“Chu Chen shocked everyone!

Was everyone here applying to be a member?

And it was so difficult—only two out of so many could stand out.

And you actually said you came to be the president?

What a joke.

Everyone looked at Chu Chen, momentarily at a loss for words.

“You’ve got some nerve.”

“Coming to be the president, why not aim for the stars?”

Liang Wenlun was the first to speak, mocking Chu Chen.

Coming to apply to be a member yourself, and you went straight for the presidency?

“Exactly.”

“You’ve got guts.”

“Forget being president; if you can become a director here before you’re forty, that would already be impressive.”

After Liang Wenlun finished, a few other young people in the room also spoke up.

They all found Chu Chen quite annoying.

You’re just boasting beyond belief.

As for those elegant women, they shook their heads, and some even distanced themselves from Chu Chen.

They considered Chu Chen a lunatic.

An insanely arrogant lunatic.

“Hey there, are you kidding?”

“Hey there, a bit more low-key, the president of the Jiangnan Music Association isn’t just a big deal in Donghai, but even in the entire southern region and nationwide.”

Chu Chen sighed softly.

It was so difficult for him.

Why didn’t they believe him whenever he told the truth?

At this moment, Chu Chen’s phone rang; Chen Changqing sent a message for him to go to Hall No. 1.

“If you don’t believe it, so be it.”

Chu Chen turned to leave.

“Don’t go, boast and then just leave?”

“It’s not that easy; you need to apologize to us for your arrogance.”

Hearing Liang Wenlun speak like this, others echoed.

They also felt Chu Chen’s earlier words had deeply offended them.

Liang Wenlun sneered, saying.

“As president, you need to prepare for ten years, decades, or even centuries?”

“In ten minutes, you can call me president.”

Chu Chen responded calmly.

For today’s performance, Chu Chen had prepared.

Earlier, he had practiced “Nocturne No. 5” thoroughly at home.

With that, Chu Chen left, heading for Hall No. 1.

Liang Wenlun and his group immediately followed; they wanted to see what this guy was up to.

Ten minutes?

And in ten minutes, we can call you president?

What a joke.

Finally, Chu Chen entered Hall No. 1, while Liang Wenlun and the others were stopped outside.

“We’ll just wait outside for this guy to come out and make him apologize to us!”

“He still wants to be president, ridiculous!”

Inside Hall No. 1, Chen Changqing and several old-fashioned directors of the Jiangnan Music Association sat.

Chu Chen observed that the average age of these directors was at least sixty.

That’s why Chen Changqing called them antiques.

As Chu Chen looked at these directors, they were also observing him.

So young?!

Although having heard from Chen Changqing, they had prepared themselves mentally.

But upon actually seeing Chu Chen, they were still taken aback.

He was just over twenty; could he really be a piano master, even among the masters of masters?

Impossible.

They didn’t believe it, even if Chu Chen were a master.

At least the top piano masters were forty or fifty years old.

As far as they knew, the youngest piano master started learning as a child and is now nearly forty.

Chu Chen was only half his age.

How could he be a piano master?

These directors began to doubt Chen Changqing’s judgment.

Forget about honorary president; this young man might not even qualify as honorary vice president.

“Play.”

“Prove it to us, and you can be the honorary president of the association.”

A director spoke, getting straight to the point.

“Nocturne No. 5.”

With those words, Chu Chen sat at the piano.

To show true skill, one shouldn’t play overly complicated pieces.

Instead, one should play very simple pieces.

Even a small issue in a complex piece might be overlooked in performance.

But in simple pieces, even a tiny mistake is easily noticed.

Upon hearing Chu Chen’s choice, the directors, who were skeptical, began to take it seriously.

The next moment, the melodious piano sound filled the hall.

The directors listened intently.

Gradually, they became entranced.

Chu Chen’s playing was seamless and flawless.

In the end, the directors’ faces displayed nothing but shock and admiration.

As Chu Chen finished, the directors who had doubted him stood up, applauding enthusiastically.

“Youth truly has talent!”

“To have such skill at a young age, impressive.”

Watching Chu Chen, these old-school folks couldn’t help but discuss.

“Fellow directors, does the board now agree for Mr. Chu Chen to serve as our honorary president of the Jiangnan Music Association?” Chen Changqing inquired.

“Agree.”

“No objections.”

Finally, all the directors expressed their agreement.

“The board unanimously approves it.”

“Mr. Chu Chen is now an honorary president of our Jiangnan Music Association.”

With that, Chen Changqing led Chu Chen out of the performance hall to share the news with headquarters.

Unexpectedly, just as they exited, they encountered Liang Wenlun and his group.

They naturally knew Chen Changqing and greeted him politely.

Liang Wenlun couldn’t hold back and wanted to complain about Chu Chen in front of Chen Changqing, hoping he would expel Chu Chen from the association.

However, before Liang Wenlun could speak, Chen Changqing announced to everyone:

“Gather around; I have something important to tell you.”

“From today on, Chu Chen, Mr. Chu, is the honorary president of our Jiangnan Music Association.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Checking the time, it had only been eight minutes—less than ten.

Could Chu Chen indeed have become the president of the Jiangnan Music Association?

It felt like a dream.

Those who had previously doubted Chu Chen and demanded apologies fell silent.

Especially Liang Wenlun, who was particularly embarrassed.

In the end, Liang Wenlun didn’t bother applying for membership; he just slinked away.

Soon, news of Chu Chen becoming the honorary president of the Jiangnan Music Association reached some big names in Donghai.

They expressed their desire to meet Chu Chen, given the vast connections of the Jiangnan Music Association.

After leaving the association, Chu Chen planned to find someplace to eat.

As he stepped out of the car, he heard a surprised voice.

Chu Chen turned and was equally amazed by the person approaching him.
