At 18:30, the two set off for the Warsaw Concert Hall.
If possible, Qin Jian really doesn't want to go to the concert hall tonight. He wants to go out for a walk with Duan Ran and fulfill the delicious food promised to him in the morning.
But there is no way, as a gold medal winner he must attend all three concerts.
He will not only attend Edmundo's concert, but also Adams's tomorrow night. This is the arrangement of the competition organizer.
...
Edmundo's concert tonight was particularly amazing.
Not only Qin Jian thinks so, but many judges including Branjano also feel this way.
Edmundo's playing seemed to have matured after the Chopin Competition.
The repertoire he played in the first half was all his competition repertoire, which also included polonaises, etudes and a complete set of mazurkas from Op41.
In the second half, Edmundo played Chopin's Concerto No. 2 like Qin Jian.
Edmundo's competition stage and concert scene are like two different worlds.
When he performs at a concert, it seems that he will come up with some ideas while playing and then integrate them under his fingers, giving people an extremely fresh and spiritual feeling.
In Cho Er's performance, Edmundo once again transformed into the Chopin-like lyricist.
Compared to the finals, his performance today was closer to instinct, intuition, or unconscious affection.
At the end of the concert, the audience applauded him.
At least in this piece of music, Edmundo proved to the world his identity as a Silver Medal winner.
Some viewers even felt that if Edmundo could perform tonight's performance in the final the day before yesterday, the result of the game would not be certain.
But there is no if.
Under the applause, the shy young Polish man took off his glasses and bowed to the audience. Then he bowed to the portrait of Chopin hanging on the stage.
At this moment, this scene, Qin Jian was moved.
As a Chinese, he could not empathize with Edmundo's inner feelings, but he could understand Edmundo's feelings for Chopin.
...
After the concert, Qin Jian's dinner continued.
Tonight is a wedding banquet hosted by the old bartender. The old guy will go back to Bergen the day after tomorrow.
The protagonists tonight are still Qin Jian and Duan Ran.
Shen Qingci and Liao Linjun were the companions.
It was a pity that old Assad and Ido didn't come, but the old bartender didn't say much about this at the dinner table.
The meal was delicious and everyone ate, drank and talked a lot.
Qin Jian consulted a few more people about the contract. He originally planned to wait until Duan Ran left tomorrow to find Shen Qingci and Liao Linjun to ask him carefully.
The opinions and suggestions given by several people are similar to those of Duan Hong.
The old bartender asked Qin Jian when he planned to go to Vienna. Everyone here knew this question, but no one in China knew the specific time.
Little Fatty Duan even pricked up his ears.
"April next year at the latest?" Qin Jian looked at Shen Qingci uncertainly, "I plan to submit an application to the Vienna Conservatory of Music when I get back this time. What do you think?"
"What are you looking at?" Shen Qingci scolded with a smile, "I have the final say when you want to leave."
Everyone laughs.
But he smiled and said, "If you plan to go there early, you really need to prepare in advance. The application letter doesn't matter, the main thing is that the application for the study visa cannot be delayed." Liao Linjun interjected, "I will write the admission recommendation letter for you when you return to China."
"Thank you Brother Shen, thank you Sister Lin Jun. Qin Jian raised his glass and made a toast.

He drank the wine, put down the glass, changed the subject, and said seriously, "When will you return to China to prepare for the big event?"
Big events are naturally great joys.
"I'll go back the day after tomorrow, where are you?" Liao Linjun asked.
""November 2," Qin Jian replied, "I'm going to Krakow on the 26th, and I'm going to Gdansk on the 29th. After the two concerts, there is a Warsaw TV program to be recorded on the 31st."
Liao Linjun joked: "The schedule is quite tight."
Qin Jian was helpless: "These are all matters in the competition agreement."
"It's good. Anyway, just pay attention to safety wherever you go." Liao Linjun suddenly thought of something, "What about the tour plan? Is it scheduled for next year?"
Qin Jian said: "The organizer hasn't officially mentioned this to me yet, but conductor Marek asked me during the rehearsal that day. I don't have such a plan yet. I'll record the album first by the end of the year."
Shen Qingci: "Don't worry about the tour. We'll wait until you settle down in Vienna. The tour agreement in the Gold Award Agreement is to be completed within fourteen natural months of winning the award."
Qin Jian hasn't seen the gold medal agreement yet, but he is relieved with Shen Qingci's words.
"That's good." Qin Jian sighed. If he had to start a tour in a short period of time, he would be too busy.
"But you won't have time to spare after returning to China," Shen Qingci continued, "No matter what, you still have to go to several concerts in China this year."
"Is it a political mission?" Duan Ran asked doubtfully, she couldn't bear to let Qin Jian be so busy.
Shen Qingci looked at Duan Ran and sighed: "This is a good thing. With the enthusiasm of winning the championship, Qin Jian should hold these concerts. This is crucial to his future development in the country."
Duan Ran groaned, and under the table, Qin Jian patted her leg gently.
At the end of the conversation, the topic turned to Shen and Liao's wedding.
Before the show ended, Qin Jian promised a surprise for the two of them.
Little Fatty Duan was curious, so Qin Jian chose to keep it secret at the wine table.
...
After the show, everyone went back to the hotel.
Before getting in the car, the old bartender handed Qin Jian a small, rough gift box.
"What is this?" Qin Jian asked curiously.
The old bartender rarely joked: "This is a championship gift from Ido to you."
Qin Jian was surprised, he didn't expect, "What about him tonight?"
Old bartender: "Assad took Ido and left Warsaw after your concert last night."
Qin Jian's heart tightened, "Where have they gone?"
"Bergen." The old bartender said and waved to Duan Ran, "See you next time, my dear."
"Goodbye Uncle Potter."
The car drives out.
Several people said goodbye on the streets of Warsaw. It is unknown when and where the five of them will meet again next time.
...
Back at the hotel, Qin Jian couldn't wait to open Ido's gift.
A little puppet.
It was the little stuffed animal he picked up in the bathroom for Ido.
I had mixed feelings at the moment.
Qin Jian regretted not meeting Ido for the last time.
Fortunately they only went to Bergen.
Thinking in his mind, he carefully put the doll back into the gift box and put it in the suitcase.
This gift is extremely precious to him.
Qin Jian sat by the bed and thought deeply.
Duan Ran secretly went to take a shower alone without disturbing him.
...
This night.
It was destined to be a night like that.
The entanglement before parting.
There is nothing but reluctance.
...
Early the next morning, Qin Jian said that he was no longer able to survive.
But this time it was Xiaopang Duan who didn't let him go.
"It's all mine!"
...
After kissing goodbye at the airport, Duan Ran flew to Paris.
Taking away a lot of love and a crystal medal, she felt that she was the biggest winner in this trip.
But for the next section, she had to travel alone again.
...
Back at the hotel, Qin Jian caught up on his sleep again.
At noon, an invitation letter was delivered to his hotel room.
