After Ye Ning hung up Wu Xiu'e's call, she directly dialed Gu Feng's number.
But the answer he got was that there was going to be a big competition in the army soon. Gu Feng was leading the company in a closed training and there was no way to practice in a short time.
After putting down the phone, Ye Ning frowned.
Gu's father's illness must not wait any longer. She still has more than two hundred yuan here, but Wu Xiu'e said that the hospital needs five hundred yuan, which is still half of it.
Gu Feng couldn't be contacted, so she had to rely on her to raise the money, but with her character in the compound, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to lend him a dime.
After much deliberation, the only way out was to get a salary advance from the art troupe.
"Salary advance? Are you encountering any difficulties?"
Outside the corridor of the musical instrument room of the art troupe, Ye Ning stopped Xu Mingyu, who happened to be alone, and directly asked for an advance on his salary.
After Xu Mingyu heard what she said, both eyebrows were knotted.
Ye Ning nodded.
Xu Mingyu showed a look of embarrassment. After all, she had only been with the art troupe for less than half a month and had not participated in a performance. I am afraid that the troupe would not agree to such a sudden salary advance.
"I can ask for you, but it may not be possible. After all, you are only a temporary member now."
Ye Ning also knew that Xu Mingyu was somewhat embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"You go back to the training room first, don't delay your normal training." Xu Mingyu warned, still willing to give her a try.
"Then I'll leave it to Captain Xu." Regardless of whether he can do it or not, Ye Ning is always grateful to Xu Mingyu.
After separating from Xu Mingyu, Ye Ning went directly to the training room.
Recently, the musical instrument team was rehearsing a new piece with the singing and dancing team, and there just happened to be a piano performance in it.
Ye Ning had been absent from rehearsals because of her arm injury, so now she naturally needs to get in touch with everyone as soon as possible.
"Isn't this Ye Ning? Isn't he here to inspect our rehearsal again today?"
After Zheng Shuyun saw Ye Ning, he immediately stopped practicing and started to sarcasticly.
In fact, it’s not surprising that she would target Ye Ning like this. In fact, Ye Ning has been injured since the first day she joined the group, and Xu Mingyu insisted on waiting for Ye Ning to recover from her injury before letting her participate in group rehearsals, so although these days Ye Ning comes to the cultural troupe every day, but actually he just sits on the sidelines and watches. It's hard not to create bad associations.
There was a roar of laughter all around.
Now everyone has almost concluded that Ye Ning came in through the back door, and may not even know how to play any musical instrument at all.
"Ye Ning, it's not that we are targeting you, but you've been here for so many days and we still don't know which part of the performance you are responsible for?"
Another girl next to him also questioned Ye Ning along with Zheng Shuyun.
Without waiting for Ye Ning to answer, Zheng Shuyun joined in with the chorus, "You're here to play the harmonica, right?"
They all knew that Ye Ning came from Shangougou. What kind of musical instruments could be found in Shangougou? Being able to play a harmonica would be pretty good.
Ye Ning looked at the sarcastic smiling faces. It had been so long since they started writing, but these people still didn't know how she got into the musical instrument band?
The next second she replaced her answer with action and walked straight towards the lonely piano not far away.
When Zheng Shuyun saw her sitting in front of the piano, the expression on his face suddenly collapsed.
It's not what she thought, right?
"Why is she sitting there? She can't be a pianist, right?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The entire training hall exploded.
This piano was moved from the hall just a few days ago, but they also knew that the pianist was ill half a year ago, and this position has been vacant since then.
Although some people who could play the piano came over and wanted to give it a try, they were all rejected by group leader Lin Qing.
The group leader's attitude towards pianists has always been one of "preferring to play the piano", and everyone believed that Ye Ning would never be able to play the piano skillfully.
Ye Ning heard everyone talking negatively about her, and some even asked whether she was out of her mind. She just thought it was ridiculous.
"Don't you have to rehearse? You can start now."
A simple sentence made everyone shut up immediately.
A pair of wide eyes looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.
Zheng Shuyun's eyes were shaking violently, and he felt even more unbelievable.
"Are you the new pianist?"
Although his subconscious was extremely resistant, Ye Ning was sitting there firmly now.
"Yes." Ye Ning gave an affirmative answer under the gazes of his eyes.
Everyone looked at each other.
The fat girl they have always looked down upon is actually a pianist? !
Isn't this ridiculous?
But a pianist can't fake it. If he can't play, he just can't play.
"can we start?"
Ye Ning calmly confirmed with Zheng Shuyun again.
She knew that if Xu Mingyu wasn't here, Zheng Shuyun would be the one who had the final say.
From this moment on, Zheng Shuyun began to put away his contempt for Ye Ning, and even his expression became much more serious.
"Okay, we can start. But are you sure you can keep up? Don't drag down everyone's progress by then!"
Ye Ning smiled slightly, and his fat and swollen cheeks were filled with a look of confidence.
"Would it be a drag on everyone? We'll find out if we try it?"
Zheng Shuyun's breathing was stagnant, and a strange emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.
She tried her best to ignore Ye Ning, and then signaled to everyone around her: "Keep practicing!"
They have been practicing this piece together for several days and are already able to play it skillfully. Now, as long as the piano part can keep up with the rhythm, it will be in perfect condition.
But no one, including Zheng Shuyun, thought Ye Ning could do it.
The previous coordination was flawless, and finally when it came to the piano part, everyone's nerves became tense.
They didn't want to believe that Ye Ning could do it, but they hoped that Ye Ning could.
When the first sound of the piano sounded, Zheng Shuyun's expression changed.
Perfect cut, no trace of unfamiliarity.
The melodious piano music spread slowly on Ye Ning's fingertips, stunning everyone in the hall.
At this moment, Ye Ning became the center of attention again. This time, there was no ridicule or questioning, only unbelievable shock.
Every note played by Ye Ning was accurate, and even the rhythm was impeccable.
Zheng Shuyun suddenly came back to his senses, a look of excitement appeared on his beautiful face, and he also played the violin.
The others seemed to have been injected with a stimulant, and they all started to move.
The sounds of all the instruments blend together perfectly to create a gorgeous movement.
"This voice is..."
Xu Mingyu in the corridor heard the music coming from the training room, his eyes lit up, and he took a few steps quickly for fear of missing the best part.
