Please, come home and practice the piano

Ang Lee walked into the lobby of Giger Hotel, and there was the sound of piano.

Yuan Xiaoyu is hosting tonight's salon event. A group of people are gathered around the piano. A man in his thirties is sitting in front of the piano, playing Bach.

Yuan Xiaoyu saw Li An wave his hand, Li An pointed at the ceiling with a smile, and Yuan Xiaoyu's attention returned to the event.

Li An took out his ID card and came to the front desk, "Check in."

"Sir, please wait a moment." The new receptionist took Li An's ID card and swiped it. He suddenly showed a surprised expression, and then looked at Li An with an even more respectful expression.

"Hello sir, please brush your face here."

After swiping his face, Li An took the ID card and room card handed over by the front desk with both hands, nodded, "Thank you," and then turned and walked towards the elevator door.

It was convenient after all for a friend who owned a hotel. When he got out of the elevator, Li An sent a message to Boss X.

After entering the room, he hung up his bag, sat by the bed and sent another voice message to Ji Yang.

Finally, I replied to Chen Xuan’s message: I have entered the house.

The first of the three to reply to him was Ji Yang.

Ji Yang's voice reply was a little noisy and had a little echo, as if he could still hear the delicate laughter of two other children in the corridor.

‘Teacher, we have just finished. Xiaobei is awesome tonight. I will send you the video later. Is it going well with you? ’

After hearing that everything went well for Xiaobei, Li An replied: Everything goes well. Give them a call after they are settled.

Then Li An received the video of Xiaobei's performance tonight, clicked it and listened to it again. Li An was very satisfied with it.

Everything that needs to be done has been done, and there is no wrong tone or wrong rhythm. The most rare thing is that Xiaobei's performance in the video is better than when he was recording. You must know that there was no one in the audience during the recording.

A more stable mentality will produce more focused music, and Xiaobei has improved again.

it is good.

Another two minutes passed and Xiao Ji called. Li An came to the window to answer, "Hello."

"teacher."

"What did you do this afternoon?"

"After you left, we played for a while. We played cards with Tang Xiaoxing and the others, and finally played Werewolf for a while. Then we went to eat. After dinner, I accompanied Che Lin and Xiaobei back to change clothes. Until the end of the concert just now.”

"How do the other kids play?"

"It was all good, except that the last child was not feeling well and could not come on stage, so Teacher Chen came on stage to play the farewell etude for him."

"How is Teacher Chen playing Chopin?"

"Excellent. By the way, teacher, didn't you ask me to tell them about Xiaoxiao Sai? Linlin said she wanted to participate."

"She said it herself?"

"Well, Wang Xiaohu and Liu Fengrui later said they wanted to participate."

"They can try in the amateur group." After a pause, he said, "Ji Yang, keep an eye on them and get them to rest early today. Tomorrow morning Professor Anna will talk about the origins of the Russian piano, and take them to have a good listen, especially you, Ang."

"Okay teacher, you should also go to bed early. I wish Sister Chen good luck in the competition tomorrow."

"Thank you. Go back to the house. If anything happens, contact me as soon as possible."

"Okay, good night, teacher."

After ending Ji Yang's call, Li An sent another message to Chen Xuan and then took a shower.

After I came out and dried my hair, I still didn’t see any movement from the other party.

Probably fell asleep.

Li An didn't plan to wake up Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan called half an hour later.

"I fell asleep," Che Chenxuan's drowsy voice came from the phone. She had just sent a message to Li An to take a shower, and then she fell asleep on the bed.

"Go and wash up," they chatted briefly. When Chen Xuan came back from washing, the two started a video call.
-
  After tonight's meal, the two young faces in the video each showed their own sense of relaxation.

They talked about dinner, tomorrow's game, and the next step in their work.

The same topic has a different state of mind, and both people can feel a new power from each other.

Li An joked that he could go to the beach to eat seafood during the Chinese New Year this year. Then the pressure seemed to come to Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan did not avoid it. The two directly agreed to fly directly from Yanshi to Yu during the Chinese New Year before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. city.

"After getting off the plane, I had to wait for the bus, and then it took a long time to get to Yucheng."

"That's great. We can walk back. It's best if there's still snow on the ground. It'll squeak when you step on it."

"Then expect a lot of snow."

“Looking forward to a heavy snowfall!”

At this moment, other players are looking forward to a smooth sailing in tomorrow's game, but Chen Xiaomi's heart has already flown to the heavy snow in the northwest.
-
  Early the next morning, Li An rushed to the Nanmen Hotel at nine o'clock sharp as agreed with Chen Xuan.

After having breakfast with a family of three, he smoked a cigarette with Lao Chen in the lobby.

When we met again today, Li An could clearly feel that Lao Chen's attitude towards him was different from yesterday. He couldn't tell the specific difference. What he could feel was that there was something more in Lao Chen's eyes that was not there yesterday. Kindness.

Continuing the topic of breakfast just now, Lao Chen once again told An Li to think about failure first in the early stages of starting a business, "Don't think about making money first."

"If you fail, what do you need to bear? Can you bear it?"

Facing Lao Chen's preaching tone, Li An nodded humbly, "That's what uncle said."

Old Chen dusted off his cigarette ashes and continued: "I don't know how to do courses, but one thing is that your courses will eventually be introduced to the market. The courses you mentioned yesterday for different learning groups sound very good, from early childhood to early childhood. It can be used by adults, but I suggest you think about it based on your own situation and the overall market environment."

Based on his own situation and the market environment, Li An thought for a moment and nodded again.

Lao Chen: "In partnership business, one person is for private purposes and two people are for public interests. If you want to form a partnership, write it down in black and white, and say ugly things up front. But before that, you must clearly understand the purpose of the partnership and the negative risks that the partnership will bring. Most of them will be bad. I want to understand?"

Li An: "Think about defeat first."

Old Chen smiled and put out the cigarette butt: "Come up quickly, you guys hurry up, I think we can have a quick lunch at the door, right?"

Li An: "According to my uncle's arrangement, I estimate that her three pieces of music lasted almost two hours. That's what I thought. In the morning, we played the music. After lunch, she and I found a place to get together again, and then we went The game scene.”

Lao Chen: "Okay, let's arrange it like this. When you want to eat, you can tell your aunt at the right time, and we will order the meal in advance."

Li An took the opportunity to take out his mobile phone and said, "Uncle didn't have time to add you to WeChat last night."

Lao Chen took out his mobile phone and the two of them added each other's WeChat messages and left their phone numbers. "Go and do your work. Let's go for a walk."
-
  After Li An went upstairs, Lao Chen clicked on Li An's circle of friends for a while. There were performances, concerts, and promotions for various activities. It was pretty much what he expected. The online name was [-]. , I don’t know what it means.

It doesn’t matter, there’s nothing wrong with having a little personality when doing art.

While flipping through Lao Chen, he also found a lot of friends circles where Li An and Chen Xuan went out to play and eat. He was very happy to see these fulfilling scenes. Normally, he would hardly see Chen Xuan posting these things. If it weren't for After adding Li An on WeChat, he didn't even know that the two of them had quite a fulfilling spare time life.

After a while, Song Lian came out of the elevator and saw Old Chen himself, "Li An is up?"

Lao Chen nodded: "Let them hurry up."

Song Lian: "What did you two say again?"

Lao Chen: "Just chatting for a few words."

Why did Song Lian not believe it so much: "I'm telling you, young people have their own ideas, so don't just take it out on yourself and cause trouble."

Lao Chen curled his lips and said to himself that I didn't say anything, "Let's go, let's go."
-
  Sixth floor, Chen Xuan's room.

It was pretty much what Ang Lee expected, it was quite chaotic.

"Fold your clothes after wearing them. It's not like there aren't hooks on the wall."

As Li An picked up the T-shirt beside the bed, Chen Xuan jumped on Li An's back from behind and whispered, "I'm not waiting for you to clean it up for me."

The next second they fell neatly on the bed. "No, no, no, no, my uncle and aunt are still here."

"My mother just went down and they went out for a walk."

Confirmed eyes.
-
  Half an hour later, the two came out of the bathroom, and Chen Xuan felt refreshed.

"He's just like that, talking to everyone in that manner, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I think uncle is right," Li An bent down to pick up the pants on the floor, "You should really consider the worst outcome first."

He paused and said, "In the past two days, I have been imagining the scene of waves of students rushing to sign up for classes after Shuren opens. What if there are only a few students who sign up for classes by then? What if Shuren We haven’t talked about it yet.”

Chen Xuan: "I don't think the problem is big. Has Sister Xu not contacted you yet?"

Li An: "She is having dinner with the person in charge in the afternoon. Don't worry about other things first. Get dressed quickly. My uncle and I agreed that we will go down for dinner in two hours. It has already been forty minutes."

Chen Xuan: "Ah? Didn't you mean to talk for two hours?"

Ang Lee: "I called the police."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Chen Xuan smiled tremblingly, trembling like the trills at the beginning of the first movement of Mozart K314, elegant and round.

In fact, both of them knew that one hour would be enough to organize the three rounds of competition repertoire.

It’s just that Ang Lee always leaves a little more time.

"bring it on."

Chen Xuan changed her clothes and took out the flute.
-
  If the first and second rounds examine the grasp of flute style genres, then the third round is an all-round test.

Mozart's Flute Concerto in D major, K.314, is a touchstone for flutists. All contestants who enter the third round only have to play one work.

If you want to enter the finals, you must win absolutely on this track.

An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Xuan played the flute. In the restaurant next to the hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Chen had been waiting for twenty minutes, and they had their meal directly when they packed up and arrived.

After the meal, they agreed to meet in front of the hotel at [-]:[-], and Li An and Chen Xuan went to the Giger Art Gallery.

Yuan Xiaoyu has reserved a rehearsal space for the two of them in advance.

Intense rehearsals began.

At two o'clock, Chen Xuan received a call from Sun Yuman.

At [-]:[-], the two left the Giger Art Gallery and returned to the hotel door. Sun Yuman was already chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Chen.

It was rare that Miss Sun didn't take advantage of the atmosphere to make a joke today. She greeted the two and took the flute box from Chen Xuan's hand. She said like an old lady, "Check the things again."

"Mom, didn't you take out the things in the bag?" Chen Xuan asked.

Song Lian: "It has been in my hands and no one has touched it."

Here Li An stepped forward and took Song Lian's black bag and checked it again, "No problem."

"That's alright," Old Chen clapped his hands, "You three go first, we'll wait and get a taxi."

When they separated and met again, the game was over. Lao Chen took two steps forward to cheer for his daughter and said, "We have come this far. Just show your best. Don't think about anything else."

Song Lian came closer, took her daughter's right hand and patted it gently, her eyes full of encouragement.

Chen Xuan responded to her parents' concern with a calm smile, and said easily, "Don't worry, let's go," and then got into the car.

"Uncle and auntie, see you later." Sun Yuman got into the car immediately.

After the two girls got in the car, Li An finally said: "Uncle and aunt, I will send them there first."

Song Lian: "Yeah, let's go quickly. We'll contact you later."

Lao Chen nodded and said nothing. He watched Li An get into the car and then went upstairs with Song Lian.

Just as the old couple went upstairs, several children in Norton Manor were begging Senior Sister Ji Yang and expressed their desire to watch Teacher Chen's game.

Ji Yang told everyone not to worry, "It won't start until half past four. Let's have a good class first, and we'll watch it together after class."

Forty minutes later, the screen flashed, and on the live broadcast screen of the official website of the event, the third round of the [-]th Fallen Bell International Track Competition was shining with golden light.

Different from the closed competition venues in the first two rounds, there is an extra piano on the stage today. At the same time, there will be [-] live audiences and [-] judges to witness the birth of the seven finalists.

The theme of today's competition is Mozart's Flute Concerto Competition, with fourteen going to seven.

There was still an hour before the on-site draw. Occasionally, one or two staff members passed by the camera, and there was a burst of noise from the speakers.

In the concert hall on the eighth floor of Yudong, Qin Yong organized students to watch today's game. In addition to Wang Panpan and Deng Shiqi, there were also Xu Hongxin and Ma Tao, two veterans of the former west side office.

A few people were sitting in the last row chatting and waiting.

Ma Tao: "The people who do it are really nervous."

Xu Hongxin: "I don't know what's going on at the scene. Brother An probably doesn't have time to look at his phone."

At this moment, "The boss group responded to the message." Wang Panpan said suddenly.

Everyone picked up their mobile phones to open the group and clicked on the short video sent by Li An. The video showed a small dressing room. Chen Xuan had changed into a dress and Sun Yuman was applying makeup to Chen Xuan.

As the camera turned to Chen Xuan's face, Chen Xuan smiled and waved to the camera.

"Let's record one too."

Wang Panpan turned on the selfie mode and stretched out her arms to spin in a circle, "Come on, sister Xuan!"

Ma Tao: "Come on, sister Xuan!"

Xu Hongxin: "Come on, Sister Xuan!"

Deng Shiqi: "Come on, sister Xuan!"

Qin Yong, who was walking over, also showed his face and said, "Come on, Teacher Chen!"

Finally, Wang Panpan turned the camera to the front of the auditorium, raised her hand to the crowd of art candidates who turned their heads, and the children shouted in unison: "Come on, Teacher Chen!!"

Among them, Luo Xiaoran and Yu Xiaolu were the loudest.

It can be seen that the children are very happy at the moment. How can they not be happy without going to class? However, there are also quite a few children who really want to watch this game.

Teacher Chen Xuan is the goddess of their Blue Sky Art Examination Department! -
  Backstage at the Poly Theater, in the dressing room, Chen Xuan looked at the smiling faces in the video and listened to the cheers, feeling indescribably moved.

Obviously, this includes almost all her experiences during the year and a half she has lived in Chengdu.

Even without Ang Lee, she still made such a group of lovely friends.

‘Thank you everyone, I’m going to draw lots! ’

Clicking send, Chen Xuan handed the phone to Li An.

Five minutes later, before the contestants entered the gate, Chen Xuan hugged Sun Yuman, and then hugged Li An.

"Wait for you."

"Ah."

Letting go of Li An, Chen Xuan left with her flute bag and Ye Xinyi. The two walked towards the entrance gate. I don't know what Ye Xinyi said in Chen Xuan's ear. Then they both covered their mouths and laughed.

Looking at the backs of the two, Sun Yuman sighed: "At the critical moment, we have to rely on our Huaguo Academy."

Li An nodded: "I don't know how to refute."

Among the fourteen players who entered the third round, there were only two Chinese players left, both of whom came from Teacher Xiao.
