Chapter 51: Boss Wang's Values

"It's OK to play, it's quite smooth!" Boss Wang commented.

This was the first time Chen Chufan heard such an evaluation after he finished playing the piano, and he couldn't help but feel panic. Perhaps it was because every time he finished playing the piano, he was so envious of various praises from Ye Siying and Professor Wang. When he suddenly heard such evaluation, he couldn't help but startled this fat man to such a genius. It seems that the boss is knowledgeable and probably has met many good pianists, so he has not had a high evaluation of himself. Thinking of this, Chen Chufan couldn't help but feel nervous about whether his craft can pass the review of this fat boss with a tricky taste.

"I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks. I think it's still smooth. I should be able to have an amateur five or sixth grade, right?" Boss Wang asked the woman beside him carelessly.

"Amateur five, CET-6?" Mr. Liu seemed to have come back to his senses from Chen Chufan's interpretation, and replied angrily: "Professional five, CET-6 are not as good as him!"

"No wonder it plays so smoothly. Haha, the young man is so young, it's pretty good, it's pretty good! It's promising!" Boss Wang was snatched by Mr. Liu's words and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said with a smirk.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Chufan suddenly realized. It turned out that it was not that he played it badly, but that the fat boss didn’t understand music at all. This also made Chen Chufan suddenly realize that it was necessary to play the piano for those who understood it to make people’s hearts mysterious. No wonder Boya Ziqi would be as hard to part with as a gay friend when he met. It turned out that this is the reason.

Chen Chufan was sighing in his heart about Boya’s deep friendship with Ziqi, but Mr. Liu spoke again.

"You are still a student!" Mr. Liu looked at Chen Chufan and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Liu. Just study at the Minzu University of Central and Northern China!" Chen Chufan replied.

"Don't call me Mr. Liu, call me Aunt Liu!" It seemed that Chen Chufan was very dissatisfied with the official name of Boss Wang, and he made a correction.

"Okay, Aunt Liu!" Chen Chufan has always been kind to this kind of request.

"Are you from the music department?" Aunt Liu continued.

"It's not the history department!" Chen Chufan finished answering and quickly added: "But now I'm a minor in music!"

"Oh, will Liszt's "Sigh" be played?" Aunt Liu gave the title.

When Chen Chufan heard this, he knew that he was taking the exam seriously. "Sigh", also known as "The Sea", is one of the etudes of Lister's concerts. Although it is simple compared to other etudes of Lister's concerts, and its performance skills are not as tricky as those of Lister's other etudes, it is also a very difficult piece. The main difficulty lies in the combination of extremely fast chords and main melody. Of course, as far as Lister's etudes are concerned, there is no one that is really simple. It really takes some skill to make this song good.

Chen Chufan happened to be able to play this song, and he didn't need to read the score. Because Professor Wang always asked him to use this song to practice the coordination of his hands, he basically played it once or twice a day. In addition, Chen Chufan is so perverted that he has a demonic memory, of course, it is not difficult for Chen Chufan to do so.

"Yes!" Chen Chufan answered simply, and his fingers danced again on the piano keys.

I have to say that Chen Chufan still grasped the essence of this song. The rhythm of the piano sounds is ups and downs. Sometimes it is like spring buds blooming, sometimes it is like streams running through the sea, gorgeous and gorgeous. The Buddha really intertwined the light on the sea and stillness, showing the listener's eyes.

After playing the song, Chen Chufan looked up at the two of them again. Boss Wang did not rush to interrupt first, but kept nodding, shaking his body with a fat body. However, Chen Chufan couldn't tell what his nod meant from his expression.

This time, Aunt Liu commented first: "Oh, what a pity!" A sigh made Chen Chufan feel a little nervous again. Didn't he have any confidence in what he was doing? But according to Professor Wang's evaluation, have he already mastered the essence of this song? Chen Chufan was about to discuss with Aunt Liu, but Boss Wang followed Aunt Liu's words first.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, he is just a student, so you can't have too high demands on him. After all, not every Chinese is Li Xiaodi! Haha!" Boss Wang seemed to think his words were very humorous, and he laughed twice before continuing to comment: "Actually, the middle is still smooth. At the end, this kid probably just stepped on the pedal, so he broke his hand for a while and was just making do with it!"

Boss Wang's evaluation made Chen Chufan feel a little crying. What does it mean to have a pedal that caused his hand to break for a while? This is the song that had a pause at the last few syllables, okay? This part only requires stepping on the sustain pedal. He was about to speak up and spread piano knowledge to Boss Wang, but Aunt Liu spoke first.

"Boss Wang, I said it's a pity. It's not that the child is not playing well. I mean that the sound quality of this piano is too poor, and it's a pity to let the child play on this piano." Aunt Liu did not give Boss Wang any face and said bluntly.

"Uh? Haha!" Boss Wang touched his head with his hand and smiled awkwardly. However, the fat man was still open-minded and he was not angry. "So, haha, that means this kid has a future. Then hire him! What's your name!"

"My name is Chen Chufan!" Although this boss Wang's appreciation ability made Chen Chufan speechless, he was still very happy to hear that he could be hired. He could earn money by playing the piano casually, which was much more reliable than actually going to a circus to perform a big stone on his chest.

"Chen Chufan, right? You think this is OK. I come to work from 7 to 9 pm every night. I will pay you an hourly salary of 30 yuan, which is 60 yuan a day, and the salary is paid daily, but you have to ensure that you have to come for more than five days a week." Fatty Wang pondered for a moment and said his salary.

"Uh?" Chen Chufan was a little surprised. Han Xiaoxi told him that the owner of the cafe invited Ye Siying to play the piano here. The price seemed to be 100 yuan per hour. Why did he only have 30 yuan per hour when he came here? This difference is too big, right? The one he played should not be much worse than Ye Siying! Thinking of this, Chen Chufan asked carefully: "Boss Wang, I heard a classmate say that the salary you offered to be a pianist is 100 yuan per hour? Why are you only paying me 30 yuan per hour?"

"Oh! So you are the classmate of that beautiful girl! No wonder she came here on the voluntary basis!" Boss Wang suddenly realized and continued to explain: "Student Chen, I will certainly make sense for me to pay that beautiful girl a hundred yuan a hour! Look, such a beautiful girl and playing the piano so well, there must be many suitors in the school. And I asked her if she has a boyfriend, and she said no! So I asked her to play the piano here and then advertise casually. How big a sensational effect would it be. In order to win the favor of the beauty, her suitors will come to my cafe every day. If they come to sit, will they definitely spend money? Do you think I will lose money?"

Master! Chen Chufan sighed in his heart. Chen Chufan felt that he had another lesson today. As the saying goes, there is a special offer for his profession. Although the fat man Wang doesn’t understand the piano, he can definitely be as good as ten of them in business planning!

"Then let's talk about you. Since your piano skills can be recognized by Mr. Liu, it should be excellent. But do you have the appeal of your beautiful classmate? Can you attract many girls to come and play the piano?" Boss Wang asked back.

Chen Chufan shook his head confusedly. Of course, he is not as good as Ye Siying in terms of appeal. As for attracting girls, he also thinks he doesn't have the charm. He wants to say that the beauty you are talking about is my nominal girlfriend, but it seems that it is useless to fight for a high salary if you say it.

"That's it! So thirty yuan per hour is already a lot. Sitting in front of the piano for two hours a day and playing it for practice can earn 60 yuan. It's pretty good!" Boss Wang said naturally. "How about it, you have no idea! If you can, you can come to work at 7 o'clock tonight!"

Chen Chufan was basically convinced by this boss Wang. He was about to agree, but he saw Aunt Liu, who had not spoken aside, shook her head gently at him with a smile, as if she was pointing something. Chen Chufan's heart moved, and swallowed the words that had reached his mouth. Instead, he shook his head and said, "The salary is still too low, I need to consider it!"

"Oh, then there's nothing I can do. Classmate Chen, I'm also a small business here. I can't stand it even if I'm hiring a higher salary! You can go back and think about it first! If you think it's OK, come to work!" Boss Wang shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll leave first if I disturb you today!" After that, Chen Chufan stood up from the piano and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Aunt Liu stopped Chen Chufan's pace, and took out a very exquisite business card from her small bag and handed it to Chen Chufan. "This is my business card. I think your piano skills are pretty good, and there is room for improvement. If you have any questions, you can call me. Maybe I can help you."

"Thank you Aunt Liu! I'll say goodbye first!" Chen Chufan took the business card handed over by Aunt Liu, solemnly put it in his pocket. Then he turned around and left.

"It's a pity! Actually, he's a good seedling, but he's too high in positioning himself! Alas, he's still a student, he wants a salary! He's so proud, that's a great man, it's a pity!" Boss Wang looked at Chen Chufan's leaving back regretfully, shook his fat body, and sighed with a shaking head.
