The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 65 Ruijia’s National Competition

With the end of the Haiyin Troupe's performance, tonight's nearly two-hour concert also came to an end.

Haiyin's strength greatly shocked students from many other schools in Haicheng.

After all, the Haiyin 1st and 2nd regiments have used all their strength without any reservations.

This also makes many Haicheng teams preparing to participate in the national competition a little worried.

In the first round of the national competition, can they really escape from Haiyin and win tickets to the finals?
As they left the concert hall, they looked at each other, their eyes gradually becoming clearer.

In fact, they don't need to beat Haiyin 2nd Team to get tickets to the finals.

They just need to beat other schools and that's it.

Thinking of this, everyone no longer had any thoughts about the Haiyin Second Group.

Their current thoughts are all about people from other schools.

In the few days after the concert, the atmosphere within Haiyin also changed a lot.

Many people who originally looked down on the Second Group began to change their attitudes and truly recognized the Second Group.

Within Haiyin, the first group and the second group have become two equal orchestras.

Even the second group is slightly more than the first group.

After all, many of the people in the Second Regiment are the losers, and the losers can do this and force the First Regiment into this situation.

This is enough to show that their potential is endless.

Their future must be immeasurable!

Of course, there are still a very small number of people who will say that the second group is not as good as the first group, and they will insist on the fact that the performance of the second group is not as good as the first group.

It's just a pity that not many people paid attention to them. They were just enjoying themselves and didn't make many waves.

After the second group proved their success, the people of the second group did not take much rest or be satisfied.

Most of their attention is now completely focused on the upcoming national competition.

After all, when their band was founded, Chen Qiu told the teachers of the Haiyin Conducting Department that they would win the national competition to prove the correctness of their band.

In recent months, the command department has been helping them and providing them with various resources.

Now, it is indeed their turn to repay the Haiyin command system.

Won the championship in the national competition and proved the correctness of the second team!
Therefore, the time for everyone to practice the piano was extended again.

I practice my work day and night every day without daring to slack off in the slightest.

After all, the band is now on the momentum of progress. If anyone stops the band's momentum of progress, then he will really become the sinner of the band.

No one wants to take responsibility for this kind of crime.

Everyone is not here to hang out.

If it is really for the purpose of confusion.

They won't come to the second group either.

Rui Jia, the same is true.

She is also working hard to keep up with the orchestra and try not to let herself be the one who is lagging behind in the orchestra.

however……

……

Haicheng·Little Star Art Training Center.

"Bye, see you next week!"

Rui Jia's tired face forced a smile. After seeing off the last student who came to study, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She put her hand on the double bass in front of her, and there was even a little bit of emotion in her whole body. paralysis.

She is so tired.

She felt like she was going to collapse.

The band is currently preparing two works at the same time. In addition, they have also practiced with their previous works.

Daily practice time requirements are doubled.

However, there are only 24 hours in a day.

She now sleeps less than six hours a day.

The rest of the time, I am either in class at school, practicing piano, or on the way to work, without any breaks.

She had never felt so tired.

Every day when I wake up, there is countless work and preparations for the national competition.

Close your eyes and realize what you need to prepare for the next day, as well as the national competition.

It was not what Chen Qiu asked for.

Chen Qiuren is a very good person, and he never places particularly high demands on them.

This is just the feeling they want to achieve.

Just that.

However, with such a small request, she felt that she was somewhat unable to do so.

There are too many things to do, and I can’t even finish them.

Otherwise, what if you resign?

In this way, maybe, it can be a little...

take a break……

Rui Jia hugged her Qin, her eyes could not help but narrow slightly, and she even wanted to fall asleep just like that.

The double bass is big, soft, and comfortable...

Just like, a bed...

"Teacher! Teacher Ruijia, teacher, wake up! We are still in class, don't be in a daze!"

A sharp sound suddenly woke Ruijia up.

She looked at the little girl in front of her blankly, her body reacted before her brain, and she smiled and spoke to her.

"No, the teacher is not asleep. The teacher is just thinking about something. The teacher is thinking about how you can continue to improve in your performance just now."

"But, but we have just started class? I haven't even played yet!"

The little girl said aggrievedly: "We haven't gone to class yet. How did Teacher Ruijia know that I made a mistake?"

"Well, because the teacher has records here!"

Ruijia smiled and took out a thick notebook from her schoolbag, which was filled with the characteristics of her students.

Rui Jia pointed at the notes in her hand and smiled at the little girl.

"The teacher has records. The teacher is just thinking about what method of teaching today will be best for you."

"Hey, really?"

The girl said doubtfully.

And Rui Jia's brain couldn't help but feel in a daze.

Didn’t I just finish the lesson for the last person?
Why did it happen again all of a sudden?

It seems to be the first class.

Um, have you gone back to the past?
After she tentatively said a few sentences according to the content of the class in her memory, the little girl immediately said: "Teacher, you have already taught this in the last class! Do we have to repeat the class again?"

"Huh? Have I told you that? Sorry, sorry, the teacher is a little confused. Let's continue."

Rui Jia's heart gradually became more peaceful.

Fortunately, I didn't travel through time, and I didn't encounter anything messy, repeating this bloody situation on the same day.

But why does it happen that as soon as I close my eyes and open them, my rest time is gone and I start the next round of teaching directly?
Rui Jia was full of doubts and couldn't express herself. She could only teach her students step by step.

I taught from day to night without any rest.

After teaching the last student, the person in charge of the school came over.

She is a fat girl, about thirty or forty years old, married, and the daughter of the school owner.

She looked at Ruijia's tired look and happily injected Ruijia with blood.

"Rui Jia! Rui Jia! Do you know? You are going to get a salary increase! You will get a salary increase soon!"

"Huh? A salary increase?"

Rui Jia couldn't help but steady her steps while carrying the double bass on her back. She looked at the boss's daughter behind her, tangled the loose ends of her hair behind her ears, and asked her.

"Um...really? How much can my salary increase?"

"It's a lot! It can go up a lot! Come and see!" The boss's daughter dragged Rui Jia to the cashier, took out a new price list from the counter, handed it to Rui Jia, and said with a smile.

"Look! Look at this!"

"this is……"

"This is the new price list! Then take a look at our old price list. Do you feel anything?" "The class fee...has increased?"

"Yes, the class fee has increased! It's next week! How about it, surprise or no surprise?"

"Indeed, it's a bit of a surprise and an accident..." Rui Jia nodded.

The boss's daughter didn't pay attention to Ruijia's expression. She just hugged Ruijia and pointed to the price list above.

"Look, we originally charged 300 yuan per class, but now our price has increased to 100 yuan per class! Then we also have group classes, where one teacher teaches three students, and they also pay 150 yuan per class. It’s an hour! If you take half of it, then the hourly minimum is !”

She plucked her fingers and calculated at Ruijia: "Then look, it's 150 per hour. If you work 20 hours a week, it's 3000. Then see if you can work 40 hours a week. Then you can work 6000 hours a week." The minimum wage is ! As a part-time worker, you can quickly surpass those who work full-time! How about it? Are you excited?"

She even became excited as she spoke: "And oh! Didn't you tell me before that you had nothing to do at night? Then you come to my place every night and follow me, and I will arrange 50 yuan for you. It’s an hour-long, one-to-one course worth $10! ​​The money you can earn in an hour is 250 yuan!

Then you only need to fuck them from four or five o'clock in the afternoon until their parents have finished dinner! It’s almost seven or eight o’clock! That is to say, I come here to work for 4 hours every day, and during this period I tutor elementary school students with their homework and so on!

I work 20 hours from Monday to Friday, and then 10 hours every day on Saturday and Sunday. Let me do the math, boy! If you really do this, you can even earn 8000 yuan a week! Think about it, if you work part-time for a week, it’s 8000 yuan! How about it? Are you getting excited? "

Rui Jia was a little confused by what the boss's daughter said, and she was very sleepy now, so she just nodded in confusion and said.

"Ah, um, okay, okay, there are indeed quite a few."

"Right, right? Then it's settled? You come to my place to work after school every day, and then come to work for 10 hours on weekends to take care of those children. I will still give it to you in a 5:5 ratio. Pay your salary! I will never treat you badly! After all, you have been working with us for so long, right!"

The boss's daughter looked at Ruijia with a smile, as if she was afraid that Ruijia would disagree.

Rui Jia thought about it and did not refuse.

Although I feel a little scared, having to work so many extra hours may delay my own piano practice, but when I think that I can make more money to support my family without having to pay for myself, I can't help but feel a lot more at ease.

Her family was poor, but they had sold everything to support her in going to college. She went to some of the best music conservatories in the country, even in the international metropolis of Haicheng.

Haicheng is a city where money is picked up everywhere, as long as she works hard enough!

So she has to become independent and work harder.

Earn more money!
If, if we can finish at eight o'clock here, we might be able to catch a few rock music venues or jazz venues in the evening.

By then, maybe I can earn over 10,000 yuan a month as a part-time student.

I can also go from a poor family to a professional elite earning tens of thousands a month.

All you need is to sleep less and work harder.

Therefore, Ruijia nodded and spoke to the boss's daughter with a hint of enthusiasm.

"Yeah, okay, thank you boss, I will definitely work harder!"

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to work hard, we will definitely not treat you badly!"

The boss's daughter patted Rui Jia on the shoulder and left.

Rui Jia also nodded quickly and came to the bus stop in a daze, preparing to take the bus.

But soon, she became stunned.

She suddenly remembered what her boss's daughter had just told her, saying that she might get a salary increase next month.

And she will have the opportunity to earn a part-time salary of 10,000 yuan a month.

Are you going to become rich?

Do you still need to take public transportation?
Rui Jia's face suddenly turned red.

It's not that I'm shy or anything.

But excitement.

She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, which she had not changed for a long time, opened the taxi-hailing app that she had almost never opened before, looked at the information on it, and started to calculate.

First of all, it costs more than 30 to get to the school from here. Well, it is too expensive. This is definitely not an option.

What about going to the nearby subway station?

This subway station is too close and the starting price is not yet reached, so just pass.

This subway station seems to be okay, a little higher than the starting price.

this one!
It seems that I have never taken a taxi alone!
Ruijia hugged her huge double bass excitedly, waiting for the express train she took to arrive.

Soon, the car arrived in front of her.

After she put her double bass in the back seat and tied it up, she found a seat and squeezed in. Holding the handle of the double bass, she waved to the driver who looked confused.

"Master, okay, you can go."

"Tell me the last number on your mobile phone."

"9527!"

After confirming the last number on the phone, the driver took Rui Jia towards the subway station.

Under the bumps of the vehicle and the soft seats, Rui Jia felt a little sleepy again, and she wanted to sleep while holding the double bass in her hand.

Tiredness came over me again.

Or, just squint a little?
Rui Jia thought so.

She closed her eyes slightly, tilted her head to one side, and soon fell into sleep.

When she woke up again, she found herself on the stage.

Next to him are members of the jazz band.

Everyone is playing hard.

Listening to the familiar music in her ears, Rui Jia's hands immediately started playing the music automatically, her eyes full of doubts.

Aren't you going to take a taxi to school? Why did I wake up and find myself on the stage again?
She drowsily followed the crowd through the entire music session, and then continued back.

In a daze, I came to the scene of rock music again.

Then, there is the concert hall.

Haicheng Harmony Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall, Chen Qiu’s territory.

She glanced at the time out of habit, and her face couldn't help but feel bitter.

Damn it, a whole minute late!

Chen Qiu wouldn't scold her, would he?
She looked at Chen Qiu, only to find that Chen Qiu was looking at her with a very strange look.

It seems to be concern, but it also seems to be... some other emotion?
Rui Jia wasn't sure, but she knew that if she didn't apologize, Chen Qiu would curse.

She immediately shouted weakly.

"Hug, sorry, Chen Qiu, command, I, hu... I'm late, I..."

"It's okay. You go back to your place first and take a little rest."

She didn't expect that Commander Chen Qiu didn't say anything to her directly this time, but asked her to return to her seat.

She came to her seat with a little uneasiness, only to find that conductor Chen Qiu seemed to be ignoring it and didn't say anything. He just told her to adjust the tune quickly.

That's it.

She shook her head, put aside her unnecessary thoughts, and followed Chen Qiu's pace to play.

The performance was not going very smoothly. There seemed to be some problems with the wind instruments that could not meet Chen Qiu's requirements. Therefore, Chen Qiu directly pulled the wind instruments out separately and asked them to practice.

As for himself, it seems that he escaped?
Rui Jia didn't know why she used the word "escaped" to describe it, but when she thought of this word, she felt it was quite appropriate. She couldn't help but smile slightly, then shook her head, and her expression returned to seriousness.

She just sat there quietly, waiting for her part of the performance, without any extraordinary or outstanding parts.

She felt as if she was sleepy again and wanted to sleep again.

She really wanted to fall asleep with the double bass in her hand, but she was a little afraid that after she fell asleep, she would not know where she was in the workplace when she woke up.

Compared with other workplaces, Chen Qiu's band seems to be more relaxed.

She felt that if she fell asleep, she would probably go directly to Little Star to work when she woke up.

Ah, I’m so tired and I don’t want to work.

But for the sake of the band, I have to work hard.

Rui Jia shook her head, completely discarding the distracting thoughts in her heart, and continued to play along with Chen Qiu's pace.

The two or three hours of rehearsal came to an end soon. At this time, Rui Jia finally had the opportunity to take a nap, and when she was transported directly to the next scene, Chen Qiu spoke.

"Ruijia, please stay for a while and leave later. Don't be anxious. If you have something else to do later, we can call you a car to take you there. Don't be anxious!"

Rui Jia was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Chen Qiu actually stopped her. Is there something wrong with him?

Rui Jia didn't know, but she knew that she should believe Chen Qiu.

After all, Chen Qiu is her commander and the brains of the Second Regiment.

After Chen Qiu asked the people around him to leave first, leaving only Qin Xian and others, he looked at Rui Jia, who had almost lost weight again, and frowned and asked her.

"Ruijia, you..."

"How long have you been without a break?"
