Chapter 233 White shows off his piano skills, Yonglu is stunned
In the center of the crowd stood an antique grand piano, and a young girl was sitting on the piano stool, waving her ten jade-like fingers up and down.

In her hands, the piano seemed not to be a dead object made of wood, copper or iron, but was given life. When she played it happily, it was like the bright spring sunshine with wild bees flying around; when she played it sadly, it was like the pouring moonlight with all things being lonely. Each note came through her ears and climbed up to her heart, really stirring her bones.

The sound of the piano is beautiful, and the person playing the piano is even more beautiful.

The girl on the piano stool was wearing a white coarse cloth dress. Through the square collar, one could see the delicate collarbone under her swan neck. But this dress might have been borrowed from someone else. It didn't fit her very well and was a little tight. Her plump breasts under her collarbone made the collar bulge. As the girl played passionately, a dazzling wave of softness surged up and down.

The girl was tall, wearing a pair of yellowed ballet shoes. As she stepped lightly on the pedal, the silver anklet on her left foot swayed with the rhythm. Her round calves and slender ankles looked pleasing to the eye, even though she didn't stand up and just sat there playing the piano. One could imagine how intoxicating she would be if she stood up and danced.

The girl is not only beautiful, but also has perfect facial features. Her expression is so adorable as it changes with the music. She sometimes frowns slightly, sometimes bites her lips tightly. At first glance, she looks like a young girl, but upon closer inspection, she has a mature charm.

White, too white, where did this white girl come from... Liu Yonglu, who was standing outside the crowd, was swallowing his saliva. This girl's whole body, including her hair, was white. If you turn off the lights at night, she would glow.

Baba also noticed Liu Yonglu at this time. He took two steps back and walked to Liu Yonglu's side, but his eyes were still fixed on the girl playing the piano. He whispered to Liu Yonglu:
"Master, this girl is really pretty. Even compared to Madam Millie Tang, she is not much worse."

"Where did you get it? This is New Nurent, and we don't do kidnapping."

"Master, he was not kidnapped. He walked in through the front door on his own."

The two men whispered to each other but their eyes never left the girl, and they both stood on tiptoe, as if they were afraid that they could not see the beautiful scenery on her chest clearly.

It turned out that Marquette had bought the shop a month ago. He first helped Liu Yonglu to decorate it and take care of the various soaps in the kitchen. After he finished these, Baba and his group arrived. Marquette was also a layman in running a restaurant, so he quickly gave up the command and left his phone number to Baba, telling him to come over if there was anything that needed his help.

As the Continental Expo was approaching, Liu Yonglu and his team went into Room 1408 to rescue people, and Marquette could not sit idle. Although there were dedicated people in charge of the hotels where foreign envoys stayed, Marquette, as a member of the Investigation Department, still had to copy an extra report, so that in case of any special incidents, the Investigation Department would not be completely in the dark.

Baba and his team spent more than ten days cleaning up the kitchen and front hall, but they discovered a problem: the restaurant was still short of staff. They didn't have to worry about the waiters in the kitchen, as they were all the original staff from Baldwin Manor, but Marquette still had to take care of matters such as the manager and suppliers.

Marquette looked around the restaurant. He had been there and seen it before, so he knew what was fashionable in New Neuland. There was a lack of a piano in the hall and the performers who played in the restaurant every day. In recent years, this had become particularly popular among the aristocratic circles in Moses Sadd to show off their taste for fine arts.

A few days ago, Marquette placed advertisements at the door and in newspapers. This afternoon, the girl came for an interview, but Marquette was away due to some matters, so Baba had to take over, which led to what happened now.

"Master, are the gods hoping that our restaurant will make a fortune in New New London? I don't understand music, but this girl..."

I'm not good at talking and can't find any suitable words to describe it better.

"Well, listen again. We are looking for performers. Don't be a sheep's dung egg that looks good but is useless. The key is that the thing needs to be used by people."

Liu Yonglu's eyes almost popped out of his head, but he was still trying to find a way out.

After playing for another five minutes, the silver-haired girl stroked the black and white keys and slowly stood up. The crowd around her was stunned and forgot to applaud. They just stared at her in amazement.

"Sir, I wonder if you are satisfied with my performance?"

The silver-haired girl stood on tiptoe and looked for Baba among the crowd.

"This is our master. He just happened to come in when you were playing the piano. It's better to ask him. I don't really understand."

Baba turned sideways and sold Liu Yonglu out, scratched his head and stood aside, while the silver-haired girl looked at Liu Yonglu with a questioning look. My goodness, she was looking at the music score just now, and Liu Yonglu didn't make eye contact with her, but now that their eyes met, Liu Yonglu's heart shuddered.

"Well, it seems that it is similar to... it seems that it is similar to... ours... probably..."

He said he couldn't speak anymore, but he kept on talking nonsense. The more the girl looked at Liu Yonglu, the more speechless Liu Yonglu became. Finally, the girl thought of something, ran back to the piano, took out a small business card from her white bag and handed it to him.

It only has her name on the front, and the back has the emblem of "Greco Conservatory" and a handwritten phone number.

"May I ask what your master's name is?"

"Ricky. Ricky Baldwin."

"Hello Mr. Ricky, my name is White. On my way back to my apartment from the Conservatory of Music today, I saw an ad in a shop window looking for someone to play the piano in the evening, so I thought I'd come... and give it a try."

At this point, the bronze hairpin that held White's long hair together suddenly loosened, and a streak of silver hair just covered half of her face. Liu Yonglu had just adjusted his mentality and was about to speak, but he became speechless again.

"Is your master not very satisfied with me?"

"This... hehe..."

"Baba, make a pot of tea, let's sit down and talk. You all can go and do your own things."

Liu Yonglu's face was wooden. How could he be dissatisfied? He was extremely satisfied. The God of Wealth had come to his doorstep before the restaurant even opened. Miss Bai was sitting in the restaurant and wasn't waiting to get rich. He imagined himself calling a few of his friends, sitting in the restaurant, eating noodles with unique gluten and pot-fried pork tenderloin, and watching the little girl playing the piano for him. He would have to eat two more bowls of rice.

I have to get her to the store today no matter what, but I have to keep a straight face and not let people see my flaws and ask for an exorbitant price.

Liu Yonglu found a table and sat down, and White pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.

"Sister, are you okay later? Let's talk about your strength. The skill you just showed could really be considered as the best. I also love music and I can tell the goodness of it at the first taste.

Let's discuss the price. If it's suitable, you can come to my store to buy bullets in the future, okay?"

Liu Yonglu had a problem: the more nervous he was, the more pretentious he spoke. After he finished speaking in jargon, White was dumbfounded and kept looking at him with those eyes.

"You mean, the interview just now was okay? Then... when can I come over and play the piano?"

"Don't rush, don't rush, let's talk about the price." Good things came too quickly, and Liu Yonglu was afraid that he would be ripped off.

"I'm a student at the Conservatory of Music. I've just arrived in New Neuland, and I don't know how much it would cost to play for a night. But I have to make it clear to you in advance that I can only play until 10: p.m., and then I have to go back to the apartment."

"Ten thirty... a little early, isn't it? I'll ask you to go a little later. I'll ask a carriage to take you back."

Liu Yonglu has been eating out a lot in the past six months. To be honest, 10: is a bit early, especially in a city that never sleeps, such as Saint-Dawdin-Neuvent. Many people come out after the opera to have a midnight snack. "That won't work either. I'm sorry if we can't come to an agreement on this condition."

After White finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. What's the point of getting something easily? You have to play hard to get and only know how to cherish it after you get it.

"Hey, hey, hey, come on. Since it's a business, there's always room for negotiation. Just tell me the price first. I want to hear it."

White timidly stretched out two fingers. Liu Yonglu sucked his teeth and said, 20 pounds, this is too much. The key is that it is only three or four hours from dinner to 10:. Although this girl plays the piano well and she is not picky in appearance, it is too expensive.

"Two pounds. I... I can pay my monthly tuition in ten days."

"What the hell? Two pounds!?"

"Is it too much? I heard from other students in the dormitory that they went to the nobles' houses to teach children to play the piano for more than a pound a night."

"Well, all right, two pounds is two pounds, but you have to work hard and play it like you did just now, is that okay?"

"Don't worry, sir."

First, be a little bit temperamental and do something weird to make the other person feel unhappy, and then feed him a big sweet date. It would be strange if a man is not happy.

As she spoke, White stood up, bowed slightly and nodded, perhaps wanting to formally express her gratitude, but then she remembered that this was not a school and the person in front of her was her employer, not her teacher, so she quickly raised her head again and met Liu Yonglu's shifty eyes. When she bent over just now, the spring light on her chest was almost exposed.

"Well, there is one thing I must make clear to you. My business has not yet opened. If you want to come and play the piano, the earliest you can do so is next week."

"Can't it be earlier? I have to pay tuition next Monday."

"It won't happen quickly. Look at me, there are dozens of people here. If I change the date, all other arrangements will have to change accordingly."

"Then sir, can you give me a week's salary in advance?"

Hmm? But as soon as he said this, Liu Yonglu started to wonder if he had been scammed.

"Let me ask you, are you a liar?"

After asking this question, White was also stunned. Who would speak like that?

"I...I'm not a liar."

Liu Yonglu put his hands on his chest, sneered and said nothing. This man didn't dare to admit that he was a liar and was very unreliable.

"Sir, if you are worried, I will still come to the store to work this week, but I will not play the piano. I will help others wipe the tables and tidy up the kitchen."

"also."

It's enough to see him. I don't know if he took the money and ran away. Liu Yonglu thought about it and nodded:

"Okay, but the wages are only half of what you'll get for playing the piano. I'll pay you on the weekend."

"Sure, half is enough. I have saved some money myself."

Baba took out the contract that Marquette had prepared in advance from the drawer. Liu Yonglu and White signed their names, and the deal was done.

"You said you were studying at school, what were you studying?"

"Piano, but I also occasionally sneak in to watch my ballet classmates' classes."

After signing the contract, White, who was sitting opposite, seemed relieved. His body language became richer when he spoke, which made Liu Yonglu stunned.

He thought to himself, why don't you buy yourself a new coat when you get your wages? I can't stand wearing this all the time.

Liu Yonglu had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he chatted with her. Baba and the other servants watched from a distance and whispered:

"Master, are you looking for a mistress?"

"I don't think so. Mrs. Milly Tang is so nice. But all noble lords have this bad habit."

"Should we find a chance to talk to Mrs. Millie Tang..."

"Look again, this is the first time we meet."

The servants were chatting, and Liu Yonglu had been chatting for two hours without realizing it. He suddenly remembered that Millie Tang was still waiting for him at the office, so he quickly got up.

"Sir, are you going home? If it's on the way..."

"Next time! We'll talk about it next time!"

Liu Yonglu put on his hat and walked out of the restaurant without looking back. White followed him out onto the street. She frowned and looked in the direction where Liu Yonglu disappeared.

Things were going smoothly, but it looks like I'll have to waste a few more days. Thinking of this, White walked two intersections before boarding a carriage and heading towards Canary Harbor.

I have had headaches and stiff neck these two days, which is driving me crazy.
