This game, from the very beginning, was a vertical game. Berezovsky's fluttering words fell into Liu Yufan's ears, but they were no less than a thunderclap!

He was so surprised that he almost knocked over the cup of draught beer he had just served.

Without concealing the surprise on his face, Liu Yufan stared at Berezovsky's face and asked a little out of control: "What?" Control? ”

"Hehe, take it easy, young man, don't get too excited." Looking at Liu Yufan's reaction, Berezovsky seemed to have expected it, and comforted him with a smile.

The waiter not far away noticed the situation here, hurriedly walked over, politely helped Liu Yufan clean up the wine stains on the table, and politely asked the two of them what help they needed.

The waiter who came over made Liu Yufan come back from his surprise, and then he realized that he had lost his temper. He smiled and nodded politely at the waiter, saying sorry to hide his embarrassment.

However, in this way, the waiter noticed Liu Yufan, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"You~~ You are the Chinese player who participated in the Liszt Cup!" The waiter, who looked to be less than thirty years old, looked at Liu Yufan and asked with an uncertain expression, but obviously the expression on his face was very excited.

Liu Yufan didn't expect to meet someone who knew him in a bar, so he nodded subconsciously and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm the Chinese player." Because of the language barrier, Berezovsky spontaneously acted as an interpreter for the two people, and there was no trace of impatience on his face.

"Is it really you? I really like the "Overture to the Dead" that you played at the end, I also studied piano when I was young, but I didn't learn it for a long time, and I didn't play it well. I've been watching the game on TV for the past two days, and your last "Overture to the Dead" is just amazing! Oh. IMHO. The judges were really dizzy, and if you want me to say, you should be the champion. The waiter saw Liu Yufan. Obviously very excited, and kept talking.

Hearing his words, Liu Yufan was obviously a little embarrassed. It's not much for this guy to boast about himself. The key is to scold all the judges, don't forget, there is a judge sitting in front of you. It seems that this waiter must not know Berezovsky, otherwise he would not have spoken like this.

"Hehe, you're so polite. The judges are still fair and I'm sure they have their reasons. Liu Yufan explained with a smile. Anyway, you can't really climb this guy's pole, you should be humble or humble. Even if this guy is saying what he says from his heart.

"Anyway, I think you play the best, right. Can you sign me? The waiter asked expectantly.

"Signature? Of course. But I'm ~~ here without a pen. Liu Yufan was a little embarrassed. At the end of the day, he doesn't have the mentality of a big-name star. This kind of situation has rarely been encountered in China before, and he naturally won't bring 13 artifacts like a signature pen.

"Oh, it's okay, I've got it here." As he spoke, the waiter hurriedly took out a pen and handed it over. In their line of work, they often encounter the situation of guests signing orders, and this money is naturally to be carried with them.

"Yo, it's still a Parker pen." Liu Yufan took the pen handed over by the waiter, praised it, then unscrewed the cap of the pen, and neatly signed his name on the notebook handed by the waiter.

"Thank you!" After receiving Liu Yufan's signature, the waiter bowed gratefully to Liu Yufan, and then retreated contentedly.

"The handwriting is good!" Watching the waiter leave, Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan with a little approval and praised it. …,

"You also know Chinese calligraphy?" Looking at this Russian in his forties, Liu Yufan felt that he was becoming more and more unable to see through him.

"Hehe, a little research. Chinese culture is vast and profound, and I am personally fascinated by it. Well, it's nice to have fans. Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan's somewhat excited expression and joked with a smile.

"Hehe, it's a little." Liu Yufan was seen through by Berezovsky, but he didn't feel embarrassed. Thinking of what Berezovsky said to himself just now, Liu Yufan immediately continued to ask. This little episode did not divert his attention.

"Mr. Berezovsky, what do you mean by manipulating the game? I still don't quite understand. Liu Yufan looked at Berezovsky and asked with some eagerness. At the same time, in his heart, he also vaguely seemed to feel a little truth.

"Actually, it's nothing, you know DG Records, they are the biggest sponsor of this Liszt Cup Piano Competition, and they also ask the organizing committee that their company's contestants must win the first place. Today's final, you also saw it, that Valodos, is DG Records. In all fairness, if it weren't for that, I think today's champion would be yours. After Berezovsky said this, he looked at Liu Yufan with a smile, as if expecting his reaction.

"DG Records? Valodos? Manipulate the game? Although Berezovsky's words were not long, the amount of information was extremely large, and Liu Yufan couldn't react for a while. Or rather, he understood what Berezovsky meant, but for a moment could not accept such a fact!

The Liszt Cup International Piano Competition, the top international piano competition, gathers the world's most outstanding young pianists and attracts the attention of music fans around the world. Such a game can be manipulated? Such a fact makes Liu Yufan feel ridiculous!

But Liu Yufan is also very human after all, and soon, he came back to his senses from the news that surprised him. Taking a breath and calming down, a mocking smile appeared on his face, and he whispered, "I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

"Why, aren't you disappointed?" Looking at Liu Yufan's expression, Berezovsky smiled and continued to ask.

"It's a little, but not quite." Liu Yufan took a sip of beer and said.

"Oh, how do you say?" Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan, and the interest in his eyes became even stronger.

"Mr. Berezovsky, you are not looking for me just to tell me such a fact." Liu Yufan did not answer Berezovsky's question, but threw back a question.

"Hehe, what, lost the championship, aren't you disappointed and angry at all?" Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan and asked with a smile.

"Disappointed? No, not at all, since it's already happened, it's useless to talk about it, besides, it's just a champion, and it doesn't really matter if you don't get it. Liu Yufan said with a smile, then looked at Berezovsky again and said: "It's you, Mr. Berezovsky, tell me such an important secret to a contestant, aren't you afraid that I will leak this news?" When the time comes, the reputation of the Liszt Cup, including a few of your judges, will be in jeopardy. ”

Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Berezovsky was slightly stunned, and then laughed!

"Haha, interesting, interesting! Very interesting young man indeed! Berezovsky said with a laugh. It wasn't until the laughter died down that he looked at Liu Yufan and said slowly: "You may be able to try to spread the news, but I can assure you that no one will believe your words." You don't know DG yet, you don't know what kind of company they are, it's more powerful than you think. ”…,

Berezovsky said this, paused, looked at Liu Yufan, and continued: "Besides, even if people believe your words, other judges may care about this matter very much, but not me, hehe." ”

Looking at Berezovsky's indifferent look, Liu Yufan remembered the identity of the other party. Well, people are just playing tickets. In Russia's business and political circles, Berezovsky has a strong force, maybe others will care about this, how can he care?

Thinking of this, Liu Yufan couldn't help but envy him a little. Compared with those who are professionally engaged in music, this kind of ticket play is really chic!

But at this moment, Liu Yufan didn't answer Berezovsky's words again, he was waiting, waiting for the other party to continue. He knew that a person like Berezovsky would never call himself here for no reason, just to tell himself such a dark insider. He was waiting, waiting for Berezovsky to tell his true purpose.

Looking at Liu Yufan's reaction, Berezovsky's eyes were a little more appreciative. So far, he has seen all the performances of this young man, and it can be said that he is quite satisfied.

"Hehe, Yufan, don't mind if I call you that. I have an offer, I don't know if you're interested? Looking at Liu Yufan, Berezovsky asked with a smile.

"The meat show is coming." Liu Yufan perked up and knew that it was time to get to the point.

"Hehe, what proposal? Tell me about it? Liu Yufan looked at Berezovsky, his eyes showing deep interest.

"Yufan, China is a huge market. According to my research, there are now more than 8 million piano children in China, but there is a lack of an effective and formal training institution to provide them with high-quality piano teaching. I know you also have an entertainment company in the country, and you've worked in this area before. I thought, how about we work together to set up a chain of art training centers in China? Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan and asked with a smile...... ）
