Maybe it's because women have a natural way of communicating with each other.
Qin Jian quietly returned to the bedroom and began to do his harmony homework. Not only the harmony homework, but also the polyphony homework due tomorrow, and the history of Western music homework due the day after tomorrow.
The subject of polyphony should not have appeared in his semester, but he followed Langton's advice and became a skipper.
Half an hour later, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Duan Ran threw Qin Jian's cell phone on the bed, "Teacher Qin, how do you calculate the salary?"
"100 yuan for a class?" Qin Jian put down his pen, turned around, and said with a smile, "200 yuan is fine too."
"Am I only worth 200 yuan?"
Duan Ran walked over and sat in Qin Jian's arms, "Tell me the truth, have you planned it for a long time?"
"It's not that early," Qin Jian defended himself sternly, "I just suddenly thought of it today."
Duan Ran asked, "Then why did she hold the sheet music I used?"
Qin Jian was confused, he had no idea about this, "What do you mean?"
After Duan Ran's explanation, Qin Jian understood.
"God willing."
Originally, he just told Fang Xiaoyu to ask Shen Qingci for Liszt's score, but he did not expect that Shen Qingci would give Fang Xiaoyu the score that he had taught Duan Ran.
"But having said that, what do you think of her?" Qin Jian asked seriously.
Duan Ran: "Very smart."
Qin Jian nodded and immediately confessed that he wanted Fang Xiaoyu to participate in the Liszt International Piano Competition next year.
After hearing this, Duan Ran wondered if it was a bit too fast.
As the person with the most say on Liszt in the bedroom, she said that it might be inappropriate to only give Fang Xiaoyu more than a year to prepare for this competition.
"She'll be fine."
Qin Jian said the same thing again, "Believe her."
"So I will have to work hard for you every week from now on. I will be responsible for correcting her technical problems, and you will help her with Liszt's music."
These words inevitably made Duan Ran feel a strange feeling in her heart. She didn't understand why Qin Jian cared so much about Xiaoyu.
Suddenly, the jealousy in my heart couldn't help but come out again.
But she expressed it very tactfully, "Is her participation in the Liszt Competition important to you?"
"important."
After a pause, Qin Jian decided to take this opportunity today to explain some things to Duan Ran. In his opinion, his career should now be counted as part of Duan Ran.
"Do you still remember the teaching method I mentioned to you?"
——
Half an hour later.
"Does this mean that my eldest sister will launch this piano education brand in the United States in a while?"
Qin Jian nodded, "If nothing else happens, it should be at the end of next month."
Duan Ran didn't think there was any problem with Qin Jian's idea when it was introduced from abroad to China.
She believes that this teaching method will definitely bring considerable turmoil to the academic world one day in the future.
But when it came to Fang Xiaoyu's personal growth, she still remained skeptical.
After finishing the video class, regardless of anything else, Fang Xiaoyu's words and deeds and the bow he made when he finally hung up the video won her favor.
Besides, girls know girls better.
Through a short video class, Duan Ran could clearly sense that there was no ambiguity between the other party and Qin Jian that she had worried about before.
So she couldn't help but remind her, "It's not good to encourage others to grow."
Qin Jian just said, "She is fine."
Seeing that the other party's attitude was unusually resolute, she did not continue on this issue. "From then on, I will give her an extra class alone every week."
"Um?"
Qin Jian gave a thumbs up and said, "You can get me again tonight."
"Hahaha—fuck you, I don't want it."
Duan Ran got out of Qin Jian's arms and said, "Hurry up and do your homework. We will go out for a walk later."
"Wait a minute, have you finished the polyphony homework due tomorrow?" Qin Jian asked like a primary school student.
Duan Ran said proudly: "Of course, I will finish it in the afternoon."
"That's just right." Qin Jian took Duan Ran's cloth bag and turned it over, "Lend it to me to copy."
Duan Ran: “Add more money, add more money!!”
——
It's Friday again.
It has been half a month since school started, and Qin Jian has completely adapted to the new university life.
This is what college life should be like in his image, with classes, piano practice, and homework, extremely fulfilling.
There is no need to leave school suddenly for trivial matters, often for a month or two or half a year.
It seems inappropriate to describe it as trivial matters, but at least there is no time conflict between his off-campus work and his school time.
The most recent thing happening right now was the Paris Music Festival in the summer, when he happened to be on vacation.
Let’s talk about piano practice again. It must be said that Qin Jian’s recent time schedule for piano practice is far less compact than when he is preparing for competitions or recording.
Now he only guarantees two hours of basic skills practice and half an hour of Animal Carnival piano practice every day, and the rest depends on the circumstances.
Sometimes he and Duan Ran would practice the semester homework assigned by Langton to Duan Ran. Sometimes he would also play Chopin or Mozart, or do a little improvisation.
Or when there is a lot of homework, he simply stops practicing.
This kind of loose practice arrangement that is different from his previous practice does not seem entirely without merit. Recently, during a practice session of Mozart's K450 Concerto, he suddenly experienced a new experience of Mozart's music.
This may have something to do with what he heard in Serin's class, but I don't know if he personally noticed it.
It seems that his purpose of coming to Vienna has been temporarily shelved. In fact, it has not. Qin Jian has been looking for status recently.
In a state of preparation for practicing Beethoven, choosing Langton also destined him to choose not to accept the playing techniques of other piano teachers during his stay in Vienna.
The progress of practice is essentially still in his own hands.
He still hadn't heard what Langton had arranged for him in this week's professional class, so he was even less anxious.
When he felt that it was about the same, his hands would suddenly remind him one morning when he woke up: Hey, it's time.
So he waited for this day.
——
"It should be soon, right?"
It’s 5:30 on Friday afternoon, at a table near the bar in Cramer’s Cafe.
Qin Jian looked at his watch and saw that it was already more than fifteen minutes before the time agreed with Langton, "Don't be anxious, just wait."
Today, the two plan to treat Langton to a weekend dinner.
Duan Ran held his stomach and groaned, "It's all your fault for not letting me eat enough at noon."
Qin Jianhan: "I'm going to take you to eat delicious food this afternoon..."
While the two were talking, the door of the cafe was pushed open.
I saw Langton changing his clothes for the rare occasion today, holding something like a newspaper in his hand, and then quickly walked over in the direction of the two of them, wiggling his fat buttocks.
Qin Jian and the two stood up.
"professor."
"Teacher Langton."
Panting, Langton stopped in front of the two of them and stretched out the newspaper in his hand in front of them.
He looked at Qin Jian proudly, with a "wait and see" look.
Qin Jian lowered his head in confusion.
