Before Xiao Bing had time to raise his hand, more than a dozen parents in the audience had already raised their hands. The hostess randomly pointed at a parent who raised her hand and said with a smile, "Sister, come to the stage."
Maggie was so angry that she stamped her feet. Xiao Bing didn't care. There were thousands of parents in the audience. Although most of them didn't want to perform on the stage, they were still very competitive. So Xiao Bing felt that he could raise his hand later, but he might not be called in the end. Although he had promised Maggie, she only wanted three parents to perform on the stage. If his name was not called in the end, then there was nothing he could do.
After the student's parent walked to the stage, she took a microphone and looked somewhat nervous.
The two hostesses also accompanied her on the stage. The male host smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, parent. How about this, let's introduce ourselves. What's your name? Which student's parent are you? What are you going to perform? "
The student's parent was a woman in her thirties. She said, "My name is Zhang Lan. I'm the mother of Li Tong from Class Three, Grade Three. I'm very happy to attend this anniversary party. My child, Li Tong, owes a lot to the teachers in the school for taking care of and cultivating her. Here, I want to express my gratitude. I'll sing a song, a classic song called 'Unforgettable Night' …"
At first, the student's parent was a little stammering when she spoke, but soon she became fluent. It could be seen that she was a little nervous at first, but she calmed down after a few words. Then she sang. Although her singing was far inferior to that of a professional, it was still somewhat good among the amateurs. No wonder she dared to perform on the stage.
After the female teacher finished singing, she said a few polite words and then returned to her position. The two hostesses first praised her on the stage and then called for another round of applause. Finally, they said with a smile, "I didn't expect the first parent to perform so well. I heard that Li Tong is a music committee member in the class. No wonder she inherited her mother's genes. But this will bring a lot of pressure to the next two parents. Now, which parent is willing to perform on the stage second?"
Maggie looked at Xiao Bing. This time, Xiao Bing did not hesitate and took the initiative to raise his hand. But there were more than a dozen parents in the audience who also raised their hands. The male host called another parent. Xiao Bing and the others began to put down their hands and thought, "Sure enough, I just need to raise my hand a few times and basically complete the task. With so many people raising their hands, I shouldn't be the only one called."
Seeing that the male host called another student's parent, Maggie was so angry that her teeth itched.
This was a student's father who performed a set of Tai Chi on the stage. Xiao Bing took a look and found that this set of Tai Chi was very powerful. From the point of view of performance, it was very beautiful. But from the point of view of real martial arts, it was actually just for show. But the teachers and students who really watched the performance did not know real martial arts. As long as they could experience the visual effect, it was enough. So after the performance, there was a very warm applause, even more warm than the applause after the performance of the previous parent. Because singing was so common. Most of the programs in the whole party were singing, and several songs were better than the previous parent. But this was the only one who performed martial arts tonight.
Then the host called for the parents to raise their hands again. Xiao Bing raised his hand again. Maybe some parents could not stand their children's coaxing and pestering, or they finally thought of what they could perform, so this time there were more people who raised their hands than the previous two times. At least 30 people. Xiao Bing looked around and also raised his hand. He was secretly complacent. It was estimated that he would not be chosen so easily. It was just a formality. Maggie could not find any fault with it. When the time came, he could directly say that he also raised his hand, but they did not call him.
While Xiao Bing was feeling complacent, he heard the host on the stage said, "That parent, the one in the white T-shirt, please come on the stage and perform."
Xiao Bing looked at the person on the stage with pleasure. Suddenly, he saw that the good-looking female host was looking at him and pointing at him. Xiao Bing could not help but be stunned. He pointed at his nose with his finger and asked, "Me?"
Maggie almost laughed out loud. She had just seen through Xiao Bing's mind. At this time, she said with some pride, "Yes, it's you!"
Xiao Bing had to stand up, but soon he thought of another way. He rolled his eyes and walked confidently to the stage.
Maggie looked at Xiao Bing and felt a little curious. She could see that Xiao Bing did not want to perform on the stage, or he did not want to be in the limelight at all. But now it seemed that he was so happy.
Did he see that things were settled, so he began to compromise? Impossible, a conspiracy, he must have a conspiracy.
Xiao Bing walked to the stage, and the host handed a microphone to Xiao Bing. After Xiao Bing took it, the host said with a smile, "As usual, let me introduce myself."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Hello, everyone. I am Maggie's brother."
Xiao Bing deliberately did not say his name, mainly because the two words "Xiao Bing" were so popular on the Internet now, so he did not say it. But everyone did not realize this, because they were all shocked by the words "Maggie's brother". There was a warm applause immediately.
Xiao Bing thought, "This Maggie is really popular in the school. Beautiful people are really popular. It's different."
After everyone's applause stopped, Xiao Bing continued, "I can't sing, dance, or recite poems. I only know a little about playing the piano, so I want to play a piano song. If you don't have a piano here, then I can only forget it."
Hearing this, Maggie was so angry that her teeth itched. This Brother Bing was too cunning. He really had a conspiracy. He saw that there was no piano on the stage, so he deliberately said that he wanted to play a piano song. In fact, to put it bluntly, he just did not want to perform. How could he be so cunning!
After hearing Xiao Bing's words, the hostess suddenly laughed, "What a coincidence. After your performance today, there will be several programs before the party will end. One of the programs happens to need a piano. We also have a piano backstage. Now I will ask someone to carry it over."
Several strong PE teachers began to rush backstage to carry the piano. Xiao Bing was a little confused. How could such a coincidence happen to him? Maggie was already laughing in her seat, bending over. The students next to her asked Maggie why she was laughing, but Maggie did not say anything. She was just gloating alone.
The male host asked, "Maggie's brother, what song do you want to play?"
Xiao Bing thought for a moment, "Damn, since you won't let me hide, then I will shock everyone."
Immediately, Xiao Bing said confidently, "Paganini's Theme Rhapsody."
The male host was stunned for a moment and asked with a look of disbelief, "Paganini's Theme Rhapsody? Really? "
The hostess also said, "In fact, we can just perform one. We don't need to choose such a difficult one. It's impossible to complete."
Hearing that Xiao Bing was going to play this symphony, some people who knew how to play the piano were full of disbelief, doubt, and ridicule. But most people didn't know how to play the piano at all. Everyone was full of doubts when they saw the two hosts' intense reactions. What was so special about this symphony? Why did they have such a strong reaction?
Xiao Bing smiled confidently and said, "It doesn't matter. Since it's just a performance and not a competition, it doesn't matter. I will play this one."
Some music teachers who knew about music began to whisper in private, "Who is this person?"
"Didn't I just introduce him? He is Maggie's brother. I didn't expect Maggie to be so excellent, but her brother is so conceited and doesn't know the importance of doing things."
"That's right. How can he play 'Paganini's Theme Rhapsody'? Even professional music teachers like us don't have the ability to play this symphony. "
"Well, this symphony was composed by Rachmaninoff. It was created using the theme music of 24 Capriccios, in which there are 24 variations. Even an excellent pianist may not be able to guarantee a perfect performance. How dare he challenge this? He can obviously perform a simpler program, and it may be a wonderful performance. But he has to challenge this kind of thing that can't be completed at all. Isn't he afraid of making a fool of himself? "
"That's right. I really don't know what he is thinking. Maybe Maggie's brother is too arrogant."
"I heard from Maggie's teacher that although Maggie is young, her character is much more stable than other children. I didn't expect that she is really not like her brother at all!" The host and the host looked at each other.
The host and the host looked at each other. After all, they had agreed in advance that they could choose the program. Since Xiao Bing insisted on playing this song, there was nothing they could do. They thought to themselves, "Since you are so arrogant, you can't blame us for not reminding you if you mess up the performance." But they would not say so. The male host said, "Since Mr. Xiao insists, let's perform this song. Anyway, it's just for fun. Don't take it seriously. Just be happy."
After listening to their words, Xiao Bing also noticed the disdainful eyes of these two people. Xiao Bing secretly laughed in his heart. He thought, "Since you are all such frogs at the bottom of a well and self-righteous, then you will be slapped in the face later."
