South River University,
More than ten thousand students had gathered on the field in an orderly fashion.
The Labor Day talent show was starting soon.
Firstly, the chancellor of the university gave a speech.
Then, the students started their performance,
All kinds of performances ranging from singing, dancing, skits, stand-ups, and magic shows were being presented on stage
However, David was not watching the performance on the stage at this moment.
Instead, his teacher called him back to the classroom. Of course, he was not the only one receiving this treatment. Everyone in the class was called back.
Everyone was a little confused.
The teacher spoke at this moment.
“There’s an emergency. Since Ava is sick, she can’t go on stage. Who among you knows how to play the piano? Please replace her. You don’t need to be good, you just need to deal with it.”
Everyone turned their gazes to Ava.
Indeed, Ava’s originally rosy cheeks were now very pale.
After waiting for a while, she continued when no one volunteered, “If anyone accepts this task, I’ll approve their leaves in the future, no matter what the reason.”.
When the teacher said that, some of them were moved, but playing the piano was something delicate. No one would be able to perform on stage after only learning it for a few days.
David was moved too. He wanted to accept this task so it would be easier for him to request leave in the future.
With that, he added some lavish points to add ‘piano skills’ on the skills column. After that, he added 10 lavish points to improve his piano skills from novice to expert.
Soon, David felt an abundance of knowledge rushing into his brain. When David was confident, he stood up and said, “Teacher, let me try!” Every one of the students looked at David with looks of disbelief on their faces, including the other three musketeers, Ava, and the teacher.
“David knows how to play the piano?’
‘Stop joking.
Throughout his university days, whenever there was a break, he’d work part-time or apply for part-time jobs. How would he have the time to learn to play the piano?
“Do you know how?” The teacher asked after hesitating.
“Yes, I learned it when I worked as a part-timer.”
“Can you play a complete song?” The teacher asked again.
“Of course!”
“Alright then. Since no one else is volunteering, you should give it a try. Remember, take it easy and don’t make any mistakes.”
At this moment, Dean stood up and said with a pained look on his face, “Teacher, I don’t feel well either. We should just let David go solo.”
He did not want to embarrass himself with David!
He would not believe that a pauper like David would know how to play the piano no matter what.
Wouldn’t it be better to get himself out of this early on and sit below the stage to watch David make a fool of himself?
When the students in the class saw Dean pretending to look like he was in pain, they wanted to laugh.
Naturally, the teacher saw this too. However, she did not expose Dean. Instead, she asked David, “David, can you do this alone?”
“Of course!” David replied.
He did not want Dean to go on stage with him anyway. It was meaningless to work with a man.
However, he felt that it was a bit boring to just play the piano. So, he spent another 30 lavish points to upgrade his lyric writing, song composition, and singing skills to expert.
Now, he was ready.
The matter was settled so everyone went back to the field to watch the show.
Meanwhile, David was standing backstage waiting for his turn.

Tara’s grandmother’s house.
“Mom, dad, I have a friend who’s the young master of the Golden Leaf Hotel. You should know that hotel, right? It’s an 8-star hotel and it’s also the most high-end and luxurious hotel in the South River Province. That place is worth a lot of money. If he is willing to help us, we’ll be able to make it through this crisis.”
Tara was trying hard to calm her parents down. As long as there was hope, they would not give up.
When Ken Smith heard what his daughter said, he finally turned around and looked at Tara and her mother with eyes that no longer looked lifeless.
As someone who was from the South River Province who was also a big boss who used to have a net worth of hundreds of millions, of course he would know about the Golden Leaf Hotel. He even met a very important client there before.
The market value of the hotel was at least 15 billion now. If it was just as his daughter said, this might just help him get through this difficult time.
If he could pay back the money owed to the loan sharks and banks and lift the prohibition on his company, he would be able to make a comeback with his ability.
If this was possible, why would he want to give up on his happy family?
“Really?” Ken asked with a hoarse voice,
This was the first thing he said in two days.
“Really! Really!” When Tara saw that her father was finally talking, she said after wiping her tears.
When Laura saw that her husband was finally talking, she let out a sigh of relief as well.
“However, even if he has this ability, why would he help us? You’re only his classmate. We need about 100 million, can you really get him to lend you this money?” Ken asked.
100 million?
When Tara heard this number, she was even more shocked.
