King of Classical Music

It was only evening when Qi Mu left the Victorian diplomatic relations headquarters.

Carrying his piano case, Qi Mu found the nearest subway station with ease, and soon arrived at the downstairs of Master Lance's house.It is so convenient for him to be in Vienna, and he has already remembered which intersection to turn to and which line to turn to.

And when Qi Mu arrived at Master Lance's home, this mild-tempered master was cooking tonight's dishes with his own hands.Qi Mu saw that the other party skillfully flipped a piece of gravy dripping steak out of the pot, so he quickly took it with a plate.

Mr. Lance smiled slightly, and the two quickly put the dinner on the table.

At the end of this delicious and sumptuous dinner, the gentlemanly and polite Master Lance wiped the residue from his mouth with a white napkin.

If it was a meal with Professor Arkad, Qi Mu would definitely see countless chocolates piled up on the dining table; if it was a meal with Master Farrer, he would definitely receive questions from the other party during the meal.

But different from them, Mr. Lance is a gentleman who abides by conservative etiquette. He didn't bring Qi Mu to his piano room until all the dishes on the dining table were taken away.

There is a simple upright piano in the piano room. The room is tidy and tidy. A window is opened, facing the street. After the window screen is opened, you can see the beautiful and charming night view of Vienna.

"Xiao Qi, I haven't heard your violin for a long time since I heard your concert in Paris last time."

Master Lance lifted his piano stand to the middle of the room, then stacked the two piano scores on top of it, and said: "Last time you were in this piano room, you played a song "E Minor" and a "Devil's Tremolo", although I am not your teacher, but... I really want to listen to it again, if you play these two pieces again now, what kind of sound will it be."

Qi Mu looked up at the two scores on the piano stand, and then smiled at Master Lance: "Mr. Lance, thank you very much for your concern for me, I am very honored to have this opportunity to play these two pieces again. Let me listen to the song."

Hearing this, Mr. Lance nodded with a smile.

But after a while, a melodious and gentle "Concerto in E Minor" sounded in the small piano room.

The voice seemed to be singing in a low voice, the tone was cheerful and bright, and Master Lance couldn't help but smile with his lips pursed and his eyes admiring.

When "E Minor" ended, Qi Mu didn't stop immediately, but used a short cadenza to directly lead the piece to "Devil's Tremolo".

The two pieces of music with very different styles were so skillfully and naturally connected together that Master Lance couldn't help being surprised and smiled at this outstanding young man.

When playing these two pieces of music, Qi Mu didn't read the score.

Many musicians will practice the pieces they will play for many days before the performance to ensure better performance and memory.

But... there are always some surprises.For example, Min Chen didn't even need to read the score, because his excellent hearing ability directly memorized the sound for him; while Qi Mu strengthened his memory through long-term mechanical memory in his previous life, so that he could remember the sound. A long score.

If it's some relatively obscure pieces, Qi Mu may need to look at the score temporarily, but if it's "E minor" and "Devil's Trill", he can definitely come up with it at his fingertips.

At the end of the two pieces, Master Lance praised "Bravo" loudly. As the only audience present, he gave the most enthusiastic applause to this outstanding performer.

"I haven't seen you in half a year. I heard these two songs of yours again, Xiao Qi... I'm really glad you have made such a big change." Mr. Lance sat on the single sofa and said, "I listened to it half a year ago. Your music, I seem to feel the slight aggression behind your music, but now I can only feel a kind of... um, pleasure."

The description of "joy" made Qi Mu startled for a moment, and he asked subconsciously: "Mr. Lance, you said...joy?"

Master Lance nodded with a smile, and explained: "Xiaoqi, you have to believe that a person's state of mind will change with his circumstances. The you half a year ago and the you now are already very different, for example... ...Have you fallen in love, Xiaoqi?"

A flash of red ran from the young man's ears to his cheeks, and his fair and delicate face was covered by pink. Qi Mu coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Lance...Mr. Lance, why are you so sudden? explain?"

Seeing this, there is no need for the other party's answer, and Mr. Lance already knows what the answer is.He smiled cryptically, and then said: "Your piano sound carries the joy that only love can bring, Xiaoqi, I think...she must be a very lovely lady, right? Did you meet in Paris?"

Qi Mu: "..."

"Oh, Xiaoqi, although I'm not your teacher, if you are willing to bring your cute little girlfriend over to show me, I'd be more than happy."

Qi Mu: "..."

Min Chen, who was preparing to board a flight to London at Berlin Tegel Airport, suddenly had his eyelids twitch.

Holding a small bag, Daniel asked in surprise, "Hey Min, why didn't you leave all of a sudden?"

"Lovely little girlfriend." Min Chen nodded slightly, then took a step and boarded the plane directly.

Under the deep and dark night, countless stars shone brightly, covering the whole of Europe under a huge night sky.A silver-white plane flew from Berlin to London, and a handsome young man walked out of the apartment building with a piano case.

Qi Mu was on the phone, and after saying "Send it tomorrow", he hung up the phone.

But for a while, before he put his phone away, he received a text message from a certain man.There were only five simple words on it, but it made him laugh uncontrollably——

Min Chen: [I'm in London. 】

After thinking about it, Qi Mu walked slowly while replying to the other party: [Just arrived?The tour will start in a few days, remember to rest early. ] After thinking about it, Qi Mu sent another message: [Today I went to a band recruitment meeting. ] After waiting for about 5 minutes, Qi Mu did not wait for the other party's message, but directly waited for a call.Wei Wei was surprised for a while, then he pressed the answer button: "Min Chen?"

The voice on the phone was a bit noisy, Qi Mu seemed to be able to hear many people discussing where to go for entertainment tonight before going to bed.Daniel was also shouting, "Hey, take the room card away first, you little bastards", but amidst these chaotic background sounds, the man's deep and hoarse voice seemed to break through everything, and it came straight into Qi Mu's ears middle.

"Which band did you audition for?"

Qi Mu walked down the subway entrance while holding the phone. "Vienna Symphony Orchestra. They were looking for vice-principal, so I gave it a try. But... guess what?"

When hearing this answer, Min Chen suddenly stopped for a moment.He seemed to be walking, and when the background noise was no longer so noisy, he sighed softly and said firmly: "You are No.1."

The bleak autumn wind blowing from the subway made Qi Mu couldn't help tightening his coat, and he smiled helplessly: "You guessed it, Mr. Evra, the chief conductor of Weijiao, admitted that I was the No. .1, although it doesn't make much sense."

Qi Mu swiped the subway card, only to hear the other party hesitantly ask: "You don't want to go to Weijiao?"

Qi Mu shook his head lightly: "I don't have any particular opinion about going there...but Mr. Evra rejected my application." Thinking of how helpless he was standing on the stage at that time, Qi Mu narrowed his eyes , adding embellishment: "Mr. Evra said that he would definitely not recruit me as the deputy chief of diplomatic relations. Well, I was very sad at the time, and now you should comfort me."

Min Chen was stupefied all of a sudden: "..."

After a long while, Qi Mu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I lied to you, Mr. Evra thinks that my level has surpassed that of Victoria's Chief Jasko, and it is impossible for him to recruit a A deputy chief who is better than the chief. Anyway, I don’t really want to enter Victoria diplomatic relations, so it’s not a big deal to be rejected like this..."

"Do not be sad."

Qi Mu's voice stopped abruptly, and he was slightly stunned for a long time, until a subway passed by in front of him, he didn't come back to his senses.After a long time, he smiled silently, and then asked in a low voice, "Am I sad?"

Min Chen's mellow and magnetic voice came: "You have."

Unable to bear looking up at the shining lights in the subway station, Qi Mu asked as if talking to himself: "Am I really... am I sad?"

Master Akkad has never been wrong. In this "worst" era, an outstanding violinist often encounters the biggest problem in life just because he is too outstanding.In such an era, if you are a little ordinary, you may be able to find your own way out.

When being rejected by Mr. Evra, although Qi Mu accepted it calmly with a smile on his face, but at the same time he suddenly realized...

My future is very confused.

Just like what Mr. Evra said, a large orchestra does not need a violinist beyond the principal.Even though Mr. Hooker wanted to recruit Qi Mu to New Zealand when he was in Paris, but when the consent of Mr. Swell was really needed, this gentle and close conductor would regretfully reject Qi Mu.

Excellence, at this time, has instead become a strong resistance, like a huge wall without limit, lying in front of Qi Mu, making him not know how to move forward.

"Things will get better, Qi Mu." Min Chen's voice sounded like a sigh in Qi Mu's ear, "Soon, you will get your chance, I believe... this deadline will be very soon quick."

Qi Mu was taken aback by this sentence, and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Min Chen did not answer this question, but asked directly: "Dorrenza is also in Vienna these days, and he told me about you a few days ago. Wei Ai's tour this year has been postponed for two months, because Their deputy chief is retiring soon."

Qi Mu's eyes widened all of a sudden, some of them didn't recover.After a long time, he said in surprise, "Mr. Anthony is retiring?! I don't know..."

Min Chen said with a low smile: "Dorensa told me in private that it should... be within the next six months."

Walking into the next subway, Qi Mu gently leaned against the wall of the subway, while whispering: "Do you think I can go to Weiai?"

Min Chen didn't deny it, but just gave a soft "hmm".

The youthful voice was covered by the roaring subway, and there was a hint of a smile on Qi Mu's handsome face along the way. He didn't restrain his smile until he hung up the phone, and then carried his piano case , walked briskly into the apartment.

The loss is only temporary...

Strength, after all, is the strongest guarantee in the classical music industry.

But in London at this time, looking at the bustling city night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, the handsome and elegant man slowly put down his mobile phone and looked at the east with deep eyes—that was the direction of Vienna.

He wants his beloved to go to maintain love?

Yes, but never Deputy Chief.

But...

chief.
