Please, come home and practice the piano

"Don't tell me where I know it."

Chen Xuan said it so naturally and so cutely that Li An couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Chen Xuan was a little annoyed.

She was seriously discussing this serious issue with Li An.

She would never ask this sensitive question about anything else. She knew Li An's family situation, so she always avoided mentioning money issues with Li An.

"Okay, okay." Li An immediately put away his smile. He wanted to say that you didn't even understand my financial situation, and you were clamoring to get married as soon as possible some time ago.

But he didn't dare to say this. Although Chen Xuan was usually gentle, he could get very angry when his temper got worse.

"Listen to me, enough is enough."

Li An explained: "I won't tell you. My father gave me a bank card during the Chinese New Year this year. There are 450,000 in it. Add in the 100,000 given by Ji Yang's father, which makes it 55,000." 10,000, so don’t worry about money. "

"You want to touch the money that your uncle gave you? Actually..." Chen Xuan knew that it was the down payment that his uncle had collected to buy a house for Li An. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Li An to touch that money. She couldn't care less if her heart changed. More, "My father and mother will definitely be willing to help us."

Li Anxin was also very moved, but he couldn't let Chen Xuan's parents help him with this matter.

"Listen to me Chen Xuan, I believe my uncle and aunt are willing to help us, but that's not the case. Even if we are married now, we won't need the uncle's and aunt's money."

Chen Xuan: "What's the matter? They invest in your business and you can't just get a dividend at the end of the year."

Li An: "Don't worry, isn't there a scholar here?"

Chen Xuan remained silent at first, then asked after a moment, "Are you in a hurry?"

Li An: "The time is actually about the same. If everything goes well, the scholar's class will start in mid-to-late September. The prerequisite for the class is that students must have musical instruments. In other words, the money for the musical instruments will be available before November. It's certain that the money will arrive. It's just a matter of how much. According to our previous calculations, how much worse can it be? Right?"

"This is everything."

"Leave aside capital verification, we estimate that all expenses will require 500,000 yuan. This does not mean that we need to spend 500,000 yuan all at once. We have to do it step by step. Renting a house is the cost of renting a house, and decoration is the cost of renting a house. The money for decoration and distribution is the money for distribution. We will spend it wherever we go, and it’s already the end of September.”

"When the time comes, we will divide the money for the scholar's musical instruments and give away what we should give away. After deducting three months' salary of the teachers, the rest will be ours, right?"

Chen Xuan sighed softly: "That's what I said, but I'm still a little worried."

Li An embraced Chen Xuan and said, "In the end, there is nothing I can do. Can you wipe my butt again?"

Chen Xuan leaned on Li An and her tone softened a lot, "I want to prepare in advance. Don't you never do anything you are not prepared for? And you also want to buy a car."

Li An immediately changed to a serious tone: "You are right."

"There is really not much time left. Comrade Chen Xiaomi, you have to explain it to your uncle and aunt. You can't delay this matter any longer and prevent them from knowing about it. They must at least know about it in front of my parents."

"Besides, start preparing the language when it's time to start preparing it. Although you have learned it before, how long has it been since?"

"Now that I'm asking you to take the exam, can you still reach B1? There's also the issue of visas. I don't know much about the details of visas, so you have to take action on this matter in advance."

"As for the car, I'm just having fun with it, so I'll take my time. I've almost forgotten how to put it in gear. To be honest, I'm reluctant to buy a new car and drive it. The road conditions in Chengdu are so bad. It's going to be bumpy again." , I feel heartbroken."

Chen Xuan: "That's right. Why don't you buy a second-hand car before the time comes and practice your skills first?"

Li An: "I think it's reliable. Let's go and take a shower."

Chen Xuan: “I don’t want to wash my hair anymore.”

Li An: "Just take a shower."

After washing up, the two of them planned their itinerary for tomorrow before turning off the lights and going to sleep.
-

Early the next morning, the two of them took action after breakfast.

Chen Xuan continued to watch the art candidates practicing the flute in the morning. Li An's main task in the morning was to simulate the process of giving course introductions to the book leaders.

After sending Chen Xuan downstairs, Li An went downstairs to throw out the trash. On the way back, he went to the Beehive to pick up the express delivery that he had missed last night.

There were four express deliveries in total, one of which was a gift he bought for Chen Xuan.

Today is August 8th. On the evening of August 24th last year, the two played the role of a couple for four hours, and then today.

It can be regarded as a first-anniversary gift. The two of them made plans last night to go to Chengnan Lane to revisit it tonight.

After returning home, Li An ran the scales for an hour, then turned on the computer and went through his lesson plan.

After memorizing several key points in order, he turned on the recording on his mobile phone and started the first simulation.

Putting down his phone, Li An walked to the wall and turned to face the curtain.

Imagine that there was a conference room in front of him, with countless eyes looking at him, and then he smiled slightly and said:

"Hello everyone, my name is Li An, and I am the course leader who is cooperating with your school to develop the music and art literacy course."

After a pause, "Next, I will explain to you our curriculum implementation plan and the teaching goals for the first school year."

Half an hour later, listening to the recording, Ang Lee frowned, "No, it's too long."

When I talked about it just now, I was excited, but when I listen to it now, why is it so long?

It makes me tired to listen to it, it's like having a meeting, who likes to have meetings?

No, absolutely not.

Li An felt that he had to adjust his thinking.

Now that Xu Li has almost talked about it, which means that the person in charge has understood their courses and given their approval, is it necessary for him to go over it again in detail?

There is no need for this.

Think about the main purpose of this meeting again. Although it is to let him give lectures again, giving lectures is just a process of meeting, not the purpose of this meeting.

What is the purpose? Isn't it that as the course leader of Party B, he should get to know and become familiar with Party A's leaders and relevant staff?

Isn't this the main purpose?

When he thought of this, Li An knew better. Perhaps compared to the course, the impression he left on everyone was the most important.

Not only the leaders, but also other related teachers. Presumably the teachers who will go there will be the teachers who will work with him in the future.

To put it bluntly, sometimes it is more important to leave a good influence on the people below. The leaders can also come to check on the progress of the club's work every day. Aren't they all teachers below?

If he were one of these teachers and was called to a meeting even though school hadn't started yet, and then had to listen to an unknown person nagging him for a long time, he would definitely have complaints in his heart.

People who run associations make money, but it’s not them who earn money, they just work normally.

Although work must be done seriously, responsibly and patiently, Li An was not sure that these teachers also had such an attitude.

It's different from him giving a concert. If he plays the piano up there, at least the people below are willing to come and listen.

And so what if he is a performer? He has a bad relationship with these teachers below, so he has to correct his position. I am here as a course leader. I am very sorry today for occupying everyone. time.

The change in mentality made Li An seem to get the key to this encounter.

Well, first of all, he must lower his posture and not use the conference room as a stage.

Secondly, lowering his posture does not mean lowering his state. On the contrary, he has to show his performance state and control the rhythm, so that every teacher can feel his confidence in the course.

Finally, he planned to limit the introduction time to 10 minutes.

This time is neither long nor short, enough for everyone to listen patiently, and almost enough for him to finish explaining the highlights of the course.

Quickly sitting in front of the computer, Li An extracted the core content he had to say from the text version of the course introduction based on what he had just practiced and time, and deleted everything else.

Ten minutes later, he went through the course introduction again, made slight modifications, turned on the recording, and came to the wall for the second time.

"Good morning, teachers. My name is Li An, and I am the course leader who is cooperating with your school to develop the music and art literacy course."

After a pause, "I will take ten minutes to report to all teachers on our curriculum implementation plan and teaching goals for the first school year."

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. After practicing and revising over and over again, he finally controlled the course introduction to nine minutes and fifty-five seconds.

"It's very strong."

After talking non-stop all morning, Li An's mouth was dry. He took a sip of water in the living room. When he returned to the study, he saved the final course introduction and sent it to his mailbox. Xu Li called him at noon and made a reservation at the conference room of the Shuren North District Art Teaching Center at nine o'clock in the morning on the 26th. "I will pick you up then."

"OKok, Sister Xu, I just refined the course introduction. You can help me check it again. In addition, I am thinking of making a few copies and binding them. When the time comes, I will tell you that it will be convenient for teachers to have a text version."

After hanging up the phone, Li An sent the document to Xu Li. Within five minutes, Xu Li's WeChat message came: I'm going to make copies, so you don't have to worry about it. I'll be downstairs at 8:15 the day after tomorrow.

81,000: Okay, Sister Xu, see you in the morning the day after tomorrow.

The 26th is fine, so he doesn't have to change his class time.

The book writer’s time has also been finalized, and Li An thinks it’s time to book a ticket home.

After confirming with Chen Xuan, Li An booked two train tickets to Lanshi at 28: noon on the th, arriving at pm.

If we take a taxi back to Yucheng, we will have to arrive home at 10pm at the earliest.

If the time could be changed, Li An wouldn't want to go back so late, but there was no other way. He had to attend Ji Yang's college entrance banquet.

Just leave it at that.

"Hey Mom." Li An called An's mother.

"Has your son eaten?"

"You haven't eaten yet, wait and see. Have you eaten?"

"Your dad works the day shift. I just ate some noodles in the morning. I'm not hungry. You didn't go to work today."

"No, Chen Xuan went by herself in the morning. I had other things to do so I didn't go."

"Oh, what did she eat? Did she eat takeout?"

"Oh, her, don't worry about her. Just deal with her downstairs."

"That's better than eating takeout."

"Yes, mom, let me tell you something."

"Ang Ang, tell me."

"Mom, I have to go home on the 28th."

On the other end of the phone, An's mother's tone changed when she heard that her son was coming back, "Why is he coming back all of a sudden?"

"I'm going to inspect the musical instrument factory of a friend of Teacher Qi. I'll be there until the 1st at most and I have to come back quickly."

"Okay, Mom knows. If you want to eat anything, don't tell Mom."

"Mom, please wait a moment. Chen Xuan will go back with me this time."
-

After making some lunch, Li An ate and slept for a while. He woke up and changed into handsome clothes. He took the gift prepared for Chen Xuan and the wine Lin Yan gave him last night and went to the Art Examination Department. .

On the way, he sent Qin Yong a message, and Qin Yong sent him a photo of a cigarette box with Qin Yong's desk in the background.

At noon today, Qin Yong and his enrollment team just came back. It is said that the harvest is not bad.

After getting out of the elevator on the eighth floor, Li An took the wine directly to Qin Yong's office.

The two, who had not seen each other for a long time, chatted for a long time. Li An made it clear that he would not want any more students. Qin Yong could understand.

When talking about opening a school, Qin Yong was not surprised to learn that Li An finally decided to only do piano training, "Do you have any ideas about the location?"

This question touched Li An's heart, "Please give me some ideas."

Qin Yong: "You can give me a few positions for reference."

Li An: "When Chen Xuan and I rented a house, didn't we also consider setting up a studio at home? You know those three places, but we finally chose Meizhuang."

Qin Yong joked: "You are really good at choosing. It will save you a lot of trouble when you go to work in the future."

Li An: "Hey, who would have thought that this would happen? If you want to thank me, you have to thank Director Dong. In the end, he signed and gave Wang Xiaohu to me."

Qin Yong: "Hey."

After a meal, "Meizhuang is in a good location, with mature community facilities, many schools, high-end communities and business districts covering a wide area. In the past two years, Blue Sky wanted to open a campus on Tianhu Avenue."

Upon hearing the words "Tianhu Avenue", Li An didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother, you are absolutely right. I know that's good, but the rent is too expensive. I checked that day and found out that the location is a little worse. The upper and lower floors are less than 200 square meters and the monthly rent is over yuan. , a good location can go up to yuan, I can’t afford it.”

“And there are very few listings.”

Qin Yong: "Nonsense, which good location has more housing?"

moment, "What's the budget."

Ang Lee: "Thirty."

Qin Yong: "Then finish smoking this one and leave."

Ang Lee: "Fifty."

Qin Yong hesitated for a moment and took another one: "Can I add more?"

Li An: "Seventy, let me know."

Qin Yong: "Don't be anxious, choose your position slowly, it will definitely be enough in the first year,"

Ang Lee: "Are you going to pursue investment in the second year?"

Qin Yong: "It's hard to say. It depends on the specific situation."

If there is a need to pursue investment in the second year, Li An actually doesn't have much pressure. Guang Rongai's performance fee next year is guaranteed at 20 yuan. He is not worried. It's just that he wants to pursue the investment under any circumstances. He wants to have a good relationship with Qin Yong. please teach me.

Qin Yong did this in Yanjing, and his experience is much richer than that of ordinary people in the industry.

"Two more drinks tonight." Qin Yong invited.

Li An: "It's not convenient for me today, it's our anniversary."

Qin Yongle: "I heard from Panpan that the meeting with my father-in-law went smoothly."

Li An was also happy: "It went well, it's only been two days, and I plan to take her back before school starts."

Qin Yong: "Good guys, you two are going to be together soon."

Li An vomited and did not answer, "When I come back from Yucheng, have a good drink, and take a leave by the way."

Ask for leave? Qin Yong didn't even react just now. He's going to take the exam in two days, so he's going to leave again.

"It's really fucking frustrating for me to criticize this fake person."

"Didn't I bring you all the wine?"

"As I said, I was waiting here."

"Hahaha, I'm going to see Fang Zheng and Panpan. I'm sorry I haven't seen them for half a month. You're busy."

With that said, Li An patted his butt and walked away.

After Li An left, Qin Yong thought deeply. Seven hundred thousand is really a lot.

In fact, he just wanted to suggest that Li An inquire about the right one, which could really save a lot of money.

Based on this year's situation, if someone is willing to take over at this time, at least half of the training institutions in Chengdu will have to make a fortune and move abroad, including many high-end ones.

But if he were Ang Lee, he would only take over existing stores and would never take over transfers.

So this kind of thing is hard to find.

But if you find it, you can save on decoration and fire protection, at least a large part of it.
