Chapter 266 Duan Ran and a strange man? The final is about to start!
At half past eleven, the rehearsal ends.
As soon as this was over, Qin Jian sent Duan Ran a text message before leaving the concert hall, but did not receive a reply from the other party.
"Qin Jian."
Childlike innocence stopped Qin Jian and jumped off the stage carrying the musical instrument case.
"I'm really troubling you today." Qin Jian smiled.
"No trouble, just treat me to a meal at noon."
Qin Jian was a little embarrassed, but there was no reply from Duan Ran, so he was probably about to go on stage.
Thinking of it, he agreed to the other party.
Besides, the other party did help him a lot today, and he didn't want to owe this favor.
Under the guidance of Tongxin, the two left the concert hall and went to a nearby small restaurant
During the meal, Qin Jian learned that the other party was a Hunan girl who had been in Vienna for seven years and graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.
"Then do you know Mr. Liao Lin?"
"I know her. She is my senior sister. Why, do you know her?"
"She can also be considered my teacher."
"That's quite a coincidence. I had dinner with her last week."
With Liao Linjun's relationship, the two of them became more familiar.
A relaxing and enjoyable meal.
After it was over, the two exchanged contact information.
"bye."
"bye."
...
After finishing his busy work, Qin Jian received a call from Duan Ran on the way to the competition venue.
"I'm done here," Duan Ran's excited voice came from the phone, "How are you doing over there?"
"How do you feel? I'm on my way to find you." Qin Jian replied.
"It's not bad. Anyway, I played it correctly. Hey, what should we have for lunch?"
"What to eat..." Qin Jian touched his bloated stomach, "Look at you."
"Okay, let's meet again. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the concert hall."
Duan Rangang just put away the phone when a joking voice came from behind him.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Duan Ran was startled when he heard the sound. He quickly turned his head and looked at the man not far behind him. His face turned cold and he asked, "Why are you here?"
"I was suddenly arranged to come to Vienna on a business trip, so I stopped by to see you." The man smiled, "I played well today, especially Norma's Memories, which she played very well."
Duan Ran curled his lips and said nothing.
At this time, the man came over, took out a lanyard card from his handbag, and handed it to Duan Ran, "For such a big man, he walks in a panic and doesn't even know if something has fallen."
Once you have taken it, if you lose it, no one will pick it up for you."
Looking at the competition certificate in the man's hand, Duan Ran subconsciously touched his pocket, and sure enough it was empty.
"Thanks."
Muttering reluctantly, Duan Ran took his lost competition pass.
Looking at the young girl who turned her head away and pretended to be angry, the man smiled and said: "I came in a hurry this time, time is tight, and I can't wait to watch that silly boy's game."
Duan Ran's heart skipped a beat when she heard the sound, and she looked at the man differently, but she couldn't analyze anything from the corners of his smiling mouth.
"Besides, your teacher has been too busy these two days, so I didn't tell him that I was coming. Next time you see him, please say hello to him and give him time to go back to Paris."
"Also, your game is over and the exam is getting closer. You don't want to relax. You will go home after playing for two days."
"be safe."
The man looked at his watch and said, "Okay, I won't delay you and the others. The plane is about to take off."
As he said that, he turned around and left.
The next second.
"Wait a moment."
At this moment, Duan Ran suddenly called out to the man.
"Did you have meal?"
The man paused and stopped.
He turned around and looked at Duan Ran, coughing seriously.
"how?"
"Are you inviting me to have dinner with you at noon? If so, I can change my flight."
"It just so happens that I also want to meet your 'little friend'."
The man deliberately emphasized the word 'kid'.
"No, no... I didn't mean that." Duan Ran waved his hands and hesitated, "I mean you should at least eat something before getting on the plane."
"That's it, that's really disappointing."
The man smiled, turned around and continued walking.
"but."
"I will listen to your advice."
"Thank you for your concern."
The words are getting farther and farther away.
Not long after, the man hailed a taxi and disappeared on the side of the road.
Duan Ran, who was filled with complicated thoughts, was left standing alone at the entrance of the concert hall.
At this moment, the scene outside the Paris airport a few days ago resurfaced in her mind.
...
"I'm sorry Duan Ran, I've been too busy recently. I can't accompany you to Vienna to participate in the competition this time. Please pay attention to your own safety."
After just leaving a few words, the man drove away.
...
Then I thought of what the man just said.
Silly boy...child...
Also, could he have also watched the ensemble competition? Then he could have seen him and Qin Jian holding hands during the curtain call.
When he thought of this, Duan Ran's mood became more complicated, his heart was beating fast, and even his cheeks were turning red.
..
...
"Hello!"
At this moment, there was a sudden scream from behind, interrupting her thoughts and startling her.
"You hate it!!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Duan Ran turned around and glared at Qin Jian dissatisfied, "You scared me to death!"
"I called you several times, but you didn't hear me." Qin Jian felt a little aggrieved, "I don't know what you were doing."
"Let's go then. I'll treat you to lunch as an apology."
"Humph~" Duan Ran hummed.
Qin Jian took the big bag from Duan Ran's hand and said, "We have to hurry up. The finals will start at four o'clock. Don't delay watching the game."
...
The finals of the Mozart works category, as the most important competition among all categories in this competition, are held over two days.
Make sure each contestant has enough time and energy to complete two pieces.
The order of appearance is still based on the total points scored by each player in their own division.
As the number one player in the Asian division, Qin Jian's appearance will naturally be tomorrow.
After a simple meal, the two hurriedly arrived at the Brahms Concert Hall in the Golden Hall.
"I'll go, there are so many people!"
Looking at the dense audience in front of him, Qin Jian felt a little excited.
Unlike the ensemble competition scene, the Brahms Hall was already overcrowded at this time.
With this participation certificate, the two of them managed to find a spot in the second company.
The game has not started yet, but there is already a tense atmosphere at the scene.
In the middle of the auditorium, three rows of empty seats added a sense of solemnity to the game.
There is a display sign on each square table with a person's name written on it.
Duan Ran counted, "You have a total of fifty judges."
A gong sounded in the concert hall.
Then there was a commotion in the hall.
The corridor door on one side was pushed open, and everyone looked
Figures came out one after another.
Everyone's appearance will bring a burst of warm applause.
"Kilman!"
"Kampteev!"
"Rigel!"
"Cremont!"
"Babolun!"
"Teacher Shen!"
...
"The plastic surgery done by this jury is too luxurious..."
"Almost all the world's famous pianists were moved here by the organizing committee..."
"As expected of the finals..."
As all the judges took their seats, Rigel walked onto the stage.
The speech begins.
Standard English that Qin Jian couldn't understand.
The competition is about to begin.
...
...
Beijing time, 9:30 pm.
Haishi Conservatory of Music.
The lights in the dean's office are still on.
"Xiao Jingzi, are you really not going to think about your choice of major again?"
