Chapter 35 B-4

When Shen Jie saw Sang Li for the first time, he actually thought of only one thing: Hiring child labor is against the law! That day, in the corner of the coffee shop of the Zhongyue Hotel, he looked curiously at the slender and immature figure from behind. Who is your miss?" The waiter had never met Shen Jie before, but he saw that the man in front of him had an extraordinary bearing, so he replied respectfully: "I'm sorry, I don't know the exact name, but this lady is also a substitute, and she will come every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday .” "Substitute?" Shen Jie frowned: "How old is she?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, wondering what the man in front of him was asking this for. While hesitating, the department manager behind him recognized Shen Jie and hurried over to say hello: "Manager Shen." Shen Jie pointed to Sang Li and asked, "Is she eighteen years old?" The department manager looked over and smiled: "Oh, she's a student at the Art Academy. It turned out that the one said that she had something to do and invited her to take over for a month. Since she is a college student, she should be eighteen years old." Shen Jie nodded, seemingly inadvertently mentioned: "She didn't learn the piano, did she?"

"Really?" The department manager was a little surprised, and asked tentatively, "Then Mr. Shen means..." Shen Jie thought for a while, flipped through the score in his hand before, wrote a few words on a small note and handed it over: "Give this note to her, and let her play the piece on it." Although the department manager couldn't figure out Shen Jie's intentions, he still complied. When the note was handed to Sang Li, Sang Li was stunned. Three words, smooth and elegant handwriting: "Embroidered Gold Plaque". Sang Li raised her head subconsciously and looked into the corner, where the faint figure raised her hand slightly, as if to greet her.

Sang Li had a headache - because Tian Miao was learning the piano, Sang Li had seen her practice this piece during the grade test.This is a delicate lyric song. Against the background of the Anti-Japanese War, the feelings contained in it are affectionate and moving.When playing, there is a high requirement for the cooperation of both hands. The part of the melody should be smooth and friendly, and the sounds other than the melody should be soft and flexible. Not only must the sound quality be clear, but also the lines of the melody should be prominent.The speed of the whole piece alternates between fast and slow, with orderly ups and downs, sometimes lively and cheerful, sometimes long and distant.There is also a section of repeated sounds played by cross-handed hands. The starting point should not be too heavy, but it must be light and clear, thereby increasing the joyful atmosphere of this part.

Sang Li didn't know whether the person ordering this song was a retired cadre or an octogenarian, otherwise how could he be interested in this kind of song?However, she accepted the sheet music resignedly and tried to play it.She didn't know that when the notes in the first few bars slid out, Shen Jie frowned first, and then smiled.He looked at her like he was looking at a beautiful woman, but also like looking at a child who was much younger than him, and even had some memories, as if he was looking at a relative... At ten o'clock in the evening, when Sang Li finished playing and was about to go to the bathroom to change out of her costume, a waiter came over and said to her with a smile, "Hi Miss, Mr. Shen, please come over."

Sang Li asked alertly: "Who is Mr. Shen?" The waiter replied with a good temper: "It's the general manager of our hotel." Sang Li's brain was full of alarm bells - could it be that his poor technique was exposed so quickly? Can't help complaining about Duan Rui: If I knew I couldn't trust her, people who can go to such a five-star hotel are either rich or expensive, who can't play the piano?Even if you can't play, can you still listen? I'm still a little guilty: Look, I just ruined Duan Rui's part-time job like this. It seems that I'm out of luck. I guess Duan Rui's generous salary is out of luck.

When he was thinking like this, he walked up to Shen Jie, and Sang Li was taken aback when he saw him. He didn't expect Zhongyue's manager to be so young! how old is hetwenty? "Sorry, I'm 31 years old." The man's pleasant voice sounded, and Sang Li was shocked. Could it be that he has mind reading skills? And he explained to her with a good temper: "Don't be afraid, it's just that your expression is the same as that of many people, and I'm used to it." He pushed her a set of cups and saucers and asked her, "What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

Sang Li sat down somewhat awkwardly, and answered in a low voice, "Tea." Shen Jie smiled: "I thought you would decline first, and then ask me with a little fear why I called you here." Sang Li sighed in his heart, and thought to himself: Senior Sister, I can't help you anymore, please forgive me! Thinking about it this way, I became more courageous, but the expression on my face was still a little stiff: "Mr. Shen, I'm actually not without fear." Shen Jie smiled, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Taste it, do you like this tea?" Sang Li glanced at him suspiciously, wondering where this man was talking so much nonsense, if he wanted to fire him, he would say so, why did he act as if he really invited him to drink tea?

But it's useless to think too much, she picked up the cup and took a sip, and a faint fragrance immediately diffused into her heart. Shen Jie smiled: "Anxi Tieguanyin, a kind of oolong tea, this year's autumn tea, commonly known as 'Autumn Fragrance', has a high aroma, but the soup taste is relatively thin. Its picking technology is very special, not very young buds Instead, pick the leaves that have fully unfolded. The advantage of this tea is that it has a natural orchid fragrance in terms of taste, and in terms of function, it can not only lose weight and beautify, but also refresh and prevent cancer.”

"Oh——" Sang Li nodded, raised his cup and looked at it thoughtfully, then put down the cup and replied, "Sorry, I don't know much about tea." "Oh——" Shen Jie imitated her, and then smiled: "Then what do you know better? I guess it's not the piano?" Hearing what he said, Sang Li was a little embarrassed, but still answered him: "I'm learning vocal music." "Vocal music? National singing?" Shen Jie suddenly became interested. Sang Li bit the bullet and answered, "Bel Canto, soprano." Shen Jie looked at Sang Li suspiciously: "You're so skinny, learning soprano?"

"Maybe I'll get fat in the future," Sang Li shrugged, "Besides, I'm just a freshman, so I still have a long way to go." Shen Jie laughed, and then asked: "May I ask, what's your name?" Sang Li's alarm bell started to ring again, but thinking about it again, if he didn't say it, Duan Rui would say it too. Now that he's here, is he still afraid that people will know his name?Then she answered him, "My name is Sang Li." "Miss Sang, why don't I play the piano and you sing, okay?" Shen Jie suddenly proposed with great interest. "Ah?" Sang Li was startled: "But, you are the general manager." "Who stipulated that the general manager can't play the piano," Shen Jie smiled meaningfully: "Miss Sang, are you doubting my piano skills?" "No, no, no——" Sang Li shook his head, but he was thinking in his heart: Even if I doubt it, I can't just say it outright. As if seeing through her mind, Shen Jie smiled gently and elegantly this time: "Let me tell you a secret, Miss Sang, before I studied hotel management, I studied piano and composition." "Really?" Sang Li was startled. "Of course it's true." Shen Jie stood up, half-bent gracefully, and extended her hand to invite: "Miss Sang, can you collaborate with me on a song?" Sang Li stood up subconsciously: "What song?" Shen Jie gently held her hand, led her to the direction of the grand piano, and answered her while walking: "Schubert's Lullaby." "Ah?!" Sang Li was irritated again. The general manager of a dignified five-star hotel, and a handsome man with a professional background in piano, just standing in the store can attract countless eyes, right?Tossing such a big circle, just to play an introductory vocal song?Isn't he afraid of being laughed at?
