Qi Mu's newly rented neighborhood is considered relatively high-end in City B. He is not nervous now, so he doesn't need to be harsh on himself. The reason why Zheng Weiqiao felt that he was saving too much was because the single apartment was too small and the rent was too cheap.
This can't be blamed on Xiaoqi. The landlord is a little girl in her twenties. As soon as she sees Xiaoqi, she can't take her eyes off her. The rent of 5,000 agreed with the agency just now has dropped to 3,500.
There are several hundred square meters of high-end apartments in this community, and there are also 50 square meters of single apartments like Qi Mu's. The greenery is very good, the surrounding environment is also good, and the most important thing is the convenient transportation. It is only a short distance from the B City Symphony Orchestra For a distance of one kilometer, Qi Mu could walk there even if he woke up early.
The positions of assistant chief and deputy chief are not the same. Generally speaking, the former will perform some performances in place of the chief at certain times, but the latter will always serve as the deputy chief.
At first, Qi Mu was also worried that his qualifications were too low, and some people in the orchestra would be unconvinced by him, but to his surprise, when he heard the news of his "promotion", the members of the orchestra actually held a concert for him. A small celebration.
"Xiao Qi, not bad, you must treat this meal!"
"That's right, Xiao Qi, he's already the assistant chief. No matter what, you have to treat us to a big meal, haha!"
"Hey Xiaoqi, what do you think I'll bring my daughter with me tonight? She's twenty this year, and she's very handsome!"
"Just pull it down, Lao Zhao..."
…
Most of the people in the B City Symphony Orchestra are at least in their thirties, and a few in their twenties are a little older than Qi Mu, treating him like a younger brother. I have to say that under the leadership of Tan Lao and Du Sheng, the atmosphere of the B City Symphony Orchestra is like a big family, which makes people feel very warm.
On the night of the celebration, although Lao Tan was not there, Du Sheng was there. Everyone was so dizzy that they drank less, but Qi Mu used her young age as an excuse to drink less. After the celebration, Du Sheng hooked Qi Mu's neck with one hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Qi, you have to work hard, Mr. Tan has high expectations for you, and so does Brother Du."
Seeing that Du Sheng's face was flushed from drinking, Qi Mu smiled helplessly: "I will definitely work hard to live up to your expectations of Mr. Tan and Brother Du." After speaking, Qi Mu helped Du Sheng to walk. On the street, began to work hard to hire a taxi.
Du Sheng said in a daze: "Well, you have to do your best, haha... By the way, I'm ready for the indoor concert in a few days... How are you?"
Du Sheng's words were somewhat inconsistent, but Qi Mu understood. Seeing that there was no taxi on the unceasingly flowing road, Qi Mu was fortunate enough to put down his waving hand and replied, "I've already practiced one more piece, but Brother Du... Do I really need to play on stage? I don't actually have any experience in chamber music."
Being blown by the night wind, Du Sheng's reason became slightly clearer. He stood up slowly and said, "Well, prepare more, this concert is quite important, many people in the industry will come to participate, it is rare for you to get a chance to perform once. ."
Qi Mu naturally knew this.
This year-end chamber concert was co-hosted by Tan Zhenghui and Du Sheng. Both of them are very respectable people in City B, so many people from the industry were invited to participate. It can also be regarded as a small event at the end of this year. Now, there are no tickets, you can only enter by invitation.
Chamber concerts are naturally different from large-scale orchestral symphony concerts. Generally, an orchestra composed of at most several people will perform together, and there will often be some solo performances. And this time, Mr. Tan gave Qi Mu an extra chance to perform, giving him a chance to officially appear in the Chinese music industry.
This is different from playing in the symphony orchestra. This is completely Qi Mu's performance and has nothing to do with the B City Symphony Orchestra.
"You have to prepare well haha, don't let me down..."
Du Sheng smiled drunkenly, and soon Qi Mu stopped a taxi and put Du Sheng into the car. At this point, he can finally take a leisurely walk home and complete the final task of sending Du Sheng.
The autumn nights in City B are really cool. Unlike the autumn in Vienna, although it is almost at the same latitude, the autumn in Vienna is not as dry as City B, but very humid. But now, the cold and bleak autumn wind blew across Qi Mu's face, as if a needle had been scratched, causing him to wrap his scarf up.
Living in the north, it is common sense to wear a thin coat and a scarf in October.
The celebration party was at a hotel near the orchestra for drinks and dinner, and it was only two kilometers away from Qi Mu's new home. Walking was just good for digestion. As he walked casually, he lowered his eyes and began to think about the problem.
Tan Lao's concert is actually... a bit specially held for him.
This old man always did something special for him, which moved him quite a bit, but he was also very stressed.
Qi Mu had never performed indoor performances before, either in his previous life or in this life. There is a big difference between chamber performances, symphony orchestra performances, and music competitions. Fortunately, he is soloing this time. Otherwise, if he has to go to rehearsal with others, he really doesn't have that much time.
"Chamber music, chamber music... "Sicily" or "Wake Up"... "
Qi Mu murmured while looking down at the ground. Although there are yellow street lamps shining down on both sides of the road at night, it is dim and dim due to the blocking of dense sycamore leaves.
Qi Mu lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes fell, casting a shadow under his eyes. He walked forward with his hands in the pockets of his coat, the scarf buried his face in half, revealing only a pair of handsome and beautiful eyes.
"Well, "Awakening" is more appropriate..."
Qi Mu stepped up and walked down a path, completely ignoring the surroundings. Naturally, he didn't realize that the moment he walked over, a man who was approaching suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at him in a daze.
At the moment when the two passed by, Qi Mu still lowered his head and pondered, but the tall and straight man was already stunned in place, his narrow eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the man with a bit of surprise. A figure slowly receding.
He was holding a mobile phone in his left hand, and a chattering voice came from the phone: "Min, why don't you talk all of a sudden? Hey, talk to me, I just said I'm going back to Berlin next week, can you? Don't stop me, my sweetheart calls every day and says she misses me!"
There was fluent German on the phone, but what surprised Min Chen was not the German on the phone. Rather...
The voice that suddenly rang in his ear when he had just passed by.
It's not Chinese...
but German.
At the moment when he turned his head in surprise, he seemed to see the appearance of the young man who lowered his head and muttered to himself. The fine black hair sprinkled on the full white forehead, the eyes he remembered should be light amber, the eyelashes were long, and the scarf was pulled so high that people couldn't see his face, but a name couldn't help but involuntarily. Emerging in Min Chen's mind—
"Qi... Twilight?"
On the other end of the phone, Daniel heard Min Chen muttering to himself, and asked in surprise: "Qi Mu? What Qi Mu? Is it the beautiful young man we saw at the concert before? Why are you again? Remember him? Didn't I bring you his albums and videos in Europe the other day?"
In the dark and cold night, Min Chen slowly narrowed his eyes, staring deeply at the back that was slowly moving away from him, without any movement.
On the phone, Daniel's noisy voice continued: "Do you still want to listen to his solo? Well, someone sent us an invitation letter these days, and I saw his playlist was on the list. Name. If you want to go, I'll bring you an invitation tomorrow. It's a small chamber concert..."
Daniel talked for a long time without waiting for the other party's answer. Just when he thought the other party didn't intend to ignore him, he suddenly heard a cold and low voice: "Well, give it to me tomorrow."
The evening wind of the autumn night gradually blew Min Chen's voice away, and Qi Mu would never know what kind of people he met at the moment of the walk just now, and he had no idea what kind of person he met. The self-talk was heard by others.
Although Qi Mu was a Chinese in his last life, he grew up in Austria and speaks Chinese really badly. After being reborn, he seemed to be born with Chinese and spoke very proficiently.
However, even so, the language he has spoken for more than 20 years has not been cleared from his brain at all. When he is alone, Qi Mu always speaks some German from time to time, but does not specifically speak Chinese.
The official language of Austria is German.
Qi Mu speaks fluently and smoothly, not at all like he has learned it the day after tomorrow.
"Well... Then "Wake Up Time", let's talk to Mr. Tan tomorrow, just this song!"
After finally making a decision, Qi Mu raised his head and smiled and looked at the sky illuminated by the city lights, and finally arrived home.
