The domestic piano masters agreed, “Yes, it’s just a matter of opportunity with this level of skill.”

“It’s simple.”

Said Patrick, who had been silent until now, turning to Charlie.

“Mr. Firth, I haven’t held a global tour in two years. Could you arrange one for me?”

His question shocked everyone, especially Rosey. They had begged Patrick for a global tour, to include Linda, but he refused. Now, Patrick was asking Charlie, signaling a clear intention.

Charlie frowned and didn’t immediately respond.

Rosey, seizing the opportunity, approached with a forced smile. “Patrick, we wanted to collaborate with you before. Linda is our artist. If you do a global tour, we’ll handle all the logistics. Just take Linda and Lindsy Woo with you.”

Lindsy, the pianist with Rosey, lit up at the prospect.

It seemed like Patrick had already agreed.

Patrick looked at Rosey coldly. “Do you know why I don’t collaborate with your company?”

Rosey hesitated, “Why?”

“Hmph!”

Patrick scoffed. “I may not be Zach or Parmelo, but I’m still an internationally renowned pianist. Every time, you try to make me carry your ‘private goods.’ Do you think I’m the kind of person who just takes anyone along?”

Lindsy's face reddened at being compared to ‘any cat or dog,’ a blatant insult!

Everyone mockingly looked at Lindsy, as if to say, “You think you deserve Patrick’s mentorship!?”

Patrick then turned back to Charlie. “Mr. Firth, I’ve already agreed to a ten-year collaboration with Luna. As soon as the contract is signed, I’ll be part of your company.”

“What?!”

“Oh my God!”

Both the established and upcoming pianists were stunned. Patrick joining Charlie’s entertainment company meant it would be the only domestic company with an international piano star.

Charlie chuckled, “Patrick, it’s not that I’m unwilling to arrange a global tour for you. But top music venues are booked a year in advance. I was just considering whether I could arrange it by the end of this year.”

"Huh?"

Patrick, surprised, then burst into laughter. “Hahaha… No worries! Even next year is fine, as long as Mr. Firth arranges it. I’ll take Nan and Linda with me, to usher them onto the international stage!”

Instantly, all eyes turned to Nancy and Linda, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, almost overwhelming them.
