Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 887 147. A suspected new track? The "death" of the master

While Xiaoche was washing the dishes, Li An received a call from Ji Yang.

Xiao Ji got straight to the point, "Teacher, I'm quitting the band."

Li An was not surprised, but he did not expect Ji Yang to move so quickly. "Relaxed?"

Xiao Ji: "Well, I've already decided. I'm just waiting for today's performance to end. Just now everyone was trying to keep me, but I really..."

Li An: "I understand. There is nothing wrong with doing what you think is right. I believe you made this decision after careful consideration."

Xiao Ji: "Yes, I just told my parents. My dad supports me, but my mom doesn't seem to understand. She thinks it's good for me to play in a band."

Li An: "Don't tell me, I'm still a little surprised by your mom's words."

Xiao Ji: "Hahaha, let me tell you something. My mom has really changed a lot since I went to college. She even asked me the other day if anyone in school was pursuing me. I said no, and my mom said it was impossible. It made me laugh to death."

Li An followed up with a smile: "I also feel that your mother has changed a lot in her attitude towards you. The key is that you reassure her. Besides, you are a college student now."

Xiao Ji: "Hey, teacher, I plan to refine the second half of 299 during the winter break, and try to conquer 740 next summer."

Li An: "Yeah, everything is planned?"

Xiao Ji: "I'm not sure either, so I want to ask you."

Lee Ang: "No problem, just be careful not to get caught up in the formality."

Xiao Ji: “Extract the core.”

Ang Lee: "Yes, let's insert some romantic works in between. You can choose them yourself, and I can help you choose them."

Xiao Ji: "Okay, teacher. Also, teacher, do you have any suitable keyboard players to recommend to the band? I'm really embarrassed, but I don't know anyone."

Li An hesitated for a moment, glanced around the living room, and lowered his voice and said, "Hey, let me ask you something first."

Xiao Ji: "Teacher, I didn't hear what you said clearly."

Li An: "Wait a moment."

"Linlin, take a shower first, and then go to bed quickly."

Li An returned to his bedroom and said, "Ji Yang, I want to ask you something. Don't ask anything yet. Just answer it."

Xiao Ji thought what was so mysterious, "Teacher, if you ask, I just need to know."

Li An was a little embarrassed when he said, "Is your main guitarist, Xue Li, single?"

Xiao Ji: “????”

A moment later, "Should be single."

Good, good, good.

When Li An heard this, he felt relieved for Lao Tang. No matter what, at least Lao Tang still had a chance, and wasn't this a perfect opportunity?

We are short of a keyboard player.

Xiao Ji: "Teacher, I still have to ask what's going on."

Li An: "Don't worry about it for now. I'll help you with the keyboard player's issue. I'll definitely make sure they're satisfied."

Xiao Ji interrupted again: "Teacher, wait a minute. I don't know who you are asking for, but there is something I need to tell you."

After a moment, "Teacher, she is T."

A bolt of lightning struck.

It was as if the screams of a groundhog echoed in every corner of the bedroom.

Seeing that the teacher didn't move, Xiao Ji asked carefully: "Teacher, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Ang sighed. Although he couldn't tell the difference between TP and TP, he knew what it meant.

Even if he could tell the difference, what's the point? Wouldn't this be a double whammy for Lao Tang?

"Hey."

Master, master, Li An sighed and wanted to laugh at the same time, Lao Tang is indeed a strange man.

"Teacher, are you okay?"

"Nothing." Li An walked around the bedroom with the phone in his hand. "What could possibly happen to me? You've already guessed it. I was just asking for help from someone else. Hey."

Xiao Ji asked more carefully: "Teacher, is it Teacher Tang?"

Li An had not intended to tell Ji Yang, but since Ji Yang asked so directly, there was no need for him to hide anything. After all, everyone heard what Xue Li said outside the door in the afternoon. The two had had such a simple encounter before, and now he asked Ji Yang the same question, it was hard for Ji Yang not to connect the two things together.

"Yes, but things may not be what you think. So, keep it a secret."

Xiao Ji: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Please keep it a secret for me. Not many people in the school know about it. I just encountered it by accident, so the captain told me."

Li An: "Don't worry, was she like this before, or?"

Xiao Ji: "I heard that she had a boyfriend outside of school when she was a freshman, who was also in a band, but they broke up later. I don't know if it's true or not. Usually no one mentions her relationship problems, and it seems that everyone is quite evasive. They were in the same circle before, so they should all know about it. Do you need me to find out more for Teacher Tang?"

Li An: "Goodbye, goodbye, this is over."

Xiao Ji: "Teacher, did Teacher Tang come here specifically to watch our performance?"

Li An: "No, he came to see me. He resigned and planned to come to Chengdu to develop his career. He just happened to run into your performance."

Xiao Ji: "Ah, are you here to seek refuge with me?"

Li An: "It's not that I'm seeking refuge, but it's more like that. I'll tell you about this slowly next time. Okay, you should take a rest. The final exam is coming up soon, so hurry up."

Xiao Ji: "Well, good night, teacher."

Ang Lee: "Good night, the melody you wrote is very good, keep it up."

Xiao Ji: "Hey, thank you teacher, I will continue to work hard."

After the teacher hung up the phone, Xiao Ji sighed and put down the phone. She had wanted to tell the teacher some of her thoughts on creation, but she didn't say it. The most important thing for her right now was to improve her own playing ability.

It felt like a semester had passed in the blink of an eye, and she sometimes even felt like she had just entered college.

We have to hurry up.

As for Teacher Tang, she could only say that she should be more open-minded about this kind of thing. However, compared to Xue Li, isn't Teacher Tang a little too old?

Anyway, if she were looking for a boyfriend, she wouldn't choose someone who is much older than her.

After closing Baidu Encyclopedia, Ang Lee scratched his head and found that he had gained more knowledge.

"good night, teacher!"

There was the sound of a car outside the door.

"good night!"

Li An responded through the door. When there was no more noise outside, he took out Lao Tang's phone number but couldn't dial it out.

He could see that Lao Tang was sincere, but he happened to encounter such a thing.

But I haven't even started anything substantial, let alone really paid anything, so it can be considered as stopping the loss in time.

It's a good thing.

Yes, that's a good thing.

"Linlin, you go to sleep. I'll go downstairs and take a walk."

After walking around the door of the cabin, Li An put on his coat and went downstairs.
-
"Hey."

"Boss, please give me instructions."

"Stop joking, we don't have a boss here, we only have teachers." "Hahaha, I believed it before, but now I don't believe a word of it, what's the matter."

"You're still out there?"

"Ready to go back, want to have a drink?"

"I will look for you."

"I'll come find you. Send me the address."

"Just wait for me at the hotel. See you in half an hour. Bye."

Half an hour later, Li Ang arrived at Quanji by car.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lao Tang sitting in the same seat they had in the afternoon, playing with his phone.

Lao Tang looked up when he heard the voice, stood up and put away his phone, "Where are you going?"

Li An: "There is a barbecue restaurant nearby. Come eat with me. I didn't eat much tonight."

Lao Tangle: "If you don't call me, I'll order takeout when I get back."

The barbecue restaurant is just 800 meters south of the street. The last time Li An came here was with Jia Mingyu and Lin Youyou.

There were not many customers in the store at this moment, so the two found a booth and sat down.

I scanned the QR code to place my order, and soon the staff brought a pot of charcoal.

Lao Tang: "Charcoal grilled fragrance."

Li An: "Of course. When Lin Youyou and I were in college, a few people would come here every now and then, and after eating, they would line up and walk out sideways."

Lao Tang: "Huh? She can eat that much too?"

Li An: "Yes, she can eat. Her appetite is as good as that of boys."

Lao Tang: "I can't tell. Was she also thin when she was in college?"

Li An: "She's thin, physically fit. She's a local. She brought us here when we first came to this store."

Lao Tang: "That's great. There was a hot pot restaurant in front of our school. The three of us also went there. We ate there from middle school to college, but it closed this summer."

Li An: "The business in front of your school was so prosperous, why did you close it?"

Lao Tang: "The boss took back the house and rented it to a boss in Hangzhou, who set up an e-commerce studio and made it quite big."

Li An: "I feel like the end of the Internet now is live streaming sales."

Lao Tang: "Yes, there are many who are killed every day, but there are new teams coming in every day. If you are interested, you can give it a try."

Li An: "Me? I don't have the time to do this. I don't understand it either."

Lao Tang: "Everything can be live-streamed. You can live-stream your classes. Just hang out there for fun. It won't affect your classes. Who knows, you might become famous someday."

Li Ang waved his hand and said, "No, no, I can't do it. I think it's okay for you to record a video clip of the class and talk about the work and upload it online."

Lao Tang: "Many of them start this way, just like the works you posted on Bilibili, accumulating some fans, and when the number of fans is enough, you can start live streaming."

Li An: "How can anyone really watch this? You must know Xue Dashou's live broadcasts. I've seen them a few times, and there were only 1 to 1 people online each time. He was just talking, and no one was interacting with him in the comments. He also kept asking the audience to tap , which made me almost tap my toes on the ground. No one paid any attention to him, and I even tapped for him twice."

"What he said was really solid. He has something."

Lao Tang: "If you think he has done it, then it's his fault. His positioning is wrong. If he wants to sell courses, he has to lower his status and do something down-to-earth first, something that ordinary netizens can understand. Why is he talking about Bartok right away? He starts by talking about how he was in such and such a place back then. Why are you still doing live streaming and posting links?"

Li An: “You’ve seen his live broadcast.”

Lao Tang: "I have studied all the live broadcast rooms about piano teaching. Sometimes I can't help but be convinced. Although some people can't even reach the level of 299, you won't believe how much they sell for the lessons. They don't even want to sell the lessons to parents of children who want to go professional, and they don't look like teachers. In the live broadcast room, they call uncle and aunt left and right, and they call them more intimately than calling their parents. They have precise positioning and clear goals, that is, those retired grandpas and aunts who are interested in playing the piano. They get some songs of the older generation and make them into piano scores. The package price of courses and instruments is not expensive, plus online tutoring in the group, it's that simple."

"On the contrary, for people like Xue, eh, sometimes I can understand that, when they walk around, they are all pianists. If they really have to lower themselves and shout like a vegetable vendor in front of the camera, it would be really difficult for them."

Ang Lee: "Yes, sometimes what people can't let go of the most is the past."

Lao Tang: “It is those things that they cannot let go of that become stumbling blocks for them on this track.”

Li An: "I want to make money while standing."

Lao Tang: "Hahahaha, even having a gun and a book won't work."

Li An: "You have to kneel down."

Lao Tang: "People who can earn this meal standing up don't need to come here, but if you come here and want to earn it, you have to kneel down."

“No matter who you are in real life, no matter what kind of persona you create on the Internet, no matter if you are really talented or not, no matter if you really just want to share, as long as you shout out the link, you have already knelt down.”

Ang Lee: "There is hustle and bustle, and the flow of money is not shabby."

Lao Tang: "Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans."

Li An was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. This Old Tang said one thing and thought another.

At this time, the waiter brought two plates of meat and was about to help grill them, but Li An refused: "Thank you, we'll do it ourselves."

The waiter left, and Li An started grilling meat: "Lao Tang, why do you think people open the live broadcast software?"

Lao Tang: "Before live streaming became popular, people read novels, played games, and chatted. Now that live streaming has become popular, people turn on live streaming to watch short dramas adapted from novels, watch others play games, and thousands of people chat together in the live streaming room."

Ang Lee sighed: "So the essence of human beings is actually entertainment and laziness."

Upon hearing this, Lao Tang gave a thumbs up: "Very insightful."

"Just a few words of emotion," Li An filled the barbecue plate and began to flip it. "Master, I have two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news. It's quite boring, but I still want to ask you which one you want to hear first."

"Good news," Li An picked up the chopsticks to help, "every second of happiness counts."

Li An: "Xue Li should be single, my source must be reliable."

Lao Tang: "Why are you calling me so late at night? Let me guess what the bad news is."

Li An: "Don't guess. This matter is really no one's fault, except Xue Li."

Lao Tang: “I like girls.”

Li An paused for a moment, then flipped through the pages again: "Yes."

Lao Tang: “Very good.”

Li An: "So calm."

Lao Tang: "It's a bit unexpected actually, but what else can I do? Thanks, Brother An."

Ang Lee: "Anyway, well, let's move on from this."

Lao Tang: "Turn it over after you finish drinking it."

Li An: "Okay, you decide how to drink it today."

Lao Tang: "No, no, no, I need to look at houses early tomorrow morning, don't delay my work."

Li An: "Three bottles per person."

Lao Tang: “Okay.”

Li An took out a cigarette and they each lit one.

There was a sizzling sound on the grill pan and smoke was coming out of Lao Tang's mouth.

As he was vomiting, he saw Li Ang looking at him. Lao Tang didn't know what his expression was at the moment, but judging from Li Ang's expression, he should not be able to manage his expression very well.

"Hehe, fuck, it still feels a bit uncomfortable."
-
Lao Tang felt uncomfortable for two days, until he moved into his new home in Chengdu. When he realized that he would really have to stay in Chengdu for a long time, he felt even more uncomfortable.

The surprise is that I may have to take a day off after three days, sorry sorry.
