In the last two days of 2008, Yang Jingxing had a very fulfilling life with preparations for exchange activities between the Piano Department and Juilliard, preparations for Android's new album, and advancement of Rucant's New Year activities. The students were all nervously preparing for the final exam.

Yang Jingxing was not afraid of the professional courses, music history, orchestral orchestration, traditional music theory, and analysis of trending works. He had to ask the insurance company to find An Xin to draw the key points, and it was An Xin's turn to tutor him.

Julia's team arrived on the night of the 31st. The school arranged for reception staff including Kong Chenhe, but no leaders or expert professors were dispatched. It seemed that they were not very important. It makes people guess that they must have experienced too much.

.

At the simple welcome ceremony on the morning of the 1st, Puyin showed some etiquette. The piano department was mobilized, and the vice president and director of the International Exchange Office also participated.

The meeting team in the department is mainly composed of the director plus five professors, and then seven students, one from each of the affiliated primary and secondary schools, and five undergraduates, excluding Yang Jingxing.

Julia was led by Yemima with two professors and four students, two preparatory students and two undergraduate students, including Zhou Hanhui, who actually returned to China early.

The diplomatic event was held in the school's large conference room, which was slightly decorated. Pu Yin expressed a warm welcome, and Julia expressed her gratitude for the honor, and then gradually unfolded. In fact, apart from Zhou Hanhui, Pu Yin and Julia have always had some connections...

It's just that they were all Puyin's students, not Julia's.

In the previous meeting of the department, it was decided that we should be submissive and have to admit that others are better. Of course, the job of submissiveness was left to Yang Jingxing, so that the leading professors would not have to be low-key. Yang Jingxing was shameless anyway.

Yang Jingxing has been involved with the leaders a lot, and he speaks very skillfully. He praises others without undermining himself. After all, he represents the school and not an individual.

The two parties had a pleasant conversation and basically established a long-term friendly relationship. In the excitement, Lu Kaiping unexpectedly gave him an unplanned gift, saying that students in the Juilliard piano department can play Yang Jingxing's piano works at will in the future.

Fortunately, the Americans did as the locals did and gave them face, saying that they would study and study excellent Chinese works, thus avoiding embarrassment.

After getting to know each other, they began to exchange professional issues in teaching. Both parties introduced their teaching models and methods to each other in a systematic manner.

The Yankees do have some experiences worth learning from, but Puyin also has something that the other party admires...

There was a dinner party at noon, attended by the attendees, but Lu Kaiping knew that Kong Chenhe, who was in charge of external arrangements, was an old acquaintance of Yemima, so he called her out specifically.

Kong Chenhe still wanted to be polite, but was pulled in by another teacher.

When they went to the hotel, Kong Chenhe accompanied Li Yingzhen in Yang Jingxing's car. The professor's dignity was nothing to say, but Kong Chenhe, who had been quite capable when facing the American team before, became obviously cautious again, especially when Li Yingzhen asked about Yu Xinting's situation.

As far as Kong Chenhe knows, Yu Xinting has spent most of her time visiting relatives these days. It’s not that she values ​​family ties, but mainly because her parents mean: “...Actually, her parents bought all the gifts, and she didn’t

Spending money. She cashed in 10,000 U.S. dollars, but she hasn’t used it much yet. Her parents don’t want her to buy anything, so she probably has to cash it back again...” Kong Chenhe said that it was going with the flow, and Kong Chenhe didn’t have to stop.

Also, Yu Xinting's former teacher came to visit her students this time. Yu Xinting was considered to be the most promising child she had ever taught, and the teacher was very proud of her.

Although Yu Xinting is not known by many music fans and listeners in China, she is still somewhat famous around her social connections, not to mention relatives, but also those high school classmates with whom she did not have deep feelings, or childhood playmates.

Everyone knows that she is already a pianist living in the United States.

Yang Jingxing didn't have anything to inquire about, but he just expressed some opinions when Li Yingzhen hoped that Yu Xinting would get into work immediately when she arrived in Puhai tomorrow. Forget it if she didn't want to, there were still many friends to see and chat with.

When we arrived at the dinner table, the food and wine were a mixture of Chinese and Western food. Americans seemed to really like Chinese food. Each pianist was full of praise for crab roe tofu, white robe shrimp, and four treasure soup.

On the student side, Yang Jingxing, who is in his teens or 20s, is a very well-educated and polite person. Fortunately, Yang Jingxing took the lead and helped to liven up the atmosphere of the meal.

Zhou Hanhui is obviously a glutton. She had been quite elegant and restrained all morning. Now that she was happy, she recalled to Yang Jingxing the cafeteria in Shangpu. There was really a lot worth nostalgic about. She quietly told Yang Jingxing that it was ten times better than school cafeterias in the United States.

Eighteen thousand miles.

In the afternoon, teachers and students split up for activities and had more in-depth exchanges. Yang Jingxing was assigned to the teacher's team again and took the Americans to visit and discuss the form of future exchanges between the two schools.

In fact, Puyin still has some resources, and they are obviously more than Julia imagined. Looking at the list of master classes in the past two years, the list of celebrities all over the world, various external exchanges and academic achievements, it can barely be called international.

.

However, facing his capitalist colleagues, Pu Yin's attitude is still modest, and he hopes to learn from Julia. After all, music has no borders and is the common language of all mankind.

What the director of the International Exchange Office means is that the market for serious classical music in the world is actually shrinking, but it is different in China. China's market has just begun to grow, and the prospects are very optimistic. Not only should the Chinese themselves lead the development, but it is also worthy of peers around the world.

Pay attention to.

At nearly five o'clock, the teachers and students met and ended today's activities happily. Both sides were very satisfied and will continue tomorrow.

The Julia delegation left, and only Zhou Hanhui had to wait for her family to pick her up. Yang Jingxing arranged for his fellow juniors to accompany her, and he left beforehand.

When Yang Jingxing was driving out of school, a large black Cadillac SUV almost blocked the way. The junior fellow in the car was talking to a young man in the driver's seat. Zhou Hanhui, who was in the passenger seat, saw the Audi driver and looked surprised again.

He pulled the driver's arm and pointed.

The two people in the SUV got out of the car, and Yang Jingxing also stopped the car and nodded to the young man who looked no more than two years older than him: "Hello."

The young man seemed reluctant to follow Zhou Hanhui in calling Yang Jingxing: "...Hello, Teacher Yang."

The two shook hands, and Yang Jingxing said, "We should have met before, but you may not remember."

The young man's recall was a bit artificial: "...really?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Tao Meng, remember, it was Christmas the year before last."

The young man remembered: "Oh, Tao Meng... you are her boyfriend, I remember it, I have an impression!"

Junior brother said to Yang Jingxing: "Brother, I'm leaving first." He received thanks from several people.

Zhou Hanhui was completely shocked: "Do you know him? Teacher Yang, he is my brother!"

"What a coincidence!" Zhou Hanhui's brother first exclaimed: "It turns out you are a teacher... I didn't expect that!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "My name is Yang Jingxing."

Brother Zhou Hanhui continued to nod in surprise: "Hello...my name is Zhou Hanli."

Zhou Hanhui wanted to explain that the characters of the brother and sister were not exactly the same, but Zhou Hanli laughed that this could be regarded as superstition, and then sighed that it was such a coincidence, and then recalled the original time: "... I was sorry at the time, I didn't understand the situation, but Tao Meng later told

I and you are her boyfriend... How is Tao Meng doing now?"

Yang Jingxing said: "She went to Harvard at the beginning of the year."

Zhou Hanhui nodded again in surprise: "Oh... pretty good."

Zhou Hanhui was anxious: "Who is Tao Meng?"

Zhou Hanli helped his sister recall: "Have you seen... your first year at Juilliard, we came back for Christmas... Hey, you are from Shangpu School, and so is Tao Meng?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yeah..."

It turns out that the Zhou brothers and sisters did not know that Tao Meng graduated from Shangpu, they only knew that she was from Fudan University. Zhou Hanhui couldn’t believe that she had met her teacher’s girlfriend and they were both alumni: “... help me talk to Tao Meng.

Say hello, sister."

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "We broke up... but I can tell you my best wishes."

Zhou Hanhui was still a little girl, so she might have thought that breaking up was a serious matter and it was hard to say anything. Her brother was much more skillful: "It's normal, break up and get back together... experience life."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "It's really a coincidence, but it's a pity that I have something else to do..."

Zhou Hanli continued skillfully: "It's okay... Hanhui took care of me, thank you!"

On New Year's Day, the text message business was quite busy. After arriving in Eyang, Yang Jingxing fiddled with his phone for a while, and finally wrote a long text message to share today's coincidence with Tao Meng, but in the end he didn't send it and instead called everyone to go to a holiday dinner.

, have a good meal. After the dinner, we will go to KTV to sing. Wang Chengchuan treats us. This is Eyang’s annual party. Everyone should enjoy themselves and just drink. Fan Yun has already made a reservation for the driver.

Wang Jianxian and Pang Xi prepared red envelopes for their employees respectively. The amount was certainly not large, but everyone was very happy. Yang Jingxing still had the nerve to protest why he didn't have any red envelopes.

On January 2nd, the arrangement was for Juilliard’s professor to instruct Puyin students in the morning, and in the afternoon Professor Puyin would instruct Juilliard students. Through the morning observation, Puyin people realized that Juilliard’s teaching was relatively divergent, and the teacher

They are also really talented and learned.

After noon, Yang Jingxing gave Kong Chenhe a day off, and Yu Xinting arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon. In the afternoon, Yang Jingxing replaced Li Yingzhen to coach the white girl who loves tofu. The professor wanted to go home to welcome Yu Xinting's parents.

Although the teacher was absent, Yang Jingxing did not have stage fright, and with Professor Hu and Professor Feng sitting in charge, Puyin regained its place in the two hours in the afternoon. Lu Kaiping was very happy and proud. In the morning, it was mandatory for the department and jazz piano students

They all attended classes taught by Americans, and in the afternoon, many students from other departments also came to support their alma mater.

After the day's activities, Zhou Hanhui found an opportunity to talk to Teacher Yang. She still had the gossip mentality of a little girl and asked Yang Jingxing if she fell in love with Tao Meng in high school.

Yang Jingxing actually acted like a teacher again and didn't talk about personal matters.

Perhaps thinking that Puhai is her own territory, Zhou Hanhui is not afraid of the teacher: "Don't she know that you are one of the best pianists in the world?"

Yang Jingxing ignored him.

Zhou Hanhui seemed not to understand the expressions of adults: "I suddenly feel that you are so vicissitudes of life." She shook her head and sighed.

Although they were clearly related, Yang Jingxing still arranged for his junior brother to send Zhou Hanhui away.

The 306 concert started at seven o'clock, and Yang Jingxing arrived at Majestic Theater at 6:40. It is said that it should be basically full today, with only about a thousand people. The lowest ticket price is 50, the highest is 280, and the stage is ten

Everyone has been training hard for many years, which is quite hard to say. But in this way, at least 306 is not a loss. After factoring in the venue fees, there is still some leftover. It is better than the main group, but it is hard work.

I have been practicing for decades and still haven’t saved my capital.

The situation in the theater was not bad, there were quite a lot of people, but fortunately some people came with large bouquets of flowers, and they probably weren't arranged, and Yang Jingxing didn't even recognize them.

Yang Jingxing didn't see many classmates, just a few junior brothers and sisters from 306, and Zeng Li also came. Zeng Li introduced Yang Jingxing to Yan Guangyong's mother, who was indeed a very cute and amiable woman in her fifties.

Hearing Yang Jingxing praise Shao Fangjie, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. His son was second best. He was lucky to catch up with Shao Fangjie.

Tomorrow he is going to perform in Quhang again, but Yang Jingxing has to be busy at school until the afternoon, but there should be enough time, Shao Fangjie and He Peiyuan can wait for him to go there together. Yan's mother is very grateful, but it is troublesome for Yang Jingxing, so it is reassuring to follow the director.

There were still a lot of friendship votes, and Yang Jingxing had to say hello a lot. Qidawei and Zhan Huayu came together as a couple again. Zhan Huayu still blamed Yang Jingxing for not waiting in Pingjing last time, but Yang Jingxing's judgment of the situation and his trust in Qi Qingnuo

, and let Zhan Huayu praise him.

Speaking of 306's success at the National People's Congress, Zhan Huayu was obviously proud: "Your uncle envies me..."

Qi Dawei was not envious. He said that he wanted to make this year's "sealing night" more lively. I wonder if Ruge was interested. Of course Yang Jingxing was happy to join in the fun, so we discussed it.

A few minutes before the show started, Yu Xinting, Kong Chen and He Anxin came out from the backstage, but their seats were further back and they passed directly.
