Extra chapter to make up for last week.
At first, he thought the instrument was only a little bit more special. It was just something he hadn’t seen before. However, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he felt. He thought it was pretty similar to the descriptions he’d read in some books. Just the day before, he’d studied guqin and read a specific description. It was because of this that he had some doubts. He didn’t expect his doubts to be confirmed.
Not to mention the concerto, just bringing the guqin out would be enough to shock the music world. Especially those music masters, if they knew of these news, they wouldn’t be able to stay calm. Perhaps their expressions would be even more shocking than his had been just now. Thinking this way, Master Qi felt that his mental strength was a little balanced.
“Are you going to play this at the concerto?” Master Qi asked excitedly. His voice even trembled. His expression was ecstatic.
“Mn.” Luo Lingxing nodded again.
“You can actually play the guqin. Can you play something now?” Master Qi knew that this request was very rude, but this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he missed it, he might never get a chance again. So he didn’t care about manners or anything right now.
Luo Lingxing looked at the glimmering eyes of Master Qi’s which were full of expectation. He found a suitable position, placed the guqin down, and sat down. He placed his hand on the guqin and gently plucked a string, and a melodic sound filled the practice room.
Master Liu was immersed in the beautiful music. His expression showed he was enjoying it. Even Chen Hongliang and Liu Zhihu, who didn’t understand this stuff, still showed a face full of enjoyment.
Liu Zhihu looked both guilty and proud. He was proud that his boss was so versatile. As Luo Lingxing’s employee, he was naturally proud. He was guilty because he doubted him before. He shouldn’t have.
Although he didn’t understand music, he also knew that Luo Lingxing’s performance was better than average, perhaps even better than most music masters. At the very least, he didn’t have the same mood when he listened to other people’s music. He enjoyed it so much it felt like he’d been intoxicated and would never wake up.
However, the piece of music didn’t last long. The moment the music stopped, everyone’s face suddenly filled with regret and longing.
“So the guqin sounds like this. It turns out to be so beautiful. This wasn’t a wasted trip. Not a wasted trip at all.” Master Qi bursted out laughing. He was in a very good mood.
“Your name is Luoluo, right? It’s really great. My long-lost inspiration has finally returned. Can I shamelessly ask you for a ticket for your concerto?” Master Qi asked in a complicated mood.
In fact, he really wanted to stay and talk with Luo Lingxing more about the guqin. He believed that by talking with him, he could learn more than if he read a book.
He was so inspired right now that he wanted to record everything he learned. But he could only head back first. He wanted to show off to those old guys. He couldn’t help but get excited at the thought of their expressions. Of course, he didn’t forget to ask for a ticket.
“Sure, no problem,” Luo Lingxing said with a smile.
“Xiao Liu, your boss is really awesome. There absolutely won’t be any problem if he held a concerto. Remember to save a ticket for me,” Master Qi said, then immediately strode out. His speed wasn’t one someone as old as him could have accomplished.
“Young master Luo, you’re really amazing. I apologize for my previous doubts,” Liu Zhihu stood and deeply apologized to Luo Lingxing. He was ashamed for even having doubts.
“It’s fine. It’s normal for humans to have doubts,” Luo Lingxing said with a smile. Without absolute confidence, it was natural he would have doubts about things he’d never seen or heard. He could understand.
As long as it was good for the company, he didn’t mind.
Luo Lingxing, who was still upstairs, didn’t know that things were almost going crazy downstairs.
Since Luo Lingxing hadn’t arranged a soundproof barrier when he played, the employees on the same floor and even several floors downstairs vaguely heard the sound of music. At first, they couldn’t hear it clearly, but they instinctively wanted to hear it. The employees upstairs and downstairs unconsciously gathered on this floor. They listened to melodious music that they’d never heard before. Everyone’s expressions were the same as Chen Hongliang and Liu Zhihu. “It’s so nice. Who’s playing?” A female employee couldn’t help but ask.
It was like opening a floodgate. Everyone began to chatter with discussion.
“Are those teachers playing in the music room right now?”
“Probably not. I’ve heard them play the piano before, but it didn’t sound like this.”
“I’ve never heard such a beautiful tune before. Who’s playing? It doesn’t really sound like the piano.”
“This tune sounds really comfortable. I was feeling sleepy earlier, but now I’m full of energy. I’m not sleepy at all anymore.”
“I also feel a lot better. My head is clear now.”
“I really want to listen some more, so why did it stop? What a shame. I wish we knew who was playing.”
“Ah!” A girl suddenly exclaimed, scaring everyone around her. All gazes naturally fell on her. “Could it be Young master Luo?”
“Young master Luo?”
“I saw him come to the company this morning. Did you forget? We’re currently preparing a concerto for Young master Luo. He definitely knows how to play the piano.”
Those who heard this thought it made sense.
“I remember Young master Luo followed Supervisor Liu to this floor,” another woman who worked on this floor said.
It was most likely confirmed. They immediately worshiped Luo Lingxing more.
“Why is there such a perfect person like Young master Luo in the world? He’s good looking, good at acting, has a good temper, and comes from a good background. He has so many skills that so many others can’t afford. He’s simply not a person, but a god, okay?”
“Perhaps Young master Luo really is a god. Who else could reach this level? Only the Male God is worthy of Young master Luo.”
“That’s right. I used to wonder who could ever be worthy of the Male God. I always felt that no matter who it was, there wouldn’t ever be another person as perfect as the Male God. But now, that person actually appeared. As expected, Young master Luo and the Male God are a match made in heaven.”
“Young master Luo, God Luo. I’ve decided to call Young master Luo God Luo from now on. Isn’t that his nickname on Bilibili? Besides, God Luo and the Male God, no matter how you hear it, they sound like they belong together.
“I still want to call him the little prince. Don’t you guys think so too? They say the princes from ancient times were all proficient in chess and scholarly matters. Our little prince is the same. Calling him the little prince isn’t an exaggeration at all.”
The girls chattered. They gradually went from lamenting about Luo Lingxing’s piano skills to discussing how great a match Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were. They then began to argue about what they should call him. Several male colleagues who followed them up were helpless. These people were too partial, weren’t they?
However, they didn’t chat for long, because the sound of the piano rang again. It was a different song now, but the people that were chatting suddenly stopped. Everyone tacitly quieted down and listened to the song. This was a rare opportunity that they couldn’t let go of.
Luo Lingxing didn’t know about this. Outside of the practice room, more and more people gathered. Even more voices came from the side. Their expressions were the same. If there were some religious people, they would think they were being brainwashed when in fact, it was just Luo Lingxing practicing.
Since he was already at the company, going home to practice was a hassle, and it would waste time. This was also a special practice room in the company, so Luo Lingxing directly practiced there. It also happened that Chen Hongliang and Liu Zhihu could help see if there were any issues with his playing.
Chen Hongliang and Liu Zhihu were very excited and happy at this moment because they could listen to Liu Zhihu playing closely right now. The song made them want to go crazy and immerse themselves at the same time.
Luo Lingxing accidently saw the expressions of these two enjoying themselves and suddenly remembered that adding spiritual energy could make people’s spirits better and make them work more efficiently as well. He wanted to add in a little spiritual energy so that the employees of the company could listen. Even if they didn’t have any mental energy, it would still increase their spirits.
And so, Luo Lingxing added a touch of spiritual energy into his playing. With the help of spiritual energy, the sound of the music spread through the company. Now, the entire company could hear it. No matter what they were doing before, they all stopped their work to bathe in the ocean of music and to enjoy it.
He only had a few songs in his repertoire. All added up it would be about an hour. And since Luo Lingxing had already played some of the songs earlier, he stopped playing again after about half an hour at most.
“These are the songs I chose with Jun Ling. What do you think?” Luo Lingxing asked.
Chen Hongliang and Liu Zhihu were still immersed in the last remnants of the sound of the guqin. Liu Zhihu wasn’t anxious. He waited for them to slowly return to their senses.
There were many employees like Chen Hongliang upstairs and downstairs. It took a while before they could return to their senses, but they didn’t return to work. They discussed the music with enthusiasm instead. Those who guessed that it was Luo Lingxing playing couldn’t wait to return to their post to share the news with their colleagues.
“It’s so nice. When God Luo holds the concerto, I’ve decided that I must buy a ticket to listen to it live. I can’t hear enough of it.”
“I’m so happy to be an employee of Jun Ling. We actually have this kind of benefit. If I tell my friends, they’ll definitely be jealous.”
“I wonder if our company will give us tickets for free for being employees of Jun Ling.”
An male employee asked.
“I don’t know if it’ll be free, but as an employee of Jun Ling, we should be able to buy tickets first. I feel like as soon as the tickets are released, they’ll be immediately snatched and sold out. Who knows how many of us can grab tickets then. As employees, we should get a little benefit here.”
“Exactly! Let the company keep a portion of the tickets for us. If we can purchase it internally, we won’t have to rob those crazy fans. That would be a lot better. I’ll ask the supervisor now and have him tell Director Chen to keep some tickets for us.”
“I want some too. Help me ask.”
“Me too. Me too.”
“Me too.”
“I want three tickets,” a mail colleague said hastily.
The others’ gaze sharply fell on him. The male colleague was stared at and weakly said,”My wife and mother are also fans of Young master Luo.”
“Wow…Then I also want two tickets. I’ll buy it for my bestie and me.”
And so, on this day, the supervisor of each department received a large number of concerto ticket orders. It was more than the number of people in their department. Logically, these people shouldn’t be so unprofessional and their supervisor should reprimand them. However, the supervisor didn’t say anything about these employees because…they added a few tickets to the order as well. It seemed their families also liked Young master Luo.
