Hearing that Duan Zilian agreed to his request, the principal smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Duan Zilian:

"The piano competition is jointly organized by the provincial Ministry of Education and various piano associations, mainly for high school students in the province, the specific competition time, this is a bit complicated, in short, the finals, probably in March, that is, the next semester just started not long after. At present, the major universities in the province have been notified. ”

"A provincial event?" Duan Zi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the piano competition that the principal said was actually provincial, and it seemed that it had to be taken seriously.

He knows his level, even compared with those famous pianists, it is not far behind, but a provincial piano competition should attract a lot of great people, and he must take it seriously.

What's more, although only high school students participate in this competition, there are many powerful high school students, especially the juniors of some pianists, which should not be underestimated.

"I've been worrying a lot lately about this competition, and I haven't been able to find the right person in our school. Fortunately, I saw your performance at the New Year's Day party that day, otherwise, if there was no suitable candidate, I would have wanted to give up that piano competition. Looking at Duan Zilian, the principal showed a very happy expression.

Duan Zilian: "......"

So, I just hit the headmaster's gun?

"This time, our school's old rival, No. 3 Middle School will also participate in that piano competition, they have always done a better job than our school in the cultivation of musical talents, you represent our school to participate in that piano competition, the main thing is not to let our school fall too far behind, can't let No. 3 Middle School and other schools laugh at our school for not even having a good candidate."

The principal added, with a serious look: "Although I don't know the piano, but I have been an old opponent for so many years, I still know the level of the third middle school, if you play well, I believe you can beat their school's trump card." ”

Duan Zilian: "......"

So, to put it mildly, asking me to participate in that piano competition is not for me to fight for the school and save face for the school at No. 3 Middle School......

"Well, I see, I'll do my best." After complaining silently in his heart for a while, Duan Zilian nodded.

To be honest, Duan Zilian didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but since he wanted to participate, he had to go all out.

Seeing the slight reluctance in Duan Zi's expression, the principal added: "Oh, I forgot to say, that piano competition is held according to the regional level, divided into three parts, district-level preliminary competition, municipal second competition, and provincial finals. The first is the preliminary round, which is a competition in our region. After the competition in the district, it is the second competition that rises to the municipal level, and finally the provincial finals. And for each competition, the first to third place will receive the corresponding prize money. ”

"In particular, the first place in the provincial finals can get a bonus of 300,000 yuan, the second place has 150,000 yuan, and the third place also has 80,000 yuan. I also know a little about Ms. Zhong, and I am very sorry that the school has lost such an excellent teacher as her. I think, for you, the prize money of this piano competition should be very tempting, right? ”

"The prize money is so high?" Duan Zilian was surprised, he didn't expect the prize money of that piano competition to be so rich, should it be said that it is worthy of a provincial competition?

The principal sighed: "There is no way, the current people are very material, if the prize money is not rich, it will not be able to attract those who are really capable to participate in this competition." ”

"......" Duan Zilian thought for a moment.

If there was some reluctance just now, then now, Duan Zilian can't wait to participate in that piano competition, no matter what, he must get the ranking of that piano competition!

It's best to be the first place!

I don't have to worry about money for the time being, but what if I suddenly need it?

Besides, to win the prize money back, it can be used to repay part of the debts owed by his family to Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling.

Noticing the change in Duan Zilian's expression, the principal pushed his glasses, smiled with satisfaction, and threw a bombshell again: "Also, if you can get a good ranking in that piano competition, even if it is the third place in the second municipal competition, I can get you a letter of recommendation from BGI, and I also have some connections at BGI." The minimum requirement is to finish third in the second competition at the municipal level and advance to the provincial finals, as long as you can do it, I can get this letter of recommendation for you. ”

BGI recommends!

Duan Zilian was surprised again, he didn't expect the principal to be able to prescribe this condition.

You must know that BGI is one of the top universities in China, and students who graduate from there will at least be much higher than others in terms of diplomas, and they will be better able to find good jobs than others.

The prize money of the piano competition was so rich, coupled with the conditions recommended by the principal, Duan Zilian was completely moved, no matter what, he agreed first.

If it doesn't feel right, it's good to run with you once, and you have nothing to lose anyway.

"Okay, since you agreed, then I'll help you go through the procedures for reinstatement and let you go back to school now." Seeing that Duan Zi agreed willingly, the principal was also very happy.

At this moment, Duan Zilian suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute, principal, I have a job outside, if I return to school......"

The principal knew Duan Zilian's concerns and smiled: "Don't worry, although you have returned to school, considering your particularity, I can approve that you will not use it for class, you just need to continue to do your own thing, and then prepare to participate in that piano competition." ”

"Really?" Duan Zilian's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to make sure.

"Of course, don't you believe what one of my principals said? It's okay to give you that little privilege. The principal said with a smile.

"That's good." Duan Zilian nodded happily.

Without further ado, the principal immediately went through the procedures for Duan Zilian to return to school.

After completing the procedures for returning to school, Duan Zilian successfully returned to school.

Immediately afterwards, the principal handed Duan Zilian a document: "This is the specific information of the piano competition, you can take a look." The top one is the registration form, the pen is here, you fill in your information. ”

"Hmm." Duan Zilian took the document handed over by the principal, first carefully read the specific information about the piano competition, and then learned the specific prize money of the three rounds of the competition.

This piano competition, whether it is the preliminary round at the district level, the second competition at the municipal level, or the final competition at the provincial level, there is a prize for each round of the competition.

The first to third places in the district-level preliminary round will be awarded 10,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan respectively. the second competition at the municipal level is 100,000 yuan, 60,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan; The bonuses for the provincial finals have just been mentioned by the principal, which are 300,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan and 80,000 yuan respectively.

Therefore, if Duan Zilian can win the first place in every round, he can get a total of 410,000 yuan in bonuses.

Looking at the prize money of the game, Duan Zilian's breathing became a little short.

As for the timing of the entire piano competition, Duan Zilian also has a specific understanding.

The school is about the end of January 28th, which is a Friday, and the district preliminary round is about two weeks before the school holiday, on January 16th, which happens to be a Sunday.

It's January 4th, so there's still 12 days left before the start of the preliminary round.

In the case of the second municipal competition, it was on the 30th at the end of January, which happened to be a Sunday, two weeks apart from the preliminary round.

Finally, the provincial finals, because February is the winter vacation and the Spring Festival is over, the finals are scheduled to be in early March, which is the time period when the school has just opened.

So, between the second round at the municipal level and the final at the provincial level, there was a whole month apart.

After carefully reading the specific information and various requirements of the entire piano competition, after confirming that there was no problem, Duan Zilian filled in the registration form.

looked at the registration form handed over by Duan Zilian, the principal used the computer on the desk to operate on the computer, and also registered online for Duan Zilian according to the information on the registration form.

Everything was ready, and the principal immediately let Duan Zilian leave.

After Duan Zilian left, the head teacher, who had been staying silent, came to the principal's side: "Principal, are you really going to make a BGI recommendation for Duan Zilian?" ”

The head teacher did not doubt the principal's ability, but he knew very well that one of the principal's brothers was a vice president of BGI.

The principal laughed twice: "I said that at least he can win the third place in the second municipal competition and advance to the provincial finals, and I will ask him for a recommendation." I admit that he does play the piano well, but it is not so easy to win the third place in the second competition at the municipal level and advance to the provincial finals. ”

"Headmaster, you're really bad." The head teacher laughed and scolded.

"Alright, don't stay with me, go back and rewrite your report!" The principal waved his hand and kicked the head teacher out of his office.

Standing in the corridor, looking at the Duan Zilian downstairs who was walking towards the school gate, the head teacher sighed helplessly.

The children who were fooled by the principal, did you think that the provincial competition would be so simple?

He and the principal both think that Duan Zilian does have a hand in playing the piano, but it is not easy to win the third place in the second competition at the municipal level and advance to the provincial finals.

But in fact, they don't know the true level of Duan Zilian.

They felt that Duan Zilian played the piano well, and they felt this way at the New Year's Day party, but at the New Year's Day party, Duan Zilian was basically playing casually, and he didn't show all his strength at all.

Therefore, Duan Zilian did not have the slightest doubt about whether he could achieve good results.

Riding a bicycle out of school, Duan Zilian went straight to the café, but there was still time, and it was still early before the afternoon time to work.

Idle and bored, Duan Zilian parked his bicycle outside the café, went to a random restaurant for lunch, and then walked around and walked around the café.
