Chapter 603: Chapter 151: CCTV Wants to Invite Me to Compose Music

For the next two days, Xu Lin was busy with his own affairs.

During these two days, he did one thing: he found a store specializing in Huaxia classical instruments and devoted himself to learning them.

In terms of classical instruments, besides those from Huaxia, there are Western ones and those from other countries, making up a large scope altogether.

Before this focused learning, Xu Lin had already mastered two Huaxia classical instruments: the flute and the guqin.

And in these two days, Xu Lin also learned the xiao, sheng, pipa, guzheng, erhu, chime bells, and drum.

For ordinary people, mastering one musical instrument might take a year or longer, and even then, they can barely say they’ve reached the beginner stage, only able to play it, not truly mastered.

But Xu Lin is different; extraordinary skills + learning talent, combining these abilities allows him to quickly master an instrument.

So he was able to master seven instruments in just two days.

If Xu Lin posted about this learning ability online, he’d likely get heavily criticized, as divulging such a feat would be hard for anyone to believe.

"Why don’t you go to heaven?"

But strictly speaking, Xu Lin is not an ordinary person.

What’s the use of learning musical instruments?

Of course, it’s to play music. When making music, for example, creating grand and imposing music, you need a lot of instruments like large drums, timpani, gong, etc.

Xu Lin needs to learn these instruments, so when composing a piece, he can better decide which instrument should be used to achieve the best effect.

Moreover, for some grand compositions, without the coordination and integration of various instruments, it’s impossible to create truly stirring and grand music.

Of course, this is already on the performance level.

Xu Lin is learning in advance, knowing he’ll definitely use them later.

On the 5th, Xu Lin specially found a place to rent a shop.

The shop is quite large, with two floors, each floor measuring 200 sqm.

The rent is 8 yuan per square meter per day; the two floors, totaling 400 sqm, cost 3200 yuan per day. Over 365 days, the rent accumulates to 1,168,000 yuan.

Xu Lin directly paid the rent for one year.

After renting the shop, Xu Lin found a powerful decoration team in the industry and offered them triple the usual payment, asking them to complete the renovation in two months.

Since they’re using very good environmental materials, Xu Lin can start operating right after the renovation is completed.

He is specifically setting up a music room here.

As a person of action, and someone who doesn’t want to waste time and energy on trivial matters, he prioritizes spending money to solve problems.

In Xu Lin’s view, he doesn’t want to waste even a bit of time or energy on issues that can be resolved with money.

For him, time is much more valuable than money.

The five-day Labor Day holiday ended like this, and Xu Lin had a fulfilling few days.

On the evening of the last day of the holiday, there’s a class meeting.

Rong Xiyi didn’t come to school today; she took leave due to a fever, though she has already cooled down a bit, just feeling a little tired.

As the holiday ends, Shang Wanjun routinely checks if any students haven’t returned, as some might have someone sign in on their behalf, not returning to school. Those nearby might stay in the city, while those far could be in another city or even abroad.

Although Finance University is a great school, Jiangdu is a super first-tier city, where students face many temptations. For example, attractive girls, even with excellent grades and resumes, might find that once entering society and work, the best jobs offer only a few thousand a month, not even enough to buy a high-end bag. Meanwhile, Jiangdu will tell you that even with a few thousand a month, it’s hard to make ends meet. Similarly, wealthy older men might tell you that just by accompanying them, they’ll pay you a handsome amount each month.

There’s no shortage of wealthy people in Jiangdu.

Then someone might say, being content brings happiness, don’t compare yourself to others, life is your own, not to be judged by others. What a joke. We’re all ordinary people, not saints or gentlemen, and very few can actually live by those words. Many who say them do so against their conscience.

As a counselor, she needs to check on things.

After checking a few classes, fortunately, there were no such situations, as students without special circumstances have returned to school.

Finally, Shang Wanjun sat down next to Xu Lin.

"I passed my doctoral exam, and I’ll start school in September. So, in two months, my career as a counselor will be over."

Just after sitting down, Shang Wanjun shared this news with Xu Lin.

"You passed the re-examination too?"

"Yes, all went smoothly."

"Congratulations."

"Thanks."

Xu Lin thought to himself that when the time comes, many male students and male teachers will likely feel a sense of loss, as Shang Wanjun is the most famous in Finance University. Even the equally beautiful Ning Yuhuan and Rong Xiyi are not as well-known as Shang Wanjun.

With the title of "beautiful counselor", having a great temperament, she’s like a lady from a scholarly family.

At the age of twenty-three, evolving from a young girl to becoming a stylish and mature woman, she’s at the pinnacle of her age.

What guy wouldn’t be mesmerized? Male students have never seen such a beautiful counselor, and male teachers have never seen such a pretty colleague. It’s inevitable to be captivated.

Moreover, there’s an important point here: Shang Wanjun usually presents a calm or even indifferent demeanor to everyone, always giving an impression of being unaffected, seemingly uninterested in anything. Sometimes people can be quite perverse. Regardless of gender, the more unattainable someone is, the more obsessed others become. The cooler Shang Wanjun appears, the more people adore her, seeing her as the truly aloof goddess, high and untouchable.
