Night.

Wang Haoran listened to the commotion on Qiu Qianwei's end.

The sound of crying in the earphones continued for almost half an hour without any sign of stopping.

It wasn't until Lin Chen suddenly came to find her that Qiu Qianwei forcibly stopped herself from crying.

Lin Chen noticed Qiu Qianwei's abnormality and hurriedly asked about it.

But Qiu Qianwei lied, saying she was feeling sad because she was worried about not winning the Supreme Gold Award at the Glory Arts Festival, which made her unable to control her tears.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen didn't inquire further.

Immediately, he took out a piano piece he had composed during his seclusion and asked Qiu Qianwei to perform it at the Glory Arts Festival.

Upon hearing this, Wang Haoran couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Similar thoughts crossed his mind, but they were quickly dismissed.

He also could compose supreme-level music, but it was unlikely that he could create a piece surpassing what Qiu Qianwei had polished for nearly half a year in just a few days.

And even if he had inspiration and created something, would Qiu Qianwei use it?

Although they didn't interact much, Wang Haoran could tell that Qiu Qianwei was very dedicated to music. She only wanted to achieve her dreams through her own abilities.

Sure enough, Qiu Qianwei directly rejected Lin Chen's proposal after hearing it.

No matter how hard Lin Chen tried to persuade her, Qiu Qianwei remained firm in her decision.

...

The next day.

The Global Glory Arts Festival has officially begun.

Wang Haoran and the others could only learn about the festival through real-time reports because it was not open to the public.

Only those with great achievements and reputation in the field of art were qualified to attend.

"Big brother, did you deal with my sister's opponents?" Lin Chen eagerly inquired.

"I had a problem."

"That means it didn't work."

Wang Haoran nodded.

Lin Chen felt regretful, and with some sarcasm, he said, "Well, it seems like you and my sister are not meant to be."

"Hehe." Wang Haoran chuckled but didn't say anything.

The festival started at nine in the morning and ended at four in the afternoon.

Through television reports, the winners of various artistic projects were announced.

Qiu Qianwei won the Supreme Gold Award in the music category of the Global Glory Arts Festival with her composition "Tragic Love."

Under various media coverage, Qiu Qianwei stepped on stage to receive the award from the ambassador and his wife. She then delivered her acceptance speech.

Her speech was short yet thought-provoking, consisting of only eight words: "Thanks to the scumbag who hurt me."

"What's going on? Who hurt my sister?" Lin Chen couldn't believe it.

"It's me," Wang Haoran said.

"Don't joke around. My sister has only known you for a short time," Lin Chen said disdainfully.

"Then ask her when she comes back," Wang Haoran said jokingly, wanting to play with Lin Chen's mindset.

"I don't believe it." Lin Chen snorted.

At five in the afternoon, the Global Glory Arts Festival ended.

Wang Haoran and the others waited at the hotel to welcome Qiu Qianwei's return, but only one female assistant returned.

The assistant said that Qiu Qianwei and another assistant had boarded a private plane and returned to the country.

Wang Haoran couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It seemed that Qiu Qianwei was deeply hurt, so she didn't even want to see him...

With only one private plane, and Qiu Qianwei leaving, Wang Haoran and the others could only buy tickets to return home.

However, tickets for the next few days were a bit limited, so two days later, Wang Haoran, Lin Chen, Cui Xiao, and the female assistant boarded the plane and began their journey home.

During these two days, the major media outlets in Yan Country were dominated by headlines about Qiu Qianwei winning the Supreme Gold Award at the Global Glory Arts Festival.

The Supreme Gold Award in the music category of the Global Glory Arts Festival was one of the most prestigious awards in the global music industry today. It represented the highest honor.

Before Qiu Qianwei, no one from Yan Country had ever won this award at the Global Glory Arts Festival.

And because of this award, Qiu Qianwei became one of the greatest pianists in the world today, and her name lived on.

In her 20s, she had reached the pinnacle of her career.

Becoming famous at a young age and acclaimed worldwide, there was nothing more than this.

Countless media outlets wanted to interview Qiu Qianwei, but couldn't reach her.

As a result, the public and many media outlets speculated about the reasons.

Qiu Qianwei's acceptance speech in the foreign media was dug up.

"Thanks to the scumbag who hurt me."

Because of this sentence, an uproar erupted throughout the internet.

Fans dug up all the men who interacted with Qiu Qianwei.

Eventually, everyone's attention focused on one person—the "Piano God"!

This "Piano God" had the most interactions with Qiu Qianwei in public and was the most likely male figure to be favored by her.

After all, his performance at that concert was too dazzling.

Moreover, in the concert footage, netizens captured Qiu Qianwei looking at the "Piano God" several times.

There was something off about Qiu Qianwei's gaze.

It was clearly a look of affection.

With this evidence, it was almost certain that the scumbag was the "Piano God."

For a while, Qiu Qianwei's fans flooded the "Piano God's" account on the music platform with private messages, comments, etc., cursing him relentlessly.

Many of the "Piano God's" fans turned from fans to haters and joined in the criticism.

The remaining loyal fans of the "Piano God" chose to believe in him and fought back against those attackers.

However, the wave of Qiu Qianwei's fans who occupied major media headlines for two days was too overwhelming.

The few loyal fans of the "Piano God" couldn't withstand the pressure, and their defense of him was drowned out by public opinion.

Even more so, some of Qiu Qianwei's more fanatical fans crowdfunded five million to offer a bounty online, wanting to buy the ‘Piano God's' third leg.
