King of Classical Music

When Mr. Wu yelled "Bravo", Qi Mu noticed him.

Apart from some rich people, those who can sit in the boxes on the second floor are more professionals in the industry, and Mr. Wu is one of the best.Mr. Wu's name is Wu Shengtao, and he is an honorary professor at the Conservatory of Music in S City. The old man has composed many symphonies in his life, and several of his representative works are well-known overseas.

Such a respectable old man suddenly stood in front of him, even Qi Mu was a little surprised.Tan Zhenghui called him over, and after Qi Mu politely greeted the two old people, he stood aside obediently and did not say a word.

"Old Wu, it seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time." Tan Lao seemed to have forgotten him after calling Qi Mu over, and never mentioned him again, but now he seems to have just remembered Qi Mu, and to Wu The old man said: "You haven't seen Xiao Qi for a long time, right?"

In fact, Wu Shengtao saw Qi Mu when he first entered the backstage, but he just watched him quietly all the time without saying a word.But now he looked at Qi Mu up and down, with no special expression on his face, and said in a light tone: "Well, it's been a long time."

Seeing this, Qi Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

He naturally knew why Mr. Wu had such a temper with him.

Wu Shengtao became famous at a young age, where did he meet a rebellious kid like Qi Mu who dared to scold him in public?Back then when he mainly sold violins, Mr. Wu was the most courageous among the seniors.During that time, Mr. Wu was scolded secretly by the original owner for a long time, and there was even a lot of sarcasm face to face.

If the original owner hadn't offended too many people in City S back then, he probably wouldn't have left City S, where the Qi family had a deep network, and moved to City B.

Qi Mu thought for a while, and then said respectfully: "Mr. Wu, long time no see, how is your health?" His tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and his voice was calm and polite.

Wu Shengtao gave a soft "hmm" and didn't answer much.Seeing this, Qi Mu had no choice but to find a few more words to say. Just when he felt that he was boring himself and was about to leave, Mr. Wu suddenly snorted lightly, and then said: "Tonight, some old friends of Lao Tan and I We want to get together...Qi Mu should come too."

Qi Mu's steps that had just been raised suddenly stopped, and he raised his eyes to look at Mr. Wu in surprise.I saw this old man who was always serious and still looked so cold, but the frost in his eyes melted a lot, he sighed and said: "I also saw your performance today, go on at your current pace, 'Edith' ...Sooner or later, it will be yours. But Qi Mu, if you still want to sell her, I won't let you succeed even if I fight this old bone."

Qi Mu solemnly agreed.

Not long after, Mr. Wu left the backstage with the support of a young man.Qi Mu watched the old man's stumbling back go away, and suddenly heard a sighing voice in his ears: "I treat your mother as my own daughter, Lao Wu...but I treat your father as my own son Yes. His son died early, and there are no descendants to die. You really made him sad back then."

Hearing this, Qi Mu immediately turned to look at Elder Tan who was at the side.Under the glaring lights of the stage, there were still a few white strands in Tan Lao's black-dyed hair, reflecting the scorching silver light, which hurt his eyes.

"If you still don't grow up like that, Lao Wu will not grow up in this life, and I'm afraid he will go into the coffin with regret."

Hearing such heart-piercing words, Qi Mu felt a sharp pain in his heart.But he understood that in the memory of the original owner, he never cared about these old people at all, or... the original owner's impression of Old Wu was only the figure who blocked him from selling him the piano.The original owner wanted to return to the top, but he didn't want to be involved with these old seniors again.

Qi Mu slowly lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes, he whispered: "I see, Mr. Tan."

Hearing Qi Mu's words, Tan Zhenghui turned his head to look at him, and said, "You performed well today, and you can get Lao Wu's praise. You can basically be your own in China. You didn't want to go to Munich a few days ago, why? What's going on?"

Qi Mu didn't expect that Mr. Tan would suddenly raise this question at this time. He was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Tan, I haven't reached that age yet, and... I still have a lot of room for growth in Huaxia .”

Mr. Tan didn't intend to hear the real answer from Qi Mu's mouth at the beginning, and he didn't ask any more about it. He just said a few words like "remember to come to dinner at night", and then left first, leaving Qi Mu behind. Twilight and the band members celebrate the success of their first gig.

When I went to the so-called "a gathering of old friends" dinner at night, Qi Mu looked at the smiling seniors, and suddenly understood what was going on with the eyelids that had been twitching since this morning. .

"Xiao Qi, why didn't you toast? Do you want me to teach you?" As Qi Mu's orchestra conductor, Tan Zhenghui stood up like an elder and guided Qi Mu to prepare for the toast.

On the other side, a lady who was smiling Yanyan covered her lips with a smile, and said: "Xiaoqi hasn't seen us for a long time, she is very happy. I don't need the wine, but tell us about today's Dvořák song It is a transition in the second movement of "Sixth", which is handled well."

Another middle-aged man with a firm face put down the cup in his hand, looked at the lady and said, "Cheng Tingwen, why do you women like Dvořák? Isn't Mendelssohn your woman's favorite?" ? Xiao Qi, tell me, what do you think of Du Sheng's "E Minor"?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the other person at the table was not happy: "Hey, Zhu Guang, look at the people before you speak, I'm still here, and you let Xiaoqi evaluate me?" The person who spoke was the Symphony Orchestra of City B Du Sheng, the chief violinist of the company, smiled and feigned anger: "It seems that your S City Symphony Orchestra wants to have a competition?"

……

As I said before, Qi Mu has experienced all kinds of human relationships since he was a child, and he also knows that if he wants to survive in the European classical music industry with his family background, he must be tactful and know how to choose the progress.

But this does not mean that he can face such a large group of old fritters!

After one night, Qi Mu only felt that he had been drawn out with half his life, and he deeply realized——

What is China's wine table culture!

When he boarded the plane on the third day and was about to go to City H for a performance, Qi Mu rushed to the airport without looking back, for fear of running into those so-called "chance encounter" seniors again.

In these short three days, the seniors were examining him with their lives.

The senior with a better temper and more tactful methods will use the excuse of exchanging advice to test his current level to see if he has really "reformed from evil"; Qi Mu, let's see if he has really changed, or if he is just pretending, and then leave him with one or two lofty goals, for example...

"Oh Xiaoqi, when you get on the stage in Vienna, I will send you a truckload of flowers to congratulate your uncle." The person who said this was Zhu Guang, the principal violinist of the S City Symphony Orchestra, and he was very carefree. He bared his white teeth, completely unaware that within a year or two, he would be responsible for these words.

After escaping from the wolf den in S City, Qi Mu finally felt relieved.He stepped off the plane and stepped on the ground of City H, and suddenly felt the warmth of a family member: there are no terrible seniors, everything is fine!Even the air is so fresh!

but……

Xiao Qi, is it really that simple?

The shadows of the predecessors can be found all over the north and south of the river and the great mountains and rivers of the motherland!

It was a sunny afternoon in Berlin at this time.

The Mediterranean climate makes the air in Europe in late autumn still humid, and the temperature is slightly cooler than that in China. When the members of the Berlin Philharmonic returned to Berlin from Singapore by plane, they were all very excited and did not look tired. .

Some of them were carrying piano cases, some were walking empty-handed, which looked like a beautiful landscape from a distance.

Someone once said that whenever the Olympic Games and World Championships are held, watching the German athletes is a kind of appreciation of beauty.The man is blond, handsome, and the woman is beautiful, cold, and elegant. Even if they are old, they have a unique gentlemanly demeanor, which makes people feel happy.

So when they walked together at the Berlin airport, many tourists cast admiring glances at this large team, and some people who recognized their identities happily stepped forward to ask for their autographs.

And at the end of everyone, there was a tall and handsome black-haired man walking alone.

With his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, he walked slowly in front of the huge French window, with an indifferent and calm expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

But after a while, a blond man with two big suitcases ran over panting, and said out of breath, "Min, where is your assistant? Why is that woman Mary missing again?! Agreed." I went to pick up the luggage, but I didn't see her!"

Min Chen raised his eyes to look at Daniel, and said, "You are walking too fast, she is chasing after you."

"..."

Daniel was already exhausted dragging two 32-size suitcases. It was a shame to let him drag the suitcases all the way because he was walking too fast and the assistant couldn't catch up with him. Want to see God.

After everyone got into their respective cars together, the stern-faced man leaned against the soft back seat of the car, closed his eyes and meditated.

When the car started to start slowly, Daniel, who was sitting in the passenger seat, flipped through his tablet and said, "Min, after the performance tomorrow night, we will fly to City B the afternoon after tomorrow. Will this be the case?" Too rushed? Although the members are in good condition, we have only had 6 performances in just three weeks."

Hearing this, Min Chen didn't even bother to raise his eyes, and opened his thin lips lightly: "You can ask them, do you want to take a vacation together after the performance or do you want to rest now?"

"Let's take a vacation together!" Mary, who was driving in the driver's seat, immediately replied loudly.

Daniel said with a strange expression: "This...it's hard to say, I think vacations are important, and rest is also important, Min."

Hearing Daniel's hesitant and embarrassing words, Min Chen opened his phoenix eyes rarely, looked up and down at Daniel with deep eyes, and suddenly asked: "Then you should rest first, and go to work overtime when we are on vacation?"

"I'm going on vacation!!!"

Min Chen pursed his thin lips noncommittally, hiding his smile.

In the front seat, the blond-haired manager had already turned around and muttered in a low voice, "Why are you in such a hurry to go to City B... It's not like you haven't been there before, why do you suddenly want to go back to Huaxia so much?"

No matter how small the voice was, it still caused a little echo in the quiet compartment. Hearing Daniel's words, the faint smile on Min Chen's lips slowly disappeared.After a long time, he sighed softly and turned to look at the ever-changing scenery outside the window.

When a person is tired, he always wants to go home and find someone to rely on.

Even without growing up there...

China, after all, is his home.
