Chapter 714: Team Standing and Situation

It was also November 11th, later in the morning.

The villa garden at 21 Waldstein Street.

A small listening room with a private atmosphere, good sound insulation and a wide variety of records.

"Hi, Lord Marquis McAdam, and Marquise, hello."

Fanning took his seat and greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Master Fanning."

The Marquis of McAdam, who was sitting opposite, still looked and behaved elegantly, and the face of the Marquise next to him was still radiant with nobility and kindness.

However, the unspoken authority of McAdam, the head of the academic school, seemed to have disappeared, and was replaced by a kind of strange and unpredictable mystery.

Divine projection? But why is it a little different intuitively? Fanning, who has dealt with many Order Enforcers, couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

Sitting on Fanning's own side was Roy.

She was wearing a black and white plaid shirt and pleated skirt that looked a bit "student-like" to Fanning. Her hair was cut shorter than usual and fell loosely on her shoulders. After she sat down, she kept her hands on her knees.

After McAdam poured the tea himself, the four of them each took a sip.

"It's been a while since we last met. The Marquis called us all here today. I guess he has something important to talk about, right?" Fan Ning placed the small glass cup on the table and asked with a smile.

"Nothing specific." McAdam's mouth slightly relaxed and he shook his head. "Just chatting with you guys."

"Oh?"

"How long have you known each other?"

"Three or four years." "Almost six years?"

The man and woman's voices came out in unison, but for some reason the answers didn't match.

The two looked at each other immediately.

"Is my timeline confused? I remember it was clearly the late autumn of 912 when I was in the fourth grade." Fan Ning asked in a puzzled tone.

"Didn't you play the piano accompaniment for me at the college's New Year's Eve singing event?" Roy was speechless.

"When? Why can't I remember?"

".When you were a sophomore and I was a freshman."

"Oh? Oh, so early. I was caught by the academy to be a 'tool man on the assembly line'. I played the piano accompaniment for the whole afternoon and forgot that you were one of the people I played with. How come you still remember that it was me?"

"Just tell me if you know me or not."

"."

The speed of their "confrontation" was almost taking off, and the volume was gradually approaching zero. "Interesting fate, but the first time I officially met Master Fanning was three or four years ago." The Marquise smiled kindly, lightly touched her chest, and pointed at her husband, "The first time I personally met Master Fanning was at the music salon in the town of Havale. Later, we met together at the St. Janine's Church in the imperial capital. It was very lucky and legendary. These two times, one witnessed "Death and the Maiden" and the other witnessed the great keyboard variations."

"I really have to thank your school for its support and resources." Fan Ning said sincerely, "At that time, I was a newly graduated student and an observer at the memorial service. The value of the Marquis's proposal is indeed hard to estimate. Don't be distant. Just call me Carloen."

Fanning does still have gratitude and respect for the McAdams.

As Roy's parents, they are his elders, and the two times of support from Sharon and the church were crucial.

"The 'protagonist' on the stage is the key." The Marquise laughed and nodded, "We, the older generation, have only occupied a higher position in advance, a position that allows us to exercise the power of 'lifting a hand'. In the final analysis, Carloen, this is your own achievement."

"But we are indeed moved that the young man who was full of vigor and humility at the beginning has grown into a music master with profound artistic thoughts and a great career in the past four years."

"So, Carloen, what are your expectations for this Harvest Art Festival? Or, what are your plans for the days ahead?" the Marchioness asked.

"Oh!" Fan Ning heard this and suddenly laughed, "I understand. You all came to me today to ask for someone!"

"That's easy to say. In fact, I'm a little embarrassed myself. Hahahaha, the eldest daughter that the McAdam family cultivated with great difficulty was 'poached' by Turner Cinemas two years ago."

"The Seven Days Celebration will soon be over. When I send Roy back to the academy, I will ask her to bring a few capable people from the theater with her to better help your public school and update the modern art education system."

"No, it doesn't have to be that way." McAdam shook his head.

"Huh?" Fanning smiled in confusion.

"People's minds change."

The Marchioness next to McAdam spoke kindly.

"In the past six months, we have indeed changed our minds. We think it is not necessarily a bad idea for Roy to continue to stay with you, and it is not inconsistent with the development of the academic school."

"During this period, I have listened to some stories about you and your group from Roy's place. I find them very magical and interesting. Many perspectives outside of today's 'popular or official anecdotes' are things we have never known. For example, when you were still on campus, in order to secure the qualification for the premiere of the 'First Symphony', you two carefully 'calculated' for an entire night, and in the end, struggle prevailed over compromise. Also, when composing the 'Second Symphony', how did you come up with the idea of ​​adding a chorus to the last movement, and what kind of hesitation and temptation did you go through? Haha, after listening to them, I discovered that the birth process of these two symphonies was more tortuous than I had imagined, and the most critical node was the final decision made by our Roy and Master Fanning."

"Mom." Roy, who was sitting next to her and listening obediently, couldn't help but whispered back, "You're exaggerating. It's not true."

"'Nature' is more important than 'degree'." The Marchioness looked at her daughter with a smile.

".So later we gradually realized that things related to pure artistic achievement and historical responsibility are worth pursuing, and your work together is worth supporting."

Fanning nodded.

"After the Harvest Art Festival, some things will have to be exposed." At this time, McAdam said in a low voice, "Some forces want to control everything, but more forces don't want to be controlled; some people want to climb to the top of the tower, but more people don't want to see them reach the top. Carloen, you should also be counted as one of the 'more', right?"

Fanning laughed noncommittally.

"Roy has brought Turner Art Cinemas to where they are today, and has established many connections with the academic school in all aspects." Marquis McAdam said, "And my current idea is that as long as there is still a need, I support her to continue to stay in the cinema as your deputy, and the school will provide more--"

"Taking sides is a dangerous thing, Your Excellency the Marquis." Fan Ning suddenly said seriously.

The four people in the listening room suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.

Fan Ning smiled nonchalantly, "Don't you think that my current situation is quite dangerous?"
