Everyone was frightened and moved. They didn't expect that the female phoenix was so affectionate and loyal that she would die for the male phoenix. The emotional men and women couldn't help but sob in a low voice.
The sound of the zither was low and slow, as if it was playing a dirge for this pair of unfortunate mandarin ducks, making people feel depressed and uncomfortable.
"What? I don't allow them to die. They are not allowed to die. They want to live happily together forever."
Ding Qianlie's eyes were red from crying and she muttered unwillingly.
As if he had heard her dissatisfaction, Ding Ning's slender hands suddenly sped up and turned into a series of residual shadows. The sound of the zither suddenly became impassioned.
The corpses of the male and female phoenixes appeared in people's minds again. Their blood kept flowing and finally merged together to form a small pool of blood.
A fiery red parasol leaf fell quietly and coincidentally fell on the blood pool. As if it had a chemical reaction, a bright red flame rose from the blood pool with a boom.
Everyone suddenly became spirited and focused on the development of the situation. Although this "A Phoenix Seeking for a Phoenix" ended in a tragedy, it was extremely perfect from an artistic point of view.
But it was human nature to yearn for a happy ending. Even if it was superfluous and ruined this perfect song, they still hoped to see a happy ending.
The corpse of the phoenix burned in the raging flame and gradually turned into nothingness. Then, the burning red flame was divided into two. With a phoenix cry, it turned into a pair of firebirds and soared into the sky. They kept circling and flying, staying with each other until they disappeared into the sky.
The music stopped quietly. Only the elongated flame shadows left by the pair of firebirds in the sky were still vivid, making people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
The scene was dead silent. Ding Ning stood up quietly and bowed slightly to express his gratitude. Without showing off or being arrogant, he calmly walked toward Ding Qianlie with a calm face.
He just looked at her with deep affection in his eyes. He gently held her in his arms and said lovingly, "I'm sorry, sister. I made you sad."
"No, I'm very happy. You played so well. If it weren't for me, this song would have become a masterpiece."
Ding Qianlie quietly nestled in his arms and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone.
Because she knew that the ending of this song was slightly flawed because of her wishes. A tragic ending was far more artistic and infectious than a happy ending.
While Ding Ning used a vague ending similar to butterfly to satisfy the longing for beautiful things in the human heart, it undoubtedly caused this piece that should have become a masterpiece to drop a level.
"What famous piece? Hehe, I don't make a living by composing music. This song was written for you. I feel bad enough that you cried. For me, nothing is more important than your happiness."
Ding Ning lovingly pinched the bridge of her nose and said indifferently.
Ding Qianlie blushed. She had never been so intimate with Ding Ning in public. She was a little shy and wanted to leave his arms, but she had just experienced emotional ups and downs and was reluctant to do so. She could only hide her head in his arms and feel his warm arms with the mentality of an ostrich.
She thought to herself, "Whatever, he can make fun of me if he wants. Anyway, he is my husband. Is it against the law for us to show our affection in public? Is it against the law? Is it against the law? "
Clap, clap, clap!
A lonely applause suddenly rang out. It was from the middle-aged man who knew music. Even if applauding for Ding Ning in public might make the Zhou family unhappy, he had to ignore his conscience and not applaud. Such a good piece of music was really hard to come by.
When he was young, he played music and once worked as a resident singer in a bar. He dreamed of making a name for himself in music.
But in the end, the cruelty of reality killed his passion, so he had to give up his dream and shoulder the responsibility of a man.
But he still loved music in his bones. Even if his dream was gone, the blood in his body would still burn and boil for good music. Therefore, he stood up and was the first to applaud for Ding Ning.
At this moment, he applauded for this good song not as a businessman, but as a musician.
Zhou Junxiong glared at him fiercely. Although Ding Ning played much better than Zhou Haoqian, in this world, the right to speak was in the hands of a few people. As long as no one applauded for Ding Ning, he could forcibly control the situation and judge Ding Ning as the loser.
The middle-aged man shivered all over, and his face was a little pale. He clapped with much less strength and hesitated. "Is it really worth offending the Zhou family for a song?"
Clap, clap, clap!
Just when he was secretly worried, the second person stood up and applauded for Ding Ning.
It was Boss Tang.
Then the third …
The fourth …
And the fifth …
In the end, the whole club burst into thunderous applause and cheered for Ding Ning. It had nothing to do with interests or gains or losses. They only cared about the appreciation.
The applause lasted for a long time and echoed over the club.
"Humph!"
Zhou Junxiong's face was livid, and he felt disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
It was not an empty saying that the law did not punish the masses.
If it was one or two people, or even eight or ten people, with the power of the Zhou Clan, they would be able to suppress them. Taking revenge would only be a matter of a word.
But except for the Zhou family and a few hardcore allies of the Zhou family, everyone was applauding for Ding Ning. No matter how powerful the Zhou family was, they dared not offend everyone.
But he was very unwilling to admit defeat like this, so he could only secretly give a look to a hardcore ally of the Zhou family.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, everyone, quiet down."
An old voice came through the microphone. People gradually stopped applauding and looked at the old man in a red Tang suit who was holding the microphone and about to speak.
"He is Chairman Xue of the Tianlong Group, right? What does he want to say? "
Someone asked in confusion.
"Chairman Xue is the host of tonight's banquet. It's reasonable for him to speak now."
Someone who knew the inside story explained on the side.
"It is said that Chairman Xue and the Zhou family are very close."
Another person revealed the inside story in a low voice. Everyone was suddenly speechless and looked at Ding Ning worriedly.
Although they were not related to Ding Ning, the adapted song "A Phoenix Seeking for a Phoenix" had conquered most people's hearts. Naturally, they were psychologically inclined to support Ding Ning.
But they were businessmen who pursued profits. It was impossible for them to stand up and support Ding Ning at the risk of offending the Zhou family. Applauding for him was already their limit.
"Haha, hello, everyone. I am Xue Nakui, and I am the host of tonight's banquet. I think many people know me, so I will not introduce myself in detail here."
Xue Nakui put on a harmless look and said with a smile, "Just now, everyone enjoyed the performance of Young Master Zhou and this little brother. To be honest, it was wonderful, very wonderful. Although I, Xue Nakui, don't have much musical talent, I was also fascinated by it.
Hearing this, everyone smiled in agreement, but they all knew very well that Xue Nakui seemed to be distorting the truth.
Although this old thing was not young and was a gold member, he had always followed Zhou Junxiong's lead. The Tianlong Group could get what it was today because of the Zhou family.
This old thing was absolutely Zhou Junxiong's loyal dog. Because his name was very close to a certain dog, many people behind him called him Schnauzer with envy and jealousy.
Ding Qianlie quietly held Ding Ning's hand, and worry flashed in her beautiful eyes. She had also heard about the relationship between Xue Nakui and the Zhou family. Because she had no prejudice against the Zhou family before, she had a good impression of Xue Nakui, who was always smiling and looked kind.
But now, the Zhou family was on the opposite side. The friend of the enemy was the enemy. She did not think that Xue Nakui would help Ding Ning.
"It doesn't matter. Just keep watching."
Ding Ning said indifferently.
He really didn't care about winning or losing. In fact, even if the Zhou family arranged this unilateral proposal in a domineering manner, he did not really get angry.
But if the Zhou family did not know what was good for them and continued to play tricks, then they should not blame him for not giving face to Bai Qing.
"Both of you are young talents and have performed very well. I think both of you have your own merits. How about we call the first round a tie?"
Xue Nakui's old eyes flashed. Even if he was thick-skinned enough, he could not help blushing when he said this. This was completely using his power to oppress others, but he had no choice. Zhou Junxiong arranged for him to do this, and he had no room to refuse.
Boom!
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, and they began to discuss in low voices with strange expressions. It was obvious who was superior and who was inferior. This Schnauzer was indeed a loyal dog, it could even say such shameless words.
Zhou Haoqian's face was as red as a persimmon. According to his character, he had always been open and aboveboard, and he would never agree to this obviously unfair result.
But now, it was related to the woman he fell in love with at first sight, so he surprisingly remained silent and acquiesced to this result against his conscience.
"Be quiet, be quiet. I said that I don't have any musical talent. Anyway, it sounds good. If anyone has a different opinion, you can stand up and express your different opinion."
Xue Nakui said with a smile, and his tone was very sincere, but the threat in his words was self-evident.
"Stand up and express my different opinion? "Are you kidding a fool? If someone really stands up and speaks for justice, maybe the young man will be judged to win, but what about the result? He will inevitably be attacked and retaliated by the Zhou family.
"Is it worth offending the Zhou family to speak for justice for a stranger?" The answer was obvious, so the scene fell into an expected silence.
Xue Nakui smiled with satisfaction. This result was completely out of his expectation.
On one side was the rich and overbearing Zhou Family, and on the other side was an unknown nobody. These people all knew what to choose.
What was more, they were all members of the Chamber of Commerce of Shenzhou, and they were all on the same side. Nobody knew how the boy got in. He was just an outsider, and he knew that no one would dare to stand up and help him.
"Nonsense …"
Ding Qianlie was so angry that her face turned red. She was about to refute, but Ding Ning reached out to stop her. He said indifferently, "A draw is a draw. I just want to play with them more. If they keep winning, it will be very boring."
Ding Qianlie's towering chest rose and fell rapidly, and she said angrily, "If there is one, there will be two. What if they still act so shamelessly in the next game?"
"It can be one, two, but not three. I give the Zhou family a chance for the sake of Bai Qing. I hope they know how to cherish it."
A cold light flashed in Ding Ning's eyes, but there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He wanted to see how shameless the Zhou family could be.
"Humph, these people are so shameless. Young Master, do you want to …"
Siya was also angry. She puffed up her cheeks and fiercely made a gesture of cutting her neck. However, she looked so cute and did not have any murderous intent.
"Well, be the secretary of the chairman. You are such a beautiful girl. Don't fight and kill all day long. That's what men should do."
Ding Ning was amused and rubbed Siya's little head.
Siya stuck out her tongue, wrinkled her little nose, and muttered softly, "Young Master values boys more than girls."
