The Three Years Contract Chapter 3

The name of this music store is Olivia Liang Music Store. In addition to the mother and son, there is also a man and a woman.

The man should be a guitar teacher, and he was explaining something with great effort.

The woman next to him had her arms folded and looked worried. Based on his years of experience, he guessed that she must be the boss's wife.

The proprietress has outstanding looks, with long flowing hair and a very feminine look. Even without makeup she looks almost like those stars.

The most outstanding thing about her is her figure, especially the way she hugs her arms, which brings out her best features.

The male teacher said with an impatient look on his face.

"Ms. Zhang, I have explained it to you. Children must learn the piano systematically. Basic music theory should be learned over a period of ten days."

"Rhythm, touching the strings, memorizing the fretboard scales, chord fingering, these things take a month, which is already very slow. If I want to play and sing a complete song, it will take at least another month."

Ms. Zhang's eyes widened immediately. "Another month? You charge me 200 yuan for one class. Do you think my money came from the wind? Return the money to me immediately! I'm telling you, my husband knows someone at the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Don't blame me for taking legal action against you!"

The male teacher was defeated, took a half step back, and said to the busty beauty behind him.

"Madam boss, what should I do?"

The proprietress touched her cell phone, returned the money she had earned, and her heart was bleeding. It seemed that she could no longer run this music store.

"Then retreat..."

When you encounter such unreasonable people, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Just when the proprietress was about to return the money, Ethan Lin suddenly came over and said.

"Madam, are you still hiring a guitar teacher?"

Olivia Liang frowned slightly. What kind of person is this? He is too ignorant. Doesn't he see the current situation? Why is he still recruiting teachers?

If this continues, the company will go bankrupt in a few days!

"No more!"

Olivia Liang said unhappily.

The gig bag Ethan Lin was carrying looked like it was only worth a few hundred yuan. Although the level of a musician cannot be measured by the price of the instrument, a professional guitar teacher would have to invest tens of thousands of yuan in a guitar, right? It was impossible for it to be carried in such a cheap gig bag.

The first impression was bad, so I didn't have to go for the interview.

Ms. Zhang said sarcastically, "When you recruit teachers again, you must keep your eyes open and don't let half-baked people teach the children and mislead the students!"

After being implied by Ms. Zhang, the male teacher was so angry that he almost cursed. This musical instrument teacher is really frustrated!

Ethan Lin asked, "Why? I heard you didn't learn the piano?"

Ms. Zhang immediately found someone to talk to. After all, Ethan Lin was an outsider, so she started talking. "That's right! I've been learning for a month, and every day I just play eighth notes and quarter notes, read the five-line music, and play do-re-mi. Is it useful? A relative came to my house and asked him to show his skills, but he didn't know anything. It was really a joke. You didn't even know that day, my third sister brought her child to my house..."

Ethan Lin smiled. It seemed that the failure to show off in front of relatives was what made Ms. Zhang most angry.

Ethan Lin looked at the young man and asked.

"How many chords do you know?"

The boy was a little shy and said, "I can play C chord, Em chord, G chord."

Ms. Zhang snorted, "Look, you only know these three things. How can you perform in front of others? If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the piano store next door to learn piano. Now maybe I can even play the wedding of my dreams!"

Ethan Lin ignored Ms. Zhang and said.

"I'll teach you one more chord and a song in ten minutes, okay?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.

Olivia Liang and the male teacher next to them looked at each other with a hint of doubt.

Perhaps because Olivia Liang has a very proud figure and uneven weight distribution, she always likes to hug her arms to reduce the weight.

"Boss lady, what should we do? Let him teach us?"

"Well, try it first and see how good he is."

"good."

Ethan Lin took out the guitar from his backpack and sat down with the boy.

"This is an F major 7th chord. You don't need to know how the chord is made, you just need to know how to press it."

The male teacher next to him kept shaking his head and whispered.

"It's like trying to teach your child seventh chords before they even understand triads. It's like trying to force the issue."

The playing methods of F major 7 chord and C chord are basically the same, except in different positions. The boy learned it in just one minute.

"Ok, four chords for one song, that's enough. I'll write out the chords for the left hand and the rhythm pattern for the right hand, 632123, okay?"

The boy tried to pluck the strings in the order 632123, and it was easy.

"Yes, I will demonstrate it to you."

Ethan Lin simply played a prelude and then entered the main song.

"It's not just the wine last night that made me cry."

"It's not just your gentleness that makes me cling to you."

"The rest of the way..."

...

"Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu, oh oh ~, until all the lights go out, and don't stop."

"You will hold my sleeves, and I will put my hands in my trouser pockets, walk to the end of Emily Su Road, and sit at the door of the tavern!"

A simple little coda, a perfect ending.

Ms. Zhang's eyes lit up immediately. "That's great. Let's learn this. How long will it take to learn it?"

Ethan Lin said, "One class, but... I have to apply for a job first."

Ethan Lin looked at Olivia Liang.

Olivia Liang came back to her senses from the singing, "Okay, I've hired you, you can go to class directly!"

As long as we can deal with Ms. Zhang, everything will be easy!

Ethan Lin started the class with her child, and Olivia Liang called the male teacher aside.

"Kevin Wang, how good is this teacher? He sings so well!"

Kevin Wang shook his head, "I can't tell the level. The basic skills are very solid, the sound processing is very clean, and the rhythm is also very good, but this song is too simple, so I can't tell the level."

"But I don't agree with his teaching philosophy. Learning music requires systematic study. How can you teach how to press the chords without learning the chord structure? This quick way of learning doesn't work at all!"

Olivia Liang looked at Ethan Lin who was talking freely and said.

"You don't care how others teach, as long as the child learns it."

"Hey, that's not right. Why does he look familiar to me? Who sang that song just now?"

Kevin Wangdao said, "I haven't heard of it. I searched it and found that there is no such song. It seems to be an original work."

"Oh my god, is she a professional singer? She sings so well, and her voice is so... Dafei?"

Olivia Liang took out his cell phone, searched for Da Fei Band, looked carefully at Da Fei's common face in the photo, and was shocked.

"It's really a big fly!"

"Kevin Wang, go to the door and see if there is any camera. It might be a reality show. Come and experience life!"

Kevin Wang said, "Stop kidding. Dafei never participates in reality shows. He can't be Dafei. He just looks like him."

"I really want to dig out your eyes and use them as bubbles. Can we look and sound like you?"

"Hurry up and go to the restaurant next door and order some dishes. A great man has come to our house!"
