"Big star, I've thought about it and decided to give it a try."
The morning light shines through the glass window and fills the gray bedside.
Qin Jian squinted his sleepy eyes and replied to Xie Meng with a chuckle: "Welcome to join."
After a while, the message came back, "Good morning, do I want to see my boss today?"
Qin Jian thought for a while, "I will pick him up at Nanshi Airport in the afternoon. You can come with me. Have you discussed it with your family?"
Da Mengzi: 'We have discussed it and they are very supportive. What time will it be in the afternoon?'
Let it go: 'See you downstairs at two.'
Da Mengzi: ‘OK.’
Without replying to Xie Meng, Qin Jian clicked on Duan Ran's new profile picture again and took a look.
A bouquet of delicate roses really suited Duan Ran himself, and he was satisfied with the flower shop's delivery.
Let it go: 'Good morning.'
After washing up and having breakfast, Qin Jian and He Jing started morning exercises at the same time.
The passionate Bei Wu and the passionate Mrs. Beach Concerto met on the morning of Valentine's Day.
This is definitely not a romantic encounter.
The classical style of the 18th century collides with the inspiration and innovation of the 20th century. It would be amazing to see sparks come out of the friction.
The two figures seem to be interfering with each other, but they are not really interfering with each other.
The person who was disturbed might be the neighbors, or Fang Xuehua who was preparing lunch.
Having two pianists playing in a family at the same time seems to be quite enjoyable at first glance.
But in fact this is not the case.
Fang Xuehua locked the kitchen door tightly.
It was probably the great power of mother's love that prevented her from knocking on anyone's door.
Of course, a symphony of pots and pans is also playing out in the kitchen.
Qin Gang came back from Erzhuang just in time for dinner. At the dinner table, he listened to Qin Jian and He Jing discussing the results of their morning piano practice, and he was in a very happy mood.
After the meal, Qin Jian received the express delivery.
An exquisite three-sided razor is exactly what he needs now.
He was shaving in the bathroom, and He Jing's voice came from the living room: "I won't go home for dinner tonight."
Qin Jian stuck his head out: "Sister, you drive the car, I'll take a taxi."
He Jing: "No, please pay attention to safety on the road."
With that said, he opened the door and left.
After shaving, Qin Jian took a picture of Duan Ran's smooth chin. PS: It's very easy to use. You are awesome.
Then he also left.
"I won't go home for dinner tonight either."
After the two siblings left, Fang Xuehua was finally able to be quiet for a while.
She lay on the sofa, rubbed her temples and said to Qin Gang: "Go and wash the dishes. I have to take a rest."
Qin Gang stood up: "What's the matter? Do you think they are making a noise?"
Fang Xuehua snorted: "I'm willing to make noise. I'll just wash your dishes."
Qin Gang happily went to the kitchen.
Fang Xuehua sat up after lying down for a while and looked at the calendar.
"It's the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I really can't feel happy."
With a sigh, she stood up again. He Jing was leaving the day after tomorrow, so she had to pack up and prepare in advance.

While the couple was talking, Qin Jian and Xie Meng were already walking several hundred meters out of the community downstairs.
Today, Xie Meng carefully dressed up and sat in the passenger seat, looking like an exquisite urban white-collar woman.
Qin Jian secretly thought that the old bartender must be particularly satisfied with Xie Meng.
Along the way, Qin Jian taught Xie Meng a lot about clavichord. Xie Meng not only listened, but also took notes on her laptop.
"According to this, the ancient piano has been replaced by the modern piano in terms of function and performance, so why is it necessary for its existence?" Xie Meng was puzzled by this.
Qin Jian explained: "If we only start from these two points, the fortepiano should indeed have been eliminated long ago, but why has the fortepiano become more popular in the European musical instrument market in the past two years?"
"In the process of studying the market, we must treat the piano and the fortepiano as two separate instruments.
"And the fortepiano has the ability to play early piano works. You have to know that before the modern piano was developed, the fortepiano was like today's modern piano. No matter how great the composers and performers were, they had to play on the fortepiano.
finish their work."
"If modern people want to have a deep understanding of the keyboard music of 400 years ago, studying the clavichord is a very necessary path."
"Some large foreign universities have already introduced fortepiano as a required course in keyboard departments, and the first International Chopin Fortepiano Competition will be held in Warsaw next year."
"All this shows that the revival of the fortepiano in various parts of the world is by no means an accidental event."
After a pause, Qin Jian emphasized again: "The clavichord itself is an independent keyboard instrument."
While Qin Jian was speaking, Xie Meng had already typed down Qin Jian's words.
"You type so fast." Qin Jian stepped on the accelerator at the highway exit and glanced at Xie Meng's computer screen while paying the toll.
"I've learned stenography."
Xie Meng said that she had finished typing the last sentence Qin Jian said.
She stopped and read for a moment, "Well, I probably understand a little bit. There are still some professional issues that I don't understand, but I would like to ask if our domestic music conservatories will also offer this course in the future?"
Shen Qingci has already mentioned this to him. Unsurprisingly, the Piano Department of Hua Guo Yuan will offer clavichord courses at the beginning of this fall.
But for Xie Meng, he only said: "I predict that at least half of the nine major domestic professional colleges will add this course within five years."
"That's right." Xie Meng murmured, "Then there should be no clavichord competition held in China."
Her seemingly casual mention made Qin Jian look twice.
I have to say that although Xie Meng is outside the industry, her vision is quite vicious.
Organizing competitions is almost recognized in the industry as the best way to make money.
Qin Jian: "This question seems to be early, but you can discuss this topic with your future boss later."
Xie Meng knew what was going on and didn't ask any more questions. She just talked casually.
But as for whether it's early or not, she needs to understand the entire industry before she can make an unbiased judgment.
Before she knew it, she had entered a working role.

At 15:48, the two arrived at Nanshi Airport.
Half an hour later, the old bartender, dressed in British style, appeared at the airport exit pulling a black business suitcase.
The open gray woolen coat is bohemian. Under the coat is a waistcoat of the same color with a white lining, a small felt hat on the head, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on the feet.
For those who don't know, it is easy to think that this is a handsome old foreign man with a gentlemanly demeanor.
For example, Xie Meng.
"Wow," she sighed, looking at the old bartender who was walking toward her with a smile, "I didn't expect that."
"That's not all you didn't expect." Qin Jian looked at the old man approaching him, grinned and whispered, "Let's go, let me get to know you."
As he spoke, he stepped forward in two steps and opened his arms to greet her.
"Happy New Year, uncle, you are handsome again."
"Jian, can you first introduce to me the beautiful lady next to you."
The old bartender let go of Qin Jian and looked deeply at Xie Meng's face.
Xie Meng took the initiative to step forward and extended her hand generously with a smile.
"Hello, Teacher Potter, I'm Xie Meng. It's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice."
The old bartender didn't seem to notice that the other party spoke Norwegian.
After looking at Xie Meng for a moment, he showed a charming smile and said in a slightly hoarse voice——
"People in my hometown call me Daniel."
——
Qin Jian:...it's time...
At this time, he was only grateful for the convenience brought to him by his proficiency in language, otherwise he would not have known that Daniel could actually say such vulgar words.
