Yang Jingxing was helpless: "Don't laugh at me."

Another alumnus asked with a smile: "How does Yang Jingxing feel now?"

"Now..." Yang Jingxing said sincerely, "Now I most want to thank so many senior Chinese musicians for laying such a good foundation, otherwise I would not have the chance to come here."

The seniors were pleased and polite, and praised Yang Jingxing: "You have your own uniqueness and have fully proved your talent. We are also happy, otherwise we would not have waited until now."

Yang Jingxing apologized again: "I didn't know, otherwise how could I dare? I'm so sorry."

The schoolmate smiled indulgently: "Isn't Jeromil also shocked today?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I really didn't expect that there would be so many Chinese and musicians coming to support us. It's so rare to see one, and they are all experts."

The seniors laughed and said, "I am very well prepared. It is not easy to express such a complex work so clearly."

Mao Tianchi nodded: "His requirements for music are extremely demanding, which even surprised me."

The junior praised: "The cooperation between Mao Lao and Niuai is also a classic."

“The audience was completely conquered tonight.” Puyin alumni praised with a bit of worry: “We’ll see what the music review says tomorrow.”

The senior reassured: "Yeromil's popularity is quite good."

Yang Jingxing was very quiet and did not express these opinions.

Another senior thought: "If Director Yang were asked to evaluate the most accomplished conductors in the world today, which ones would Director Yang choose?"

Yang Jingxing thought deeply: "Based on my understanding of achievement, I think there are many conductors with very high achievements. I originally attended a school concert in Lyon conducted by a teacher, but I think his study of Berlioz

It has reached a very high level.”

Of course the seniors understood what Yang Jingxing meant. They nodded in praise and were curious about how good the teacher was. Then they talked about Eugen, the current conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. They heard that Yang Jingxing had many interactions with him: "...he and Jeromil,

Does Director Yang know what their relationship is like?"

Yang Jingxing didn't dare to brag: "I only met Eugen once and chatted briefly, but I don't know him well."

No, I've already performed "Yang Jingxing's Symphony No. 1" and "Piano Concerto No. 1", and the reviews are very high, so why are you still not familiar with them?

Puyin alumni know: "There are many pianists who have played Yang Jingxing's piano sonatas, and I am afraid that Director Yang has only seen a handful of them."

Yang Jingxing felt ashamed: “Most of them don’t have the chance to thank them in person.”

The cellist praised: "Mr. Mao has reached another level now, but have Director Yang ever cooperated with Qin Mengli?"

Yang Jingxing laughed self-deprecatingly: "I haven't had the chance yet. Qin Mengli's repertoire is so big that I don't even need to repeat it for several years of concerts."

No, you guys have crossed paths before...

Yang Jingxing nodded and admitted: "Yes, he introduced me to so many people on such an important occasion. I have always been very grateful to him."

The seniors seemed to be touched by the sympathy between musicians. One alumnus remembered: "What time will Director Yang arrive in Philadelphia tomorrow?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Take the train from here at around eight o'clock..."

The alumni are very familiar with it: "If you can arrive at ten o'clock, Curtis must have received the news."

Everyone laughed, and a senior became enthusiastic: "Director Yang must notify me if he comes to Seattle anytime. If you are polite to me, it will be difficult to talk to me when we meet in the future. Many of my friends in San Francisco and Oakland live on the West Coast. It's a pity that I didn't come this time."

The opportunity comes."

Yang Jingxing was happy: "Thank you, Teacher Huang. Actually, I don't usually have the chance to go on a business trip."

An alumnus was very disrespectful: "There's no way we won't have a chance. Let's see tomorrow morning!"

The senior here shared his feelings: "Success feels good, but it is not easy to be busy."

"Director Yang has actually become famous in the music scene a long time ago." Alumni encouraged, and did not need to be supplemented: "Of course this time it is more influential and meaningful, because it is not only for you personally, but also for the nation.

Band teacher Wang and others also appreciate you very much."

Yang Jingxing was grateful: "I'm lucky to have so many seniors who have helped me selflessly. I can't thank you enough, I can only say that I try my best to live up to expectations."

The seniors were delighted. One said: "If I were just witnessing this evening as an ordinary audience, I would also understand the joy and pride of being Chinese. However, we are not ordinary audiences after all, so there are still many things brewing."

After all, I don’t think I can make an overly superficial and perceptual evaluation of Director Yang’s work.”

Director Yang is embarrassed.

Another added: "But Director Yang's talent is still impressive and shocked me. Yeromil is right."

Yang Jingxing begged: "Stop saying that. It's so embarrassing."

The seniors all expressed unanimous opinions and spoke highly of the work. It seemed that something was brewing at the moment of farewell. One person suddenly suggested: "How about finding a place to have a drink and chat slowly. A friend of mine is in Greenwich and is very hospitable."

"

There is a more generous one: "Come to my house, not far across the Brooklyn Bridge."

Everyone was rude and started discussing how to make the trip. Yang Jingxing regretted: "I can't go. There are many things over there. I have to leave early tomorrow morning."

The seniors understand that they are sorry and can only look forward to the next reunion. This one invites Yang Jingxing to go to Atlanta, the other one is looking forward to introducing the composer to more people at the next concert, and the other one wants to go back to his alma mater as soon as possible.

What a strong feeling. Each senior took turns shaking hands with Yang Jingxing for a long time and saying goodbye. The scene was a bit sad.

Yang Jingxing was also racing against time. After taking the taxi back to the hotel, he started making phone calls, first calling Li Yingzhen. On Saturday morning, Li Yingzhen was with her granddaughter and had no time to talk about vulgarities with the students. Instead, she blamed Yang Jingxing for not letting Yi Yi learn what to eat.

Poutine, how unhealthy.

Principal, it's rare for a principal to be in Puhai, but he doesn't talk nonsense to Yang Jingxing. He has already received some news: "...I will celebrate your success when you come back."

Vice-Principal He, Vice-Principal He seems not to know at all that her wife mentioned to Xiao Shuxia that Lu Kaiping, the head of the Puyin Piano Department, "depends too much on Yang Jingxing", and he doesn't particularly care about the situation in New York. Just ask

I'll wait until Yang Jingxing goes back to say a few words.

It was past half past eleven when we arrived at the hotel. Yang Jingxing didn't rush upstairs and called his girlfriend: "Hey, Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan..."

He Peiyuan was a little impatient: "What are you doing?"

Yang Jingxing flattered: "I missed you. I just returned to the hotel. Please wait for me for a while. I'll go meet the cultural troupe and the others and report back to you."

He Peiyuan immediately changed her tone and shouted, "What were you doing before?"

Yang Jingxing was now patient: "I just sent Huang Jingcheng's group away and then returned to the hotel after sending them away. Teacher Wang and the others came back first."

"Hmph!" He Peiyuan gave a serious warning first, and then interrogated: "One and a half hours, how long does it take for you to send someone away? Send it to Singapore?"

Yang Jingxing humbled himself: "Listen to me, I'll send you a text message when it's over. First, I need to say hello to the band, chat with Yeromil for a while, it'll be half past ten, and then I'll go out and talk to those Chinese people."

It's already eleven o'clock. Later I sent Huang Jingcheng and the others, and Wen Fujiang and the others sent them to the fraternity. Now that we are back to meet them, I dare not waste even a minute."

"I don't care, I've been waiting for so long, and you're just perfunctory with me!" He Peiyuan yelled, and then thought about it: "Then what were you doing on the way back?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Call, Professor Li and the principal..."

He Peiyuan said in a relieved tone: "Okay, I understand, go ahead and hang up, I'm not important anyway."

Yang Jingxing sneakily hid in the corner of the lobby and begged on the phone: "Of course I leave what I want last, because there's not enough time in such a short car ride. I'll tell them and go back to the room and then I can talk to my wife comfortably."

"

He Peiyuan was indifferently sad: "Anyway, I knew it last, and everyone else knew it first."

Yang Jingxing almost lost his principles: "Others don't know, and I haven't said anything about the specific situation. The report to my wife must be the most true."

"I've been waiting for so long..." He Peiyuan went back again: "Just waiting for this sentence, knowing that I am the least important."

Yang Jingxing had to think of something else: "Then you didn't reply to my text message. I asked you to wait for my call, but you didn't reply to me."

He Peiyuan said confidently: "It's okay if I know. If I reply to you, if you want to see it again, you still have to reply..."

"How long does it take to read a text message?" Yang Jingxing was ready to take advantage: "If you don't reply to me, it means you don't care about me at all. First of all, I told you but you didn't respond at all. I haven't said anything yet."

He Peiyuan thought for a moment and then said: "You asked me to wait for my call, but you didn't ask me to reply to the text message!"

Yang Jingxing concluded: "In this way, no one will be held accountable. Just wait for me for a little longer, okay?"

He Peiyuan reluctantly hummed: "You might as well not make this call and make me happy. I won't wait any longer. I'm going out for shopping!"

Yang Jingxing: "Walk shopping and wait until I get back to accompany you. Do you want to go shopping alone..."

"I'm looking for a handsome guy!" He Peiyuan urged: "Hang up the phone, I don't want you to worry about it."

Yang Jingxing begged: "My dear wife, just forgive me, it was an unintentional mistake..."

"Then tell me." He Peiyuan seemed to have some room for improvement: "How smooth do you think it was? If it's good, I can consider forgiving you."

Yang Jingxing thought: "It just went very smoothly... Let's put it this way, I really hope Yuanyuan is here to witness it with her own eyes. You can imagine how unprecedented it is."

"You are so shameless." He Peiyuan was very disgusted: "I don't want to witness it. I don't want to listen to you anymore. I'm going to hang up. You want to fight or not."

Yang Jingxing hurriedly said: "Bye bye, wife, we will talk later."
