In the room, the woman looked at Duan Zilian suspiciously, and saw that Duan Zilian showed a slightly nervous look on her face, and then she spoke,

There were no polite words, and the woman said bluntly: "It's a surprise to me that someone of your age came to apply for a pianist, but let me explain in advance, I don't look at such things as certificates, and I myself have studied some pianos, so I look at the real thing, understand?" ”

In her opinion, when a young person like Duan Zilian came to apply for a pianist, he either had real talent and learning, or he was so-so and came to have fun.

"Yes." Duan Zilian nodded.

"So what level of certificate do you have?" The woman asked.

"Level ten." Duan Zilian replied, a little confused about this woman's thoughts.

Didn't you say that you don't look at such a thing as a certificate? Why did you just finish talking and ask me what level of certificate it is?

"Huh?" The woman was a little surprised and stunned for a moment.

"Here's my certificate." Duan Zilian took out the grade 10 piano certificate he had obtained a few years ago from his backpack and handed it to the woman in front of him.

After receiving Duan Zilian's certificate, the woman looked at it, and then looked at Duan Zilian with some surprise, at a young age, she could get the piano grade 10 certificate, although it was not nothing, but it was rare.

Maybe you've been learning piano since you were a child, right?

The woman thought so in her heart, returned the certificate to Duan Zilian, and then said: "The certificate is nothing, there is a piano outside, you go and play it." ”

With that, the woman stood up and led Duan Zilian to the hall outside, and sat down in front of a piano in the corner.

The guests in the hall, including the three waitresses, also looked at the new young pianist.

"What am I going to play?" Duan Zilian turned his head to look at the woman beside him, because he knew too many piano songs, so he had difficulty choosing and didn't know what to play.

"It's harder." The woman said something a little carelessly, and suddenly regretted it in her heart.

This person didn't even have the music he wanted to play, so he wouldn't have touched the piano for a long time after the research, right?

There are many acquaintances in the store, if he doesn't know what to play, he will play a song "Two Tigers", and his face will be lost!

Duan Zilian didn't know the woman's inner thoughts, since she said that she wanted to play a little harder, then do as she said.

After sifting through the difficult pieces in his mind, Duan Zilian muttered for a while, and then began to press the first note on the keys with both hands.

Suddenly, the slender ten fingers danced on the black and white keys, and one by one the notes jumped out of the keys, forming a beautiful and beautiful melody, but it seemed to have some strange melodies, echoing in the hall.

Listening to the melody played by Duan Zilian, the worries in the woman's heart immediately disappeared, and she nodded secretly.

This string of melodies has proven the strength of Duan Zilian.

By the way, which tune is this?

The woman listened to the melody and thought for a moment, and suddenly a shocked expression appeared on her face.

This is ...... "Ghost Fire"!?

Women who have learned some piano naturally know the origin of the piece "Ghost Fire", which is one of Liszt's supertechnical etudes, with a difficult two-tone technique, if you want to play this piece well, not to mention the tricky technique, you must also play it lightly and interestingly in order to convince people.

As a result, few pianists dare to challenge this piece.

The women never imagined that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy would actually play the song "Ghost Fire".

Moreover, she took a look at Duan Zilian and saw that when Duan Zilian played this "tune", it was smooth and natural, without any mistakes, which made the melody played both light and interesting, but also revealed a bit weird, completely expressing the soul of this song.

There weren't many guests in the hall, and one or two people who knew how to do it were a little stunned like the women, but many more guests just felt good, including the three waitresses.

More than four minutes later, after playing the song, Duan Zilian put down his hand, a little dissatisfied.

I haven't practiced this piece for too long, and some of the movements are a little stiff, so that when I played it, I almost made a mistake.

However, there is one thing to say, Duan Zilian thinks that this piano is very good, at least the timbre is better than his own home, but it is no wonder that the piano at home has been around for some years, the equipment is aging, and the timbre is naturally not as good as before.

Turning his head, Duan Zilian wanted to ask the woman if she wanted to continue playing, but saw that the woman had hurried to her and stared at her, looking very excited.

The fragrance came to his face, and Duan Zilian immediately distanced himself from the woman without a trace, and for the woman's gaze, he suddenly had a feeling of being targeted by a fierce tiger and hungry wolf.

"Please stay at my coffee shop!" As soon as Duan Zilian wanted to ask what was wrong, the woman said such a sentence to Duan Zilian very seriously, and her eyes were very sincere.

Through the error-free "Ghost Fire", women already know the strength of Duan Zilian, who can play such a difficult tune at this age, such a person is not even an exaggeration to say that he is a genius!

Seeing that he had been hired, Duan Zilian was very happy, but he felt a little awkward about the scene of a woman who was like a marriage proposal.

Immediately afterwards, Duan Zilian and the woman came to the room just now and discussed the issue of salary.

"It seems that Aunt Qiao, that person is going to be a pianist with us."

"He looks like he's smaller than us, doesn't he? I can play the piano, which is very good. ”

"Do you know the piano?"

"I don't understand, but he plays very well, and I think he's very good. And ah, I think the boy who can play music is very temperamental, don't you think he is very handsome when he plays the piano? ”

"It's okay, what, you're tempted?"

"How is it possible, I just think he is very handsome and temperamental when he plays the piano. Besides, I'm not a big fan of boys younger than me. ”

"However, one thing to say, that man does play the piano very well, and you have not, his fingers are very long and beautiful."

……

Seeing that Duan Zilian was taken by the woman to a lounge in the café, the three waitresses who were idle got together to chat, and then chatted and chatted, and talked about the recent rumors of an unknown monster attacking a human being.

In a lounge in the café, the woman said to Duan Zilian: "My name is Qin Qiaoyun, and I am the owner of this café, you can just call me Aunt Qiao." ”

Duan Zilian also immediately introduced herself: "Okay, Aunt Qiao, my name is Duan Zilian, 17 years old, and I am still in high school." ”

Qin Qiaoyun nodded, she had guessed before that Duan Zilian looked so young and might still be in high school, so there was nothing surprising, but ......

"It's Friday, it's not school day yet, why didn't you come to school and come to me to apply for a pianist?" Qin Qiaoyun looked at Duan Zilian suspiciously.

"Because of the appearance of huge monsters and giants a few days ago, many people were hurt, my mother is one of them, she is still in the hospital, I can only go through the procedures for suspension, find a job to make money, to pay my mother's hospitalization fees, treatment fees and so on." Duan Zilian briefly talked about his situation.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." accidentally talked about Duan Zilian's sadness, and Qin Qiaoyun immediately apologized to Duan Zilian.

Duan Zilian shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Qin Qiaoyun looked at Duan Zilian, he only mentioned his mother just now, and did not mention his father, indicating that his father might not be by his side......

When such a thing happened, the only relatives all fell, and Qin Qiaoyun couldn't imagine how Duan Zilian could bear all this.

Looking at Duan Zilian's calm face, Qin Qiaoyun sighed in her heart.

What a strong kid......

After understanding Duan Zilian's situation a little, Qin Qiaoyun continued: "Since you are on leave of absence, then before you go back to school, you can come to me to be a pianist." Monday to Saturday, the working hours are from 9 to 11 in the morning, 2 to 5 in the afternoon, and 7 to 10 in the evening, a total of eight hours, and Sundays are off, no problem, right? ”

"Yes, the salary issue ......," Duan Zilian asked the core question.

"This ...... You also know that I'm just a small café, so the salary is definitely not as good as those big cafes......" Qin Qiaoyun said with some embarrassment.

Nodding, Duan Zilian expressed his understanding, and lowered the price of four thousand a month in his heart to three thousand.

At this time, Qin Qiaoyun said the price: "So, what do you think of the salary of seven thousand a month?" ”

"How much?" Duan Zilian was taken aback and was stunned directly.

"Seven thousand is a bit low, but this is only temporary, with you, I can raise the style of the coffee shop, those petty bourgeois money is easy to cheat, so that I can raise your salary if you make more money." Qin Qiaoyun thought that Duan Zilian was not satisfied, so he talked about the future vision with Duan Zilian.

Duan Zilian was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "That, it's not that I think the salary is low, it's just ...... Didn't your job posting outside say that the salary was negotiable about 3,000 to 5,000? How did it go up so much? ”

Listening to Duan Zilian's words, Qin Qiaoyun was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you know what your current piano level means?" ”

"Uh...... What does this mean? Duan Zilian scratched his head in embarrassment, to be honest, he really didn't know much about this issue.

Looking at Duan Zilian a little speechlessly, Qin Qiaoyun thought for a moment and explained, "How do you say it?" All I can tell you is that if you go to one of those fancy cafes and bars to apply for a pianist and let them know your piano skills, the salary may even be more than 8,000. Of course, the same goes for high-end bars, and there are some bars that also hire pianists. You must know that the song "Ghost Fire" is not something that anyone can play, and even if it can be played, it is not so easy to play it well. ”
