"Membership is also open to people outside the association. The price is not expensive, but it is enough for an ordinary family to save up for one or two years by living frugally."
"My side business is selling pianos. I've attended a few piano recitals here, and they're very good."
"Members of the piano association occasionally work as private tutors, but only for members of the association."
Xia Qing led the two into the elevator, pressed the button for the third floor, and continued, "The people in the Music Association have varying levels of skill, so they will naturally speak for their own people and cannot be trusted."
"You can help Sister Qing take a look, don't send back a half-baked person."
Qiao Yu pondered for a moment: "Sister Qing, it doesn't matter what level the teacher is at, the key is what level the students are at."
“University professors would go crazy teaching elementary school students. It’s not worth the salary either.”
Huang Chengzi glared at him and said, "Qiao Yu, what do you mean?"
Xia Qing nodded: "That makes sense."
After a moment's hesitation, she continued, "But as parents, we always want to give our children the best educational resources. It's okay, I can afford it."
The piano club occupies the entire third floor.
Solid wood flooring, soft crystal chandeliers, and a European-style interior design.
Although it's called a piano club, it actually has more than just pianos as musical instruments.
You can find almost any musical instrument that's available in stores here.
It's just a matter of quantity.
The piano is the most common, followed by the guitar.
The piano and guitar are known as the two elder brothers of the musical instrument world.
One takes a high-end approach and is loved by the aristocracy and the petit bourgeoisie.
A must-have for street performers who prefer a down-to-earth approach.
There were quite a few people in the lobby, about ten or so.
This doesn't even include the people staying in the soundproof room.
Xia Qing took out her membership card, had the receptionist swipe it, and then asked:
"Does the club have any available pianists? I'd like to hire a private tutor."
The receptionist was pretty and dressed fashionably.
Years of social experience have honed my keen eye for detail.
He quickly glanced at Xia Qing, pausing briefly on her wrist.
This stunningly beautiful mature woman's clothing and appearance were rather ordinary.
However, one should never judge a person's inner qualities based on their appearance alone.
The true tycoons are hidden in the subtle details.
For example, the watch on her right wrist is a Cartier rose gold ladies' watch.
This watch is so famous.
Almost every girl who loves luxury goods has seen them in magazines.
Because it's a limited edition.
The current price is approximately $60, which is equivalent to more than four million RMB.
This is an extremely wealthy person.
"Please wait a moment while I inform the manager."
Under the allure of money, the receptionist's smile became genuinely sweet.
Take advantage of your free time.
Qiao Yu took out his phone to check the novel's data. Huang Chengzi leaned over to take a look and said disdainfully:
"I've read this book. The logic is fine, but the plot is too old-fashioned and weak. The author doesn't seem to have any brains. He ignores my requests for updates every day."
Qiao Yu: "..."
Why are you urging me to update if you don't like it?
Qiao Yu glanced at her: "Here, take this pen."
Huang Chengzi fell silent.
After a while.
The receptionist came out with a middle-aged man in a sharp suit.
A round face and a big belly—a typical image of a middle-aged man.
The professional smile on his face softened with eagerness after he caught a glimpse of Xia Qing's wristwatch.
"Ms. Xia, this is Manager Zhang from our club."
The receptionist introduced the two women: "Manager Zhang, this is Ms. Xia, a member of our club."
Xia Qing is a member here.
However, Manager Zhang clearly didn't remember her.
It is evident that Xia Qing does not visit the piano club often.
"Miss Xia, are you looking to hire a music teacher?"
Manager Zhang led Xia Qing and the other two to sit on the leather sofa in the lobby and asked, "What kind of musical instrument is that?"
Some music teachers teach guitar, piano, cello, violin, and so on.
Their clubhouse certainly couldn't be so unrefined.
The quality of the teaching staff must be absolutely top-notch.
A good reputation leads to good business.
"piano!"
Xia Qing smiled and took the hot tea offered by the receptionist.
.......
113 Has studied a little piano; original composition skills are average.
Manager Zhang frowned slightly when he heard the piano.
There seems to be something hidden.
Xia Qing smiled and said, "There's no rush. Manager Zhang can post our requirements."
"I'll contact you when a piano teacher shows interest... Remuneration is not a problem."
"To be honest, there is an international piano competition in October, and the Music Association is focusing on evaluating talent."
"There's a piano competition in the industry at the end of August, and the top-level teachers don't have much time."
He didn't completely rule it out, then changed the subject with a smile:
"However, there are several excellent pianists practicing in the practice room today. Let me ask them for you."
"Thank you for your trouble," Xia Qing said with a smile.
After Manager Zhang left, Xia Qing turned to Qiao Yu and said:
"I told you their words weren't to be trusted."
Qiao Yu pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, "Who wouldn't want a piece of this juicy meat, Sister Qing?"
Xia Qing gave him a reproachful look, which was surprisingly charming.
Manager Zhang's performance was impeccable.
When asked about hiring a piano teacher, he subtly revealed a troubled expression.
It wasn't obvious, but it was enough for Qiao Yu and the others to see.
The text then mentions the international piano competition in October.
And the domestic piano competition in August.
This is meant to send one signal: there is a shortage of piano teachers.
Why do we need to do this?
Of course, this is to set the stage for the price later.
Piano teachers aren't like cabbages with a price tag.
The price of a course will vary depending on the reputation and skill level of the instructor.
Therefore, this "negotiation" is very important.
If the deal goes well, you can make a killing.
Qiao Yu guessed that Manager Zhang used the same rhetoric for every member who hired a piano tutor.
The only flaw was that he was too decisive.
When Xia Qing made the request to "list her name".
Manager Zhang then changed the subject, immediately stating, "Although there are few people..."
The meaning is that "but the club happens to have an excellent pianist today".
Unaware that Xia Qing's words were a test.
As expected of a former top female student, she is a cut above the rest.
Huang Chengzi was completely confused and puffed out her cheeks in anger.
Not long after.
Manager Zhang came out.
He was being led by a man in a casual suit.
