The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 364 Departure, Hamburg

The performance of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra came to a temporary end after this performance at the monastery.

They had originally booked performances for a full half month, but they had not expected that after the performances in Baden-Baden and the monastery, they would have to wait nearly a week until their last concert.

As a qualified and excellent orchestra conductor, Chen Qiu is naturally not the Zhou Bapi type of person.

The night he returned to the hotel, he asked everyone to confirm the follow-up procedures with him.

Because the orchestra would not be heading to Salzburg until three days later, they decided to give everyone a three-day vacation.

If you want to stay in Frankfurt during these three days, the orchestra will reserve a room for you and you can continue to stay here.

If you don't plan to stay in Frankfurt and want to go somewhere else, Chen Qiu won't stop you.

Each person will be given 200 Euros for round-trip tickets and 50 Euros per night for accommodation, and you can find a place to play on your own.

You can keep the extra money for yourself, and make up the shortfall yourself.

Anyway, everyone has given you their standards, so don't accuse me of thinking about saving money or anything.

Seeing Chen Qiu being so generous, everyone cheered and the sleepiness in their heads immediately dissipated a lot. They made appointments in groups of three or five to see where to go for fun in the next three days.

Some action-oriented people have already started looking at air tickets and train tickets to Paris, Milan, Rome, Barcelona, ​​Copenhagen, or other places.

It would be such a waste to come to Europe and just wander around Germany.

If you don’t visit other cities in Europe, wouldn’t it be a waste of your trip?

Although the last-minute tickets may be much more expensive, after deducting the 100 Euro subsidy given by Chen Qiu, it is actually not that bad, and it is not such a loss. The prices are still within an acceptable range.

Some people want to save money, so they won’t choose expensive travel options.

After taking a quick look at the ticket prices at Deutsche Bahn, they decided to take a stroll around Frankfurt.

For example, take a trip to Cologne, which is not far away.

Or take a trip to Strasbourg, France.

Although the distance is not far, the premium is not high, and the money given by Chen Qiu can basically cover it perfectly, and even some can be left.

Chen Qiu doesn't care how these people book their tickets; he just lets them decide for themselves.

Chen Qiu decided to go to Hamburg with a team of six people, including Su Yue, Qin Xian, Ai Gu, Rui Jia and Huang Xin.

After confirming everyone's itinerary, Chen Qiu returned to his room to rest.

Because he was too excited about the performance and there were no follow-up performances, Chen Qiu slept until after eight o'clock the next morning.

In the summer in Germany, the sun rises very early, and it is fully up at around five o'clock.

The sunlight shone through the glass onto Chen Qiu's big bed, forcing Chen Qiu to stretch out his arms to block the light falling on his eyelids.

Then, as if feeling that covering his eyelids with his arms was bad for his eyes, Chen Qiu couldn't help but mutter something, then he turned over, ready to turn over and take a nap with his back to the sun.

only……

When Chen Qiu turned over, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The originally dazzling sunlight gradually dimmed.

It was as if it was covered by a veil.

Even though there was still some sunlight in the house, it was much milder.

It won't be too uncomfortable when it falls on people's eyes.

Such a strange feeling made Chen Qiu's original sleepiness dissipate a lot. He stood up blankly, looked up at the figure sitting by the window, and said in confusion.

"Huh? Qin Xian? Up so early?"

"..."

Qin Xian didn't answer.

He just sat awkwardly at the desk in the room, his hands on his legs, sitting respectfully like a primary school student, looking like he was listening to a lecture.

He was even dressed and seemed ready to go out.

It is clear.

He was not the one who closed the curtains.

Chen Qiu only reacted at this time.

There are three people in the room.

In addition to him and Qin Xian, there was a third person present.

At this time, the slender figure by the window turned around, looked at Chen Qiu, nodded slightly, and said softly.

"Qin Xian, you did get up very early."

"..."

Chen Qiu was silent, then he suddenly picked up his quilt and wrapped himself in it, glaring at Qin Xian and saying with gritted teeth.

"No, Qin Xian, why didn't you call me after you let Su Yue in? I'm still in bed! Although I don't have the habit of sleeping naked...but isn't it a bit bad to let Su Yue see me lying on the bed?"

Qin Xian glanced at Chen Qiu, then at Su Yue, and sighed slightly.

"Chief Su Yue asked me not to wake you up. She said you were a little tired from performing recently and you should rest more. She made you some coffee. Do you want some?"

"…Give me a drink, thank you."

Qin Xian stood up, picked up the coffee on the desk and brought it to the table next to Chen Qiu.

But Chen Qiu didn't move.

He just sat on the bed, looked helplessly at Su Yue by the window, and asked in a low voice.

"Well, I'm going to get up. Is it convenient for you..."

"Okay, I got it. I'll wait for you downstairs in the cafeteria."

Su Yue didn't seem surprised at all.

She hummed softly, then stood up and left gracefully.

But when she left, she stopped half a step in front of Chen Qiu's window, glanced at Chen Qiu, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile that Chen Qiu could not understand, and then left.

After confirming that Su Yue had completely left the room, Chen Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the coffee beside him and took a sip, then looked at Qin Xian unhappily and pouted.

"Come on, Qin Xian, even if you let Su Yue in because of her aura, you should have let her wait at the door for a while instead of letting her in directly. What do you think?"

"No way, she wants to come in."

Qin Xian glanced at Chen Qiu with a slightly hesitant expression.

He is struggling.

He was struggling over whether to tell Chen Qiu that Su Yue had been sitting by the window watching him, with a gentler expression than he had ever seen before.

He thought about it and felt that even if he said it out loud, it would probably be meaningless.

After all, Chen Qiu would probably just laugh foolishly after hearing it, but Su Yue would be unhappy.

So after thinking for a moment, he said to Chen Qiu.

"Chief Su Yue cares about you very much. She originally planned to call you out, but when she saw you sleeping soundly and thought of how tired you were from performing a few days ago, she didn't call you."

"...are you really using Su Yue as a shield?"

Seeing that Qin Xian seemed to want to explain, Chen Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"It's okay, just a joke. I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect that the first person I saw when I woke up would be Su Yue..."

As Chen Qiu spoke, he touched the pajamas he was wearing, with a slightly frightened expression.

"But fortunately, I don't have a habit of sleeping naked outside. Otherwise, I would be considered a hooligan if I woke up naked."

After saying that, Chen Qiu rubbed his neck, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After he simply cleaned himself up, he appeared in front of Qin Xian wearing a simple white T-shirt and black shorts, and smiled at Qin Xian.

"Let's go, pack up a bit and check out."

"It's already packed, just go."

Qin Xian stood up, picked up the two suitcases placed aside, and said to Chen Qiu.

"Speaking of which, Commander Chen Qiu, I don't think I've seen you dressed like this before? Isn't this a little... too casual?"

"I can't help it. The previous performance tasks were too heavy. I can't dress like this in front of those responsible. It's a bit disrespectful. So I can only wear it during breaks. I can relax when there are no performance tasks."

Chen Qiu replied with a smile.

He then looked at Qin Xian, who was still so serious in long sleeves and long pants, and couldn't help but touch his chin, hesitantly.

"But then again, don't you think you're wearing too much? Don't you feel hot? The summer in Germany is not to be trifled with."

"It's not bad actually. My clothes are thin and the wind is strong."

Qin Xian shook his head, pushed one of the luggage to Chen Qiu, and nodded.

"Let's go, Chief Su Yue is still waiting for us downstairs."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Qin Xian is showing off now!"

After Chen Qiu smiled and joked at Qin Xian, he took the luggage from him and went downstairs.

The elevators in Europe are very small. Two people plus two pieces of luggage are already packed full. It feels like breathing is a little difficult in the elevator.

After finally squeezing out of the elevator, Chen Qiu was just about to take a few deep breaths when he saw Su Yue sitting in the sun in the distance, basking in the sun and drinking coffee. A smile immediately broke out on his face.

He walked quickly forward, sat next to Su Yue, and said with a smile.

"The weather is nice today. It seems to be one of the rare good days in Germany."

"Well, if you stay here for a long time, you will become particularly obsessed with the sun."

Su Yue picked up the coffee in her hand, handed it to Chen Qiu, squinted her eyes to feel the sunlight above her head, and couldn't help but say so.

"The coffee served at this hotel for breakfast is freshly ground and tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it?"

"Huh? I just drank upstairs."

Chen Qiu looked embarrassed.

There's no way. Although they are both made from beans, he prefers soy milk to coffee.

Although he has tried coffee several times, his love for it can only be described as being drinkable, and it is far from the point where he has to drink it.

Su Yue seemed to have guessed Chen Qiu's answer a long time ago. There was no surprise on her face. She nodded slightly and said softly.

"Yeah, I know, so I ordered a soy milk."

Su Yue took out a thermos cup from somewhere, pushed it to Chen Qiu, looked into Chen Qiu's eyes and smiled.

"For you."

"Eh?"

Chen Qiu was stunned, looking at the thermos in his hand with a hint of surprise.

He reached out to take it, opened it, and a rich aroma of soy milk immediately filled his nostrils.

With a slight sip, the smooth soy milk flows through the gaps between teeth to the taste buds, bringing a rich soybean aroma.

Chen Qiu just drank and his eyes widened.

Obviously, this soy milk is not made with soy milk powder.

This soy milk is freshly squeezed!

And it has only been done for a short time.

He could even feel some soy milk powder that had not been completely filtered out in the soy milk.

Chen Qiu looked at Su Yue in surprise and couldn't help but ask.

“Where does this soy milk come from?”

"It's made by a Baodao restaurant, in a corner near the train station. It's not easy to find. They serve brunch, including fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu pudding, steamed buns, and steamed buns. I remember you like soy milk, so I asked the boss lady to buy you a cup for you."

Chen Qiu's eyes widened. "Around the Frankfurt train station? You went there alone? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. It's not as bad as many people think."

Feeling the concern from Chen Qiu, Su Yue smiled and shook her head.

"Although there are many people who urinate and defecate in public and smoke cannabis near Frankfurt Main Station, there are also many police officers. Those people who smoke cannabis are not very aggressive. After getting high, they will just lie on the ground and not do anything else."

"so……"

Although he heard what Su Yue said, the worry on Chen Qiu's face did not disappear at all.

It was obvious that he still didn't quite believe what Su Yue said about safety.

But since Su Yue said so, I can only believe Su Yue.

Chen Qiu nodded immediately.

"If you have to act alone next time, you'd better bring Ai Gu with you. If I remember correctly, he seemed to be from the same compound as you. He's strong and can withstand one more blow."

"Will you take one more blow?" Feeling Chen Qiu's concern, Su Yue couldn't help but smile, "If I go there again next time, I will definitely ask Ai Gu to come with me."

"Eh? What? Why are you calling me?"

Just as Chen Qiu was drinking soy milk and Su Yue was drinking coffee, Ai Gu came down from upstairs.

He seemed to want to show off his muscles, so he wore a shrunken T-shirt to make his muscles stand out.

He leaned against Chen Qiu and Su Yue, and kept raising his eyebrows at Chen Qiu.

"Eh? Commander Chen Qiu, I just heard you say my name. Tell me, what did you discuss about me just now?"

It was obvious that Su Yue's suppression of him was still there.

Therefore, he only dared to look at Chen Qiu and did not dare to look at Su Yue at all.

Su Yue didn't feel anything about this. She just continued to look at the sky and sip the coffee in her cup.

Chen Qiu smiled, covered the thermos cup in his hand, put it away carefully, and said to Ai Gu with a smile.

"Nothing, I was just saying you're strong."

"Haha, just kidding. In the orchestra, my physical fitness is number one, and no one dares to say I'm second, right? Tsk tsk, it's a pity that there's no place to practice with equipment recently, so I can only practice with my bare hands, otherwise my muscles will definitely be even more explosive!"

Ai Gu couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, which kept curling up, revealing a kind smile.

If Su Yue hadn't been here, he would even want to shake his chest in front of Chen Qiu to show off the strength of his chest muscles that he had developed from doing push-ups these days.

Seeing Ai Gu like this beside him, Chen Qiu was really curious.

What kind of expression would Ai Gu have if he knew that he was telling Su Yue that he could be a meat shield and take one more hit?

As he thought about it, Chen Qiu couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He coughed slightly, clapped his hands on the mugwort drum and laughed.

"You've practiced well. I'll let you handle all the BA work in the orchestra later."

"BA? What is a BA?" Ai Gu scratched his head, totally unresponsive. He checked on his phone, and it told him that BA stands for Business Requirements Analyst.

But what does a business requirements analyst have to do with muscles?

Is it true that if you build a big block, the market will follow?
Is this the ultimate use of excessive fitness to attract the same sex?
Ai Gu was puzzled.

But he has one advantage, that is, if he can't figure out something, he will just put it out of his mind.

For him, a percussionist in an orchestra, it is enough to follow the conductor.

So he chuckled twice and then obediently made himself some egg white coffee.

After everyone rested for a long time in the buffet restaurant downstairs, the last two people of the six-person team, Huang Xin and Rui Jia, finally arrived.

These two people did not come out of the house, but came in from outside.

After the two of them came in, they hurried towards the crowd.

Huang Xin took out a bunch of buns from his pocket with a proud look on his face, and distributed them to Chen Qiu and others, then said with a smile.

"Nuo, how's it going? Isn't it great?"

"Great, great, Sister Huang Xin... Oh, and Rui Jia, where did you get this bun?"

Looking at Rui Jia who was trying hard to take the bun out of her skirt pocket, Ai Gu hurried forward to take it.

He looked at the greasy meat bun in his hand, the juice even soaking the bun skin, and couldn't help but ask the two of them.

Huang Xin grinned, pointed at himself with a thumbs up and raised an eyebrow.

"How can we do it? Of course we went to the breakfast buffet near the station. Hehe, if it weren't for Ruijia's big skirt pockets that can hold a lot of things, we wouldn't be able to pack it back, right, Ruijia~"

Huang Xin couldn't help but reach out and rub Rui Jia's face, making Rui Jia's face pouty and looking extremely cute.

As for Rui Jia, because her cheeks were being rubbed and she was holding a bunch of buns in her hands, she couldn't say anything and could only let Huang Xin touch her.

Looking at everyone having fun, Chen Qiu couldn't help but laugh.

He picked up the soy milk in his cup and took a sip, then casually glanced at the time.

After realizing that it was almost nine o'clock, he stood up and said to the five people.

"Okay, let's go, the car is coming soon. We can talk in the car if we have anything to say."

"Ohhh! Let's go to Hamburg! I want to see the Hamburg Opera!"

"me too!"

Everyone stood up and cheered. After putting their large luggage on the bus, they traveled light and headed towards the Frankfurt train station.

Chen Qiu and Su Yue walked in the front, followed by Huang Xin and Rui Jia, and Ai Gu and Qin Xian were at the end.

As they walked, Ai Gu suddenly remembered what Chen Qiu had just said and couldn't help but glance at Qin Xian.

In his memory, Qin Xian's performance seemed to be good, and his understanding of Chen Qiu was the best in the orchestra.

Then he should know what Chen Qiu meant.

Therefore, Ai Gu couldn't help but slow down, approach Qin Xian, and asked him in a low voice.

"Hey, Qin Xian, Chen Qiu just told me today that my muscles are very big and I am very suitable to be the BA of the orchestra. What does this BA mean? I just checked my phone and it told me that I am a business requirements analyst. Is there any connection between my muscle training and market demand analysis?"

Hearing Ai Gu's words, Qin Xian, who had a calm expression, almost couldn't hold himself together and almost tripped himself to the ground.

He looked at Ai Gu beside him with a strange expression, and after a little hesitation, he spoke to Ai Gu hesitantly.

"Is it possible that the BA that Commander Chen Qiu mentioned actually refers to...security?"
