Who wants to be your brother [Entertainment]

Xie Yining tidied his clothes on the mirror of the elevator, and walked out slowly with Meng Jin after making sure there was nothing wrong.

Meng Jin patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Boss, it's up to you."

Xie Yining cast a sideways glance at him, "What do you want?"

Meng Jin: "..."

The waiter waiting outside saw the guests coming in, and nodded slightly at them, "Who are you, sir?"

Xie Yining: "Two."

"Okay, this way, sir." The waiter then led them into the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the gate, Meng Jin bumped Xie Yining's arm and motioned him to look forward to the left.

Xie Yining turned his head and noticed the person sitting by the window at a glance.

It was an old man. Although his hair was grey, he combed it meticulously, and he sat with his back straight.But the strange thing is that he is clearly in a restaurant with bright lights, in pairs, inviting friends and companions, but it gives people a feeling that he is free from the hustle and bustle, which is very unique.

This man was exactly what they were looking for, the conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra, Armand Jones.

Armand Jones is 61 years old this year, and he is an old man with an eccentric reputation that is louder than his teacher.

Because his wife liked to eat at this restaurant before his death, he stubbornly maintained the habit of coming here once a week. For more than ten years, as long as he is in this city, it will be rain or shine.

Also a lover.

Xie Yining nodded towards Meng Jin, and then walked over there.

Seeing this, the waiter just wanted to remind me that the direction was wrong, but Meng Jin stopped him, "He went to say hello to his friend, you take me there first."

"But..." The waiter hesitated to speak.

He looked over there nervously. They were all familiar with the old gentleman by the window, and he had a very weird temper. Every time someone came over to talk to him, he didn't give him a good face, and some of them would even be scolded by him.

He saw that the guest just now was very good-looking and kind-hearted, so he thought about reminding him.

While he was thinking wildly, he saw the later guest bowed slightly to say hello, and then sat down diagonally opposite the old gentleman, during which the old gentleman nodded slightly.

"..." The waiter was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help feeling in his heart that being handsome still has its advantages.

Seeing that there was indeed no objection, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and motioned Meng Jin to follow him to the other side.

Meng Jin took a second look, and it seemed that there should be no major problems, so he knew that his boss would definitely be able to do it.As long as the old man is persuaded, he will be able to operate the following things and start the boss's first tour.

But in fact, the atmosphere at the scene was not as harmonious as Meng Jin and the others thought.

"You want the orchestra to do another audition?"

After listening to Xie Yining's words, Armand stared straight at him with an uneasy expression, "I didn't see you on the day of the interview."

"..." This is indeed a question, Xie Yining thought about it, and chose to tell the truth, "I was not in New York at the time."

"Oh!" Armand snorted coldly, scoffing at this.

Regarding the interview, the band has already released rumors. If they are really interested, they will definitely make time for it. Even if they really have something to do that day, they will contact them to coordinate the time. But Xie Yining never showed up Pass.

The more Armand thought about it, the angrier he became, and his eyes on Xie Yining became more and more unfriendly. It was a waste that he was so optimistic about him at the beginning, and even called the old man Alan to explain it after sending out the recruitment information, but in the end, even No one was seen.

irritating!

"Our chief pianist has already been recruited, and there is no need to recruit again."

"But..." Xie Yining tapped the phone screen with his fingertips, and said unhurriedly, "Aren't you guys going to change people?"

After a day of fermenting about Zhang Mai, another piece of heavy news was picked up——

Zhang Mai got involved in high-interest loans.

It's funny to say that just this morning, half an hour before the scandal broke out, he borrowed some money from someone. Not only was he photographed, but the audio was also recorded. , and can't find a reason.

It's like walking all the way to the dark on the deathly Tongtian Avenue.

It would be fine if he just used his uncle's illegally obtained money to study abroad. After all, as long as he insisted that he didn't know, there would be no real hammer.

The band is also a very famous place. With such a scandal, it is impossible for them to accept Zhang Mai. Moreover, the two parties are still in the negotiation stage. If the contract is not signed, it will be easier to break the contract.

Therefore, it is a certainty that the chief pianist of the orchestra will have an empty seat.

It was also because of this that they came here to seek cooperation.

"I think there must be many like me who missed the interview because of accidents." Xie Yining said, "Why don't Mr. Armand give them another chance?"

"They?" Armand quickly grasped the point, he leaned back, his eyes were cold, "Aren't you among them?"

"..." Xie Yining was at a loss for words, it's really difficult for people to be too smart.

"I will participate in the interview." He said.

Armand heard that there is still something that he doesn't understand, what is the public recruitment, what is the whole webcast, the co-author just wants to use their Philharmonic Orchestra as a springboard to earn fame.Armand's face had completely turned cold. He was already serious, with deep nasolabial folds, and such a straight face made him even more imposing.

Those who are less courageous will be scared to cry by him.

Fortunately, Xie Yining has been facing his own teacher for many years, and has become immune to this kind of old man, so he doesn't feel the pressure of getting along with others, but he doesn't feel it.

He smiled and said, "This is definitely a win-win cooperation."

Armand was unmoved, "Even if it's a replacement, it's our band's own business, so I don't need to trouble you."

Xie Yining: "..." Are you really angry?He secretly let out a sigh of relief, and let Meng Jin come if he knew about it.

He quickly put on a sincere expression, and said: "Mr. Armand, please believe that we will definitely recruit the best pianos for the orchestra, and you can choose them."

Armand sneered and glanced at him, can you be as good as you?Even Zhang Mai, who was recruited last time, is not as good as one-tenth of Xie Yining.

If given a choice...

"Why don't you want to come to the Philharmonic?" Armand asked suddenly.

Xie Yining turned his mind around, he vacillated for a while between telling the truth or making up an excuse, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"The band is too restrained."

After saying the first sentence, the rest is easy. Xie Yining lost all scruples and continued: "I'm not a person who can accept constraints, and the orchestra is the most particular about cooperation. It's okay if it's just a few times of cooperation. "

Xie Yining spread his hands, "I can't do it."

Armand heard this, and looked at him with a sharp gaze, as if to judge whether he was lying.

After a while, he sneered, "You dare to say it."

Xie Yining smiled, not saying yes or no.

Armand picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked, "How is Alan's illness?"

Xie Yining was stunned for a moment, pretending not to understand what he was asking, and said in a relaxed tone: "Teacher has always been in good health."

"Stop pretending." Armand glanced at him and said disdainfully, "I knew about the news of his hospitalization a few days ago."

Xie Yining: "..." Then you didn't say it earlier.

"It's okay." Xie Yining said.

Armand nodded, "Did he ask you to do the tour instead of him?"

When the question came out, Xie Yining was really stunned, "How do you know?"

Armand snorted coldly: "We've known each other for decades, so there's nothing I can't guess." He put down his glass, got up and walked out.

Xie Yining hurriedly stood up and followed out, "Mr. Armand?" We haven't finished talking yet, why did we leave?

"Okay, don't follow," Armand waved his hand at him, "I will arrange for the public recruitment, and ask your people to come to the orchestra tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, no waiting after the deadline!"

Is this a promise?Xie Yining was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, thank you!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and followed, "I'll take you out."

Armand wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he seemed to be at a loss in the matter of recruitment, so he didn't say anything, and let Xie Yining send him downstairs, just asking for some interest.

"Mr. Armand!"

It's just that they didn't expect that the two of them were blocked by people as soon as they got out of the elevator door.

And the one blocking the road is none other than Zhang Mai, the former chief piano reserve player who has been involved in scandals recently.

And Zhang Mai had already seen Xie Yining who came out one step later, his brows frowned, his eyes turned cold instantly, but then he thought of something, and immediately pretended to be excited about meeting a good friend, "Ningning? Why are you here?"

Xie Yining thought that he once regarded this person as his best friend, and panicked in his heart, "I have something to do with Mr. Armand."

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned to Armand and said, "Mr. Armand, I will take you out."

"Yeah." Armand nodded, without even looking at Zhang Mai, he lifted his foot and walked towards the door.

"Mr. Armand." Seeing this, Zhang Mai hurriedly followed.

He glanced at Xie Yining and was troubled. He didn't want to show his embarrassment in front of Xie Yining, but if he didn't say it now, he might have no chance. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Can you give me some time? Let me explain. Things on the Internet, I promise, are definitely not what you see."

"I was framed!"

Armand stopped when he heard the words, and looked up at him, "Been framed?"

"Yes." Seeing Armand's question, Zhang Mai thought there was room for redemption. He couldn't help being ecstatic, and almost couldn't maintain the expression on his face. He hurriedly said: "So Mr. Armand, please give me some time. Let me explain the ins and outs."

Armand stared at him for a while, his eyes were unsteady, and his mind was restless. It seemed that he was lying. He stepped forward and continued to move forward, "No need."

"!!!" Zhang Mai was startled, and blurted out without thinking, "If I say that the person who framed me is Xie Yining next to you, won't you listen?"

Xie Yining who was suddenly hit by a cauldron: "..." Does he count as a person lying at home with the pot coming from the sky?

But looking back, it seems correct to say that, after all, it was my brother who did it,...cough!They were a couple, and he didn't mind recognizing it at all, but... not now.

He looked at Zhang Mai coldly, and said, "Zhang Mai, you must have evidence for what you say."

"Evidence?" Zhang Mai looked at him and sneered, completely tearing apart the harmony on the surface, "Isn't the evidence just that you are standing here now?"

Armand turned his head to look at Xie Yining, with scrutiny in his eyes.

Xie Yining: "..." What is this called?

He was almost laughed out of anger, "How can I be evidence if I stand here?"

Zhang Mai took it for granted, "Because you want the position of the principal piano of the Philharmonic Orchestra."

Armand looked away.

Xie Yining: "I..."

"You don't need to deny it." Zhang Mai interrupted Xie Yining, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, "We all know whether it's you or not."

He looked at Xie Yining with a confident look, "Ning Ning, if you want the position of the principal piano of the Philharmonic Orchestra, then you should come to the interview to fight for it openly. Now that you missed the interview, you are using these shady methods to frame me , is simply despicable and shameless."

"I still regard you as my best friend in vain. It's really disappointing that you plan on me like this."

"..." Xie Yining was speechless, he really wanted to say to the other party, 'Take care if you are sick! '

But he has just negotiated with Armand, if he loses the opportunity because of this, the loss outweighs the gain!

"If your evidence is just empty words and nonsense, I have nothing to say." Xie Yining said unhurriedly, "And have you forgotten why I missed the interview with the Philharmonic Orchestra?"

"Oh? Because of what?" Armand suddenly became interested and asked slowly.

"..." Xie Yining wanted to say, can't you be curious in another place?

"To help him return to China to participate in a program." Xie Yining said, "It's him..."

"Xie Yining, don't spout blood!" Zhang Mai was afraid that Xie Yining would say something, interrupted him hastily, then pointed to the coffee shop not far away, and suggested to Armand: "Mr. Armand, why don't we find a place , sit down and chat slowly?"

Armand looked at him coldly, as if he hadn't heard what he just said, and asked, "Is the person in the photo you?"

"!!!"

Zhang Mai didn't expect Armand to ask this suddenly, he swallowed, gritted his teeth and denied, "No."

Armand's eyes turned cold again, "Where's the recording?"

Zhang Mai shook his head, "No."

"Oh!" Armand sneered, "Did you call the police?"

"..." Zhang Mai was at a loss for words, he did the thing, why call the police?

"I……"

Armand didn't give him time to think about the answer, and taunted: "Being framed by someone is such a big thing, instead of wasting time to come to me to explain, it's better to go to the police and file a case as soon as possible."

Xie Yining heard this and wanted to give the old man a thumbs up!It hit the nail on the head.

Zhang Mai's mind is already in a mess, but he can't give up, he can only delay time to find a way, "Mr. Armand, listen to me. I will prove that I was framed, but before that, the principal piano of the orchestra, you can't Substitution."

Hearing this, Armand almost laughed angrily. How did he look at such a person in the first place?He said coldly: "Whether the orchestra changes or not has nothing to do with you, and our orchestra will never hire musicians with bad character."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhang Mai wanted to chase, but was stopped by Xie Yining, who lowered his voice and said two words.

Zhang Mai froze for a moment, frozen in place and unable to move.
