The world's number one pianist

Everyone present put their eyes on He Shen and Zhao Shenggang.

The reason for putting their eyes on Zhao Shenggang is that he is the current head of the piano department of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music.

The reason for putting their eyes on He Shen is very simple...

He Shen is strong enough!

No matter which teacher in Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, no matter how arrogant they are, their attitude towards He Shen is very unified.

That is respect and recognition.

He Shen is the most perfect image of a pianist in their minds!

He is completely immersed in music, and his sensitivity to music is difficult for all of them to touch.

His ability in interpersonal communication is a little weak, and he even has a little quirk.

In addition, He Shen never charges money, so when they ask He Shen about music processing, they can get very good answers.

Especially the works of the romantic period!

Just give He Shen a look, and He Shen can basically tell them a general idea!

All of this constitutes a very obvious image of a pianist.

Therefore, all of them agree with He Shen very much.

Zhao Shenggang looked at the people around him and moved his body to the back, giving his position to He Shen, so that He Shen could stand out among the crowd.

He Shen didn't notice Zhao Shenggang's little action at all. He just sat on the chair, looked at Zhou San, and said to Zhou San very seriously.

"I can't lead the team in December. I have a tour in Europe in December, a tour of Beethoven's piano sonatas, which will last for about half a month, so I can't lead the team."

"I personally suggest that Qu Shi be the leader of the team, and Ji Mengting be the instructor. If I remember correctly, you told me before that Ji Mengting has won several championships in the China Music Higher Education Competition. She can take on this responsibility!"

After He Shen finished speaking, he looked at the shortest figure in the crowd and Ji Mengting behind him, and asked in an extremely calm tone.

"Do you two have any questions?"

Ji Mengting was stunned at first, then immediately stood up and spoke with a little excitement.

"No problem! Teacher!"

Qu Shi, who was sitting in the corner and could hardly be seen, muttered: "I knew that Principal Zhou San had no good intentions in bringing me here. I didn't expect that I would be asked to lead your piano department students here even though I had transferred to the composition major..."

He Shen's tone did not change at all, and he said directly: "If you don't want to, then change someone else."

"Yes! Who said I don't want to!"

Qu Shi immediately became anxious: "Of course I am willing, I just didn't expect that even if I leave the piano department, I have to go back to the piano department for a meeting!"

After getting confirmation, He Shen looked at Zhou San and asked.

"Principal Zhou, is this okay?"

Zhou San smiled and said: "Of course, everything is according to your arrangement!"

He Shen nodded: "Well, in this case, the people of the China Music Piano Education Competition have decided so. Before the competition starts, let the participating students give me an appointment, and I will arrange for them to have a small private class to see if I can improve their strength."

"Okay!"

Ji Mengting nodded readily and sat down.

Although Qu Shi pretended to be unhappy, she nodded very seriously and followed He Shen's arrangement honestly.

After all, leading the team to participate in the China Music Higher Education Competition was a great addition to her resume.

Especially since she had led the Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music team to win prizes in the China Music Higher Education Competition for three consecutive sessions, countless universities offered her olive branches.

Although she didn't choose any of them, it was still very good to have so many schools offer her olive branches.

It was precisely because of this that she agreed so readily.

After seeing that they had no objections, He Shen continued to speak.

"If I can get a place in the competition, I can participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition in August next year. There is no problem."

"The Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee invited me to participate in the opening ceremony of the Chopin International Piano Competition, which is a performance competition to show the strength of previous champions to all the audience who come to participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition before the competition."

"I will participate in this performance concert, but I may not be able to participate in the subsequent competitions because there are other things to deal with."

"If you can get a place this year, I personally suggest that Ji Mengting participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition. Although her personal strength is still a certain distance away from winning the championship, she still has time to continue to study with me. I will try my best to get her closer to the strength of winning the championship."

"As for whether she will win the championship, it depends on the luck of the competition..."

After He Shen finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Shenggang who was sitting on the side watching the excitement, and suddenly said.

"Director Zhao, you will follow Ji Mengting later."

"Me?" Zhao Shenggang was originally just watching the excitement on the side, leaving the scene completely to He Shen to see how He Shen controlled the scene, but he didn't expect to eat the melon on his head.

He couldn't help but sit up straight, frowned, and asked with a hint of confusion.

"Why do I need to come too?"

"I said before that you still have a lot of room for improvement in Chopin's Piano Ballade No. 1, so I can give you a little tutoring to help you break through that barrier."

He Shen's tone was calm. He glanced at Ji Mengting and Zhao Zitong, then at Zhao Shenggang, and said casually.

"It just so happens that I have to teach Ji Mengting a lesson later, so you just need to come along."

"I……"

Zhao Shenggang hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that it was a meeting of the music department. As the boss of the piano department and the top chairperson of the piano department, he was actually reprimanded like this by an associate professor.

If it were an ordinary person, Zhao Shenggang's bad temper would just go up and start a fight.

Who are you? What qualifications do you have to teach me? ah?

But when he thought about it, He Shen, who he and Zhou San had jointly selected as the future breakthrough point of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, was his daughter's teacher.

Zhao Shenggang swallowed hard, pretended to be gentle and approachable, and smiled at He Shen.

"Okay, then when you go to class, just ask Ji Mengting to call me. Under normal circumstances, I won't be particularly busy."

After the words fell, everyone in the conference room looked at Zhao Shenggang as if they had seen a ghost.

They never thought that Zhao Shenggang would say such words.

In the past few years, Zhao Shenggang's extremely cold expression and his strong control over the entire academy were etched in the hearts of almost everyone.

Especially since he never had a smile on his face.

All the students in the school couldn't help but lower their heads when they saw him for the first time, and began to think about whether they had done something wrong somewhere.

Although the teachers were not particularly afraid of Zhao Shenggang, they always felt awkward involuntarily when they saw Zhao Shenggang's sullen face.

I felt that Zhao Shenggang might suddenly scold them, saying that they were not doing well in this place and that they were not doing well in that place.

They really didn't expect that Zhao Shenggang would laugh one day.

Will smile so gently.

They set their sights on He Shen. Seeing that He Shen was filled with the cold temperament of Zhao Shenggang before, their hearts suddenly thumped.

He Shen, after that...

Isn't it a copy of Zhao Shenggang?

No! Obviously I had such a good impression of He Shen before, so don't become extremely iron-blooded later!

Zhao Zitong looked at He Shen in front of him with stars in his eyes.

She felt that He Shen's aura just now was so handsome! Just like her dad! So handsome!

Ji Mengting glanced at her inexplicably, not sure why she was so excited.

He Shen didn't care at all about the stiff atmosphere of the people around him. He picked up his phone, pulled out the memo from the phone, and spoke to everyone.

"I will go to the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. I will take Zhao Zitong to the competition. She has the ability to participate in the competition now, but she is not qualified, so I still need a place here for Zhao Zitong from our school. Participate in the competition.”

"I will study Van Cliburn's repertoire and give me the person in charge of this competition. I will be in charge of this competition."

"Principal Zhou, do you have any questions? In addition to Zhao Zitong, there are other suitable students or teachers in the school who can recommend it to me, and I can give them a try."

He Shen looked at Zhou San, waiting for Zhou San's answer.

Zhou San sat there and touched his bald head with a smile, making quick calculations in his mind. After some calculations, he turned to look at He Shen and nodded lightly.

"Yes, there are sophomores and juniors who should be able to get a spot. If Ji, Ji, um... Ji and Qu Shi can lead the team, then they can ask for it from the people over there. Let's see. Let’s see if we can get two spots.”

After Zhou San finished speaking, he looked at Ji Mengting. Ji Mengting immediately nodded slightly and stood up.

"Okay principal! I will strive for Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music to get very good results and do my best!"

"There's no need to swear a poison, you just have to work hard."

Zhou San still said with a smile. He waved his hand to Ji Mengting, leaned back slightly, looked at the slightly excited Zhao Zitong, and said with a smile.

"Zitong, how are you?"

"I have no problem!" Zhao Zitong stood up immediately and said excitedly.

"Good! Very energetic! But you don't need to be so loud, we can all hear it."

Zhou San smiled, turned to look at others, and continued to speak to them.

"Now that all the upcoming games on our side have been determined, the next step is to make some arrangements after the start of school."

"He Shen, as the teacher representative, you can give a speech to all the students. Please help He Shen write a speech."

"Principal! I am already a member of the Composition and Conducting Department! Not a member of the Piano Department! Don't order me around like you did in the Piano Department before!" Qu Shi raised her hands in protest.

As a result, because she was too short and Zhou San deliberately ignored her, her voice was not noticed by everyone. She could only angrily return to her seat, take out a stack of music scores and start writing and drawing. I don't know what she is writing.

Zhou San ignored Qu Shi and looked at He Shen seriously.

He Shen didn't feel anything about this, he just nodded and agreed.

"Okay, okay."

Zhou San smiled and said, "Okay! Then let's make it like this. You will be responsible for the opening ceremony when school starts. I was the bad guy before, and this time it's your turn."

He Shen: "Yeah, no problem."

"In that case, then the matters concerning the freshman welcome after school starts..."

After Zhou San got He Shen's confirmation, he did not hesitate and quickly started the next topic, and finalized all matters concerning the opening of school with other teachers.

What each teacher had to do at the beginning of school was listed by Zhou San and placed in front of everyone.

He Shen looked at the content in front of him, and his expression did not change.

This time, He Shen only had to be responsible for the opening speech and the opening teacher performance concert.

After all, he was the most important member of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music, and these things were not particularly difficult for He Shen, so He Shen did not refuse.

After all, the piano piece was the piece he was preparing for the subsequent tour concert, and the speech was not written by himself, but by Qu Shi.

It didn't take much effort at all.

After Zhou San arranged the work for everyone, he looked at the schedule in front of He Shen and asked He Shen intentionally or unintentionally.

"He Shen, what do you plan to play in your next work? I was busy before and didn't have time to ask."

He Shen also flipped through the schedule in front of him, added it to the calendar memo on his mobile phone, and said casually.

"Beethoven, when school starts later, my personal idea is to play a Beethoven sonata."

Zhou San asked: "Which sonata?"

He Shen said lightly: "Pastoral."

After that, He Shen confirmed all the contents on the schedule in front of him, entered it into his mobile phone after confirming that it was correct, and looked up and said casually to Zhou San.

"The theme of the subsequent piano tour around Europe will be Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. My personal idea is to play half of each in the first and second concerts, and then randomly select four works for the subsequent concerts."

"But now it seems that my body is much stronger than before, so I feel that it is not impossible to play all 32 piano sonatas from morning to night."

"And I also need to organize it and go to Berlin, Germany to record in advance, preparing to participate in the record sales competition of the quarter."

"That's basically the current plan."

"Pastoral is also one of them, and it is a work that I personally have a greater grasp of."

After saying that, He Shen looked up at Zhou San, nodded slightly at him, and gestured.

"So, is there any other problem?"

"No, no..."

Zhou San looked at He Shen, always feeling confused that he couldn't keep up with his pace. He couldn't help but touch his bald head, feeling the extreme touch brought by his smooth scalp, and smiled.

"Tian Yuan is very good, but I didn't expect you to compete for the record sales champion. It is still very difficult to sell classical music records. Most people don't like classical music very much. Even if they are willing to support you, they may not be able to buy your records."

"However, since you have decided, then move forward at your pace."

"I hope you can grow faster and become a big tree in Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music faster."

"After all, I didn't expect that when I took over and established this school, I would be almost this old..."

After that, Zhou San stood up, nodded to all the people around who were still taking meeting notes, and spoke.

"Okay, today's meeting content is basically like this. After everyone has sorted out the meeting content, go to their own work!"

"After all, we don't have much time to waste for you!"

"Everyone! Time is life!"

After that, Zhou San picked up the folder, touched his bald head, and left the meeting room first.

After Zhou San left, the others also stood up, greeted He Shen a few times, and also left the meeting room.

Soon, only Zhao Zitong, Ji Mengting, He Shen, and Zhao Shenggang were left in the conference room.

After Zhao Zitong and the others left one after another, she jumped up immediately, completely ignoring her father who was sitting next to her, and said with bright eyes.

"Mr. He... ahem, Senior Brother He! Can I really go with you to participate in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition? The world's top piano competition? Can I really?"

"Ahhhh! I haven't participated in a world-class competition yet, I'm so looking forward to it~"

"Senior Brother He, will you go with me to participate in the competition? Or are you my training teacher?"

"No, no, Senior Brother He, if you go with me to participate in the competition, I won't have anything to do, and you're almost that age."

"Ah... I'm looking forward to it!"

Pah!

A loud noise suddenly sounded!

Before He Shen could speak, Zhao Shenggang frowned, slapped the table, and spoke to Zhao Zitong reflexively. "It's unbecoming! How can a little girl behave like this?"

As soon as the words came out, the whole place fell silent.

He Shen looked at Zhao Shenggang, wondering why he was so excited.

Zhao Zitong looked at her father, her face flushed, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just pouted her lips, lowered her head and sat down, not daring to look up at He Shen and her father.

Ji Mengting glanced at Zhao Shenggang and then at Zhao Zitong. She couldn't help but reached out and patted the back of Zhao Zitong's hand as a comfort.

After Zhao Shenggang finished speaking, he suddenly realized that this was a school, not his home. There were other people around him, and his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly remembered that his daughter had grown up, she was already an adult, and her mother had divorced him. To be precise, she should not be considered his daughter.

He just scolded Zhao Zitong out of habit and completely forgot about so many things.

He immediately changed his words, frowned and said in the softest tone possible: "No, I mean, you girls should be more careful..."

As he spoke, he felt that his words seemed to have some contradictions, so he couldn't help but shut up and turned to look at his daughter who was sitting behind him with her head lowered.

Zhao Shenggang looked at Zhao Zitong and couldn't help but open his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh, turned to He Shen and said.

"He Shen, I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now. I just want to ask, are you sure you really want to take Zi...Zhao Zitong to participate in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition? You must know that this competition is global, and it is very important for performance. It is the most difficult game to test the player’s overall strength.”

"This competition is equivalent to a marathon in the piano world. Is Zhao Zitong's repertoire sufficient?"

"If he fails in this game, Zhao Zitong will be a little too old to participate in other games in the future."

"After all, she is already 22..."

When Zhao Shenggang mentioned this place, he poked He Shen intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Zitong was still immersed in the discomfort of being scolded by his father just now, and did not hear it at all.

He Shenze didn't hear a trace of Zhao Shenggang's words at all. He just nodded and said casually.

"Zhao Zitong's current strength may still be a little lacking, but I will provide special training for the songs she will prepare in the future. You don't have to worry about this."

"But Director Zhao, instead of caring about Zhao Zitong's time, why don't you give me your free time now, and I will make an appointment for you. You come to me and talk about Chopard with Ji Mengting." Contents of the First Piano Ballade.”

Zhao Shenggang looked at He Shen who didn't understand him at all, and then glanced at his daughter behind him. He felt a dull pain between his eyebrows, sighed, and nodded.

"Okay, He Shen, I will send my information back to you and make an appointment with you in advance."

"Yeah, okay."

After saying that, He Shen stood up, cleaned up all the items in his hands, nodded to the three people in the room, and turned to leave.

Zhao Shenggang looked at his daughter, who had her head lowered behind him, and wanted to explain, but felt that his explanation was a bit inferior to him as a father. He couldn't help but shook his head and left with the folder.

After Zhao Zitong waited for the two of them to leave, he slowly raised his head and looked at Ji Mengting, who was a little worried next to him. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head slightly at her.

"I'm fine."

"Really? I see you..." Ji Mengting looked worried.

"It's really okay. There will be a very popular final list tonight. I heard that Teacher He will also appear. Let's go back quickly! Don't miss it!"

"Okay... okay" After Ji Mengting received Zhao Zitong's extremely certain answer, he reluctantly let go of the hand on the back of her hand, got up with her, and left the office.

He Shen didn't know the behavior of everyone in the conference room after he left.

He just walked towards the basement where he lived before.

At this moment, a message suddenly came from his mobile phone.

"Teacher He Shen, the heart-warming program you filmed with us will be aired tonight with the final list of top candidates. Please remember to watch it in time~"
