Chapter 746 - A High Chance of Crashing

"Some of our Steinway pianos have an auto-play function; you just need to place a video of the piece on the piano. Additionally, this particular piano is a special edition personally signed by the international performer Lang Lang."

"The store also has a small concert hall that can accommodate eighty people for performances. We were very meticulous with the hall's renovation; performing inside can achieve direct recording quality. Our usual piano competitions are also held here."

Then the attendant enthusiastically introduced further, "Moreover, a lot of effort went into the renovation of this concert hall. It uses the most advanced acoustic design, so performing inside can achieve direct recording quality with superb sound! We also frequently hold piano competitions here, right in this concert hall."

At this point, the attendant smiled somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, it just so happens that several Steinway little friends are here today to exchange piano skills, so it might be a bit noisy. Steinway also takes on some external piano training, and our piano teachers are all..."

The two of them glanced inside through the room's glass, seeing several cute little friends focused on playing the piano. Their techniques were skilled and agile, making one couldn't help but be enchanted.

"But usually, it's very quiet here. Sometimes, an internationally renowned music master will even come to this concert hall to gather with everyone and share experiences! Look, this wall is filled with signatures left by various celebrities who have visited our Steinway House!"

Jiang Cheng and Zhou Ying looked in the direction the attendant pointed and indeed saw an entire wall covered with dense signatures.

After saying that, the attendant pointed to a framed photo on the table and said, "Professors from French art academies also come here from time to time to recruit students. Steinway collaborates with many prestigious schools. As long as one stands out in a Steinway piano competition, they have the chance to be admitted to these schools."

Seeing the attendant still wanted to continue the introduction, Jiang Cheng immediately spoke up to interrupt, "Let's skip the irrelevant stuff for now and look at the pianos."

The attendant had long since noticed Jiang Cheng's wealth and 'imposing stature.'

After all, Jiang Cheng's nose wasn't small, and upon closer inspection, his pants pocket was also bulging. Most importantly, he was wearing a Patek Philippe Minute Repeater on his wrist.

Don't these two things combined exactly mean being rich and 'well-endowed'??

Upon hearing this, the attendant immediately led Jiang Cheng to a flawless white piano with a layer of golden brilliance plated on the outside.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the most expensive piano in our store! However, it has already been reserved. You see, this piano is a specially customized gold-plated model with a price tag of 2.6 million USD. If you truly like it, you can also choose to customize one, but it might take some time for the finished product to be ready."

Jiang Cheng stared at the unique but slightly weirdly aesthetic luxury piano in front of him and shook his head without hesitation.

The two of them continued to stroll through the shop, browsing various pianos.

Before long, Zhou Ying stopped in front of a sleek, pure black piano. "Excuse me, may I try playing this?"

"No problem, Miss Zhou. Please feel free to try it and see how the sound quality is," the attendant replied with a smile.

As Zhou Ying began to test play, the notes flowed out like a clear spring.

It didn't take long for her to find the ideal piano she had in mind.

"Wow, this one is really great! Not only is the touch excellent, but the tone is also pleasant and beautiful, far better than any other piano I've played before," Zhou Ying said, unable to hide her excitement.

"Miss Zhou, you truly have a keen eye! This piano is a limited edition treasure, with only two million units released worldwide. As for the price, it's three million RMB. Additionally, we provide..."

Just as the attendant was about to continue the introduction, two figures walked out of the piano concert hall.

If Jiang Cheng turned around now, he would be surprised to find that those two people were actually An Xin and Annie.

"Wow, Mommy, someone is playing the piano! And they're playing even better than me!" Annie shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, An Xin couldn't help but smile helplessly while pressing her hand to her forehead, saying, "Didn't you just say you played the best? Why are you admitting someone else is better now?"

"But I'm still a child, so of course I can't compare to adults!" Annie replied matter-of-factly.

Then, she pulled her mother's hand and walked quickly toward the melodious piano music.

After a moment, An Xin's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Unlike An Xin, Annie recognized Jiang Cheng at a glance. She immediately let go of her mother's hand and ran over like a cheerful little bird.

"Brother Jiang Cheng!"

Accompanied by a crisp, pleasant, and innocent shout, Jiang Cheng's heart trembled slightly, and a trace of imperceptible panic appeared on his face.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but subconsciously look at his Danger Perception System.

Since Annie had appeared, it meant An Xin should also be there.

Although things between him and An Xin hadn't developed to that extent yet.

But after going to the auction with Yu Xiaoxiao last time, Jiang Cheng could clearly feel that An Xin was very bothered by the fact that he had a girlfriend.

And An Xin's situation was even more complicated than Chen Xueer's.

No matter what, Chen Xueer was his subordinate, and her loyalty was 120 percent.

The chance of a 'crash' wasn't high.

But for An Xin and Zhou Ying, Jiang Cheng wasn't very confident.

He could only say that this time, the probability of a 'crash' was very high.

Although he was a bit flustered inside, Jiang Cheng appeared exceptionally calm on the outside.

Seeing Annie hugging his leg, he stroked her head and picked her up directly: "Annie, long time no see."

Even though Annie was a bit naughty usually, Jiang Cheng was very fond of this fair-skinned, green-eyed mixed-race Little Girl.

Zhou Ying, who had been focused on playing the piano nearby, also stopped her hands upon seeing this.

"Jiang Cheng, this is??"

"This is a friend's child."

Annie, held in Jiang Cheng's arms, looked at Zhou Ying and then at An Xin, who was slowly walking toward them.

Suddenly, she looked at Jiang Cheng with a mischievous glint in her eyes and asked, "Brother Jiang Cheng, why did you bring another new big sister here to play the piano??"

As soon as she finished, it felt as if three black lines had struck Jiang Cheng's head.

Before he even had the chance to test An Xin's attitude, Annie had already dealt him a heavy blow.

"Annie, don't talk nonsense. I'm telling you, children shouldn't watch too much TV or use phones too much, or they'll easily learn bad things."

Fortunately, Zhou Ying wasn't led astray by Annie's question. Instead, she stood up and looked at Annie with great affection: "little friend, you're so beautiful, just like a doll."
