Chapter 18 Apply

This girl holding a cat is indeed the boss who wears a stone through the water.

Her name is Lu Shishi, 25 years old, and a native of the East China Sea.

The Chinese Empire in this plane had royal families, nobles, and Old-Money for more than a hundred years.

Lu Shishi's family is even an old chaebol family in the southeast coastal areas.

However, her family had already gone downhill and had long been marginalized by the upper class.

But her family still has enough ancestral property to allow these younger generations to live comfortably for several lifetimes.

Lu Shishi loves music and art. After graduating from university, she traveled around the world for a long time. Finally, she had enough fun and returned to China. She took the money given by her family and opened this purely hobby water-piercing stone cafe.

Rather than saying that she is running her own business, she is looking for something that is similar to her interests, so as not to stay at home and wait for marriage every day, which is too boring.

The very heroic girl next to Lu Shishi is named Hao Yuan, who is also a descendant of a middle-aged family.

Hao Yuan is one year older than Lu Shishi.

The two girls grew up together and were their best friends, but in the past two years, they have traveled around the world together, and their emotions have fermented a little, and they have to transcend the pure friendship between their best friends.

Unfortunately, the family is deep and orthodox, and will not give them the opportunity to ferment their emotions.

They also knew that the road ahead was bumpy and there was no light, so they could only enjoy the final romance while they were still young and free.

Li Nan lit up his shoulders, Lu Shishi took off her headphones, turned her head, and looked at Lin Zaishan and Sun Yuzhen.

After this movement, the blue cat in her arms woke up.

Opening his emerald green apricot eyes, he screamed "meow", and the blue cat also looked at the two strangers Lin Zaishan and Sun Yuzhen.

The blue cat was very arrogant. Seeing that Lin Zaishan was so dizzy, it actually showed a very contemptuous look. It turned its head to stop looking at him, and then tugged on Lu Shishi's soft chest and went to sleep.

Lu Shishi's attitude is more polite, after all, she is a well-educated person.

Because she was holding the cat, she couldn't get up and greet the two of them. She just gave a simple greeting with Lin Zaishan and Sun Yuzhen in the way of a lady nodding.

Hao Yuan also took off her headphones at this time, looked at Lin Zaishan and Sun Yuzhen, frowned slightly, and was a little confused about the two of them being here to apply for a job.

Judging from Sun Yuzhen's appearance, she should be an urban professional woman and wouldn't be able to apply for a waiter, right?

That uncle is so terrifying. Could it be that he is here to apply for a cleaner?

Li Nan whispered in Lu Shishi's ear: "This uncle is here to apply for a pianist."

Nodding understandingly, Lu Shishi asked Li Nan to greet other guests and waved her hands to the two: "Please sit down, please."

Lin Zaishan's gentleman led Sun Yuzhen to sit down first, and then sat down by himself.

Sun Yuzhen sat directly opposite Hao Yuan.

Hao Yuan looked at Sun Yuzhen with an admiring look meaningfully, smiled slightly, showing her friendship.

But Hao Yuan didn't have such a friendly smile to Lin Zaishan. Lin Zaishan's unshaven beard and sloppy look really couldn't attract her favor.

Because the lights in the corner were not very sufficient, Sun Yuzhen initially thought Hao Yuan was a man.

After sitting down, she saw Hao Yuan's chest bulging under her crimson vest, and then she realized that this was a "tornboy" opposite her!

Hao Yuan looked at her with a clear appreciation taste. Usually, boys would look at her like this. Now that a woman looks at her like this, Sun Yuzhen is quite awkward to be seen.

Lin Zaishan sat opposite Lu Shishi, and as soon as he sat down, he asked, "Hello, are you the boss here?"

"Yes, I am the owner of this cafe. My name is Lu Shishi, what do you two call me?"

There was no intention of shaking hands with Lin Zaishan, his jade hands gently stroked the back of the short-haired cat as smooth as mink in his arms.

Lu Shishi's attitude is not arrogant, but she is quite a sense of distance and is a little bit arrogant.

"Don't let your surname be Lin, just call me Uncle Lin. This is my friend Yuzhen."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Sun Yuzhen and Lu Shishi said a greeting to each other.

Hao Yuan has a straightforward personality. She shrugged by Lin Zaishan’s introduction that she called herself “Uncle Lin” and asked a little unhappy: “Is your real name “Uncle Lin”?”

Lin Zaishan smiled and said nothing.

He didn't want to report his name from Lin Zaishan.

This name has too much negative influence.

Before regaining all the reputation of this name, Lin Zaishan didn't want to lose a chance to make money because of this name. He wanted to lower his attitude as much as possible.

Lu Shishi introduced Hao Yuan to Lin Zaishan and Sun Yuzhen: "This is my friend Hao Yuan, who is also a resident singer in the store. She is very good at singing jazz-style songs, so our store now needs to recruit a pianist who can play jazz piano. Uncle Lin, do you have experience in playing this kind of performance?"

“I should be able to play jazz-style piano.”

Hao Yuan asked bluntly: "What does it mean to be able to play 'should'?"

"If I were asked to play the jazz piano alone, there would be no problem. But what I mean by you is that I need to find a jazz pianist who accompanies the singer, which would need to be adjusted. Jazz-style music is improvisational performance. If the singer and the pianist do not have a tacit understanding, it will be difficult to get together."

Lu Shishi's beautiful eyes showed a look of praise.

They had previously invited a jazz band to accompany Hao Yuan, and on Friday, they also held a special jazz music performance to add popularity to the opening of the coffee shop.

As a result, the performance was very failed, and the cooperation between the band and Hao Yuan was always not on the same rhythm. They had rehearsals before. They felt good during rehearsals, but when it came to the actual performance, Hao Yuan improvised a little, and the band became a little messy, and the overall performance was particularly poor.

That failed performance not only failed to increase popularity and popularity for the water-piercing stone, but almost failed to give the store a signature.

With the experience of the last failure, Lu Shishi and Hao Yuan reached a consensus. They decided not to invite a jazz band to perform first, and to invite a jazz pianist to achieve a perfect combination of piano and vocals. After having a tacit understanding, they will use the jazz piano as the main melody and accompany other jazz musicians.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Therefore, they have high requirements for the piano player.

Two students from the music department of Dongyi University have applied for a pianist job, but Lu Shishi and Hao Yuan are not very satisfied. They don’t want to do any more signature performances.

Now, Lin Zaishan talked about the tacit understanding between jazz piano and singer. Lu Shishi thought the other party understood quite well, at least it was about the idea.

Hao Yuan has no fond of Lin Zaishan. She doesn't like sloppy men, or she doesn't like men at all.

She didn't want Lin Zaishan to accompany her with a rough man who had no musical temperament at all.

Just looking at Lin Zaishan, she felt that there was no tacit understanding.

With a professional attitude, Lin Zaishan asked Hao Yuan seriously: "Are you a singer who releases a movie? Do you have any works that will make me familiar with? If I am familiar with your singing style, I should be able to accompany you."

"Don't be 'should' be'." Hao Yuan said a little disdainfully: "Are you sure you can play the jazz piano?"

"Of course I'm sure."

Lu Shishi asked: "Have you ever had any experience in performing jazz piano before?"

Before Lin Zaishan could answer, Hao Yuan rushed to ask again: "Which jazz piano is the style of a master in your jazz piano? Or, which jazz pianist do you prefer to admire?"

Hao Yuan asked Lin Zaishan about this.

If Lin Zaishan likes the music of a master of jazz piano in his lifetime, he would blurt out the names of Bill-Evans or Erroll-Garner without hesitation.

But the problem is that there are no jazz piano masters in this life!

In this plane, Louis-Armstrong, the soul of jazz music, did not emerge and replaced it with others. Don’t mention these more advanced jazz masters.

It turns out that the uncle's memory did not accumulate jazz, so Lin Zaishan could not answer Hao Yuan's question directly.

"Well..." After thinking for a while, Lin Zaishan said: "I like the style of any master. I pursue music with all kinds of things and are very entrenched, so I can't say I especially appreciate any master. I can play any jazz piano of any style. As long as I can be familiar with your singing style, I will definitely be able to accompany you."

"Oh."

Hao Yuan smiled disdainfully and was too lazy to talk to Lin Zaishan more.

Lu Shishi's brows also frowned slightly. What Lin Zaishan said before was all about the idea. Why did she give a tactful answer at this time?

Lu Shishi asked, "Then what jazz style are you best at?"

Lin Zaishan still can't answer this question, because in the field of jazz piano, the style is determined by people, and they all talk about the style of which master.

He didn't know which master he was, how could he answer this? He could only continue to whisper: "I am very good at any style. I am more comprehensive."

Hao Yuanheng said: "Another more comprehensive statement is that it has no characteristics."

"It makes sense for you to say that. But as a jazz pianist who mainly plays accompaniment music, you don't need to be too distinctive, right? As long as you are familiar with the singer's style and can cooperate with the singer, that's enough. What do you think?" Lin Zaishan discussed with Hao Yuan calmly.

"I don't think so. We don't need pianists without style."

Hao Yuan has an aggressive arrogance that is difficult to distinguish between men and women. Lin Zaishan is a veteran, so she doesn't feel that much. Sun Yuzhen feels unhappy.

Lu Shishi, who kept stroking the cat's back, was fine. This tomboy Hao Yuan always looked down on Lin Zaishan, which made Sun Yuzhen feel sulky, but she couldn't even get in touch with her mouth to help Lin Zaishan explain anything.

Lin Zaishan did not report his home, and Sun Yuzhen knew that Lin Zaishan didn't want the other party to know his true identity.

His true identity is indeed a bit dragging on his back, which may make others disgusted.

Sun Yuzhen didn't understand the topic of jazz piano they talked about.

She had followed Lin Zaishan to apply for a job before, hoping to find an opportunity to help Lin Zaishan talk. But now she can't speak at all, and she saw the other party making things difficult for Lin Zaishan aggressively, which made Sun Yuzhen feel both depressed and sad.

Lin Zaishan was talking to him, and Lu Shishi thought the uncle was a little unreliable, so she asked Lin Zaishan directly: "Are you a professional pianist?"

"I'm not a professional pianist, but I can't say I'm an amateur. I'm a professional musician and have a wide range of fields."

"Uncle Lin is a very professional and talented musician." Finally, he was able to insert it. Sun Yuzhen tried hard to help Lin Zaishan speak.

"You are a very professional and talented musician. Come to our store to apply for a pianist?" Hao Yuan looked down on others when she asked.

"Isn't it possible?" Lin Zaishan asked with a smile: "Does your store want to hire a pianist without talent?"

Hao Yuan argued: "Of course we want to hire talented pianists in our store, but I don't think you are qualified for this job. I guess you have never performed in professional occasions."

Being pushed up by the champagne's stamina, Sun Yuzhen almost blurted out: This uncle had held a 50,000-level concert more than ten years ago! How could he not have had the experience of professional performances!

He is a genius rock singer in the five platinum level!

Lin Zaishan would definitely not mention the uncle's courage back then. He smiled introvertedly and said, "In terms of piano field, I have never performed in professional occasions. This is not my main focus. But I often practice piano in the piano room. Let's put it this way, as long as I can be familiar with your singing style, I will definitely be able to be able to perform professional accompaniment work in occasions like your cafe."

Hao Yuan refused and said, "Forget it, Uncle Lin, I don't think we can get along. Let's not waste each other's time getting along with each other's familiar styles. Our store still wants to hire a professional jazz pianist."

Lin Zaishan smiled helplessly and said, "Will professional jazz pianist take on such a casual job that costs 200 yuan a night?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hao Yuan glared fiercely and ignored Lin Zaishan.

Seeing that Hao Yuan didn't like Lin Zaishan very much, Lu Shishi had to apologize and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, our store cannot provide you with this job opportunity. In order to thank you and your friends for your visit, I'll invite you two to have a cup of coffee."

"I'll save coffee. I can't sleep at night after drinking too much. I'm not here to drink coffee. Let me ask you, do you want a solo performance pianist? I see, no one plays the piano in your store, so don't hire a live-action pianist? Don't you think that if a pianist is playing on the spot, it will play music like this, and make the mood and atmosphere in the store a higher level?"

Lu Shishi said: "Our store has just opened now and many plans have not been implemented yet. We should recruit solo pianists in the future, but there is no such plan yet."

"Oh, that's OK."

Seeing that there was no job offer, Lin Zaishan sighed regretfully and stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you to listen to music. Zhenzi, let's go."

Sun Yuzhen felt very uncomfortable when she saw Lin Zaishan being rejected. Such a great musician, this small cafe doesn’t cherish it. She really feels sorry for the elegant female boss who holds a cat!

Lu Shishi couldn't bear it even if she rejected such a down-and-out middle-aged uncle.

This uncle's attitude is actually quite good. Although others look a little decadent and sick, Lu Shishi can feel that he has a great enthusiasm for music.

As a person who also loves music, Lu Shishi can understand the loneliness that Lin Zaishan desires music but cannot get.

After his heart softened, Lu Shishi stopped Lin Zaishan: "Uncle Lin, you are here, and no one plays the piano in our store. Why don't you practice playing for a while? Let's listen. If you play well, our store will recruit solo pianists in the future, and we will contact you in advance. You will leave us a contact information later."

When Hao Yuan heard this, she immediately pulled Lu Shishi's hand and scolded her with masculine eyes: What are you doing!

Hao Yuan was worried that Lin Zaishan would affect other customers in the store, and she smashed the signboard of their store.

Their goal is to build a music cafe with reputation and attitude, but it has only been opened for a month and has already broken its signature several times. They can't afford it.

Seeing that there were no customers in the store, half of the customers sitting scattered were her friends, Lu Shishi simply ignored these things.

She sincerely invited Lin Zaishan to leave after a while.
