We chatted on and off all the way and it was almost one o'clock when we arrived in Haining. No pop-up updates soon. Yang Jingxing got lost again and got lost for a while. It was already half past one when we arrived at Haining Art School. Fortunately, the weather in Haining was also good and the air seemed to be fresher than Puhai.

Although it is far less well-known than Puyin, Haining Art School looks much more impressive. The school has a tall and splendid gate, and the campus area is several times that of Puyin. The buildings inside the school are brand-new and avant-garde.

There must be many students in the art school. There are quite a lot of fashionable and avant-garde girls coming and going in and out of the school gate, which makes An Xin who is waiting look quite inconspicuous.

An Xin squeezed into the back seat next to Yu Xinting under everyone's greetings and said excitedly: "Let's go to the hotel first. Just turn left not far ahead."

Qi Qingnuo smiled: "How are you so motivated? When will your parents arrive?"

An Xin said: "It's almost afternoon."

Kong Chenhe was concerned: "Do you know the place for practice later?"

An Xin was not worried: "I can find it. Are you hungry?"

Yu Xinting nodded: "A little bit."

An Xin said generously: "We'll eat at the hotel."

Yang Jingxing said: "You guys give Professor Li a call."

An Xin handed over this task to Yu Xinting.

After entering the hotel lobby, An Xin said: "I booked four rooms, not counting my parents' rooms."

Everyone looked at each other and An Xin said, "I have a bedmate in my room who was eliminated and left today. Xinting, please live with me."

Yu Xinting nodded: "Okay."

Qi Qingnuo invited Kong Chenhe: "The two of us will share a room."

An Xin said: "Boys share a room."

Yang Jingxing praised An Xin: "You are so cunning." He also told Yu Xinting: "Turn a blind eye."

Yu Xinting haha ​​An Xin was surprised for a moment and then frowned and explained: "That's not what I meant. I'm afraid you don't want to be in the same room with others."

Qi Qingnuo scolded Yang Jingxing: "Don't be boring." Then he advised An Xin: "There is no need to waste it."

An Xin said: "It's already booked, it's just for one night anyway."

Although they are all on the same floor, the rooms are not connected together. As soon as Yang Jingxing put down his things, An Xin came in and took a look and said, "Everything is relatively clean."

Yang Jingxing said: "Go and accompany Chi Rong and leave me alone."

An Xin asked: "When will we eat?"

Yang Jingxing said: "We don't have much time to tell them to hurry up."

An Xin nodded and went out.

After settling in, we went to eat. Although An Xin had already eaten, she still wanted to be luxurious.

Qi Qingnuo said: "Eat whatever you want and go to school quickly."

Everyone agreed and An Xin said seriously: "Thank you."

Yang Jingxing said, "Thank you Chi Rong. He paid for all the tolls."

Qi Qingnuo said: "You also said that if you buy tweed, we will laugh at you and you will feel embarrassed."

An Xin looked at Chi Rong who was really embarrassed and smiled: "Eat quickly."

An Xin finished her meal very quickly, paid the bill, and rushed to school.

After arriving, Yang Jingxing gave the car keys to Qi Qingnuo: "If you're bored for a few hours, go for a walk and pay attention to safety."

Qi Qingnuo nodded and asked An Xin: "Give me your parents' phone numbers and I will pick them up."

An Xin didn't have time to be polite and just thanked her.

Although An Xin's piano room at the art school was not cheap to rent, the management still did not allow her to bring anyone in.

"He's my teacher!" An Xin used an eager to the point of irritation, trying to get the other person to stop looking at Yang Jingxing suspiciously.

"Teacher's certificate?" Yang Jingxing was discouraged by just one sentence from the other party.

Chi Rong stood up bravely: "Do you understand? Do you know who he is?"

Yang Jingxing begged: "Can you please be accommodating and start practicing with the band at four o'clock? We only have one hour."

The other person shook his head and smiled: "Are you a teacher?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you for your help."

The other party looked at Chi Rong: "Where is he?"

Chi Rong was very conscious: "I'll go down and wait for you."

An Xin was still angry after entering the piano room: "The frog at the bottom of the well looks down upon others..."

Yang Jingxing said: "You are in such a bad mood."

An Xin took a deep breath.

Yang Jingxing blamed me again: "You too, who do you think I am? Everyone knows me?"

An Xin smiled.

Yang Jingxing said: "Just sit back... we won't analyze our opponents, we will only focus on ourselves."

An Xin nodded...

At almost four o'clock, Chi Rong rushed to the theater of the art school again. This time, Chi Rong was not turned away.

The art school's theater is larger than the He Luting Concert Hall, with more than a thousand seats. Now there are only about ten people sitting in the audience.

The Haining Symphony Orchestra is well-known in China, but the average age of the dozens of musicians present today is relatively young, and the conductor is only in his thirties.

An Xin had already greeted the organizer, so Chi Rong went to the auditorium. Yang Jingxing followed An Xin and the person in charge went to greet the orchestra conductor.

The conductor came to shake hands with An Xin and say hello: "I hope you get a good ranking."

An Xin said politely: "Thank you for your hard work."

The conductor nodded to Yang Jingxing again.

Yang Jingxing politely said: "Hello."

Hurry up and start. Each of the six finalists will choose two concertos from the prescribed concertos. During the two-hour practice time, the contestants can arrange their own arrangements but cannot change the music.

An Xin has already discussed with Yang Jingxing that she should come to Mozart K595 first to see if she can save as much time as possible for Brahms.

But as soon as An Xin came over and the conductor had no time to introduce the orchestra, someone in the audience shouted: "Hey... Yang Jingxing."

Yang Jingxing walked to the stage and bowed slightly in surprise: "Hello, former editor-in-chief." He was not an acquaintance, the magazine editor-in-chief whom he met during the Puyin May Day Music Festival.

The other party waved: "Come down, why are you here?"

Yang Jingxing hurried down to shake hands with the editor: "The former editor didn't expect to meet you here." He pointed at the stage: "We came to cheer for our friends' competition." He pointed at Chi Rong again.

The former editor-in-chief also had a smile on his face: "I came to see if that was your friend? Is Professor Li here?" The people around him also stood up and looked at Yang Jingxing with the same expression.

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "The professor is not here. I have read your chapter, thank you."

The former editor-in-chief chuckled: "I have come back to express my feelings. In fact, I have been following you and 306 and I know that you are now starting to reap the benefits. It is very good and I am happy."

Yang Jingxing was grateful: "Thank you for your concern and we will continue to work hard."

The editor asked: "Is Professor Li in good health?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Very good. I'll pass on my greetings to you."

The editor-in-chief blames himself: "I'm too busy and I don't have much contact. Oh, let me introduce you... He is Yang Jingxing. You may not know that I am very familiar with Professor Li Yingzhen's number one disciple, Professor He Hongchui, and the great disciple Ding Sangpeng."

Value him..."

Yang Jingxing humbly met five people one after another. Two were leaders of the competition organizing committee, one was an official from the Haining Municipal Government, and two were the principals and directors of the art school. Haining Art School was also one of the organizers of this piano competition.

The principal of the art school told Yang Jingxing not to be modest: "...the former editor-in-chief is a talented and courageous writer. He is definitely right."

The director of the art school suddenly shouted: "Do you recognize 402?"

Yang Jingxing laughed dryly: "I have used this pen name before."

The director clapped his hands: "Is that you? Yes, yes, that's you! I remembered that you wrote pop songs and some of our students know you."

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "I can only say that the students at your school know too much. It's the first time I come to the school. It's beautiful. The students are very energetic."

In terms of politeness skills, there is no difference between these people. Dozens of people are still waiting. In the end, the former editor-in-chief suggested: "We should let the players practice first and talk about it later."

Everyone agreed and Yang Jingxing said, "Then I'll go and talk to the players."

Although there was no judge here, a few people still paid attention to the names of the contestants.

Before going back, Yang Jingxing also said to Chi Rong, who had been standing there for a long time: "Send Yu Xinting a text message saying that it may be extended a little longer."

Chi Rong nodded blankly and the organizing committee said there was no problem at all.

Yang Jingxing returned to the stage and apologized to the conductor again and said it was time to start. An Xin gave the recorder to Yang Jingxing: "Hold it for me so that I can hear you clearly."

The conductor still remembers the procedure: "Let me introduce to you that this contestant is from Puyin Piano Department and his name is An Xin. This is his tutor. Okay, everyone should take it seriously and give the contestant a good feeling. k595."

Of course the orchestra played from the score, but An Xin didn't need to. Yang Jingxing stood beside An Xin and behind him, with his hands hanging down like a bodyguard.
