The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 390 Chen Qiu!!!!!!

Li Miaomiao pushed open the door of the concert hall with a hesitant expression.

Fortunately, the door of the concert hall has not changed much, and it is still as heavy as before.

The decoration inside the concert hall...

Li Miaomiao felt like she was about to cry.

Except for the basic facilities, such as stairs, everything else has changed.

The decoration of the entire concert hall has really become so gorgeous.

Where is my old, shabby concert hall?
The concert hall wouldn’t really be sold, would it?
How come the band was sold after only being away for a short time?

Li Miaomiao felt like crying but had no tears.

It's like having no home.

She also counted on the band to grow and propel her to a top manager position.

Even if the Harmony Symphony Orchestra no longer needs her in the future, she will be able to get a good position.

However, before she could even consider changing her job, the band was gone.

What should I do with my resume? Wouldn't it mean that I have left it blank for a few years?
Li Miaomiao found a place to squat, holding her head in her hands with a dull look in her eyes.

She has already started thinking about her future job search direction.

She always felt like she was finished.

However, just as she squatted there in a daze, a pair of black leather shoes stopped in front of her. She raised her head and looked up along the black socks. Before she raised her head too high, she saw a person who was almost as tall as her.

Ruijia.

At this moment, Rui Jia was walking past her with a pile of documents. Perhaps it was the unique sympathy or attraction between short people, she soon noticed that there was a person hiding behind the shadow of the wall.

She just walked over naturally and stopped in front of the man, with a slight surprise in her eyes.

"Eh? Miaomiao?"

"Wow, Ruijia?"

Li Miaomiao looked up at Rui Jia and saw that Rui Jia was holding a pile of documents in her hands. She looked exactly like the white-collar workers on TV who were kicked out of their jobs and had to pack their personal belongings in a cardboard box. A touch of grief welled up in her heart again.

Even the main force of an orchestra like Ruijia was fired, so why did I work so hard for so long to get the contract in Europe?
If I had known earlier, I would have just ignored Chen Qiu and had a good time in Europe.

I haven't traveled much in Europe. I've just been wandering around Frankfurt, Baden-Baden, and some completely uninteresting cities in Germany.

Dirty and messy, oh no, this is Paris full of art!

Shit and piss are everywhere, oh no, this is the hospitable Naples!
There are thieves everywhere, no, this is the holy and mighty Roman Empire!

I haven't been to those places yet.

He was fooled by Chen Qiu and came back directly.

Li Miaomiao was overwhelmed with grief. She took two steps forward, hugged Rui Jia and sobbed softly.

"Woo woo, Ruijia, are you leaving too?"

"Eh? I'm leaving? Where am I going?"

Rui Jia was stunned and didn't react for a moment. She weighed the file box in her hand again, puzzled.

"I'm just delivering a document to Commander Chen Qiu. I'm not going anywhere."

"Hmm? Delivering documents?"

Li Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then thought of something not so good in her mind and spoke nervously.

"Wasn't it some documents about the band's disbanding?"

"The band is disbanding? How is that possible?"

At this moment, Rui Jia suddenly understood why Li Miaomiao was so scared and uncomfortable.

After all, the orchestra spent a lot of money to renovate the venue inside and out in just a few days.

Even she still felt confused when she walked into the concert hall in recent days. She couldn't tell whether she had really walked into her own orchestra, or accidentally got lost and went to someone else's orchestra.

Not to mention Li Miaomiao who hasn't returned recently.

Her eyes rolled up and down, then she smiled and threw the document in her hand to Li Miaomiao, saying generously.

"Since you don't believe it, then take a look and see if what I said is right!"

"Eh? Such a confidential document..."

Li Miaomiao felt a little guilty.

If it really is a document regarding the band's disbanding, then the level of confidentiality must be the highest. Will it really be okay if she reads it?

Rui Jia waved her hand.

"It's okay, Miaomiao, you are the manager of our band, the deputy boss of our band, you can watch whatever you want!"

"My, my, my, I'm actually the deputy boss?"

Hearing Rui Jia's words, Li Miaomiao felt a little touched.

She resolutely picked up the documents in her hand and nodded to Ruijia.

"Since Ruijia said that everything is fine, then I will believe you. Where should I send this document?"

Rui Jia smiled and said, "Just send it to Chen Qiu's office. You should know the location. These are non-music score files stored in the orchestra's music library. Conductor Chen Qiu plans to sort them out a bit."

Li Miaomiao nodded: "Okay, I'll send it over to Commander Chen Qiu right away."

After saying that, she held the documents that Rui Jia had just brought over and ran towards Chen Qiu's office.

At first she was a little confused about the orchestra's current layout, but as she walked to the backstage of the orchestra, her heart calmed down a lot.

It is obvious that the main changes to the orchestra are in the front facing the audience, while the backstage positions have not been modified much.

Still the same as before.

Li Miaomiao came to Chen Qiu's office holding Rui Jia's documents and knocked on the door lightly. When Chen Qiu said "Come in", Li Miaomiao felt relieved.

Fortunately, there is no problem.

The conductor of the orchestra is still Chen Qiu.

The orchestra should still be under Chen Qiu's control.

Li Miaomiao let out a long sigh, bent over and squeezed the documents in her hand into her arms, barely squeezed a hand out from under the file box to open the door, and squeezed in with her back turned.

Inside the house, Chen Qiu was flipping through the music score in the sun, spinning a pencil in his hand. When he heard the door open, he said without turning his head.

"Just put your things on the table, I'll come and clean them up later."

"Um, Commander Chen Qiu, it's me, I'm back."

"Ok?"

As soon as Li Miaomiao's voice came out, Chen Qiu woke up from flipping through the music score.

He turned sideways and looked behind him, seeing Li Miaomiao who had just put down the file box. His eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

"Li Miaomiao, when did you come back?"

"Um... today." Li Miaomiao rubbed her fallen hair, with a little complaint in her tone: "I rushed here without any rest, and when I came back, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Hahahaha, isn't the band getting a new look? How is it, does it look good?"

Chen Qiu laughed.

Li Miaomiao nodded.

"Yeah, it's a little bit interesting, but it's just too unfamiliar. If I hadn't gone backstage, I might have been lost."

"When you enter the concert hall, you will find that it is even more unfamiliar."

Chen Qiu said with a smile.

Seeing the puzzled look in Li Miaomiao's eyes, Chen Qiu said to Li Miaomiao.

"By the way, how were your talks in Europe? Did everything go well?"

"Well, everything is going well." Li Miaomiao nodded. "Everything is going according to the previous plan. I have already discussed all the details, and I have also sorted out some unfavorable factors. We should be able to obtain more performance qualifications next year based on the three concerts."

Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows: "For example?"

“For example, the Barcelona International Music Festival.”

Li Miaomiao sat on the sofa at the side and told Chen Qiu the story.

"I have already talked to the people there. We should be able to sign a contract with the Barcelona International Music Festival next year. We are also invited to some music festivals in Italy. However, I am still considering it. I am afraid that the long journey will prevent the orchestra from performing at its best."

"That's not a problem. Since we all make a living from this, it's normal for us to work and perform non-stop. Isn't it the same in Haicheng?"

Chen Qiu waved his hand and said to Li Miaomiao.

"As long as there are no conflicts in time and route, I can find as many concerts as I can on the European music festival tour. The time is... about two weeks. I can play some countries in Germany and France in the early stage, and Italy in the later stage."

Li Miaomiao was stunned and asked in confusion: "Huh? Why? Is the environment in Italy bad? Or does Chen Qiu tell you that you don't like Italy very much? If you don't like Italy very much, we can choose not to go."

"no no."

Chen Qiu quickly waved his hands at Li Miaomiao and said helplessly.

"In fact, the food in Italy is better. To be honest, the Chinese food in Italy is also famous in Europe. Many people like to go to Italy to eat Chinese food. And to be honest, some Chinese food in Italy is better than that in China." "?"

Li Miaomiao was at a loss, with a look of doubt in her eyes.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Chinese food in Italy..."

"Now that more people are going abroad, it's no longer like before when we were catering more to locals. Even if we only cater to Chinese people, we can still be full, so some restaurants have begun to change their strategies and start serving Chinese food that suits Chinese people's taste."

Chen Qiu couldn't help but spread his hands when he said this.

"A lot of chefs came here to get work visas, and they basically cooked every dish themselves. Compared to when we go out to eat, we either order barbecue, hot pot, barbecued meat, spicy hot pot, or some meal packages, with central kitchens preparing meals. There are fewer and fewer restaurants that cook their own food. Chinese food in Italy is actually constantly developing and becoming stronger and stronger, so I think that holding the last performance in Italy may help ease their Chinese appetite."

"Oh, like this."

Li Miaomiao nodded.

She took note of what Chen Qiu said in her mind and prepared to talk to those music festivals about it later.

But as I was thinking about it, I suddenly found myself being fooled by Chen Qiu.

I was clearly planning to ask Chen Qiu why the band suddenly became so rich that he renovated the entire band and even changed its name.

Could it be that the concert hall was sold?

How come the conversation turned into my own performance review meeting?
Li Miaomiao looked at Chen Qiu and couldn't help but reveal an angry look on her face.

Chen Qiu showed a puzzled look.

He didn't know what he did to Li Miaomiao. Why did Li Miaomiao get angry for no reason?

Just when Chen Qiu was about to ask Li Miaomiao what happened, the door was slowly opened.

Qin Xian walked out from behind the door.

He held a stack of documents and looked through them while talking to Chen Qiu.

"Commander Chen Qiu, I've already prepared the documents... they should be almost done, would you like to take a look?"

"Alas, Qin Xian..."

Chen Qiu looked at Qin Xian helplessly, took the document from his hand, glanced up and down, reached out and pinched his eyebrows, and said helplessly.

"If you are not suitable for this job, you don't have to come. You really don't have to force yourself. Sometimes people's potential and talent really can't be forced out. If you can't write the copy, why don't you hand it over to Li Miaomiao? Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

Li Miaomiao, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but get angry as she listened.

What does it mean that if you don’t know how to do the job, just leave it to yourself?

Are you a trash can? You are responsible for these tasks.

But the next second, Qin Xian spoke.

This made Li Miaomiao feel less angry.

Qin Xian whispered.

"But Li Miaomiao has too much work to do. If I give her all the work, she might be very tired. I want to help her reduce the burden a little bit."

“Hey, hey, hey, hey!”

Chen Qiu pointed at Qin Xian, then glanced at Li Miaomiao who was hiding in the corner behind Qin Xian.

I never thought that there would be a day when I would have to eat dog food.

In this case, Chen Qiu will no longer indulge Qin Xian.

He looked at Li Miaomiao who was hiding in the corner and raised his eyebrows.

"How was it? Did you hear that? He said he didn't want you to be too tired. What do you say?"

"I……"

Li Miaomiao was hiding so well that she didn't even dare to make the sound of her breathing. Unexpectedly, she was pointed out by Chen Qiu. She could only scratch her head awkwardly, walked in front of Chen Qiu, looked at Qin Xian with gritted teeth, and snorted.

"I'll help him change it."

Chen Qiu glanced at Li Miaomiao and Qin Xian as if he was eating a melon. Just as he was about to say something, he found that Qin Xian's face turned red.

Chen Qiu had never seen Qin Xian's face turn so red.

He apologized directly to Chen Qiu.

"I'm sorry Commander Chen Qiu, I just remembered that I have other things to do over there. I, I, I have to go first."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Qiu to react, he rushed out of the door and fled.

Looking at the swaying door, Chen Qiu and Li Miaomiao both fell silent.

Chen Qiu looked at Li Miaomiao and was about to say something when Li Miaomiao raised his hands, made a cross sign, and shook his head.

"I know what you are going to say, but Conductor Chen Qiu, we are at work now. Let's not talk about these topics. Let's talk about the concert hall first. Why has the concert hall changed so much?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."

Seeing Li Miaomiao looking unimpressed, Chen Qiu quickly raised his hands in surrender and said to Li Miaomiao.

"The current situation of the orchestra is like this. During the time when you went to Europe, I followed Conductor Zhao Yi and others to ask for investment, and then we got an investment from Lianhe Group, which is the one you saw outside the house. Their request is that we give them a few internal tickets for each performance, perform at their annual meeting at the end of the year, promote them, and rename the concert hall."

"?"

Li Miaomiao was stunned and blinked.

"Conductor Chen Qiu, has our orchestra been sold? Why did they agree to change the name of the concert hall?"

"4000 million a year investment, 700 million in the first month, and then 300 million every month."

Li Miaomiao was silent, looking at the white wall behind Chen Qiu, thinking.

"I feel that the name of the Harmonious Lotus River Symphony Hall sounds pretty nice and has a certain meaning. Lotus River, unity, our unity, seems very similar to Harmonious River, right? Conductor Chen Qiu, this is a good name."

"If you don't know how to praise, you don't have to force it."

Looking at Li Miaomiao trying hard to find a reason, Chen Qiu couldn't help but smile.

"The other party didn't make any other demands, and the conditions they offered were very generous. They didn't ask us to change the name of the band, so I think there is no problem."

"Um……"

Li Miaomiao thought about it and stretched out her hand to Chen Qiu.

"Where's the contract? Can you show me the contract?"

"this."

Chen Qiu handed the contract that had been prepared long ago to Li Miaomiao, and Li Miaomiao conducted a second inspection.

Like the lawyer before her, she didn't see any problem.

She put away the document in her hand with a slightly doubtful look and looked at Chen Qiu, puzzled.

"Conductor Chen Qiu, is our orchestra... worth so much money?"

"What do you think?"

"I think……"

Li Miaomiao was confused.

To say it is worth it seems a little short of the mark. We are all students and are just starting out.

It’s not worth it, but everyone has the opportunity to touch the second place in Haicheng.

It's hard for her to say.

She shook her head at Chen Qiu.

"I don't know. I just feel like this amount of money is a bit too much. I... don't know how to handle it."

"So where do you want to spend it?"

Chen Qiu patiently and persuadingly.

Li Miaomiao thought about it and said to Chen Qiu.

"I don't know, but I feel that this is not important, because we may need to plan the funds first, such as using some money for the purchase of consumables for the orchestra, some money for the orchestra's performances, and some money for the orchestra's operations, and then make a project planning table to score the annual funding purchases..."

Although she doesn't know how to spend the money, she knows how to manage it.

She listed a large number of projects and then broke them down into smaller categories.

As the money was divided, many spending points that had not been noticed before were highlighted.

And Chen Qiu just stood there watching with a smile.

After seeing that Li Miaomiao had written several pages of financial plans, Chen Qiu nodded with satisfaction, took out a pile of documents from behind him, opened a paper box beside him, stuffed the documents into it, and then pushed it into Li Miaomiao's arms, saying with an admiring look.

"Well, that's right. Since Manager Li Miaomiao already has his own ideas about the future of the orchestra, then I'll ask Manager Li Miaomiao to realize these plans!"

"Oh, by the way, don't forget the recruitment notice that Qin Xian just gave you. This is also your job."

After saying that, Chen Qiu hummed softly, patted Li Miaomiao on the shoulder, walked out, and closed the door carefully.

Inside the house, Li Miaomiao, who was like a petrified being, finally understood where the shadow in her heart came from.

He roared in anger and despair.

"Chen Qiu!!!!!!"
