Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1516 - 1490: I’ll Figure Out a Solution

Seeing Xie Yingying still wanting to talk to Ye Chen, Liu Tingting hurriedly stopped her.

"Yingying, we’re about to go on stage. If you have anything to say, wait until after we finish our performance."

Xie Yingying glared at her best friend with beautiful eyes; she felt that today Liu Tingting was clearly being intentional.

"Yingying, you should go quickly."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

Just as Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting and others planned to run towards the stage.

Suddenly, a person came rushing over.

"Oh no, the person playing the piano is stuck in traffic and won’t be able to make it in time."

"Ah, why did you only say this now?"

Liu Tingting said with an unhappy face.

"I also just received the notification; if I’d known earlier, we could have come up with a solution."

The person said with an innocent face.

"Yeah, we’re the first to go on stage. What should we do? Where can we find someone who can play the piano?"

Xie Yingying also furrowed her brows.

She never dreamed that when they went on stage, such a problem would occur.

"Without someone playing the piano, do you have to change the program?"

"How can we change it? Time is so tight, and our program requires someone to play the piano."

Liu Tingting opened her mouth to refute.

"What should we do then?"

Not only Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting, but others also furrowed their brows tightly.

"Is there anyone here who can play the piano?"

Liu Tingting seemed to think of something and asked.

Hearing no response, Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting felt deflated like a balloon.

"Tingting, what do we do? Without someone playing the piano, there’s no way to perform our program."

Xie Yingying sighed and said.

Originally, she wasn’t the type who liked to be in the limelight. The reason she wanted to go on stage this time was to show Ye Chen a different side of herself.

If there’s no one playing the piano, it means the performance can’t continue, and Ye Chen won’t be able to see Xie Yingying’s highlight moment.

"I can’t think of anything right now; it’s really frustrating."

Liu Tingting furrowed her brows and said.

Although she usually had many ideas, it was hard to cook a meal without rice.

This situation also stumped her.

"The host has already started announcing, so quickly get on stage."

The person who ran over to deliver the news said with a nervous expression.

"There’s no piano accompaniment, what’s the point of us going on stage? Are we going to embarrass ourselves?"

Liu Tingting said.

Indeed, as she said, without piano accompaniment, going on stage was pointless.

Ye Chen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"Yingying, Tingting, you go on stage first; I’ll come up with something."

"You, where are you from?"

The man delivering the news looked at Ye Chen, who was wearing delivery clothes, and asked.

Ye Chen didn’t pay any attention to the man.

This made the man a bit angry.

"I asked you a question; why aren’t you answering?"

Hearing the man speak like this to Ye Chen, Xie Yingying was also a bit angry.

"He’s my cousin; is there a problem?"

"Your cousin?"

The man looked at Ye Chen and then at Xie Yingying, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"So what if he’s your cousin; he can’t cause trouble here, and how did you get in?"

"You’re really something; is this the time to discuss such questions? The key is to solve the issue of missing piano accompaniment."

Xie Yingying said with irritation to the man.

"Alright then, since it’s like this, I just want to ask this gentleman, since you say you can come up with something, do you happen to play the piano?"

"Of course not."

Ye Chen shook his head and said.

"If you don’t, then why are you causing trouble here?"

The man said without kindness.

"Not being able to play the piano doesn’t mean we can’t solve the problem."

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Alright, let’s not waste time here; if we don’t go on stage now, there’ll be no room for recovery."

Seeing everyone hesitating and seemingly unwilling to go on stage.

Ye Chen spoke up.

"Please get on stage; I assure you, you won’t be disappointed."

"I trust Brother Ye Chen; let’s all go on stage."

"I trust my brother too."

Seeing Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting’s confidence in Ye Chen, the two of them also walked towards the stage.

Others followed them onto the stage.

What happened backstage was all observed by Lin Shiyin.

She was also very curious about this situation, wondering how Ye Chen would resolve it.

Seeing the performers all on stage, Ye Chen also followed them.

He didn’t rush onto the stage but instead found the lighting technician.

"Excuse me, could you avoid shining the light on the piano position?"

"Why?"

The lighting technician looked puzzled at Ye Chen before him and asked.

"Oh, well, the school’s invited pianist couldn’t come due to special reasons, so I’m filling in at the last minute. If others find out, it might cause issues."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s explanation, the lighting technician suddenly understood.

However, he sized Ye Chen up, seeing him wearing delivery clothes, and still felt skeptical.

"Are you sure you can play the piano?"

"I guess so."

The lighting technician’s mouth twitched; if anything went wrong in this situation, it would be really embarrassing.

The dean’s nose might end up being bent with anger.

But these matters were not what the lighting technician needed to consider.

"Okay, got it. Good luck then."

The lighting technician silently prayed for Ye Chen as he watched him walk towards the stage.

After Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting went on stage, their expressions were also very unnatural.

Without piano music, they couldn’t dance.

Because they had rehearsed many times before, trying to find accompaniment now was impossible.

Just as they thought they were about to be embarrassed, the piano music suddenly started playing.

Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting’s faces showed disbelief.

Weren’t they told the pianist was stuck in traffic; how had they arrived here?

There was no time to think further; everyone on stage started performing Swan Lake as rehearsed.

The piano music together with the graceful dance brought a refreshing feeling.

The program was a great success.

Those backstage were surprised to hear the melodious piano music.

Just a moment ago, many had heard the pianist was stuck in traffic, so where was this piano music coming from?

Among these people, the most surprised was Lin Shiyin, who stood in the corner the whole time.

Earlier, when she heard Ye Chen comforting the two schoolmates, saying he would think of a way and asking them to hurry on stage, she already had doubts.

She wondered how this man would resolve the situation.

Seeing everyone on stage, Ye Chen also followed behind, and she formed a certain idea in her mind.
