I went out and called the old bartender, who told Qin Jian that he had just returned to the hotel.

Qin Jian thought about it and went back, just going to the toilet.

After returning to the hotel, Qin Jian solved the stomach problem, took a shower, and wanted to change his clothes, after all, the old bartender on the phone said that the cocktail party dinner in the evening was very formal, and as the gold medal winner of the Mozart Piano Competition, he felt that he should be decent.

But without any luggage, Qin Jian could only continue to go out in his rather tropical shorts and t-shirt.

After waiting in the hallway for a while, the old bartender came out of the next room.

"Rub!"

Qin Jian exclaimed, looking up and down at the well-dressed old bartender, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Changed out of the same tropical suit as Qin Jian, and the old bartender was dressed in black clothes, black pants and white lining at this time, a performer ready to go on stage.

The old bartender ignored Qin Jian's question, smiled slightly, and straightened his collar: "Let's go, Jian." “

In contrast, Qin Jian followed the old bartender like a handsome vendor selling roasted oysters on the streets of Oslo.

The strange duo got off the elevator and went to the dinner hall on the fifth floor of the hotel.

The clichéd words of glitter and opulence should be enough to describe this place, and if not enough, then add another one - big.

It's really big, Qin Jian thinks that this place can accommodate 500 people for dinner at the same time.

However, at this time, there seemed to be more waiters and waiters in the hall than there were guests.

At a glance, Qin Jian could easily distinguish which people were attending such a drinking party for the first time, and although they were well-dressed, the restraint of their expressions still revealed their nervousness at the moment.

Qin Jian is different, although he is not a frequent visitor to this kind of occasion, but at this time he is not restrained at all.

Taking a glass of orange water from the tray in the hands of the passing waiter, Qin Jian unceremoniously put aside the old bartender and swaggered to the food area.

The reception was still a buffet format.

As time passed, there were gradually more people in the hall, and Qin Jian's stomach became more and more bulging.

"Qin Jian!"

A familiar voice stopped Qin Jian, Qin Jian turned around with the tray, and then walked over with a smile.

It's an old acquaintance, and it's two.

Qin Jian didn't expect to meet Chi Heng's brother and sister here, and Chi Heng and Chi Heng hadn't seen each other since the Mozart Contest ended, not to mention Chi Rui, who almost didn't remember each other's names for a while just now.

"Long time no see, you two. ”

Qin Jian took the initiative to reach out and shake the brother and sister.

Chi Heng smiled: "I really didn't expect to meet you here, I thought where you should hide at this time to prepare for the Chopin Competition." “

Qin Jian hahaha: "I happened to be in Bergen recently, and I came over when I caught up, so I came to have a meal." ”

Chi Rui on the side burst out laughing when he heard Qin Jian's words: "How can anyone come here to eat! Are you some specially invited performance guest, huh?"

This seems to be a deliberate allusion to the small performance that used to be in Blossom Alley.

At that time, Qin Jian was playing the piano on the stage in the name of a fat man, and the two Chi Heng brothers and sisters who were passing by Nanshi happened to be offstage.

Qin Jian couldn't hear Chi Rui's words, but this time he really came to eat.

"Really, I didn't even receive an invitation from the organizers. ”

Seeing that Qin Jian said so sincerely, the brother and sister couldn't help it if they didn't believe it.

Qin Jian thought for a moment, looked at Chi Heng and asked, "You received the invitation, right?" ”

Chi Heng nodded and said with a modest smile: "Tomorrow morning's performance has my work, welcome to correct." “

Qin Jian nodded: "It must be." ”

The three of them chatted briefly for a while, and Qin Jian and Chi Heng left with their sister after leaving their contact information.

Before leaving, the three agreed to meet tomorrow morning.

Qin Jian saw that his stomach was almost eaten here, and he planned to go to the old bartender.

The rest of tonight depends on how his uncle arranges it.

Looking for the old bartender all the way, Qin Jian still didn't forget to pay attention everywhere to see if there was any trace of Duan Ran's father. Jiujiu Chinese

After looking around, Qin Jian was stunned that he didn't find the old bartender, he was thinking that he estimated where the other party was telling a story to the little girl, but when he turned his head, he saw that the other party was talking to a woman by the floor-to-ceiling window.

It can be seen that the two seem to be talking very speculatively.

But the woman was not a little girl at all, it should be an old woman to be exact, an old woman who could tell at a glance that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

At this moment, the old bartender's afterglow found Qin Jian.

"Wait a minute, Sabina, I'm going to introduce you to an interesting guy. ”

The old bartender raised his hand to Qin Jian as he spoke, signaling the other party to come over.

After Qin Jian approached, he found that this old woman was a little familiar, he was sure that he must have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember the time and place for a while.

"Jian, this is what I mentioned to you earlier, my best friend, Miss Alto Sabina, the current conductor of the Helsinki Symphony Orchestra. ”

The old bartender's expression was very formal, not at all like before... So lively?

Anyway, Qin Jian felt strange, especially the old bartender seemed to deliberately accentuate 'my best friend' in Chinese, and also used the word 'miss' to describe it.

The old bartender looked at Sabina again as he spoke, and introduced Qin Jian in English: "A young genius pianist from Huaguo, my good friend, Qin Jian. ”

Sabina replied: "Daniel, I heard him play in Moscow, and it was very impressive Rachmaninov No. 3. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Jian with a smile, flipped her wrist slightly, and then leaned the wine glass in her hand towards the other party.

Seeing this, Qin Jian raised his glass to meet the other party's wine glass.

According to Huaguo's wine table culture, he lowered his wrist and touched the other party's cup with the mouth of his own cup.

There was a soft 'bang'.

"Hello, Conductor Sabina, it's an honor to meet you. “

Two simple sentences of English Qin Jian are still fine.

Then, after the old bartender revealed the secret, Qin Jian learned that he had met the other party as early as Moscow.

No wonder it's familiar.

Old bartender: "Sabina says your Rachmaninov is wonderful, and she hopes to have the opportunity to work with you." ”

Hearing this, Qin Jian returned to the other party again, "Thank you for your appreciation, that's my honor." ”

It can be regarded as making friends with a big guy again, Qin Jian was about to slip away under the old bartender's eyes, but just as he was about to leave, another figure slowly walked over.

A very unhandsome figure.

This person, Qin Jian, really knows - the Finnish national treasure pianist - Grisbeck.

Griesbeck is as short as in the CD video, and even as a musician, he has a bit of a comedy component.

Kind of like a low-profile version of Mr. Bean.

Grisbeck's arrival made Qin Jian dispel the idea of leaving now, and it was obvious that it would be rude for him to leave now.

Judging from the current atmosphere, the four people present have left themselves, and the remaining three old guys know each other.

As soon as Grisbeck came up, he muttered 'Oh, Daniel' and hugged the old bartender, who seemed to be kind and said "Oh, Son, you need to watch your body." ”

This scene of two people hugging each other is funny enough, and it looks like two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

But the next scene is the turning point of the picture, after the two let go, Chris Baker put his backhand on the female conductor's waist, didn't know what to say in his mouth, and then tiptoed to kiss the female conductor's face.

It's a bit like a declaration of sovereignty.

Sabina laughed "oh", then the old bartender, and finally Chris Baker himself.

All three laughed, and it was subtle.

With that kiss just now, Qin Jian noticed the old bartender's reaction.

The old bartender nodded calmly, as if I didn't care at all.

Qin Jian: ?

Combined with all the unusual behavior of the old bartender today, he came to a conclusion -

There's a melon here.
