King of Classical Music

The water is turbulent, flowing slowly in the boundless night.Under such a deep night, the blue Danube is like a long black jade belt, washing away the years that have been deposited for thousands of years.

Taking advantage of the dark night, Qi Mu didn't deliberately put on his hat again, he just walked casually along the shore with his piano case in his hand, and said to the phone: "I just got out of the subway, and your phone called Here we come. By the way, the concert in London should start soon, right?"

Bo Ai will hold a concert in London tonight, which is the penultimate performance of their tour.

The other end of the phone was very quiet, and Min Chen's deep magnetic voice mixed with the rustling of electricity: "Well, I'm about to play, and I'm in the waiting room now." : "The contract has been renewed." The tone was calm and decisive, without any hesitation.

Min Chen naturally knew that today was the day for the members' meeting of the Wei Ai Orchestra, and he also knew what kind of theme would appear in today's meeting.Qi Mu had already told him these things, but Qi Mu didn't expect that, why did this man judge with such certainty that he had renewed his contract?

"Why are you all so sure that I have renewed my contract?" Under the dim streetlights, the thin shadow of the young man was elongated by the yellow streetlights, swaying on the red brick road, "Maybe I didn't renew my contract?"

A low laugh came from the listening hole of the mobile phone, and Min Chen's thin lips curled slightly: "Your voice is very happy. So...you renewed the contract."

For such an answer, Qi Mu had no choice but to answer resignedly: "Okay, then you and Brother Chen guessed right, I renewed the contract. But you have to guess, how long is the contract renewal?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Min Chen said firmly, "One year."

The steps under his feet stopped suddenly, Qi Mu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and looked at the front of the road in disbelief.On the sidewalks on both sides of this street, all passers-by came and went in a hurry, and no one noticed Qi Mu's figure - after all, young people with violins can be seen everywhere in Vienna.

After a long time, Qi Mu simply leaned against the lamppost by the side of the road, and asked with a light smile, "Why do you guess it's a year?"

"intuition."

Turning his eyes, Qi Mu asked: "Then use your intuition to help me think again, when will I leave for Berlin? Now that the contract has been renewed, I might as well deal with the orchestra's recent busy matters first, and wait until I have something to do." Let’s forget about going to Berlin again.”

Min Chen: "My intuition says you're leaving tomorrow!"

With a chuckle, Qi Mu walked towards the apartment again: "Your intuition is very inaccurate this time, I probably won't be able to go to Berlin until the day after tomorrow, and I have to deal with the contract matter tomorrow, and I have to talk to Chen Brother to discuss."

When he was talking about this, Qi Mu heard someone knocking on Min Chen's door, and then someone said loudly, "The concert is about to start, please get ready."So he said to the other end of the phone: "Okay, you are about to go on stage, so I will hang up first. I remember that the Berlin Music Station will broadcast your concert live. I should have time to go home now."

Min Chen gave a soft "hmm" and said "be careful on the road", and the two hung up the phone.

Bo Ai’s concert was not conducted by Min Chen. This time, he played Chopin’s "First and Second Piano Concerto" and Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" with Bo Ai as a pianist again. Song" and Schumann's "Fantasia".

The sound transmission effect of the audio equipment is naturally much worse than that of the scene, but even so, Qi Mu sat on the sofa in his living room and applauded this orchestra and this great pianist from the bottom of his heart.Even when he saw a certain man suddenly looking directly at the camera, with a smile on his lips, Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then he came back to his senses.

... This guy is really, suddenly smiled at the camera, this is a foul!

Even Qi Mu felt that such a random distribution of hormones was an obvious foul, and Min Chen's music fans were all over the place.These excited music fans are all sitting in front of their TVs tonight, waiting to watch Bo Ai's tour, and they just saw half of it...

"Ahhh! Mr. Bertram just looked at me and smiled, didn't he?"

"You're thinking too much! Mr. Bertram is looking at me and smiling!!!"

"...I said, isn't Mr. Bertram looking at the camera and smiling?..."

A serious, serious man who has always been unsmiling suddenly showed a smile, which can be regarded as a horrifying thing for everyone.

Especially for Min Chen's music fans, they have long been accustomed to the cold and indifferent look of their male gods, even if they are conducting Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" with enthusiasm, even if they conduct the "Ode to Joy" part, their male gods will always be indifferent. It's a cold face, okay?

But today... Whether it was a landslide or a spark hitting the earth, why did he laugh all of a sudden! ! ! !

This is not scientific at all!

But...whether he is scientific or not, he just smiled at them anyway, haha!

As for the real owner of this smile, Qi Mu, he is not as crazy as these music fans.After the concert was over, he directly sent a text message, reprimanding him like this: [Doing this kind of thing in public, dare to ask Mr. Auston Burtram, where is your face? 】Although it was an accusation, Min Chen raised an eyebrow because of the unconcealable teasing in his tone.He has always been much better at flirting and cursing than the young people in his family. Isn't it just a bit thick-skinned, Min Chen quickly replied: [My face, my person, and my heart, they have always been with you. ] Qi Mu who saw this text message: "!!!"

Shut down and sleep!

Compared with this guy, Qi Mu felt that he really thought too much! ! !

……

The next day, Wei Ai's shrewd and capable agent, Mr. Tuckerman, drafted a contract and handed it over to Qi Mu.This time, Qi Mu no longer checked the contract alone like last time, Chen Lingpin took over the task of helping him check the contract, and started to study it carefully.

If you want to be an excellent broker, you must have some knowledge in the most basic psychology, business negotiation and contract, financial management, etc.It is obvious that Chen Lingpin is not so simple to dabble in these aspects, he is very proficient in these complicated knowledge.

Moreover, unlike other managers in other industries, Chen Lingpin's eight years of experience in the Conservatory of Music in S City has brought Chen Lingpin's understanding of classical music to a higher level. He also has some experience in the complex internal relationships of the organizational structure.You must know that Chinese people are much smarter than Westerners when it comes to setting up organizations. There should be several ministers and deputy ministers in the same department, and what functions they have. Thick references come.

Therefore, when Mr. Tuckerman waited confidently for Chen Lingpin to read the contract, he saw this gentle and handsome manager push the frame on the bridge of his nose and look up at Tucker. Man, said seriously: "There is basically nothing wrong with this contract, but there is one place where I hope to make some adjustments."

Mr. Tuckerman was taken aback suddenly: "Adjustment?"

Chen Lingpin nodded: "Yes, I hope to make a small change in the time of 'whether to renew the contract'. The original contract said 'this contract expires on June 2019, 6, and will expire in 1 The contract renewal review will be carried out on May 2019, but I hope to advance the review time by three months." After a pause, Chen Lingpin added: "Before March 5, 1, I hope that Wei Ai will give Qi Mu Whether to renew the contract can be reviewed."

As soon as Chen Lingpin's words hit the ground, Mr. Tuckerman and Qi Mu immediately understood.The previous review time was one month in advance, but now it has become three months, which is actually giving Qi Mu a buffer time.Assuming that the contract will not be renewed next time, then Qi Mu can still make preparations in these three months and pave the way for the future.

Regarding this suggestion, Mr. Tuckerman naturally has no doubts at all.He could still decide on this small matter on behalf of the orchestra, so after revising the contract on the spot, Qi Mu signed his name on the contract.

The short signing time of one second determines that Qi Mu and Wei Ai will be bound for another year.

Several people quickly finalized the contract.Because Wei Ai is completely on vacation today, Qi Mu and Chen Lingpin talked with Mr. Tuckerman for a while, and then left the Wei Ai headquarters first.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Friends of Music Association building, Qi Mu was ready to go back and pack up his things again, and rush to Berlin the next day—it's best to arrive before a certain man, so as not to miss the appointment.

"Qi Mu, we will spend the next year with Wei Ai." Chen Lingpin said as he walked, "There is something I think you need to prepare for next time. The possibility of your contract renewal should be less than [-]%, from now on I will make some plans for your future development direction, and you also need to be mentally prepared."

Hearing these words, the smile on Qi Mu's lips gradually disappeared.Of course, he also understood that what Chen Lingpin said was very likely to become a reality, so he just sighed softly in his heart, then nodded and said: "Okay Brother Chen, I will trouble you for the next year."

Chen Lingpin stretched out his hand and smiled slightly: "During the year, we have had a good time getting along!"

Qi Mu reached out to shake hands with him: "Have a good time getting along!"

That afternoon, Qi Mu packed up some simple clothes, and then rushed to Vienna International Airport with a small suitcase.The silver-white plane took off from Vienna and landed steadily at Tegel Airport within an hour.

After picking up his luggage, Qi Mu quickly took out his mobile phone to check the time, and after confirming that it was still in time, he quickly pulled the suitcase and ran to another channel building.Along the way, some people spotted Qi Mu, but just as they shouted "Xiao Qi!", Qi Mu quickly ran out of their sight.

Onlookers: "...???"

Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, when Qi Mu finally ran to the T1 channel building, he stretched his neck and looked inside the exit while propping his knees and panting slightly.

It seemed that a plane had just arrived, and many people came out with their suitcases. When a familiar figure appeared, Qi Mu straightened up abruptly, and his looking eyes became more focused.Then, the second member of Bo Ai appeared, the third, the fourth...

Suddenly, when Qi Mu saw that elegant figure in the crowd, he couldn't help showing a relaxed smile, then raised his right hand, and waved vigorously at that person.
