She had never seen such a perfect man before, especially compared to him, she felt that those rich second-generation guys who spent their family’s money, looked average, and knew nothing were simply useless.
Then, at a certain moment, an idea suddenly popped into her head: I wish my future boyfriend could be like him!
Soon, Zhang Jingdong finished playing his piece.
He looked at the three beautiful women, all completely mesmerized, and knowingly asked, "Mr. Yan, how was my performance? Give me some feedback, if it’s not good, I won’t embarrass myself further!"
Although Yan Ning noticed his smugness, she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Alright, you’ve tricked us again by playing the fool. You played very well, although slightly inferior to Sister Mei, but barely any difference, you’ve passed!"
At this moment, Yuan Mei quickly said, "Mr. Yan, you’re flattering me too much! I’m not exaggerating, but Boss Zhang’s performance just now was absolutely professional-level, way better than mine, it’s like heaven and earth apart!"
Then she couldn’t help but ask Zhang Jingdong, "Boss Zhang, have you really never received professional training before?"
Zhang Jingdong knew she was a professional, and he couldn’t fool her by talking nonsense.
He then said, "Alright, since you’ve noticed it, I won’t lie to you. I actually studied under a master of Chinese music for a while, but I’m sorry, I can’t reveal the master’s name."
Seeing his admission, Yuan Mei immediately said, "I understand, but... Boss Zhang, could you give me some tips on playing the pipa later? I’ve been studying it for many years and there are some parts I’m still not grasping well."
With these words, Yan Ning and He Jieyu were once again deeply impressed by Zhang Jingdong!
They originally thought Yuan Mei’s earlier remarks were somewhat exaggerated, but seeing her attitude now, they were convinced that Zhang Jingdong’s playing was indeed professional-level.
At this time, Zhang Jingdong glanced at Yan Ning and then said, "That depends on Mr. Yan! How about this, whenever Mr. Yan brings me here, I’ll take the opportunity to give you some tips."
While Zhang Jingdong was willing to teach her, he was still in front of Yan Ning and had not yet completely won her over, so he had to show his absolute loyalty to Yan Ning.
Sure enough, Yan Ning, although verbally questioning, "What are you talking about? What does your stuff have to do with me?"
But the delight in her eyes was almost overflowing.
And Yuan Mei also caught on, "Mr. Yan, how about this, every time you bring Boss Zhang along, I will make Crunchy Bamboo Shoots and Crab Meat Meatballs for you, and you can also order any other dishes you like, how’s that?"
Yan Ning was both happy and shy, "Psh... It seems this guy’s status here has eventually surpassed mine, but seeing as your conditions are so tempting... Alright, I agree!"
Then she deliberately looked at Zhang Jingdong, "Boss Zhang, you just tasted Sister Mei’s cooking, you shouldn’t need me to invite you specially in the future, you’ll come by yourself actively, won’t you?"
Zhang Jingdong seized the opportunity, "You still don’t know me well enough, just say the word, not only coming here to eat, even if you want to go to the moon for barbecue, I’ll definitely show up in front of you within minutes!"
Yan Ning suddenly gave him a sideways glance in embarrassment, "What... what are you saying! I can’t be bothered with you!"
Zhang Jingdong laughed, "In that case, I’ll perform a few more pieces for you guys, how about the erhu next, ’Horse Racing’ sound good?"
Saying so, he casually picked up the erhu, but didn’t start playing immediately, instead intently gazing at Yan Ning, "If you don’t reply, I won’t start!"
This sentence was completely like flirting with Yan Ning, especially since he was doing so in front of her best friends and subordinates, making Yan Ning blush completely.
But who could blame him, his talents had conquered her best friends and subordinates, so she felt a bit of pride too.
She glared at him both shyly and annoyedly, "Let’s go with that, but no more talking, start performing!"
At this moment, she seemed just like a little girl in a spat with her boyfriend, deep in love.
Seeing her , Zhang Jingdong immediately smiled happily, "Orders acknowledged!"
Over the next half an hour, Zhang Jingdong performed several pieces for them: erhu pieces ’Horse Racing’ and ’Moon Reflection in the Second Spring’, guzheng pieces ’Fishing Boat Serenade’ and ’Wang Ningmei’, and xiao pieces ’Jade Stream Flowing’ and ’Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake’.
Seeing how the three women looked at him now full of admiration, Yan Ning’s eyes even brimmed with barely concealable love, while Yuan Mei and He Jieyu also showed signs of romantic interest towards him.
Zhang Jingdong then decided to unveil his ultimate move.
Thus, after another piece, he turned and picked up the xun next to him.
"Sister Mei, this xun is really rare, I’m surprised you even dabble in it."
Yuan Mei, seeing him pick up the xun, was stunned, and also somewhat blushed.
Because there was only one xun, and she had always used this one when practicing, so if Zhang Jingdong was going to play it now, it was almost akin to an indirect kiss.
But since she always carefully washed it after each practice, and now she was utterly captivated by Zhang Jingdong’s performance, she restrained herself from mentioning this fact.
Zhang Jingdong then said, "The pieces I’ve been playing for you are composed by others, now I’ll perform a piece I wrote myself!"
"However, I must declare that I’ve never performed this piece in front of anyone before, so I don’t know how it actually sounds."
"If you find it unpleasant, please point it out directly, and I will gladly accept your feedback."
At this point, Yan Ning with a face of surprise, said, "You can even compose music on your own, your skills are even higher up now. But don’t worry, if your piece isn’t pleasing, we definitely won’t lie to you!"
Zhang Jingdong intensely stared at her, "You have to listen carefully, because I wrote this piece while thinking of you, it’s called ’Elegance of a Thousand Years’!"
Immediately, without allowing Yan Ning to react, he started performing.
And upon hearing just a short segmentistance, Yan Ning completely fell for it!
It just couldn’t be helped, the music was too beautiful!
And he had actually created it while thinking of her!
