Please, come home and practice the piano

No one thought of it.

These are the two most important music events at the end of the year in Rongai. In the eyes of some people, Fang Yongbo is undoubtedly giving up power.

In any case, Kong Chao was happy that he finally got a chance. The higher-ups finally saw Fang Yongbo's show of weakness, and even some of the musicians gradually relaxed.

They were not convinced by Kong Chao at all, but who didn't want the work process to be a little easier? Life was already tiring enough.

And there are some musicians who know that Fang Yongbo's contract expires next year, and unknowingly they gradually become closer to Kong Chao.

Even Lin Qingfeng didn't understand it at first.

Lin Qingfeng never liked asking, he only liked doing.

As long as it is an order from Fang Yongbo, he will not consider it. Execution is the only thing he has to do.

But one day he still couldn't hold it in and asked Fang Yongbo on the way home.

why?
Fang Yongbo laughed at that time and said to Lin Qingfeng, Qingfeng.

Lin Qingfeng replied bluntly, I don't understand.

Fang Yongbo said, you say.

In Lin Qingfeng's view, Rong Ai's success today was entirely due to Fang Yongbo's own efforts. It was obvious that it had already blossomed, so why did he share the fruits of victory with others? Besides, he was clear about the contradiction between the two parties.

After Fang Yongbo listened, he said nothing more and just asked him, do you think Kong Chao can win two games?
Lin Qingfeng replied, definitely not.

Fang Yongbo asked again, if you try your best to help him, can he?
Lin Qingfeng replied, neither can.

Fang Yongbo then asked, has Rongai's development been too smooth in recent years?
Lin Qingfeng thought for a while and answered, I understand.

Yes, after the reconstruction of Rongai, it can be said that it has been reborn and developed in a straight line, as if there is no difficulty that Rongai cannot overcome.

Gradually, even Lin Qingfeng felt that some things became natural.

But in fact we have to go back to the root cause and who is behind all this.

"Brother Bo, it's already three times." Lin Qingfeng reminded.

"I won't smoke anymore." Fang Yongbo nodded and continued, "I will give him two games and let you help him with all your strength. He thinks he can do it, and the superiors also think he can do it."

Lin Qingfeng: "But in fact, he can't take it down. When the time comes, he will have to rely on you to take action."

Fang Yongbo shook his head, "Qingfeng, you are wrong. If it were normal times, he could do it, but this time is different."

Lin Qingfeng was puzzled.

Fang Yongbo: "Kong Chao has been working under you and me these years. Although there are people above supporting him, the actual living environment is really difficult."

"When he finally gets such an opportunity to be proud, he will definitely prepare with all his strength, not only to prove himself, but also to achieve results, which are needed from him."

"But he still has too little experience. To tell you the truth, I don't have complete confidence when I come to rehearse Brahms' No. [-], let alone him."

"It can be foreseen that the end of this year will definitely be a big melee in Bosi, and the reality we must recognize is that the overall strength of our musicians still cannot compare with the big groups."

“And there’s also a Tchaikovsky.”

"Everyone thought that our performance in May was to prepare for the end of the year. Let me tell you, except for pathos, the rest of the works cannot be used."

Lin Qingfeng: "So you designed the track that way on purpose."

Fang Yongbo: "Kong Chao actually knows this. Do you think he wants to take on two games? He doesn't want to take on Tchaikovsky's one, but there is no other way. He goes to apply for Brahms, so I'll just be an adult. Give him both games and if he doesn't take it, he's just scared. If he doesn't take it, he will never have such an opportunity again."

"The higher ups can definitely bring in another Sun Chao and Ma Chao."

"So he has to catch both games and do everything he can to do both."

"These two concerts will also determine his fate."

Lin Qingfeng: "What if he succeeds?"

Fang Yongbo smiled: "Qingfeng, what you have to do is to do your best to get everyone to cooperate with him, and by the way, keep an eye on the people I mentioned."

Lin Qingfeng: "I understand."

As soon as the words changed, Fang Yongbo asked: "What do you think of tonight's performance?"

Lin Qingfeng: "It's better than expected."

Fang Yongbo: "Old Philip made fun of me."

Lin Qingfeng: "A different opinion, I like it."

Fang Yongbo: "Which piece is your favorite?"

Lin Qingfeng: "Piano Concerto."

moment.

Fang Yongbo: "What do you think of this young man Li An?"

Lin Qingfeng: "Knowing the basics, talented, polite, and sincere."

Fang Yongbo: "You speak highly of him."

Lin Qingfeng: "To be honest, he is not like the young performers I have come into contact with before."

Fang Yongbo: "What do you think of his skills compared to Wang Jinhua?"

Lin Qingfeng: "I haven't heard Ang Lee play any major works, so I can't judge. The second piece that Wang Jinhua performed in Sydney last year was really good."

Fang Yongbo: "What about music."

Lin Qingfeng: "In terms of music, Ang Lee is the most impressive young pianist I have ever heard."

Fang Yongbo: "Say."

Lin Qingfeng: "I don't like pretentiousness. There is real life in his music."

Fang Yongbo nodded with a smile and looked down at the time: "Let's go back. Pay attention to safety on the road. I'll explain it to Xiaorou tomorrow morning. Forget it, I'll send her a message."

Mentioning Xiaorou, Lin Qingfeng showed a rare tenderness on his face and said with a smile: "I have already explained it to her."

Fang Yongbo: "That's good."

Lin Qingfeng: "Then I won't go there tomorrow morning and will pick you up at noon."

Fang Yongbo: "Have a meal with your wife and children at home at noon, don't bother."

Lin Qingfeng: "Will you be there tomorrow at noon?"

Fang Yongbo: "I'll make arrangements again. Come back quickly."

Lin Qingfeng nodded and got into the car.

After watching Lin Qingfeng drive away, Fang Yongbo returned to the community and walked around alone, and then went home.

The next morning, as soon as Li An got up from bed, his cell phone rang behind him.

Chen Xuan picked up the phone in a daze and said, "Hello."

Sun Yuman's chirping voice came from the phone, like an early bird.

"Come on up." Chen Xuan put down the phone and asked Li An to put on his pants quickly.

Li An yawned and lifted up his pants: "It's only 06:30, isn't she not sleeping?"

Chen Xuan: "Probably not."

Sun Yuman not only went to bed, but also brought breakfast for the two of them.

Dang Dang Dang - there was a sound from the door in the living room.

Eighty thousand excited spirits rushed out of the bedroom.
-
Ten minutes later, Chen Xuan was the first to put down his chopsticks.

"You two eat slowly, and I'll take a shower."

While Chen Xuan was taking a bath, Li An and Sun Yuman chatted for a while about health issues.

Because Sun Yuman saw the black wolfberry on the table, "So what is this thing like?"

Li An couldn't answer this, "There is another unopened jar, take it back and try it."

Sun Yuman really didn't mean anything else. She saw her mother looking for wolfberry when she was making soup two days ago. After searching for a long time, she found that it was damp. When Li An spoke, she was not polite, "Thank you for my mother."

Ang Lee: "No thank you."

After Chen Xuan took a shower and tidied up briefly, the three of them set off for the airport.

Before going out, Li An packed up the dress he wore for last night's performance, and also put the remaining box of black wolfberry in it.

There was a slight traffic jam at around seven o'clock. Fortunately, Chen Xuan's flight was at nine o'clock. The three of them were not in a hurry. They joked all the way and arrived at the airport at eight o'clock.

"I'm leaving." After checking in her luggage, Chen Xuan was about to go through the security check.

Li An warned: "Pay attention to safety and send a letter when you land."

Chen Xuan: "Well, eat well these two days, and don't forget to contact Fang Zhi in the morning." Li An: "Well, you too, eat well and adjust your condition."

Sun Yuman: "Tsk, tsk, can you two consider the driver's feelings?"

Chen Xuan turned to Sun Yuman: "See you in Yanjing."

Sun Yuman hummed: "See you in Yanjing."

Chen Xuan stepped forward and hugged Sun Yuman, and then hugged Li An, "You two should go back quickly."

Sun Yuman: "Oh, come in quickly."

Chen Xuan nodded: "Bye."

Watching Chen Xuan enter the security check, Li An followed suit with half a heart.

He will also set off the night after tomorrow.

"Let's go, big star, we can't watch anymore."

"Walk."

The two drove back. Sun Yuman dropped Li An off on Yangchun Road. Before getting out of the car, Li An left the house keys and the box of black wolfberries in the passenger seat, "See you in Yanjing, I'll take care of you for [-] yuan."

"Alright, alright, see you in Yanjing." With a wave of his hand, Sun Yuman drove away.

Li An took the dress to the store and gave it to the counter sister for dry cleaning. After leaving the mall and watching the flow of people, he felt a little empty for a while.

It feels like a long time has passed since I woke up, and it was obviously the performance that just ended last night.

I don’t know what Fang Yongbo wants to do with him this morning.

He found an outdoor cafe and waited until [-]:[-]. Li An called Fang Yongbo.

Five seconds later, the call was connected.

"Fang Zhi."

Fang Yongbo's voice on the phone was more energetic than him, "How are you, have you rested?"

Li An smiled: "I got up at 06:30. From your voice, I must have rested."

Fang Yongbo smiled heartily: "Being young means resisting. I can't do it. I'm old. Will anything happen later? Around twelve o'clock."

Li An: "It's okay, just tell me."

Fang Yongbo: "Have a casual meal with me."

Li An: "Tell me the address and I'll go there now."

Fang Yongbo: "The Lotus Pavilion is just near Yangchun Road. Don't worry. I still have some things to finish. We'll meet at twelve o'clock."

Li An: "Okay Fangzhi, see you at twelve o'clock."

Have a meal with me?
After hanging up the phone, Li An searched the Lotus Pavilion, which was only less than 500 meters away from his feet.

54 per capita, it seems there should be no one else.

Having stepped in advance, Li An took advantage of the time he was waiting for Fang Yongbo to call home.

Lao Li was in class and didn't know what he was busy with. He hurriedly wanted to hang up after saying a few words, "Call your mother."

this father.

So Li An called An's mother again, and the mother and son chatted for about 10 minutes.

An's mother watched the video Yanzi posted in the group last night and was so excited that she stayed up most of the night.

Before hanging up the phone, An's mother kept telling An Li to take care of his health. She said again, "Work is important, but your body is even more important. Without a good body, you won't be able to do anything well."

Li An: "Don't worry, Mom, I know."

An's mother: "Mom knows that you know. Mom is just telling you, don't work too hard."

Li An: "Well, you too, you should eat and drink, don't be reluctant, just turn on the air conditioner when the room is hot, it won't cost you much electricity."

An Ma: "Don't worry, we are willing to bear it. Your father and I stewed the mutton last night with radish vermicelli."

Li An: "Okay, okay, how are my dad's legs these two days?"

An's mother: "Okay, Li Fu took me to physical therapy last week, so don't worry about us, Ang."

An's mother: "Okay, Anzi, let's stop talking. You hurry up and do your work. Tell mom what you need."

Li An: "Yeah, Mom, don't talk anymore, just call me if you need anything."

After hanging up the phone, the mother and son hung up for a minute without hanging up.

In the end, An Ma took the initiative to hang up.

Li An thought that he would have to bring the old couple to the next concert.

[-]: Ji Yang, set the time and tell me in advance.

At 11:55, Fang Yongbo appeared at the door of the Lotus Pavilion on time.

"Fang Zhi."

"Go, go in and talk."

The two of them entered the store and found an empty seat to sit down. Fang Yongbo directly waved to the waiter and ordered, "It's the same as the third child."

Li An: "You come often."

Fang Yongbo: "I have been eating it for two years. I come here the day after every performance."

At this time, the waiter brought the teapot. Li An stood up, but Fang Yongbo beat him to it, "You sit down."

Li An: "Thank you Fang Zhi."

Fang Yongbo poured tea for the two of them and said with a chuckle: "Don't point it out, I get a headache when I hear these two words."

Li An took the tea cup and said, "Brother Xie Bo," he yawned.

Fang Yongbo: "Didn't you sleep well? It seems that your mental state is not very good."

Ang Lee: "Send my girlfriend to the airport in the morning."

Fang Yongbo laughed: "I'm going to travel after watching your performance."

Ang Lee explained: "She went to compete."

Fang Yongbo reacted immediately, and his voice was a little surprised: "Fallen Bell?"

Ang Lee: "Yes."

Fang Yongbo went to the assistant hall to rehearse that afternoon, and happened to meet Li An taking his children to record, and saw Chen Xuan carrying a flute.

But he didn't expect that Li An's girlfriend was quite powerful, and she didn't dare to participate in this kind of competition for a while, "She's amazing."

Li An: "By giving me the award, you can make up for the regret. She didn't participate in the last session due to some reasons."

When Fang Yongbo heard this, he suddenly became a little curious, "Are you college classmates?"

Li An: "We met through work. She studied at the National Academy of Sciences for her undergraduate degree."

Fang Yongbo: "Xiao Hongxia's student."

Li An: "Yes, do you know Teacher Xiao?"

Fang Yongbo: "That happened many years ago. I met him at a wind music event in Yanjing when I was still at Xijiao."

After a pause, he said, "Teacher Xiao's students are all amazing."

Li An smiled shyly: "Anyway, I think she is quite powerful, better than me."

"Huh, then you two are a perfect match," Fang Yongbo raised his glass, "With tea instead of wine, I wish your girlfriend a successful start."

Li An quickly followed up with a toast: "Thank you, I will definitely convey your words to her."

Fang Yongbo: "When do you plan to get married?"

Li An smiled bitterly: "It's probably still early."

Fang Yongbo smiled: "You can afford to wait for such a good girlfriend, but others may not."

Li An nodded: "That's what you said."

While talking, Fang Yongbo took out a piano concerto score from his bag. Li An was stunned, took it and looked down.

"Boer?"

"Boer."
