Yu Xinting had to go back to school to change clothes, so she changed into a pair of trousers based on the ones Yang Jingxing bought for her, and took the initiative to confess: "The ones An Xin lent me, do they look good?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I wore the right person this time."

Yu Xinting hehe: "The waist is a bit big, but the length is suitable."

She didn't go home either, and made an appointment with her parents and teachers to meet at the place where they had dinner yesterday. Yu Xinting also said: "The ribs yesterday were delicious."

Yang Jingxing agreed: "Yeah, I'll order one."

After the meeting, Li Yingzhen asked Yang Jingxing: "A reporter went to school this morning, did you know?"

Yang Jingxing said: "They called me, but I didn't go."

Xiao Shuxia was unsure: "What reporter? The one who interviewed you...why didn't you go!?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No time."

Xiao Shuxia scolded: "You don't have time for business..." and glanced at Yu Xinting.

Li Yingzhen said: "If you don't want to go, forget it."

After lunch, we went to the concert hall. There were three or four reporters waiting here. Yang Jingxing said, "Sorry, I still have to practice. I don't have time."

Yang Chengyi stepped forward and wanted to stop the reporter, but he almost got entangled. He turned around and lectured Yang Jingxing: "Why are you so rude? You can at least say hello."

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't like talking to strangers."

Xiao Shuxia threatened: "Professor Li will criticize you!"

Li Yingzhen was tolerant: "Forget it, don't force him."

On the second floor, Jeromil and Lexian were waiting with another Caucasian man in his fifties. They introduced each other and the other person was of course Cliff, the music director of Lincoln Center for the Arts. Cliff was a bit fat and tall.

She is only about 1.7 meters tall, and her sparse white hair is very fine.

Cliff obviously paid more attention to interpersonal communication, saying hello to everyone he met one by one, with a constant smile on his face. Yang Jingxing said thank you for your hard work, Cliff smiled, patted Yeromil on the shoulder and said: "I believe that my old friend will not let me down."

.”

Jeromil emphasized: "Never, especially not this time."

Without further ado, let’s start practicing! After listening to Yang Jingxing and the orchestra, Cliff also came to hug him, but he was not as gaffey as Jeromil that day. He was just a little excited: "Why did I just find you today! This is ours

dereliction of duty!"

Next, the discussion began. Le Xian said that Cliff had to rush back to New York tomorrow, so he wanted to reach a cooperation intention as soon as possible. The Americans were very professional and had even prepared the standardized things, all in Chinese, for Yang Jingxing to review. Of course

, details are negotiable.

Le Xian explained to Yang Jingxing that New Ireland is resident at the Everly Fisher Concert Hall. They are a cooperative relationship and are bound by a contract. Pianists like Yang Jingxing either enter a brokerage company and follow the company's arrangements, and the company arranges performances.

And be responsible for promotion, or signing a contract with the orchestra, becoming a member of the orchestra, and cooperating with the orchestra's performance plan.

Although they are all commercial cooperation, working with a band will be relatively free, and you will have good and sustainable development on the road of music. You don't have to change a band every day and have to run in again. Of course, in terms of income, it is not as good as that of a brokerage company.

That will arrange intensive commercial performances and advertising activities.

No matter which method Yang Jingxing chooses, Cliff can provide cooperation because Lincoln Center for the Arts has its own agency.

It is said that it is very honorable for the boss to come and talk to you directly, but Yang Jingxing was not even interested in understanding it carefully and said directly: "Mr. Cliff, thank you for your precious time and sincerity, but I am a composition major.

student, so I must continue to complete my studies. Thank you and Mr. Yeromil, your recognition is the best recognition of my teacher, Professor Li, and this is also my purpose, thank you."

Seeing the disappointed expressions of Jeromil and Cliff, Xiao Shuxia knew something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask Yang Jingxing: "What did you say?" Yang Chengyi pulled his wife's hand to prevent her from interrupting.

Cliff didn't know how to ask for help. He patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I wish you good luck."

Yeromil still didn't believe Yang Jingxing's decision: "Why? You can't do this!"

Yang Jingxing said: "There are so many good performers in the world, and there is no shortage of me..."

Jeromil boasted: "But you are the best!"

Yang Jingxing said: "There is no best, and I don't want to be the best. I just want to do what I want to do."

This result was not very pleasant, but Yeromil could not force others to do things they did not want to do. Yang Jingxing still respectfully sent Cliff away, and the other party said he would come in the evening and wish him a successful performance.

Next, the group of relatives and friends held a discussion. Xiao Shuxia apologized to Li Yingzhen, saying that Yang Jingxing was so stubborn and didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Yingzhen said it didn't matter: "It's the same no matter where we are, and we don't need other people's recognition."

Yang Chengyi also said: "Although it is said that a good man has his ambitions in all directions, there is nothing wrong with taking a steady step step by step."

Although Yang Jingxing was said to be ignorant, he still had to go on stage in the evening and practiced twice in the afternoon. Yeromil was still conscientious.

Before dinner, Yang Jingxing received a call from Tao Meng and said, "Is Cliff here? Even if you really don't want to go to the United States, you still have to behave well."

Yang Jingxing laughed: "We already talked about it this afternoon."

Tao Meng was surprised: "How can we talk about it? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "He suddenly attacked me, so I said I didn't want to go."

Tao Meng didn't believe it: "It's that simple? Why didn't you call me!"

Yang Jingxing said: "How complicated can it be? Will you support me?"

Tao Meng was angry: "But... you should be more careful... I thought I was going to pass tonight!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Tonight is my farewell performance."

Tao Meng blamed: "Don't talk nonsense... I always feel that it's not good for you to do this... Then what do they say? Are they sincere?"

Yang Jingxing laughed: "There are so many pianists, and if I can't do it without anyone, I'm nothing."

Tao Meng was still worried: "I don't know what you said... maybe there can be a compromise. You don't have to go abroad but you can still cooperate with them. You have to plan for the long term!"

Yang Jingxing was petty: "What kind of cooperation? It means being at the mercy of others. I like freedom."

Tao Meng said: "There is no absolute freedom... No matter what, you still have to perform well tonight. That's it, we will set off immediately."

After finishing the meal, Yang Jingxing went back to prepare, and went up to the second floor to welcome Tao Meng's grandma. After chatting for a while, he said that the old man was in good health and looked young, and other compliments.

Knowing that Hu Yiqing was coming, Tao Meng left her grandma and went to greet her with Yang Jingxing. Yu Xinting stopped being a follower today and was waiting for An Xin at the entrance of the concert hall.

Yu Xinting praised Tao Meng: "You are so beautiful."

Tao Meng said: "Thank you, you too."

Yang Jingxing said: "You are both beautiful."

Yu Xinting said seriously: "I'm not as good-looking as her."

Tao Meng said to Yu Xinting: "You have worked hard these days."

Yu Xinting shook her head repeatedly: "No, I didn't do anything."

Tao Meng asked: "Are you free next weekend? I'll go to your school."

Yu Xinting was surprised: "Me? I want to go to tutoring. You go, Yang Jingxing wants you to go."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "How do you know what I want?"

Yu Xinting said: "It's really true!"

Tao Meng smiled: "Let's have dinner together then. He should also thank you."

Yu Xinting shook her head: "No, no, really."

Zhang Chujia came first, and after meeting Tao Meng, she exaggeratedly condemned Yang Jingxing: "Okay, you are such a weirdo, you are still doing underground work, I want to tell the professor!"

Tao Meng smiled: "I already know Professor Li."

Zhang Chujia said to Tao Meng again: "He is super honest in school and has no scandal at all."

Tao Meng still smiled: "It has nothing to do with me."

Yang Jingxing was angry: "You two cooperate so well!"

Zhang Chujia laughed.

An Xin also came earlier, together with another roommate from the drama department. Both of them thanked Yang Jingxing. Yu Xinting went in with An Xin and said goodbye to Tao Meng.

Tao Meng said to Yang Jingxing: "None of your friends have any artistic temperament."

Yang Jingxing was funny: "What is artistic temperament?"

Tao Meng said: "You can see how well you speak."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's just right, I don't have much cultivation either."

Tao Meng glanced at Yang Jingxing: "You don't have to be so sensitive."

Yang Jingxing said: "I seek truth from facts."

After being silent for a while, Tao Meng finally spoke: "I didn't say that was bad."

Yang Jingxing nodded.

After another silence, Tao Meng asked again: "What are you thinking about?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I am cultivating artistic temperament."

Tao Meng became sensitive: "Are you mocking me? I didn't criticize anyone, why don't I comment?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yes, you have this right."

Tao Meng was angry: "Can you please stop being so yin and yang?"

Yang Jingxing imitated the female voice: "This is called yin and yang strange energy."

Tao Meng said coldly: "I can't laugh!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Let me tell you a joke. The beggar's wallet was stolen by a fool. The blind man saw it. The mute yelled. The deaf man was startled. The hunchback stepped forward. The lame man kicked up. The madman said, everyone, please be sensible.

, Mazi said, forget it for my sake. Tao Meng laughed loudly, I told this joke!"

Tao Meng, who had always had a sullen face, suddenly laughed for a brief second, then turned his expression into a grin, raised his fist at Yang Jingxing, but turned around and ignored him without falling.

Yang Jingxing continued: "The deaf man said it was indeed Tao Meng who was smiling, the blind man said I saw it, and the mute said it was a beautiful smile..."

Tao Meng turned around and scolded Yang Jingxing: "You are blind, you are crazy, you are deaf, you are still a pockmark..."
