Chapter 454: 448, Turkish Rondo (Second Update)_1

What song should I choose? Ren He stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, somewhat lost in thought. Now that his life was under threat, he still had to force himself to calm down and think through a careful plan, a situation he had never encountered before.

In both his past and current life, Ren He’s life had been stable. He knew very well that the reason he was able to live comfortably was because there were people fighting on his behalf in places he couldn’t see.

Nowadays, outside of China’s borders, the battles never ceased, and every Chinese person lived not in an era of peace but merely in a peaceful country.

But when it all came down on him, Ren He was still caught off guard, inexplicably entangled in this whirlwind—so what he needed to do now was not to panic, but to face it.

When fate arrived, people had no choice, but what Ren He could do was to pick up that sniper rifle ruling over everything on that blood-red night, standing on that elevated roof.

To survive, Ren He didn’t mind blazing a bloody trail.

Ren He’s emotions gradually settled, as he pondered the next steps and many possible scenarios. At this moment, he also wanted to seize the time before the storm to undertake a task and obtain a Perfect Level reward, to ensure he had more means to save his life when facing the moment of life and death.

He had only one Perfect Level reward left in his hand. Not enough!

He had chosen the song, "Turkish March"!

This piece of piano music was also a favorite of Ren He’s, and he particularly liked two versions: one performed by the Piano Prince Richard, and the other by the Chinese Symphony Orchestra.

Many people think it was a musical piece written by Mozart, but in fact, it was not. It was the third movement of the "A Major Sonata," which was later adapted into the now-famous Turkish March.

This song was rather interesting, its greatest hidden quality was its universal appeal—it was beloved by laymen, desired to be learned by beginners, and willingly performed by masters.

Therefore, in his previous life, the Turkish March’s influence had always been significant, and it had consistently ranked in the top 10 for streaming numbers on music platforms.

Such a song was definitely perfect for fermenting the influence of this concert at this time.

Reflecting, Ren He thought if the other party wanted to contact him, then the concert with numerous audiences would be the best opportunity. In fact, from the moment the concert ended, Ren He would need to be on high alert, ready to move at any time.

He turned back from his office and walked toward the piano room, calling two students to help him record the new song. A hint of surprise flashed across the students’ faces: The young professor had new material and was about to record and release it directly!

Being a part of this was simply too exciting; after all, the outside world was yet to fully appreciate the young professor’s performance level—there were plenty of masters out there.

But, his compositional ability was like a miracle. So far, each of the four songs he had composed was considered a classic among classics!

As the two students followed the young professor to the piano room, they sneakily texted their classmates about the news. This was a rare opportunity that they had to share with their friends immediately.

No sooner had they spread the word than a large group of Juilliard School of Music students had started flooding into the piano room as soon as Ren He sat down at the piano, all eager to hear the young professor’s new piece!

That was Ren He’s influence at the Juilliard School of Music—the music, seeming magical in its own right, gathered these students who themselves loved music indiscriminately of what they were studying, as music itself knew no bounds.

Sometimes pop music looks down on poor rock, rock despises pop for not being cool enough, and in the electronic music scene, countless people feel the techniques in FADE are subpar. But in truth, all music should always return to the essence of music itself.

Ren He smiled and motioned for everyone to quiet down, and the entire piano room immediately fell silent, as though everyone’s breathing had been halted too.

The next moment, Ren He’s fingers danced upon the piano keys. The Turkish March was a lively tune, so cheerful it could seemingly infect the listeners’ mood.

The magic of the piece blossomed even more under Ren He’s fingertips, and all the students seemed to let go of the depression in their hearts, slowly becoming happier.

Sunlight streamed in from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, shining perfectly upon Ren He and the piano. All the students watched the enchantingly vibrant young professor from the Juilliard School of Music, as if it were the prime time of youth in full bloom.

Ren He himself had been feeling somewhat downhearted, but after playing this piece, he too felt a sense of sudden clarity.

When he finished playing, the roomful of students began to applaud wildly. People had said before that it was already quite an achievement for the young professor to have produced four classic piano pieces; whether he could produce any more works in the future was uncertain.

But now, the fifth classic piece was born!

Being students of music, they were all very clear that this piece was definitely a classic, its beautiful melody unthinkable until heard.

The applause continued for a long time, resounding throughout the Juilliard School of Music. And when the clapping ceased, a student suddenly asked, "Young professor, are you planning to hold a solo piano concert?"

Ren He replied with a smile, "Yes, remember to help me promote it. When you put this piano piece online, make sure to mention that my concert is next Friday in the title, since I get a share of the box office."

"Haha, will do!" everyone laughed. In their eyes, the young professor always seemed a bit ethereal, as if he were an artistic master from another era. And yet, there was Ren He, discussing box office shares, which they found quite amusing.

Once the piece was posted online, "Turkish March" along with the young professor’s own influence began spreading rapidly. The video quickly became popular, and thanks to the young professor, it even made the newspapers: Juilliard’s Young Professor Composes Another Classic Piece!

Ren He watched from the sidelines indifferently—his chief concern wasn’t the box office share but making his plan known to Yang En and the others.

He was confident that once Yang En was safe, he would surely pay attention to what was happening on his end, as he would certainly want to know if his treasured daughter was safe.

Ren He even thought that it was likely the other party would guess that he was the person on the rooftop that night; after all, his past experiences had already revealed many astonishing feats.

But no matter, for the storm was coming, and all Ren He could do now was to patiently wait for that sliver of a chance.
