Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1209 469. Yan Zhen is waiting! The first stage of the interview

Conductor = piano teacher?

After Fang Yongbo said thank you, Ang Lee seemed to understand what was going on.

It seems that this commander who is coming to help him is going to work for him for a long time, and he also has a golden meal ticket issued by Brother Bo.

"Brother Bo, I'm really in need of a piano teacher."

As he spoke, Li An slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

Fang Yongbo: "That's great, let Xiao Yan follow you, you can rest assured about the professional aspect."

Li An: "The person you recommended must be very professional. Is he a local?"

Fang Yongbo: "His hometown is Chengdu, but he grew up in Xi'an and went to college there. He should be one year younger than you. His father plays the erhu in the Xi'an Civic Orchestra. He helped me a lot when I was in charge of Xi'an Jiaotong University."

So that’s it, it’s the child of an old friend.

Li An probably understood: "This little brother Yan is planning to return to Chengdu to develop."

Fang Yongbo: "Xishi couldn't survive anymore, so his father chased him back. You young people can discuss the details among yourselves. I'll leave the man to you."

Li An and Xu Li looked at each other when they heard this. Why did this sound more and more wrong the more they listened to it?

Isn't this a big trouble?

"Brother Bo, that's a bit too polite, don't worry."

Fang Yongbo: "His name is Yan Zhen. I will send him your WeChat in a while. I have basically told him about your situation. He also wants to follow you. Anyway, you can contact me anytime if there is any situation. When the time comes, you can follow your rules and don't worry about anything."

After a pause, he said, "Just consider it as helping my brother."

Li An: "Well, don't worry about Bo Ge's matter. I know that he majored in piano and then studied conducting?"

Fang Yongbo: "I learned piano when I was young, and both my undergraduate and graduate studies were in composition, with conducting as my minor."

Lee Ang: “That’s amazing.”

Fang Yongbo: "His major is fine. Even though he just graduated, he has two years of experience in group travel. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Li An: "Okay, Brother Bo, you go ahead and do your work. I'm on my way home now. I'll wait for him to contact me."

Fang Yongbo: "Are you free on Sunday night?"

Li Anle: "The usual place at 7:30."

Fang Yongbo: "Don't be late again."

After hanging up the phone with Fang Yongbo, Li An didn't know what to say for a moment.

The problem of the piano teacher that he was worried about was solved, and the problem of the resident conductor of the book troupe was also solved, but it seemed that a new problem had arisen.

Isn't he a problem youth?
"Sister Xu, what do you think?"

"The person recommended by Commander Fang should be fine."

"I know, but I just feel a little uneasy."

Li An started the car again and said, "Let's meet first."

Xu Li: "Well, don't worry about the stage quotation for now, wait and see what Liu Zhen says."

Back to the issue of setting up the stage, Ang Lee was somewhat unhappy.

Fu Tianming replied to him in the afternoon. According to Zhou Song's on-site investigation and the needs of the book lovers, the cost of building this stage can be controlled at around 150,000.

There was another thing. When Zheng Tieming accompanied Zhou Song to look at the venue in the afternoon, he also asked Zhou Song about the cost of setting up the stage.

Zhou Song estimated the price to Zheng Tieming to be around 350,000.

This was something that Li An neglected. Zheng Tieming even called him yesterday.

Zheng Tieming said on the phone that he had resources from an entertainment company, and it was obvious that he wanted to join forces with him to do something.

Normally he should have informed Zhou Song in advance today, but he drank some wine last night and completely forgot about it.

Li An: "Let's do this for now. I'll call Liu Zhen when I get back. He must have already met with Zheng Tieming. The stage plan here needs to be finalized quickly. Fu Tianming needs to prepare the construction plan in advance."

Xu Li: "Well, stop here, I'm going to the supermarket."

Li An: "Bye Sister Xu, see you tomorrow."
-
After returning home, Li An talked with Lao Li for a while.

Now that Xiaoche has returned home, Lao Li is alone at home like an empty-nest elderly person.

"Dad, you continue watching TV. I still have some work to do. I can go out tomorrow morning. You can just have breakfast by yourself."

"Will you come back for dinner tomorrow night?"

Old Li knew that once his son entered the bedroom, the next time they would meet would be tomorrow afternoon.

"Come back and eat."

Li An will not be on the live broadcast tomorrow night. "Tomorrow night I want to eat some noodles."

Old Li responded, "I know, go ahead."

"Goodnight, Dad."

After saying that, Li An washed up and went back to the bedroom.

But Yan Zhen hasn't contacted him yet.

No more waiting.

Li An called Liu Zhenxian.

What Li An didn't expect was that Lao Liu was quite happy.

"Mr. Zheng has consulted before, and several quotes were all around 400,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Li An immediately felt relieved. Wasn't he the host?
He said: "We'll have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to find out the exact amount. Let's try to keep it within thirty-five. Besides the stage, there are other places where we can spend money, so we should save as much as possible."

Lao Liu: "Well, how is the theme plan going? Can it be out on Monday?"

Li An: "It's no use urging me. I have to summarize all the programs before I can come up with the final plan. I won't go on Monday. Let the teacher review the first batch of programs first. How is the feedback from your notification? I have to review the new programs on Wednesday and Thursday."

Lao Liu: "Everyone has replied. All the selected clubs have submitted their programs. However, some clubs submitted old programs with slightly changed names. You can take a look at them when the time comes. If they don't work, we can discuss it later. I don't think we need so many programs."

Li An: "Okay, let's see when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone with Lao Liu, Li An received a friend verification message.

[Yan Zhen has been waiting for the request to add a friend: Hello, Mr. Li An, sorry to bother you, I am Yan Zhen, Commander Fang asked me to add you]

Ok.

Judging from the verification information, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this little Yan guy.

But wait a minute, buddy.

"Hey busy man, are you done?"

Li An then called Qin Yong.

Qin Yong said unhappily on the phone, "You really know how to keep track of time. I didn't even change my shoes when I got home."

Li Anle: "Then I'm sorry to bother you changing your shoes."

Qin Yong: "Of course not. Did you do it well this afternoon?"

Li An: "Not bad. I need to borrow Fang Zheng for two afternoons next week."

Qin Yong: "Just ask him to arrange his classes in advance. I'll just ask why you came back today."

Li An: "Then you must have something to do when you came back, right brother?"

Qin Yong heard this tone and said, "What else do you have? Let me tell you first. I know you are busy recently, and the Art Examination Department has a lot of things going on recently. I don't have anyone to lend you anything."

Li An: "No, no, I want someone."

Good guy? !

Qin Yong: "You want someone? Who do you want?"

Li An: "Wang Meili."

Qin Yong understood immediately after hearing this, and said, "Okay, then what do you want to exchange with me?"

Li Anle: "You say."

Qin Yong: "Give me two master classes."

Lee An: “Deal.”

Qin Yong: "Hiss, it's so refreshing, why do I feel like I'm losing out?"

Li An: "But I also told you in advance that I really don't have time to go back to teach. I will only be in charge of recruiting students and not teaching."

Qin Yong: “That’s refreshing.”

There was only so much that Li An could do about the current predicament of the Art Examination Department. Even if Wang Meili hadn't happened, he would have taken the initiative to help Qin Yong.

Because Qin Yong not only helped him, but was also a real brother to him.

The two briefly chatted about today's enrollment issues.

Finally, "Brother Yong, Sister Meili's salary for this month will be mine. I'll ask her to do the handover later."

Qin Yong: "Go away. Are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait until the end of this month?"

Li An: "What can she do if she goes there three days a week? I am really worried."

Qin Yong: "Okay, okay, I get it. Give me three days."

Li An: "Thank you, brother. Take a rest now."

After hanging up the phone with Qin Yong again, Li An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was so busy today that he was almost exhausted.

But the results are pretty good.

Shu Ren's work is progressing steadily, and Shi Po's side seems to be doing exceptionally well after receiving the delegation of power from Principal Min.

Li An really needs to praise Principal Min.

Comparing the two schools, one focuses on appearance, the other focuses on substance.

Ang Lee cannot say that there is anything wrong with the book people pursuing face-saving projects. If a private school does not find ways to recruit students and make money, what kind of private school is it?

But he couldn't help being moved by Principal Min's passion for education.

What a simple idea: to make students happy.

So even though the remuneration offered by Shipo is relatively meager, just for the sake of making the children happy, Ang Lee will do his best to make Shipo's Children's Day performance a great success.

Now there is only one last issue left to deal with on Shipo’s program list - the instrumental ensemble score of Big Fish and Begonia.

It's a good opportunity to see what this brother Yan is capable of. He majored in composition for both his undergraduate and graduate studies, so there shouldn't be any problem for him to write an orchestration, right?

Ang Lee passed the verification.

The next second, the other party's message came.

Yan Zhen is waiting: Hello, Mr. Li An
Ba Wanyi: Hello, is it convenient for me to call?
Yan Zhenyi said: It’s convenient, let me call you. Are you available to answer now?
8001: Convenient

Three seconds later, a strange phone call came from Xishi.

"Hey."

"Hello, Mr. Li An."

Li Anxin thought that the young man's voice sounded quite sunny and steady.

Li An: "Hello, I have basically understood the situation on your side, and you should also know the situation on my side."

Yan Zhen: "Yeah, go ahead."

Li An: "We are all family, so let's not be polite. I am really in a hurry right now. If you have no problem, you can come to work tomorrow."

Yan Zhen was stunned on the phone, and said a little embarrassedly: "Commander Fang said you have another interview here."

Li An: "Then let's just have a simple interview over the phone. Just two questions."

Yan Zhen: "Please ask."

Li An: "How do you usually call Brother Bo? Commander Fang?"

Yan Zhen: "Fang Bo."

Li Anle: "Second question, what does Bo Ge usually call you?"

Yan Zhen: "Dog egg."

Cough!

Good, good, good Gou Dan.

Ang Lee really couldn't hold it back, and at the same time, his evaluation of this little brother increased even more.

Being able to say the word "Goudan" so calmly.

Ang Lee: "Is there any more?"

Yan Zhen: "Yan boy, the one from Yan Dong's family."

Li An: "Okay, then I will call you Xiao Yan from now on. You don't have to call me yours. We don't have you in piano classroom number 4. We are all teachers. Brother Bo said I am older than you, so you can just call me Brother An."

Yan Zhen: "Brother An, this is not appropriate. According to seniority, I have to call you uncle."

Li An was shocked: "No, let's just talk about our own things. Bo Ge said he handed you over to me, and he didn't say much else, so if you have any needs, just tell me directly, don't be polite."

Yan Zhen: "Brother An, I just want to do it with you. I don't care what you do."

Li Anle: "Have you ever heard of Piano Classroom No. 4?"

Yan Zhen: "I have been cramming for two days. I have finished watching all the teaching videos of the four steels and watched most of the classroom recordings."

Li An: "Did you know me before?"

Yan Zhen: "I know. Fang Bo has posted it on WeChat Moments."

Li An: "Okay, come to work tomorrow if it's convenient for you."

Yan Zhen: "What do you need to prepare?"

Li An: "All right, you need to bring something, like a cup or something. Oh, by the way, we don't have an office."

Yan Zhen: "I know, there is only one specific meeting room, which is also a restaurant."

Li An smiled: "It seems that I won't need to introduce you any more tomorrow."

Yan Zhen also laughed: "Sister Xu, Sister Xiaoyun, Brother Chong, Brother Tao, Sister Xin, and the principal."

Okay, Li Ang nodded. As expected, he has been with the group for two years and knows a lot about it.

Li An: "Do you live far away?"

Yan Zhen: "Not far, I live in the old family compound in Shengge, it only takes 20 minutes by bike."

Li An: "Are Dad and Mom still in Xishi?"

Yan Zhen: "Well, my dad hasn't retired yet, so I don't know if they will come back when the time comes. Anyway, I won't leave when I come back this time."

Li An: "Chengdu is nice, but it's too hot. Let's meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and talk about it."

Yan Zhen: "Okay, An Ge, how long will it take me to prepare a piece of music tomorrow?"

Li An: "Ah? What song are you preparing?"

Yan Zhen: "Fang Bo asked me to prepare it, but I didn't even know what piece of music I had to prepare, and he didn't tell me."

Li An understood: "No need for the song, but I have a job on hand right now."

Yan Zhen: "Brother An, you say!"

Ang Lee: "There is a June 1st program in a school, an ensemble of instruments, and the piece is Big Fish and Begonia. The current parts include Hulusi, flute, clarinet, guitar, and violin. I also plan to add five or six more instrumental parts to make it look better and sound better. Can you write an arrangement?"

Yan Zhen on the other end of the phone knew that the real interview had finally arrived and he had finally waited for this moment.

A moment later, "How many people are there in each voice part?"

Li An: "It was just one person. The first five parts were played by the students, and the parts added later were all played by the teacher."

Yan Zhen: "What instruments are included in the teacher's voice part?"

Ang Lee: "All orchestral music is fine. You can play freely."

Yan Zhen: "How is the stage sound effect of the performance?"

Ang Lee: "It's very dry. No sound shielding or recording."

Yan Zhen: “Can we use percussion instruments?”

Ang Lee: "At most two percussion teachers, any other questions?"

Yan Zhen: "No problem, Brother An, I'll give you the score tomorrow morning."

Li An was slightly surprised. This was a lot of work.

Unconsciously, he was looking forward to it.

Piano teacher, composer, conductor, this three-in-one talent is rare no matter where you are.

For a moment, Ang Lee was a little confused. Why would such a talent be willing to come to him?
After making an appointment for tomorrow morning, Li An hung up the phone and opened the other party’s circle of friends.

You don’t know until you see it, and once you see it, you will feel numb.

What the hell is this?!
