Chapter 197 She Is My Girlfriend

Because they were going to Grolev's house as guests, Bob and the others also needed to buy some small gifts. Although they only needed to express their gratitude, they also needed to put some thought into it. In order not to delay their plan to go shopping for sex, several people unanimously requested He acted separately from Gao Yang and urged Gao Yang to go faster.

There are always many food stalls and hourly rooms near every school, and as the Lincoln Center for the Arts is on Broadway, there should not be too many shops selling musical instruments. Gao Yang walked for ten minutes and found at least four or five. Musical instrument shop, but Gao Yang remembered Morgan's words, that is, if you want to buy top-quality musical instruments, you must go to a store that specializes in selling such musical instruments.

Gao Yang wanted to buy a violin, so he had been looking for a store that specialized in selling violins. On the road, he stopped a person who was carrying a violin case and asked where there was a store that specialized in violins. Soon, he found a store very far away from the Lincoln Center for the Arts. I found a shop specializing in violins nearby.

Pushing open the glass door of the store, Gao Yang entered the store and took a look around. He found that there were only violins in the store. Although the store was not very big, there were not many violins placed on the walls and stands. In addition, there were only a few cellos, and Gao Yang did not imagine that the shelves were full of violins. However, this situation also shows that the products in this violin store are not mass merchandise.

There were not many people in the store, only two very old-looking old men were talking, and the other two were two clerks in suits and white gloves, and the clerks were quite old. Gao Yang just walked in and stood for a moment. A gray-haired clerk walked up to Gao Yang. Smiling: "Welcome, sir. How can I help you?"

Gao Yang stretched out his hand in the store and said, "I want to buy a violin, can you introduce it to me?"

The old man smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course, do you have any requirements?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about the violin, so I can't make any requests."

After the old man was silent for a moment, he still said with a smile: "Sorry. Sir, can I ask you what you want to buy the violin for? I'm sorry, I have no malice and no intention to offend you. I just want to say that we sell it here. The pianos are all handmade and expensive. If you are a beginner, these pianos are not suitable and are a waste for you and the piano.”

This was the first time that Gao Yang saw someone selling things based on the level of the customer, but Gao Yang wouldn't be angry about it. The person also had good intentions, and immediately said: "Oh. I bought it as a gift, for my girlfriend. She is a student at Juilliard School of Music. I want to buy a piano for her."

"Ah, Juilliard student, that's no problem, sir, your girlfriend is so lucky, please come with me, as a young student, I think this violin should be suitable, this one The violin was made by an Italian luthier.

Although this luthier is not very famous now, his works have deep and rich tones, which are very suitable for ensembles and can be used as performance instruments. If your girlfriend is still a student, I think this should be suitable for her. For sale The price is $8,000, and I personally think the price is right. "

Gao Yang didn't understand the violin at all, but Yelena played it to him once, and he at least remembered Yelena's sound when she played.

"Can you please play this violin and let me listen? I want to hear whether it is consistent with my girlfriend's style. Sorry, I don't know the violin, so I can only tell whether this violin is suitable for her."

"Of course, it's an honor to help you."

The clerk didn't talk nonsense. He picked up the bow and started playing. However, Gao Yang shook his head repeatedly. After seeing Gao Yang shaking his head, the clerk quickly stopped again.

"Sorry, the sound of my girlfriend's violin, how should I put it, seems to be lighter, well, it feels louder and brighter."

The clerk smiled and said: "Is it louder and brighter? That is the piano suitable for solo. Sir, as a layman, I am a little surprised that you can hear the difference in the sound of the piano. It seems that your girlfriend often plays piano for you. Played.”

While speaking, the clerk stopped on a row of violin stands on the wall. After looking left and right, he reached out and was about to take one of the violins. At this time, he said Gaoyang: "Please wait a moment, can you give it to me?" Would you like to try that piano?"

Gao Yang didn't understand piano at all, so Gao Yang's principle was that the more expensive one was better, and he had only one way to identify it. When he saw the clerk picking up a violin with a price tag of fourteen thousand US dollars, he The most expensive one in the row of violins was $80,000, and Gao Yang felt that the violin selling for $80,000 was definitely better than the one priced at $14,000, so he stopped the clerk and then pointed his finger at the most expensive violin. on the violin.

The clerk chuckled lightly and said: "This piano is the work of the German luthier Peter Greiner, and this piano is indeed suitable for solo playing, but I must explain that if you order it from Greiner himself, The price of his works is generally between US$47,000 and US$57,000, but this requires a long wait, and this piano was ordered by a customer and then resold to our store, so the price It’s a bit high, but I have to say it’s quite reasonable because the second-hand price of Greiner’s works usually goes up a lot.”

Gao Yang nodded and said: "The price is not an issue, please give it a try."

After the clerk played the violin worth 80,000 yuan again, although he still couldn't understand it, at least the sound of the violin was almost the same as Gao Yang's impression.

"This is it, I bought it."

The clerk smiled and said: "You must love your girlfriend very much. Please come here, sir. Because it is a valuable item, I have to issue you a certification document. This will take a little time. You can sit down and drink." Have a cup of coffee.”

Gao Yang followed the clerk into a lounge in the store, sat down on a chair, and waited for the clerk to bring him a cup of coffee. The clerk sat opposite Gao Yang and took out a Form, smiled and said: "Sir. Would you like to pay by credit card or by check?"

When Gao Yang was about to say that he had to pay in cash. But he was surprised to find a very familiar figure walked into the store. He stood up immediately with excitement, staring blankly at the figure who walked into the store.

The person who came was none other than Yelena. Although he didn't know why Yelena appeared near the school at this time, Gao Yang made a decision in a short moment not to meet Yelena first, although Gao Yang really wanted to go out and meet her. Yelena said hello, but this way he could give Yelena a big surprise, but Grolev's surprise was in vain.

Yelena is dressed very ordinary. However, all the cheap goods could not hide her beauty. When Yelena walked into the store carrying the piano case, even the two old men stopped talking and looked at Yelena intently.

After seeing the two old men, Yelena was also surprised and excited. Then she talked to the two old men with a look of admiration, and then she took the piano case with her with a look of shock and reluctance. It was handed over to a clerk, and then the two old men continued to talk, but Yelena stood aside alone and began to look at a violin locked in a glass cabinet.

Although Gao Yang can see Yelena. But he couldn't hear what she was saying. At this time, Gao Yang was very excited. He had to restrain himself as much as possible, and it was very difficult to resist the urge to jump in front of Yelena.

Gao Yang was looking at Yelena, and Yelena looked at the violin with longing. She kept the same posture and looked at the violin for two minutes. During this time, even the expression on her face Nothing has changed, just staring at the locked violin intently.

It wasn't until the clerk who took Yelena's piano case came back to Yelena with a card and called several times that Yelena woke up as if from a dream, with a blush on her face, and took a card the clerk gave her. , and said a few words to those two old men, and left the store in a hurry.

Watching Elena leave, Gao Yang took a long breath and sat on the chair again. At this time, the clerk in front of Gao Yang said with a strange look: "Sir, can we continue?"

Gao Yang immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't want this piano anymore, please come with me, let's talk about this piano."

Gao Yang hurried out of the hut, stood where Yelena was just now, and looked at the violin locked in the glass cabinet.

The violin locked in the glass cabinet had no price tag. Gao Yang immediately said to the clerk who had just received Yelena: "I'm sorry, can you tell me what the girl just came to do?"

The clerk who received Yelena looked at Gao Yang with strange eyes, and said in a deep voice, "She's here to send the violin for repair and adjustment."

Gao Yang immediately raised his fist excitedly and said: "Great, can you tell me how much her piano is? Oh, no, what I want to ask is not how much it is, I want to ask about this locked piano and her piano. Is the style consistent? Is this violin suitable for her?"

The clerk who had been receiving Gao Yang said with a strange face: "Sir, if you plan to buy this piano and give it to the girl just now, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. First, we can't sell this piano to you. , Secondly, I was deeply impressed by the beautiful woman just now. She once announced to one of her suitors that she had a boyfriend in front of our store. However, the suitor may not want to give up and insisted on telling her in public. After that beautiful girl expressed her love, he was rushed to the hospital by that very beautiful girl, and I watched the whole process. Therefore, I think it is better for you to buy a piano as a gift to your girlfriend as originally planned. , Of course, the premise is that you didn't decide to turn your girlfriend into an ex-girlfriend just now."

Gao Yang understood why the clerk who received him looked weird. After he smiled modestly, he said in as calm a tone as possible: "I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood. I think I have to tell you that I am buying a piano." It’s for her, that’s right, that girl just now is my girlfriend.” (To be continued...)
