Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1046 306. Mr. Li has the courage, Boss X warns in advance
Li An was not sure whether he was a loyal person to his friends, but he felt that Li Shixiang was that kind of person.

The things that the other party did not elaborate on are most likely issues related to the subsequent distribution of interests.

If the negotiations are not done well at the initial stage, there will inevitably be distribution disputes when the pie becomes bigger.

Regarding the last point mentioned by Li Shixiang, the two of them had extended this issue as early as when Xu Li proposed to recruit teachers publicly.

Ang Lee still advocates using his own resources to find teachers, mainly to save time, and secondly to be able to quickly and stably carry out work on each part in the early stages.

In the appointment of teachers, based on his understanding of the job, Li An did not follow Xu Li's advice, but he handed over the management of the teachers to Xu Li.

This can also be considered a reverse way of drawing a clear line between him and the teachers. He is a teacher like everyone else, and Xu Li is a leader.

After dinner, Ang Lee accompanied Li Shixiang to visit Qihang, then returned to the hotel to take a short rest and went to the train station with Chen Xuan.

The reason Mr. and Mrs. Chen made this hasty trip was mainly to see their daughter again, and they also wanted to talk to Ang Lee in person about the issue of buying a house.

In theory, this is the Li family's business, but the Chen couple have long regarded Li An as their son-in-law, so in their view, buying a house is also the Chen family's business.

When it comes to buying a house, there are still differences in concepts between the older and younger generations.

Lao Chen and Song Lian think more about the future, while Li An thinks more about the present.

However, the face-to-face communication also gave Ang Lee peace of mind. The old couple were very supportive of him and Chen Xuan wanting to get married this year.

That's enough, just buy one for now.

"It's impossible to live in the same house for a lifetime." Li An said truthfully, "After Chen Xuan graduates, we may buy another one near the Chengdu Concert Hall."

Faced with Ang Lee's confident remarks, the old couple said nothing more. What else could they say? They believed that Ang Lee had the ability.

The next day at noon, the family of four had lunch and went to the airport.

Compared to the last time, this farewell scene seemed much more relaxed.

All the words of reluctance were left on the pillow last night. Finally, under the smiling eyes of the old couple, the two young people hugged each other, and Teacher Xiaomi embarked on the journey of studying again.
-
After seeing Chen Xuan off, Ang Lee took the old couple directly to the train station from the airport.

Speaking of Old Li's trip to Chengdu the day after tomorrow, Song Lian suggested that Li An take his old father to have his leg checked again.

"Don't worry, Auntie."

Ang Lee has a plan. Not only does Mr. Li have to undergo a comprehensive physical examination, but his mother also has to do it.

"Uncle and auntie, please ensure your health."

Song Lian: "You too, take care of yourself, we'll just go in and wait for a while, you can go do your thing."

Lao Chen: "Take us to say hello to your parents."

Li An nodded: "Goodbye, uncle and aunt."

At 5:40, Ang Lee said goodbye to the old couple at the train station, then took the subway back to the hotel to meet up with Boss X. At 6:40, the two of them set out for the restaurant where they would have dinner tonight.

Jingmen hotpot.

To be honest, Ang Lee didn't expect the boss to treat his guests to hotpot.

"He heard that you are from the northwest and thought you should like eating beef and mutton."

“I do like to eat.”

"Then eat more."
-
In front of the children, Ang Lee is a teacher.

In piano classroom No. 4, Li An is the principal.

In the book, Li An is the group leader.

At today's dinner table, Ang Lee returned to his role as a pianist.

This was not decided by Ang Lee, but Tang Qianfeng set the theme of the evening at the beginning of the dinner.

After a few pleasantries, Tang Qianfeng went straight to the point and asked Ang Lee if he had listened to the New Year's concert of Brahms by German pianist Walterich.

The tone doesn't sound like that of a superior or a subordinate, nor like that of friends, but more like that of colleagues.

"Give me a plate of chili oil!" Boss X looked like he came here just to eat.

Wattrick can be regarded as a typical scholar-performer, who became famous twenty years ago and returned to German and Austrian works at the age of sixty. Especially in such a special year as this year, a special performance of Brahms is enough to attract the attention of all people in the industry.

However, Ang Lee really didn't pay attention to this concert. Since returning from Guangzhou until now, he has devoted almost all his time to Sigang and Shu Ren.

But fortunately, he was very familiar with Waterick's playing style and had listened to his works from different periods.

"The theme variations and fugues in the second half are quite innovative," Boss X said. "The first half's Bo Er is not as good as it used to be. It may be because of his age that his stamina can't keep up."

Ang Lee smiled and said, "It's OK. In my opinion, Walker has always been a performer who emphasizes internal logic. I always listen to what he plays as music history."

Tang Qianfeng just asked casually, but he didn't expect Li An to give such an explanation. He couldn't help but become interested, "How do you say it?"

Ang Lee: "The first time I heard Walker play a theme variation and fugue, that version was quite special. He changed the score and added a section of Handel's theme."

Boss X: "This is the 94 edition, right?"

Ang Lee: "Well, the variations gradually unfolded, becoming more and more complex, until the fugue at the end. The fugue was almost completely incomprehensible at the harmonic level, and finally evolved into a harmonic structure in which the texture rings circled and referenced each other. It was very shocking to me at the time. I didn't expect the song to be interpreted in this way. If such a performance appeared in the 19th century, it would be heresy."

"In my opinion, the internal logic behind Walker's interpretation of this piece reveals the entire landscape of Western tonal music in the late 19th century."

Boss X chuckled: "Music has become a retro, self-indulgent pleasure."

Tang Qianfeng followed with a smile: "This is almost a true portrayal of the current European classical music market."

At this time, the waiter brought a dish of chili oil, and Boss X called on the two to pick up their chopsticks quickly, "Come on, come on, eat and talk."

After a brief conversation, the three musicians started.

After taking a bite of delicious mutton, Li An felt that today's difficulties were over.

Then we talked about Walker, Brahms, this year's birthday twins, several concerts in China at the beginning of the year, and finally the one at the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra.

Tang Qianfeng did not mention Fang Yongbo, but gave high praise to Ang Lee.

In response to Tang Qianfeng's face-to-face praise, Ang Lee behaved appropriately, not being overly modest nor taking all the credit for himself.

Tang Qianfeng felt quite comfortable with Li Ang's humble attitude.

Since he had invited Ang Lee to come today, Tang Qianfeng had naturally made plans to let Ang Lee perform the Beethoven Opus 4.

After listening to Ang Lee's evaluation of Walker and his discussion of Walker's performance ideas, Tang Qianfeng believed even more that the decision he made was correct.

Ang Lee is capable of playing the role of Bei Si.

Later, Tang Qianfeng mentioned Tang Xiaoxing and talked about Xiaoxing's preparations for the competition, which also shifted the topic from business to family matters.

Ang Lee followed Boss X's instructions and talked about whatever Tang Qianfeng talked about. They finished the meal in less than an hour and a half very easily.

After the meal, Tang Qianfeng wanted to send a driver to take the two of them home, but Boss X politely declined.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Tang Qianfeng and Li An shook hands, "Then I won't see you off. See you in May."

"See you in May, Tang Zhi, take care."

After watching Tang Qianfeng's car leave, Boss X breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's done."

Li An: "Thank you, Brother Yan."

Boss X: "So did you listen or not?"

Li An was stunned: "What are you listening to?"

Boss X: "Walter's New Year's Concert." Ang Lee: "I didn't listen. I didn't pay any attention to it."

Boss X: "I thought you didn't listen at first, it turns out you really didn't listen."

Li An laughed: "If you hadn't told me the songs for the first and second half, I would have confessed and given you a fair shake."

Boss X: "Okay, you're really good at talking nonsense. I believed everything you said. I was worried that you didn't listen, so I tried to give you a way out, but you went on to take the next step."

Li An: “Hahaha.”

Boss X: "Now that you're done, would you like to eat some more?"

Li An: "Eat a little, eat a little. I'm not full at all."

Boss X: "Let's go, I'll take you to a braised pork restaurant."
-
While eating the braised pork, Li Ang made a video call to Xiaoche.

Boss X also spoke a few words to Xiaoche.

"Check the door again before you go to bed."

"Well! Teacher, are you going home for lunch tomorrow?"

"Don't worry about me. I won't be back until the afternoon."

"Good teacher."

"Hurry up and continue doing your homework."

"Oh, by the way, teacher, we have finished practicing the first movement."

"Is this the end of the training?"

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow when we get back."

"Good night, teacher. Good night, Teacher Chen."

Boss X: "Good night, Che Lin. I'll be waiting for you to come to Yanjing in October."

As soon as Ang Lee hung up the video, Boss X asked, "What's the first movement?"

“Trout Quintet.”

Li An explained the current situation of the car and said, "Let her play the competition tracks first."

Boss X has a deep understanding of this: "Indeed, the two children are too young. Xiaoxing was in the same state when he came back from the Chinese New Year. He was always in self-anxiety."

This is what Ang Lee wanted to ask when Tang Qianfeng and Boss X were discussing this question at the dinner table just now.

"What was the specific reason? Was it just because of too much pressure?"

According to Li An's backstage records, Tang Xiaoxing's piano practice time has been very unstable since January. He would either practice for ten hours straight, or not practice for two days in a row.

Boss X: "It's just too much pressure. Unlike kids like Che Lin, Xiao Xing has never participated in any competitions, so she has no experience in preparing for competitions. It's hard to rely on anyone to teach her about mentality."

Li An: "There are still two years left. Why not let her participate in a few competitions during this time?"

Boss X: "The problem now is not that her family doesn't allow her to participate, but that she herself doesn't want to participate."

Lee Ang: “It’s the other way around.”

Boss X: “It’s the other way around.”

Li An: "Has your child changed in other aspects in the past six months?"

Boss X: "I can't see any changes. There's no chance in May. She has to go to Germany for three months in April and won't be back until summer. Let's wait until this year's summer camp, then let her play more with Che Lin and the other kids. She called me last semester and mentioned twice that she wanted to go to Chengdu to visit Che Lin and Wang Xiaohu after the Chinese New Year."

Li An: "Come on, it's so convenient to take a plane."

Boss X: "The key is that she will only be back for a week."

Li An: "Well, then we can only wait until summer vacation."

Boss X: "When the summer camp ended, I felt that she became more cheerful. But during such a long time in Moscow, she didn't make any new friends. She only missed Che Lin and Liu Zihan."

Li An: "Maybe the child is just like this, she doesn't like making friends, or maybe we should wait until she is older. Has she chosen the song?"

Boss X: "Not yet. This trip to Germany is to finalize the music. I will have to go there and stay with her for a month. Have you recorded the video of Che Lin?"

Li An: "No, I will start recording it for her when I get back."

Boss X: "I'd like to give you a heads up. According to past experience, it's very difficult for contestants from other places to get tickets to go abroad. The judges are only a small part of the reason."

Li An: "I understand. The level of the children in the attached middle school and primary school is there."

Boss X: "No one knows what will happen at the competition, how well Che Lin will perform, how well the other kids will perform, and on-site performance is always an uncertain factor. So if Che Lin wants to get a ticket to go abroad, there is only one way, and that is to win the whole game."

Li An nodded.

Boss X: "Not only Che Lin, but also the children from the attached middle school here, no one can be sure of making it into the top three."

Ang Lee: “It all depends on the performance on the spot.”

Boss X: "Prepare your child's mental preparation in advance."

Ang Lee: "Yeah."

The two of them clinked their glasses.
-
At 11:30 the next morning, Ang Lee returned to Huyang Airport, ending his three-day trip to Yanjing.

Less than ten minutes after Ang Lee got on the airport bus, Teacher Xiaomi also ended his long wait for a connecting flight and boarded the last flight.

Li An estimated that Chen Xuan would be almost at school when he returned home in the afternoon.

After getting off the bus, Li An took a taxi back to the store.

Xiao Yun, Mu Xin and others were having lunch when they saw the shop door being pushed open.

"Let's eat together?" Lao Tang ordered an extra-large KFC family bucket.

"You guys eat, I've already eaten on the plane."

After saying this, Li Ang went into the meeting room.

He will use this afternoon to sort out the next meeting procedures and issues to be resolved.

He won’t call a meeting of teachers because he has to pick up his parents tomorrow.

We must call all the teachers together for a meeting the day after tomorrow.

After meeting with Li Shixiang, Li An planned to formulate a unified teaching syllabus this time.

Formulated on site, with all teachers working together.

Then, work with all the teachers to put together the program for the recruitment concert.

Finally, everyone coordinated the rehearsal time together. In short, this recruitment concert must be beautiful and loud.

In addition to the work on calligraphy, in addition to the public welfare classes, Sigang will also hold a student display event in March. This is also the first student report event since the establishment of Sigang, so it has to be grand.

"Sister Xu, would it be convenient for you to come over now?"

After hanging up the phone with Xu Li, Li An’s phone started ringing.

Looking closely, I saw that the call from Ms. Zhang from the parking space came at this time?
This is not good. Is there a buyer for the parking space?
