Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

"Eh!? Is that person below Mr. Arima?" Although Miyazono Fumio had been chatting with Yukino and the others, because she was sitting close to the balcony fence, she could still see the stage below by turning her head.

After hearing what Miyazono Fumio said, Yukino and the others stopped chatting, and Miyazono Fumio introduced his childhood sweetheart to the people who looked over curiously.

"Huh? So, this Arima Kousei is a well-known pianist in Akita Prefecture. Since he's a friend of Xun, let's listen to him and see what his level is. If he's called a child prodigy, his level should not be low." Eriri and the others, who were listening for the first time, walked to the fence and looked down. A weak-looking boy with glasses was preparing to start playing on the stage.

However, as they listened, Altria, Toosaka Rin, and Eriri, girls from prominent families, frowned and looked at Miyazono Kaoru in surprise. They found that Miyazono Kaoru was also frowning. Anyone who had a little in-depth study of music would not recognize this quality of performance.

Miyazono Fumio was very surprised, "Is this really Mr. Arima? It was not like this in the music hall in the morning. Could the quality of the performance be so poor because the instruments are not suitable?"

Kousei Arima, who was playing the piano on the stage below, felt heartbroken at this moment. When he just went on stage to thank the audience, he inadvertently looked up at the VIP seat at the top and saw a familiar person, his childhood sweetheart, Fumio Miyazono, who had personally promised to let go in the morning.

At that time, Miyazono Fumio was facing away from the stage, nestling in the arms of the young man who had sent someone to cure his mother's terminal illness in the backstage lounge that morning. Although he knew that it was a deal and that he was the one who got the biggest benefit, Kousei Arima still felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Miyazono Kaoru is my childhood sweetheart.

Although the confused Kousei Arima has solid basic skills and can play basic scores smoothly, he lacks his unique personal playing style and emotions, and the stiff piano sound can only be at the level of electronic music performance.

"What a pity, Mr. Arima's performance this time was far below standard. If the judges from Mogu High School were present, it might affect his recommendation for further music studies in the future," said Fumio Miyazono in a helpless tone, very disappointed that her childhood sweetheart had failed to perform at such a crucial occasion.

Although he has now found Li Xuan, his favorite person, and will not regard the violin as important in the future, but for Kousei Arima, who has always been quite talented in piano, he still wants to see him have a good stage and achieve certain achievements.

But she didn't expect that Arima Kousei's performance level would drop so badly at this B&B concert. Miyazono Fumio didn't know how to evaluate her childhood sweetheart. Moreover, she had recommended him in front of so many friends, which made her a little embarrassed.

But the next moment, after hearing what Li Xuan said in her ear, Gong Yuan Xun's eyes flashed with super surprise. She hugged Li Xuan tightly and looked up at him with gentle eyes looking at her.

"Really? Xuanjun, do you want to play a song with me on the stage?"

-Kaoru Miyazono

Chapter 258 Shiyu and Eriri

"Eh!? Performing together? With Xuanjun?"

After hearing Miyazono Kaoru's surprised words, Yukino and the others also looked over.

"Idiot, now it's okay, go and discuss it with your good sisters," Li Xuan tapped Gong Yuanxun's forehead lightly and spoke unhappily.

He is full of energy, but he is also a bit thick-skinned. He wanted to give this music girl an unforgettable memory, but he didn't expect that she would burst out after listening to him.

She stuck out her tongue playfully and looked at her best friends who were staring at her. Miyazono Fumio also knew the problems her words had caused, so she laughed it off and walked over to pull Yukino and the others to start a discussion.

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who did not have a very close relationship with Li Xuan, came to Li Xuan curiously and asked some questions.

"Wow, really? Xuanjun, you and Hui?" After confirming the truth of the matter from the two parties involved, Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her mouth with an unbelievable look, but the shame on her face and the inexplicable look in her eyes showed that she was feeling uneasy at the moment.

When Altria was chatting with them just now, she had mentioned a little about Li Xuan's background. It can only be said that the story has come true. As for the best mate candidate, Kasumigaoka Utaha does not have the idea of ​​doing everything for love. She is very rational. Her future partner should at least not be worse than herself, and it would be best if he or she can surpass herself. The dream of the Prince Charming also existed in her book.

As for Eriri, she was even more restless.

In fact, Eriri has known Li Xuan since she was very young. Because her father is a diplomat, she sometimes meets people from various consortiums and even chaebols at related banquets. Eriri saw Li Xuan, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, at a birthday party for the young master of the Xia family of Daxia, which her father was fortunate enough to attend.

At one glance, Ying Lili, who was also seven or eight years old, knew that she was finished, because she still remembers Li Xuan's perfect appearance at that time. Compared with now, Li Xuan at the age of seven or eight was a little childish, but his godly masterpiece-like appearance had already maxed out his charm, but at that time it was his facial features that were maxed out, while now it is his appearance and temperament.

"Is there anything strange? Oh, sorry, I forgot, Shiyu, you are not from my circle, so you may be a little surprised when you hear it for the first time. But Shiyu is also a very outstanding girl. Although Love Metronome is a little immature, it was signed and published by Sakura's publishing house, which shows that Shiyu's strength and talent are still very high," Li Xuan rubbed his chin with his fingers, and then spoke.

"Is this true? Has Xuanjun read my book?" Kasumigaoka Utaha felt shy that her secrets were seen by the person she cared about.

Seeing the blushing expression on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, Li Xuan smiled gently, "Well, I have learned a little about it. After all, it is a new generation of literary work by Sakura. I read a little when I had nothing to do, and then I found it very interesting. Later, I asked someone to buy the entire collection to read. But I'm a little embarrassed because I asked someone to check the author of this book, and then I found out that Kasumigaoka Utaha is a great beauty."

"No, it's okay, Xuan, Xuan-kun doesn't need to apologize. I am also very happy to hear your evaluation. Also, Xuan-kun's praise is too exaggerated. Compared with Yukino and the others, I am still far inferior." Although Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke a little shyly and stuttered, the arcs at the corners of her mouth that unconsciously raised still betrayed her mood at the moment.

"Ha, don't be so modest. I'm fair. Yukino and the others are girls with excellent looks and abilities, so I chose them. In my eyes, Shiyu is not worse than Yukino and the others," Li Xuan said with a serious tone, looking into Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes.

"Eh!?" Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know what to say. Her usual vicious and venomous nature seemed to have automatically disappeared when she faced Li Xuan. She could only look down at the ground, trying to calm down her nervousness.

After teasing this dark and sharp-tongued senior from Toyosaki Academy so that she lowered her head to calm down alone, Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the painter with golden twin ponytails who was looking at him intently.

"Hi, Eriri, I didn't expect that we would meet here again. I remember that we haven't seen each other for about ten years, right? Since your father was transferred to the embassy in Sakura," Li Xuan recalled. His extraordinary strength allowed his memory to be fully revealed in his mind, so detailed that he could even remember things when he was just born.

Naturally, he also remembered that Sawamura Spencer Eriri, the girl with blonde twin tails, had attended his birthday party.

"Xuan, Xuanjun still remembers it so clearly!? I thought I was the only one who remembered it for so long", Ying Lili covered her mouth in surprise, and then her heart was ecstatic. A smaller version of Ying Lili kept shouting in her heart, "See, Xuanjun is the same as me, we are destined to be together".

However, Eriri outside lowered her head shyly just like Kasumigaoka Utaha. But it was a bit regrettable that while they both lowered their heads, Kasumigaoka Utaha's toes couldn't be seen, while Eriri could see half of a complete round-toed leather shoe.

In response to this, Li Xuan also commented, "Ying Lili, don't be picky about food."

"Eh!? Picky about food? I'm not...right?" Eriri raised her head, a little surprised why Li Xuan said this to her, and then she saw Li Xuan looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha, then looking at herself, nodded and shook his head, as if he was sighing about something.

“>o<”, Ying Lili blushed instantly.

A little rabbit rushed over and bumped into Li Xuan, followed by a barrage of pink punches.

"Stupid Xuanjun, is this what I want? It just doesn't want to get up, what can I do?" Ying Lili waved her little pink fist with an unwilling look on her face.

Li Xuan steadily received Eriri's impact, held her small fists with both hands, changed the grip to a state of crossing fingers, lowered his head and whispered in Eriri's ear, "Okay, okay, I apologize, Eriri is also very cute, to celebrate our reunion after ten years, how about you forgive me? As an apology, I allow Eriri to make me your male protagonist, and you as the female protagonist in your paintings. Of course, it will be our private works."

"Woo~, Xuanjun finally found out. I, Yinglili, am too ashamed to face Xuanjun anymore." When Yinglili heard Li Xuan's words in her ear, her temperature, which had dropped a little, instantly turned red again.

Li Xuan laughed when he saw Ying Lili's shy look, stretched out a hand and touched her head, then flicked her little nose with his finger, "Ying Lili, come back to your senses, remember to show me the finished product when the time comes."

-Kasumigaoka Utaha

Chapter 259: Language of Flowers

After teasing Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri and letting their emotions slowly calm down, the three of them continued chatting on the sofa.

Until Miyazono Kaoru and the others came up with a complete plan.

"Hmm? So, in the end, you decided to let Xun and I play together?" Li Xuan was a little confused after hearing the final decision of Gongyuan Xun and the others. She looked dissatisfied just now.

"Oh, we suddenly understand. We will be with Xuanjun for a very long time in the future. We will have many opportunities to record the precious memories. Besides, our musical level is not as high as Xun's. So let's leave this opportunity to Xun and Xuanjun," Xueno and the others explained with a smile on their faces.

Li Xuan nodded, that was indeed the case.

So Li Xuan was pulled out of the VIP room by Miyazono Kaoru and rushed to the backstage of the performance. The musical instruments still had to be selected. As soon as Li Xuan left the VIP room, Kato Megumi and the other two were surrounded by Altria and the others with a teasing look on their faces.

Li Xuan and Gong Yuan Xun came to the backstage and chose among the instruments. They found that the instruments here were too basic. Li Xuan just pressed a few keys, and knew from the vibration when they bounced back that it was a low-quality piano. Xun also encountered a problem. After selecting all the violins, she couldn't find one that was tough enough.

Seeing the lost look in Gong Yuan Xun's eyes, Li Xuan of course knew what to do. He held Gong Yuan Xun's hand and said, "Xun, don't be disappointed. The quality of the musical instruments here is not good. I have asked someone to send new ones over."

In less than ten minutes, the people at the B&B concert discovered that a small transport plane was slowly descending from the sky above.

After the transport plane stopped, the rear door opened, and several sturdy men in black suits pushed something covered with black cloth into the backstage of the concert, followed by several sturdy men carrying several violin cases.

And Gong Yuan Xun, who was leaning on Li Xuan in the backstage, also saw what was being pushed in. She immediately covered her mouth and looked at Li Xuan in surprise. Then she saw the piano, which was obviously worth a fortune, and the several violins opened by the man in black. She could pick any one of them and throw the previous ones away as waste.

"Mr. Xuan," Gong Yuanxun could tell from Li Xuan's actions that he cared about her. When Li Xuan said he had high hopes for her, he was not just saying it, and she was very touched.

"Ha, control your emotions. This is the song we are going to play later. Take a look and see if there is anything you don't understand. I'll tell you." Li Xuan directly took out the Flower Language that they were going to play together later, and asked Gong Yuanxun to practice while watching.

However, Miyazono Fumio was really talented. She just looked at it once, then picked out the most suitable violin that seemed to be integrated with her hand, played a few passages, and nodded to indicate that she was ready, her eyes full of surprise and confidence.

After the last performer on the B&B concert performance list finished performing his or her music, this B&B music feast that had been held from the afternoon until nearly eight o'clock in the evening came to an end.

When the audience stood up and prepared to leave, the host hurriedly ran up to the stage, "Everyone, there is one last performance next. The piece to be played is an original piece for piano and violin ensemble, The Language of Flowers."

Many audiences were actually very tired, and after all, it was B&B music, so the standard was just so-so. When the host said there was more performance, many of them were not prepared to watch it anymore, so some of the audience left their seats one after another.

"Wow, is that a piano? It's so gorgeous, it looks like the stars in the sky are inlaid on it."

The piano that Li Xuan airlifted here is the only one in the world.

"Could this pattern be the Aria of the Stars and Moon produced by the Beethoven Workshop, the oldest piano production workshop in the UK?!"

Those who have studied musical instruments in depth recalled the magnificent piano that was being slowly pushed out on the stage. Its pure color, like the pitch-black night sky, and its patterns that constantly reflected the stars in the sky, were a perfect work of art just by looking at it.

"What? Is this Aria of the Stars and the Moon? Hasn't this only appeared in rumors? It seems that Beethoven Band has never released it?" someone raised doubts.

But the person who recognized it earlier immediately responded, "That's not true. Beethoven Band did not release it, but they did create an Aria of the Stars and Moon, but it was bought by someone before it was released, and there have been no subsequent creations in this series. Its creator is the piano master Arthur Beethoven."

Staring closely at this piano, which may be the only one in the world, the connoisseurs in the audience were very curious about who would be the performer next.

"Tap, tap," the sound of footsteps rang out on the floor of the venue. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, a man and a woman walked out from the backstage passage.

"Ah!!!! So handsome!!"

"Where did this super handsome guy come from!?"

Li Xuan held Miyazono Xun's hand and walked towards the piano. The picture of the two of them appeared in real time on the big screen. Li Xuan's perfect appearance had already charmed a lot of girls before he started playing.

Sitting down on the piano chair, Li Xuan put her hands on the keys and glanced at Miyazono Xun who was standing beside the piano. She was a little nervous.

Li Xuan looked at her with a smile and said, "Let's start, Xun, feel it, this is a duet between you and me."

The soft and soothing prelude notes flowed slowly under Li Xuan's slender fingers. After more than ten seconds, the prelude changed and entered the main song. The slightly passionate music in the variation began to echo in the entire homestay music venue. The audience, who were originally attracted by the aria of stars and moon, were attracted by the beautiful language of flowers. In an instant, they felt that there seemed to be only a god in luxurious clothes in the night sky, using the stars as a musical instrument to play music that did not belong to the human world.

The slightly hurried variation paused and the melodious sound of the violin began. Different from the resonating tone of the piano, the soft and melodious sound of the violin made the audience discover that there was a blonde Venus playing the violin beside the god.

Miyazono Xun was playing the violin with an intoxicated look on her face. At this moment, she felt that she was not actively exerting force, but following the sound of Li Xuan's piano, her hands were subconsciously pulling the strings according to her intuition.

It was not until the end of the song that Miyazono Fumio came back to his senses. Looking at the audience below who were looking at the stage enthusiastically, the loud applause and cheers, Miyazono Fumio smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Wow, I've never heard such beautiful music even in a music hall."

“I don’t know how to describe this feeling anymore.”

As the audience was discussing heatedly, Li Xuan and Gong Yuan Xun stood together on the stage.

"Kiss, kiss", the audience also saw the deep affection in the eyes of the two people on the stage, and they all shouted to help.

Gong Yuan Xun was a little shy, but the next moment, Li Xuan reached out and held her in his arms.

In front of thousands of people, they embraced and kissed each other.

Chapter 260 Newly Planted Flowers

Good music can always convey the performer's emotions beyond language and infect the audience.

With the blessings of tens of thousands of people, Miyazono Fumio had the most wonderful performance she had ever had. She knew that this would be the most perfect performance she would recall every time in her life, with a perfect audience, perfect music, and perfect instruments.

And, the perfect man, Li Xuan, who hugged me tightly and to whom I gave all my passion.

Although the women in the audience saw that their newly appeared male idol was already accompanied by an outstanding goddess, this did not prevent them from having the fantasy of replacing Miyazono Kaoru's position.

The whole audience was cheering and blessing Li Xuan and Gong Yuan Xun. The audience who left early saw this scene in the recorded video of the audience in the venue and felt very regretful. They missed what might be the best music they had ever heard in their lives.

Of course, it wasn't all blessings. For example, Kousei Arima, who was standing on the sidelines, was looking at the two people on the stage in the distance with an unwilling look on his face, as if they had received blessings from all over the world.

After hearing the information from people around him who paid more attention to social news, Kousei Arima's heart completely died, and he left the venue with a lonely look on his face.
