world number one pianist

Chapter 181 I... Reject (Recovery day after tomorrow)

"This year, get the hell out of here!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was very serious, full of desire for control, and it made people feel a chill the first time they heard it.

A chill that makes one want to refuse.

However, He Shen just picked up the phone, looked at the name on the phone, didn't know what to say for a while, and just sat on the steps without saying a word.

After the person on the other end of the phone finished that sentence, he didn't say anything more to He Shen, and he also fell silent again.

The silence spread, and the air seemed so cold that it could freeze.

Xu Yuqi, and her manager, Sister Li, hid in the corner and looked at each other without daring to say a word.

They dare not even go back now.

They are too close to He Shen now, if He Shen is on the phone or something, they can go away.

but……

He Shen didn't speak, the whole surrounding was very quiet, the quiet was scary.

Therefore, if they walk away now, they will directly...

He Shen will be discovered!

Eavesdropping, anyway, is eavesdropping, not just listening.

This is the main reason why they dare not move.

He Shen didn't care about them at all at this moment, he was holding the mobile phone in his hand, the knuckles on his fingers were distinct.

When he played the piano before, he didn't use such force.

"Are you... dumb?"

The voice on the other end of the phone came again, and he asked He Shen indifferently.

"Didn't you understand what I just told you?"

"..."

He Shen still didn't speak, he looked at the name on the phone in his hand, and still didn't say a word.

After a while, He Shen said slowly.

"This year, I don't want to go back..."

"I said, come back this year!"

When the person on the other end of the phone heard He Shen's voice, his voice became more and more cold. He looked at He Shen with a cold tone that seemed chilling.

"You have no excuses to continue going out. Your credit, on my side, has been lost! Don't you know?"

"You said you were given two years, so may I ask, what have you done in the past two years?"

"When you left, you said that you would follow my ideal and become a pianist!"

"And what about you now? What are you doing now?"

"Do you think... you're a pianist?"

"Do you think, do you still deserve to be a pianist now? Are you still qualified to be a pianist?"

"I don't want to say too much, I will save you the last bit of self-esteem, don't let me repeat it for the third time..."

"I... let you come back this year!"

"..."

"..."

He Shen didn't speak, and the person on the other end of the phone was waiting for He Shen's speech.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire aisle became extremely quiet and extremely weird...

No one spoke.

After He Shen was scolded by the person on the other end of the phone, he didn't say much.

He just took a deep breath and sighed slowly.

"The last year, this is really the last year, I will prove it to you this year..."

"You said the same thing last year, so I gave you a year last year."

"This year, it's true, it's the last time..."

"Ah……"

He Jianguo, the person on the other end of the phone, had an extremely cold tone, and smiled coldly at He Shen, and there were several sounds of fingers tapping on the table from the other end of the phone.

"Did you... Forget the vow you made to me this year? Would you like me to read it to you?"

"At the beginning of the year, you said that you would become a pianist this year, and that if you didn't succeed, you would come back. Then tell me, how much have you progressed towards becoming a pianist this year?"

He Shen pursed his lips, and said slowly, "I have now joined the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music as a teaching assistant..."

"Teaching assistant? Your goal is to be a teaching assistant? Is the teaching assistant a pianist?" The voice on the other end of the phone mocked.

"I also won the Golden Piano Award..."

"Golden Piano Award, an award that is only famous in China, no one in foreign countries thinks highly of this award! Are you fooling me with this?"

"I……"

He Shen held the phone, not knowing what to say...

If it's really by musician standards, he really, really hasn't accomplished anything this year.

Concert, no...

International type competition, also did not participate.

It's just that in China, he brought his own students to rule the roost.

Just won the Huaguo Music Higher Education Competition and the Golden Piano Award...

Internationally, it is not well-known at all.

He Shen listened to his father's ridicule, his eyes were extremely painful, he pinched his eyebrows, and said with difficulty.

"Next year, I have already got the Chopin International..."

"enough!"

He Jianjun's voice came over suddenly, and he said indifferently.

"I said, that's enough..."

"I don't want to hear any other excuses from you. I'm just telling you that you must come back this year!"

"By the way, I want to remind you, before making excuses, first look at what you have done..."

"I ask you to take a good look for yourself! What have you been doing lately?"

"Keep your eyes wide open and take a good look! Look at yourself, what have you done this year..."

"You know what the people around you think of me!"

"One, who is about to become a big star, father?"

"I cultivated it just to make you a big star? Go out and make money?"

"You said it yourself, you have the ability, you can play the piano well, you can make a living from the piano, and that's how you make a living?"

"Relying on being licked by those traffic stars? Being the dog of those traffic stars? Licking them to get a bite to eat?"

"Where do you want my face to be thrown?"

"Don't you want to follow that Li, and disgrace our whole family in Zhongzhou Zhongcheng?"

"Oh no, I almost forgot, you can't even achieve half of the achievements of people with the surname Li..."

"I don't want to say anything more to you, you have to come back to me this year."

After finishing speaking, the phone call was immediately interrupted, leaving only a few beeps.

He Shen looked at the phone in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he put the phone in his pocket, and just sat on the steps without saying a word, a little at a loss.

He Shen was extremely silent, he didn't know what he should do now...

He Jianguo, his father...

Like all the parents in China, the parents of the piano boss are exactly the same...

His father is also that kind of person who is extremely irritable and has a strong desire to control.

I want to hold everything in his palm...

Since childhood, it has been like this...

With great difficulty, He Shen walked to Wuzhou Conservatory of Music and escaped from his clutches when he was in college.

In college, it’s okay, because He Shen is at least well-known in China. He sounds like a future pianist, and his father didn’t say much.

All this stayed after he graduated from college...

After graduating, his father stopped all the funding for him, which led him to live in a very small basement in Jiangzhou.

Even this year, I almost had no money to eat or pay rent because I only had more than 30 left on my body.

Now that I have succeeded a little bit, I feel that I can do it, and I want to prove to my father that I can really rely on the piano to eat...

result……

In the end, he hadn't proved himself yet, and his father scolded him, saying that he was the dog of those traffic stars?

He Shen turned his head and glanced at Xu Yuqi and Sister Li who appeared behind him, and didn't know what to say...

To become a substitute is to be a dog for them?

He Shen shook his head, got up, walked to their side, looked at the two of them, and nodded slightly.

"Get up, don't look, there's nothing to see..."

"Hey... ok..."

Xu Yuqi glanced at Sister Li beside her, not quite sure what He Shen was thinking now.

He Shen just now...it should be his father, right?

His father's voice was so loud that they were a little scared.

Especially the cursing in it...

They had no way of thinking that there would be a father who would treat the child like this?
Xu Yuqi looked at the figure of He Shen walking into the concert hall, and said to Miss Li beside her.

"Sister Li, tell me, is Mr. He depressed? Being scolded by his father..."

"It's obviously a very good thing. I took a look at Weibo before, and everyone was praising him, saying that he played the piano very well, but why..."

"Why is his father so disgusted with the fact that Mr. He is famous?"

Sister Li glanced at Xu Yuqi, and then she glanced at Xu Yuqi, who had already disappeared, so she spoke uncertainly.

"I'm not too sure. It's hard to say what's going on at home..."

"However, I think it's actually quite normal for Mr. He and the other musicians' fathers to have a desire to control."

"I've heard of the Three Piano Masters of Huaguo before, Lang Liangyue, Li Diyun, and Shen Yu, the three of them, and their father's desire to control is very strong."

"Lang Liangyue came home an hour late to practice the piano, his father strangled him, dragged him to the edge of the balcony, took a bottle of medicine, pointed to the balcony and said, or the two of them will die together. , or both of them jump off the building and die, let him choose one at random."

"The same is true for Li Diyun, except that he was a little bit lucky. One thing, he didn't do anything wrong before, so his father was just strict, and nothing else, special punishment, just didn't give him any entertainment. chance."

"Shen Yu, he..."

When Sister Li said about Shen Yu, she hesitated for a moment, took out the pocket from her pocket, searched it quickly, handed it to Xu Yuqi, and said slowly.

"His father is more controlling. He thinks that his child is a pianist. He won the runner-up in the Elizabeth competition and the champion in the Rachmaninoff piano competition. Concerts were held all over the world, and even forced him to break with the best teacher in Germany, thinking that he was not worthy of teaching him."

"Teacher He's father should be a little gentler than the fathers of these people, right?"

"At the very least, he didn't come directly, take the medicine, and force Mr. He to commit suicide?"

"It's just that you want... let him go home for the New Year?"

"I just don't know whether to let him go home for the New Year, or..."

When Sister Li talked about this place, she also felt a little uncertain, not knowing whether He Shen's father was good or bad.

After all, this is a family matter, so it's really hard for her to say anything.

Xu Yuqi glanced at the information on the mobile phone in her hand, and then at the direction He Shen left, with extremely complicated eyes, she murmured softly.

"Is it... gentle?"

She shook her head slightly, recalling her father...

Whether it is my father or mother, they are still friendly. Basically, there is really nothing other than strict requirements on the management of my body.

For other things, it seems that he really didn't strictly ask him...

So, this is the parents of different professions?

Xu Yuqi nodded her chin and tilted her head in thought.

I always feel that these parents who set instrumentalists as their children's next goals are not particularly easy to deal with.

After Xu Yuqi thought for a while, she finally put this matter behind her mind and walked towards the concert hall.

At this moment, He Shen was already standing in front of the director, and they were talking with the director.

The director patted He Shen on the shoulder and praised him very much.

"Teacher He, it's amazing. It's really just one word, awesome! Two words, awesome! Thanks to you, the overall details of our show are directly full, which directly makes the biggest shortcoming of our show before. All gone!"

"good."

He Shen smiled gently and didn't say much.

The director seemed to see something wrong with the expression on He Shen's face, so he asked immediately.

"What's wrong? Has something happened?"

"No, nothing..."

"Is that so..."

Although there was still a little doubt in his heart, the director directly pressed it to the bottom of his heart and did not ask questions for the time being.

Since people don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it, and just talk about it when they want to talk about it.

Therefore, the director just smiled and patted He Shen on the shoulder, comforting him.

"Don't worry, there is no obstacle that you can't overcome. You will definitely pass it later. By the way, do you want to come to our celebration banquet? You are our great hero! It will be tonight."

"No, forget it, I have to go back today."

He Shen shook his head, looked at Xu Yuqi and Sister Li who had just walked in, and smiled at them.

"Xu Yuqi, if you still want to attend class, please send me a message later, see you in a year."

After finishing speaking, He Shen waved to the other employees around and left first.

Everyone looked at He Shen's leaving back and glanced at each other.

"Did something happen to Mr. He?"

"I don't know, I just answered a call, and then it suddenly happened..."

"Huh? Answered a phone call? Could something have happened?"

"I don't know, if he doesn't tell, who knows..."

"Hey, Sister Li, we saw you coming in behind Mr. He just now, do you know the situation?"

Sister Li looked at the crowd, and after a long silence, she spoke slowly.

"Ms. He's father scolded Mr. He because he saw Mr. He entered the crew..."

"And Mr. He seems to want to prove to his father that he can become a pianist..."

"hiss……"

Everyone couldn't help but gasped, looking at He Shen's leaving back, especially his obviously worried back, they didn't know what to say for a while.

Just feeling a little stuck in my heart.

He Shen didn't know how the other people around him felt. He just came out of the crew, went back to the hotel to pick up his clothes, and then headed to the airport.

The money for this air ticket can be reimbursed for the economy class when you go back to school, so He Shen doesn't need to care at all.

He Shen didn't have a lot of luggage on him, he just carried a bag full of clothes.

Go through security and walk to the boarding gate.

Sitting on a bench next to the boarding gate, looking at the plane outside the window through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass.

Even though it is already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, there are only two days left before the new year...

You can even say that it's only one day away.

The most prosperous life for most people is the day of the New Year's Eve, not the first day of the New Year.

Therefore, there are not many people in the entire airport.

Not too many planes.

After all, most of those who were able to go home for the New Year went home long ago, and those who could not go home basically gave up going home.

Airplane flights are much less frequent than usual.

"Passengers traveling from Midtown to Ningcheng, please go to gate 24 and board the plane!"

……

He Shen raised his head and looked around. Passers-by around him walked towards the boarding gate one after another. After checking the ticket at the gate, they walked directly from the boarding bridge to the plane.

People gradually became scarce, and everyone except He Shen got into the plane.

The broadcast was played again, and when people who hadn't entered the plane were asked to quickly enter the plane, He Shen got up, handed the ticket to the staff, walked into the plane, and sat down.

Perhaps because of the rush to go home for the New Year, the plane was pushed to the runway not long after He Shen sat down.

As the sound of the engine became louder and louder, He Shen was pressed against the chair by a powerful push back.

The plane flew towards Ningcheng.

It's dark outside, very dark...

All that can be seen in the sky are the twinkling lights on the wings.

The other passengers around were also extremely silent, doing their own things.

The entire cabin was extremely oppressive.

He Shen looked at the flickering lights outside the window, his eyes full of hesitation.

He didn't know if he should go home or not.

He really wanted to defy his father's coercion and just stay in Midtown.

but……

Maybe it was the Yu Wei of his father before, and he himself planned to return to Jiangzhou early.

This made him directly board the last flight from Midtown to Jiangzhou.

After arriving in Jiangzhou, should I take the train back to my hometown?
Or should I just stay like this and stay in Ningcheng, Jiangzhou?

He Shen didn't know, he didn't have a very definite answer right now.

If he is asked to talk about music and why it is played like this, he can say a lot.

He talked a lot.

You can even talk about a whole class, or even a semester, about music.

But, let him follow his father face to face, He Shen has no thought of resisting at all...

He was beaten up since he was a child. Even though He Shen has been away from his father for two years now, he still has lingering fears when it comes to his father.

Therefore, when He Shen faced his father's phone call, he really didn't know what to do.

The plane passed quickly in the air, and stopped in Ningcheng, Jiangzhou from Zhongzhou Zhongcheng.

People around quickly got up from their seats, ready to walk towards their home.

Everyone has their home, and they are all looking forward to tomorrow's New Year's Eve, when everyone will gather together.

Except, He Shen...

He Shen looked at the crowd embracing each other and the scene of family reunion, and was a little silent.

He also wants to go back, but...

He always felt that if he went back directly like this, his father might hang him at the door and beat him to death tomorrow.

It is absolutely impossible for his father to tell him to go back because he wanted to praise him and say that he did a good job!
The only way to beat him is to beat him up...

He Shen picked up his luggage, shook his head, followed the flow of people and left the airport, returning to his own basement.

click...

The lights were turned on, and the basement was still the same as it was before He Shen left.

An extremely clean kawaii SK-II was placed in the middle of the room, and the music scores scattered on the ground were still not picked up.

On the mattress beside it, the quilt was piled up in a mess.

The lollipop paper folded by myself before was still placed in the cabinet very securely.

Everything, there is no change.

He Shen walked to the edge of the piano bench, sat on it directly, looked at the piano in front of him, slowly raised his fingers, and then pressed down.

Great……

A crisp voice sounded from the piano.

Listening to this figure, He Shen closed his eyes.

Bach, Goldberg Variations...

first movement.

The sound is like a stream, slowly flowing out from the piano.

This sound should have made people fall asleep slowly.

At this time, there was too much sadness in the music.

He Shen didn't control his thoughts at all, and let his body drive his hands to run on the piano keyboard.

Whatever the interpretation of this work is.

He doesn't care.

at last……

At the end of the whole song, He Shen slowly lifted his hand from the piano, walked to the side, sat on the mattress, and stared blankly.

After an unknown amount of time, He Shen got up and turned off the lights beside him, and got under the covers.

Facing the extremely dark basement, He Shen stretched out his hand from the bed, opened it...

In the air, squeeze slowly.

In the darkness, looking at the dark silhouette of his hand through the light coming from the window beside him, He Shen shook his head.

"I... will never go back!"

"It's not for any other reason..."

"I just want to prove a point!"

"I...can be a pianist! I must be a pianist too!"

"I don't just want to be a pianist, I want to be the number one pianist in the world! Prove to everyone! I... can do it!"

"I'm not the actor's dog, I'm just doing my job..."

"Just like, step by step, I am walking towards the path of a pianist..."

He Shen put his hands down and slowly fell asleep

I don't know when, it began to snow slowly outside.

An incomparably thick layer of snow.
