Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”Miss Xu, the contract has been drafted. Please take a look, and if there are no issues, we’ll go ahead and sign it.”

”Okay.”

After signing the contract with Bingfeng Entertainment, Xu Xingguang drove alone to the music store to find Boss Qin and asked him to help connect with Teacher Kali, who was far away in another country.

Boss Qin didn’t ask why Xu Xingguang wanted to contact Teacher Kali; he just smiled and said, ”Teacher Kali has long wanted to meet you. I was just worried about how to bring it up.”

Without hesitation, Boss Qin directly sent Teacher Kali’s email and phone number to Xu Xingguang.

Xu Xingguang first sent an email to Teacher Kali, explaining her identity and purpose. The next day, she received a call from Teacher Kali.

Teacher Kali said that he was not well enough to travel abroad, so he invited Xu Xingguang to visit him in his country to meet.

He wanted to witness firsthand the extraordinary woman who gave voice back to Jian Jia.

Xu Xingguang also held great admiration for Master Kaley and gladly accepted Teacher Kali’s invitation. After entrusting Huo Wuyi to Sister Linlin, Xu Xingguang boarded a flight to a foreign land.

Teacher Kali’s assistant drove to the airport to pick up Xu Xingguang.

Teacher Kali lived in a villa built in the countryside of F Country, with a vast vineyard below. When Xu Xingguang arrived at the villa, Master Kaley was teaching the worker’s young daughter to play the piano.

The over-sixty-year-old piano master dressed very casually, with shoulder-length snow-white hair, adding a touch of romantic elegance to his demeanor.

Only after a piano piece was finished did Master Kaley turn around to look behind him.

Today, Xu Xingguang wore a light blue tea dress, her curly hair tied high, her lightly made-up face was flawless, giving off a sense of youthful beauty and infinite charm.

Teacher Kali stared at her for a while before exclaiming in disbelief, ”My goodness, you are unexpectedly young.”

Xu Xingguang raised an eyebrow and said, ”The year Master Kaley became famous worldwide, he was only 12 years old. Compared to you, I’m practically a big child.”

Hearing this, Master Kaley laughed heartily. ”I know what you’re here for; you want me to recommend your piano album. But Xingguang, the only thing that can persuade me is your work.”

Xu Xingguang nodded and said, ”Then, please give me a chance to persuade you, Master Kaley.”

”Good, confident!” Master Kaley, ever the gentleman, led Xu Xingguang into the house and headed straight to his practice room.

In the practice room, there was an antique piano.

Kaley told Xu Xingguang, ”This is my beloved piano, it’s called Lorrie. It was made one hundred and fifty years ago by the then piano master Komodo. It has been with me for over fifty years.”

Teacher Kali stroked his beloved piano and smilingly told Xu Xingguang, ”I have a disciple who has long coveted this piano. Oh, by the way, he is also from Xia Country.”

”Xiahou Huai Gui.” Xu Xingguang guessed the person’s identity.

”Oh?” Master Kaley was quite surprised to hear his beloved student’s name from Xu Xingguang’s mouth, ”You actually know him?”

These years, Xiahou Huai Gui had been seeking medical treatment in another country and rarely returned to Xia Country. Thus, Master Kaley was naturally surprised to learn that Xu Xingguang knew him.

”We’ve met a few times.” Xu Xingguang didn’t tell Master Kaley about saving Xiahou Huai Gui.

Bringing up past favors at this moment would seem like exchanging favors for cooperation.

”That guy is quite proud and disdains talking or befriending most people. Given that you’ve met a few times, it seems he thinks highly of you.” Master Kaley opened his piano and said to Xu Xingguang, ”Please.”

”Thank you.”

Xu Xingguang sat calmly on Master Kaley’s piano bench and began playing her original compositions with sophistication and elegance.

Xu Xingguang had the experience of being crowned the world’s top piano master. Facing Master Kaley, she remained composed and confident, showing no signs of weakness during her performance.

In her, Master Kaley saw the shadow of his beloved.

He suddenly understood why Xu Xingguang could bring voice to Jian Jia.

Because when she gazed at the piano, there was a sparkle in her eyes. Like his beloved, she regarded every piano with the same respect and love as if they were soul partners.

Master Kaley listened attentively to Xu Xingguang’s work.

Only when she finished did Master Kaley clap incredulously, marveling at Xu Xingguang, ”Incredible, you are simply a treasure from Xia Country to the world of art!”
