The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 67 What should I do if a girl falls in front of my house? Waiting online, it's quite urgent
"Less? Where is it missing? Let me see?"

The boss's daughter came over with a concerned look on her face, took Rui Jia's salary slip and looked at it. Then she took out a calculator and a work record book from behind the small table, and clicked on it.

She kept calculating, and Ruijia's hope gradually rose.

Maybe, maybe the salary calculation was indeed wrong?

Seeing how hard the boss's daughter works, I must have a heavy workload, right?
So, maybe the boss’s daughter really made a mistake?
Full of anticipation, she watched the boss' daughter keep pressing buttons on the calculator.

Then stopped.

Rui Jia said anxiously: "How is it? Is my salary really calculated wrong?"

The boss's daughter looked at Ruijia with an innocent face and asked in confusion.

"No, why is the calculation wrong? I have calculated it several times. I have calculated it several times in a row. I have not made any mistakes at all. How can it be calculated wrong?"

"No, that's not right..."

Rui Jia took the calculator and started clicking on it.

While pressing, he said to the boss’s daughter.

"I have worked almost 180 hours this month, including four hours every night on weekdays, and I am one-to-ten. Didn't you tell me before that they have to pay 10 yuan an hour for this course? So calculated like this, my hourly salary is 50 yuan, and one day is 250 yuan. Then I worked for a total of more than 1000 weeks and three working days, which is 4 hours. Just calculation like this, my salary this month has reached 92 yuan. Huh? Why do I only have a few thousand yuan?"

Rui Jia looked at the boss's daughter expectantly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered: "You must have made a mistake in your calculation, please help me calculate it again, okay?"

"Well... your calculation is correct. Your working day workload totals 92 hours. That's correct."

The boss's daughter said cheerfully, but soon she shook her head at Ruijia.

"But the money you make now is not 50 yuan an hour, but 8 yuan an hour~"

"what?"

Ruijia's head exploded instantly, and she quickly asked, "How come it's only eight yuan?"

"Because this is our planned price increase, not the current price!"

"But, isn't your price list already posted here? Isn't this price already our current price? Why do you say it is a planned price increase? Instead of... the current price?"

Ruijia's mind didn't turn around at all. She glanced at the price list next to the cashier and then at the work schedule in front of her, her mind filled with confusion.

"I feel like I didn't understand it. Can you explain it to me?"

"Ah, are you talking about the price list above?"

The boss's daughter suddenly understood and said to Ruijia.

"Have we told other parents about the price increase in advance?"

"Ah? What does this have to do with telling your parents?"

"Of course it does matter!"

The boss's daughter said to Ruijia with a smile on her face.

"It's a very simple reason. We are going to raise the price. Later, we won't be able to buy so many classes at such a low price. So do you want to buy more classes now?"

"what?"

Rui Jia was completely confused. She didn't expect this answer at all.

The boss's daughter was still reading over there.

"Because this group of parents likes you more, they paid a lot of money at once! For example, Li Zihan's parents, Sun Ziyue's parents, Zhang Zilong's parents, and Wang Zitao's parents! They all like you very much!

Among them, the least on your side should be Li Zihan's parents, who paid for 600 daily lessons in one go! There is also money for a full 100 professional courses! "

"6 knots?"

Ruijia's eyes widened, and she spoke with a trembling voice.

"How many are 600 daily lessons?"

"A class lasts 4 hours, and it costs 8 yuan an hour. Let me do the math. One class costs 32 yuan, and then there are 600 lessons, which is 19200. Then your professional courses cost 100 yuan, and 100 lessons equals yuan." piece!

Oh, by the way, and because she recharges a lot, we also have a recharge discount, so she actually only has to pay 600 for the price of 15000 daily lessons! Then your class with her is actually 25 yuan per class.

In addition to her, other people also have corresponding discounts. For example, Ziyue's parents recharged a little more, 30,000 yuan, so we gave her a lot of classes, and there are other things... …”

The boss's daughter was over there doing calculations for Rui Jia bit by bit, and Rui Jia finally understood why the boss's daughter pressed the calculator so many times.

Because everyone's discount is different, everyone has a different algorithm.

The amount of money she can earn in one class, even if it is calculated as 25 yuan per class, 10 people divide 250 and half, 125, she worked for a total of 23 working days and 23 classes, but actually only earned 2875 yuan?

There are other professional courses. The professional courses that teach 50 yuan per lesson are not as many as 10 hours every weekend. Among them, she still has a lot of trial lessons that cost 5 yuan a lesson, and children’s piano lessons that cost 10 yuan. teach.

Adding everything together, she only earned about five to six thousand yuan.

It's so much harder than before, but it's only more than two thousand yuan more than before.

Why are you working so hard?
As soon as get out of class was over, she rushed over to take lessons for the children. Not only that, she also needed to teach piano and vocal music, which she was not particularly good at.

I am so busy every day that my brain feels like it is going to burn out.

But from all this, I only made a little money.

And days like this will continue for a whole year!
Lasts all year long!

No, 600 knots…

Not for a whole year, but…

Two years?

Rui Jia felt a little dizzy.

I am just a sophomore now, so that means that my future junior and senior years will also be spent in this place?
Rui Jia was a little confused, and she asked tremblingly.

"You guys, didn't you say the price was going up? But why did my salary go down..."

"Why has the salary dropped? Not at all. You can see that before, you could only earn one or two thousand a month at most. Now you can earn so much a month. Why has the price been reduced?"

The boss's daughter shook her head vigorously: "It is written in our contract that each of us earns half of the money, and you have also taken so many orientation classes. These classes are sold by a group outside for only one yuan, but I have paid every class I’ll give you 5 yuan.”

"Trial class, one yuan for a certain group, five yuan for each group..."

Rui Jia didn't know what to say. It sounded like her boss was very kind to her, but for some reason, she just felt bad.

The boss didn't do anything wrong. He just told others about the price increase, that's all.

And those parents did nothing wrong.

They believed her and thought she was a good teacher, so they were willing to spend a lot of money on this place and put the money in an art training institution in advance.

They even gave a lot of money, tens of thousands to tens of thousands. No matter who it was, these tens of thousands were not a small number.

This is completely the trust of parents!

So, who is at fault?
Rui Jia didn't know, she just felt that her steps were a little frivolous.

Facing the boss's daughter, she struggled for a long time. In the end, she didn't say anything. She just nodded and said softly.

"Okay, okay, I understand..."

"Yeah, don't worry, Ruijia, you are an old employee here. You have been working for us here for almost a year, right? We will never treat you badly! As long as you continue to work hard, Then you will definitely be able to make more money in the future!" the boss's daughter assured, patting her chest.

But Ruijia has no trust in her.

Ruijia looked at the boss' daughter, took a deep breath, and spoke tentatively.

"Then I want to ask, this kind of price should return to normal in two years, right?"

"This one……"

The boss's daughter hesitated. She looked at Ruijia, thought for a moment, and smiled again.

"It will definitely return to normal. We are now preparing to take the mid-range route, not the low-end route like before! So don't worry, after two years, your salary will definitely increase! I guarantee it!"

"So, will there be similar promotions in the future?"

"I can't guarantee this. After all, this is a commercial activity. If you keep the same price, there will definitely be fewer people coming later, right? So I think there should be promotions at my dad's place. I’m guessing, after all, I can’t say for sure!”

"Then, then..."

Rui Jia didn't know what to say. She looked at the boss' daughter in front of her, feeling a little exhausted both physically and mentally.

She sleeps less than 6 hours a day, and is busy with various jobs every day, including school band affairs.

She was counting on her salary to exceed 10,000 yuan and make a lot of money.

She probably wouldn't be able to live here in Haicheng with a salary of 10,000 yuan, but she could try to live around it.

Although I have no idea of ​​getting married and having children, if I can break through the constraints of my family, will my future generation be able to live a better life?
She has no idea of ​​making a lot of money, and she doesn't expect to make a class jump.

She just hopes that her efforts can earn more money that matches her hard work.

It's just a pity...

It seems that at the very least, we still need to wait two years? Do you have to wait so tiringly for two years? There are also unknown promotions during the period, so the time may become longer?
She looked at the boss's daughter in front of her, her hands and feet feeling a little weak.

She swallowed, forced a smile, and spoke to the boss's daughter.

"Yeah, okay, I understand, so I'll go back first? Ming, see you tomorrow?" "Okay, see you tomorrow! Be careful on the road!"

The boss's daughter waved, then looked at Ruijia's staggering steps, thought for a moment, took out two dollars from her cabinet, stepped forward and gave it to Ruijia, and said with a smile.

"Today's round trip expenses are covered by the school. After all, you are also our old employee! Among the teachers here who are most popular among parents, you are ranked number one! Parents, I really like you~
They always ask for news about you every time they come over. When they were preparing to reserve class time recently, they were asking when you would come and whether you would be able to leave. They were particularly concerned about you. When the students came over, they all said, "Teacher Ruijia" And Teacher Ruijia, she’s so cute! My heart melts when I see it! "

Rui Jia was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered the student she taught, the little girl who always poked her in class.

They seem to be the ones who would really say such things.

Although my students are a little naughty, don't follow the rules, and are always running around, they are indeed a very cute group of people.

Rui Jia opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But before she spoke, the boss's daughter added.

"But Teacher Ruijia, you should pay attention to your rest recently. Although parents like you very much, there are also parents who have complained about you~"

"Eh? Submit a complaint?"

Rui Jia was stunned for a moment. She never thought that she would be associated with the word complaint, and she immediately asked carefully.

"What did they complain about me?"

"It's nothing, it just means that you will occasionally be in a daze during class. I want you to be less dazed or something like that. But don't worry, I have blocked all the complaints from parents for you. Don't be too nervous. After all, I also know that you are working hard. Recently, I have a lot of things to do every day, and I have to go to the orchestra every night, and I feel tired!"

The boss's daughter rubbed Ruijia's head with a smile and whispered.

"But, Ruijia, you still have to work harder. Only by working hard can you make a lot of money. If you can't cheer up during class, it will be difficult for me. After all, I can't protect you all the time. There are too many complaints, and it’s a headache for us too! You said, right?”

"Yes, yes..."

Ruijia nodded and began to reflect on herself.

Have you really been in a daze too much lately?

It seems true.

The little girl often poked herself with the bow to stop herself from being dazed.

It seems that I really need to work hard, not be in a daze, and have to be energetic in class.

Seeing that Rui Jia seemed to have listened, the boss's daughter couldn't help but smile, and said with a grin.

"So, Ruijia, come on, our family is very optimistic about you. It doesn't matter if you don't make enough money now. Just work hard to make money later. After all, you are very talented and very popular with the children."

After that, she let go of Ruijia and waved to Ruijia, who was a little lost.

"Okay, I see you're tired too. Go back quickly. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Ming, see you tomorrow."

Ruijia nodded and walked to the bus stop with floating steps, waiting for the bus to arrive.

There are still a few agreed-upon performances by the band.

Well, the orchestra.

Rui Jia couldn't help but curl up. She sat on the bus and stared at everything in the distance in a daze.

Sure enough, it's better to be a band. You don't have to worry about anything. As long as you perform, you can make money.

So does the school band.

Although you can't make money, as long as you follow Chen Qiu's steps, you can succeed and win.

It would be great if I could always work in the band, so I wouldn't have to be so tired.

I really want to resign.

But the parents of so many children trust me so much, and those children also like me very much. I can't resign. If I resign, what will they do?

But, but...

Rui Jia's body curled up tighter.

She tucked her head into her arms, trying to protect herself and strengthen herself.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

She felt so tired in a big city like Haicheng. She didn't know why, but she felt a little homesick.

Two years, I have to work hard like this for two years, can I really sustain it?

Rui Jia didn't know, but now, she could only hold on.

However, she really wanted to take a rest.

I really want to rest.

It would be great if I could go home and rest.

Not in this music store where I can't see the future.

Rui Jia came to LiveHouse in a daze, where she played bass for several bands.

Later, for some unknown reason, everyone in the room got excited and performed several encores in a row. The atmosphere in the room was almost on fire.

But Ruijia didn't feel anything. She just wanted to go home and rest.

She was so lonely hiding in the corner, playing bass with her head down.

Like the double bass in her hand, it had no sense of existence.

It wasn't until the end of the performance, when everyone dispersed to drink and celebrate, and when the band boss came over to pay Rui Jiajie the performance fee for tonight's performance, that she raised her head.

The leader of the band was very angry because the performance tonight was very good. He gave Rui Jia an extra 100 yuan and asked her if she wanted to go with them to a roadside stall for barbecue to celebrate the performance tonight. He would give Rui Jia another yuan later that night. Jia called a car to take her home.

Rui Jia shook her head, took the money and refused.

It's already very late now. If you go back later and alert your roommates, you'll be in big trouble.

The boss was not surprised that Rui Jia rejected him. After all, Rui Jia is also a weirdo in this place. He works in many bands, and the songs of each band are not forgotten. He has a good relationship with many bands, but he never likes chatting and drinking. When eating, it's like a mercenary, taking the money and running away.

It's the same this time.

So, he just gave Ruijia another 50 yuan and asked her to take a taxi home. It was already very late and it was not safe for her as a girl to walk outside at night.

Ruijia gratefully took the money from the band boss, and in the sight of the boss, turned around and went out to leave.

But she didn't take a taxi because she couldn't bear the money.

So, she just carried her huge double bass and walked towards the school.

She felt so tired and a little homesick.

I really want to be able to go back to a place like home.

Rui Jia's mind gradually went blank, and she was walking in a daze.

……

At this moment, Chen Qiu was in the study at the back of the concert hall, flipping through the biographical stories behind the music scores, and listening to the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor played by other orchestras in a daze.

The desktop is full of marked scores and parts.

The thick pile gave him some backache.

He glanced at the time and saw that it was already past one or two in the evening. Although he didn't stay up all night yet, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the command course at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and prepared to go to bed.

He made himself a cup of soy milk in the corner of the room, stood up, rubbed his waist, and walked outside the concert hall.

He doesn't like to sleep when he's dizzy. He feels that sleeping when his mind is clear is the most comfortable.

Because only in this way, when you wake up the next day, you will feel refreshed instead of feeling dizzy.

He walked to the door of the concert hall easily, opened the heavy door, stood in front of the concert hall, drank the soy milk in the cup, looked at the starless night sky above his head, and looked relaxed.

Sure enough, the cool breeze felt much more comfortable.

Chen Qiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, squatting on the steps, emptying his mind and no longer thinking about music.

Until a huge black shadow fell in front of him.

This black figure seemed to be afraid of breaking the items behind him, so he fell forward.

Chen Qiu was stunned for a moment, then walked forward. Looking at the familiar little man, Chen Qiu's pupils couldn't help but widen, and he spoke in disbelief.

"What the hell? Rui Jia?"

He cursed. This was the first time he cursed.

Because there was a girl lying in front of his house.

Confirmed that he was breathing and still alive.

I just fell asleep from exhaustion.
