Chapter 602: Chapter 574 Flower Dance

Li Chen finished speaking and made his way straight toward the stage.

By this time, the stage had fallen into silence.

It seemed as if, following Wang De’s performance, everyone around had become somewhat sheepish.

This was a private, small-scale banquet intended only for socializing within these business circles, and there weren’t even many servers.

This piano was also here for those with an interest to try their hand.

After all, everyone’s main occupation was doing business, and artistic hobbies were just that—hobbies. Few people reached the level of proficiency on the piano that Wang De had, so when he stepped down from the stage, silence ensued.

Being a green leaf is still something few people are willing to do voluntarily.

At this moment, as Li Chen walked toward the stage, he naturally caught the attention of many.

In fact, they even noticed that Li Chen seemed to have had some conflict with Wang De before, so many looked at Li Chen with a knowing gaze.

"It looks like this young man must have come with President Lin. However, I haven’t heard of him before... Hmm, why does he look familiar?"

"Getting into a conflict with Wang De was not worth it."

"What do you know? It’s quite apparent that this young man and President Lin are together. Wang De’s declaration was akin to a confession, naturally, it would make him unhappy."

"Young people, after all, are prone to rivalry and jealousy," someone said, laughing.

But in their hearts, still, no one believed that Li Chen could compare to Wang De. After all, Wang De was focused on playing. Business was only his side occupation.

The people here, on the other hand, were primarily concerned with their businesses, mostly treating these pastimes as hobbies.

Li Chen didn’t pay much attention to the gazes of others. When he sat down, his world consisted solely of the piano in front of him.

Concentration is the greatest capital a person can have for success.

For Li Chen, that was also the case.

He was skilled in many areas, and, as it happened, the piano was one of them.

Sitting quietly, a strange gleam flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

When the first note from his hands fell, everyone was taken aback.

The gentle notes silenced the previously bustling crowd instantly, drawing them unconsciously into the soothing melody.

Then, as the rhythm gradually quickened, a feeling of ethereal bliss arose spontaneously in the listeners.

Many people, even those who had been chatting around, forgot their conversations, surrendering completely to the entrancing music.

The piece chosen by Li Chen was not classical piano music; instead, it was a pure modern piano composition.

As Li Chen played, many felt as if they were in an ocean of flowers. Surrounding them were expansive fields of flowers that soared into the sky with each note’s jump.

As business people, many in the audience possessed strong self-control, but as the notes played, they couldn’t help but close their eyes and quietly enjoy the moment’s beauty.

The real world was too cruel; they wished they could be in this sea of flowers forever, with their beloved, until the end of their days.

Some women, as they listened, even covered their mouths and noses, unable to hold back, but tears involuntarily streamed down from the corners of their eyes.

This piece resonated with them, softening their hardened hearts, which had been toughened by countless cruelties.

"This piece is called ’Flower Dance.’ Translated, it’s called the dance of flowers. As everyone has experienced, it isn’t simply a sensation for the ears to listen to, but rather for the heart to feel, to feel the emotions it brings to you."

Li Chen’s voice wasn’t deep, but it was extremely clear and clean, just like the piece that had just concluded.

Even after Li Chen’s performance ended, many people seemed still immersed in the moment of emotion, taking a long time to come back to reality.

"Hu-lala!"

At this moment, all eyes turned to the figure in the center of the stage, even those who weren’t normally interested couldn’t help but look in the direction of the stage.

"Clap clap..."

With the start of the first round of applause, the entire banquet hall was immediately flooded with clapping sounds.

For a businessman, especially a successful one, perhaps what they experience most is deception and scheming.

Reality wounds their hearts with raw lacerations and, in the same way, forges their hearts as tough as ironstone.

Gradually, they indulge in superficial ostentation, forgetting the emotion and innocence they had long lost.

And today, Li Chen helped them rediscover that almost forgotten truth.

Even though life must go on from here, they might suddenly come to their senses and quietly ponder, whether they are still themselves.

"Thank you, thank you for reminding me that I... I am still me," said a woman in her forties as she suddenly approached Li Chen with a sincere look on her face.

Li Chen nodded lightly, smiled, but didn’t speak.

And Wang De, from the audience, hadn’t said a word since the beginning, he silently gave Li Chen a look and then turned to leave.

Wang De wasn’t wrong; the rank of a piano doesn’t represent anything. Only the piece itself can represent what it’s all about.

And Li Chen, in his own way, performed this piece not as just a simple piano composition. Li Chen played its soul.

The name ’Flower Dance,’ what Li Chen played was the soul of the flower.

Lin Yi also stood in the audience, silently watching Li Chen. As he played, she was moved too.

She felt fortunate to have met Li Chen, to have met a man like him.

Although he could be rascally and exasperating at times, he had the ability to bring surprises, to appear when needed the most.

He was a magical man, capable of adding many vibrant colors to a life that would otherwise be dull and uninteresting.

"Thank you." Lin Yi looked at Li Chen coming down from the stage, her eyes full of emotion.

Even though Li Chen didn’t speak, everyone could see that his gaze was fixed on Lin Yi; he didn’t speak, but his actions had already said it all.

This piece was dedicated to Lin Yi.

At that moment, the women at the banquet were no longer just envious of Lin Yi—they were filled with jealousy.

"Do we still need to say thank you to each other?" Li Chen said with a light laugh, taking Lin Yi’s hand.

"So romantic," a somewhat lovestruck girl said with stars in her eyes, looking at Li Chen and Lin Yi.

And Wang De, who had already left far behind, was also staring intensely in their direction, but his eyes were filled with anger and resentment.
