Yang Huiying was walking along absentmindedly.
Her contract with the orchestra was ending today, so this could be considered her last performance with them.
The location was at a bar. It couldn’t really be called rowdy. Considering the fact that they could hire an orchestra to perform, the bar could be considered a bit classy.
However, the guests were various types of bad people1.
Yang Huiying never would have expected that she would have attracted the attention of a drunk asshole.
“This little girlie’s appearance is pretty good ah……” The oily-faced fatty watched Yang Huiying as he laughed ‘hehe’ twice before turning to yell to the orchestra’s manager. “How much to let her accompany me?”
The orchestra’s manager had a look of indecision on his face. Their company did occasionally provide this type of service, but Yang Huiying wasn’t the same. She wasn’t an official employee and she was still the student of a famous music university.
He laughed along with him and said, “Sir, Miss Yang isn’t actually our orchestra’s employee. She’s Qing Song Ling University’s student. I’m sure you’ve known of Qing Song Ling ba…….”
The fatty was ignoring his words. He widened his eyes to observe Yang Huiying before sneering, “Qing Song Ling Institution? Her? Do you think I’m stupid? The kind of people that attend Qing Song Ling University would come to your shitty company to be a pianist? Let me tell you……”
Yang Huiying could feel that the everyone in the bar was watching her. This sort of attention made her feel a sense of shame.
If, if she could perform for her graduation and earn everyone’s recognition, then she would never have to experience something like today again. These few vulgar people were talking about paying for her and bullying her, watching and pointing at her like they were watching a circus act.
Her indecisive heart finally made a decision.
In the end, as the manager laughed and socialized with him, the fatty cursed2 and chose another female musician.
Yang Huiying had never imagined that there would actually be such dirty transactions in the company. She fiercely suppressed the disgust in her heart and rushed through the rest of the piano piece before going home.
She pulled out the piece of white paper from the bottom of her drawer.
Sorry, Ning Zhao. At least you’re living in the Tang home and experiencing a life of luxury.3 Looking at it that way, this music piece is just the embroidery on the brocade4 for you.
Also, if you can create this type of music once, then, naturally, you can do it again.
And now I am in this state, so I need it to save my future.
“This is your composition?” Yang Huiying’s tutor looked at her incredulously.
Yang Huiying nodded her head. “I spent nearly a year’s time to compose this. Teacher, is there something wrong with this?”
Her tutor excitedly looked over the music score again and again for quite a while before addressing Yang Huiying: “No, no, you are simply a genius. It has been many years since I’ve seen such a thrilling piece. For the graduation performance at the end of this month, I will recommend you.”
He had already firmed his heart in determination. For this kind of brilliant and stunning5 student, it didn’t matter if the Tang Family disapproved of her. He couldn’t let such a musician be buried.
Yang Huiying left her teacher’s office filled with excitement. She knew that her future was already half-secured.
The end of the month quickly came. That day, Yang Huiying dressed in her carefully prepared outfit, drew exquisite makeup, and stood on Qing Song Ling University’s large stage.
Before her were countless world-known and famous music artists and top-tier orchestras.
“Next I will perform for all of you, my composition, [Sunlight].” She greeted them elegantly before slowly placing her fingertips on the piano keys.
