The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 642 - Chapter 642 0632 Award Ceremony

Chapter 642: 0632 Award Ceremony Chapter 642: 0632 Award Ceremony “Zhou Yousheng, Elder Zhou? The national treasure-level piano master?”

“The recipient of the highest honor in the piano world, rumored to have performances that money can’t buy, only attending state banquets and significant international competitions for Hua Country, earning countless awards, then gradually retiring, and becoming someone whom no one could coax out of retirement again–that Elder Zhou?”

“Ever since Elder Zhou officially retired, he has never been seen at any public event. I can’t believe he’s actually here in person.”

“But isn’t Elder Zhou someone from the music industry? Why would he come to the Design Circle’s award ceremony?”

“Didn’t you just hear? Elder Zhou is here for his disciple.”

“So…”

“…”

“…”

“Hiss…”

Everyone suddenly gasped, staring dumbfounded at Su Ran standing beside Elder Zhou.

“So, Su Ran is Elder Zhou’s disciple?”

“When did Elder Zhou take a disciple? I’ve never heard of it!”

“Yeah, so many princes and princesses of royal families have been rejected when they wished to become disciples under Elder Zhou, and now he’s taken an unknown little person.”

“Why can’t such good fortune ever happen to me?”

For a moment, no one knew whether to envy Su Ran or be jealous of her!

Weng Manyuan was also shocked when she learned about the old man’s identity.

Even though she didn’t pay much attention to things in the music industry, Zhou Yousheng’s name was as familiar to her as thunder!

She just didn’t expect that Su Ran would be his disciple!

At this moment, Su Xinyan’s eyes were filled with barely concealed, towering hatred, and her entire body trembled with anger.

Damn it!

Why?

Why, exactly?

She had thought that by bringing in Song Guan, Su Ran could be disqualified from the competition, and yet this wretched woman somehow knew the chairman of the organizers.

Weng Manyuan stepped in to pin the reputation of plagiarism on her again, but out of nowhere, a master appeared.

Who is Zhou Yousheng?

The pinnacle of the piano world, an existence that no one can surpass.

In the past, the Su Family and Gu Family had tried countless ways to become his disciples, but they hadn’t even managed to meet him in person.

No wonder she had always felt that the old man looked familiar!

Zhou Yousheng, he was actually Zhou Yousheng!

Su Ran was actually his disciple?

Why should that wretched woman?!

After Elder Zhou finished speaking with Gael, his gaze fell upon Weng Manyuan.

Seeing this, Weng Manyuan hurriedly approached with respectful deference.

“Elder Zhou.”

In Hua Country, great respect is always shown for teachers, especially for a national treasure like Zhou Yousheng, who deserves everyone’s respect and admiration.

Elder Zhou looked at her with a faint smile, “Just now, from what the young friend said, your disciple wouldn’t do something like plagiarism? Would my disciple, Zhou Yousheng, do it?”

Weng Manyuan’s face stiffened, and the scene suddenly became somewhat awkward.

And Wen Peipei, Su Xinyan, Gu Heng, when they heard what Elder Zhou said, their expressions changed dramatically!

Zhou Yousheng’s disciple, accused of plagiarism?

That accusation would be kicked to the curb wherever it was uttered!

As the CEO of Chongguang, he certainly knew Zhou Yousheng.

That name, it’s the cornerstone of the music industry!

Xinyan once made so many efforts to become his disciple, and he had seen it all.

But now, why had everything derailed?

And all of it seemed to be related to Xiao Ran.

Thinking about what Su Ran had said to him, Gu Heng sudden felt a rush of panic.

Wen Peipei was just as flustered, the idea of Xinyan plagiarizing Su Ran’s work was completely unfounded.

But now with so many people on Su Ran’s side, and Zhou Yousheng’s endorsement, Xinyan could very well be branded a plagiarist.

With this thought, Wen Peipei hurried forward:

“Elder Zhou…”

Elder Zhou raised his hand to interrupt what she was about to say next.

“I am not one to be deceived by appearances or to contribute to injustice, unable to distinguish right from wrong. Since both parties are sticking to their claims, the truth will come out after the awards ceremony concludes, and further discussion is pointless!”

Weng Manyuan’s heart tightened upon hearing this!

Su Xinyan’s head buzzed, and at that moment, the host suddenly came out from backstage and announced–

“Ladies and gentlemen, the 57th World Designer Competition award ceremony has officially begun. Thank you for your attendance. On behalf of Queen Nefertiti and the organizers, I would like to extend gratitude to all of you for being here, thank you…”

As the host finished speaking, the hall immediately erupted with excited shouting, and the lights dimmed in tandem.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the stage, no longer concerned with the “drama” happening here.

Waiters in suits and flowing skirts weaved through the crowd, Su Ran raised her eyebrows and also turned her gaze to the stage.

Su Xinyan, however, let out a heavy sigh of relief.

She had just been truly worried that Elder Zhou’s influence would lead to her being tagged with the label of “plagiarist.”

But now, there was no chance of that happening!

Once she won the championship at the World Designer Competition, everything would be set in stone. If she wanted to crush Su Ran, it would be as easy as flipping her hand!

So what if Su Ran acknowledged Elder Zhou as her mentor?

After all, Elder Zhou was from the music industry and wouldn’t interfere in the Design Circle. When the time came to deal with Su Ran, it would still be she who called the shots!

As long as she could safely get through tonight’s award ceremony!

On the stage, the host had finished an impassioned opening speech.

“I truly appreciate everyone’s presence, and at the same time, I’d like to thank the owners of this castle, Queen Nefertiti and Princess Avril.

Tonight, we are able to hold the award ceremony in this castle thanks to Princess Avril personally proposing it to Queen Nefertiti, and then giving us a surprise for one of the contestants…”

Before the host could finish, the audience below had already started screaming frantically.

“What? Princess Avril proposed to Queen Nefertiti? No wonder!”

“But whose influence is so great that Princess Avril would prepare a surprise for her?”

“Is it Heart? It must be her!”

“Could it be Lydia?”

“Or Gloria…”

The grand hall was filled with the sound of the crowd’s speculations!

The host came out to control the scene and then continued with a smile:

“The surprise will be revealed at the last moment. Next, let’s introduce the organizers of this competition, as well as the most authoritative and impartial judges from around the world. Please give them a round of applause as they take the stage…”

What followed was the introduction and speeches of Gael and other leaders from the organizers, as well as judges like Edward.

The atmosphere was livelier than ever, and after a round of applause, even the host holding the microphone sounded a bit excited, her voice quivering slightly.

“And now for the highlight of tonight, the main event everyone’s been waiting for. Everyone here has a designer they extremely adore and admire – adores their design and admires their character. Tonight is our night to chase stars, our night to fulfill dreams. All that you wish for is not just a fantasy; the person you wish to see will eventually appear…

So tell me loudly, who do you most want to see? And who is your champion in your heart?”

“Lydia, Lydia!”

“Katelin, Katelin!”

“Heart, Heart!”

“R…”
