Chapter 111: Ordering the Piano
But speechless is speechless, Su Yuli still remembers the business more.
She looked in the direction where Luo Ming and John's mother and son had left, and asked worriedly, "Can they solve this problem?" ”
Jiang Xu looked at Su Yuli, where was the gloomy and dangerous momentum in his eyes when he threatened that drunk, all of which were soft backgrounds.
"This problem is actually very easy to solve, according to the law of this country, after the divorce of the husband and wife, the woman can get half of the man's income every month, and if necessary, she can also apply to the police for protection, prohibiting the man from approaching the woman. It's just that neither of them has this common sense, and if she is willing to go through the legal route, Luo Ming can provide legal assistance. ”
In fact, no matter where you are, many tragedies and dilemmas are due to a narrow vision, and because you don't know that there is a solution, you can only be trapped in it and suffer.
Su Yuli was a little surprised, "How do you know this?" ”
"Luo Ming knows that he specializes in this aspect, and he is the head of the legal department of the Jiang Group."
It was rare for Su Yuli to say so much to him, Jiang Xu's expression was a little gentle, he was already good-looking, and under the snowy scene, he looked more and more like a warm and beautiful young man.
"Oh......"
Su Yuli's eyes flashed, and she looked elsewhere.
Jiang Xu glanced at the sky, now that the sky was dark, most of the shops around had closed, and the shops here were basically closed after five o'clock.
"Where did you want to go?"
Su Yuli frowned and looked around, and also found out about this situation, after all, Jiang Xu did her a favor just now, and it was not good to shake her face at this time.
"I wanted to go to a shop to see the piano. But now it's probably closed. ”
"Why don't I send you back first, and then I'll see you tomorrow?"
Receiving Su Yuli's unkind eyes, Jiang Xu also knew that it was almost over, he couldn't dwell on it anymore, otherwise the little girl would be disgusted.
"On my plane tonight, I will leave Luo Ming here to help the mother and son deal with the follow-up issues."
Su Yuli's expression really calmed down, which at least means that he won't pester her after tomorrow.
However, for Jiang Xu's abnormal behavior, she had to ask Shiya overnight tonight how to deal with this situation.
Jiang Xu sent Su Yuli to his residence on foot, he wanted to help Su Yuli get the violin, but Su Yuli refused.
Walking to a place a block away from the hotel, I met Kaye who came out to meet them because he was worried about Su Yuli.
Kaye glanced at Jiang Xu strangely and amazedly, and then turned her gaze back to Su Yuli with concern, she found that Su Yuli's high-grade velvet case had turned into a tattered black plastic case, and asked in surprise.
"Oh my God, how did your piano become like this, it looks tattered."
Su Yuli took off the violin on her back indifferently and took a look, "I changed with a street performer kid on the road, and he lacked a good piano. ”
Kaye nodded hesitantly, Su Yuli is a very kind girl, and she can feel this after living with Su Yuli in Tracy's house for so long.
However, if she changed it, she didn't understand why Su Yuli had carried this broken piano back, and she wouldn't use it to play.
"Then after you exchanged, wouldn't it be better to just throw this broken piano away, and what are you going to do with it back?"
Wouldn't you want to take it back to Tracy's villa? Tracy should scream at the sight of such a broken piano.
"I have a friend who makes songs in China, and he seems to like this kind of instrument that makes a stabbing sound, so I'm going to give it to him and ask him if he can use it."
The air was quiet for a second.
Jiang Xu on the side asked faintly.
"The friend you are talking about can't be Jiang Yubai, right?"
Su Yuli glanced at Jiang Xu and nodded with a natural expression.
"It's him."
Jiang Yubai prefers rock-style music, and when making songs, she likes to add some metal elements to it, but Su Yuli doesn't understand this, and it sounds like some stinging sounds to her.
So when she heard the little boy playing the broken sound and harsh scratching sound made by this violin, she really reflexively thought that this thing should be able to be used by Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Xu's expression changed a few times, his lips moved, and he wanted to ask Su Yuli why he was still thinking about Jiang Yubai after breaking up, but he didn't ask in the end.
When he just saw the official announcement of Jiang Yubai and Su Yuli's breakup on the Internet, he killed Jiang Yubai's house and asked them what the reason for their breakup was. As a result, people actually told him mysteriously that maybe he could wait for Su Yuli to tell him himself.
"I'll help you bring the piano back to Jiang Yubai."
Su Yuli heard Jiang Xu say this, thought for a while, and thought that Jiang Xu was about to return to China, and he was a relative of Jiang Yubai, so it was really convenient for him to bring it back, so he agreed.
"Then I'm bothering you."
Jiang Xu took the black plastic violin case, said goodbye to Su Yuli with a smile, and turned around and left without too much movement.
Su Yuli didn't linger where she was, turned around and went back to the hotel with Kaye.
-
That night, Su Yuli lay on the bed in the hotel and called Han Shiya.
Originally, I wanted to tell her about the situation that Jiang Xu didn't know why he suddenly went crazy today, but she talked about John first, and the two girls talked about the drunk man and forgot the time.
"That's why I said, men are really the most annoying."
Han Shiya gritted her teeth.
Su Yuli heard something else from her words, "Have you also met any annoying men?" ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Han Shiya changed the topic, "Speaking of which, how did you play in this competition?" Didn't have a fever before the game anymore, did you? ”
"This time it's okay, I think I'm playing well."
Su Yuli saw that Han Shiya didn't seem to want to continue the topic just now, so she simply changed the topic with her.
"Do you think you can win the first place this time?"
"I guess so."
-
As Su Yuli expected, the organizers of the Fort Melmeade International Violin Competition announced the final results the next day, and Su Yuli won the first place.
At the end of the award ceremony, Su Yuli came out of the concert hall and embarked on a journey to customize the violin again.
Grandpa Zola's shop is a small storefront by the roadside, and the signage of the shop is meticulously maintained.
Looking through the white window, the interior of the shop is very simple, except for the finished violin, some parts and maintenance tools, and a workbench.
Su Yuli pushed the door and walked in.
The wind chimes at the door make a crisp jingle as someone enters.
The old man at the workbench looked up, the heating was on, he wore only a thin waistcoat over his shirt, his hair was gray, but thick, and a pair of small round-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.
Su Yuli greeted politely.
"Hello."
The old man smiled kindly at her and spoke.
"This is a custom violin shop, miss."
Su Yuli nodded and said, "I know, I listened to your granddaughter's performance at the competition yesterday, and I liked the timbre of the violin she used, so I came over to take a look." ”
The old man's eyes suddenly brightened and he stood up from the workbench.
"Oh, then you must be Su Yuli, right? Zora came back yesterday and found me and showed me the video she recorded of your performance in the final, you are so expressive, Miss Su. ”
He had already listened to Zola last night, and the best player in the competition liked the sound of his piano and was very happy.
Su Yuli smiled shyly, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
The old man walked to a display cabinet opposite Su Yuli, stopped for a moment, took out a finished violin from it, and handed it to Su Yuli.
"Your ears are very sharp, and the piano I made for my granddaughter is made of spruce from the Alps, and it is a fine sound wood, and the sound is naturally very ethereal. However, this material is very expensive, and if you want to customize, the price should not be low. Try it, this one is also made of the same material, I made it for an old friend some time ago, but he hasn't come to pick up the piano yet. ”
Su Yuli tried to play a tune, and sure enough, although it felt a little heavy, the timbre was very ethereal and beautiful, and it was a sound she would fall in love with as soon as she heard it.
"I also want to make a piano made of this material."
"My granddaughter should have told you yesterday that my order here is very expensive, miss."
The old man quoted a number, his expression was very peaceful from beginning to end, "my piano is very expensive" He said many times, in fact, there are not many people who come to him to customize, his business mainly comes from the support of his old friends, the family has persuaded him to reduce the price, but he refused, his craftsmanship and materials are worth this price. This is the pride of every craftsman.
However, Su Yuli did not show a disappointed and frightened expression as the old man expected, she nodded and said in agreement.
"An excellent violin, worth the price."
The old man felt as if he had been struck by a lightning bolt, he had been, had not heard anyone say that to him for a long time.
You're not a violin maker like Greg or Florian, so why sell it so expensive.
That's what most people say when they first hear about his price.
The old man said movingly.
"You're my bosom friend! I'm going to give you a discount! ”
Su Yuli, "? ”
Is this a discount? Didn't you say that grandpa's mouth was tight?
However, this kind of cheapness is not taken advantage of.
The old man took out a few more finished pianos with great interest and asked Su Yuli to try to play.
"The most important thing is to find a piano that fits you, and if you know the range and harmony of a piano well, you can still play the whole piece even if there is only one string left in the end."
Su Yuli was a little surprised, "Really? ”
"Naturally, you will have this kind of doubt, which means that the communication between you and the violin is not in place. You know, when you play, the violin is not a tool, but a part of your body. ”
Su Yuli nodded as if she didn't understand.
The steps to customize a violin with Grandpa are complicated.
The old man discussed with Su Yuli in detail the type, style, material, timbre, her playing habits, weight, size, and so on.
After listening to Su Yuli play a few tunes, the old man felt that she was more suitable for using the piano made of Italian spruce, and the tone was more stable and elegant, but Su Yuli just liked the Alpine spruce more.
Seeing this, Su Yuli simply customized two violins with different materials and timbres.
The old man smiled and said that Su Yuli was one of his few young customers, and he had to perform well to keep her as a big customer.
After discussing the customized indicators, Su Yuli paid the money and left the address, originally wanting her grandfather to help her do it and send it to her directly.
But the other party said that he must audition on the spot, so that if he feels that something is not good enough, he can still change it, so Su Yuli left his contact information and asked him to notify her to get it.
Anyway, the two cities are not far apart, and it is fast to fly from her.
