Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1194 454. Counterattack! Teacher Li wins the first game
The way of submitting homework is different from every previous time.

Tang Xiaoxing has handed in his homework at the professor's home, in the piano room, and on the stage of the concert hall.

The only thing I have never submitted an assignment by recording a video on my cell phone.

This is the professor’s perspective.

The professor took the phone handed to him by Tang Xiaoxing, smiled kindly, and clicked on the video content.

The melody of the Grand Polonaise sounded again.

There were four people in the car going to the concert hall, in addition to Tang Xiaoxing and the professor, there was also a driver and another student of the professor.

A Chinese boy from Malaysia.

This boy also comes from a musical family. He is six years older than Tang Xiaoxin and his purpose of coming here is also to prepare for the next Chopin Competition.

He arrived half a year earlier than Tang Xiaoxing and was more familiar with the professor's teaching habits.

The professor does not allow students to play without following the music score.

Listening to Tang Caiyun's video recording at this moment, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Tang Caiyun.

Such performance has seriously violated the professor's principles.

This reminded him of the last time he was scolded by the professor just because he played two notes lightly in a cadenza without permission.

However, something happened that surprised him greatly.

The professor actually praised Tang Caiyun for her excellent playing.

why?
The boy from Malaysia was very puzzled as to why Tang Caiyun's free-spirited performance could win the professor's favor.

Is it because the professor is in a good mood today?
Of course, he didn't want to see the professor get angry with Tang Caiyun like he did with him. He admired and liked this little sister from Yenching very much.

But he didn't understand why.
-
Just as the big boy named Huang Jingcan heard, the professor once again gave Tang Xiaoxing affirmation.

Then he smiled and returned the phone to Tang Xiaoxing.

The car became quiet again.

But Tang Xiaoxing's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

She hoped the professor would give her some additional feedback, even if it was criticism.

However, the professor was the same as always, just giving a simple compliment and that was all.

This made Tang Xiaoxing feel uncomfortable.

She was even ready for a full-scale battle. As long as the professor raised questions about her handling of something this time, she would get to the bottom of it.

This time she had to get a clear answer.

Unfortunately, the professor didn't give her any chance.

When they arrived at the entrance of the concert hall, the professor asked Huang Jingcan to take Tang Xiaoxing in first, and said that he was going to the bathroom and left.

The two people, each with their own thoughts, followed the crowd into the noisy concert hall.

A moment of silence.

Huang Jingcan: "Did the professor ask you to practice like this?"

Tang Xiaoxing: "I played it myself."

Huang Jingcan: "The professor is indeed in a good mood today."

Tang Xiaoxing: "It's okay."

Huang Jingcan lowered his voice: "Last night, A was kicked out of the classroom by the professor."

Tang Xiaoxing: "What happened?"

Huang Jingcan: "He told the professor that he didn't want to continue practicing the ballad."

Tang Xiaoxing’s first reaction was to observe a second of silence for A, even though she didn’t like talking to A.

But then she immediately thought of herself. If she told the professor that she didn't want to practice the Grand Polonaise anymore, would the professor also kick her out of the practice room?
hhhh
Huang Jingcan: "Isn't it funny?"

Tang Xiaoxing: "I didn't laugh at him, he was great."

Great? Huang Jingcan scratched the back of his head. He must have heard it right. Tang Xiaoxing actually praised A for being great!

Yes, Tang Xiaoxing really thinks A is great.

At least more courageous than her.

Another moment.

Huang Jingcan: "Why do you play like this? I mean, you know the professor doesn't want us to do this."

Tang Xiaoxing shook his head: "Just play it and it's done."

Huang Jingcan: "wwwwwwwh?"

Tang Xiaoxing was not surprised by Huang Jingcan's reaction, but she did not expect that she would actually say such "treasonous" words in person.

It’s really cool.

"Hey, Caiyun, slow down!"

Huang Jingcan quickly caught up, "Don't worry, I won't tell Hef."

If Tang Xiaoxing heard other students calling the professor by his name, he would criticize this behavior in his heart.

But today she didn't feel that way at all.

Tang Xiaoxing: "Don't be so nervous."

Huang Jingcan: ".What's wrong with you today?"

Tang Xiaoxing shrugged and swallowed the words back.

In fact, she was still a little nervous, but she was ready.

She has decided to play the guitar the same way she did in the video recording next time she attends class.

She wanted to get real feedback from the professor, even if it was like scolding other students, so that at least she would feel that everything was real.

If she continued like before, she was afraid that she would go crazy first.

She doesn't need or want to live in a preference forever.

She thought that she could get rid of her life in Yanjing after going abroad.

About fifteen minutes later, the professor returned to the concert hall and found the two.

As the soloist came on stage, the audience burst into applause.

The concert included her favorite Schubert pieces, but her attention was always between the stage and the professor beside her.

Every time her eyes met the professor's, he smiled.

She found that in these few moments, the professor's originally kind smile became extremely hypocritical.

Then, her desire to return home became stronger and stronger.

However, what Tang Xiaoxing didn't know was that his professor left before the concert not to relieve herself, but to make a phone call to her uncle.
-
22:07 Yanjing time.

As soon as Tang Qianfeng finished the call with Hef, he put down his work and called the old man.

Just now, Hef told Tang Qianfeng bluntly that Tang Xiaoxing no longer needed him, and he suggested that Tang Xiaoxing could get a new teacher.

After hearing the whole story, Tang Qianfeng sighed lightly and expressed his sincere gratitude.

In any case, Tang Xiaoxing was taken care of by the Hef family during this period of time.

The two agreed to meet again later.

Tang Qianfeng hopes not to tell Xiaoxing about this for the time being, and Hef says he knows what he should do.

"Why not bring Yun'er back in advance?" Tang Qianfeng put forward his idea.

On the other side of the conversation, Mr. Tang hesitated for a moment, "Let's proceed as planned and wait until she finishes the concert. It will be soon."

Tang Qianfeng: "Alright."

Mr. Tang: "Ask Hef to send Yun'er's new recording."

Tang Qianfeng: “Yeah.”

Mr. Tang: "What time will Li An be tomorrow afternoon?"

Tang Qianfeng: "Three-thirty, I'll send a car to pick him up at two-thirty."

Mr. Tang: "I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, too."
-
The next morning, as soon as Xiao Che opened her eyes, she saw the new recording that Tang Xiaoxing sent her.

After listening to it, she gave Tang Xiaoxing a thumbs up!

A genuine thumbs up.

After listening to the Grand Polonaise re-recorded by Tang Xiaoxing, Xiaoche became more energetic.

That’s right!
This is the performance of the talented little star in her mind!
However, Xiao Che did not receive any other recordings except this one, and she did not know whether Xiao Xing had played this recording to the professor.

Xiaoche: Good morning, Xiaoxing! This is a really great song! I love it! Have you told the professor about it?
Xiaoche: Waiting for your news! I'm going to school now. Bye, Xiaoxing

While the car was on the way to school, Mr. Tang, who was doing morning exercises, also received the new recording.

This recording was what Hef took the initiative to ask for from Tang Xiaoxing after the concert yesterday, and then sent it to Tang Qianfeng. Tang Qianfeng received it early in the morning and sent it to the old man without having time to listen to it first.

The Tang family father and son started listening to the new recording almost at the same time.

After listening to this, Tang Qianfeng understood more clearly why Hef took the initiative to turn down Xiaoxing's teaching job yesterday.

Indeed, there is a natural conflict between the teacher and the student in their approach to the work. Comparing the two recordings, it is obvious that Xiaoxing prefers the Russian approach.

And Herf is a pure German-Austrian expert.

At that time, Tang Qianfeng and his father finally decided to hand Xiaoxing over to He Fujiao in the hope that Xiaoxing could get the best of both families.

Now it seems that they really took a wrong step.

The first thing Mr. Tang wanted to hear after listening to Xiaoxing’s new recording was what Ang Lee had to say.

As early as the night when Xiao Xiao's Group C competition ended, Li An had already become Xiao Xing's next piano teacher in his mind.
-
11: 15.

Giger Piano Art Gallery.

Ang Lee ends the third movement again.

Boss X on the side sighed and applauded.

"Where do you find so much time to practice piano now?"

"Well, I'll just have to squeeze it in. I'm worried about how to practice La Er now. It feels like I don't have enough time."

"I think you might as well assign some of the things you are doing to others."

"No, brother. I just took out a mortgage this year."

"Come on, if you include the car loan, it's less than 8,000 a month, right?"

"Eight thousand is not a small amount, brother. You can't compare me with yourself."

"There will be plenty of money to be made in the future, but you should spend more time on your profession now. Your ceiling is definitely not here."

At noon, the two of them had a sumptuous buffet meal in the hotel restaurant.

During the meal, Ang Lee talked about his visit to Mr. Xie yesterday.

Like Boss X, Mr. Xie is also very concerned about Ang Lee's current piano practice.

The advice given is exactly the same as that given by Boss X.

"I have something else to do this afternoon, so I won't go with you. See you in the evening."

"See you tonight, Brother Yan."

13: 30.

Li An took a shower and changed into dry clothes.

The rain just stopped last night, but today's weather is more like a steamer.

He regretted a little why he didn't bring two more sets of clothes this time.

Music score. (√)
Pencil. (√)
Voice recorder. (√)
Room card. (√)
After checking his belongings, Li An carried his schoolbag and went downstairs to the lobby to wait.

At 14:25, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Tang Zhi's assistant."

This was my first time enjoying the special car pick-up service, and the person who came was Tang Qianfeng’s assistant commander.

Tsk tsk.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Hello Hello."

Sitting in the nanny car, Li Ang suddenly wanted to take a short video and post it on WeChat Moments.

But he just thought about it. He took the video but didn't post it on WeChat Moments.

While chatting with Tang Qianfeng's assistant about the weather in Yanjing and Chengdu, the car drove into the parking lot of the Grand Theater.

It was not yet half past three, but all the musicians were already in place on the rehearsal stage.

Ang Lee came to the stage from backstage under the guidance of his assistant. There was no applause or flowers, but Tang Qianfeng took the initiative to come forward to greet him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

Under the gaze of all the musicians, Tang Qianfeng took the initiative to extend his hands to Li Ang.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, Tang Zhi, you're welcome."

Li An hurried forward and stretched out his hands.

The two of them shook hands.

This scene made all the musicians feel a little surprised, because everyone knew that this young pianist from Chengdu was the candidate chosen by Tang Qianfeng.

That's enough to explain something.

However, it was different when Tang Qianfeng took the initiative to reach out.

In their impression, Tang Qianfeng would only humble himself and take the initiative to welcome international first-line performers when collaborating with them.

However, what happened next surprised all the musicians.

Tang Qianfeng only smiled and said, "I was really busy these past two days, so I asked Yan Qiu to make the trip."

What does this mean? Old Tang wants to go to the airport to pick up Teacher Li in person?
Although everyone knows that this is just a polite remark, the fact that Old Tang said such a polite remark in public shows that Teacher Li is definitely not just a young pianist.

Moreover, how could it be possible that the person who could make Chen Yanqiu pick him up at the airport in person had only a superficial relationship with the Tang family?

Besides, Chen Yanqiu is also a well-known figure in the Beijing circle.

Who exactly is this Teacher Li?
Li An said ashamedly: "Please don't mention it. It made Brother Yan go for nothing."

Tang Qianfeng then said with a reproachful tone: "You too, we are not strangers, don't do that next time."

"Yes, yes." Li An nodded repeatedly, sighing in his heart that interpersonal relationships are really magical.

The last time Tang Qianfeng met him, he was also very polite, but he was completely different now.

But no matter whether it was true or not, Tang Qianfeng really gave him this face.

"Tang, when do we start?" Li An went straight to the point.

Tang Qianfeng: "Don't worry, take a rest first."

Ang Lee didn't want to offend anyone, and it was really unnecessary to make so many musicians wait for him.

"Thank you, Tang Zhi. I'm ready and can start anytime."

Ang Lee's words instantly won the favor of many musicians. Starting early means finishing early, and who doesn't want to get off work early?

Seeing this, Tang Qianfeng nodded appreciatively: "Then let's get started."

Instantly the entire stage was in motion.

Get to work.

Ang Lee did not go off the stage to put down his bag. He first came to the orchestra's conductor and stretched out his hands.

This is basic courtesy as a soloist.

Tang Qianfeng's principal immediately put down his zither and stood up to greet Li Ang's outstretched hands.

Face is given to each other.

It’s just that Ang Lee bent his waist lower.

This scene won the favor of some musicians.

This young man from Chengdu is really nice and polite.

Ang Lee stood up and looked around at the musicians, half bowed solemnly, then turned around and walked to the piano to put down the schoolbag on his back.

He took out the music score, pencil and recorder in an orderly manner, and finally placed the schoolbag next to the piano leg.

The auditorium surrounding the concert hall stage was so large that Ang Lee could not even notice the pair of eyes watching him from afar.

From the moment he took the stage.

Old man Tang Zhongfu had already arrived at a corner of the audience seats before the musicians had finished setting up their instruments.

To be honest, this was the first time he met Ang Lee in real life.

It has to be said that it was a little different from what he had imagined.

Better than he imagined.

He had begun to like this young man from Chengdu a little.

Fang Yongbo's vision is indeed good.

Although he has not yet heard Ang Lee's live piano performance in person.
