Engelchen<\/b><\/a>, you look so beautiful in red. How?\u201d Daniel declared enthusiastically, \u201cI have never seen anyone who could wear red so well. You really do surprise people, Engelchen<\/b>!\u201d<\/p>\nThe interrupted Min Chen: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p>\n
The face\/mascot\/Xiao Tian Shi\/Xiao<\/b> Qi: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p>\n
Befitting the reputation of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra\u2019s ace agent, Daniel\u2019s sighing in admiration lasted for only a moment. He turned to Tan Zheng Hui and Du Sheng and said in awkward Chinese, \u201cThis concert. . . Really successful. . . Me, I\u2019m glad to have come again!\u201d<\/p>\n
Min Chen expressionlessly cast a sidelong glance at Daniel and said, \u201cIt\u2019s not come again, it\u2019s come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t understand whatever you say anyway!<\/i><\/p>\n
Knowing that in the land of Huaxia, Daniel may as well be considered \u201cilliterate,\u201d Min Chen didn\u2019t bother responding to him again and instead turned to the others. He nodded gently and said, \u201cThe concert was excellent, and so were the performances. Thank you for your invitation.\u201d<\/p>\n
While praising Qi Mu, Daniel was speaking in German, and Tan Lao<\/b> was too old to start learning even English. Although Du Sheng was proficient in English, he couldn’t understand German. So neither of them knew that Xiao<\/b> Qi, their family\u2019s mascot had a new nickname: Engelchen\/Xiao Tian Shi<\/b>.<\/p>\n
But, both of them listened carefully to Min Chen\u2019s words. Tan Lao<\/b> smiled, nodded, and said, \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to have you. Thank you, Min Chen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Min Chen had always been a good communicator, even with people he wasn\u2019t familiar with. He nodded politely and each minute detail of the movement was like a gentleman in medieval Europe. Even though there was no expression on his face, Tan Lao<\/b> didn\u2019t feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the finale, Tchaikovsky\u2019s op. 48 \u300aString Serenade\u300b was excellent. The termination part of the third movement was a bit fast on the second violin. I think it will be even more exceptional if you could improve that.\u201d Min Chen made it sound like a casual comment, but Du Sheng cast aside his relaxed smile and listened attentively.<\/p>\n
Although he was older than Min Chen, he had to admit that this man would always notice the things they overlooked.<\/p>\n
Min Chen\u2019s order of conversation could be seen with a glance. After talking to Du Sheng, he turned to Qi Mu, and Qi Mu could not help but go quiet, involuntarily swallowing a mouthful of saliva.<\/p>\n
In his previous life, the highest form of praise had come from Mr. Erberk Dorenza, the conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and also one of the world\u2019s four grand conductors. Qi Mu had exchanged many pointers with the man during his rehearsals with the orchestra and gained frequent inspiration.<\/p>\n
But the man in front of him. . . was the conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. And he also had the honor of being one of the four grand world conductors at such a young age.<\/p>\n
The most important thing was, he had been acknowledged by everyone as the king of classical music.<\/p>\n
After writing his first sonata at the age of sixteen, he proceeded to create dozens of songs in just a decade. Most of those songs were symphonic pieces and were played by orchestras all around the world. In the past few years, he personally directed a \u201cBertham Night\u201d where all the songs he composed were performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.<\/p>\n
And now, Qi Mu was waiting for this legendary figure\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n
Qi Mu suddenly realized he could hear his heartbeat thumping as if it would jump from his throat the next second. This was different from his previous contact with the man, this time. . . it was a real review.<\/p>\n
He no longer had an orchestra to rely on. This was his solo, and this review was entirely his own, where no other factors were to be considered.<\/p>\n
The bleak night wind blew in from the other side of the road, sweeping over the man-made lake in front of the concert hall. The moon\u2019s reflection on its surface was suddenly distorted by a series of ripples. It seemed to mirror Qi Mu\u2019s mood of not being able to remain calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour \u300aTzigane\u300bwas very good. I think you would play Paganini\u2019s songs very well. \u300aE Minor\u300bhad no outstanding issues, but you were too quick on the third part of the second movement. If you were playing in an orchestra, your deputy chief would be troubled.\u201d<\/p>\n
The slightly hoarse but magnetic voice rang out on the evening breeze, and Qi Mu subconsciously lifted his head. He looked up towards the right. He obviously didn\u2019t expect to meet Min Chen\u2019s gaze head-on.<\/p>\n
The hall\u2019s splendid chandelier shone through the tall doors onto the young man\u2019s face, and Min Chen had a sense of deja vu. Qi Mu\u2019s eyes were wet as if a pitiful kitten was staring at him, and Min Chen\u2019s heart trembled as his throat tightened.<\/p>\n
Then, with his tone a bit stiff: \u201cOverall, you played well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The word \u201cwell\u201d was almost the highest evaluation he had ever given and it made Daniel glance at him again. When Daniel looked at him, he saw Min Chen was so focused on Xiao Tian Shi<\/b>, and he suddenly thought: Do you want to scoop up <\/i>Engelchen<\/i><\/b>?! What great potential!<\/i><\/p>\n
Without delay, Daniel said to Qi Mu, \u201cDo you wish to study in Europe? I know several colleges. Whether it\u2019s Paris, or the UK, or even Cologne, Germany, there are no problems. I can recommend you. I really like the sound of your violin. I was impressed!\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel spoke in English as his Chinese was not good. When he was researching Qi Mu for Min Chen, he found out that Qi Mu\u2019s English was excellent and he could carry a normal conversation.<\/p>\n
After Daniel had spoken, Qi Mu didn\u2019t even have to think about it as he replied with a smile, \u201cThank you for your kindness, Mr. Daniel, but I have no plans to further my studies at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel sighed and said a few more words to persuade him, but Qi Mu politely refused them all one by one. In the end, Daniel could only give up on this \u201crecommendation\u201d plan that had made him suffer and turned to chat with Du Sheng and Tan Zheng Hui.<\/p>\n
Qi Mu actually knew that he had no relationship with Duke Daniel, and the other party wouldn\u2019t recommend him to a college for no reason. Daniel may look approachable on the surface, but Qi Mu wasn\u2019t simple enough to believe in words like \u201cI like your violin\u201d or \u201cI am impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel wanted to use this opportunity to bind his future with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. He wanted to recommend him in the name of \u201ccultivating future members,\u201d and although Qi Mu had decided to walk the path of struggling in the orchestra, he did not think it was time to tie himself to a specific orchestra forever.<\/p>\n
Even if it was the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.<\/p>\n
After switching to exchanging in English, Daniel and Tan Zheng Hui carried a pleasant conversation. After everyone had spoken some, Daniel seemed ready to leave. However, who would expect for Min Chen to suddenly lift his head and look at Qi Mu.<\/p>\n
Qi Mu\u2019s mind went blank, but he obediently listened as Min Chen opened his mouth to speak, \u201cYou. . .\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Auston, Daniel! Long time no see!\u201d Professor Karl, who had been speaking to some students at the side, suddenly shouted with a wave of his hand.<\/p>\n
Having been interrupted for the second time that night, Min Chen: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p>\n
Having breathed a sigh of relief, the face\/mascot\/Xiao Tian Shi\/Xiao<\/b> Qi: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
