Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1205 465. Full-time director online! Determined Xiaoxing
"Sister Xu, do you still remember the receptionist at Yudong Campus? The one who asked Wang Xiaohu if he had finished his homework as soon as she saw him. Sister Wang, Wang Meili."

As soon as Li An mentioned Wang Xiaohu's homework, Xu Li immediately remembered, "Where did she go? I don't think I've seen her since."

"I went to the Art Examination Department." Li An thought about turning back to ask first. He guessed that the Art Examination Department had started to be busy recently.

"It would be great if she could come. Her work ability is impeccable and she is also warm and friendly. She is just a bit of a nag, but her character is absolutely impeccable. She is a very good sister."

Recalling when Xiao Li first joined Lantian, he received a lot of care from Wang Meili.

Xu Li nodded: "That's great."

Li An: "Let me ask first. If Sister Wang can't come, we can talk about it later."

Before finishing his dinner, Li An received a call from Liu Zhen.

"I said I'd call you after dinner."

Li An gestured to Lao Li and Xiao Che to eat first, then he went to the kitchen with his cell phone and lit a cigarette.

Liu Zhen on the other end of the phone sounded like he had just finished exercising. "I just finished playing ball with my boss. I haven't had time to drink water since noon."

Li Anle: "What kind of ball are you playing? You are so tired, take a break and drink some water."

Liu Zhen: "Ping pong, let Xiao Xu tell you about that."

Li An: "What's going on? Didn't they say it was a small event on June 1? Now they're going to make a big move."

Liu Zhen: "What will you do if the leader says so? Forget about that. Do you have a plan?"

Ang Lee: "You think I'm a god? It's only been a few hours, and I don't know anything about it. How is the stage built? Who will build it? Who will provide the lighting and sound? It's not that simple. If we really want to make it big, then one main stage will definitely not be enough. According to the current program content, we have at least..."

Liu Zhen interrupted directly: "My art director, please stop telling me these things!"

"You can do whatever you want with this matter. The school fully supports you. All school activities will give way to you before Children's Day. I don't care about the sound and lighting and the stage setting you mentioned. The school wants a wonderful performance. The stage budget is at least 500,000, and there is no upper limit. Do you understand?"

Ang Lee took a deep breath, this really seemed like a big deal.

But, just as Li An was about to speak, he heard the other person on the phone continue, "Your share is separate."

Ang Lee grinned. Old Liu is really something. Is this what I want to ask?

Liu Zhen: "Any other questions?"

Ang Lee: "There are so many problems. Lao Liu, you don't understand what I mean. I can't build a stage. I'm not working for an entertainment company."

Liu Zhen: "Go ahead and look for someone. Aren't all people in your circle doing this?"

Li An understood: "Who is the school's chief person in charge of this activity?"

Liu Zhen: "I, do you have any other questions?"

Li An: "No more, just wait for me to believe it."

Liu Zhen: "Hurry up, hurry up! We are running out of time."

Ang Lee: "The show will be on the evening of May 31st. We still have 16 days. It will only take a week at most to set up the stage and the show."

Liu Zhen: "What happened to the show?"

Ang Lee: "I have already held a meeting this afternoon to discuss this issue with everyone. According to what I learned this afternoon, our programs are almost enough, but now it seems that the programs we have to review are not enough, far from enough."

Liu Zhen: "Just tell me."

Li An thought for a moment: "Our school currently has a total of 67 extracurricular literacy clubs. Now a total of 16 clubs have signed up for programs. Add our school's internal clubs and programs organized by individual teachers, and the total number is 25, which is not enough."

Liu Zhen: "Isn't that enough? If we calculate one show as four minutes long, it would add up to almost two hours."

Lee Ang: "I mean it's not filtered enough."

After a pause, "On Sunday, at the latest before Sunday, all teachers of off-campus literacy classes must provide a program plan that can be performed on stage."

Liu Zhen: "All off-campus clubs?"

Li An: "Yes, but you don't need to include programming or natural science. As long as it's something that moves, including sports like fencing, you have to make a program."

Liu Zhen: "Okay."

Li An: "Let's talk about it later. Let them submit their programs first. When we send them a notice, tell them that the programs will be reviewed on Thursday or Friday."

Liu Zhen: "Is this okay? Only four days are left."

Li An: "Why does the school spend so much money to support them? Just let them submit a report on the club's work at the end of the semester."

Liu Zhen: "So will the programs originally scheduled for review on Monday also be postponed to Thursday or Friday?"

Ang Lee: "Their plans remain unchanged. We can discuss the issues regarding these programs when we meet."

Liu Zhen: "I'll ask Director Zheng to issue a notice in a moment."

Li An: "Also, we can collect some performances from the middle school and create such a big stage to give our older children some opportunities."

Liu Zhen: "Okay, is there anything else that needs to be deployed in advance?"

Li An: "That's all for now. We'll see the results of the collection next week."

After a pause, he said, "Old Liu, let me tell you something. The programs are just minor issues. On a stage like this, we just perform. For example, our symphony orchestra, we can't let the children really play the instruments. It's just a formality. We must record in advance, including the singing and dancing programs."

Liu Zhen: "Well, the problem now is how to string the programs together."

Ang Lee: "Not really. The problem now is to determine the theme of this stage. Only after the theme is determined can we decide how to arrange the program."

There was silence on the phone for a moment.

Liu Zhen: "What do you think?"

Li An: "Monday, I'll get the plan on Monday."

Liu Zhen: "Thank you for your hard work."

Li An: "Well, it's just to make money, why is it so hard? You are the one who is working hard."

Liu Zhen smiled: "This trip to Yanjing was quite fruitful."

Ang Lee: "That's great. Let's go and see the show next month. Do you have time then?"

Liu Zhen: "Okay."

Both of them laughed on the phone. There was no time for that.

After hanging up the phone, Li An sighed and put the phone on the stove, then raised his hand and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box.

Just then, there were knocking sounds behind me.

He turned around and saw Xiaoche pouting with dissatisfaction on his face through the window.

Then he smiled and put the cigarette back into the box.

"Have you finished eating?" Li An opened the sliding door.

Xiao Che nodded: "I didn't eavesdrop. Teacher, your noodles are all soaked."

Li An smiled: "Go ahead, don't worry about your phone for now, I think Xiaoxing will reply to your message tonight."

"Yeah!" Xiaoche ran to the study happily.

Li An returned to the dinner table and Lao Li asked him what was wrong.

"About the school play."

Then he picked up his chopsticks and symbolically took two bites, "Dad, I have something to do outside. Leave the noodles here. I'll come back to eat them in the evening."

Old Li thought to himself that he wouldn't be able to eat this in the evening, "Go ahead, I'll make you some if you're hungry when you come back in the evening."

"It has to be my dad." Li An grinned and put down his chopsticks.

Old Li laughed and scolded: "Go on your way."

After Li Ang left, Lao Li started to clean up the table.

While he was cleaning up, he wondered why the boss was so busy that he hadn't even eaten a bite of his meal.

Li An drove out of the garage and called Fu Tianming.
-
Half an hour later.

Xiao Ming Mood House.

Fu Tianming gave Li An an estimate. According to the requirements described by Li Ang, in the current market environment, the stage would cost no more than 200,000 yuan. "I'll send someone to take a look tomorrow. I estimate it's about this amount. What is the budget the school has given you?"

"Fifty."

"Good boy, you made a fortune then."

Li An waved his hand: "I didn't think of this money."

Fu Tianming laughed: "Who would believe it if you don't make money? Do you believe it? Ask the school leaders if they believe it. You have taken over the project, so you can't wash it clean."

Li An: "I'm worried about the theme of the event now, brother!"

"Brother Ming, Brother An." At this time, the waiter Mumu brought a pot of tea.

Fu Tianming: "Leave it there."

Li An: "Mumu, wait a minute, bring me a plate of rice crust."

Fu Tianming: "Haven't you eaten yet? Mumu, go next door and order two servings of beef rice. It just so happens that I didn't eat in the afternoon."

Li An: "Just eat it. I won't. Mumu, just order one portion."

Mumu will not stay where he is anymore.
Fu Tianming curled his lips: "Can't you just eat with me? Mumu, go quickly."

"Besides, why are you so worried? It's not like there's no show." Fu Tianming brought over a plate of rice crusts. "Don't you know what a stage is?"

Li An: "Tsk tsk, you don't even pretend anymore. Two years ago you were still talking about art."

"You're wrong." Fu Tianming smiled proudly, "What I want to talk about is stage art."

"When the time comes, 30 sets of lights will be turned on, the 30-meter stage will be set off, laser lights will flicker under the night sky, the audience will be filled with children, each holding a fluorescent stick and waving it, eight sets of large speakers will roar, dynamic music, children's laughter, cicadas chirping in the evening breeze, you just watch, any theme is a good theme."

Lee Ang: “You’re talking about the atmosphere.”

"That's right, Mr. Li," Fu Tianming picked up a piece of rice crust and put it into his mouth, "This kind of stage is all about the atmosphere."

Ang Lee really wanted to roll his eyes: "I know, so the question is, what is the theme? Forget it, I'll just wait for our literary director."

Fu Tianming: "Your guide should also understand the situation first. When you go to buy a car, the salesperson will ask you about your needs first. Tell me one first."

Li An thought for a moment and said, "Let's pursue our dreams."

Fu Tianming clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Let's chase our dreams! Kunpeng spreads its wings and flies far away to chase our dreams."

Li An felt as if a new light had suddenly appeared in his eyes when he heard this. He grabbed a handful of rice crust and urged, "It has to be our screenwriter Fu Da. Keep going."

Fu Tianming was happy: "Wait, Director, look, there's a message."

Fu Tianming glanced at his phone and said, "There is another intersection. Let's drink something today. We haven't had a drink in a long time."

Li An: "Come on, open the wine."
-
Three hours passed in a flash.

Xiaoche packed his schoolbag, washed up, went to bed, picked up his phone and waited.

Waiting for Xiaoxing is also waiting for the teacher.

She also didn't know whether Xiaoxing would reply to her message today.

Referring to the past few days, Xiaoxing would definitely reply to her message before she went to bed.

But the situation is different today. Xiaoxing resumed piano practice today and also has to take professional classes.

Just then, a message popped up.

Little Star: Linlin is asleep!
Xiaoche quickly replied: I just finished washing up. Are you done with get out of class? How was your class?

Little Star: I just finished a get out of class. It went pretty well. The professor didn't ask me to play the Grand Polonaise. He just talked to me about the previous etudes and didn't say anything else before the get out of class ended.

Xiaoche: The professor might be scared and doesn’t dare to let you play the Grand Polonaise!

Little Star: Hahaha, the professor is in a good mood today. Linlin, was the recording you sent me the one you recorded this morning?

Xiaoche: Yes!
Little Star: Teacher Li didn’t notice, right?

Xiaoche: No! What’s the matter?
Little Star: That’s good! Thank you, Linlin. I was in a very good state when practicing the piano today. Thank you, Teacher Li!

Xiaoche smiled and said after a moment: Then I will thank him for you!

Little Star: No!
Little Star: Linlin, that’s not what I meant!
Xiaoche: I’m just kidding, but I think the teacher’s comments on you are really pertinent. What do you think?
Little Star: No teacher has ever told me that I played badly, including Teacher Chen. No matter how I played, even if I knew I played badly, he would always encourage me and say I could do better. Only Teacher Li was willing to point out my problems.

Xiaoche: Hahahaha, it seems that Xiaoxing you really need criticism!

Little Star: No! Wrong! I'm tired of being told I have no problems when I clearly have them! I just want to hear criticism now!

Xiaoche: Then I have a suggestion for you. You should just learn piano from the teacher. The teacher is very good at criticizing us.
Little Star: Huh? Teacher Li also criticizes you?

Xiaoche: Of course, the teacher is the strictest with me. He looks gentle, but when he really sees that there is something wrong with me, he will not be polite at all. Xiaoxing, you should learn piano with the teacher, so that the teacher will lower his requirements on me.

Little Star: Why?
Xiaoche: Because you play the piano better than me, when you come, the teacher’s firepower will be directed at you!
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: No way! I just play more repertoire than you!

Xiaoche: Xiaoxing, you can learn from the teacher!

Little Star: Me.
Xiaoche: Since you have decided not to study with your current professor, you must tell your family, right? Then your grandfather and uncle must find a new teacher for you, right? Since you have to find a new teacher, why not choose Teacher Li who will criticize you?
Little Star: I am worried that Teacher Li will not accept me, and I have to go back to Moscow at the end of next month, so I can’t keep taking classes with Teacher Li.
Xiaoche: How could the teacher not accept you? The teacher likes you very much! You can take online lessons with the teacher! Besides, if you don’t give it a try, I’m afraid you won’t have any chance at all. If you really want to learn piano with the teacher, if I were you, I would tell my family directly about my idea.

a long time.

Little Star: OK! I'll call my dad right away!
Xiaoche: Come on, Xiaoxing!

Little Star: If my dad doesn’t agree, I won’t return home this time.

Xiao Che scratched her head, as if she could see Tang Xiaoxing's resolute expression through the screen.

This, this, this.
Followed by.

Little Star: Linlin, go to sleep! I'm going to make a phone call, don't wait for me!

Xiaoche made up his mind: Wait for you!

Little Star: It will take a long time!

The car sent a struggling little rabbit over, and then threw the phone aside.

It was a bit hot, a bit depressing, and a bit nervous. Xiaoche hadn't felt this way for a long time.

Although she knew which direction things would develop, her heart was still on Tang Xiaoxing at this moment.

Because Tang Xiaoxing knows nothing.

Come on, Xiaoxing.
-
five minutes later.

In the yard of Old Tang’s house.

Ever since Tang Jingren's cell phone rang and they learned that it was Xiaoxing calling, Mr. Tang and the others remained silent.

"it is good."

Tang Jingren smiled into the phone and said, "Think about it again. We'll talk about it when you've made up your mind. Once you've made up your mind, let your grandfather contact Teacher Li in person."

Then Tang Xiaoxing's stubborn voice came from the speakerphone, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I just want to learn piano with Teacher Li. I'm willing to take online classes."

Tang Jingren: "Okay, then I'll let grandpa contact Teacher Li tomorrow."

Tang Xiaoxing: "Thank you, Dad."

Tang Jingren: "You are still so polite to your father. You can call your mother later when you have time. Remember to close the doors and windows."

Tang Xiaoxing: "Well, don't worry, Dad. Good night, Dad."

"Good night."

Tang Jingren put down his phone, and Old Man Tang sighed with relief.

Tang Qianfeng couldn't help but wonder: "How did Li An do it?"

Not only Tang Qianfeng, everyone had a question mark in their mind at this moment.

Even if everything goes according to plan, isn't Mr. Li's efficiency a bit too high?

"Jingren, call Teacher Li right away."
