Su Jing, Shi Qing, Lin Hao, Liu Yan, Xiao Rui, and Zhao Xiaobao left the antique shop. Old Mister Song didn’t go with them. He looked at Su Jing’s back thoughtfully, the last time Su Jing picked up a Bamboo and Stone Painting, he and Shen Hong both thought Su Jing had good luck, but this time, I’m afraid it’s not that simple. This young man may have a pair of good eyes and he is not revealing his talents.
“Mr. Su, what you just did really opened my eyes. I don’t know if I can sit down for a drink and ask you for some tips.” Zhao Xiaobao approached Su Jing with a smile.
“I learned everything from my Brother Hao. If you want to ask something, please ask Brother Hao.” Su Jing pointed to Lin Hao.
“This …” Zhao Xiaobao’s face had a weird expression, and Lin Hao, Liu Yan, Xiao Rui couldn’t help laughing. Everyone can understand that Su Jing said it on purpose. Zhao Xiaobao had previously competed against Lin Hao so how can he ask Lin Hao for some tips now?
“I have some other business now, some other time.” Zhao Xiaobao saw that Su Jing was on Lin Hao’s side, so he turned away, no longer planning on asking for any trouble.
Lin Hao is taking everyone to play elsewhere, but he didn’t go far before he received a call from the Second Brother. They went downstairs to pick him up and saw a man with a strong back standing downstairs. His skin is black, and his face is a little sad. He looks like he is in his thirties, but he is indeed Su Jing’s roommate from University and just like Su Jing, he is only twenty-four.
“Brother Lei, you look more mature again.” Xiao Rui laughs.
“Damn you, you don’t need to embarrass me as soon as we meet.” Shi Lei punched Xiao Rui on his shoulder. Being Mature is not a compliment for him who is too mature. Once, he went out with his classmates when he was in third-year high school and the restaurant waiter said to him, “Teacher, you are really nice to your students, you even took them out to eat. How I wish my former teacher was this good, it would be a good thing if he didn’t scold us all the time.” At that time, Shi Lei almost vomited blood and he anxiously explained that they were his classmates, the restaurant waiter also laughed and said that he must really be joking. Later, he took out his identity card, and the waiter looked at it for a while before finally believing it.
Shi Lei was born in the countryside, and he is also the most sincere and diligent among the four brothers in the dormitories. After graduation, he found a good job and worked in a shipyard. His salary is now five or six thousand. Except for being a little tired, he is living a pretty good life.
“Okay. Everyone is finally here, let’s go to the third floor to play.” Lin Hao laughed.
“You go and play. I have to go back to school.” “Liu Yan said.
“Oh yes, you can go back by yourself.” Lin Hao turns to Liu Yan.
“It’s only four stops by subway. What’s the problem?” Liu Yan gives Lin Hao a slight white look.
“Why doesn’t sister-in-law play with us? Why go first?” Su Jing asks.
“She has to go back early to prepare for her evening performance.” Lin Hao explains.
“So it is, so tonight we can see sister-in-law performance, we are really blessed.” Xiao Rui laughs.
“It’s folk dance. You probably won’t like watching it.” Liu Yan laughed, although she likes folk dance. Otherwise, she wouldn’t go to school here, but she also knows that most young people don’t have the heart to appreciate folk dance now and it is an indisputable fact.
“We may not like a folk dance performed by ordinary people but our sister-in-law’s dancing must be good-looking.” Xiao Rui began flattering, making both Lin Hao and Liu Yan laugh, Liu Yan took the subway back to school and Lin Hao took everyone to the third floor to play and eat. Here is the Entertainment City. There are many fun things to do here. Even Shi Qing started to play and enjoy herself after a while. Time passed and it was evening.
At about 7 o ‘clock in the evening, Lin Hao led the group to Lanhai Music Academy. Lin Hao and Su Jing took Shi Lei, Xiao Rui and Shi Qing in their respective cars, and soon arrived at the destination. The campus square was set up on a stage and it was already crowded. After all, Lanhai Music Academy has produced many stars and it is also very famous. Its variety shows are very attractive.
“Don’t go far in here, I need to go to the bathroom.” Su Jing says suddenly.
“Oh, come back quickly, it’s about to start.” Lin Hao says.
Su Jing takes Shi Qing with him, but instead of going to the bathroom, he went towards the backstage. Although he doesn’t have to rehearse, he has to report to Gu Yue early to reassure him. He hasn’t told his three roommates as he’s going to give them a surprise.
“Once they see you on stage, I don’t know how they would react.” Shi Qing naturally saw Su Jing’s little thoughts and laughed.
“Oh, I guess their jaws will drop so wide that I’ll be able to put an egg in each of their mouths.” Su Jing laughed.
As they speak, Su Jing pulls Shi Qing into backstage, where they find a separate “tent” guarded by many bodyguards. Inside, figures move like makeup artists, looking huge.
“Did Murong Xian’er really arrived?” Su Jing thought to himself but didn’t care too much and he quickly walked towards the backstage, and quickly found Gu Yue from the cluttered crowd.
At this moment, Gu Yue is talking to a fat man with glasses and a beard. The bearded fat man said, “Teacher Qin, Jiang Shao, the accompaniment player for folk dance, is ill. Please find a replacement for him.”
“Little Shao, that guy. How am I supposed to find a replacement so soon?” Gu Yue said.
“You have so many outstanding students, can’t you just pick one up?”
“It’s very difficult to play that tune. If other people don’t impose practice and catch up with others, it would be hard to avoid lowering the standard. Isn’t that a shame to our school?” Gu Yue shakes his head and says that there are so many people that he could find that can play it, but it’s hard to find one that can play it perfectly. Gu Yue always asks for perfection and he doesn’t want to go back to second place.
“So, Teacher Qin, what can we do, do you want to go up in person?” Said the bearded fat man.
“It’s really impossible, that’s all it can be.” Gu Yue nodded, but at this moment, he just caught a glimpse of Su Jing and Shi Qing who came over and his eyes suddenly flashed, “Here, A’Jing, you came just at the right time, I have something to ask you . “
“This is?” The bearded fat man gave Su Jing a glance and listening to Gu Yue’s words, it seems that he wants to make this young man replace Jiang Shao, but if he can replace Jiang Shao, he should be a proud disciple of Gu Yue, Why are they on equally friendly terms?
“This is Su Jing,” Gu Yue introduced.
“Oh, he is the ancient zither soloist you recommended.” The bearded fat man looked at the performance directory and was surprised. There were only two performance students in the performance directory who were not from their school, one was Murong Xian’er. Naturally, her qualifications are needless to say, and she is qualified and it is an honor for them for her to come. The other is Su Jing, who will perform ancient zither. He was able to participate in the performance entirely because of Gu Yue’s recommendation.
So many excellent disciples of Gu Yue were all screened and put on stage to perform by people outside the school. This made the bearded fat man think from the beginning that this person should be a master-level character, how could he think of such a young man?
Of course, if … If this young man really deserves Gu Yue’s praise and can even play the solo of ancient zither, then it should be no problem for him to replace Jiang Shao as the accompaniment of ancient zither. (To be continued ~ ^ ~ )
