The lounge.
Lin Zhaoyang held a tablet.
On it were surveillance feeds.
In the footage, Su Yu was chatting with Shen Chun.
"This kid is too low-key. Ever since he got here, he's just been wandering around aimlessly. Such a great opportunity to show off, whether it's singing or playing the piano, why don't you go for it!"
Lin Zhaoyang's voice was filled with a sense of disappointment.
He had been paying close attention to Su Yu's every move and knew his capabilities very well.
His singing could beat ninety percent of the people here.
And he was also very skilled at playing the piano.
But the kid had no intention of performing.
This left Lin Zhaoyang speechless.
"Forget it, our Xiaoyu is naturally a low-key child."
Chen Rong chuckled, covering her mouth.
She had interacted with Su Yu more and knew he wasn't someone who liked to be in the spotlight.
"No way, my son-in-law, Lin Zhaoyang's son-in-law, can't be so timid."
Lin Zhaoyang said with annoyance.
His principle was: if you have the strength, show it off; otherwise, it's a waste of talent!
In his youth, Lin Zhaoyang often uttered a phrase:
"Geniuses are meant to be stepped on!"
When everyone called him arrogant and conceited back then.
He remained unbridled.
Instead, he used his actions to slap those people in the face one by one.
Ultimately, he founded Dynasty Entertainment, currently the largest entertainment empire in China.
"Then what can you do?"
Chen Rong glanced at Lin Zhaoyang, but her eyes were full of affection.
She loved this Lin Zhaoyang, sharp and aggressive, this was the real Lin Zhaoyang!
Her personality was quite similar to Su Yu's, both not liking to deliberately seek the limelight. Lin Yanyu, on the other hand, was very much like Lin Zhaoyang, otherwise, she wouldn't have done things like confessing publicly.
"Like this..."
Lin Zhaoyang thought for a moment.
He took paper and pen from the nearby table.
He wrote a line of text on it.
Chen Rong leaned over curiously and couldn't help but laugh when she saw what was written.
"Is this how you act as a father-in-law?"
She lightly patted Lin Zhaoyang and said with annoyance.
"Heh heh, this is what a father-in-law should do. Assistant Liu, take this note to that kid Su Yu."
Lin Zhaoyang chuckled and handed the note to the assistant beside him.
The Assistant Liu he mentioned was the middle-aged man who had let Su Yu in at the door earlier.
After he took the note out, Chen Rong looked at Lin Zhaoyang with a sly smile and teased, "You dare to threaten Su Yu, aren't you afraid your daughter will find out and be angry with you?"
"Heh heh, don't worry, that kid won't say anything."
Lin Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment, then pulled his wife into his arms and pecked her on the cheek.
"Stop it, someone will see!" Chen Rong said coquettishly.
"No one dares to enter my lounge."
Lin Zhaoyang laughed heartily.
Chen Rong rolled her eyes at him, then nestled in his arms, watching the tablet with interest.
...
At the scene.
Su Yu was still chatting with Shen Chun.
Assistant Liu approached him.
"Mr. Su Yu, the boss asked me to give this to you."
He handed the note to Su Yu with a smile.
"Your boss?" Su Yu was stunned, recognizing the middle-aged man who had let him in at the door.
"That's right, Mr. Su Yu will know after he reads it. I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Assistant Liu smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Su Yu opened the note.
"Kid, I'm Lin Zhaoyang. Remember when you cursed at me? Now I'm giving you a chance. As long as you play a piece on the piano, I'll forgive your past mistakes. Otherwise, prepare to face my endless torment."
After reading the note, Su Yu was completely dumbfounded.
Play the piano?
His father-in-law wanted him to show off?
And he was threatening him, saying if he didn't play, he would be tormented endlessly. Is this something a father-in-law would do?
This was outrageous!
"Su Yu, what's wrong?"
Zhou Sisi knew the inside story, so she also knew this note was from Lin Zhaoyang.
"It's nothing." Su Yu shook his head with a strange expression, glanced at the piano nearby, and asked Shen Chun, "Brother Shen, do you still need the piano?"
"You want to play?" Shen Chun was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise.
"That's right." Su Yu nodded.
He had been worried about how to get his father-in-law to forgive him, and now that he was given a chance, he naturally had to seize it.
Although he wanted to be low-key.
But for the sake of future happy life, he would play.
"I'm all ears." Shen Chun's interest was piqued, and he smiled at Su Yu.
Hearing this, Su Yu took a deep breath and walked towards the piano.
Su Yu's movement naturally drew some attention.
"Who is this person?"
"Does he want to play the piano?"
"He looks quite handsome, but he doesn't seem to be a celebrity, I don't recall him."
"Look at his young age, is he trying to steal the spotlight?"
"Heh heh, Shen Chun just finished playing, is he trying to humiliate himself?"
"Let's not jump to conclusions yet. If he dares to go up in this setting, perhaps he has the skill."
"We'll know when we listen."
Discussions arose from the surroundings.
Shen Chun curiously asked Zhou Sisi, "Sisi, does Su Yu play the piano?"
"He probably does..." Zhou Sisi wasn't sure. Although she knew Su Yu was good at writing songs, she had never heard him play the piano.
"Interesting..." Shen Chun's lips curved.
From his conversation with Su Yu earlier, he could tell that Su Yu wasn't the type to show off mindlessly. If he suddenly went up to play the piano after Shen Chun had just finished, he must have confidence.
However, he was very confident in his piano skills. Not many people his age could surpass him.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of anticipation.
"System, can you customize piano pieces?"
Su Yu asked in his mind.
Although he had "A Love Before Time," that piece wasn't very suitable for playing here.
【Ding, yes, the first piano piece customization, just like the first song customization, is available at a 10% discount.】
"Not bad, a conscientious system, I love it. I want to customize 'Castle in the Sky'."
【'Castle in the Sky' has been customized for the host. Eight million has been automatically donated to the charity fund for the host.】
"Wow, as expected of a world-famous piece, even at a 10% discount it's eight million!"
Su Yu was a little surprised. Fortunately, there was a discount, otherwise, his balance would be insufficient, and he would have had to use "A Love Before Time."
After the piano piece was customized, Su Yu had the memory of the piece in his mind, as well as many insights.
Su Yu suddenly felt that these insights didn't seem to come from the system, but rather from himself.
He shook his head, discarding these distracting thoughts.
Now wasn't the time to ponder these things. Since his father-in-law had requested it, he would play...
He took a deep breath.
He placed his hands on the keys.
And struck the first note.
As the music began to play.
The expressions of the people in the venue gradually turned to surprise...
ps: Three chapters today. I wrote until past three in the morning yesterday. Now my boss called and woke me up. I'm ready to be beaten by him...
