Chapter 520: I Didn't Expect It
In July, summer vacation arrived.
There is still more than half a month left before Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng's cousins participate in the international piano competition.
Taking advantage of the time to practice, the two of them have been closed for the past few days, only practicing hard.
At their level of piano performance, even the piano teacher can't help and guide them.
But fortunately, Xiaobai has connections and invited a piano master for her daughter for a short period of guidance.
In the two days when the piano master came, Junjun also came to take lessons thanks to his cousin.
For Lan Juncheng's talent to play the piano, he was once again affirmed by the piano master.
And when Gu Qingning heard the words of the piano master, she also had a clear understanding of her own ability.
It seems that in this international piano competition, there is a high probability that he will not be able to compare with his cousin.
So her goal was moved away from the first place in the junior category, and for the second, she was bound to win!
…
Half a month later, Lan Shu and Xiaobai flew abroad with their daughter and son, as well as their nephew Lan Juncheng.
It is not the first time that Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng have participated in the international piano competition, this time Lan Dazhuang can't leave because of something, and Tang Chu is also very relieved that his son and sister-in-law's family are going out, so neither husband nor wife came.
Fortunately, Junjun is almost an adult, so he really doesn't need his parents to follow.
The plane flew for more than ten hours to reach its destination, and the five people stayed in the hotel arranged by the organizers, after which they waited for the competition to start.
This time Lan Shu's family came to Seine City, and Mark didn't miss the reception.
Mark is forty-three years old this year, and in addition to being a middle-level leader of the machinery company, he has also held a part-time position on Lan Shu's side in recent years, as a consultant for the export business of the garment department of Lan Gu Group.
This job doesn't take much time for Mark, he mainly plays a supervisory role, and Lan Shu handed over this matter to Mark, and she was very relieved.
Mark, who has two jobs, has also made a leap forward in financial resources, so Mark got his wish to marry a white female star abroad as his wife last year, and now he lives happily.
When Mark came to see Lan Shu's family this time, he brought his wife with him.
Lan Shu doesn't know much about foreign female stars, but she also thinks that Mark's wife is indeed very beautiful.
The two families dined at a high-end restaurant, and Junjun originally wanted to stay alone in the hotel, but was pulled over by Lan Shu and Gu Qingning to eat together.
The next day, the International Piano Competition was held as scheduled.
This time, Mark was not busy with work, and he also brought his wife to watch the game.
Although the two are not family members of the contestants, with Mark's ability, it is not difficult to get two tickets for the competition.
It's just that the two of them sit in the back seat.
At the beginning of the game, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng, as the expected champions of the junior group, appeared later in the order of the two as the finale.
As the two of them thought before they came, although there were many contestants with good piano skills in the junior group, they were still not as good as the two of them.
Especially Lan Juncheng, the songs played by talented contestants can impress the audience very much, and this level can even compete with the contestants in the youth group who go up!
And Gu Qingning is not bad, she is quite diligent on the road of learning piano.
So after the two performed on stage, before even the halftime when the results of the game were announced, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng had already received invitations from famous foreign conservatories, saying that they could enter the academy for further study in advance.
Gu Qingning is seventeen years old this year and is in his third year of high school, while Lan Juncheng is not yet seventeen years old and is only a sophomore in high school.
Now there is an opportunity for them to enter the university directly without the college entrance examination, and everyone will inevitably think about it.
Lan Juncheng really likes to play the piano, and he has even thought about taking the road of music in the future.
Although Gu Qingning also likes to play the piano, her clear goal is to be a successful woman like her mother.
No matter how much she likes to play the piano, she will not only play the piano in the future.
The piano is a hobby for her, but it is not her future.
So after a little thought, the two of them had already made a decision.
Lan Juncheng wants to enter a foreign conservatory of music in advance, but he still has to go back to ask for his parents' consent for this matter.
Lan Shu and Xiaobai heard Junjun's idea, and helped Junjun leave contact information with the Conservatory of Music, waiting for the results of the Lan family's discussion, and then deciding whether Junjun wanted to go abroad in advance.
In the afternoon, all the participants of the Children's Group, Youth Group and Youth Group of the International Piano Competition finished their performances, and the top three rankings of the final three groups were also announced.
Unexpectedly, Lan Juncheng won the second place in the junior group, and it was Gu Qingning who won the first place!
The statement given by the judges is that the piano performance level of the two is comparable, but Gu Qingning's expressiveness is stronger and the typhoon is more stable.
Indeed, Lan Juncheng was a little nervous when he first came to power.
Gu Qingning, on the other hand, is extremely calm, as if this stage is her back garden, confident and calm.
For this result, Gu Qingning didn't expect it.
But she was happy from the bottom of her heart to be the first place.
And she knew that this gold medal was probably her last gold medal at the International Piano Competition.
Because of the competition in the youth group, Junjun will definitely surpass her.
At that time, she will not be more focused on playing the piano.
It's okay now, in the last time she can fight for her hobby, a gold award can be regarded as a perfect end to her efforts.
At the moment when Gu Qingning came to the stage to accept the award, Xiaobai did not forget to hold the camera and take a photo of his daughter.
…
This summer, when Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng went abroad to compete and won the prize.
In Kyoto, Meng Dabao's work at the factory had to come to an end.
At the beginning, Meng Dabao was able to work in the factory because Meng Heng found a relationship and sent his son in.
Now that the factory is not only on the list of layoffs, but Meng Dabao, a fool recognized in the factory, is undoubtedly on the list of layoffs.
In this situation, even if Meng Heng found a relationship, it would be useless.
The person he was looking for at the beginning is now at the age of retirement in the factory, and he can't say anything in front of the factory leaders.
Therefore, after Meng Dabao finished this month, he will directly enter the unemployed group next month.
The occurrence of this incident was something that Meng Dabao had never imagined.
Since he entered the factory to work, he felt that he was going to retire like this in his life, but who knew that layoffs would happen halfway!
Meng Dabao is just a small worker in the factory, and even if he doesn't want to leave the factory, there is no way to reverse the situation.
So after finishing this month's work and getting the month's salary, Meng Dabao lost his job-
After Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng finished competing abroad and came back from playing abroad for a few days, they wanted to tell their friends about the first and second prizes they won in the competition, but they learned that Meng Dabao had no job.
Thanks to the running mushrooms for rewarding 1666 coins.
