Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

"Mr. Yu, you have finished speaking, right? Now it's my turn."

Su Chen reached out and grabbed the microphone from Yu Guangping's hand, though no one knew quite how it ended up in Su Chen's grip.

Yu Guangping couldn't help feeling depressed—he had wanted to say a few more charming words to win over Xia Qiuru's heart.

The diners in the restaurant found Su Chen's actions strange, wondering what he was up to.

Su Chen paid no attention to the others and began to speak in his distinctively masculine voice:

"In a remote backwater, in the darkness of an imprisoning life,

my years quietly passed away,

devoid of longing, devoid of inspiration,

devoid of tears, devoid of life, and devoid of love.

Now, my soul has begun to awaken:

before me you appear again,

like a fleeting illusion,

like a spirit of pure beauty.

My heart leaps in ecstasy,

for everything has awakened anew,

with longing, with inspiration,

with life, with tears, with love."

When Su Chen uttered the first word, everyone in the restaurant was captivated by his unique magnetic voice.

Everyone clearly felt the thick love and deep emotion in his words!

Sitting below, Xia Qiuru shivered internally when she heard Su Chen recite this famous poem by Pushkin, feeling as if something had plucked at her heartstrings!

This was her favorite love poem—how did this man know?

"Next, I will also perform a piano piece, 'Adelina by the Water,' dedicated to the angel in my heart, Ms. Xia Qiuru!"

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the crowd in the restaurant burst into an uproar!

"This guy is apparently challenging in a contest!"

"Now it's getting interesting!"

"He's really overestimating himself. The previous performance was so good, almost at a concert level; how could he possibly compare?"

"He's probably just at a primary school level, thinking he's amazing; we just need to sit back and watch the show."

"Exactly, let's just wait to see him get a smackdown."

Obviously, most people thought that this ordinary young man competing with the refined Yu Guangping in piano playing was an act of folly.

Xia Qiuru had not expected that Su Chen's approach would be to directly suppress Yu Guangping by playing the piano.

Although Xia Qiuru didn't know if Su Chen could play the piano or how well he played, frankly, she wasn't very confident about it.

She knew a bit about piano; even though she didn't like Yu Guangping much, she had to admit that he had played quite well just now.

A look of worry appeared on her pretty face; at this moment, she cared less about making Yu Guangping uncomfortable and was more concerned that Su Chen might face embarrassment.

"Mr. Su, everyone dining here holds a certain stature, and I think it's unnecessary for you to leave a bad impression on everyone,"

Yu Guangping said with a face of 'sincerity'.

"How so? You can play, and I cannot? Or do you think that you play much better than I do?"

Su Chen tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"Of course, although it might seem a bit disrespectful, it is just being realistic! My skill level has already surpassed the Tenth Level, nearly reaching that of concert performance."

Yu Guangping boasted pridefully, full of confidence. Having been naturally gifted at the piano and instructed by renowned teachers since childhood, he naturally considered Su Chen no match for him.

"In that case, why don't we make a bet and see whose performance is better!"

Su Chen responded with a light smile.

"Alright, sir, would you please act as a judge for us?"

Yu Guangping said to a middle-aged man nearby, knowing he was the pianist hired by the restaurant to entertain the guests.

"It's an honor, and I think as a performance-level pianist, I should be qualified enough to be a judge."

The middle-aged man said, his expression confident yet refined.

"Fine, I have no objections. What about the wager?"

Su Chen asked, his face showing no particular emotion.

"How about we wager 500,000?"

Yu Guangping said, a sly smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

The counterpart's proposal of the bet was exactly what he had hoped for. In his eyes, 500,000 was definitely going to cost the young man a lot of money, and he even doubted whether the young man had that much in total wealth.

"Too little."

Su Chen glanced at Yu Guangping and said indifferently.

"Then what do you want?"

Yu Guangping asked, somewhat surprised. This guy, 500,000 wasn't enough? What else did he want? Did he really think he could win?

"Ten times that, 5 million!"

When Su Chen spoke, it was as if a bomb had dropped!

At the sound of his words, everyone was stunned.

"5 million! Just for a piano competition, and the stakes are so high!"

"This guy must be crazy from poverty—trying to fleece the other party!"

"Yeah, but he has to win to do that!"

"He's really insane!"

For a moment, almost everyone thought the young man had lost his mind.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Yu Guangping was also taken aback.

Five million? For a piano contest?

Even with plenty of money, that wasn't the way to spend it!

Besides, his company wasn't big, and his personal liquid assets were only around 700,000 to 800,000. If he truly lost the 5 million, the company would definitely face financial issues.

"What, scared to bet? Then stop yapping here."

Su Chen didn't offer Yu Guangping any face and even muttered 'poor sucker' under his breath as he finished.

This was unbearable, beyond the patience of uncles and aunts!

"Fine, I'll take your bet! But I highly doubt you have that much money!"

Yu Guangping couldn't help saying. If he backed down now, the embarrassment would be enormous.

Moreover, Yu Guangping wasn't completely infuriated by Su Chen; in fact, he was quite clear-headed about it.

He believed that with his skills, there was no way this guy could win—it would essentially be handing him 5 million, that is, if he even had it.

At this point, he looked again towards Xia Qiuru. For this stunning beauty, he couldn't back down!

Yet he was very doubtful whether this guy really had that much money!

Not just him, others were also skeptical!

Because Su Chen didn't look like someone who had 5 million— that was a lot of money!

"The money in this card is sufficient, if you don't believe it, you can try it."

Su Chen casually pulled out a bank card from his pocket, which Qiuru had previously returned to him, albeit one he had extorted.

Seeing that Su Chen actually pulled out a bank card, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief—this guy actually had that much money!

"No need, then we just look forward to Mr. Su's superb piano skills."

Yu Guangping said sarcastically, acknowledging that since he had a card, the guy must really have the money, which somewhat surprised him.

But it was fine, free money is always welcome—not to mention he could also break his opponent's pride.

"I will not let you down, Mr. Yu!"

Su Chen gave him a bland look, turned, and sat in front of the piano. Yu Guangping also casually found a seat nearby...
