Chapter 80 Step-by-Step Tutorial
After finishing the piece, Lu Ran closed his eyes and waited for Cheng Ning's evaluation.
After waiting for two minutes without any movement, he opened his eyes and found Cheng Ning staring intently at him, seemingly looking at something.
Lu Ran touched her face: "Is there something on my face?"
Cheng Ning then came to her senses, blushing and stammering, "Um, um, yes, there is something."
Lu Ran touched it up and down, left and right: "What is this? Where is it?!"
Cheng Ning pursed her lips, stepped forward, and gently pinched Lu Ran's cheek. Then she released her hand, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "It's done."
Lu Ran looked at her strangely.
"Why do I feel like you're flirting with me?"
Cheng Ning blushed deeply, her ears turning red and her neck turning red.
No, no.
"Okay, I guess I was overthinking it. How could someone as serious as you flirt with someone?"
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Did you listen carefully to my playing just now? What did you think?"
Cheng Ning nodded gently: "It sounds beautiful, much better than what I played."
【Ding! 】
Cheng Ning deeply admires your piano skills; it was truly a wonderful performance.
[Gained 1000 treasure chest experience points.]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a 6x bonus to treasure chest experience points, gaining 6000 treasure chest experience points.]
[Current stored treasure chest experience points: 9080.]
Lu Ran was overjoyed. He had triggered a critical hit. He only needed to gain another thousand experience points to start another ten-pull.
"You haven't studied piano much, so how come you can play so well?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran smiled and asked, "Want to learn?"
Cheng Ning nodded shyly; she really wanted to learn, as Lu Ran played it so well.
Previously, she would search for tutorials online. It would be even better if a skilled person could teach her personally.
"Okay, sit down, I'll teach you."
Lu Ran shifted his position and pointed to the side.
Cheng Ning hesitated for a few seconds before obediently walking over to Lu Ran and sitting down next to him.
"Come on, I'll play it first, and then you can copy it following my rhythm."
"it is good."
"Is this alright?"
"Hmm, that's about right."
Cheng Ning corrected the problems pointed out by Lu Ran and played it again. To her surprise, it was much better.
She admired Lu Ran even more.
Lu Ran laughed and said, "Come on, let's do it again."
The two of them started bouncing again from the beginning.
Even in the later stages, Cheng Ning still had many minor issues. Lu Ran leaned back slightly, wrapped his right hand around Cheng Ning's back, pulled her into his arms, and held Cheng Ning's hands, teaching her step by step.
"I'll play it through you carefully, and you should memorize this rhythm."
He finished playing it in one go very quickly.
Cheng Ning didn't improve at all; in fact, she played worse than before, and her mind was completely disrupted.
Lu Ran was very puzzled. Logically speaking, he should have triggered the "Holding Hands" title effect, and Cheng Ning should have been able to share the cheat with him.
Why is it that it's playing a mess instead?
Lu Ran looked down and found that the girl was actually playing with her eyes closed.
He said, both amused and annoyed, "Why are you closing your eyes! Are you sleepy?"
"I don't teach physics, chemistry, language, math, or English, so why is she falling asleep in music class?!"
Cheng Ning then opened her eyes shyly and apologetically.
"I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Then take it seriously and play well, or I'll make you write a 10,000-word self-criticism after class."
"Um."
Cheng Ning dared not let her mind wander and focused on playing again.
However, she noticed that Lu Ran was still holding her hand. Cheng Ning wanted Lu Ran to let go first, because she couldn't concentrate on playing.
But after hesitating several times, I still didn't dare to say it.
What if we get fined later?
So Cheng Ning had no choice but to calm down and immerse herself in it.
With this focused concentration, Cheng Ning was surprised to find that she seemed to have entered the legendary state of flow.
His overall energy and spirit, and his perception of music, reached an unprecedented level.
As the finger presses down.
The mystery that she couldn't understand before was instantly explained at this moment. Every time she played, she was able to play with ease. After finishing a piece, even she herself felt that it was extremely exquisite and that she could not find the slightest flaw.
"Wow, that's amazing! How did I do that?"
Lu Ran smiled. Sure enough, it wasn't that the cheat wasn't working, but that Cheng Ning hadn't been paying attention.
Activating the "Holding Hands" title can double the effect of other titles, making playing music feel like a divine intervention.
Lu Ran felt that if he and Cheng Ning went to participate in the competition together, and if the event allowed the two of them to play together, they might not even have a problem getting into the top three.
"How was my performance as a teacher?"
Cheng Ning nodded admiringly: "Mm."
She hadn't expected that Lu Ran was not only good at playing himself, but also so good at teaching others. His teaching ability was enough to surpass 99% of the masters.
Seeing that Cheng Ning had been completely charmed by him, Lu Ran felt both pleased and guilty.
Lu Ran was about to teach Ning a few more pieces of music step by step.
His phone rang at an inopportune moment.
I took out my phone and saw that it was an unknown number.
Lu Ran answered the call with a puzzled expression.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Haha, hello Mr. Lu, I'm Li Hongyang, the general manager of the Guide Dog Foundation. Mr. Lu gave our company's guide dog instructor, Xiao Zhang, a business card before, you should remember, right?"
Lu Ran smiled and said, "Oh, it's President Li. Hello, what brings you here, President Li?"
"Mr. Lu, I've actually wanted to contact you for a while, but I heard that your company has run into some problems recently. So, in order not to bother you, I haven't called you yet."
"Mr. Li is indeed a very honest person. So why are you contacting me now?"
Lu Ran naturally knew the purpose of the other party's contact, but he had to let the other party speak first.
"Mr. Lu, our foundation's dog food used to be produced by Liangmu Company. Recently, I heard that Liangmu was acquired and the factory is undergoing a complete upgrade."
"I asked around and found out that he was one of President Lu's men. Mr. Bai said that President Lu makes all the decisions, so I wanted to discuss some things with him."
Lu Ran smiled and said, "So you're here to talk business. It's easy. Although upgrading the production line will improve product quality and increase costs, the selling price will be a bit higher than before."
"But we can still talk about it. If Mr. Li is willing to continue to customize a dedicated production line in the factory, I can give Mr. Li a 20% discount."
In the past, if Lu Ran wanted to help this kind of charity, he would most likely donate money or provide free support without hesitation.
But now Lu Ran is slowly beginning to understand some of these principles.
Human kindness must be hard-earned for others to remember your good deeds and not dare to easily forget your kindness.
Not only will he not offer any discounts, but he will also make money off the other party, gradually giving them benefits little by little later.
"Mr. Lu, could we meet to discuss the price?"
Lu Ran said calmly, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, I've been very busy lately and can't get away. How about this, you talk to Lao Bai. To a certain extent, he can still represent me. He's the Lao Bai who's currently managing Liangmu."
