Transmigration of the Famous Cyberstar (1)

Chapter 146: The Performance Begins

Li Xiaoru's voice wasn't that loud, and the environment was noisy.

However, strangely, everyone suddenly went silent, and all looked towards Li Xiaoru and Liu Man, who was half a step behind.

The backstage manager stared at Liu Man for quite a while, too, with a subtle expression. He said, "I thought you gave up, and I've already had the third group take your place. Since you're here on time, then we will use the original sequence."

He announced this news to the leader of the third group in a loud voice, and the students in that group didn't mind this arrangement.

The backstage manager then called the other behind-the-scenes staff as he scrolled through the original contents of the program list, "Yes, yes, yes. After the quintet, prepare two grand pianos and a table for Guzhen..."

The backstage manager then asked Liu Man and Li Xiaoru, "Where's your Guzhen?"

"Here," Yu Zhan walked up and stood the Guqin, still inside the bag, on the ground.

"Oh, okay. Put it here for now."

Guzhen and Guqin tables were the same, and Yu Zhan didn't know much about the folksong instruments. He thought he was holding a Guzhen.

"Where's the other performer?" The backstage manager read the name on the programs list out loud, "Where is Wen Fangfei from the 1st class of Guzhen major?"

Liu Man said honestly, "She's not coming; it's just the two of us performing."

Someone started whispering, and someone laughed out loud.

The backstage manager felt weird and thought Liu Man was here to be funny, "Your piece is a trio. How do you plan on playing it with only two people? And you even want me to put all three instruments on stage," He reminded them out of kindness, "Since you are one person short, then give up. If you don't pass, you can try again next time. Don't think you can do it when you can't, or else you will make a joke out of yourselves on stage later. This performance is different from the other ones, where students only play to have fun. The seats are also all full, and your actions will be filmed and posted onto the internet."

The backstage manager had a good intention and was thinking for the students to mention the word "internet." Hanfu Goddess's reputation on the internet was already bad enough. If she made another scene at the concert today, not only would she become a complete joke, but she would also never be able to lift her head on campus. Even the school headmaster might notice her, and her future would be over.

"Thank you," Liu Man showed appreciation to the backstage manager, "Please trust us. We really can pull this trio off."

"Wow, she's making such a big claim that she cannot even prove. I'm impressed."

Other performers started mocking Liu Man and Li Xiaoru, whispering:

"How will two girls from the piano major play the Guzhen? As if they are playing on cotton products?"

"Hahahaha, that's possible. Playing on cotton products like they are playing chords; that's a trendy idea."

TL's Note: Basically, by saying they would by playing on cotton products, the other performers are suggesting their skills would suck.

"Is her brain broken or something? Someone like her can steal Tang Tu away from Shen Mozhen? Tang Tu must be blind, and Shen Mozhen must be disgusted."

"I guess she's intentionally trying to make Shen Mozhen disgusted to perform Guzhen on stage, the instrument Shen Mozhen is the best at."

"Guys, stop. I think Liu Man has gone crazy from all the exposure online. Don't stimulate her anymore."
