Pregnant with Alpha Queen's child
Chapter 9
It was only after returning to the bar manager's office that Yu Zhitao knew that Kai Meng was one of the bosses here.
With Kai Meng here, the manager received the two of them again, and warmly invited Yu Zhitao to try the piano.
Kui Meng held his chin beside him: "What's the point of playing here?"
She glanced at the time: "The Lowell band will finish playing in 10 minutes. Little lamb, how about you go up and have a try?"
Yu Zhitao wrinkled her nose: "...Why do you call me such a strange name?"
Kai Meng put her hand on her shoulder: "It's not because you haven't revealed your name until now."
Ah Jiu, who was standing aside, glanced across Kai Meng's arm without leaving a trace.
Yu Zhitao pushed back a little: "Hey, my name is Yu Zhitao."
To prevent the other party from giving her any strange nicknames, Yu Zhitao added: "You can call me 'Yu Zhitao'.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Kai Meng." Kui Meng tilted her head.
Yu Zhitao coughed: "Would it be too sudden for me to play the guqin on stage rashly?"
Kui Meng said, "We're looking for a resident performer because we wanted to try the live effect. After you play here, you'll be on stage later."
"How about it..." She looked at the manager, "You find someone to do a program preview, and say that we have found an inheritor of ancient musical instruments, and then we will present Guqin performances for everyone."
The manager nodded and went out to make arrangements immediately.
Yu Zhitao took a deep breath to relax, took the guqin from Ah Jiu's arms, and used the last bit of time to prepare.
Kai Meng watched it interestingly: "I didn't expect this thing to really play tunes, but it's far worse than our current musical instruments."
Yu Zhitao didn't know how to respond, Ah Jiu said from the side: "Each has its own characteristics."
As soon as she made a sound, Kai Meng turned to look at her.
When their eyes met, they both frowned slightly and turned away from each other.
Soon, the manager returned and took Yu Zhitao out to wait.At the same time, the temporary host of the bar came to the stage and introduced the upcoming program to others.
Unlike the bar where Yu Zhitao and Ah Jiu met before, this place is more inclined to the Qing bar of the earth age.The music in the venue was not loud, and the crowd gathered in twos and threes, drinking and chatting.
Most people didn't realize what a "guqin" was at first, and when Yu Zhitao came out holding the piano, they all secretly exclaimed.
Also because there was no other noise in the bar, Yu Zhitao was able to hear the discussions of the people below.
"Is this some kind of strange performance? Guqin? Haha."
"I've only seen this thing in middle school textbooks. Has it been confirmed that it can be played as a musical instrument?"
"I always feel that those who can use this ancient musical instrument should be the elderly people in the archaeological research institute. Is this little girl not old? Is she an adult?"
Whispers continued, but no one was optimistic about Yu Zhitao's next performance.
What's more, several people turned on the shooting equipment of the smart computer, preparing to record this scene as funny material and spread it on the Internet.
In this atmosphere, it was impossible for Yu Zhitao not to be nervous.
She went to the stage with a blank mind, and realized that she didn't have a table to put the piano on and a chair to sit in when she played, so she retreated to the backstage in embarrassment.
The audience in the audience laughed again.
"Hey, she ran away."
"After all, he's an Omega. He's timid. It's normal to run away."
"Haha, does she also realize that playing the guqin is just a joke?"
Ah Jiu was standing on the edge of the stage.
After listening to Yu Zhitao's request, she immediately found a set of matching tables and chairs from the somewhat messy backstage, and directly helped Yu Zhitao move it to the stage.
After setting up the piano, Yu Zhitao tugged at her cuff timidly: "Ah Jiu...Did I mess things up before I even started?"
Ah Jiu patted her on the back: "It's okay, don't worry."
The bar was dimly lit, and most of Ah Jiu's face was hidden in the shadows.
After comforting Yu Zhitao, she shouted to the laughing crowd: "Quiet."
The voice was not loud, but for a split second, there was a strange silence in the audience.
After a while, the voice of chatting resounded, but everyone lowered their voices tacitly.
Kai Meng was standing on the deck closest to the bandstand, staring at the two people on the stage with his eyes open.
She touched her chin with great interest, always feeling that she had overlooked something.
But soon, Ah Jiu stepped down, and Yu Zhitao calmed down, and started playing in the way he remembered.
The piece she plays is called "Qingquan", which is the most familiar piece she has practiced since learning Guqin.At that time, in order to take the grade test, she had a lot of hard times with this piece of music.
The sound of the guqin is ethereal and crisp, and the most direct touch between the fingertips and the strings produces bursts of tunes that reach the eardrums.
Most of the musical instruments in the interstellar era are full of technology.
Human beings have been sailing in the vast universe for tens of millions of years, and ordinary timbres seem to be unable to mobilize their senses.So I don't know when, the electronic sound with strong stimulation ruled the music world.
But now, human beings have re-established their homes in the star field and lived a life in a peaceful age.
Yu Zhitao's piano sound is only amateurish in the eyes of modern professional players, but it is more than simple enough.
Everyone in the audience had long since lost their previous contempt, and they all listened quietly at this moment.
Asking them to evaluate, in fact, they don't know if it's good or not, just as Ah Jiu said before, most people think this performance——
"Very special."
Certain memories rooted deep in the genes loosened, and everyone felt that the strings in their brains were slightly plucked with Yu Zhitao's fingertips.
After a long time, when Yu Zhitao's piano sound became a household name in the star field, people who lived in the interstellar mechanical age for a long time gradually recovered the natural frequency buried deep in their blood.
And their group is the luckiest among them, who were able to appreciate the elegance of ancient musical instruments in the first place.
After the song was played, there were scattered applause from the audience, but soon, the applause became one piece, overshadowing Yu Zhitao's bowing and thanking voice.
Yu Zhitao blushed, and returned to the backstage holding the guqin, looked at Ah Jiu excitedly and asked, "How is it, is it okay?"
Ah Jiu's attention was on the audience.
When Yu Zhitao was playing just now, she found a strange person in the audience who seemed to be watching Yu Zhitao's every move.
That kind of gaze is not probing, but more like a kind of surveillance.
But the other party concealed it very well, if it wasn't for a person like Ah Jiu who has sensitive senses, he would basically not be aware of it.
At this time, Ah Jiu came to his senses when he heard Yu Zhitao's question.
Yu Zhitao was sweating a little, and the cherry creamy pheromone was stronger than usual.
Ah Jiu took a deep breath, and helped Little Omega brush away the sweaty hair on his forehead: "Well, it's pretty good."
I don't know if she is talking about the taste or the song just now.
Yu Zhitao stuck out her tongue: "I'm too nervous, I almost played it wrong in several places just now!"
Ah Jiu said: "It's already very good."
The two were about to return to the manager's office when a beautiful little girl who was not a few years older than Yu Zhitao suddenly slipped into the backstage.
She locked on Yu Zhitao and Ah Jiu at a glance, and trot over to say hello.
"Hello! I just listened to your performance down below. It's really amazing!" The girl exclaimed, "My name is Shuda. It's an honor to hear your performance!"
Yu Zhitao shook hands with her: "Hi, thank you."
Shuda opened his eyes wide: "Are you the resident performer here?"
Yu Zhitao blushed: "Not yet... Today is my first time on stage, and I have to go back to the manager's office to make sure if I can stay."
Shuda grabbed her arm: "It's definitely possible! Your music is so good! I almost cried just now!"
Knowing that Yu Zhitao couldn't take too much time, she hurriedly finished the matter: "I recorded the whole performance just now, just to ask you, can I post it online.
"Hey, I work in self-media, and I'm especially keen on collecting special music."
Yu Zhitao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "This...that's fine."
She remembers that in modern times, many people would also photograph street performers and upload them as long as they got permission.
The current situation is similar, and Yu Zhitao feels that there is nothing wrong with it.
After this episode, the two bid farewell to Shuda and returned to the office.
The manager is not here, and Kai Meng is waiting behind the desk.
Yu Zhitao asked: "The performance on stage is over, I don't know..."
Kai Meng waved his hand: "Passed, you played very well.
"Let's sign the contract."
Yu Zhitao couldn't react a little: "This...can I sign the contract?"
Kui Meng smiled: "I always like quick battles."
Yu Zhitao nodded, and stepped forward to pick up the prepared contract.
She checked the hourly salary immediately, but she didn't expect to see a figure that was much higher than she expected.
"A monthly salary of 10 star coins? Is that much?" She exclaimed.
If she could really get the job, then two months later, she would not have to worry about her academic problems at all.
Kaimeng reminded: "I have added some 'monopoly' regulations, and accordingly, your treatment has also been improved.
"You can take a look at it in detail."
When Yu Zhitao heard the words, he immediately read them word for word.
Ordinary performers don't just stay in one place to perform. Generally speaking, if it is not for the pillars, the performer may play and sing in this restaurant for two hours today, and perform in that bar tomorrow.
But in Kaimeng's contract, it was clearly stated that during the contract period, Yu Zhitao could only play in this bar.
After reading it, Yu Zhitao raised his head: "Isn't it going to be a long time to play every day?"
Kui Meng smiled: "In the beginning, you only need to play one or two pieces, and when the guests get used to it, there may be more.
"But there are so many bands we cooperate with in the bar, even in the back, your daily performance time will not exceed 3 hours."
Yu Zhitao's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Ah Jiu.
She didn't realize it herself, she began to rely on this existence around her who didn't even know her real name inexplicably.
Ah Jiu also read the contract just now, and now nodded to her.
Yu Zhitao simply signed his name.
"make a deal!"
With Kai Meng here, the manager received the two of them again, and warmly invited Yu Zhitao to try the piano.
Kui Meng held his chin beside him: "What's the point of playing here?"
She glanced at the time: "The Lowell band will finish playing in 10 minutes. Little lamb, how about you go up and have a try?"
