I am really a language teacher

With the development of science and technology, especially the emergence of various means of transportation, the distance between cities is getting shorter and shorter.But even so, traveling from Cathay to Moscow was not a pleasant journey.According to the classification of domestic airports, Xingtan International Airport naturally does not have direct flights to Moscow, so everyone must first fly from Xingtan to Yanjing, and then transfer from Yanjing to Moscow.It takes more than 2 hours from Xingtan to Yanjing, and 8 hours from Yanjing to Moscow, and there are more than 2 hours of waiting time for the transfer.It's not a particularly comfortable journey for a long 12-hour flight.

In particular, Sun Ping was a little surprised that no matter whether it was flying from Xingtan to Yanjing or from Yanjing to Moscow, there was no first-class cabin on the plane!Although the flight from Xingtan to Yanjing has a so-called "first-class cabin", it is basically a scam on domestic flights.According to the practice of international flights, this so-called first class is actually just business class.

The flight from Xingtan is at ten o'clock in the evening. This is a flight specially selected by Sun Ping to make it easier for jet lag.You can't sleep during the flight to Yanjing, otherwise it will be a tragedy when you arrive in Moscow.According to Sun Ping's instructions, everyone was going to sleep after getting on the flight from Yanjing to Moscow.In this way, although it is 05:30 in the morning to arrive in Moscow, you can get up early if you get up early.What's more, it takes at least two to three hours to go from the airport to the hotel, so it is basically guaranteed that everyone in Moscow is refreshed, so that they can sleep on time according to Moscow's time difference.In addition to Sun Ping and Jin Weijia, the entire small participating team also included Mi Wenbai and Jin Weijia's mother.After all, their own children are going abroad to participate in competitions, and parents are not at ease anyway.What's more, the Jin family is not the master who is short of money, so Mother Jin also set off together.

Although it takes two hours to fly from Xingtan to Yanjing, fortunately, when everyone is in high spirits, the two-hour flight is not uncomfortable.After arriving at Yanjing Airport, since Sun Ping and his party were transit passengers and they were still flying an international flight, they were naturally unable to leave the airport.Fortunately, there are all kinds of facilities in the terminal, and Sun Ping's various VIP cards are not lacking, so Sun Ping entertained everyone to a chain coffee shop in the airport.Although it is a coffee shop, various light meals and snacks are also sold together.Since it was early morning and everyone was cold and hungry, a place with comfy seating and hot coffee was heaven.Because everyone knows that they have to sleep to beat the jet lag after boarding the plane, instead of ordering coffee, everyone chooses a variety of soft drinks.

After eating and drinking, everyone comfortably played with various electronic devices on the sofa in the corner of the cafe while waiting for the flight to Moscow.Although this is a midnight flight, there are still many passengers on this flight.Although Cathay is very wealthy, not everyone in the Middle East is rich. For example, some young people who have just graduated or the relatively frugal middle class do not have a high travel budget, so this kind of midnight flight becomes everyone’s choice. first choice.After all, there are not many people who are willing to take midnight flights, so in order to ensure the seat rate, airlines are also willing to offer higher discounts to attract these tourists who have low travel budgets but have plans to go abroad.At the same time, airlines are also willing to provide some loyal passengers with upgrade services, so that these passengers who are temporarily unable to enjoy high-class cabins can enjoy one or two in advance, and at the same time further enhance the loyalty of these passengers.However, because the income of these passengers is limited after all, the airline simply does not provide first-class cabins, so as not to lose money.At this time, Sun Ping suddenly realized this problem, but he had no chance to regret it.After resting for more than an hour, the airport finally reminded passengers flying to Moscow to prepare for boarding.So Sun Ping and others came out of the coffee shop and rushed to the waiting area to prepare to board the plane.

"Ms. Sun, the people over there seem to be going to participate in the competition." Jin Weijia suddenly whispered.

Sun Ping took a look, and sure enough there was a teacher-like person leading five or six students not far away.Those students are not very old, probably the oldest one looks like a high school student.Sun Ping looked at their school uniforms and immediately understood.The so-called "Big Six" are the most famous institutions of higher learning in domestic film and television music, namely the National Academy of Drama, Yenching Film Academy and Yenching Conservatory of Music in Yanjing; Donghai Film Academy in Donghai; Nanhua Conservatory of Music in Nanhua and the North Island College of Art in the North Island.

The person who looked like a student in front of him was a student of the High School Affiliated to Yanjing Conservatory of Music. The High School Affiliated to Yanjing Conservatory of Music was also known as "Yanjing Music Middle School". His middle school was dedicated to cultivating music talents.Those who show off that they have a professional tenth level of piano will definitely be slapped in the face when they come here, because the entry requirement for their junior high school is a tenth level of piano major.As for their high school, they are basically performance-level talents.There have been a lot of piano talents in Zhendan Kingdom recently, but nine out of ten are from Yanjing Music Middle School, so it is not surprising that Sun Ping can meet them here.

It seemed that they felt Sun Ping's gaze, and their leading teacher also cast his gaze on Sun Ping.However, Sun Ping is not well-known in the serious music circle, so the teacher looked at him with a scrutiny.Sun Ping was also embarrassed to pretend not to see, after all, he was the one who looked at others.

Sun Ping walked over and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Sun Ping. I am a teacher from Taojiang No. [-] Middle School in Jiangnan Province. This time I am taking my students to Moscow to participate in the Moscow Piano Competition. You are from Yanjing Music Middle School Right? I’ve known you for a long time.”

Since he introduced himself so politely and praised his school so highly, the teacher leading the team was naturally ashamed to pretend to be cold. "It turned out to be Teacher Sun from the No. [-] Middle School. We are from Yanjing Music Middle School. This time we are going to participate in the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition." When it came to the name of the competition, the teacher who led the team was very proud.We are going to participate in the official competition, and you still have to compete for qualification in the qualifying competition.By the time you get your final tickets, not only will we be rested, but we'll be well adapted.But at least they are compatriots, and the team leader was embarrassed to curse Sun Ping and others, so he continued to smile, "The Moscow Piano Competition is also an international A-level competition, and it is good to gain experience in such competitions. We booked Izzy in Moscow Merowobeta Hotel, we have a long-term cooperative relationship with them, the environment is good, and the conditions are quite good. I wonder if you need our help?" The teacher who led the team guessed that Sun Ping had never been to Moscow, so he offered to help.

"No need." Sun Ping said with a smile, "I am a member of the Four Seasons Hotel International VIP Club, and I have already booked a room at the Four Seasons Hotel Moscow through them. I heard that this hotel is next to the Red Square in Moscow. I plan to visit the Kremlin. I don’t know if your hotel is far away, but we will go there together.”

Sun Ping's words deeply hurt the heart of the team leader. Although the Izmailovo Beta Hotel is good, it is only a three-star hotel.The Four Seasons Hotel is a five-star hotel, and even if it is a five-star hotel, the Four Seasons Hotel is different.Although the International Tourism Association sets the highest level of hotels as five-star (of course, some countries have set their own six-star and seven-star standards), experts still divide five-star hotels into three levels: the lowest The first category is an ordinary five-star hotel. This kind of five-star hotel is usually a five-star hotel that has just obtained a five-star rating. Moreover, the brand history is at least 50 years, and hotels in different regions have local characteristics in different regions; the highest level is luxury hotels, which are not only backed by international hotel groups, but also have a history of more than [-] years , or a local landmark building, or has been stayed by historical celebrities, it is still the hotel of choice for celebrities today.

The Four Seasons Hotel happens to be a luxury hotel. You must know that the Four Seasons Hotel in Hollywood is famous, and it has created the golden sign of the Four Seasons Hotel.The teacher who leads the team has decided not to play happily with Teacher Sun Ping anymore. People who show off their wealth in a low-key way are the most annoying!Obviously, it seems harmless to humans and animals, but it turned out that a random watch was the only custom-made version jointly branded by Vacheron Constantin and Cartier, and then said that there are quite a lot of watches like this in our family.

When Sun Ping and his group got on the plane, they took out the three-piece travel set: neck pillow, eye mask and earplugs, and then everyone began to sleep soundly.Because the plane was flying westward, the plane that took off at 02:30 arrived in Moscow at 05:30 local time. The half-hour flight seemed to be only three hours, and suddenly there were five hours of life. .This was Sun Ping's feeling outside Moscow International Airport, but before Sun Ping sighed for too long, the car from Four Seasons Hotel had already arrived.You must know that Sun Ping is not only the svip of the Four Seasons Hotel International VIP Club, but he also booked a Four Seasons suite this time.

The Four Seasons Suite is a special room type of the Four Seasons Hotel. Although there is still a gap compared with the Executive Suite and the Presidential Suite, the price is definitely not cheap.Rao is like Sun Ping, and there are svip discounts and off-season promotions for hotels. The price of the Four Seasons Suite is also 8000 yuan a night.The rest of the people were naturally not so wealthy. Jin Weijia and her mother chose a double room, while Mi Wenbai chose a double room.After everyone tidied up in their respective rooms, Sun Ping took Jin Weijia and Jin Weijia's mother to the organizing committee of the Moscow Piano Competition to register.As a qualifying competition of the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, the registration area of ​​the Moscow Piano Competition is quite lively.

After reading the supporting documents from the Aurora Piano Association, the members of the organizing committee reported Sun Ping for the main competition and Jin Weijia for the youth group.After signing up, Sun Ping rushed to a nearby art school according to the introduction of the Four Seasons Hotel, and began to rent their pianos to start adaptive training.Although the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition does not require the use of Chopin's repertoire as strictly as the Chopin Piano Competition, the use of Tchaikovsky's repertoire in such competitions will naturally win the favor of the jury and obtain certain impression points.So Sun Ping and Jin Weijia are planning to get familiar with Tchaikovsky's piano repertoire, and by the way, find the feeling of competing in a foreign country.At this time, Mi Wenbai was reporting to the school at the hotel, saying that both Sun Ping and Sun Ping had signed up.

At the same time, Fan Yilun, who is competing in the UK, also received an email from Sun Ping.Sun Ping said that after Wimbledon is over, Sun Ping plans to accompany Fan Yilun to the United States to participate in the US Open.By the way, Jin Weijia will also go to the United States to participate in the Bach Piano Competition.What Sun Ping didn't say was that he planned to go to nearby Atlantic City to participate in the World Series of Poker.
