"If Mr. Chen changes the program just because of Mr. Dai's arrival, you will be stealing the show! Absolutely not! That's rude! "
Yap pretended to be serious and said.
Dai Yu didn't say anything. He just sat beside Yap Liangchen with a smile on his face.
"What do you mean?" Chen narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Mr. Chen, didn't you want to sing Wukong? Let's go with the original plan! "Yap smiled and said.
"I can't do that … Mr. Dai is here! You want me to sing the song that made him famous? Are you kidding me? I don't want to embarrass myself! "
Chen shook his head and said with a harmless face.
"Mr. Chen, you are too humble. Wukong is the program that you prepared. Why would you embarrass yourself? I am looking forward to your amazing performance! "
Yap pretended to be polite. However, he was laughing coldly in his heart. I want you to embarrass yourself! The uglier the better!
Xiaoyao said worriedly, "Xiaobei, you have prepared this program for a few days! You must not change it!"
Before the dinner started, Xiaoyao had warned Chen again and again. She was worried that Chen would make a fool of himself. It would be terrible if he changed the program.
There were so many VIPs, and it was such a formal occasion. Everything would be ruined if Chen made a fool of himself.
Xiaoyao even regretted asking Chen to perform in the first place.
She could only blame herself for making a promise to the children in the orphanage.
It was too late for regrets now.
"But … I don't sing well … Everyone will laugh at me …" Chen said embarrassedly.
Lan smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry. We will not laugh at you. You are not a professional singer. It is normal for you to have some flaws in your singing."
Wu's heart ached when he saw how gentle his goddess was to Chen.
However, as a good friend, Wu Junfan did not hesitate to support him, "Xiaobei! Go for it! I believe that you can do it! "
"Sigh …"
Chen sighed and said, "But, not only am I not good at singing, I am not well-prepared as well … I will forget the lyrics if I get stage fright …"
Yap Liang Chen almost burst out laughing when he heard that. Today, he wanted to see Chen make a fool of himself. He wanted to slap Chen in the face.
Looking at Chen's lack of confidence, Yap started to think about how he could humiliate Chen later to satisfy his craving for fun.
The elders around him did not know what was going on. But, they were all kind enough to encourage Chen.
"Xiaobei, relax! No one was born knowing everything! It's not scary to embarrass yourself. As long as you can learn something, you can grow and do better! "Lan Zhengguo said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid! Young people should have the courage to go through hardships! "Murong Tian said in a deep voice.
"Yeah! Only by daring to take risks could one grow! If you don't even have this bit of courage, then you can only stay where you are! "Wu Zhebang also encouraged.
"Yes, you are right. But … I'm still worried that I can't sing well … I'm going to disappoint the guests …" Chen was nervous. It was as if he was about to go to war.
Mud can't stick to a wall!
Yap's eyes were filled with disdain. He was so happy. He grinned and said pretentiously, "Mr. Chen, stop hesitating. After you finish singing, I will ask Dai Yu to sing again. So, you can learn from him and find out where you are lacking! The guests will not be disappointed as well! "
"But …" Chen looked innocent. He wanted to say something else.
* Cough! *
Han frowned and said in a serious tone, "Although I shouldn't spoil the mood, it seems like everyone has forgotten the main theme of tonight's dinner! Charity is the main theme! Singing and dancing are just decorations! Don't put the cart before the horse! "
"Right! Right! Elder Han is right! "
Yap nodded his head like a chicken pecking at grains. Then, he turned around and said coldly, "Chen! Sing if you are a man! We won't force you if you are not a man! Don't dawdle and delay the proper business! "
"Although I'm not good at singing and I'm not confident, and I might forget my lines … But, I can't stand it if you say that I'm not a man! Sing! I have to sing! "
Chen raised his eyebrows, and his lips curled into an evil smile. But, no one noticed it.
At the same time, Yap laughed coldly. He thought to himself, "If you dare to sing, I will slap your face until it's swollen! Just wait for your death! Hehehe … "
After that, the dinner proceeded according to the usual procedure.
First, Chen went on the stage to give a speech.
Xiaoyao had prepared the speech beforehand. It was well-written and filled with positive energy.
Chen finished reading the speech. A round of applause came from the audience.
Then, it was the signing ceremony for the three donation projects.
Donated to Green Vine Orphanage.
Donated to North Mountain Village Hope Primary School.
Donated to South Lake Public Nursing Home.
Then, the leaders of the three organizations signed the letter of intent with Chen. Then, they took a picture together.
Finally, there was a short Q&A session. The famous media would ask Chen questions.
All the questions and Chen's answers would be recorded and written into a news report. This would allow the public to know more about the Xiaoyao Foundation.
The whole process went smoothly. Chen had completed his mission as the chairman of the Xiaoyao Foundation.
All the guests were impressed by Chen's performance. Even Elder Han could not stop praising him.
At the end, there was a donation session. But, that would be done at the end of the dinner.
The reason was simple. When everyone was satisfied with the food and drinks, they would donate more generously.
"Dear guests, according to the dinner schedule, I will be the next to perform a performance for all of you."
Chen stood on the stage and held the microphone. He said loudly, "The song that I'm going to dedicate to all of you is Wukong!"
When Chen said that, it stirred up a thousand ripples. The guests who did not know the truth started to get excited.
"What? Did I hear it right? He is going to sing Wukong? "
"That is Dai Yu's famous song! How dare he sing a cover song in front of us? Isn't he a little too daring … "
"Don't tell me he's trying to make a fool of himself to please the crowd?"
"He is just asking to be slapped in the face! Get ready to complain! "
...
The smile on Yap's face got bigger and bigger when he heard the discussions around him.
"Mr. Dai, when that kid is done, you can go on stage and sing again! Make him feel so ashamed that he will never show his face again! "
Yap moved closer to Dai Yu's ear and whispered, "If you perform well, I will reward you handsomely."
"Don't worry, Master Yap. That kid doesn't know anything. It's easy to step on him …" Dai Yu grinned. But, he was shocked before he could finish his sentence.
