time, but not a very long time either.

Finally, she took out her phone and made a call.

"Dad, I want to go back to China."

===Chapter 339 Terence's Invitation===

The Global Musicians Invitational features musicians from all over the world.

Xu Fan, a relatively new Chinese singer, was able to come here at the special invitation of Frank and Terence.

With Greta's explanation, Xu Fan finally understood just how massive the invitation he had attended tonight truly was.

One of the organizers of this invitational event was also the Pullman Group, which piqued Xu's curiosity about the Pullman family. Regardless, the attendees were all very prominent figures.

As the crowd grew larger, Xu Fan, sitting between two beautiful women, had no other thoughts. After learning about many famous musicians, he didn't dwell on it too much and simply chatted casually with the two women beside him.

But to Xu Fan's surprise, before the invitation meeting began, Frank came over with a middle-aged man.

Upon reaching Xu Fan, Frank introduced him, "Hello, Mr. Xu, this is my father, Pullman Norris."

Seeing Norris extend his hand, Xu Fan shook it back and said, "Hello, Mr. Norris."

Pullman Norris looked at Xu Fan and said, "Mr. Xu, you are truly a dragon among men at such a young age. It is an honor for Frank to know you, but the two songs you wrote are indeed very helpful, so I came here specifically to thank you."

Xu Fan hadn't expected Frank's father to come all this way, and said with a smile, "Mr. Norris, you're too kind."

Norris nodded and said, "I hope you enjoy the invitation tonight."

Xu Fan thanked him, Norris turned and left, and Frank glanced at Xu Fan and said, "My father said he hopes to collaborate with you on more music creations in the future."

Xu Fan nodded, and Frank left as well.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively, and just then, the global musicians invitation event finally began.

A unique concert suddenly began, and gorgeous music accompanied by various instruments suddenly appeared in Xu Fan's ears.

Xu Fan subconsciously looked over and saw countless people in the middle of the stage, playing their favorite instruments under the guidance of the conductor.

Although Xu Fan had never heard this piece before, he had to admit that it was indeed very beautiful and perfectly suited for the opening ceremony of a global concert.

Using musical instruments to play music, and using music to open the event, is the most appropriate thing to do.

The scene was extremely quiet, and Xu Fan sat there quietly listening.

Alice and Greta beside her both wore expressions of fascination; most of the people who came here had a unique love for music.

It could be a particular musical instrument or a song; they might be particularly fond of a certain instrument and play it exceptionally well, or they might be singers who stand at the pinnacle of their respective countries.

But everyone was quiet at that moment.

After a magnificent full-instrument performance, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Xu Fan also began to applaud from the bottom of his heart. Alice, who was next to him, suddenly said, "Mr. Xu, the one who just performed was the Grand Fontaine Musical Theatre, which is world-famous."

Xu Fan was shocked; so that's how it is.

He had heard of the Fontaine Musical Theatre before; the orchestra had more than 240 members and played more than 80 kinds of instruments. It was difficult to imagine that they could play such an experienced piece.

Greta, standing beside her, said, "That conductor is Mr. Norda, the music conductor of Fontaine."

Xu Fan was shocked once again. He had to admit that everyone who participated tonight was someone of great importance, and each of them was world-renowned.

The applause continued, but gradually it subsided.

A blonde female host walked onto the stage and, with simple, catchy phrases, reignited the atmosphere.

At this point, the host continued, "As usual, let's first give a brief overview of tonight's global invitational event. We hope everyone has a happy and enjoyable evening."

Regardless of whether the main point was made, applause rang out again.

The host, holding the microphone, said, "First of all, tonight the musicians from various countries on stage will perform on their best instruments in order, such as guitar, piano, saxophone, bass, etc. This first performance is for show. Of course, in addition to the musicians and masters from various countries present here, others can also come up on stage to perform. There are no rules, as long as you are confident enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out again, and Xu Fan could clearly hear many people talking about it.

"It seems to be no different from previous invitational events. First, there will be performances by musicians from various countries, and if I'm not mistaken, the next part will be a discussion on music."

"What if no one goes up to perform if you say that?"

"You're overthinking it. The masters sitting on the stage with their names on the label are all musicians who stand at the pinnacle of their respective countries. They are all very confident people, and their participation is a mandatory requirement. The others are there voluntarily."

"I see. Well, although I think I play the guitar quite well, to be honest, I don't have that confidence, since Mr. Terence will definitely go up and perform."

As Xu Fan listened to the discussions among the crowd, he gradually understood what was going on; it was actually quite simple.

The first round of the invitational event was performative; the second round...

The host began by saying, "After the performance, we will move on to our discussion session. This session will mainly focus on the understanding and discussion of the music. In addition, and most importantly, each of our countries has its own musical instruments, as you all know. Every year, the invitational event features a performance where the most beautiful and melodious piece is played on the instrument of one's own country. This will be the second round of discussion."

Then the host added, "The discussion may not have a winner or loser, but it is still meaningful. We hope that every musician here will give it their all."

Xu Fan was slightly surprised, not expecting the second round to be a discussion similar to a competition.

Most importantly, Xu Fan understood the host's last sentence.

There will certainly be no first or second place in the discussion, and this invitational meeting will not have a first or second place situation either.

But as the host said, there is always some meaning to it.

The second round requires players to play beautiful melodies using instruments from their own country.

But what if someone else plays a piece of music, using the same instruments from your country, and plays it even better than you?

At this point, it's clear that it has little to do with individuals anymore, because it involves national music.

Everyone present is a top musician from their respective country, but that doesn't mean they all use instruments from their own country. For example, the guitar isn't from China, but sitting at the top is Hu Tu, a Chinese musician and a guitar master.

Most importantly, Hu Tu's guitar wasn't considered particularly good by Xu Fan.

This made Xu Fan begin to worry. He didn't know what instruments the Chinese musicians sitting next to Hu Tu were proficient in, but if each of them played instruments from other countries, this second round of discussion would be...

Having thought this through, Xu Fan stopped pondering it further.

For the first round of performances, all twenty-one masters sitting above will be present.

The other musical masters seated below chose whether or not to perform, based on their own interests.

Of course, after the introduction, the host added, "By the way, according to the usual rules of the invitational event, as you all know, in addition to the arranged performances and self-organized performances, there are also invited performances. Good luck everyone, and now please welcome the first music master to the stage to perform."

The host stepped off the stage, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively.

Xu Fan listened to the host's final addition without thinking too much about it. The performance arrangement referred to the actual masters sitting on the stage.

The performances that took the initiative to take place were those by other confident music masters on stage.

An invitation should be extended by someone else.

As the host left the stage, thunderous applause erupted, and a harp master from Granland took to the stage to perform.

As the room quieted down, the master began to play the harp.

As a stringed instrument, the harp doesn't have a large following. However, the harp has a unique sound quality and is a system in itself. A master who can play the harp and become a world-renowned harp master must have a very strong skill.

After the song ended, the applause from the audience was continuous and lasted for a long time.

As the true opening piece of this invitational event, the harp master's performance was, of course, the result of discussions among the event organizers, and it certainly lived up to the arrangements.

After the performance, the host asked if anyone had been invited to participate. The master smiled but did not invite anyone else.

After the performance, the second master was a saxophone master from that country. His deep, resonant voice amazed countless people in the audience. He truly brought out a unique flavor in the saxophone, which was absolutely stunning.

Even Xu Fan, though he didn't understand it, still thought it was great.

One after another, musicians from various countries took turns performing. Chinese master Hu Tu went up and played a guitar piece, which was met with thunderous applause. However, it was only after Terence's performance that it became clear that the applause given to Hu Tu earlier seemed rather small.

Xu Fan frowned, not because of the applause, but because Hu Tu's performance was indeed inferior to Terence's.

Both are guitar masters, but the difference is extremely obvious.

Xu Fan frowned because, in essence, tonight's invitation meeting was related to a national level.
