3pm, Vienna.
At this time, the number of pedestrians on the red brick streets has gradually decreased, and they have brewed a cup of strong coffee or milk tea for themselves, preparing to spend a leisurely and pleasant afternoon tea time.
Members of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra are no exception.
In twos and threes, they descended several steps and made their way to the cafés that dot the street. Generally speaking, there are a few well-connected people who get together. Of course, there are also those who walk in the back alone and nobody cares, such as Luo Yusen.
"It's all snobs..."
Luo Yusen grunted in his throat, and a fierce look appeared on his handsome face.
Since Lu Ziwen's death, other members of the band have begun to alienate Luo Yusen consciously or unintentionally. Although the medical appraisal results said that Lu Ziwen died unexpectedly because of an asthma attack, and the cause of the disease was definitely not caused by fighting, but everyone still buried a thorn in their hearts.
Some people even discussed it in a place where Luo Yusen couldn't hear: "Lu... Did he really have an asthma attack after Luo left?"
This kind of thing is not known at all.
There is no way that there are cameras in the chief lounge, and the time of Lu Ziwen's death is not accurate to a few minutes. Even Luo Yusen deliberately poured the cup of medicated water into the sewer before he left, and the cup was taken away, which left no evidence at all.
But the evidence is one thing, the heart is another.
As a result, Luo Yusen is now isolated.
"Hey, Luo, why are you alone?"
Luo Yusen turned around and saw a short black and fat man walking down the steps, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but soon he laughed again and said, "Mr. Thomas, you Why are you walking so slowly today? I wanted to go for a walk, so I didn't go with everyone."
lie!
No one wanted to go with him at all.
The short fat man named Thomas gave Luo Yusen a meaningful look, and when there was no one around, he suddenly said, "Luo, so many days have passed, it seems that nothing has happened to you..."
Luo Yusen's footsteps froze for a while.
The short fat man laughed: "Tsk, did you think Lu had an asthma attack after you left? Haha, I'm joking, don't mind, Luo." After speaking, the man was vague. The ground lowered his voice: "I will help you keep it a secret, Luo, haha!"
After he finished speaking, the fat man gave Luo Yusen a disgusting look and quickly followed the band members who were walking in front and left, leaving Luo Yusen alone on the spot. And Luo Yusen looked at the fat man's constantly twisting and fat body, and the nausea in his eyes was about to spit out.
"Damn Thomas, you dare to threaten me... If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you...!!!"
Luo Yusen's eyes were turning red, but he still didn't say his last words. For a long time, there was no one person on the streets of red brick maple leaves, only the falling leaves were still swirling in the air.
And in Huaxia City B, which is half a world away, the night is already strong, and it is approaching the middle of the night. Zheng Weiqiao happened to drive along with Qi Mu on the way. The two of them drove the car, and all the noise outside the car was blocked.
"Brother Zheng, I'm so sorry for making you wait a little longer today." Qi Mu sat in the passenger seat, smiled apologetically, and said, "I didn't expect to find you still there when I returned to the backstage. Wait for me, in fact, you can leave early."
Zheng Weiqiao shook his head, holding the steering wheel in one hand, and said, "I waited for less than an hour, but Xiao Qi, you should listen to Mr. Tan's guidance. Mr. Tan is an old artist, he is in a certain He is indeed very accomplished in some aspects, and his guidance will be very helpful for you in the future."
This obviously means that Qi Mu was listening to Tan Zhenghui's advice during that hour.
Hearing this, Qi Mu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "Brother Zheng, in fact, I didn't go there to see Old Tan, but..." After a pause, Qi Mu slightly corrected his color, and Zhang Li's beautiful face showed a serious expression: "And I'm going to see Min Chen."
"…!!!"
Qi Mu clearly felt the tire slip!
Fortunately, Zheng Weiqiao's driving skills were still very good, and he immediately stabilized the car. Just when Qi Mu thought he was very calm, Zheng Weiqiao's exclaimed voice came: "Min Chen?! Is that Min Chen? How did you see him? He really didn't go back to Berlin?"
A series of questions made Qi Mu feel very interesting. He nodded and replied one by one: "Well, it's that Min Chen, Min Chen's Min, Min Chen's Chen, he didn't go back to Berlin. Brother Zheng, you didn't. I heard it wrong. It was Mr. Tan who helped me to introduce him. He took good care of me. Only me, Brother Du and Mr. Tan knew about it."
This is also big news for Zheng Weiqiao: "You let me think about it..."
But for a moment, Zheng Weiqiao couldn't help but say: "Xiao Qi... You really didn't see the wrong person?"
Qi Mu said expressionlessly: "I really really really really did not see the wrong person, Brother Zheng."
"... oh, really..."
Qi Mu: "..."
In fact, to say whether there is a wrong person, Qi Mu still feels a little dizzy and unreal. But the scorching heat that remained in his waist made him unable to hypnotize himself, as if that person had never appeared.
because…
It's really Min Chen.
In fact, Tan Zhenghui just wanted to give Qi Mu a chance to get to know Min Chen and pave the way for his future in Europe. But Mr. Tan didn't know that Qi Mu had known many people in Europe, whether it was London, Berlin, Munich or Vienna, but Min Chen...he really didn't know him.
Qi Mu himself knew that, not to mention the line of Min Chen, those who took the train of Daniel Duke would have very good connections in the European classical music industry, and they would go even further in the future. Shun some.
For this, he is really grateful to Mr. Tan.
But what bothered Qi Mu the most was the question that Min Chen suddenly asked when they parted at the end. He subconsciously said the pitch of the car whistle, and he remembered that there was no hidden approval in Min Chen's eyes at that time.
Thinking of this, Qi Mu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the night view of the city that was constantly flying backwards outside the window. He sighed and thought to himself: should it really be Min Chen? Obviously this is the first time we meet, and I don't know where he knew that he actually has an absolute sense of sound...
"Oh, I didn't expect it was really Min Chen, he actually came to this concert, I didn't even notice him." Zheng Weiqiao sighed with emotion, and then asked: "By the way, Xiao Qi, you Did you really just have a few words with Min Chen? I thought Mr Tan wanted to talk to you about the renewal of the contract. "
Qi Mu did not sign a long-term contract with the B City Symphony Orchestra.
City B Symphony Orchestra was forced to recruit people because the deputy principal of the second violin group was temporarily ill. During this time, the deputy principal's health had almost recovered, and naturally he would return to the orchestra. Qi Mu The position is therefore to be given up again.
Zheng Weiqiao had asked Qi Mu a few days ago what Tan always thought. But Qi Mu also said that he didn't know, because Mr. Tan didn't mention this to him, and their temporary contract was indeed about to end.
Zheng Weiqiao thought for a while, and then said, "If you want to go back to City S, I contacted some friends a few days ago. It is said that the S City Symphony Orchestra has started recruiting people again. It is the teacher's original orchestra, and the members there are also It's okay to watch you grow up, they..."
"Brother Zheng, Mr. Tan hopes to hire me as assistant chief."
"They'll take good care of you, too, and you won't... Assistant Chief?!!!"
Qi Mu: "..." He clearly felt the car slipping on the road again.
Qi Mu couldn't help but tightened his seat belt, and moved his whole body back before saying, "Well. Brother Du said that he is not too young, and he wants to leave the orchestra and give a few recitals of his own. Of course, there is no conflict between being a solo violinist and the principal of an orchestra, but Du Ge feels that he may not have as much energy.”
"..." After a long silence, Zheng Weiqiao made sure that he was mentally prepared, even if Qi Mu would tell him "Brother Zheng and Min Chen hired me to be the chief of Bai Ai" in the next second, he would not be surprised and said: " It's possible that Mr. Du has this plan, but Xiao Qi, you really... plan to develop in the orchestra first? Maybe you can be a violin soloist like Sheng Yanhui and the others."
This question has not been answered for a long time.
It happened to be a red light. Zheng Weiqiao stopped the car and turned to look at Qi Mu. He was about to ask again, but he was stunned when he saw the young man's expression.
In the chaotic and lonely night of city B, the beautiful face of the young man is hazy and unpredictable under the light of the bright lights. An unspeakable loneliness and helplessness were clearly revealed on that face, which made Zheng Weiqiao startled and a little worried.
For a long time, I just heard Qi Mu whisper: "Brother Zheng, my goal now is only the orchestra. Some people think that the solo path is more splendid than the orchestra, and they can change the orchestra at will and let the orchestra be their accompaniment. . But in my heart, I have always believed that only by being able to cooperate with others can you truly reach your peak. If you only care about going your own way, then... what you will become will only be you, not after the influence of others. you."
"I think that Du Ge has been the orchestra chief for so many years, and it is only today that he wants to go solo. I am afraid this is also the idea."
"I will definitely work hard when I have the opportunity to play solo, but my main career is always the orchestra."
"It's like Min Chen... Why does everyone in the world say that he is an excellent conductor first and then an excellent pianist when they mention him?"
"Because of being able to cooperate with others, to be able to guide others, to be able to direct others, this is really a talent."
…
Zheng Weiqiao stared blankly at Qi Mu, but did not regain his senses for a while. When the car behind him kept beeping the whistle, he hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and started the car again. At this time, Zheng Weiqiao didn't know what inspired him. He unexpectedly said, "Xiao Qi, I support you."
After a long time, Zheng Weiqiao thought about this scene again, and really felt that he was led by the child Qi Mu in a way that he could not regret.
From a youngest second violin group deputy principal, to assistant principal, to principal.
From city B, to Paris, to Vienna, and finally to Berlin.
He accompanied the child all the way, and witnessed with his own eyes that he became the existence standing at the top of the world.
There is not only one road to success in this world, but as long as it is Qi Mu's choice, he will do so without hesitation—
support.
