Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 783 42. The sincerity of the handshake

"goodbye teacher."

"Slow down on the road."

Li An got up early in the morning and boiled eggs and scalded milk. Xiao Che had hot rice right after he got up.

After the car went to school, Li An went into the kitchen and worked hard for a while, preparing the ingredients for lunch. He planned to prepare lunch for the car before leaving in the morning.

Start practicing at eight o'clock on time.

After practicing until 9:30, he went to the kitchen to cook, and then set the timer on the rice cooker.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, when the time came to a quarter past ten, he went downstairs after receiving Xu Li's message.

The two gathered at the gate of the community and headed to Tianhu Avenue.

As soon as Li An got in the car, he asked for the landlord's information again. Xu Li still refused, saying that you would know in a while.

This made Li An feel a little unhappy. He said to himself that we had talked to that extent last night, so there was nothing to hide.

You told me that I was prepared in advance, right? Forget it.

She kept silent about the landlord, but Xu Li asked Li An what renovation plans he had, "Do you have a style preference?"

His style is not suitable for Ang Lee for the time being. He has only one core idea: "A problem that can be solved with five dollars cannot be solved with six dollars."

Xu Li smiled.

Ang Lee added: "However, safety and environmental protection are the prerequisite."

The car soon passed by Building A 1013, Tianhu Avenue. Xu Li parked the car in the parking space at the door. Li An got out and looked around. The door was still locked as he saw that day, and there was no one around.

Thinking that the landlord hadn't arrived yet, he said, "This place is really nice."

"Have you been here?" Xu Li locked the car and walked around to Li An.

Ang Lee: "There are only a few advertising companies in this film, and you revealed them all in advance. I had to come and take a look in advance."

Xu Li: "Let's go in and have a look."

Li An: "Huh?"

Just as he was wondering, Li An saw Xu Li take out an electronic key from her pocket, and then there was a "beep" sound, and the metal security door in front of her slowly rose.

Xu Li then stepped forward and opened the glass door into the hall with another key, and Li An followed closely behind.

After entering the door, Li An didn't know where to look, but the messy scene couldn't hide the value of this facade.

Walking around the pile of paper boxes at his feet, Li An couldn't help but spin around on the first floor.

It's good to be a front desk here.

It's good to be a rest area for parents, but it should be a small performance stage.

This wall can also be used as a book wall, copying Boss X’s idea.

Here is a display piano.

"Can I visit the second floor?"

"It's still a little messy up there."

The chaos that Li An understood and the chaos that he saw were completely different concepts. He thought that the situation upstairs was the same as downstairs, but when he went up, he found that there were just a few machines above that he couldn't name.

After passing through several partitions and walking to a door, he carefully peeked inside.

It's a mess here, but the oil painting hanging on the wall is very bright.

He knocked on the wall of the office and said, "This is also a partition."

Xu Li: "Yes."

Li Anxin thought it was a pity to use such a large space as an office. If he were to design it, the open space downstairs would no longer be used as a small stage, and it would be most suitable to move it here.

In other words, it would be perfect to build a multi-functional music classroom here. He then thought of the row of modern piano classrooms on the second floor of the Giger Art Gallery.

so good.

Compared to Lao Zhang Na, this place is simply paradise.

Walking to the window, you will see the art museum facing the street, and a little further away are the brand-new facades of the buildings.

Under the sun, the green mountains and river scenery blend into the modern streets in front of you.

Urban layout and lifestyle. A few years ago, Chengdu proposed to build a park city. It sounded beautiful, but Li An didn’t know what a park city was.

If he had to tell me, it would probably be the scene in front of him.

The feeling was not obvious when standing on the street, but standing here, at this moment, he felt that this should be the Chengdu New District created by the Belt and Road Initiative.

"not bad?"

"It's not bad, it's ridiculously good."

Xu Li looked at the scene in front of her with some emotion. At that time, people's concept of the new district was the suburbs. When Grandpa Xiaohu wanted to buy a store here, everyone around him strongly opposed it.

The scene here at that time was like a place that never belonged to Chengdu. It was not even the slightest bit dilapidated.

Even she felt that buying it was just to stand guard, but Grandpa Xiaohu still insisted on investing and chose this one among the several locations with good views in the first phase.

Less than two years later, when drastic construction and transformation began here, some people only realized it later.

It's just that the first phase has been sold out, and the surrounding house prices have doubled accordingly, and now it's even more expensive but not marketable.

From an investment perspective, Grandpa Xiaohu did seize the opportunity. As Lao Yue later said, Lao Xu had a sharp nose when he joined the army.

"When my dad signed the house purchase contract, my mom was so angry that she was almost hospitalized."

"what?"

The sudden silence in the air that I was most afraid of came unexpectedly.

?

?

?

?

It was as if big question marks were falling from the sky.

One after another, they hit Li An hard on the head, making his head buzz.

Is this shop front owned by Grandpa Xiaohu? "It's not Sister Xu, this," Li An couldn't hide his joy, already overflowed all over the room, "This house belongs to your father?"

Xu Li nodded and turned around: "Yes."

Okay, okay, Li An licked his bitter lips, as if he had been hit by huge luck, everything was sweet.

He had expected that the relationship between Xu Li and the landlord would be deep, but he never expected that it would be so deep.

"Sister Xu," Li An is by no means a powerful person, but at this moment he wants to call Xu Li his sister, without any secret words, "Then, let's talk?"

Not seeing the anxious look on Li An's face, Xu Li couldn't help but smile: "Otherwise, why are you here today?"

There was a cafe on the corner across the street, and Ang Lee extended an invitation.
-
The two locked the door and came to the coffee shop. Li An ordered two drinks and chose a seat next to the window.

What are we talking about? Li An can no longer wait for Xu Lixin to speak.

But how to talk, he still has a question.

Should I ask or not? He felt that he still had to ask, and he had to listen to what Xu Li had to say.

"Sister Xu, this house is no longer available for rent, or is it?"

Xu Li: "The agreement expires at the end of September. According to the contract, we should inform the other party of non-renewal 30 days in advance. We only temporarily communicated and coordinated with the other party in mid-September."

Li An picked up the coffee and took a sip, then heard Xu Li say: "It went very well. They also plan to change places."

"You can't lie to me," Li An put down his coffee and looked at Xu Li seriously: "Sister Xu, first of all I have to thank your family for this. Secondly, I also want to express my attitude. If the contract is not terminated according to the time requirements, Renewing the contract has caused you to suffer financial losses, and this loss should be borne by me.”

"Maybe I shouldn't say this, but since you brought me here today and we are sitting here face to face, I think you also have your own considerations and plans, so I will say this upfront."

Xu Li: "I understand, so if you ask, I will tell you. You don't have to have any psychological burden here. Even if it doesn't have to do with you, I want to take the house back and do something by myself in the second half of this year. In my case, you I also know that Xiaohu’s current situation has basically entered a stable stage, and I have to start working.”

"It happens that you have the idea of ​​opening a school. I also think this is a good project, so I vacated the house in advance. It is a bit of sincerity on my part. As for whether you are willing to cooperate, it is up to you."

Ang Lee: "Piano Classroom No. 4."

Xu Li: "Yes, if you are willing to cooperate, then we will discuss it in detail."

"If you are not willing to cooperate, you can use half of the second and first floors. I need to set up my own office on the first floor. Don't worry, it won't affect your opening of the school."

"Even if I don't rent it to you, I will rent half of it to others. I can't use that much space myself. It's a waste."

"So again, you don't need to have any psychological burden. At most, I vacated the house in advance. It is a bit of sincerity on my part and a bit of my dad's heart. Since you took care of Xiaohu, they have always wanted to thank you. ”

After finishing her words, Xu Li took a sip of coffee. After a night of thinking, she found that she had been in a misunderstanding when thinking about this matter.

She always believed that Li An would definitely choose to cooperate with her in the end, because from Li An's point of view, Li An had no reason to reject her at this stage.

In her analysis, except for Li An’s strong professionalism and a certain degree of experience in operating social training institutions, he has shortcomings in other aspects.

First of all, through the writer's questions, she could confirm that Li An knew almost nothing about finance and thought that the profit-making process was as simple as buying vegetables and cooking. This was obviously wrong.

Secondly, Li An is a first-time entrepreneur and lacks entrepreneurial experience. She knows that Li An can endure hardships, but starting a business requires more than just a hard-working spirit.

The last thing is funding. In the early stages of opening a school, money is spent. If necessary, additional investment must be made outside the budget. Fund reserves are needed, and Ang Lee's economic situation is not optimistic.

So if Ang Lee chooses to cooperate with her, Ang Lee will no longer have any shortcomings.

She believed that Li An was clear about his own situation, and she also believed that through the two of them working together for more than a month, the other party could see her own advantages.

But she ignored one thing. All of this was just her opinion from a slightly higher position.

Wouldn’t Ang Lee be able to successfully start a business without her?
Obviously not.

She realized that it was because the bond between the two of them was their son, and she had tied the relationship between the two in some way, which led to her having some biased thoughts.

I am willing to do something for my son, and it is something that is beneficial to you, so you will accept it. (×)

In fact, what she did for her son had nothing to do with Ang Lee himself.

Li An can accept or refuse, because the son is her own son, and Li An is just his son's teacher. (√)
Now to untie this layer of bondage, from an equal perspective, regard Li An as a partner she really wants to cooperate with, and start from Li An's perspective again, she said the above words.

If Li An is willing, the two will discuss the next step.

If Li An is unwilling, as she said, she is willing to rent the house to Li An, and when Li An encounters some business problems, she is also willing to help Li An as a friend.

As a mother, in order to sincerely thank Li An for teaching her son and to satisfy her son's love for Li An, there is only so much she can do for Li An and his son.

Now that she has finished speaking, the rest is left to Li An to make the choice.

After a long time.

"Sister Xu, thank you."

"We are the ones who should say thank you, and I should say sorry to you for some things."

"I'm sorry, it's really not necessary. It's the same words I said last night. Maybe that's just the way I am. I like children and being a teacher."

Li An burst into laughter as he spoke, "I really didn't expect that you said that from last night to this morning, it was like riding a roller coaster. First, you knew that Xiaohu's father had passed away a long time ago. When today came, the house belonged to your family again, and you At this point, I don’t even know what to say.”

"I chatted with Chen Xuan for a long time last night. Let me explain it to her. In fact, it is just like this. There is nothing to explain. But as a woman, Sister Xu, I have no other meaning. I just..."

Xu Li: "I understand, I'm causing trouble for you."

Li An: "No, no, this has nothing to do with you. As Chen Xuan said, everyone has their own difficulties. Even the closest people may choose to keep some things. In the end, she still disliked me. If it’s superfluous, I think about whether it’s superfluous or not, so I’ll treat it as superfluous, and I have to say it’s superfluous.”

"why."

"Because I've been thinking about how to talk to you recently. I've actually been thinking about our cooperation for a long time. Even if you don't mention it today, I still have to talk about it."

"I'm really not good at business issues, but I want to make money, so I'll find a suitable partner. With Sister Xu in charge, I'll dare to give it a try."

"Secondly, you mentioned before that you want to try the education sector."

"Third, don't we have the foundation of book people? On the day we ate boiled fish, didn't we also talk about the future of book people?"

"The idea in my heart is that if we have money, let's make it together. I know that you had the same idea at that time. Not to mention for the sake of the children, making money is a very pure thing."

"But what was my concern at the time? I have never seen Xiaohu's father."

"Because in my opinion, this is a matter between two families. I think I should at least listen to what Xiaohu's father has to say, but you have always avoided this issue."

"Actually, Chen Xuan was a little sensitive at the time. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course, we all know it now, so I have to talk to Chen Xuan. In my heart, family comes first. I don't want her to have any unnecessary misunderstandings because of my future working environment. idea."

"Because I want to cooperate with you. If we negotiate cooperation, we will inevitably get closer in the future."

"I'm sorry, Sister Xu. Cooperation is what I look forward to, and my respect for you comes from the bottom of my heart. Telling you these words can be regarded as a bit of sincerity on my part."

Xu Li smiled and stretched out her hand: "You did the right thing, it's time to turn the page."

Li An stretched out his hand and shook it, and the two of them exerted their strength on each other.
