Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2147 - 1636: He Doesn’t Count as the Winner!
Cooper was fully confident just now, performing a high-speed rendition of "Flight of the Bumblebee" in front of everyone, intending to show off his skills and leave Bai Xiaosheng utterly defeated.
In the end, Bai Xiaosheng emulated "Flight of the Bumblebee" using beatboxing, not only syncing with the melody but also making everyone present believe a swarm of bees had arrived, causing a panic.
The difference in skill was apparent.
Nonetheless, Cooper felt extremely unwilling in his heart.
Bai Xiaosheng even asked him to continue challenging, suggesting he make it harder, which made Cooper almost spew blood in frustration.
The most maddening part was that Bai Xiaosheng showed no hint of pride or arrogance on his face, as if his beatboxing was nothing to boast about.
His subtle flair was the most lethal, making Cooper grit his teeth in hatred.
Bai Yuefeng saw this and wished she could applaud. Yet, she had to restrain herself and maintain her graceful appearance.
Bai Yuefeng merely smiled broadly and secretly muttered, "I never knew Bai Xiaosheng was so skilled at beatboxing, it’s truly splendid. It’s a pity I didn’t record it. Oh well, I’ll definitely ask him to teach me later!"
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also exchanged smiles.
They had heard Bai Xiaosheng whistle and perform beatboxing during leisurely moments when everyone was relaxing.
What they didn’t expect was that Bai Xiaosheng chose to defeat Cooper with beatboxing rather than suppress him with musical performance.
Unexpected, yet brilliant!
Even York couldn’t resist showing excitement in his eyes, saying to Lin Weiwei, "Your friend is amazing. Has he ever thought of entering the entertainment industry? I can introduce him to some friends. With so many celebrities present, I bet they also want to collaborate with him. Look, that person, and that one, they’re all whispering to their assistants, pointing at your friend. I bet they all want to work with him."
To this, Lin Weiwei smiled slyly.
Those people really have wishful thinking!
Collaborate with the business president of Zhenbei Group? Bai Xiaosheng’s wealth could buy out their contracts for decades.
Just as everyone was praising Bai Xiaosheng, suddenly someone shouted, a voice particularly discordant!
"I don’t think this counts as a win!"
This sharp voice made everyone suddenly pause and look over.
Bai Yuefeng was also stunned, looking beside her.
It was none other than Jessica who spoke.
Bai Xiaosheng’s much-discussed beatboxing was not appreciated by her. Instead, she furrowed her brows deeply.
In her heart, Cooper was perfect, and his performance of "Flight of the Bumblebee" reached a concert-level standard, to be outdone by mere whistling? She didn’t agree!
Cooper looked at Jessica, surprised, yet hope flared in his eyes.
Of course, he was unwilling, feeling they were at most tied, not defeated.
However, he couldn’t publicly declare he didn’t lose; that would make him appear ungentlemanly, especially when everyone else acknowledged Bai Xiaosheng’s beatboxing. Stubbornly refusing to accept defeat would appear ungentlemanly.
Hence, at this moment, he needed someone to stand up and lead the debate.
He didn’t expect it would be Jessica.
Bai Xiaosheng looked calmly at Jessica.
Bai Yuefeng couldn’t help but say, "Jessica, what are you saying? How is it that Bai hasn’t won! Using beatboxing to simulate ’Flight of the Bumblebee’ and making it indistinguishable from the real thing, I think he’s the superior one!"
Bai Yuefeng was quite unhappy with her best friend.
She didn’t believe Jessica was unaware of today’s events yet said nothing, leaving her in a passive situation, pretending it was all for her good—she didn’t like it at all.
Now, Jessica was speaking up again, denying Bai Xiaosheng’s victory, making her even angrier.
Facing the puzzled gazes of others and Bai Yuefeng’s questioning, Jessica pointed directly at Bai Xiaosheng and sharply said, "Earlier, Cooper mentioned that he should find an instrument among those available in the venue to perform the piece, reaching Cooper’s level with about thirty to forty percent, only then counts as winning!"
"But what did he do? Whistling doesn’t count as instrument performance!" Jessica sneered, "In elegant occasions, can whistling replace musical instruments? Absurd!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Jessica’s words immediately stirred up the crowd.
"Yes, the bet was about instrument performance, not using beatboxing!"
"Exactly, I didn’t react in time, it was indeed meant to be an instrument challenge!"
"Yeah, that makes sense, Mr. Cooper didn’t lose, so he... indeed didn’t win either!"
The crowd was abuzz, and the group’s attitude quickly shifted.
Whether it was Bai Yuefeng, Lin Weiwei, or Lei Ying, they all frowned at the surrounding people.
These were guests invited by Cooper, naturally biased towards him. Though they were initially impressed by Bai Xiaosheng’s skills, upon reflection, they began making excuses for Cooper.
Bai Yuefeng felt like scolding everyone, scolding Jessica.
Cooper intentionally asked an experienced musician, "What do you think?"
The musician’s face showed some embarrassment but had to admit, "According to the agreement, indeed, that gentleman should have competed in instruments."
Even that renowned musician believed so, prompting Cooper to smile broadly. He looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said loudly, "Sorry, friend, if that’s what everyone thinks, then perhaps you didn’t truly win..."
As he spoke, Cooper noticed Bai Xiaosheng striding towards him, moving with speed, expressionless.
Cooper’s smile froze slightly, becoming cautious.
He thought Bai Xiaosheng was dissatisfied and was coming to argue, maybe even planning to fight.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng approached closely and merely smiled before sitting down at the piano in front of them as Cooper cautiously stepped back.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the guests who had just echoed each other, then looked at Jessica.
"You want to hear instrument performance? No problem." Bai Xiaosheng smiled at them, not even looking at the piano keys, his hands lightly dancing on them.
A lively rendition of "Flight of the Bumblebee" instantly resounded.
Clearly faster and smoother than Cooper’s, and Bai Xiaosheng never once looked at the piano keys throughout.
The sensation of "bumblebees swirling around" reappeared in everyone’s mind.
This piece came alive!
The musician looked at Bai Xiaosheng in surprise, raising his hand as if to applaud but hesitated, afraid of disturbing Bai Xiaosheng.
This had already perfectly surpassed Cooper!
Beside him, Cooper’s complexion changed dramatically, looking at Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief.
How... how could he play better than himself!
Over there, Jessica was speechless, unable to utter a word.
The surrounding guests were the same.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying chuckled coldly.
These people...
Why not just admit defeat gracefully, rather than losing so thoroughly!
York stupidly watched Bai Xiaosheng, muttering one sentence, "Your friend is truly amazing!"
Bai Xiaosheng played a segment, stood up, walked to the side, and took a flute from a stunned musician, performing another segment, clearly a flute yet transformed into a piano version of "Flight of the Bumblebee"!
But it didn’t end there, Bai Xiaosheng acquired a violin...
After several performances, Bai Xiaosheng put down the instruments and smiled at Cooper, saying, "Mr. Cooper, do you find this sufficient?"
This statement carried no sarcasm, yet it was incredibly ironic.
Cooper began hating Jessica, wondering why she had to speak!
Under everyone’s gaze, Cooper’s face turned unpleasant, yet he forced a smile, "Enough!"
"I admit, this time... you won!"
