At seven o'clock in the morning on the 25th, Yang Jingxing called Qi Qingnuo's house. Sure enough, the girl hadn't gotten up yet, and she was still humming: "Hmm... good job... Yeah, I will go to work at ten as a team leader..."

"

Yang Jingxing said, "I'll buy whatever you want to eat. It's almost here."

Qi Qingnuo seemed to have woken up: "Here you go...can you give me a surprise? Don't be so dedicated every time."

Yang Jingxing also laughed: "Next time...wontons? Soup dumplings?"

Qi Qingnuohe: "Surprise...and my mother!"

When Yang Jingxing went upstairs with breakfast and entered the house, Qi Qingnuo hadn't even washed up yet, complaining that it was getting harder and harder to take care of her hair, which was easier in the past.

Zhan Huayu quickly advised and encouraged his daughter, saying that she was still in the middle stage of not touching the two ends, so it was easy to get messy. It would be better to wait until her hair is really long and wrap around her shoulders. Zhan Huayu even asked: "Does Jing Xing like long hair or short hair?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I used to like short ones, but now I slowly start to like longer ones."

Qi Qingnuo was angry: "Did you deliberately prevent us from eating?"

Zhan Huayu asked Yang Jingxing where she bought breakfast. She seemed to be more concerned about it and introduced a place that was reliable and high-quality. However, she did not refuse today.

Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo set off first. When they went downstairs and got in the car, they found a gift box handed over by Yang Jingxing. Qi Qingnuo didn't pay much attention to it and called Nian Qing: "... Do you want to bring breakfast... Do you want a car? Yes.

Lao Wang’s is OK…okay…”

After hanging up the phone, Qi Qingnuo told Yang Jingxing that Nian Qing and Wang Rui organized the 306 Christmas Singles Night last night. The sisters participated enthusiastically, and those who were not single were even willing to give up their boyfriends. Qi Qingnuo hesitated whether she should

To set an example.

Yang Jingxing was so angry that he smashed the steering wheel: "I've had enough."

Qi Qingnuo giggled, put her cell phone in her bag, picked up the gift package and looked at it carefully, her smile deepened, her eyes bright and sharp: "What?"

Yang Jingxing didn't answer.

Qi Qingnuo opened the outer packaging by himself, and then pulled out a cashmere scarf from the box, which was orange-red with brown patterns. The girl half-opened the scarf to look at it, then looked at Yang Jingxing, and said with a half-smile: "Every time I receive a gift,

They all have a sense of happiness.”

Yang Jingxing hehe.

Qi Qingnuo continued: "Because every time this time, I know that my husband is actually not a genius at all, he is a bit tacky."

Yang Jingxing was really fed up: "Do you know how difficult it is to choose a young and good-looking one? Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people. I looked at several stores..."

Qi Qingnuo chuckled: "But I just like tacky..."

Yang Jingxing looked at Qi Qingnuo. The girl's eyes seemed to be a bit coquettish, and he laughed mischievously again.

Qi Qingnuo folded the scarf and put it around his neck: "We are in agreement, let's match it!"

Yang Jingxing said: "My wife has a good temperament, there is nothing I can do about it."

Qi Qingnuo doubted again: "It's not a Tibetan antelope..."

Before Nian Qing got in the car, Qi Qingnuo still put away the gift box and still wore the scarf.

On the road again, after the two girls communicated for a few minutes, Nian Qing suddenly cursed: "What kind of taste do you have? You are so ugly..."

After sending Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing to the Chinese Orchestra, Yang Jingxing continued on his way. He arrived at the Philharmonic Orchestra before nine o'clock and ran directly to the artistic director's office.

The artistic director of the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra is Wang Jinzhe. He is only in his early forties. Judging from his resume, he is not outstanding at all. He graduated from the music department of an ordinary university and his first job was just a literary and artistic publicist in a state-owned factory... 9

In the early 1900s, Wang Jinzhe was transferred to the Puhai Radio System. After the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra was established, Wang Jinzhe took root in the Philharmonic and stopped being transferred. It was not until the late 1990s that Wang Jinzhe became the orchestra's office director, and five years ago he became the orchestra's office director.

Deputy leader and later artistic director.

From a conventional perspective, Wang Jinzhe is probably a person with little ability and connections, but it is definitely not easy to climb up to where he is today. There must be various stories and even shady stories in it. As for the layman leading the expert, this is not the case.

Not surprising.

But from Li Yingzhen's perspective, Wang Jinzhe is actually a person who loves music, and he respects musicians very much.

Wang Jinzhe and Li Yingzhen met more than ten years ago. At that time, Wang Jinzhe was still a clerk at a radio station. Although Li Yingzhen had achieved results, she had not yet become a famous piano educator. During an exchange event with some political overtones, Wang Jinzhe asked Li Yingzhen for advice.

Many layman’s questions…

In Li Yingzhen's view, Wang Jinzhe has a lot of musical hobbies and knowledge reserves, but they have nothing to do with natural talent.

When Wang Jinzhe was not in charge of art at Puhai Philharmonic, he once tried to organize a non-professional folk orchestra and appointed himself as conductor. It was ridiculous and pitiful at the time, but Li Yingzhen provided some help, although she had no idea about this for a long time.

Self-aware people have little enthusiasm, expectations or appreciation, perhaps just a little sympathy.

However, after being able to manage things, Wang Jinzhe still showed his ability. Puhai Philharmonic, which originally did not receive much financial support, is said to be able to self-finance and lose in recent years. This is simply a miracle. And the Philharmonic is also making progress in art, and

Collaborations with well-known musicians are becoming more and more frequent, and the reputation of performance quality is also improving.

Of course, Wang Jinzhe's greatest achievement in recent years is to invite Lian Lixin from abroad to be the chief conductor. When Wang Jinzhe drove out the previous conductor, the other conductor once asserted that Wang Jinzhe wanted to grab the conductor's position to enjoy himself. Puhai Philharmonic

It’s over!

The current situation is a bit strange. The artistic director seems to be an amateur and the chief conductor has made great achievements. However, it seems that the two of them are working well together and the orchestra is running well.

Wang Jinzhe had no airs and welcomed Yang Jingxing warmly: "I'm really sorry. I had to go to the meeting yesterday morning. When I came back, you left again... Where is the company commander? Let's go to his place to chat... Then please sit down.

Have a cup of hot water?”

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No need, I'll tell you and leave."

Wang Jinzhe waved his hand: "No need, no need... I have been looking forward to that since Professor Li said hello to me last week! In so many years, I have never heard her evaluate a musician in that tone! I will put your CD on

She is treated like a treasure in the family, and most people will definitely not let her know. I have always wanted to meet and visit, but I was afraid of being rude..."

The director did have a targeted tone and expression towards the artist, and Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "I was the one who was rude, and I asked you to do so without mercy..."

Wang Jinzhe waved his hand again: "No, no, no! Although Professor Li said that, if she really doesn't agree, I won't dare to agree, haha, don't worry."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Anyway, thank you, I won't delay the orchestra for too long."

Wang Jinzhe said sternly: "I understand what happened yesterday. Let's try your skills and give everyone a thumbs up!" He also gave one, and then said: "Even the conductor appreciates you very much and mounts the horse himself. I didn't expect that...

Let’s go, don’t waste any time, let’s go there first…can I go take a look?”

Yang Jingxing was a little confused: "Please give me more guidance..."

The two of them went to invite Lian Lixin together. Wang Jinzhe explained to Yang Jingxing that the leader was not stationed here because he still had important posts within the group, otherwise he would have met Yang Jingxing instead.

Arriving at the door of Lian Lixin's office, Wang Jinzhe acted like a subordinate: "Company commander, Yang Jingxing is here, let's go over."

The three of them went to the rehearsal hall together. Wang Jinzhe explained to Lian Lixin that he was just going to visit, and then explained to Yang Jingxing that when he invited Lian Lixin back, one of the important conditions he promised was not to interfere with art...

Yang Jingxing was caught between the conductor and the director, not knowing what to do.

There are a lot more people in the rehearsal hall today, and it seems that there are people who value the rehearsal salary, but most of them come empty-handed, just to watch the excitement. Wang Jinzhe probably doesn't show up in the rehearsal hall often, and the orchestra doesn't

Paying less attention to etiquette seems to be more respectful.

Wang Jinzhe said hello: "Thank you for your hard work..." and went there. The auditorium of about thirty people was half full, but he refused to give up his seat and sat in the last row.

Even Lixin was not in a hurry to start: "Let me introduce..."

The person who came to collect the rehearsal fee was the two-voice principal, who Yang Jingxing had to respect. There was also a female harp player in the audience who was not needed in the piece, and she was also an alumnus of Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing was delighted: "Teacher Zhou said it yesterday."

During the harp performance, he introduced another alumnus, the bass clarinet, who seemed very familiar with Yang Jingxing: "... I heard Lao Zhou say it was you yesterday, and everyone is here today."

The bass clarinet laughed: "It's a pity that we couldn't cooperate. I hope to do it next time."

The alumni here struck up a conversation, and Zhou Hongbo, who had been preparing, stood up and walked over: "Reminiscing about our school days together at this age is really a topic we can't finish talking about..."

Lian Lixin went to make excuses!

After the first practice today, Wang Jinzhe took the lead in standing up and applauding. There were many people today, and the director enthusiastically took the lead, and the applause was very warm.

Not entirely polite, Yang Jingxing was fine, the orchestra had really improved a lot compared to yesterday, and they probably did the homework assigned by Lian Lixin afterwards.

The orchestra members generally showed expressions of joy and surprise for the art, showing that they really love this job. That's right, the director personally supervises the orchestra with economic construction as the center, so there is nothing that everyone can't put down.

But for a rehearsal hall, the applause seemed a bit too long. Regardless of the director continuing, the conductor knocked on the music stand to signal everyone to stop.

The director was very cooperative, but raised his hand to say hello: "Let me just say one thing...this piece of music is so hearty, especially Yang Jingxing's performance, which is majestic!"

As for some of the clips, Wang Jinzhe was right. Lian Lixin nodded, and the musicians and the audience also agreed.

Lian Lixin started to talk about the details of the problem, but in the ears of the chief conductor, it was still far from enough! After explaining and emphasizing for a while, he was ready to start. Lian Lixin looked at the orchestra: "Don't ask me and Yang Jingxing to accompany you to check for omissions...

If you have anything to say, we’ll talk about it later.” Although his tone was calm, his momentum was very different from when he was directing Pu Yin.

The orchestra is ready.

Next, Yang Jingxing repeated it again, but the performance of the orchestra was different, the energy was obviously more concentrated, the movements of the violin group were uniform, and the faces of each one were extremely artistic...

Even Lixin's body movements were repeated, but his eyes were different. As the music progressed, his eyes shot to the parts, instruments, or musicians he had just emphasized again and again, almost not missing. And this move

It's very effective. If this continues, Yang Jingxing can lose two hours of practice time.

At the end of this time, Wang Jinzhe did not take the lead. Everyone looked at each other and stopped applauding. Lian Lixin announced that it was time to rest again.

Wang Jinzhe came to tell Yang Jingxing that he had something to do and would come back later: "...try the simple food in our cafeteria for lunch."

Yang Jingxing said: "You go and do your work, I have to leave when the time comes."

Wang Jinzhe was not too polite: "Well...Professor Li reminded me that you don't like nonsense, so I won't say anything more here. Everyone can hear how well you play."
To be continued...
