world number one pianist

Chapter 74 Going to the Finals
That day, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. It was simply a good day for the competition... What the hell!

When He Shen woke up from the bed, he found that the whole room was very humid and the light was very dark. After turning on the light, he realized that it was raining outside.

The sound of the sparse rain cast a layer of gray fog over the whole world.

Since there were only eight people in the final, and each of them had about 45 minutes to play, the competition started at [-]:[-] pm and lasted until [-]:[-] pm, with a break in between.

So He Shen can wake up a little later, and doesn't have to be so anxious to go to the competition venue.

However, the concerto chosen by many people is not particularly long, basically about 30-45 minutes, so in fact, it can end directly long in advance.

If you're lucky, if a lot of people choose small songs like that, the competition might end before ten o'clock in the evening.

If you are unlucky and the final repertoires performed by some people are all big repertoires, the time may be delayed even longer.

He Shen frowned and listened to the sound of rain outside, hesitated a little, and called Zhao Zitong.

After two beeps, Zhao Zitong's sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone
"Hello? Teacher, why are you calling me..."

"teacher?"

He Shen was stunned for a moment, never expecting that Zhao Zitong would actually call her teacher, she had always called her by her name before.

Hearing He Shen's voice, Zhao Zitong immediately woke up a lot. She sat up from the bed suddenly, hugged the salted fish pillow under her head into her arms, squeezed the salted fish's head hard, and said in a slightly flustered voice .

"He Shen, what teacher are you talking about? Are you calling me teacher?"

"Did you call me teacher just now?"

"No, no! Absolutely not! I haven't acknowledged you yet!"

"Oh……"

He Shen didn't keep entangled with Zhao Zitong on this issue. He changed the phone and said calmly.

"Today's class is cancelled."

"Oh, I know, it's the finals today."

Zhao Zitong sat upright, put the salted fish pillow in his arms under his elbows, and asked while supporting his arms.

"Speaking of He Shen, when are you coming to take me to the competition venue? Or are you gathering downstairs?"

"It's raining outside, go by yourself, see you in the game."

"Huh? You don't care about me? I'm still your student!"

"Ah."

He Shen ignored Zhao Zitong's complaints, reached out and hung up the phone, looked up to see that there was still a little time, then sat on the piano bench, and started the final practice before the competition.

Zhao Zitong looked blankly at the busy tone of the phone in his hand, didn't know what to say for a while, and punched the salted fish in his hand a few times, then sighed, got up to pack up, and was ready to go to the competition venue.

Symphony at the moment.

Wang Pei in the symphony shop was also making the final mobilization. After confirming that all the students had arrived, he cleared his throat and said to everyone.

"Students and parents, as we all know, the piano teacher of our symphony shop, He Shen, has now entered the final."

"The other contestants are all teachers from other conservatories, only our He Shen, and there is no one behind him!"

"In order to support the teachers in our symphony shop, I specially bought tickets for the Golden Piano Award finals, so that we can enjoy the top piano competition in China together! Cheer for our teachers!"

After that, he opened the glass door of the piano room, pointed to the bus that had just stopped at the door and said.

"The bus is ready, everyone gets on the bus in an orderly manner, and we must not let our teacher compete alone!"

The group of parents with their children was encouraged by the surrounding atmosphere, and immediately took their children into the bus.

Standing next to Wang Pei, the person in charge of finance suddenly walked cautiously to Wang Pei's side, whispering.

"Shop manager, your expenditure is a bit beyond the standard. If you do marketing, there is no need to do such a big one, and the money spent is too much..."

"Who said this is marketing? This is to increase the sense of belonging to the team, so that these parents have a more sense of belonging to our piano store, and they are more willing to spend money in our piano store, understand?"

Wang Pei stretched out a hand, put it in front of his mouth, and whispered to the person in charge of finance next to him.

Put your hand down immediately when the parents pass by, and nod to the parents with a smile.

The person in charge of finance immediately looked at Wang Pei with admiration in his eyes, and also put his hand in front of his mouth, and whispered in Wang Pei's ear.

"You really deserve to be the store manager! What you think is far away."

"Of course! Who am I? I'm Wang Pei!"

Wang Pei smiled, accepted the financial compliment naturally, and continued to direct everyone into the bus.

He didn't tell them that it doesn't need to spend so much money to enhance parents' sense of belonging to the piano store, and it is actually more useful to hold some parties and small concerts.

What he said that sounded fake and empty, was actually what he really wanted to say.

Time moved forward little by little, and the time for the start of the game was getting closer and closer.

3:24 pm
He Shen removed his hand from the piano, walked to the closet on the side, found the slightly worn-out costume he often wore, and after dressing neatly, he specially called a car and sent himself to the scene of the competition .

4:00 p.m. sharp

He Shen came to the lobby outside the Grand Theater, and the staff standing at the door immediately spotted him, walked quickly to his side, and took him to the single lounge behind the concert hall, letting him have a good rest before the game .

The difference between this lounge and the previous semi-finals is that the room is bigger and there are more fruits on the table.

It's a pity that the variety has not changed, it is still banana orange.

He Shen sat on the sofa, took out a banana, closed his eyes, chewed it slowly, and waited for the start of the game.

4:30pm.

The gate of the Concert Hall of Jiangzhou Grand Theater is closed and no one is allowed to enter.

The light from the original extremely bright, gradually began to become so dark.

The sound in the venue also became smaller and smaller at this time until it disappeared.

Everyone knows that the game is about to start.

4:45pm.

All the judges walked out from the sliding door, standing in the same position as in the semi-finals, except that Zhou Renguang was missing in the middle.

Looking at the vacant seat in the middle, some people couldn't help feeling a little bit of regret in their hearts. The top music educator in Huaguo was forced to temporarily leave the judges' seat because of this crap.

This is really nonsense.

But there is no other way.

4:55pm.

All the judges returned to their seats, the door of He Shen's lounge was knocked, and the staff came in and gave He Shen a box.

"This is the order of the lottery. It is based on the ranking of the previous round. You were No.1 in the last round."

"it is good."

He Shen put his hand into the box, grabbed a ball at random and handed it to the staff.

The staff opened it, and a huge 7 was written on the paper.

"Jiangzhou, He Shen, the seventh place to play."
