Chapter 46 Shen Mo takes action!
Tang Yating's face turned pale, and she suddenly regretted choosing the piano.
Her mother Chen Weining likes folk music, and she asked her with a smile if she wanted to choose a national musical instrument, such as a pipa or guqin.
But she was very disdainful, thinking that these instruments were too low-end and far less sophisticated than Western instruments such as the violin and piano.
Thinking about it now, I can't help but feel deeply regretful.
Li Zihao was also shouting loudly like Gao Yi, but he didn't dare to go up.
Because he knew his own strengths and weaknesses, his mother spent a lot of money to hire a famous teacher to teach him saxophone, but he was also intermittent in his practice. At most, he would deliberately practice a few songs when he had a performance, such as the "Butterfly Lovers" he played with Tang Yating this time.
When it comes to Chinese musical instruments, he knows nothing about them.
Su Yiyun's face flushed, she looked at Chen Weining, stood up and was about to go up.
Chen Weining stopped her and said, "Yiyun, what are you going to do?"
Su Yiyun bit her lip and said, "This won't work. Johnson is going too far. Let me go on stage."
She pointed to the musical instrument boxes placed on one side of the stage, which contained a guzheng and a pipa, and the boxes were covered with dust.
Chen Weining was very anxious and grabbed Su Yiyun's snow-white wrist tightly, her face full of tension.
"Evian, you haven't received professional training, so you can't go up there."
"Weining, are we going to just watch him humiliate us?"
Su Yiyun looked tragic and her eyes were red.
Chen Weining was also powerless for a moment. Most of the Chinese present were just ordinary company employees, and they were the only few who could play music.
Although she also likes to play some folk music, it is just for fun and her level is even lower than Su Yiyun's.
I just regret that Teacher Qi Lili didn’t come, giving Johnson this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
But she still held Su Yiyun tightly and refused to let go, unable to bear to see her being humiliated on the stage.
"Let me go."
Just then, a voice came.
Everyone looked at it in surprise.
Shen Mo stood in front of Su Yiyun, stopped her with one hand, pointed at the erhu under the table and asked Gao Yi: "Mr. Gao, if your erhu can be used, can you lend it to me?"
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Tang Yating looked at him in surprise and scolded in a low voice.
She had known Shen Mo for more than two years and had never heard him play the erhu.
I think even if he had practiced it when he was a child, his level was very limited, otherwise if he had this skill, he would have demonstrated it in front of her long ago.
Li Zihao looked at Shen Mo with mockery and disdain.
Is this guy out of his mind?
He knew Shen Mo's family situation. They didn't even have a house in Hangzhou and had been renting in an old and dilapidated residential area.
As we all know, learning music is not a very expensive thing, and a good musical instrument is very expensive.
If you want to improve, you need to hire famous teachers, which will cost more.
He didn't think Shen Mo's family had such ability.
The most likely possibility is that it is just for fun, as a hobby.
You don't think you can use your hobby to compete with other people's professional level?
However, he did not say anything to dissuade him. He wanted to wait until Shen Mo was hit and walked off the stage in disgrace before stepping on him.
"Xiao Mo, don't be so stubborn."
Chen Weining looked at him with concern.
On the way to send him home from Xizi Hotel, she heard Shen Mo say that he had learned erhu for a period of time when he was a child.
But so much time has passed, and the three years of high school study are so intense, where is the time to pick it up?
Hey, this kid too.
Johnson's level is obviously close to the top level, and he is well prepared. Even if Teacher Qi Lili comes, she may not be able to turn the situation around.
She gritted her teeth and prepared to go on stage with Su Yiyun and act as an accompanist.
Even if I am not as skilled as others, I cannot let my best friend bear the humiliation alone.
"Sister Ning, it's okay, believe me." Shen Mo looked at her with bright eyes, his tone calm, but with a hint of confidence.
Su Yiyun and Chen Weining looked at him suspiciously at the same time, but saw an inexplicable sense of security on the boy's face.
They suddenly remembered that the Shen Mo in front of them was the medical genius who had saved the girl by diagnosing her illness through her face.
Maybe he can really create a miracle?
"Little brother, my erhu is a top-grade product, worth more than 10,000 yuan, of course you can use it."
"If you are not good enough, don't try to be brave. That foreigner looks difficult to deal with."
At this time, Gao Yi spoke.
Although he was unhappy with Shen Mo because of Chen Weining, he still sided with his compatriots when justice was at stake.
"Thank you, Mr. Gao. It's okay."
Shen Mo took the erhu from him and walked onto the stage.
The audience couldn't help but whisper when they saw a Chinese boy wearing casual clothes and looking a little immature walking onto the stage.
"Who is this? He is so young and doesn't look like a big shot."
"Finally, someone from China took to the field. I thought they didn't have the courage." This is what a foreigner said.
"Wearing so casually, where did this wild boy come from?"
……
Seeing that someone finally came on stage, Johnson stopped sneering and looked at Shen Mo with narrowed eyes.
"Kid, what are you doing?"
He asked in awkward Chinese with a look of contempt.
"I want you to apologize for what you just said." Shen Mo replied calmly.
"Hahaha, why?"
Johnson seemed to have heard some funny joke and laughed out loud with his head thrown back.
"Just because of this." Shen Mo raised the erhu in his hand.
Felix, general manager of the Hangzhou branch of Maje Group, watched the scene with great interest.
Before Shen Mo came to power, he felt that it was really cowardly that no Chinese people stood up when faced with such things.
Regarding this latest project, he has even been considering whether to stop cooperating with Su and Chen companies and switch to Douglas.
The strong should cooperate with the strong, he thought.
But now the situation seems to be getting interesting.
When Johnson saw the erhu in Shen Mo's hand, he couldn't help but laugh even louder.
He knew that China had an instrument called the erhu, but in his opinion, it was a low-end instrument. Not only did it look rustic, but it also had only two strings. It could not be compared with elegant Western instruments such as the piano, cello, and violin.
In his early years, he traveled to Africa and saw that the African natives also had simple musical instruments, such as the calabash harp made of gourds and ropes.
He felt that the erhu was similar to the gourd piano, which could be used by the natives for fun but was not worthy of being accepted by the upper class.
"How would you like to play?"
After bending over and laughing for almost half a minute, he finally stood up and asked.
"It's very simple. Didn't you say that Chinese musical instruments and music are not good?"
"Today I will use the Chinese erhu to play a few Chinese songs and let the audience judge whether it works or not."
"If it's okay, I want you to bow and apologize for what you just said."
Shen Mo's eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at Johnson.
Johnson's expression finally changed slightly. He saw a different kind of confidence and sharpness in this obviously young and immature boy.
He took a deep breath and looked hesitantly at the Douglas Company table in the auditorium.
The accomplices had not expected this situation to happen at all. Some shook their heads, while others nodded.
A trace of panic finally appeared on Johnson's face.
