Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 758 17. One hero and three gangs, the core of mutual assistance

The stubborn Haitao fulfilled his "promise" and paid for lunch, leaving Li An dumbfounded.

Xu Hongxin said he was free on weekdays, but he was actually quite busy. Today he wanted to go home quickly to spend time with his wife, but he still wanted to chat more with Li An.

Li An took the contract and solved the teacher's class problem. Seeing that he would take Chen Xuan home tomorrow, he was half excited and half nervous.

So the wine I didn’t drink at noon was finally drunk at night.

Li An is indeed looking for a drink today.

"Call Ma Tao."

Dinner was at home. Li An and Chen Xuan didn't cook. They ordered takeout and wine. They drank until 8:30 when Ma Tao hurriedly took a taxi.

This drink lasted until almost half past ten.

"Brother, you still have to be careful about Liu Daguang." With Haitao's involvement in the whole thing and his part-time job in various organizations, he has seen too many people like Liu Daguang.

"Although he is in the wrong in this matter, who knows if he will jump over the wall in a hurry."

Everyone understood what Li An was thinking and said nothing more. The four of them raised their glasses.

There were some things he didn't say because he didn't want to inflame the atmosphere at the wine table, but if Liu Daguang continued to be dishonest, don't blame him for being ruthless next time.

"If he continues to cause trouble behind the scenes, it will be really troublesome. After all, he is more familiar with the parents of Shuren's students than you are."

In terms of strength on paper, Liu Daguang is far from being able to compare with him now.

Li An smiled and the four of them clinked glasses.

Li An then raised another glass, "We've been talking about us all night. Let's talk about you, Ma Tao, how are you and Xiao Qiao?"

Then Ma Tao exposed Xu Hongxin's background again, "You should also explain it quickly."

"Then I wish the boss, Sister Xuan, all the best." Xu Hongxin said, but Ma Tao immediately interrupted, "Sister Xuan is here."

Then Zheng Haitao told Xu Hongxin and Ma Tao about the municipal wind band competition.

Shi Ge is not even worthy of carrying his shoes in front of Rong Ai, so who is Liu Daguang?

"Don't mention it." Before Ma Tao could say anything, Xu Hongxin complained first, "I'm really convinced by these two people. The two boring gourds are obviously interesting, but they just don't talk about it. Every time Baocai asks, Qiao just says Ma Tao is a very nice person, and if I ask further questions, there will be nothing more to say, and then two days later, the two of us went to have dinner together again."

"Liu Daguang really ruined my business," Li An swallowed the peanuts and spoke again. After a moment, "I can understand him."

The two Brother Tao had been laughing and joking all night over who was Brother Tao, but it was not the right time to joke.

Zheng Haitao: "Brother Yan."

Normally, Chen Xuan would be really shy, but today, with the help of some wine, the word sister-in-law became sweeter and sweeter, and she said boldly, "Thank you, and I wish you all the best!"

"necessary."

"Boss, when my sister-in-law comes back, it's almost time for you to get on the schedule."

There was nothing to guard against, and nothing could be guarded against. He had his own way of dealing with the students Liu Daguang left behind.

Zheng Haitao's drunken remarks came from the bottom of his heart. Even without him having to say it, everyone here understood it, but how could this be prevented?

A few people only knew that Chen Xuan was going abroad to study, but they didn't know how long Chen Xuan would be gone. They thought that Chen Xuan would come back soon.

When Li An heard this, he looked at Xu Hongxin and blinked, "Hey, I'm just telling you why you don't smoke today."

Zheng Haitao hurriedly covered his mouth and raised his wine glass: "Brother Tao, please stop, you are brother."

Ma Tao: "Goodbye, Brother Tao, listen to the boss."

Li An: "Tit for tat, in my case, Liu Daguang and I have become even, and I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. It's nonsense to say that we may become friends in the future. My current thoughts are Just do your job with peace of mind, build up your career as a scholar, and open your own school. Everything else comes second."

"How can we defend ourselves against the enemy in the open?"

Ever since Xu Hongxin's wedding, Ma Tao had been chatting with Baocai's bridesmaid Xiao Qiao. It had been a long time. Li An only occasionally listened to Xu Hongxin talk about the day when the two of them had dinner again, but he always Nothing special happened.

"He only had the opportunity to take over Victory Street by making me a prostitute. There is money to be made in taking over Victory Street. So from his point of view, he was not wrong, but he was a little underhanded."

When the food is ready, the atmosphere heats up.

Is Liu Daguang still not an enemy? ! Zheng Haitao's eyes widened: "Damn it, brother, have you drunk too much?"

Xu Hongxin hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law! I'll punish myself with a glass of wine." He drank it all in one gulp and filled up the glass again. "I wish the boss and sister-in-law a smooth progress in all their work this year!"

"Come on, have a drink, Brother Da Tao can keep up the pace."

The three people who are familiar with Ang Lee are waiting for a but.

The two touched each other, and then looked at Li An.

"That's it," Li An spat, "you all know that he lost the scholar, and you know it best, Haitao."

Li An picked up a peanut and fed it to his mouth. He refused for a moment and said, "Don't worry about making enemies for yourself yet."

The dinner table fell silent for a while, and Chen Xuan filled Li An's glass with beer.

Xu Hongxin had already drank in his face, and his tone was a bit arrogant, but not to Zheng Haitao. After asking, he turned to look at Li An, "Boss, tell me."

Zheng Haitao's words pulled Li An out of his thoughts.

Only after listening to Xu and Ma did they know the real reason for the scholar's defeat.

Ma Tao chuckled: "The boss must understand me."

Li An then understood that they were redundant, "Okay, you two continue."

Xu Hongxin sniffed and nodded seriously, "Baicai is pregnant."

Chen Xuan: "Wow, congratulations!"

Zheng Haitao: "Congratulations!"

"Come on, come on."

The four of them clinked glasses again, and the dinner table became lively again.

Xu Hongxin received a circle of blessings and drank another drink by himself: "Thank you everyone."

After a pause, "Brother An, to be honest, I'm quite nervous. After I came out of the hospital last Tuesday, I couldn't sleep every night."

Li An: "If you have anything to say, go and talk to Baocai. Say whatever you want. She is the one who understands you best."

Xu Hongxin was stunned, and suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Li An at the gate of the Rongyuan one night before the wedding. Then the problem that had troubled him for a week was solved in an instant. After a while, he nodded, "I understand, boss."

He wanted to toast again, but found that the bottle was empty. Looking down for wine, Xu Hongxin found that the second box they opened had been finished.

"Okay, I won't open the wine on the table today."

Xu Hongxin: "No, I'm fine."

Li An held Xu Hongxin down and said, "What the hell, I have something to do tomorrow. Sit down."

Xu Hongxin knew that Li An hadn't finished drinking yet, so he just made an excuse, "Okay, listen to the boss."

"That's right, let's talk and clear the dishes on the table, otherwise it will just be thrown away. We won't be home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Everyone moved their chopsticks. "Haitao, you are definitely not single, right?" Continuing the topic, Ma Tao turned the topic to Zheng Haitao.

Li An sighed inwardly and heard Zheng Haitao: "I'm alone."

Ma Tao joked: "It doesn't look like you, either. What kind of girl do you like?"

Zheng Haitao smiled and ate a piece of meat. Zhang Miao's quiet face in the afternoon flashed in his mind, "Brother Tao, this is a curse."

Before Ma Tao could figure out what was going on, Li An interjected: "Don't think he can say anything. If he meets a girl, he is not as good as you. There are suitable ones around you who can introduce him to her."

Zheng Haitao waved his hands hurriedly: "Bye bye."

Ma Tao: "It's done."

"Okay," Li An changed the topic, "Girls' affairs are all about fate, but sometimes you have to take the initiative."

Zheng Haitao knew that Li An's words were a nod to him, "I understand, brother."

Who hasn't had a sad past? Brother Xiaotao is also a very affectionate person.

Li An: "You know your partner's affairs yourself. We were just joking. I have to tell you about work."

Zheng Haitao: "Brother, tell me."

Li An: "You're not young anymore. Look around you. Those who are going to graduate school are going to graduate school, those who are going abroad are going abroad, those who are taking exams for editing, I won't talk about those who change careers. If you want to change, fine, I will support you. , but since you plan to do this, you can’t do it like this anymore.”

"One end here, one end over there. It seems that sometimes I am very busy, but in the end I am so busy that there is no result. How long have I graduated? Sometimes, don't blame the teacher for saying you, it's like practicing the piano with you, playing this, playing that, Can you play a finished sonata now?"

Li An was sincere about this little brother who he had kept in touch with during his disappearance, and he was indeed a little drunk.

"When you entered school this year, everyone said that you and Ma Yu were on par with each other. Now he has gone abroad."

Zheng Haitao: "Brother, that's all before the art exam. Besides, everyone has their own ambitions."

Li An: "You're right. Before the art exam, you two practiced the piano fiercely. You were evenly matched. Ma Yu went there based on his ambition. You just didn't care about anything. You were a monk and clockwork."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was suddenly not right, Chen Xuan hurriedly said to smooth things over: "Haitao is doing quite well now, take your time."

Xu Hongxin echoed: "That's right, Haitao is much better than me. I can't handle so many units."

Listening to the comforting words of the two, Zheng Haitao still lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake, and sighed after a moment.

Li An sighed when he looked at Zheng Haitao, but he didn't feel that he said too much. If it were someone else sitting here, he wouldn't be able to say these words. So far, he has already said what he said.

"Okay, okay, eat food, eat food."

Later, when we talked about the story about the West Office, the atmosphere at the dinner table returned a lot.

Although Zheng Haitao did not participate much in the speech, he felt a lot of yearning in his heart.

Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, the three of them insisted on cleaning up the restaurant for Li An, but Li An couldn't stop them.

Just do it. After a few people cleaned up the garbage, Chen Xuan called Xu Hongxin a driver.

"Sister-in-law, please don't go down."

"Goodbye, sister-in-law!"

Ma Tao and Zheng Haitao stopped by and called a car after seeing Xu Hongxin off. While waiting for the car at Nanmen Gate, the three of them, who had been holding back for the second half, took out their cigarettes in unison.

The evening breeze blew by, and Zheng Haitao's playful and smiling face came back. He approached Li An with an attentive look and lit a cigarette, "Brother, let's discuss something."

Li An: "What are you holding back again?"

Zheng Haitao: "I would like to apply for a job as a piano teacher in Piano Classroom No. 4."

Li An: "I haven't even gotten the certificate yet."

Zheng Haitao: “I am applying in advance.”

Li An: "It's not easy to work here. You heard what I said today. Teachers must be trained before they can take up the job."

Zheng Haitao: "Training is necessary. Although I can't play a complete sonata now, you can give me a week to try."

Li Anle: "Have you thought about it?"

Zheng Haitao: "Think about it."

Li An: "Then I'll give you a chance. I'll send you a video of two children playing the piano in a while. Before September 1st, please tell me what problems these two children have and what kind of reinforcements should be carried out next." , and what teaching materials should be used for the next step of study, write a plan to me."

Zheng Haitao: "Okay."

Ang Lee: "If you can't write this well, you have to participate in the training honestly."

Zheng Haitao: "I will participate seriously regardless of whether it is good or not."

Li An: "Okay, then I will make an exception and give you an internship opportunity. I may still be short of a piano teacher here as a scholar. The course plan I posted in the group is for piano. You go back and prepare. If you arrive If there is no shortage of time, you are responsible for improving your quality."

Ma Tao: "I really envy you, boss. If there is a shortage of people for the bass brass, you must let me come."

Li An joked: "You can't do it. I'm afraid Guangyuan won't be able to do it without you now. Do you still have time in the afternoon from Monday to Friday?"

After a while, he said, "Don't worry, do your current job well, don't waste the opportunities in front of you, and continue to gain experience."

The two of them nodded when they heard the sound.
-

Li An went upstairs to pack up with Chen Xuan. Both of them had packed their luggage for tomorrow's departure. After packing, they took a shower and then went to bed and turned off the lights.

"Haitao is one, but we will have to recruit one or two more piano teachers by then."

Hearing Li An sigh, Chen Xuan turned over and said, "Isn't this easy? You have so many junior brothers and sisters."

Li An: "That's what I say, but it can't be like this. I agreed to Haitao because I know him well. He just isn't very motivated. There's nothing else to say. And he's very good at communicating with parents. But if you Now let me choose among the teachers, and I really can't find a suitable candidate for a while. Ma Fei is good in other aspects, but he is only a freshman and his classical foundation is far behind."

"We are doing business with real money, not solving employment problems for them. I can only help with other things within my ability, but this is not possible. Put aside the teaching philosophy first, just tell me this child, you listen Don't use the ready-made system to figure out what he wants to practice. I'll give you three textbooks, and you can intersperse them with me to select three songs that the child will practice next."

Chen Xuan found it difficult to hear this: "According to your standards, teachers do have to participate in training."

Li An: "You don't need to participate, just take a class directly. Just pass my level."

Chen Xuan: "I guess it's hard to find ready-made ones. Hey, why do you suddenly feel that the teachers who participated in the training are very profitable?"

Li An: "Shamelessly, you are right."

Chen Xuan lay down again and looked at the ceiling, "Do you really want to give up the scholar's other small classes?"

Ang Lee: "First of all, we can't afford it. Secondly, given the current situation of the book people, I really need people who can fight hard."

"Finally, if you were at this stage and faced with such conditions, would you help me wholeheartedly?"

Chen Xuan: "Yes."

Li An: "Are you helping me?"

"Good night."

As she spoke, Chen Xuan pulled up the arm at hand and closed her eyes.
