Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: The Continuous Influx of Work

SWING restaurant hadn't been this lively in a long time.

Guests put down their utensils and sincerely applauded the high school student playing the piano.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was cheerful.

Meanwhile, a settlement interface appeared in front of Lin Tian.

[Task completed - Play a piece of music with any instrument and receive praises from more than 10 people]

[Reward: Music Memory Enhancement Card]

A magical feeling washed over his brain.

It's back!

Everything's back!

Works of music from his past life memories continuously flowed into his mind.

Even,

As long as he had heard it, even if it was just a line of lyrics, or a melody.

Complete music memories would also appear in his mind.

Including the background of the music and the author's information.

Didn't expect this system to also have smart repair capabilities.

Like AI image enlargement.

Lin Tian got up from the piano, smiled, and nodded to all the guests who applauded him in gratitude.

However, he declined requests from some enthusiastic guests who asked for "one more song."

After all, the task was already completed.

No need to work for free.

Returning to the counter, Xu Yong and a few other colleagues who were resting immediately gathered around him.

"Geez, Tian! My Tian! Damn! You are so freaking awesome!!"

Xu Yong hugged Lin Tian's arm, marveling,

"How did I not know you had this skill! You look so cool playing the piano!"

"I just learned it recently." Lin Tian pulled his hand back.

Such a quick change of face!

He almost had a righteous split with him just now.

The other colleagues, who usually didn't interact much with Lin Tian.

But now, they all crowded around.

"Lin Tian, I used to tease you for only getting a high salary because of your looks, but now it seems you really should earn more than us!" One male colleague even exaggerated his speech.

The other two female colleagues also took advantage of the lively atmosphere to gather by his side.

"Lin Tian, what was the name of the song just now? It sounded so good!"

"Lin Tian, teach me about feelings sometime... whoops! I mean, teach me piano...."

"Maybe, maybe."

Lin Tian, who seldom socialized, did not like to deal with these things much, so he perfunctorily replied a few times and then excused himself.

A piano performance had unexpectedly made him such a focal point.

The charm of music, astonishing.

No wonder so many people like to play music in college.

It's really great for wooing girls.

Just being at the "silver" level was already so exaggerated.

It looks like there's still a lot of potential to develop this skill.

"Lin Tian!"

Just then, Manager Wang walked over.

Lin Tian felt uneasy inside.

He had just left his post without permission, fearing that this stingy manager would come to find fault with him.

"Lin Tian, the performance just now was fantastic!"

Unexpectedly, Manager Wang came over, warmly grabbed Lin Tian's shoulder, and laughed heartily.

"I'll raise your wage to 45, and you can come over every evening if you're free, what do you think?"

Lin Tian looked at the manager suspiciously.

"Of course, you just need to play piano during the dinner rush for one hour each evening!"

Sure enough, Manager Wang added a condition.

Raising the hourly pay by 5 yuan, just to exploit a pianist.

He really knows how to calculate!

However, the most important thing was that Manager Wang offered conditions for a long-term job.

Because part-time high school students like Lin Tian had very few shifts, possibly only coming to work once or twice a week.

If able to come every day, a part-time job at an hourly rate of 45 would really take off.

Even working three hours every day, one could earn a monthly wage of 3-4k.

Although this job might not be enough in a big city like Qingzhou, but for a student like Lin Tian, it was definitely sufficient.

"I'll think about it."

Although tempted, Lin Tian still spoke rationally.

After all, he was someone who was about to do big things, and he also needed to spend a lot of time on Yanyu.

For such a small amount of money, spending all his time working in a restaurant wasn't worth it.

"Don't think about it, Lin Tian, how about I raise it to 48....."

"Hey, young man!"

Before Lin Tian could finish talking to Manager Wang.

From table number 12 far away, a guest waved to Lin Tian.

Seeing that a customer specifically called for Lin Tian, Manager Wang couldn't stop him anymore.

Lin Tian could only let himself swiftly walk up.

He approached the table.

"Can I help you with anything?"

At the table, there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and dressed neatly.

After Lin Tian walked over, this middle-aged man immediately glanced at the young man with a scrutinizing look.

"Can I have a word with you?"

"Ah?"

Lin Tian was taken aback.

He was used to being hit on by female customers, but it was the first time a male customer did this.

"Let me introduce myself."

The middle-aged man took out a business card and placed it on the table.

[SYC Music Agency]

[Music Department Director: Zhong Weian]

"I am Zhong Weian, the music department director of SYC."

Lin Tian took the business card.

"SYC?"

"Yes, you can think of it as a music agency; we specialize in discovering professional musicians—have you never come across such a company?"

"No."

Zhong Weian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and showed a kind smile:

"Your performance was truly stunning. Can I ask, what is the name of the piece you just played? I've been in this industry for many years, and I've never heard such a beautiful composition!"

"Dream Wedding."

"Dream Wedding? Which famous composer wrote it?"

"I did."

Lin Tian said very straightforwardly.

Rather than making up a bunch of nonsense, it's better to boldly "admit" it.

Yes, it was me, Lin Tian, I wrote it myself.

It actually saves a lot of trouble in explaining later.

Zhong Weian's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Are you sure? It wasn't written by one of your teachers who credited you?"

"If you pay, I can perform several more pieces of this quality for you."

After getting the Memory Enhancement Card, Lin Tian was totally no bluff in composition.

Hearing this, Zhong Weian couldn't hide the excitement and joy on his face anymore.

He hurriedly stood up, shakily supporting himself with the table.

"What... what's your name?!"

"Lin Tian."

"Lin Tian, little brother... no, Mr. Lin Tian, would you be interested... in collaborating with our company and pursuing a career as a professional pianist?"

"We can provide you with a complete career plan, arrange performance opportunities, and assist you in participating in music competitions!"

"With us, your musical talent can be fully showcased, and you can become a true musician!"

The middle-aged man completely lost his composure and was spitting vehemently.

"This...."

Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless.

A music agency?

Was this... getting scouted by a talent agent?

How comes after one piano piece, after the manager came to me, now comes some music director.

Why does everyone want to arrange a job for me?!

Doesn't anyone consider my identity as a high school student?

Starting from the Producer system setting, Lin Tian couldn't possibly go solo.

By all means,

Right now, he didn't have that much time for other things; he needed to reserve some time for his partner.

"My current primary goal is to get into a university, I'm not that interested in these things yet."

Lin Tian said.

"That's... true, after all, you are still a high school student."

Hearing this, Zhong Weian also calmed down quite a bit.

After all, for a student, placing the college entrance examination first is absolutely the right thing to do.

He sat back down and took a sip of tea.

"Then... could you please keep my business card?"

"I'm not in a rush, if you ever change your mind, you can contact me anytime."

"Sure."

That was fine with Lin Tian, as he didn't mind having an additional option for the future.

He took the business card and put it in his pocket.

Just then.

Xu Yong hurried over.

"Lin Tian, someone is looking for you!"

Again?

Lin Tian felt numb.

How many people want to offer me a job today?!

Didn't I already say, I need to save time for my partner....

"It's a girl." Xu Yong said, "She brought snacks, you really should go die!"
