"Young man, you have bad taste... How can you not order coffee when you come to my place? My latte and pour-over are both classic." The shop owner saw the two new customers. Although his tired eyes were shining again, he still
He was not satisfied with the orders of the two customers and wanted to boast a little bit about himself.
"No, just hot cocoa and coconut milk. Coconut milk should be served with ice." Zhong Buqun took out his mobile phone and paid the bill, while the shopkeeper prepared the drink with a sullen face.
Are you kidding? He obviously makes the best coffee!
It can be seen that the crux of the poor business of this small shop is that the boss has no self-awareness.
Lu Panpan and Zhong Buqun found a seat at random and sat down. Lu Panpan took out the laptop he had been holding all the way, opened the official website interface, and showed Zhong Buqun a look at the registration interface and registration deadline.
"There are still nearly four hours left, let's do it together."
"Actually, I suggest that we should not participate in the competition for the sake of being conservative." Zhong Buqun coughed to hide his deep inner panic. He really couldn't face Lu Panpan's burning, expectant eyes directly, "I
I know you really want to participate, and I do too, but if we need to perform a five-minute play in the preliminaries, what about the mid-term and final plays? Can we still complete it with quality and quantity during the usual class check-in, morning and evening exercises?
Lu Panpan, we are not just picking up a five-minute play and reading it for fun, we are going to compete."
"Participating in the competition means that we have to fine-tune every move in the repertoire we perform on stage, and strive to perfect it. We have to train hundreds or thousands of times before going on stage to develop muscle memory. But even so,
None of us may be able to pass the pre-selection of the professional track. For those seniors in the professional group, one excerpt of what they dance on stage every day is enough to sign up for the competition, and they are even more proficient than us after hard training... Once we lose, the time we invested will
and energy, all was wasted.”
"Besides, even if we encounter the worst situation and fail the competition and application, we will not be able to enter the National Dance Troupe in the first year. We still have many other large troupes to choose from. If we want to enter these troupes, we must ensure that we are in the national dance troupe in the first year.
During this period of study in the academy, my grades have always been excellent. Have you ever thought about what it means for us to give up our grades and concentrate on preparing for the competition?"
Zhong Buqun made it clear to Lu Panpan what he had not said before. Listening to these cruel facts, Lu Panpan obviously couldn't accept it for the moment, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Perhaps realizing that his words were harsh, Zhong Buqun touched the tip of his nose and said slowly, "This time our qualifications were disqualified, and I also bear a big responsibility. You can say whatever you want, this coffee
There was no one else in the hall."
What this meant was that Lu Panpan knew that she was worried at the moment and gave her the right to vent her anger by scolding herself at will.
Boss: ...What do you mean there is no one else? Am I just air?
In order to show his presence, the boss brought the prepared drinks in front of the two of them.
"Thank you." Zhong Buqun and Lu Panpan took the drinks and quickly returned to their previous expressions.
...The boss may have a sense of presence, but not much.
"I also thought about blaming you, but I'm not in the mood right now... Do we have to just watch the registration deadline for the Qingmiao Cup?" Lu Panpan held up her chin, "Can you wait for me to digest what you said?
?”
"You two are also going to the Qingmiao Cup?" The boss interrupted abruptly at this time, and both Lu Panpan and Zhong Buqun were stunned.
It is said that this boss is not a member of the school, but he did not expect to know about these dance competitions.
"Yes, we were originally the recommenders of the academy's ballet group..." Lu Panpan was in a state of confusion and answered the question smoothly. Zhong Buqun originally wanted to remind her that there was no need to say more, but she couldn't.
After saying that, he could only look at her helplessly.
"Oh, those two unfortunate young talents that Xiao Li told me are the two of you..." The boss sighed softly, "It's really not worth it. Good children are so playful and are being manipulated.
...If you want to join the professional group, the five-minute repertoire is not short. There is no need to emphasize the difficult pointe part. The most difficult part of the double repertoire is the lift."
?!
How come this boss...is so eloquent when talking about these things?
"Let me tell you, although this competition is not easy, the gold content of winning is high. If you two really want to go, I can help you think of a strategy... But you must learn a lesson this time!
You go to the bar all the time, drink, let alone a student, even if you already have a troupe, you will be labeled as unprofessional! Remember, you are dancers and you have to be on stage! At any time
You can’t be too lax by boasting about your talent or ability. As far as I know, in those professional dance troupes, there is never anyone who smokes, drinks and falls in love all day long.”
Hey, the boss is getting more and more enthusiastic as he talks. Not only is he eager to provide strategies, but he also teaches people a lesson.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed out the real difficulty of the duet repertoire, which showed that he was no amateur. Lu Panpan and Zhong Buqun quickly exchanged glances, and Zhong Buqun asked, "Are you very interested in ballet?"
"What the hell! I haven't retired for several years... If you had enrolled a few years earlier, you could still have chosen my lectures."
He turned out to be a professor of the ballet department! No wonder they just called their teacher Li Xiao Li. If they weren't familiar with each other, how could they be called so affectionately?
"Oh my God, we didn't know before that you were..." a professor at the college.
After working on it for a long time, studying coffee is his hobby... The total income from various channels of lectures and performances is indeed enough for him to open a coffee shop in a corner of the school and spend several years studying coffee.
"Well, I know that my students have all graduated a long time ago. The teachers who used to interact with me often haven't come to my place to drink coffee for a long time... It's really strange. After drinking, they all said that the coffee I made is good.
Drink, why don’t you come here often and help me promote it? Forget it, let’s settle your matters first.”
Lu Panpan and Zhong Buqun:... This chapter has been completed!
