Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 156 Pre-Competition Dinner (I)
After waiting in front of the Sega Hotel for about half an hour, Duan Zilian finally waited for the principal.
After parking the car in the parking space, the principal got out of the car, saw Duan Zilian, and smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I didn't expect you to come so quickly." ”
Seeing that the principal came alone, Duan Zilian was a little puzzled: "Principal, are you the only one who comes?" ”
The principal nodded: "Yes, it's just me, there's no way, the number of places is limited, and the organizer only gave me a place this time." Okay, without further ado, let's go in first, I booked the room in advance. ”
After speaking, the principal patted Duan Zilian on the shoulder and led Duan Zilian into the Sega Hotel in front of him.
"Are we staying here just for the night?" Duan Zilian asked.
"Yes, if you live here, the evening banquet is also held here, so it is more convenient." The principal replied and went to the front desk to find a waiter to check in.
Taking advantage of this time, Duan Zilian looked at the decoration and layout of the lobby of this Sega Hotel, which looked quite luxurious, and even had small rockeries and rockeries to decorate, which was worthy of its name as a big hotel.
After a while, the principal checked in, took the elevator with Duan Zilian, and went up to the twelfth floor.
Coming to a room, the principal handed Duan Zilian a room card: "I opened two single rooms, this is your room, and I live next door to you." If you have anything, just send a message and call, or just knock on my door. If you have something to do, remember to tell me, or if you get lost, I'll be in big trouble. ”
"Hmm." Duan Zilian nodded, he didn't expect the principal to open two single rooms, and originally thought that he would open a double room now.
However, if you live alone, you can feel more comfortable, otherwise you will feel a little uncomfortable living in the same room as the principal.
Holding the room card, Duan Zilian opened the door in front of him, entered the room, and looked at the layout of this room, whether it is the layout or decoration, it is very good, worthy of a big hotel.
After thinking about it, Duan Zilian took a few photos with her mobile phone, posted the photos to the class group, and added a message.
"Duan Zilian: Tonight's accommodation."
No one immediately replied to the message, Duan Zilian put down his mobile phone and saw that there was an air conditioner installed in the room, so he shouldn't have to worry about catching a cold when he slept at night.
casually put the backpack on the chair, Duan Zilian turned on the air conditioner with the remote control, and after the temperature in the room rose to a controlled 23 degrees, he felt the heat, so he took off the cotton jacket outside.
Holding the remote control, Duan Zilian sat on the edge of the bed, turned on the TV, and then found out that this was actually an online TV, which can watch movies, TV series, anime or something online.
was bored and didn't know what to do, so Duan Zilian planned to watch a movie, and after screening for a while, he clicked on a foreign science fiction movie.
At the same time, Duan Zilian took out his mobile phone and saw that many people in the group had already replied to the message, all asking him if he lived in a hotel and why he wanted to stay in a hotel.
Holding the mobile phone, Duan Zilian typed on the mobile phone and explained the reason why he would stay in the hotel.
Suddenly, many people in the class group learned that Duan Zilian participated in tonight's banquet, could eat and drink for nothing, and could live in a luxury hotel, so they expressed their envy.
At the same time, there are also many people who wish Duan Zilian a good result in tomorrow's competition.
casually chatted with the classmates in the class group, and saw that the movie was over, and the content of the film officially began, so he put down his mobile phone and started watching the movie.
However, just a few minutes into the movie, there was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time, the headmaster's voice came from outside the door.
After pausing the movie, Duan Zilian went to open the door and looked at the principal outside the door suspiciously: "Principal, is there something wrong?" ”
The principal handed Duan Zilian two suits: "At tonight's banquet, you wear one of the suits." ”
"Huh? Do you want to wear a suit? Duan Zi was stunned for a moment.
The principal said righteously: "This is a formal banquet, and you must wear a suit. Besides, you represent our school now, and you can't be so casual, otherwise, the school will also lose face. ”
"Okay then." Duan Zi replied with pity, taking the two suits handed over by the principal.
"You change into one of your suits in advance, and at half past six, I'll call you and take you to the banquet."
"Hmm."
Seeing the principal enter the room next to him, Duan Zilian immediately closed the door, casually put the suit on the table, and looked at the time, it was almost half past five, and there was still an hour to go.
Obviously, Duan Zilian can't watch this one-and-a-half-hour movie at one time.
"Forget it." Duan Zipian didn't care so much, sat on the edge of the bed, continued to watch the movie, and returned to the class group from time to time, or the messages sent by other people to him.
At six o'clock, Duan Zilian stopped the movie, took a suit casually, and went to the bathroom to change in.
The suit fits perfectly, because it is specially made.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Duan Zi took pity on the bangs on his forehead, nodded with satisfaction, and tied his tie.
At half past six in the evening, the principal knocked on the door, and Duan Zilian walked out of the room, and with the principal, came to the tenth floor of the hotel, because the dinner was held here.
At this time, the decoration of the banquet hall has been prepared, soothing music, soft lighting, suitable temperature, exquisite drinks and food, and the gorgeous configuration, from these aspects, it is completely clear that the organizers of the event are holding the dinner with great care.
Although there was still half an hour before the official start of the dinner, there were already many participating students walking back and forth in the banquet hall accompanied by their parents or school leaders, many of them were able to skillfully hold a glass of juice and chat with each other, but a few of them seemed a little overwhelmed.
Duan Zilian looked around, all the participating students were teenagers and girls of the same age, the boys were all wearing decent suits, and the girls were all wearing clothes suitable for the dinner.
"Is this the first time you've attended a banquet like this?" The headmaster asked Duan Zilian.
"Hmm." Duan Zilian nodded.
"It's no big deal, relax, this kind of activity is very casual, you just think it's here to play, you can meet a few like-minded friends, it's the best, of course, if you don't want to, you should eat and drink, and then go to the corner in a daze, and wait for the dinner to end." The headmaster said in a half-joking tone.
Then, the principal took Duan Zilian around the dinner hall, and asked Duan Zilian to take some of his favorite food and drinks, so as not to go hungry.
Since this dinner is mainly for all participating students, there is no alcohol at the dinner, and it is all a variety of drinks.
In addition, although the dinner was mainly for the participating students, the accompanying parents and leading teachers were also chatting in twos and threes.
Duan Zilian understood the purpose of the organizer holding this dinner, just as he told the principal, the biggest role of this kind of dinner is to expand the social circle, make more friends in the circle, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, if you have acquaintances, you will be able to do things easily.
In addition, those accompanying parents and leading teachers, when talking, will inevitably rise to compare their children or students, how good they are, so as to satisfy their vanity.
But anyway, overall, the atmosphere of the dinner hall is quite good.
Duan Zipian looked at the people and things around him idly, and wondered if other cities in the province had also held such a dinner.
Near seven o'clock when the dinner officially began, there were participating students one after another, most of them were accompanied by their parents or leading teachers.
At seven o'clock, the dinner officially began.
One of the organizers of the dinner took the microphone and gave a speech on a makeshift stage, which was nothing more than some opening remarks, followed by meaningless nonsense, and then ended the speech.
The audience burst into applause.
In the crowd, Duan Zilian symbolically applauded a few times, and then looked around, there were people everywhere, and roughly estimated that there were about thirty or forty students participating here, and then plus the accompanying parents and leading teachers, it seemed that there were a lot of people.
Fortunately, the space on the entire tenth floor of the hotel is large enough, and after the crowd disperses, it seems that it is not crowded, otherwise, it is densely packed together, just looking at it, Duan Zilian feels a little uncomfortable.
After the applause ended, people continued to eat and drink, gathered together in twos and threes to chat, even if they didn't know each other, they would find a topic to talk to, and then chatted and chatted, and they got to know each other.
Duan Zilian continued to follow the principal around, and then, they ran into the principal of the third middle school and Feng Hui.
As bad friends, the two principals began to tease each other, but most of them were Duan Zilian's principals who had the upper hand, because Duan Zilian won the championship in the district-level preliminary round, and Feng Hui of the third middle school was only the second place, which made Duan Zilian's principal very confident and high-spirited, which made the principal of the third middle school twitch slightly.
And when the two principals teased each other, Duan Zilian and Feng Hui also said hello to each other, and then stopped talking, after all, they didn't know each other very well, and they didn't know what to say.
Then, the two principals wanted to chat alone, so they asked Duan Zilian and Feng Hui to chat elsewhere together.
The two principals left, and Feng Hui looked at Duan Zilian opposite him with some confusion, looking at his nose and nose, and still feeling embarrassed about the last time he looked down on Duan Zilian in the preliminary round.
