Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 754 13. Only %? All Li An’s assumptions about Xu Li

Listen to the tone and look at the expression.

Anyone present would feel that Ang Lee spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Including Xu Li and Liu Zhen, everyone in the conference room had a new understanding of Li An.

What kind of person can receive such words so calmly at such a moment?

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

Half an hour later, Li An and Xu Li, accompanied by Liu Zhen, visited the North Campus and the Concert Hall.

An hour later, the two parties returned to the conference room again. Zheng Tieming brought the newly drafted contract. After each inspection, it was written in black and white. The two parties signed the contract. The contract will last for one year and will take effect on September 2022, 9.

After signing the contract, Zheng Tieming sent the two of them off.

The incident happened suddenly, and no one expected that Liu Zhen would end up tricking them. Under the circumstances at that time, no one else could shake their heads, even though Liu Zhen spoke in a consultative tone.

At this time, the waiter brought a bowl of hot boiled fish and said, "Please use it slowly."

"I have the same idea." Xu Li took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick box beside her.

Xu Li: "Too straightforward."

Xu Li drove the two of them to find a fly restaurant near Meizhuang.

Li An pondered for a moment, "Sister Xu, please help me collect a detailed information about Liu Zhen as soon as possible, including his family members and his usual hobbies. According to Uncle Yue's general policy, we will take our time after the contract is signed. "

The two of them laughed as they said that. Through the full cooperation at the meeting, the feeling between the two of them has indeed changed a bit. They no longer feel like teachers and parents, but more like colleagues.

Xu Li: "Would you rather take a walk?"

Xu Lizheng said as Li An waved her hand to interrupt, "Don't say that. Without the help of you and Uncle-in-law, I wouldn't even have a chance to meet Liu Zhen. We should celebrate the contract signing at noon."

Li An: "What can this person say? It's okay."

"Let's talk about the closer ones first." Xu Li didn't answer. She picked up two steaming fish and put them on the plate in front of her. After a moment, "Liu Zhen, what do you think?"

Xu Li: "I was wondering if this was the reason just now."

Ang Lee: *******-

Back in the car, Xu Li called Uncle Yue.

"Thank you."

Li An took the chopsticks and said, "So should we discuss the distribution issue in advance now?"

Li An: "This won't work. You can't just let it go. I can't handle it alone."

Li An: "It has nothing to do with you. Liu Zhen is not one of our own."

Xu Li didn't expect that Li An had already planned so far, "What do you mean?"

Xu Li: "Okay."

"You two can just discuss it." Uncle Yue told the two of them not to rush. His voice on the phone sounded quite leisurely, "Once the contract is signed, take your time."

Faced with such an answer, the two of them had nothing to say. The contract was signed anyway, so they could only discuss it in the long term.

Before the food was served, Li An raised the issue of the distribution of musical instrument income between him and Xu Li.

Li An: "Maybe he just doesn't like us. Everyone knows that we are here to make money."

Xu Li put down the phone. No one spoke in the carriage for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Turning his face, Li An temporarily changed his words, "If we can make the book people what we expected this time, then I think we can continue to use this model to develop the next school in the future."

For a moment, "Sorry, Mr. Li"

"Understandable."

Li An: "Looking at Liu Zhen so far, my personal evaluation is not complicated. Although he was a little distant from me when we first met, you will see later that he took the initiative to get closer to me. Let’s introduce the campus and talk about the establishment of the Art Teaching Center. He is also a talkative person. Maybe it’s because of Lan Tian. He was a little prejudiced against me before. It’s human nature.”

Li An: "We must leave. We must be tied to Liu Zhen. Currently, music literacy courses are offered for grades 3 to 7. I want to start literacy courses for grades 8 and 9 in the future."

Seeing Xu Li's firm attitude, Li An curled his lips and said, "Sister Xu, please don't. You make me very scared."

Xu Li: "I was also careless."

"Sister Xu, each of us has half."

Xu Li frowned: "I only do 10% of the work. If you want to do 50% of the work with me, won't I worry?"

"At that time, we will make a course project with the theme of art advancement. Today we also emphasized this general trend. He has stayed in the junior high school for so long, so this opening will have to be opened from him."

"Director Zheng just said on the way that all the remaining eight outsourcing projects have been wiped out. Regardless of whether he told us or not, the thing is that Uncle Yue directly helped us win this project."

"We have won the project for us, can he not do this favor? So Uncle Yue must have his own difficulties, so Sister Xu, if this is true, don't take it personally. No matter if you are helping me this time, I'd better help you. After finishing this meal, let's forget about it and move on to another chapter, okay?"

Xu Li also made her attitude clear when she heard this: "I only want 10%."

Xu Li smiled, then raised her tea cup, and the two clinked tea instead of wine.

Li An laughed: "No matter whether you are engaged in education or art, the prerequisite is to fill your stomach first, isn't it? It's boring to act and stand up at the same time. Since Liu Zhen wants to express his educational sentiments in front of everyone, he doesn't want to give If the parents want to save money, then we will grant it to him, and I won’t give him his share, so that we don’t have to deal with the rest of his family.”

"Come on, let's go have a meal."

Xu Li: "I will naturally participate in the follow-up work, but this time I will only get 10% of the musical instrument share."

"Don't like hot food?" Li An asked casually when he saw Xu Li putting the fish fillets from the basin to the plate and letting them cool before eating.

Xu Li: "It's hot to the lips."

After dinner, Xu Li was going to pick up Wang Xiaohu, and Li An happened to stop by Rongcheng Concert Hall to pick up the CD.

Back in front of the Yudong office building, Li An left a CD, "I plan to gather the teachers at noon tomorrow to get to know each other, shall we come together?"

Xu Li wanted to go, but she really had something to do at noon tomorrow. "Next time, I wish you have a good time, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Waving his hand, Li An turned around and entered the office building.
-

Chen Xuan's plan to study abroad has become the headline news in the Art Examination Department today, and everyone has been talking about it all morning.

As soon as Li An got out of the elevator, he saw Fang Zheng and Wang Meili chatting animatedly across the front desk.

Not only did the two of them avoid talking about it, Wang Meili also grabbed Li An and asked him about it. Although Wang Meili was not an outsider, there were students everywhere around him, so he couldn't elaborate. He only said that Chen Xuan would leave for a while.

Wang Meili: "Advanced studies."

Fang Zheng: "Yes, further education."

Li An smiled: "You two continue, I will prepare for class first."

Fang Zheng: "Your class is tomorrow on the schedule."

Li An: "Just in time, please help me call Luo Xiaoran, Min Zhen and Zhao Weida, and ask the three of them to come together."

Fang Zheng: "ok."

As soon as Li An entered the 802 with his front foot, Chen Xuan came running with his back foot.

Chen Xuan had been extremely nervous all morning, fearing that something would go wrong, and it turned out that the school wanted to participate in the price setting.

so annoying! ?

Why is it so annoying! ?

Fortunately, Li An explained and comforted her and brought Chen Xuan back from the edge of going berserk.

"Don't rush and take your time. What did you say this afternoon? You really don't have any salary anymore and you want to let yourself go."

"No way." Chen Xuan rolled her eyes, "Xiaoyu and I made an appointment to go to the bookstore to buy some French learning materials, and take a stroll around the streets to look at the shops. Maybe we can find a good location with a suitable price!"

Li An: "Okay, okay, then you two can finish dinner outside. I will practice the piano after class, and we will go back together after you finish."

Not long after Chen Xuan left, Zhao Weida and three people came to 802 in a group.
-

Compared with the previous class, it was obvious that the three people who came to class today were in pretty good shape.

Although it was a day early, the three of them were not panicked at all, and Zhao Weida took the initiative to come first.

After completing the spot check of scales and etudes, Zhao Weida successfully played the monthly test pieces and even received praise from Ang Lee. Later, Min Zhen and Luo Xiaoran also received Li An's affirmation after class.

"How many days has it been?" Li An asked the three of them after class, "About four days."

"Tell yourself, are the results of your four days of practice better than those of the previous ten days?"

The three of them immediately looked embarrassed, and Min Zhen nodded like he was clicking a mouse.

"You three are doing well today. Just perform normally in the monthly exam. Go down and fill in today's course records yourself, and then ask the three of them to come and wait for me at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Good teacher."

"Okay, let's go."
-

After the classes for the three art candidates were over, Li An pulled all the teachers who were attending the book classes into a group.

@Everyone, please pay attention. Shuren officially starts school on September 9th. I would like to invite everyone to come out and sit for a while at noon tomorrow. It is expected to last two hours, from 5:11 to 30:13. The location will be Xinya Rest at the back door of Rongyuan. , if you have time, sign up. If it is not convenient, we will meet you directly when school starts. Please relax.

Xu Hongxin sent him a direct message: Just go to my place.

The reason why Li An chose this place was to facilitate his three junior brothers and sisters. Currently, three of the main members of his teaching team are from the Orchestra Department of Rongyuan. Liu Zhaocheng said that the houses rented by the three of them are all near the school.

After a while, the group became lively. Everyone, including the percussion teacher recommended to her by Qi Guojuan, signed up to participate in tomorrow's small party.

It was almost as expected by Li An. One class was only three hundred yuan. Who wouldn’t be active in making money?

After finishing the work, Li An began to practice the piano.

Sitting in front of the piano, he ran through the scales for fifteen minutes, then turned to 740 and continued to play through the transposition. According to the current progress, he will be able to complete the transposition 740 by mid-October at the latest.

The sound of the piano accompanied the sunset outside the window, and time flew by to the evening.

September is approaching, and the sky outside the window is no longer as dark as midsummer.

Xiaomi: I'm done. I'll be downstairs in fifteen minutes. You haven't eaten?

81,000: Just go home and have something to eat later.

While waiting for Chen Xuan, Li An came to the safe passage on the eighth floor and lit a cigarette.

After a busy day, the book writer's contract was finally won.

And Xu Li's side has really become his problem.

Later he mentioned whether the two could continue to cooperate in developing the school in the future, and the other party gave a positive idea.

Herein lies the problem.

If Xu Li didn't respond to his proposal, Li An would still be able to accept the other party's idea of ​​only 10% of the musical instrument share this time.

Li An assumed that the other party was completely helping him this time, and then asked for a token 10% of the favor. The purpose was naturally to make a long-term investment for Wang Xiaohu's future music study.

But since the other party has expressed that they will continue to cooperate in the future, the relationship between them is no longer just a parent-teacher relationship, but is developing into a true partner.

So as a partner, the distribution of interests must be clearly stated up front, and the brothers still have to settle the accounts clearly.

It's impossible for Xu Li not to know this, so Li An really can't figure out what Xu Li's purpose is for providing people and efforts, but in the end not wanting to benefit.

There is no one who specializes in making wedding clothes for others. This is so unreasonable.

Although Xu Li is now a full-time mother, the other party is not free enough to play house with him.

Xu Li didn't want to ask herself to borrow money, right?

Li An shook his head. He really had this idea at that moment. How could it be possible? Even if Xu Li really needed money, she wouldn't come to him. Doesn't Xu Li know his financial situation?

If you don’t care about wealth, then how about caring for others?

Li An scratched his forehead.

No.

impossible.

Xu Liduo is a calm woman.

Besides, the two of them have known each other for more than a year, so if the other person has any thoughts about him, it's impossible for him to not notice it at all.

But then he asked another question. He had not seen Wang Xiaohu's father for more than a year. Did the couple have any emotional problems?

No, no, that day in the car he told Xu Li that they got married very early, and Xu Li responded to him with a smile.

Or is Xu Li deliberately hiding something?

Li An had a starting point for thinking this way, because Wang Xiaohu had not mentioned his father in the more than a year he had been following him.

After thinking about it like this, Li An seemed to realize something belatedly.

Before Xu Li came back, Wang Xiaohu had been following his grandma and grandpa. He thought that the couple were busy outside together.

Now Xu Li is back, but Wang Xiaohu's father is still missing.

Every time he asked about Wang Xiaohu's father, Xu Li never answered the question directly, either because she was busy or perfunctory.

He remembered that that day he asked Xu Li and Xiaohu's father to get married early. Xu Li didn't answer him, but just asked him and Chen Xuan to come on too.

Why Xu Li didn't answer her head-on so many times was because of the filial piety among her friends.

Even if Xu Li doesn't want to mention family matters to others, she is Wang Xiaohu's teacher, and the two of them still have a cooperative relationship, so the two families will only get closer in the future.

Xu Li has no need to avoid herself.

Li An felt that he had guessed very well. The couple must have divorced, and Wang Xiaohu followed his mother.

When he thought of this, Li An lamented in his heart, and he suddenly hoped that his guess was completely wrong. No matter what happened between the couple, the child would be hurt the most in the end.

But with so many clues in front of him, what reasonable explanation could he find?

Wang Xiaohu has performed and competed so many times, but he has only met Xu Li and never met Wang Xiaohu's father. No matter how busy he is as a father, he won't even miss one of his children's performances.

As a parent of several children, apart from Che Lin's biological mother, he has never met Wang Xiaohu's father.

Think again about Wang Xiaohu’s previous performances.

Why did I pay a little attention to Wang Xiaohu before, even if I taught Wang Xiaohu a lesson, Wang Xiaohu's teacher-student index would increase?

Why does Wang Xiaohu always like to act coquettishly and cling to himself?

Why did Wang Xiaohu always do some sensational things before?

Now he had a vague answer. It should be that Wang Xiaohu lacked the attention and care he should have had while growing up.

Hey.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case, and Li An felt more and more uncomfortable.

But even so.

Let’s take another 10,000 steps back.

There was Wang Xiaohu between him and Xu Li. Even if Xu Li was empty, lonely and cold, she wouldn't come to him to look for firewood.

He is Wang Xiaohu's teacher, and he is not single.

Xu Li doesn't care about money or people, so what is she after?

If he looks at this question from the perspective of a couple who have been divorced for many years, he seems to be able to find an answer.

Maybe Xu Li is still making an investment, a longer-term investment.

Then the question comes again. If Xu Li and her husband have already divorced, why didn't Xu Li tell her directly?

A woman's self-esteem?

Li An did not doubt that Xu Li might be the party being proposed for divorce. Otherwise, why would the other party hang the gift from Xiaohu's father in college in the car.

Are you obsessed with it?

Li An doesn’t know anymore.

Maybe I think too much, maybe everything is just my random imagination.

But he has such a personality. If he doesn't understand some issues clearly, he will feel uneasy. He can't be careless when it comes to interests.

I also blame Boss X for reminding him that there is no free lunch in the world.

But no matter what, he hopes that his cooperation with Xu Li can continue to go smoothly, and at the same time, he hopes that everything is overthinking.

Wang Xiaohu is a very good boy.
