Mysteries Unveiled: Footprints in the Shadows

Early the next morning, Yuan Shi couldn't wait to drag Li Hanshan together towards the competition venue.

Because it was a competition, in order to prevent the two companies from playing tricks, the competition venue this time was placed in a high-end cafe in Shanghai.

The two went all the way in Li Hanshan's red Volvo. Although the venue of the competition was less than ten kilometers away from where they lived, it took more than an hour to get there because of the traffic jam.

left bank coffee

It is a national chain of high-end coffee western restaurants. There is only one in the whole Shanghai market. They are all shipped directly from world-renowned piano manufacturers, so they also attract many famous pianists, who often play in the Western Restaurant of Left Bank Cafe.

It is precisely because of the performances of famous pianists that those in the upper class choose to come to the Left Bank Coffee Rest, so that they can reflect their identities.

When the two arrived at the coffee on the left bank, there were quite a few people gathered in the cafe at this time, some of them came here to drink coffee, and most of them heard that there were two piano shops competing here today. So I came here specially, intending to enjoy it.

After all, Changchun Piano Store is one of the best piano stores in Shanghai, and the performers who sit in it are also very famous pianists in Shanghai. Usually, pianists of this level can only be heard in concerts. Although they are stylish, there are too many people after all.

But at this time in the cafe, due to the small number of people and this style, of course you can enjoy an audio-visual feast!

The decoration of the cafe is very stylish. There are neat rows of orange-yellow sofa seats, black and silver marble bricks, and cross patterns on the brick surface. The cafe is surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the outside scenery can be seen from the cafe.

The whole gives a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

When the two walked in, a waiter in a black uniform led them to an unoccupied sofa seat, bowed with one hand behind the other and greeted them politely: "Two, May I ask what do you want?"

"Give me a cappuccino, thank you!" Li Hanshan said with a little restlessness.

"Give me a glass of lemonade!" Yuan Shi said with a smile.

He is not used to coffee.

"A cup of cappuccino, a cup of lemon juice, okay, please wait a moment!" The waiter nodded, put away the menu, and said again: "By the way, today's Shanghai Shi Changchun Piano Stop and Ziyang Piano Hall will discuss piano skills here, and there will be comments from many famous pianists, if you two are interested, you can listen to it!"

After saying this, the waiter smiled, then bowed and left.

After the waiter's figure completely disappeared in front of his eyes, Yuan Shi sighed to the distracted Li Hanshan next to him: "The life of the rich is really good!"

It can be seen from the polite behavior of the waiters in such a cafe alone.

Li Hanshan was still worried about the Ziyang piano hall at her father's house, so she was a little out of her mind. At this time, she was sitting on the seat, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, and hurried to greet her, "Dad!"

"It's little Han!" A sweaty middle-aged man turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was Li Hanshan, he walked over with a forced smile on his face, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said : "little Han, have you found a famous pianist to help us?"

"Dad, Changchun Piano Company is really despicable. They used despicable means to win over all the famous pianists in Shanghai, and the rest of them are not the pianist's opponents in Changchun Piano Company, so until now I I couldn't find any!" Li Hanshan said angrily.

"Hey! What can we do now! The competition will start later, if we fail to find a famous pianist, the status of our Ziyang Piano Museum in Shanghai will plummet!" Hearing Li Hanshan's words , the middle-aged man said with a sad face.

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man looked at Yuan Shi again, was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Who is this?"

"Dad, this is my friend, Yuan Shi!" Li Hanshan introduced.

"Hello Uncle!" Yuan Shi greeted with a smile.

"Yeah!" Li Hanshan's father nodded sadly, and then said: "little han, you can play with your friends here first, and then I will contact some old friends from the past, I don't believe it Not even a famous pianist is willing to make a move!"

As Li Hanshan's father said, he took out his mobile phone, sweating profusely, walked to a secluded place and started making calls.

Looking at his father's actions, Li Hanshan felt very uncomfortable on his face: "I'm so mad! Those so-called famous pianists usually called my father brothers and brothers when they were free, but they didn't expect to be unwilling to make a move at a critical moment. If I, Uncle Chen, It's fine here, he's definitely not afraid of Changchun Piano Shop, it's a pity that he was attending a concert abroad and couldn't come back..."

Just when Li Hanshan said this, a young man dressed in fancy clothes came over, looked at Li Hanshan with a frivolous face, scrutinized him unscrupulously, and said: "Li Hanshan, I said that I will make you regret it! How about it? Do you want to reconsider? As long as you promise to be my girlfriend, I will ask my father to stop this competition!"

Looking at this man, Li Hanshan said with a look of disgust: "Pu Xunya , you are so despicable! You actually used such low-handed methods!"

"How can this be called low work? We are just competing in the piano world!" Pu Xunya said with a proud face. There is also a hint of greed in the eyes looking at Li Hanshan: "Li Hanshan, you still have one last chance, as long as you nod and agree, my father will stop immediately!"

"I'm telling you, Pu Xunya , you should die! I will never agree to be your girlfriend!" Li Hanshan trembled angrily, and said angrily.

Hearing Li Hanshan's refusal without hesitation, Pu Xunya 's complacent face turned livid, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes, and he said harshly: "Li Hanshan, don't give a toast or fine wine, since you don't agree, then you Just wait for your father's piano hall to go bankrupt! Then I want you to kneel down and beg me!"

"You..." Li Hanshan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yuan Shi. Yuan Shi looked at Pu Xunya indifferently, pretending to be surprised and said, "Where is this simp? Yelling and trying to hook up with Li Hanshan? Waiter, waiter, hurry up and him get out!"

"Who are you?" Hearing Yuan Shi's words, Pu Xunya realized that there was another person standing beside Li Hanshan. He was taken aback for a moment, and then asked.

"You don't change your name when you go down, you don't change your surname when you sit down, your surname is Dad, your name is Dad!"

"Daddy?" Hearing this name, Pu Xunya murmured, with a puzzled look in his eyes, is there a Daddy? among the hundreds of surnames?[1]

And at this moment, Li Hanshan, who had an angry expression on his face, suddenly laughed when he heard Pu Xunya repeat it.

Only then did Pu Xunya come to his senses, and an angry look appeared on his face: "Stinky boy, you dare to play tricks on me, believe it or not, I will make you unable to get along in this Shanghai stock market exchange!"
