The Mightiest Little Peasant

Everyone’s expression changed when they heard Li Wenzhe’s words.

‘Is this guy an idiot?

‘Isn’t money enough? If that guy converted all his assets into cash, that’s enough to bury you!

‘Besides, in this materialistic world, isn’t money the only thing?’

“I’m so envious! I wish someone would bury me with his money!” Someone said.

Tang Hao rolled his eyes and said, “Then what do you have?”

“I have talent and character. In other words, I’m different from vulgar rabble like you!” Li Wenzhe sneered and looked at Tang Hao with disdain.

Tang Hao grimaced. He was exasperated.

“What else do you know other than playing the piano? What’s so great about that?”

“Yes! Do you know how to play it then?”

“No!” Tang Hao said candidly.

Tang Hao was from a poor family. He never had any experience with musical instruments.

“That settles it. The piano is not an ordinary musical instrument. It’s elegant, highbrow art. Do you understand? Never mind. You’re a country bumpkin. You don’t get art. You won’t understand even if I explain it to you.”

Li Wenzhe’s gaze became more contemptuous.

Tang Hao was feeling a little annoyed. That guy deserved a kick in the face.

‘So what’s so great about playing the piano?’ Tang Hao sneered in his heart.

“Is playing the piano very difficult?” Tang Hao said disdainfully.

“Of course it’s difficult. It requires hard work and talent. People like you have no hope!”

“Is that so? Now I’m interested in learning to play!” Tang Hao said coldly.

“Haha!”

Li Wenzhe suddenly laughed, “You… want to learn the piano? Haha! I’m dying of laughter! I wonder how many years you’ll take to be considered a piano player. You can learn for the rest of your life, and you’ll never catch up to me.”

“Are you a good piano player?”

“Of course! I perform regularly. Never mind, you won’t understand even if I explain it to you! You only need to know that I’m better than you!”

Li Wenzhe lifted his chin, feeling very pleased with himself.

“He’s so cocky, Brother Hao!” Yan’er whispered into Tang Hao’s ear.

Tang Hao said, “Now that you’ve piqued my interest, I really want to learn how to play the piano. I don’t need years, maybe a few months will be enough!”

Li Wenzhe was stunned when he heard that.

Then, he began to laugh loudly.

“Haha! I’m dying of laughter. Do you think you can learn the piano in a few months? Dream on! Do you think that you’re a prodigy?” Li Wenzhe shrieked mockingly.

Even the people around them could not help but laugh.

Every musical instrument, even the easier ones like the guitar, required a few months to learn. Mastering it would take years.

Not to mention that the piano was much more complicated.

One would still be struggling with the basics after a few months.

“If you don’t believe me, then never mind!” Tang Hao said coldly.

Li Wenzhe said, “Since you have such a big mouth, fine! The freshmen’s welcoming party will be in a month. I dare you to perform a piece on stage!”

“Sure!” Tang Hao immediately agreed to it.

He could not back down from that challenge! Besides, a month was about enough. He might not be a master of the instrument, but he would be at least a decent player.

If it were only one song, that would be easy!

Li Wenzhe was stunned upon hearing the direct answer.

He thought that Tang Hao would refuse.

Then, he burst into laughter.

‘Haha! He actually agreed to it! Is he an idiot?

‘He might not even master the easiest song after a month, and he thinks that he’ll be able to perform on stage? He’ll only be an embarrassment!

‘I’ll also be performing during the welcoming party. By then, he’ll know how much better I am!’

He became excited when he thought of that.

“Did you hear that? He agreed to it!” He looked around and shouted loudly.

Everyone was also stunned. They did not expect Tang Hao to agree.

Then, the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

“Haha! The final boss will finally stumble. What can he learn in a month? He will definitely make a fool of himself!”

The boys were gloating.

“Don’t go back on your words, Tang guy!” Li Wenzhe shouted at Tang Hao again.

“Don’t worry!” Tang Hao said coldly, “You’ll see!”

Then, he walked out with Yan’er.

The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone seemed excited.

Tang Hao was going to learn the piano and perform at the welcoming party one month later. That was sensational news!

Immediately, countless people took out their phones and posted the news on the forums and various groups on social media.

The public opinion exploded instantly, and the entire Z University was in an uproar.

After hearing the news, Fang Qiming couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hahaha! The tides are finally turning!”

He felt as though he could finally get his revenge!

“Quick! Slot that guy into the schedule! Where? Let me see. Right, put him after Li Wenzhe. I want to make that guy look like a joke!”

The boys were eager to watch Tang Hao fail, but the girls were different.

“He’s so brave! That’s Tang Hao for you!”

“No matter what his performance might be, he’s still my dream husband! Nothing will stop me from attending his performance, even a typhoon or hailstorm!”

The girls were completely on Tang Hao’s side. They only had praises for him.

“Are you really going to do it, Brother Hao?”

Tang Hao and Shi Yan’er walked along a small path on the campus.

“Yup! I’ve already made the promise in front of so many people. How could I go back on my words?” Tang Hao said.

“But… isn’t a month too short? Why don’t… you do It a month later, at the New Year’s Eve party?” Yan’er said hesitantly.

“No need! A month is about enough!” Tang Hao said.

After accompanying her for a walk, he sent her back to the dormitory.

After leaving the university, Tang Hao took out his phone and searched the Internet. He immediately rushed to the largest piano store in the city.

“Which is the best piano here?”

Tang Hao asked as soon as he entered the door.

The sales clerk was stunned. She sized up Tang Hao and carefully said, “That… is very expensive. It costs several million yuan!”

“I’ll buy it!”

Tang Hao handed her his credit card.

The sales clerk wanted to laugh, but when she saw the card, her whole body trembled, and she immediately showed a respectful expression.

At the same time, she was dumbfounded by Tang Hao’s lavishness.

She put on a warm smile and said, “How may I address you, sir?”

“My surname is Tang!”

“Oh! This way, please, Mr. Tang. I’ll bring you to the showroom, and you can try it. If you’re satisfied with it, you can buy it!”

“There’s no need! Just swipe the card and deliver the piano to me!”

Tang Hao gave her his address.

The corner of the sales clerk’s eyes twitched. ‘How straight to the point! He doesn’t even check his million-yuan purchase.’

She quickly found the shop manager, processed the transaction, and then arranged for someone to transport the piano.

When Tang Hao got back to his apartment, the piano also arrived at the same time.

Several workers carefully carried the piano and placed it in a corner of the living room.
