Chapter 81

After BBC Philharmonic's concert, Vienna seemed to usher in the lively season of performance.

In just one week, Qi Mu watched four world-class orchestras' concerts with Akkad. From the Salt Lake City Symphony Orchestra and the Japanese NHK Symphony Orchestra to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Czech Symphony Orchestra. The auditory feast left Qi Mu's ears in an overwhelmed state, and he gained a lot of insight.

He used to live in Vienna, but when the other world-class orchestras were there to perform, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra also had their tour. So he always played elsewhere and missed their staggering concerts.

Being able to enjoy so many excellent concerts at once was not only a pleasure for Qi Mu but also an opportunity for him to temper himself and discover his short-comings.

Min Chen contacted him once and wanted to meet, but Akkad looked Qi Mu dead in the eyes and almost left with him.

One day, the poor Little Seven thought about it, and just as he started to mention the name "Min Chen," the grumpy maestro immediately said, "Oh, Little Seven. I didn't tell you this, but Auston is a bad one! Don't contact him anymore!"

Qi Mu: ". . ."

"Little Seven, although Auston has excellent music skills, he's not necessarily a good person. That little fellow Daniel is always calling him "The Devil." He must have an even worse temper than me!"

Qi Mu: ". . ."

So you know you have a bad temper. . .

Akkad scowled and said disdainfully, "Besides, his violin is far worse than yours! It's not good! It really is terrible! I don't think it's any better than Dylan's."

Qi Mu: ". . ."

To have an exclusive professor-level mentor, Dylan was very good, professor. . .

"So, as I was saying, Little Seven, you should only contact that guy for professional guidance in the future. I've been around for many years, but I don't know what he has hidden in his heart. That guy is bad, you should. . ."

"Teacher!" Qi Mu raised his hands in surrender and laughed. "I promise I will not secretly meet Min Chen again in the future."

Professor Akkad was relieved with Qi Mu's assurance. He whispered, "Good enough," before taking his lovely student off the subway to visit another of his old friends.

In his mind, although Auston seemed like a good guy. . . He was actually bad. If Little Seven was fooled by him, would he ever be able to escape?

This wouldn't do!

In the clear blue sky above, the breeze dispersed the clouds. Only a few large ones still hung against the blue backdrop like white gemstones.

Qi Mu followed his teacher. A smile flashed in his pale eyes, and his lips curled up. If he couldn't meet secretly. . .

Then why not meet openly?

How could Teacher have such prejudice against Min Chen?

--Qi Mu expressed his doubt for the 99th time.

. . .

The person Akkad brought Qi Mu to visit this time was another well-known violinist. After so many years of being immersed in classical music, people formed their own unique, mild temperament. Among the world-class virtuosos that he knew, apart from Professor Akkad and Mr. Evra. . .

It seemed most people had good tempers.

And what about Min Chen?

He was a gentleman!
