Chapter 324 Ready to go abroad
.
The holiday hotel was busy. After the competition, it naturally became the first choice for contestants and music fans and media to have lunch. If Lu Wei and the others had booked the location long ago, there would probably be no space at all.
Through the hall, music fans and contestants greeted several people from time to time along the way. After this competition, everyone deeply remembered these outstanding Chinese players, especially Lu Wei, who won the championship, who became the new idol of young music fans.
On the way here just now, Lu Wei's cell phone was busy, and congratulations were one after another, Zhao Yiming, Jin Tielin, Yin Qing, Zhu Hai, Ma Huateng... In contrast, the other two people only answered two or three calls, but there was no reply. Seeing Lu Wei's busy appearance, the two were quite envious.
When I opened the private room, I saw a huge dining table of twenty people. It was already filled with delicious food. In the middle, there was a large three-layer cake. Xiaoling and Lin Xue were chatting and laughing. Seeing the few people walking in, they stood up quickly.
"Haha, it's so rich. I'm so hungry. Let's have some cushion first." Lu Wei said, and then stretched out to the plate of ham closest to him.
"Go! You're not ashamed, so many people are watching." Xiaoling smiled and knocked down Lu Weina's stretched out hand, then greeted everyone to sit down.
Seeing Xiaoling greeting everyone like a hostess, Lu Wei felt relieved. After giving Grafman and Kong Xiangdong to the seat, several people sat down casually.
"Come on. It's fate that everyone can sit together. Thank you for this competition. Thank you everyone. Let's have a drink." Lu Wei said, smiling and raised the wine in his hand.
"Lu Wei. Congratulations on winning the championship. I lost this game with a convincing loss." Sun Yingdi said with a smile, then raised her glass and drank a small amount of wine.
"Don't say that, in fact, our level is similar. I really like your song "Chasing the Snow", which is better than me!" Lu Wei put down his wine glass and said with a smile, with a sincere tone.
"Lu Wei, you don't have to be modest. I always thought that I was playing very well, but after watching your performance today, especially the last improvisation, it was too strong. To be honest, I learned a lot. Come on, I'll give you a glass." Li Yundi said with a smile, then raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Thank you!" Lu Wei smiled, handed his cup, and touched Li Yundi.
The table was all from the piano, so there were naturally many topics to talk about, especially after just experiencing this competition together, the few people had endless topics to talk about. After a few sips of wine, the atmosphere on the table gradually became warmer.
"Lu, how are you thinking about Di?" Grafman drank a glass of wine with Lu Wei, and then asked with a smile.
Hearing Grafman's words, Lu Wei smiled and then looked at Xiaoling, and the beautiful eyes facing his eyes were full of encouragement.
When Li Yundi and Sun Yingdi heard Grafman's words, they didn't understand them, and they didn't know what Grafman's words meant.
"Dean Grafman, I have considered this issue for a few days and discussed it with my family and teachers. I think I really have no reason to refuse your invitation. However, I think after this semester, I will go again until the school starts in September. Can you see?" Lu Wei said with a smile, and looked at Grafman with an expectant look. Regarding this request, it was also the result of his discussion with Xiaoling in his family these two days. Lu Wei thought that Xiaoling would be about to go.
After graduation, he still wanted to spend the last month of campus life with her and have fun for the summer vacation. Lu Wei certainly knew that once he agreed to Grafman's request, it would mean that he would be unable to accompany his family and Xiaoling for a long time. However, for his career, Lu Wei had to make such a choice. After all, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to realize his piano dream, this step would be taken sooner or later.
Hearing Lu Wei's answer, Grafman said happily: "Of course it's no problem! I said a few days ago that the gate of the Curtis Conservatory of Music will always be open for you! Lu, welcome you to officially become a member of the Curtis Conservatory of Music! This has been prepared for you long ago." Grafman said, taking out a piece of folded paper from his pocket and handing it to Lu Wei.
After hearing Grafman's words, Li Yundi and Sun Yingdi realized that Grafman wanted to invite Lu Wei to go to Curtis to school. Of course, the two of them understood how rare it was. There was a hint of envy in the eyes of Lu Wei immediately looking at Lu Wei.
Lu Wei took the paper handed over by Grafman and opened it and found that it was the admission certificate of the American Academy of Cotis Music. Next to the very artistic Cortes of the Cotis Music Academy below, Grafman's handwritten signature dragon and phoenix dance.\
Carefully putting this admission certificate in place, Lu Wei raised his wine glass again and said to Grafman with a smile: "Now I should call you Teacher Grafman. I hope my instructor in Cotis is you."
"Haha, of course, I will teach you personally and do my best! I am looking forward to your growth, Lu!" Grafman said, taking a small sip of wine.
"Teacher Kong, do you think the name between us should be changed?" Lu Wei said to Kong Xiangdong next to him after saying goodbye to Grafman after drinking.
"Change? What to change?" Kong Xiangdong, who was smiling and looking at the two of them, suddenly heard Lu Wei's words and was a little unresponsive.
"You think, now I am a student of Dean Grafman, and you are also a student of the Curtis Conservatory of Music. According to our Chinese seniority, I should call you a senior brother." Lu said with a smile, then raised his cup and said seriously: "Senior brother, I will give you a cup."
After hearing Lu Wei's words, Kong Xiangdong reacted, smiled and pointed Lu Wei with his fingers, and said unhappily: "You little brat, you still talk to me about the seniority of Chinese people. Don't you know that you will be a teacher for life and be a father? No big or small!" Kong Xiangdong's shout made everyone on the table laugh cheerfully.
After eating a meal for two hours, the few people had a great time. Although it cost Lu Wei nearly 2,000 yuan to settle the bill, Lu Wei was naturally a little bit. Seeing Lu Wei taking out his credit card casually, several people smiled and attacked the capitalist.
In the evening, Lu Wei, Xiaoling and Lin Xue, together with the others, boarded the flight back to Beijing.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Beijing. As soon as we walked out of the airport, Lu Wei discovered Wang Hao who had been waiting there.
"Boss, congratulations. When I saw you first place in the morning, everyone in the company was so happy. I was about to hold a celebration party for you!" Wang Hao said with a smile.
"Ah? I'm still waiting for me so late." Lu Wei said in surprise.
"That's not, let's go quickly." Wang Hao said with a smile.
"Teacher Kong, let's go lively with us?" Lu Wei looked at Kong Xiangdong who was walking out of the airport with him and invited with a smile.
"Forget it. I'm already very tired today. I'm not like you young people. I have energy. I have to go back to sleep." Kong Xiangdong touched his bald head and said with a smile.
"You're old every day, you're not a few years older than me." Lu Wei said with a smile, then asked again: "I really won't go?"
"I really don't go, I really don't go." Kong Xiangdong refused repeatedly, and then instructed: "Lu Wei, after this summer vacation, you will go to the United States. Your piano must not be relaxed during this period. The courses over there - Piaotianyi - are very high. Don't think that you have the first place now. There are many students of the same level as you. If you have any advantages, that is, you have a stronger understanding of Beethoven's things, but after all, it is not only taught Beethoven's things. Don't go there and can't keep up with other people's classes, that would be embarrassing."
"I understand, Teacher Kong, don't worry, I promise not to embarrass you." Lu Wei said with a smile, and then said to Wang Hao: "Let's go to the Art Center first and send Teacher Kong back."
After hearing Lu Wei's words, Kong Xiangdong was not polite and got into the car head-on, and then everyone got into the business car.
While driving, Wang Hao asked Lu Wei curiously in the passenger seat and said, "Boss, why are you going to the United States?"
"Ah, it's not that fast. It takes a while to go to school there." Lu Wei said casually. "But what should the company do when you leave?" Wang Hao said worriedly.
"Haha, isn't there any Sister Lin? Besides, I won't come back after I went there. I can come back if I have something to do. It's only been a dozen hours on the plane." Lu Wei smiled.
"Boss, you want to be the boss again. No, I strongly protest!" Lin Xue said dissatisfied.
"Haha, the protest is invalid, you can consider increasing your salary!" Lu Wei smiled.
After sending Kong Xiangdong, Lu Wei and his friends returned to Ailing Entertainment.
After getting off the car, looking at the eye-catching billboard of "Ailing Entertainment" in the office building, Lu Wei stretched and smiled, "Ah, we're home! Let's go up."
As soon as I opened the door of the conference room, a gorgeous scene caught my eye: the conference room of nearly 200 square meters was decorated with ribbons, balloons, and fruit snacks as if they were during the New Year. In the center was a giant five-story high cake, with spots of candlelight shining on it.
Looking at the people in the room, Lu Wei felt moved.
