Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints
Chapter 420 - 204: Isn’t This a Dimensionality Reduction Strike? (2)
A guy with a dirty past dares to be so arrogantly domineering; it’s just damn stupid. Does she think the past is just forgotten?
Hehe...
Qiu Yuhong: "Mr. Yang, what do you want me to do with these people?"
Yang Chen: "Tell them that Chen Xinyi is getting married. It’s next Sunday at Haiyalantis Hotel. I want them to wear green hats and form an ex-boyfriend group to attend. If anyone dares to mess with them, you step in to protect them. If they refuse, scare them a little."
Qiu Yuhong: "I get what you mean. Don’t worry, Mr. Yang, I’ll handle this clearly and plainly for you."
Oh well, if they want to play, let’s play and see who can outplay whom.
...
Meanwhile, Sun Ze Ping returned to the piano room.
Hearing Tang Xia and others playing an unfamiliar piece, he rushed in and asked, "Time is so tight; why aren’t you practicing properly and playing randomly here?"
Tang Xia quickly explained to Teacher Sun: "Brother Chen said that with so many people playing a relatively simple ’Für Elise’, it won’t be impressive. Since it’s about showcasing ourselves, we need some difficulty to leave everyone amazed. So, he picked the hardest piece from the movie ’The Legend of 1900’ for us, the ’enduring.movement.’ Oh, and Teacher Sun, let me tell you something interesting: Brother Chen can even play this piece solo."
Sun Ze Ping was shocked and said, "Really? This piece is said to be impossible for anyone to play solo! Even those piano masters, including the world’s number one Kissin, can’t pull it off. Can he really play it solo?"
Tang Xia: "Hehe... Yes! Brother Chen can play it solo! He just played it for us."
"Yeah! It’s true! I was stunned at the time; how can someone in this world have such fast hand speed?"
"I think it’s not just about hand speed; the brain and nerves must also react fast enough to pull it off."
"I recorded a video; Teacher Sun, take a look."
...
Sun Ze Ping eagerly took the phone and clicked play.
When he saw Yang Chen’s fingers moving so fast they blurred, playing the effect from ’The Legend of 1900’ originally performed with two pianos and post-production, solo, Sun Ze Ping’s worldview was reshaped. His understanding of piano and pianists rose to a new level.
"Haha... I knew I, Sun Ze Ping, wouldn’t misjudge someone! I knew he was extraordinary! Apparently, comparing him to Kissin was underestimating him! Haha..." Sun Ze Ping laughed heartily.
Tang Xia beamed and said, "I also think he’s amazing..."
Sun Ze Ping: "Come, send me this video, I’ll take it to show the administrative office leaders."
Tang Xia and the others quickly sent the video to Sun Ze Ping.
Sun Ze Ping joyfully ran off.
Soon, the leaders and piano teachers of Hai City Music Academy all watched Yang Chen’s solo performance and were left speechless in awe.
However, some remained cautious, raising a bit of skepticism; as long as it’s a video, there’s a possibility of editing. Only if Yang Chen played this piece in front of them would they believe he truly has such superhuman talent.
The Principal even personally spoke up, saying that if Yang Chen could indeed play this piece in front of everyone, Hai City Music Academy would immediately offer him a tenure as a piano teacher.
Sun Ze Ping quickly asked Tang Xia for Yang Chen’s number, then called him in front of all the leaders and colleagues.
To let everyone hear what Yang Chen had to say, he put the call on speaker.
Soon, the call connected.
Yang Chen: "Hello, who is this?"
Sun Ze Ping: "Haha... Yang Chen, it’s Sun Ze Ping. I just showed the video of you playing ’The Legend of 1900’ to the school leaders, and everyone was full of praise."
Yang Chen: "Oh, thanks. And then?"
Sun Ze Ping: "Then we want to invite you for an interview at the school. If you can play this piece in front of us, we’ll offer you a tenured position as a teacher at our Hai City Music Academy. Isn’t that better than driving a rideshare? When are you free so we can arrange it?"
Yang Chen: "Being a teacher? That’s not for me. I’m used to driving a rideshare, living free and unrestrained every day. If I become a teacher, I won’t be able to be so carefree, and my piano skills might decline. Teacher Sun should know that art requires liberation of one’s nature. Living in strictly defined boundaries every day, how can one liberate their nature? So, thank you, Teacher Sun, and all the leaders, but I’m not interested in becoming a teacher."
Sun Ze Ping: "But your piano talent is too outstanding. Just being a rideshare driver is a waste of your talent. You could train many piano talents for our country. Why waste your time and talent driving a rideshare?"
Yang Chen: "I just like this kind of life. Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Sun. If there’s time, we can exchange insights together, but being a teacher is out of the question."
At this moment, Principal Zhang came over with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang, I’m Principal Zhang Heng of Hai City Music Academy. We sincerely want to invite you for an interview and are very earnest about hiring you to teach our students. Can’t you really consider it?"
Yang Chen: "Hello, Principal Zhang. I appreciate your goodwill, but I’m really not suited to be a teacher. If there’s time, I can exchange ideas with Teacher Sun, but being a teacher is not for me. Everyone has their own ideas. I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but I also hope you won’t force me. Alright?"
