Chapter 25 The Great Pianist
It was already evening, Liao Yuan came to the piano store market, and stood in front of the Steinway flagship store, hesitating endlessly.

He was calculating the account balance on his bank card, and wanted to try to rent a piano of about 20 yuan, but soon he found that even the rental price for one day was more than the funds he currently held.

Forget it, just wait!
Liao Yuan glanced at the piano shop reluctantly, sighed, and was about to turn around and leave when the glass door of the piano shop opened.

The saleswoman who received Liao Yuan yesterday looked at the familiar figure in front of her and said in surprise, "Sir? It really is you! Please come in!"

Liao Yuan hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and walked into the piano shop under the warm invitation of the female salesperson.

"Yesterday you left in a hurry and didn't leave your contact information. When our store manager had a meeting this morning, he pointedly criticized me by name. I'm really wronged!"

The female salesperson invited Liao Yuan to take a seat on the reception sofa in the store, then quickly poured tea and water for Liao Yuan, and finally took out her mobile phone to make a call, then picked up a business card from the counter, and handed it to Liao Yuan Yuan Yuan said enthusiastically: "This is my business card. I am Miao Bizhu, the sales consultant of our store. You can call me Miao Miao. What is your last name?"

"Miangui's surname is Liao." Liao Yuan forced a smile.

At this time, the other salespersons in the store obviously noticed this scene.

Seeing that it was the handsome boy from yesterday, they all rushed over and said excitedly:
"It's really you, master, the piece you played yesterday is really beautiful!"

"Yes, yes, our store manager said this morning, if you come again, we must keep you well, at least we have to take a photo with you!"

"Our store manager said that you are a real young man!"

"Wow, I didn't expect you to come here to buy pianos in person!"

"Mr. is really approachable. It doesn't look like a great pianist at all."

"It's the first time for me to be face to face with a great pianist at such a close distance. It's a great honor!"

"By the way, sir, what's your surname? If we have a chance, we will definitely go to your concert to appreciate your work."

No matter how calm he was, Liao Yuan couldn't help his face getting hot under the praise of a group of salesmen.

He coughed and said seriously, "Excuse me, can I rent a piano?"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Miao Bizhu was also stunned.

She looked at Liao Yuan with a serious face, and suddenly smiled: "Sir, you really know how to joke."

The others immediately laughed too, thinking that this young great pianist is not only handsome, but also very humorous.

In this world, any great pianist with performance level, no matter how poor he is and unable to give concerts, still has the opportunity to become a guest of major theaters and a well-paid pianist in an opera house.

And for a real grand pianist, let alone one piano, even ten pianos, as long as the great pianist needs something, there will be a steady stream of people offering it with both hands.

Now, this outstanding young pianist even said that he wants to rent a piano...

day!
This completely subverted the cognition of the salesmen!

Being in this circle, they naturally knew what being a great pianist meant.

In this era, people with profound knowledge and outstanding skills have always been considered the most precious wealth of human beings.

And the pianist is just one of them.

Especially a pianist who can compose independently, that is simply a baby bump that is afraid of melting in his hands!

Although a little embarrassed, Liao Yuan was still very sincere and said seriously: "I really need a piano, but I don't have that much money, so I want to rent one, um, just for one day."

Miao Bizhu and the others looked at each other in amazement,

Gradually, their faces became serious.

"Wait a moment, I need to report this matter to the store manager." Miao Bizhu got up and said, and immediately left the seat.

Liao Yuan frowned slightly, and sighed: "Isn't it possible? Then forget it, I'll think of another way."

The next moment, he wanted to get up.

"Sir, don't think too much."

Another sales consultant hurriedly stopped and explained: "Actually, our piano store does not carry out leasing business. After all, we are a flagship store. Every piano is brand new and has an independent number. The introduction and sale are all connected to the global network. For the record, second-hand sales are not allowed. If you want to rent a piano, you can actually take a look at the second-hand piano store market nearby."

Liao Yuan suddenly said: "That's right."

Seeing that Liao Yuan still wanted to leave, the sales consultant hurriedly said: "Hey, sir, don't rush to leave. Although we don't carry out leasing business, we can pay in installments, up to two years without interest. And the last The important thing is that our store manager wants to meet you..."

"See me?" Liao Yuan asked strangely, "Why are you seeing me?"

The sales consultant smiled wryly: "The piece you played yesterday is really amazing! After listening to it, our store manager decided that you must be a great pianist who returned from overseas, so I want to make friends with you .”

The others also quickly said: "Yes, during the morning meeting this morning, the store manager gave us a task. As long as you come to our piano store again, you must notify him as soon as possible."

"Sir, please stay."

Miao Bizhu also came back at this time, consoling: "The second-hand piano looks like a brand-new one, but in fact, most of them have been refurbished, and both the sound quality and the sensitivity have declined to a certain extent, and the brand-new piano, although the price Expensive, but guaranteed performance."

While talking, she made another cup of tea for Liao Yuan, and smiled sweetly: "I know you don't have funds available for the time being, but that's okay, our store manager will definitely have a way to solve it for you after he finds out about it."

"That's right!"

The other clerk said enthusiastically: "We have all seen your strength. It is people like you who are talented. Our store manager is very well connected in the circle. Among other things, I will help you contact a few theaters. When you arrive Casually revealing a few songs, the money for this piano is just there, isn't it easy to grab?"

Liao Yuan listened quietly for a while, finally got up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not a professional pianist, but just an amateur."

After speaking, he turned and left.

The salesmen were in a hurry.

At this moment, the glass door of the piano store opened again.

A fat man in a suit and leather shoes, about 30 years old, walked in panting, his steps were heavy, and he looked very tired. When he saw Liao Yuan, his thick eyebrows and big eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly He took out a business card case from his purse: "Hi, my humble Zhang Chao is the manager of this store and also a senior agent of our Steinway. This is my business card, please accept it."

Liao Yuan was a little surprised, but still accepted the business card: "Hello, but I have other things..."

"I know, I know, but please wait a moment."

Zhang Chao said cheerfully: "I heard Miao Miao talk about you on the way here. Are you temporarily short of funds? It doesn't matter. For a great pianist like you, don't worry about money."

Liao Yuan looked at the time and said bluntly: "First, I will not go to the so-called opera house to play, and second, my credit card does not have enough credit to pay by installments, so Mr. Zhang, please let me go, my Time is precious."

Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, and then instantly quieted down.

After thinking for a few seconds, he took out his mobile phone from his body, opened WeChat, operated it, and finally handed it to Liao Yuan, and said with concern: "Then, did you create this song yourself? Maybe, you have Impossible, try playing again?"
