The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 386 Getting rich

Chen Qiu was stunned and couldn't quite understand what this big fish meant.

But since Qi Min is a senior in the music industry, he said...

Even though their relationship wasn't particularly good, and even though they had clashed a few times during their musical collaboration before, Chen Qiu still took his words to heart.

Chen Qiu smiled and chatted with everyone about the current affairs of Haicheng Radio and Haicheng Opera House. He also learned a lot about the current situation of the Haicheng Opera House Concert Hall.

However, these have nothing to do with him as the head and conductor of a symphony orchestra.

He just needs to pay a little attention to the little tricks used by other bands.

After chatting with everyone, Chen Qiu returned to the Harmony Symphony Orchestra to rest.

When he changed into formal clothes as agreed and arrived at the banquet that Zhao Yi mentioned, Chen Qiu realized what Qi Min meant by the big fish.

……

……

At this moment, at Zhao Yi's home.

Unlike Chen Qiu, when Zhao Yi sat in his home, his expression obviously did not look particularly comfortable.

He kept adjusting his clothes, looking at himself in the mirror, searching for imperfections and then making slight adjustments.

Naturally, his action did not escape Zhao Zitong's eyes.

She was holding a bowl of noodles, slurping as she walked to Zhao Yi's side, looked her father up and down, and then complained.

"Dad, why do I feel like you're so nervous? Are you afraid of facing Chen Qiu's command?"

"This has nothing to do with Chen Qiu."

Zhao Yi shook his head.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he walked to the kitchen, also brought a bowl of noodles, sat at the dining table, and started eating bit by bit.

He said while eating.

"I'm having dinner with some sponsors tonight, so I'm having a bit of a headache."

"Sponsor? Isn't it with Chen Qiu?"

Zhao Zitong was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but say so.

"Has Commander Chen Qiu reached the level of dining with sponsors?"

"Haicheng's current third-best symphony orchestra recently went to Europe for a performance and even received a higher score than our Haicheng Symphony Orchestra. This year, they have a chance to get into the top two. What do you think?"

"Ah? The second in Haicheng?"

Zhao Zitong was stunned.

The noodles in her chopsticks also slipped out of her control and fell into the bowl.

She hurried forward, threw the bowl aside, and asked Zhao Yi.

"Is Conductor Chen Qiu so strong now? But, but...but I always feel like he's still the head of the student symphony orchestra?"

"Why do you think I asked you to study with him?"

Zhao Yi sighed, looked at his daughter helplessly, then restrained his expression, returned to his previous coldness, and said casually.

"I asked you to study with Chen Qiu before. I thought Chen Qiu was your best study partner. After all, Chen Qiu's strength is here. He is a very good study partner. Your ages are also suitable. It's just right for you to study together. But I didn't expect..."

Having said that, Zhao Yi's eyes couldn't help but look elsewhere, and then he pinched his eyebrows.

He didn't expect Chen Qiu to grow so fast.

He was no longer sure whether Zhao Zitong could continue to study with Chen Qiu and take on a position such as assistant conductor.

After all, Zhao Zitong's strength is not that good.

If I were in his shoes and had such an assistant in my band, I would probably have a headache.

Therefore, Zhao Yi plans to discuss this matter with Chen Qiu at the banquet tonight to see what Zhao Zitong will do in the future.

Zhao Yi quickly took another mouthful of noodles to fill his stomach with some food so that he would not be so hungry at the banquet. Then he picked up the documents aside and stood up to go out.

Before leaving, he said to Zhao Zitong.

"Tonight you will still analyze the work as before. If there are any questions you don't understand, write them down."

"OK, all right."

Zhao Zitong nodded lazily.

She then looked at her father, thought about it, and asked him curiously.

"By the way, Dad...can I go with you tonight? I'm a little curious."

Zhao Yi shook his head: "If you want to invite Chen Qiu alone, then it's fine, but tonight is not Chen Qiu's party."

Zhao Zitong shook his head with a hint of regret, took his noodles, staggered into his room, closed the door, and prepared to start studying.

It is obvious that as time goes by, the relationship between her and Zhao Yi is also easing.

The two of them were not as stiff as before.

Sometimes we can even joke around together.

Overall, the family atmosphere is much better.

Zhao Yi looked at his daughter's back and shook his head helplessly again. Then he put on a serious expression, tidied his clothes again, walked out of the door, and went to a very secret restaurant as agreed before.

These restaurants are Zhao’s.

In the middle of every year, Zhao Yi would have a meal with these people to enhance their relationship.

This way, when you ask for money at the end of the year, everyone will be able to ask for it easily and give the money readily.

However, today, Zhao Yi planned to bring Chen Qiu to dinner.

Introduce Chen Qiu to those people.

Before he arrived in front of the restaurant, Chen Qiu appeared in front of him, waving at him and smiling from a distance.

"Commander Zhao!"

"Commander Chen."

Zhao Yi nodded, walked to Chen Qiu's side, and spoke with a normal expression.

"Conductor Chen has performed well recently."

"Hahahaha, it's not bad, it's not bad."

Chen Qiu scratched his head with a smile, looked at the surroundings, and said to Zhao Yida.

"Commander Zhao, why did you bring me to this place..."

"Take you to meet some people."

"Take me to meet some people?"

Chen Qiu didn't understand.

Although he was not quite sure what Zhao Yi meant, the "big fish" that Qi Min had mentioned to him before was still in his heart, so Chen Qiu nodded.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble Commander Zhao to introduce me."

"Ah."

Zhao nodded and took Chen Qiu into the restaurant.

The waiter inside seemed to be very familiar with Zhao Yi.

When he saw Zhao Yi, he didn't even ask his name, but took Zhao Yi to the private room he had reserved.

When he brought Zhao Yi to the door of the private room, he said a few simple words to Zhao Yi and then disappeared to the side.

Zhao Yi stood there, looking at the door in front of him. After taking a deep breath, he glanced at Chen Qiu behind him and slowly pushed the door open.

Wow.

After the door was opened, there were already several people in the room.

Chen Qiu didn't know these people.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yi's cold face.

He took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to those people.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, long time no see!"

Chen Qiu: "?"

Chen Qiu stared at Zhao Yi in a daze.

He had never expected that Zhao Yi, who was always calm, could be so smiling.

Is this really Zhao Yi?
No, exactly.

Is this the real Zhao Yi?
He usually behaves coldly.

But when it is his turn to humble himself, he will do so without hesitation. For the development of the orchestra?
Zhao Yi greeted everyone as usual, and from time to time he said something that Chen Qiu had never heard before.

It's not just music, but also other aspects like stocks, travel, etc.

It was the first time that Chen Qiu knew that Zhao Yi actually had so many interests and hobbies.

No.

Where is my previous commander Zhao Yi?
Where is the cold-faced commander Zhao Yi from before?
Where did you put such a big Zhao Yi?
Chen Qiu's face was full of confusion.

Even the emotions are not connected.

After all, Zhao Yi's performance was really too outrageous.

It was so outrageous that Chen Qiu didn't react at first.

But it's okay.

Chen Qiu himself is a person with relatively high emotional intelligence.

After a brief moment of daze, he hurried over to greet him.

After Zhao Yi introduced him to everyone, he took over the conversation and greeted those whose identities were not clear.

No one showed any surprise on their faces about the newcomer brought by Zhao Yi.

They just smiled and chatted with Chen Qiu casually, praised Chen Qiu for his achievements at a young age, and then changed the topic to other places.

Obviously, everyone is also very clear about Zhao Yi's thoughts.

But now is not the time to talk about things.

No one talks about money in a place like this.

It would be so bad if it turned out to be awkward.

Everyone sat happily at the small table next to the dining table, playing poker with their hands.

Play and chat at the same time.

and two sips of tea poured into a glass.

The tea was not brought by Zhao, but by another boss.

I'm not sure what kind of tea Chen Qiu is, but the feeling of drinking it is very different.

Chen Qiu just took a sip and his eyes lit up.

Although it’s not as delicious as soy milk, this tea is quite fragrant.

It was the first time for Chen Qiu to drink such delicious tea.

And everyone present is a smart person.

Seeing the surprise on Chen Qiu's face, everyone immediately laughed.

One of them immediately ordered the one that brought tea and said with a smile.

"Hey, did you see that? Xiao Chen is very interested in the tea you brought, Lao Wang. What do you mean, Lao Wang, why don't you give some to Xiao Chen?"

"What you're talking about is just some tea. If you like it, Xiao Chen, come back to my car and grab a few bags. I can't say anything else, but I'll give you enough tea!"

The man waved his hand and said this to Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu did not refuse, he agreed naturally and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll obey your command."

"Look, he's still quibbling over words. What's the point of saying 'it's better to obey than to be respectful'? Just take it and that's it. Young people are just too shy. If it were me, I would just steal all his tea!"

As they talked, they burst into laughter.

With just a few words, Chen Qiu's originally nervous mood was immediately relieved.

He also smiled and made some jokes with everyone, chatting about random things.

As time went by, some latecomers also arrived.

No one is arrogant.

Everyone was laughing and chatting happily there.

If Zhao Yi hadn't told Chen Qiu in advance, Chen Qiu might have thought that this was just a simple party.

A gathering among friends.

of course.

In a way, this was really a gathering of friends.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, they all went to the dinner table.

There was no seating arrangement according to the host-guest order or anything like that.

Instead, whoever pays the money sits in the main seat.

Obviously, Zhao Yi sat in the middle.

He pulled Chen Qiu to sit next to him and asked Chen Qiu to follow him.

While helping Chen Qiu establish connections with other people, he also chatted with a smile about the current difficulties of the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra. In simple terms, he was crying poor.

In response to Zhao Yi's crying poor, the group of people spoke more beautifully than they sang.

It was as if the entire company was going to use all its strength to help the Haicheng Symphony Orchestra.

of course.

It is clear.

This group of people are all talk.

Nothing that is written on paper can be taken seriously.

Zhao Yi also understood this.

His idea was just to make a deeper impression on these people.

I don't expect to get the money right now.

Everyone laughed for a long time.

A lot of the dishes on the table were also moved.

at last.

When they had talked and eaten their fill, Zhao Yi patted Chen Qiu on the shoulder and said to everyone with a smile.

"To be honest, I invited you all here today not only for the normal exchange of feelings, but also for another very important matter, which is to introduce Chen Qiu to you all."

"You are not talking nonsense. Everyone can see that you want to introduce him to us." Someone on the side scolded with a smile.

He then raised an eyebrow at Zhao Yi.

"But what's the point of you introducing this little brother to us? We don't have any ability. It can't be that Xiao Chen doesn't want to follow you in the music industry, but wants to follow us, and hopes that we can give him the qualification of internal recommendation?"

When he said this, he glanced at everyone and they all started laughing.

Obviously, this is a joke.

Everyone knows that Chen Qiu is currently the third best symphony orchestra conductor in Haicheng.

Except we don’t know who’s funding it behind the scenes.

They knew the rest clearly before coming here.

After all, Zhao Yi had told them a long time ago that he would bring Chen Qiu here.

How could we not do our work?

Zhao Yi took in the expressions on everyone's faces, some thoughts flashed through his mind, and he slowly spoke to everyone.

"Of course, Chen Qiu will not change his career, but there is one thing that you may not know. Not only you, but even many other people may not know it, that is..."

Zhao Yi turned his gaze towards Chen Qiu, and then spoke to everyone.

"The Harmony Symphony Orchestra is still a clean orchestra, without any capital behind it. It is a symphony orchestra completely controlled by Chen Qiu himself."

After saying this, Zhao Yi sat down.

The eyes of everyone present lit up.

They looked at each other, with countless thoughts running through their minds.

If there is no capital behind the Harmony Symphony Orchestra, does that mean... they have the opportunity to invest?

Chen Qiu was sitting on the side, with many thoughts also flashing through his mind.

He now understood more and more clearly what Qi Min meant by "big fish".

If the guess is correct.

The Harmony Symphony Orchestra might be about to get rich.
