pianist from the sea

Rebecca opened the door, and what appeared in front of her was a Chinese man she didn't know.

To be precise, it should be a man and a woman.

Girls standing behind boys seem to have an advantage.

The boy glanced at the girl behind him, wanting to complain about something. When he saw the door open, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Seeing the two of them like this, Rebecca immediately had some guesses about this Chinese man. After thinking about it for a while, she spoke tentatively.

"Mr. He, right? And...Miss Zhao, am I right?"

"Of course it is me."

He Shen said happily.

He blinked at Zhao Zitong behind him and whispered.

"I just told you there was someone in the house. You still don't believe me?"

"Didn't your student Fu Diao say that this room is his studio? I feel like it's very deserted here. How do I know there's someone inside? Forget it, let me do it."

Zhao Zitong also whispered a few words, then walked around He Shen, looked at Rebecca in front of him, smiled, took out a dessert wine from behind him, and handed it to her.

"Hello, this is our gift to Fu. Where is Fu now?"

"Fu is going to prepare for today's party."

Rebecca also smiled and reached out to take the drink from Zhao Zitong's hand, glanced at it, and her eyes couldn't help but brighten.

"VDP Grosse Lage? Thank you very much."

VDP GL, shown as GG on the logo, is the highest level wine among the German Wine Certification Association.

Of course, there are some wines that are not included in the association that may be equally good, but wines with a GG rating are obviously among the best.

This kind of wine is definitely not available in supermarkets. Basically, you have to go to major wineries to reserve it.

And it also depends on luck. Maybe you are unlucky this year, and the harvest in any winery is not good, and not a single GG-level dessert wine is produced.

As a German, Rebecca rarely drinks alcohol, but she still knows something about this type of wine.

Naturally, she also knew how expensive this wine was.

So she carefully placed the wine on the wine cabinet in the house.

The only bottle of wine on the wine cabinet was placed in the middle. Then he looked at the two people who had already come in, took off their clothes and hung their clothes on the hangers, and apologized.

"I'm very sorry, because Fu didn't inform me about today's events, and I've been sorting out Fu's information recently, so I didn't prepare much to entertain you. I'm really sorry."

"No, no, no, it doesn't matter. I came here today to chat with Fu. It doesn't really matter if we entertain you or not."

Before Zhao Zitong could speak, He Shen waved his hands carelessly.

"To be honest, I haven't met Fu for a long time. He has been giving concerts and touring in various places before. Even if I send him messages, he rarely replies. Really, if Unless he sent me a message a few days ago and asked me if I wanted to come to his studio ceremony, I didn’t even know he had opened a studio.”

"It's obvious that you don't care about the status of your students, right?"

Zhao Zitong said at the side: "Obviously all the news about Fu Diao has been posted on the Internet. There were even reports recently that directly announced Fu Diao's recent situation, telling us that Fu Diao was preparing for his personal studio. At that time, I gave the newspaper to Damn you, you didn’t even look!”

"No! I've finally been promoted to a professor in the piano department at the Manhattan School of Music, right? I'm very busy!"

"Haha, I obviously feel that your students have surpassed you. Isn't it a bit embarrassing? I've been with you for so long, and I still don't know you?"

"Eh! No! Me!"

He Shen was speechless as he spoke.

He spread his hands helplessly, sighed, and said nothing. He could only pretend to walk to the balcony of the living room on the first floor, look at the small garden outside the window, and said.

"Well, this garden is really nice! When I wake up every day, I can walk to the garden downstairs, pour a cup of coffee, and look at the scenery outside the window. It feels really wonderful."

"Haha, if you can't explain it, then I'll change the subject, right?"

Zhao Zitong sneered at He Shen again, then looked at Rebecca beside him with a smile and asked.

"Sorry, we have been talking to ourselves and I haven't asked you what your name is yet."

"Rebecca!"

Rebecca listened to the conversation between He Shen and Zhao Zitong in Chinese with a blank look on her face. It wasn't until Zhao Zitong asked her something that she realized and said quickly.

"Rebecca Long!"

"Well... Rebecca, a very beautiful name."

Zhao Zitong asked with a smile on his face: "Do you live alone in this studio?"

"no."

Rebecca shook her head vigorously: "The first floor of this studio is the living room, the second floor is the studio, the third floor, which is the top floor, is Fu's personal lounge, and the basement is Fu's recording studio. I am working normally. During this period, there will be activities on the first and second floors.”

When she talked about this place, she added: "Normally I would go back around six o'clock in the evening, but recently because I have been busy at work and Fu gave me three times the overtime salary, I stayed here. Work."

"No wonder this place is called a studio."

He Shen sat on the sofa and complained: "But there is actually a rest room in this place. If Fu Tiao has a rest room for himself, why not one for your employees?"

"You have a mouth!"

Zhao Zitong glared at He Shen, then looked at Rebecca gently and continued to ask her.

"Are you the only one in this studio?"

"Well... yes."

Rebecca nodded: "Because this studio is actually jointly established by Fu and Mr. Zimmerlin, and I am Mr. Zimmerlin's assistant, so I am the only one in this studio at the moment."

She added here: "But if the work becomes too busy in the future, we will consider recruiting more new people into the studio."

"Well...it feels like everything is still in its infancy! But that's normal."

Zhao Zitong smiled and did not continue to ask.

In fact, she was just a little curious about the working mode of Fu Diao's studio.

Especially when she saw Rebecca alone in the room, her curiosity expanded to the extreme.

But after knowing the specific situation, she became a little dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Fu Tiao's studio is really just a studio.

She thought there was some hidden secret between Rebecca and Fu Diao.

He Shen didn't hear what the two were discussing at all.

He took out a mustard coffee flavored lollipop from his pocket, chewed the lollipop, and carefully folded the candy wrapper into his pocket.

After confirming that the candy wrapper was not broken, he spoke to Rebecca.

"By the way, you just said that downstairs is Fu Tiao's personal recording studio, right? Can I go down and have a look?"

"Well……"

Rebecca hesitated.After all, she was just a small employee who was exploited by Fu Tiao and Zimmerin. She was really not sure whether He Shen could enter Fu Tiao's recording studio to take a look.

Seeing Rebecca hesitate, Zhao Zitong said immediately.

"If you want to see it, ask your student to take you in. Isn't it just a recording studio? Are you so anxious to see it?"

"Hey, what you said is wrong. What do you mean it's just a recording studio? I think back then, one of my classmates used such a recording studio to dominate all the educational resources in our small county! He later became many big shots. A professional music studio with countless connections, how can it be called a small recording studio?"

"Then wait until Fu Tiao comes back and ask him to introduce you."

After Zhao Zitong rolled her eyes at He Shen, she glanced at the furnishings in the room and spoke to Rebecca.

"I just saw that there are a lot of things in the house that haven't been fully decorated... Do you want me to help you do it? When I was in the beautiful country, I often helped Tie Hanhan decorate it."

As she talked, she dragged the embarrassed Rebecca and continued to arrange everything in the house.

He Shen wandered to the coffee machine in the house, poured himself a cup of coffee, and then returned to the balcony to bask in the sun, his face full of joy.

"Sure enough, it's still comfortable to bask in the sun. Unfortunately, my skin turns dark as soon as I tan. How cool it would be if my skin didn't tan..."

He just sat on the chair in the yard and swayed, enjoying the afternoon sunshine.

The two people behind the house were busy packing everything needed for the party.

Ding!
The doorbell rang again, and He Shen walked out without any hesitation and opened the door.

He said carelessly.

"Come here, who is it..."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but blink when he looked at the man in front of him.

He turned around and looked around, then looked at the person in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Damn it? Lang Liangyue? Is your hand healed?"

"How deep?"

Lang Liangyue also seemed to know He Shen.

After all, both of them developed in the beautiful country.

He Shen's main development direction is to be a professor at the Conservatory of Music.

Lang Liangyue, on the other hand, was on tour in the beautiful country.

Lang Liangyue looked at He Shen in front of him and didn't react for a while. Then he thought about it, suddenly woke up, waved his hand and apologized.

"My fault, my fault, I even forgot that Fu Tiao is your student."

"No, what do you mean? Do you think I can't teach such a powerful student?"

He Shen looked at Lang Liangyue with suspicious eyes, then smiled helplessly and spread his hands.

"Okay, I admit, I do feel that if I were to teach again, I wouldn't be able to teach such a great student. I feel like he even has a bit of a self-taught character in it."

"Hahahaha, do you think so too?"

Lang Liangyue laughed and patted He Shen on the shoulder with his uninjured hand: "I understand how you feel. If I were also Fu Diao's teacher, then I feel that my pressure might be similar to yours."

After that, he pointed to the door: "You won't invite us in?"

"Come in, it's not my studio anyway."

He Shen spread his hands.

At this moment, when she heard the quarrel outside the house, Rebecca, who was rushing over, also came to the door.

Compared with He Shen who had to guess, Lang Liangyue was naturally more familiar to her.

Her eyes couldn't help but light up: "Mr. Lang! I'm glad you can come. Mr. Fu is on his way to buy drinks for the party. I'm sorry that I can't come to welcome you, so I can only do it for you temporarily."

"Purchase now?"

Lang Liangyue walked into the house with Alice behind him. Hearing this sound, he couldn't help but froze, and then clicked his tongue twice.

"As expected of Fu Diao, I know it without you telling me. He must have been practicing piano recently, right? And then he forgot about it while he was busy?"

"I feel like he may have set a time by himself and then didn't prepare anything. He thought it would be fine if he just asked us to come over and get together."

He Shen complained on the side.

Hearing He Shen's words, Lang Liangyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded with great approval.

"What you said is correct. Indeed, I feel that what you said is more like what Fu Diao would do."

"No, who told me to be Teacher Fu Tiao!"

He Shen waved his hand cheerfully.

Everyone walked to the house.

Lang Liangyue waved his assistant Alice to help Rebecca and Zhao Zitong, while he chatted with He Shen.

He Shen confirmed many times that Lang Liangyue's hand injury may be very serious, and he will not be able to play for at least half a year. He will also need more time to practice in the future. After playing with his other hand, he couldn't help but show a look of regret.

"It's a bit of a pity. I feel like this year should be the peak of your career. This year should be a year of great opportunities for you."

"It doesn't matter. My hand is injured anyway, so it doesn't matter no matter what I think about it."

Lang Liangyue is free and easy.

"My own position in the world is relatively stable. This year I just want to have an impact and see if my status can soar again, completely establish my position in the classical music world, and become a legend like Argerich. Unfortunately... "

"But you can also try something other than playing."

He Shen suggested: "I'm not asking you to participate in a performance or anything. I just want to say that you can take a walk and look at the direction of charity. Maybe you can better open up a new path. I remember you have done this before. Are you coming to Lang Liangyue’s music charity class?”

"Well, Alice has been taking care of it for me before, and I didn't care much about it."

Lang Liangyue nodded: "It's true that this year I just took advantage of my hand injury to lay a solid foundation for me."

"Then I wish you success? If you succeed later, treat me to dinner!"

"Hahaha, if I don't succeed, I can treat you to dinner. It only costs a few dollars."

The two were laughing and chatting.

While chatting, the doorbell rang again.

After the two opened the door, they were just about to welcome the new arrival, but they didn't expect the person outside the door to make them silent.

Standing outside the door were two people they didn't know very well.

But the popularity is extremely loud.

The first and second place winners in the Chopin International Piano Competition, the two stood outside the door.

Li Diyun, Zhao Chengzhen, and... Hamelin. (End of chapter)
