So the old bartender went to the beach to find Qin Jian.
When he arrived at the beach, Qin Jian was lying on the big rock and talking on the phone.
The old bartender was too moral and didn't get too close. He sat down not far from Qin Jian and called the buyer, agreeing on a time to pick up the goods tomorrow afternoon.
At the beginning of the second half of the year, his orders for clavichords increased, which made him very happy.
...
Twenty minutes later, Qin Jian jumped down from the big rock, looking unhappy.
Qin Jian walked to the old bartender and sat down: "Uncle."
The old bartender pulled his beard and smiled: "Whose phone number sounds like a beautiful young lady."
Qin Jian was really in no mood to joke with the other party, "My sister."
Upon hearing this, the old bartender thought of Qin Jian's sister, "She is indeed a very beautiful woman. Is she still in Eastman?"
Qin Jian nodded and continued: "Do you know about the Fifty States Piano Competition?"
"Of course." The old bartender looked like you were joking again. "The organizing committee also invited me to be a judge, but as you know, I never like to deal with those guys from Steinway."
The old bartender's unabashed tone made Qin Jian feel a little relaxed.
"It was these guys who gave her seventh place."
Although Qin Jian did not go to the scene to listen, He Jing's tone on the phone just now sounded very satisfied.
But he still felt a little uncomfortable.
The old bartender only said: "It's just a business event, don't worry about it."
The words concisely and concisely hit the core of this competition.
These words didn't even sound like Qin Jian was trying to comfort him, but he did feel better.
Qin Jian felt this way at the beginning. Since the end of last year, every step Steinway has taken seems to be paving the way for the launch of the new d274.
Judging from the top three that He Jing told him, it is not difficult to see the problem. The top four are all players who are inextricably related to Steinway.
The first two are even Steinway’s contracted artists.
The first place is the purple-eyed 'Matilda,' Qin Jian thinks he should call her Rachel from now on.
Although he couldn't use secondary words like 'revenge', the name Rachel was already on his list of Xiao Sai's opponents.
The two chatted for a while and the old bartender asked casually on the way back.
“Want to learn more about counterpoint?”
...
...
The old bartender's suggestion easily impressed Qin Jian, which was exactly what he needed urgently now.
He did not expect that the person who would teach him lessons would be old Assad, so he could only say that God is not as good as man.
He is looking forward to the counterpoint master class tomorrow morning, a true one-on-one master class.
Back at the hut, Qin Jian took a shower, sent Duan Ran a message to "review carefully", and then sent a congratulatory message to Fang Zongyao.
No matter what, finishing fourth in such a competition already represents the best result for a Chinese piano player.
The other party then called over.
Qin Jian originally thought that the other party wanted to talk to him about the competition, but he didn't expect that Young Master Fang actually wanted to chat with him.
Qin Jian just wanted to chat, Duan Ran was unavailable these days, and he had accumulated a lot of questions about music these days.
But Young Master Fang didn't say a word about the piano and directly asked him how he was doing with Duan Ran recently?
This made Qin Jian confused. If Feng Ziyan or Qi Feng had said this, Qin Jian would not have felt this way.
"That's great. She had a concert last week and I happened to go to Paris."
Looking at what Qin Jian said, Duan Ran didn't call him at all, but these words made Fang Zongyao envious.
"Why--"
There was a sigh on the phone, and Qin Jian quickly asked what kind of anger it was.
Later, when Fang Zongyao said it, Qin Jian finally understood.
It's not too complicated to say, there are two things in total.
The first one was Fang Zongyao and Xia Shu, which Qin Jian had expected. The two had already been flirting with each other during the second half of their stay in Warsaw.
This is a good thing, Qin Jian also congratulated him, but the problem lies in this second thing.
To put it bluntly, it's about the concert.
What's going on?
This starts with the upcoming final concert season of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Each major department holds two concerts at the end of each semester. One of the two concerts in the Piano Department this semester is by Natsuki...
Xia Shu was going to hold a concert. Xia Shu told Fang Zongyao immediately, which made Qin Jian a little envious.
So, Fang Zongyao wanted to go back to China for this purpose.
But Xia Shu refused to let him come back. Fang Zongyao was still competing at that time, thinking that the other party said that so as not to affect his competition.
But today the results of the competition came out, and he mentioned this matter to the other party again, but the other party still refused to let him come back and asked him to prepare for the finals.
The thing is that simple, and Fang Zongyao can understand the other party, but he just can't get over it.
The two young men and their mother-in-law chatted about this matter for more than an hour.
Finally Qin Jian gave him an idea.
"If you ask me, just go back to China. Don't tell her in advance. What else can she do to you when all of you are in Yanjing? The main thing is that you have to calculate the time of your return and don't delay yourself.
Just take the exam."
Fang Zongyao replied on the phone: "I've also considered this. The exam time coincides with her concert, otherwise I wouldn't have planned to go back. The question is, is this okay? I'm afraid she will be angry."
Qin Jian wanted to laugh when he heard Fang Zongyao's unconfident speech, and said: "Tsk, tsk, what are you afraid of? What can she say to you? Why did you come all the way to fly for more than ten hours just for my concert?"
Torturing yourself?"
moment.
"Look at Feng Ziyan, he chases him straight to school." Qin Jian added. "You have to learn from him on this."
Fang Zongyao tasted Qin Jian's words and felt that what Qin Jian said made sense, "Okay!"
After chatting about emotional matters, the two of them talked about the Fifty States Piano Competition before hanging up the phone.
Fang Zongyao objectively commented on He Jing's Pu Er, "Sister He Jing played really well. Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, I think she is better than me. But there is really nothing to say about Rachel's Xiao Yi. I will pass it on tomorrow.
I’ll give you the complete video of the finals, you’ll know after listening to it.”
Qin Jian: "Okay, please."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jian looked at the time and it was almost eleven o'clock.
Duan Ran was still reviewing. He didn't plan to translate the literature today, so he said good night to the other party and went to bed.
Tomorrow is a new beginning, and he is looking forward to Old Assad's counterpoint course.
A night without words or dreams.
On the last day of June, Qin Jian got up early.
The piano shop was quite busy today. As soon as he went out, he saw two large trucks parked in the piano shop.
The old bartender was chatting and laughing with a few people in front of the factory.
He knew that the old bartender was going to make money again.
After a cheerful breakfast, he carried his bag and followed Liao Linjun's instructions to the small bungalow in the west.
Still standing in front of the door listening to the moonlight, this time with the arpeggio practice coming from the room, he boldly knocked on the wooden door.
