Chapter 313: Chapter 261: Welcome Banquet Ends!

"(Are you Mr. Moonlight? I’ve heard of you for a long time, I’ve listened to each of your pieces!)

A Japanese pianist said enthusiastically.

"(I didn’t expect to see you here! I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time!)"

Another Korean spoke in English.

All of a sudden, four or five Asian-faced pianists gathered in front of Lin Tian.

Everyone crowded in front of Lin Tian, eager to speak.

The sudden enthusiasm overwhelmed Lin Tian as well.

It seems pianists are likely to be quite sociable?

He nodded to each one, smiling politely:

"Yes, it’s me."

"Thank you."

"....."

This scene really drew attention, even other musicians who didn’t know Mr. Moonlight were driven by curiosity to look over.

In the live stream, the comments of the netizens grew more intense.

[(Ah? Is he really that famous?)]

[(Is he really that impressive?)]

[(It seems only musicians from East Asia have heard of him?)]

[(Really? I even saw Changdao Cheng go over, and he is one of my favorite pianists! Even he knows this ’Lin Tian’?)]

[.....]

If you say.

Before, netizens from various countries were watching as if watching a spectacle.

Now seeing so many musicians recognizing this "Lin Tian," everyone’s curiosity was thoroughly ignited.

....

In a corner unknown to Lin Tian.

Within an hour.

[Who is Lin Tian]

Quietly climbed into the top ten hot searches on YouTuber.

Meanwhile, before Lin Tian and these eagerly approaching pianists could interact much.

At that moment,

On the stage of the banquet hall.

A voice interrupted everyone’s conversation.

"(Respected guests, dear contestants, media friends, welcome to the welcome banquet hosted by ’Xiao Bang International’!)"

A female host in a gorgeous white dress stepped onto the stage.

After a brief opening speech.

She said:

"(Next, please welcome Mr. Heimu Dawu, the dean of the Music Academy of Tokyo Art University, to the stage to give a speech.)"

As the applause arose, an energetic looking elderly man walked onto the stage.

He stood before the microphone, cleared his throat.

And said in fluent English:

"(Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.)"

"(On behalf of the organizing committee of the Xiao Bang International Piano Competition, I extend the warmest welcome and heartfelt thanks.....)"

What followed was a series of rather formal speeches.

Tokyo Art University is indeed considered a top art institution in Asia.

The old man seemed very old but spoke clearly and did not deliberately prolong his speech speed like domestic leaders, which made him look spirited.

Since he is the dean, he must also be a musician with considerable achievements, right?

Lin Tian turned his head to look at Gan Yanyu.

Unexpectedly, during such a boring speech, Gan Yanyu was listening very attentively.

"Is this another musician you like?"

Lin Tian asked.

"No, I am practicing my English listening skills."

Gan Yanyu said seriously.

"....."

Is it really okay to practice this at such a formal event?

"Haven’t you lived in the UK?"

Lin Tian asked.

Logically, with Gan Yanyu’s learning capabilities, her English should be very good.

"I seldom interacted with people outside in the UK."

"Then how much did you score on your English exam at the end of the term?"

Speaking of which.

Gan Yanyu’s grade report, Lin Tian hadn’t yet looked at it in detail.

The last final exam, he and Gan Yanyu had specifically returned to school to take part in it.

Having missed so much coursework, it was impossible for Lin Tian’s grades not to slip, especially considering that the students of Qingzhou Seventh Middle School were average champions of grading.

Eventually, he ranked 4th in class and 7th in the grade.

This was still after cramming the night before using "High-efficiency Learning".

For Lin Tian, this was a huge step backward.

As for Gan Yanyu.

Ranked 38th among 52 students in Class B, and 182nd in the grade.

Rank 182 in Qingzhou Seventh Middle School was stable enough to aim for a second-tier public university, with the possibility to pursue a first-tier one.

Much better than imagined.

Especially considering Gan Yanyu being the Qingjiang Music Examination Top Scorer.

She could basically sprint for a spot at a Double First-class University.

Keep in mind, Gan Yanyu had taken a break from school for over a year.

Yet, she still ranked in the middle tier of Class B.

That was impressive.

In that moment, Lin Tian deeply understood why Gan Yanyu’s learning ability was rated "S".

Talented people, no matter what field they pursue, can be successful!

Yet, despite this, Gan Yanyu was still not quite satisfied.

She always felt her gap with Lin Tian was too big, and that she could be dragging him down.

Although there were still several months until the college entrance examination.

But Gan Yanyu still took every opportunity to study.

....

If Gan Yanyu’s competitors in the competition knew that their opponent was memorizing vocabulary while preparing for the match, they would probably question their life choices, right?

"So, what did he talk about?"

Gan Yanyu asked earnestly.

"Basically introducing the history and tradition of the competition, emphasizing his own status in the international music world and so on."

"Then he elaborated on the objectives of the contest, such as discovering new talent, promoting international music exchanges, etc."

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be an international contest.

After hearing this conversation, Lin Tian felt like he was no longer here just to compete.

But to contribute to the international music business and cultural exchanges as well.

"That’s nice."

Gan Yanyu softly exclaimed.

She looked towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian suddenly remembered.

Wasn’t this the feeling that Gan Yanyu had always been pursuing?

Except, Xiao Bang wasn’t targeting the Dragon Violin Cup but another cello competition.

Still, it gave plenty of room for imagination.

Even if those official speeches seemed so insincere.

"Lin Tian."

Gan Yanyu spoke,

"You must work hard."

.....

"(... Best wishes for a successful competition! Thank you, everyone!)"

With the conclusion of the speech.

The banquet officially began.

The next segments were rather simple.

Eating, chatting, watching performances.

The performance was done by a dance group from the Tokyo International Art Association, reportedly having performed at many significant events.

The performance was quite interesting, although Gan Yanyu seemed not to be watching at all.

Taking advantage of everyone else being focused on the performance, the girl secretly finished half a plate of dorayaki.

She annoyed Lin Tian so much that he turned the dish away from her.

Who would ignore all the delicious food available and keep snatching up desserts!

....

At night.

After the banquet ended, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu exited the restaurant.

He Zhichen was already waiting for them at the door.

As Lin Tian approached, before he could speak,

"I guess, Teacher Lin Tian, you haven’t been online again."

He Zhichen had already taken out his mobile phone, showing it in front of Lin Tian,

"Congratulations, Teacher Lin Tian, you’ve achieved a trending topic on Twitter!"
