The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 452 - 452 426 Divine Comedy

452: Chapter 426 Divine Comedy 452: Chapter 426 Divine Comedy A group of journalists began to discuss animatedly, although many among them could see that this so-called competition was manipulated by Chen Sike, Liu Hun’s performance had indeed introduced an element of suspense.

This time, Chen Sike finished composing his piece first, and a few minutes later, Liu Hun completed his music.

“Producer Chen, please go ahead first!” Bai Ge didn’t bother to ask for the opinions of Liu Hun or the others and let Chen Sike perform first, because he had realized that Liu Hun was not a simple opponent.

If Liu Hun were to go first and his performance wowed everyone, Chen Sike’s subsequent performance would seem lackluster, which they did not want to see.

Chen Sike didn’t hesitate.

He shook out his sleeves, hoping to reverse the tide with this opportunity.

After standing for a few seconds, he slowly began to play.

The sound of his flute was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring flowing down, refreshing and pleasing to the heart and spirit.

In the ups and downs of his playing, it was as if water splashed from a high mountain, leaving everyone feeling utterly delighted.

“How could such a person compose something so good?

Clearly, he’s a crook at heart; it’s truly baffling.” Su Qingya muttered to herself on the side.

Every piece performed today could be considered a classic, but it seemed only Liu Hun’s music was making her burn with passion, brimming with desire.

After the flute piece, the venue erupted in thunderous applause, and some even exclaimed in admiration.

With this piece, Chen Sike had won back the support of many.

His performance swayed many of the undecided, capturing them for Chen Sike.

Chen Sike of course knew the situation well and couldn’t help but wear a proud expression as he whispered to Liu Hun, “Producer Liu, don’t feel too much pressure!

After all, not everyone can do music.”

“You’re right, Producer Chen, especially those who have falsely acquired their fame; they are even less suitable.” Liu Hun replied to Chen Sike without wanting to waste more words and went straight over to the zither, his fingers lightly pressing on the strings, the notes falling like pearls, bouncing off the strings.

Su Qingya couldn’t understand what was happening to her, suppressing her arousal with great effort.

If it weren’t for her restraint, she might have already started to soar to the clouds with the melody of Liu Hun’s zither, climax upon climax.

The sound of the zither was like wine, intoxicating everyone present.

The music was dream-like, lingering around everyone’s spirits.

After the piece “Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank,” rich and flowing yet exquisitely gentle, the music abruptly ceased, the echo resonating.

Everyone was immersed in the music, struggling to pull themselves back to reality.

“Click” It was only after a journalist accidentally pressed the shutter that the delayed applause, which had been held like pent-up thunder, burst forth, continuing for what seemed like an eternity.

The difference between skill and art!

The difference between astonishment and awe!

Liu Hun relied on “Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank” to utterly level Chen Sike’s flute performance, a crushing display of sheer talent!

From the faces of some emotionally charged musicians, already brimming with tears, one could see the impact of Liu Hun’s “Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank.” Whereas Chen Sike’s face, at that moment, looked like he had swallowed a fly—unable to swallow or spit it out, turning completely ashen.

“Brilliant!

Brilliant!

What is this piece?

Why is it so pleasant to listen to?

I’ve never heard it before, and what’s this instrument called?”

“Are you a journalist covering social news?

I don’t know the name of this piece either, but its soul-stirring power is unquestionably true!

Liu Hun truly deserves the title of a versatile agent!

One zither, performed so exquisitely!”

“With Liu Hun, you know from the first note whether he’s got it or not!

I’ve already forgotten what Chen Sike played just now!

But I definitely won’t forget this zither piece!

This news report is worth it today!”

“…”

On the one hand, the journalists were engaging in lively debates, and even more unexpectedly, the music producers…

were crying!

Admiring!

Stunned!

Excited!

It was like a vivid portrayal of a mental hospital.

Exaggerating even further, Su Qingya seated next to Liu Hun had started to squirm in her seat, surreptitiously treating herself to a “self-service meal.”

Bai Ge and Chen Sike exchanged a glance, knowing this couldn’t go on.

With that, Chen Sike nodded meaningfully at Bai Ge.

Bai Ge immediately stepped forward again, “Ladies and gentlemen!

As we stated from the beginning, this competition is simply meant to foster friendship!

There’s no other significance to it.”

With those words, Bai Ge clearly intended to downplay the significance of the competition, and he continued, “As we’ve mentioned before, our association is about to choose a new president, and it should be someone of both moral standing and capability.

Talent alone is not enough!

Morality is required too!”

Jia Tianhao immediately asked, “And how do we measure this ‘morality’?”

Bai Ge nodded and said, “Good question!

I have some information here!

Everyone will understand once they see it.”

After speaking, Bai Ge took a stack of documents from his backpack and began to distribute them.

“Everyone, please open your eyes and take a good look!” Bai Ge held up the documents in his hand and loudly declared, “These are the documents detailing the exchanges between our association and the three major entertainment companies!

The association recommended musicians to the three giants, and the companies bought their works for a cheap price!

Even the rights to their names!

And the most shameful middleman in this is none other than the former president of the association, Su Qingya, and Liu Hun!”

Bai Ge and Chen Sike could not tolerate that Liu Hun had become the main character in the competition they had led, so they had no choice but to resort to their final tactic!

“This…

hasn’t the association always promoted itself as a non-profit organization serving musicians?

Why would it do such shameless and despicable things?”

“Why didn’t we know anything about this before?!

I’ve heard about recommendations too!

But why weren’t the reasons behind them made clear?!”

“How vile!

How disgraceful!

Such actions not only persecute newcomers but also block our paths!”

“…”

A group of producers immediately became indignant, and although many were aware of such rules within the association, they were still dissatisfied for not getting enough benefits.

The whole hall exploded with chatter, not just from the producers’ side but also the reporters started discussing.

“So the association had this kind of deal with the three giants!

No wonder Chen Sike wanted to compete for the presidency!

However, on second thought, isn’t it better for the three giants to get better works for cheaper money?!”

“It might be good for the three giants, and for the president who collected the money, but it’s bad for the well-known producers.

They want both high prices and authorship rights.

Only very good works are even considered by the three giants.

In the end, it’s the holistic development of the association that is hurt.”

“I don’t think Liu Hun could do such shortsighted things.

If this kind of trading went on, musicians would eventually become cheap labor exploited by the three giants.

The association might even disappear in the future.”

“…”

Of course, Liu Hun couldn’t have done such things, he only knew very little and was merely taking advantage of the situation, while it was Su Qingya who had been reaping the benefits.

At this point, Chen Sike, posing as a paragon of justice, stepped forward and directly accused Liu Hun, “Former President Liu!

What do you have to say about this incontrovertible evidence written in black and white?!

What do you have to say for betraying the interests of music producers?!

And!

Filling your own pockets!

Exploiting the value of our musicians, what right do you have to stand here again and run for president?!”

“Chen Sike!

Enough!” Su Qingya finally recovered from her afterglow, her face flushed and her body still slightly trembling.

She had no idea how Chen Sike had gotten hold of this information.

Chen Sike, looking at Su Qingya’s condition, coldly questioned, “Su Qingya, former president!

Look at yourself!

If this isn’t acting guilty and being overwhelmed with shame, then what is it?

Now you know what it feels like to be flushed and shaking, don’t you?

When you were betraying our musicians’ interests, why didn’t you think of today?”

Su Qingya was both angry and amused, silently guessing that poor man Chen Sike had surely never seen a woman climaxing.

But a misunderstanding was also good; it spared her from being discovered and having to find excuses to cover up, “Chen Sike!

Don’t you bewitch the crowd here!”

“Former President Su!

You claim that Chen the producer is bewitching the crowd, you should provide some explanation!” Bai Ge challenged Su Qingya, with many others echoing in support.

Su Qingya composed herself and responded, “Firstly!

Everyone, ask yourselves, has the association ever asked you for a penny?!”

After Su Qingya’s question, many fell silent; indeed, even with the title of member, they really hadn’t contributed anything financially.

“Secondly!

I have indeed recommended new works to the three companies, but it was all voluntary!

This recommendation channel was also to provide newcomers with a better path!

It was all done willingly!

Who among you would want this kind of low price?!” Su Qingya asked the producers present, avoiding the topic of any intermediary fees and the unspoken rules that might be involved.

Liu Hun, listening from the side, truly admired Su Qingya; with just a word or two, she had slowly started turning the situation around.

“Thirdly!

The operations of the association!

Holding meetings!

Maintenance!

And the office space!” Su Qingya pointed at the entire floor and said, “Which of these doesn’t cost money?

Look around!

Where is this location?!

Which district?!

What floor level?!

Go find out how much the rent is!

Has it ever cost you a penny?!

Everyone knows the media is here, we are being watched, we can move from behind the scenes to the forefront, but has anyone thought about how much financial support is needed?!

You are all the pride of the association, and President Liu and I have always been trying to find ways to provide you with more benefits and attention!

But…

to think we would be spoilt by a few rotten apples!”

After Su Qingya’s words, the group of producers was left speechless, while the media reporters began to discuss among themselves.

“Amazing, Su Qingya!

Not inferior to men at all!

Just a few words and she neutralized Chen Sike’s carefully prepared attack!”

“I’ve never heard of Su Qingya’s works, but her tactics are so formidable!

Looking at the items on this list, she’s taken quite a bit in the middle too!”

“It’s hard to say whether Su Qingya has lost or gained.

You know the land we’re standing on is worth its weight in gold!

It’s not a few hundred bucks a month in rent!

It must have taken Su Qingya a lot of effort and money to rent this place!”

“…”
