Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 24) Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 24) Yang Huiying walked somewhat absentmindedly.
Her contract with the orchestra expired today, marking her final performance.
The venue was a bar that wasn’t exactly chaotic, as any bar that could afford to hire an orchestra had some standard.
However, the patrons there were a mix of all sorts of riffraff.
Yang Huiying never expected that she would catch the eye of a drunkard.
“This lass isn’t bad looking…” slurred the greasy-faced, fat man as he leered at Yang Huiying, chuckled twice, and shouted to the orchestra’s manager, “How much to have her accompany me?”
The orchestra’s manager looked troubled. While some members of their orchestra did offer such services, Yang Huiying was different; she was not a formal member, and moreover, she was a student from the prestigious Pine Forest Music Academy.
He said with a forced smile, “Sir, Miss Yang is not a member of our orchestra. She’s a student from Pine Forest Music Academy. You should know about Pine Forest…”
The fat man ignored his words, glanced at Yang Huiying, and sneered, “From Pine Forest Academy? Her? Do you think I’m an idiot? What kind of people are students at Pine Forest Academy, to come and be a pianist for a lousy orchestra like yours? Let me tell you…”
Yang Huiying felt all the patrons in the bar were watching her, a sensation that made her feel very ashamed.
If only she could gain everyone’s recognition at the graduation ceremony, she would never have to endure humiliation like today’s, being bullied by some vulgar rich people and pointed at as if she were a spectacle.
Her heart, which had been wavering, finally made a decision.
In the end, under the manager’s apologetic smile, the fat man found another female musician, cursing as he went.
Yang Huiying hadn’t expected such sordid deals to take place here. She endured the disgust and hurriedly finished playing her piece before heading home.
She took a piece of paper from the very bottom of her drawer.
I’m sorry, Ning Zhao. After all, you live a life of luxury in the Tang family. A work is merely gilding the lily for you.
Moreover, if you can create a piece , you should naturally be able to create a second one.
But at this moment, I desperately need it to save my life.
“This is your work?” Yang Huiying’s mentor asked incredulously.
Yang Huiying nodded, “I spent nearly a year to write it out. Teacher, is there a problem?”
Her mentor excitedly went over the sheet music again and again, then finally spoke to Yang Huiying, “No, no. You are simply a genius. I haven’t seen such an exciting work for many years. At the end of the month, for the graduation ceremony, I will recommend you to perform on stage.”
He was determined that even if the Tang family disapproved of her, he could not let such a talented musician be wasted.
Yang Huiying left her mentor’s office with an excited heart, knowing that she had succeeded halfway down her path.
The end of the month arrived soon. That day, Yang Huiying donned her carefully prepared outfit, applied her finest makeup, and stood on the grand stage of Pine Forest Academy.
In front of her were countless internationally renowned musicians and first-level orchestras.
“Next, I will present to you my work, ‘Sunshine.'” She gracefully curtsied and slowly placed her fingers on the piano keys.
