"Boss, you're here!" As Zhou Chao and his group entered the banquet hall, they were greeted by the cruise's first officer, Lambo, who was responsible for receiving guests at the entrance.
"Is everything arranged?"
"Everything is already set up, please come this way," replied Lambo, leading them to the front row. Their arrival attracted many curious glances.
The Independence of the Seas had embarked from Europe, so most of the people on board were foreigners. The conspicuous faces of Zhou Chao's group, combined with their front-row seats, made them even more noticeable.
Onstage, a Steinway piano in black and white was placed, ready to become the center of attention.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit walked to the center of the stage. It was none other than Captain Bieber!
