Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 713 411. Journey Narrative Ninety-Eight: On the Speed ​​of Women’s Face Changing

Facts prove that women change their faces very quickly~

When Chen Xuan learned about the latest progress of her cooperation with the calligrapher, the golden light in her eyes seemed to illuminate every corner of the private room.

"Really?!"

"real."

Without adding any embarrassment, Li An explained in detail what he had communicated with Xu Li on the phone.

Song Lian couldn't help but be happy after hearing this: "Now you will be even busier when you go back."

Although Lao Chen was also happy for the two of them, he still told Li An to be careful in everything.

Li An: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention."

Lao Chen raised his glass: "Then I will also raise a glass and wish you success in negotiating the school."

The five people toasted again.

"Thank you uncle."

"Thank you Chen Ke."

"you."

"Haha, I would like to borrow my uncle's good words and wish our Teacher Chen and Teacher Li success in winning the Book Man."

"Eat quickly, eat more today," Song Lian put down the wine glass and asked everyone to stop talking.

Chen Xuan gave Sun Yuman a piece of pork belly and asked Li An: "The instruments must be prepared in advance."

"There's no rush," Li An said, standing up and filling Lao Chen and Song Lian's glasses. Then he sat down and used serving chopsticks to give each of them a piece of roast beef. "Uncle and auntie, eat more, too." We didn’t eat much for lunch, it’s been another day.”

Seeing Li An's actions, Song Lianxiao's eyes almost narrowed into slits, "You eat what you have, don't worry about us."

Lao Chen also nodded and fed Li An's beef into his mouth, "Don't worry about us, you can talk about yourselves."

Song Lian: "That's right, you can talk about whatever you need to talk about."

Sun Yuman saw the opportunity and took over, "Where do you plan to buy the instruments from?"

Li An didn't plan to tell the story during the meal, just to avoid this scene. Today's protagonist is not him.

Seeing that the opening has reached this point, Chen Xuan also looked impatient, so let's talk about it, "It hasn't been decided yet. There are currently three sources of supply. When the time comes, I will have to check the quality of the instrument first, and then compare the quotes."

Sun Yuman: "I know an agent from Yamah. If you need it, I'll ask you when the time comes."

Ang Lee: "Ignore branded musical instruments for now."

Sun Yuman: "I understand."

Song Lian: "Wouldn't the quality of branded instruments be better?"

Li An: "That's it, Auntie. The quality of musical instruments mainly depends on the materials and production processes. The quality of branded musical instruments is guaranteed to a certain extent, but in recent years, the quality control of some brands has become worse and worse, and the brand premium has become more and more serious. , so for children in the beginning stage, it is not the best choice to recommend them to use branded instruments from the beginning. Spending thousands may not be able to buy a satisfactory instrument. If you buy it back, your child will not learn after a while. , it’s not even a decoration at home.”

Song Lian: "That's true."

Chen Xuan: "Tsk, tsk, parents don't do anything when they meet Teacher Li."

Song Lian pouted: "How to talk."

Chen Xuan smiled: "Mom, do you know the price we pay for the most common domestic flute?"

Lao Chen: "What's the price?"

Chen Xuan: "300 to 1000, that's the price."

Song Lian nodded: "The profit is really not low."

Chen Xuan: "The relative prices of imported musical instruments are much more transparent, so if we make imported musical instruments, the profit is relatively low, and we have to share it with the school."

Li An: "That's what I say, but we have to consider the needs of the children themselves and the demands of the parents. It is said that children who can petition people have money at home and are not short of money, but the money in their families is not strong. It’s coming, right?”

"We will definitely have to fight for the money, but we have to make it clear to the parents, because collective purchasing is inherently very sensitive, and the bookkeeper is a private school."

"First of all, we allow parents to bring their own musical instruments for their children. We need to make this clear to parents."

"Secondly, we not only allow it, but also support it with practical actions. We specially provide parents with a detailed introduction to the brands and models of musical instruments, and provide reference prices, in addition to channels and after-sales."

"We are not responsible for after-sales. We have already mentioned the issue of quality control. If the recommendation channel is suspected of receiving kickbacks, we are not exempt from this. We help parents choose musical instruments for their children throughout the entire process."

“Finally, parents can also choose our collective purchasing agency.”

Sun Yuman: ".It can't be like this."

Ang Lee: “What is the first step for a child to learn the oboe?”

Sun Yuman: "Play the flute."

Ang Lee: "No, I need an oboe."

Sun Yuman: "Yes."

Chen Xuan: "What if some parents don't buy your account? They take advantage of you and ask you every day, but they just don't buy from you."

Li An: "I don't know if he took advantage, but I know that I don't suffer. Children enroll in studies from me. Isn't it right for me to provide consulting services? I am a teacher, not a businessman."

"So the point can only be that the child needs an instrument."

Lao Chen nodded.

Chen Xuan suddenly smiled slyly, "It seems that Teacher Li has done his homework."

Li An waved his hand, "No, no, it's not even close. My uncle and aunt are making fun of me. It's my first time too, so I still have to rely on your guidance."

Lao Chen had a few points he wanted to emphasize again, but after listening to Li An's last two sentences, he had nothing to add. He commented with a smile: "It's good. If I were a parent, I would buy from you. I feel in my heart Be grounded.”

Song Lian: "We don't understand either. Just do what you think. Like your uncle said, be more careful."

Ang Lee: "Yeah!"

Chen Xuan: "Mom, don't worry about him. He has eight hundred tricks."

Li An smiled bitterly: "I didn't offend you today, did I?"

Hahaha--

Amidst the laughter, Chen Xuan's cell phone rang again, and it was her cousin Zhou Yaqiong's call.
-

At Norton Manor, the children have successfully concluded their last teacher-student concert.

Tomorrow night will be replaced by a group dumpling-making activity, and the day after tomorrow they will start a two-day trip to Yanjing, so tonight should be fun, but the children in piano classroom No. 4 can't cheer up.

Because their teacher Chen did not enter the finals.

Xiao Ji didn't know how to comfort everyone. She herself was a little confused. She really hoped that Sister Chen could enter the finals, but she fell one place short.

"Okay, let's all go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow is the last day of classes, so everyone needs to cheer up."

After a pause, "Mr. Chen may come back with the teacher tomorrow, and no one is allowed to mention the competition then. Do you hear me?"

The children nodded.

After Wang Xiaohu and the three boys left, Xiao Che returned to his bedside and took out a medal book and flipped through it. Xiao Bei came over and asked, "Lin Lin, how many medals have you collected?"

The car counted: "Eighteen."

Xiaobei let out a wow, and then said somewhat dejectedly: "I only have eleven."

Seeing that Che Lin was about to tear off the medal from her book, Xiao Bei quickly stopped her: "No, Lin Lin, you earned this, I can't take it."

As he spoke, Xiaobei clenched his fists and said, "There is still one last day. I will try to get another one tomorrow. My lucky number is twelve."

Xiao Che bared his teeth and said, "What if I got two." Xiao Bei thought for a while and said, "Then I'll give one to the teacher. The teacher seems to have only gotten two. It's so pitiful."

Xiaoche: "I also want to give one to the teacher."

Xiaobei: "Then we agreed, each of us will give one to the teacher."

Car: "Yeah!"

Xiaobei clapped his hands happily, "I'm going to get dressed."

With that said, he skipped towards the bathroom.

Looking at Xiaobei's back, Ji Yang smiled happily.

In just a few days, Xiaobei, who didn't even know how much laundry detergent to pour on the first day, has taken the initiative to wash camp clothes by hand in the past two days, which has really improved a lot.

"Linlin, why did the medal book suddenly appear?" Ji Yang walked over and asked the car.

Xiaoche: "Sister, I also want to give one to Teacher Chen."

So that's it. Ji Yang nodded. In the afternoon, Xiao Che quietly told her that he wanted to give one to the teacher, "Let me think about it."

For a moment, Ji Yang had an idea.
-

Time flew by and it was almost eleven o'clock. The waiter came to the private room and asked if he needed more orders. The kitchen was about to get off work.

Li An: "Uncle and aunt, let's meet again"

"No more, thank you." There was still less than half of the food on the table, so Chen Xuan interrupted Li An to signal to the waiter.

From the cousin's phone call to future personal plans, the topic in the second half returned to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan said that she would also start to recharge her batteries, and received unanimous support, especially from Ang Lee. He could tell that Chen Xuan was probably stimulated by this competition.

good thing.

After the waiter left, Lao Chen continued: "You should learn more from Li An in this aspect."

Chen Xuan: "Okay."

Sun Yuman: "Hahaha."

"Farewell, uncle." Li An was interrupted again, and Lao Chen continued: "Let's learn together and make progress together, okay."

Ang Lee: "Okay."

Lao Chen: "It's getting late. Let's stop here today. Yuman will come over tomorrow at noon if nothing happens. I'll have a meal with your aunt and talk about you all the time."

Sun Yuman nodded obediently: "Uncle and aunt, when do you plan to go back?"

Lao Chen: "Let's talk about this later. Come on."

After drinking a glass of wine, the five people packed up and left the private room. Lao Chen went to pay the bill. After leaving the restaurant, he asked Li An and Chen Xuan to see Sun Yuman off, "We are going back too."

Sun Yuman: "Uncle and aunt, see you tomorrow."

Song Lian waved: "See you tomorrow."

"Yuman will definitely come over tomorrow if nothing happens," Lao Chen said, and finally added in the direction of Li An and Chen Xuan, "If you want to hang around and have fun, just go and don't worry about us, we will go up and sleep first. "

Song Lian: "Pay attention to safety."

Chen Xuan nodded: "Mom, you go up first."

Li An waved: "Goodbye, uncle and aunt."

Watching the old couple leave, Sun Yuman showed a playful smile: "Tsk, tsk, Teacher Li has got the pass."

Chen Xuan: "Keep your voice down!"

Ang Lee: "."

Sun Yuman: "Haha, okay, you two, hurry up and go to the world of two. I'll be there in two steps. Also, I'll come over at noon tomorrow and then leave. You guys should talk to your uncle and aunt more. If you don't have anything else to do, Don’t let them waste time here.”

After saying that, he turned around and waved, imitating Song Lian's tone, "Be careful."

Chen Xuan: "Send me a message when you arrive."

But the response was a distant voice, "Good night, baby, you are the best."

Looking at Sun Yuman's chic back fading away, Li An couldn't help but wonder, how many such friends do you make in your life?

After watching Sun Yuman leave, Chen Xuan looked at Li An: "Shall we go up too?"

Li An licked his lips: "I'm still a little nervous."

Chen Xuan: "Didn't Xiaoyu tell you everything? Didn't Teacher Li get the pass?"

When Chen Xuan said the same words in a calm tone, it was a different feeling. For a moment, the fire in Li An's heart was aroused again, "You just drank two and a half bottles."

Chen Xuan smiled: "I remember someone specifically reminded me that I only had two bottles."

The evening breeze is also sultry.
-

Facts once again proved how quickly a woman can change her face. When he came out of the bathroom cautiously, Li An found that Chen Xuan, who had come out early, had dressed and sat cross-legged on the sofa by the window, with a mobile phone in her hand and no alcohol on her face. The flush afterwards.

After receiving the signal, Teacher Li also put on his pants and sat on the sofa on one side, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Chen Xuan clicked twice on her phone, "Done."

"The tickets have been booked for them, tomorrow at 3:30 pm."

Ang Lee: "Isn't it too hasty?"

Chen Xuan: "There's nothing going on if they stay here. Let them go back quickly. My mother's workplace is full of problems."

Li An: "That's right. Let's go directly to my place after seeing off my uncle and aunt tomorrow. There happens to be a group activity tomorrow night. Let's play with the children and you can also relax."

Speaking of the children, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a little more cheerful. She hadn't seen the children for a while, "Li An, I want to make a plan to practice flute after I go back this time."

Ang Lee: “It’s really exciting.”

Chen Xuan: "Yeah."

Ang Lee: "Is there any direction?"

Chen Xuan: "A few, I have to summarize this competition carefully first."

Ang Lee: "I understand. Actually, I still want to say that there is no harm in trying more. Even from the perspective of teachers and the orchestra, we cannot impose our own preferences on students, nor can we ignore the conductor's preferences. "

"The conductor wants a Mozart-style flute solo today, right?"

Chen Xuan: "Yes, I was thinking about these two points backstage this afternoon. I really didn't realize it at all before. I have always been too unique when it comes to blowing things."

Ang Lee: "This is actually an advantage. It can only be said that you need a little balance and can be considered a qualified stage performer if you can do it with ease in all aspects."

“It’s part of your role as a stage performer to consider the audience’s feelings, and you need to prepare yourself to become a professional soloist.”

Chen Xuan smiled: "You should go back to Yucheng in a while."

Li An: "Well, Mr. Lu is mainly a piano player. I actually don't have much knowledge in my heart. Although Boss Yang started his career as a wind instrument, I have to go back and inspect it myself. I can't be careless about musical instruments. If he The quality of the instruments there is above par, I would like to consider it."

"He wants to open up markets outside the province, and he will definitely take care of us in terms of price when the time comes, so everyone can get what they need."

Chen Xuan: "I'll go back with you."

Li An: "Huh?"
