Chapter 476 The Silent Four Singers
"That's all." Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Tilan looked at herself in the mirror.
Because she was going to report on the scene today, she changed into a newly bought forest-style dress. The color of this dress was light green with a few white floral decorations.
"Well, put this on." Orles handed over a pair of woven bracelets from the side. The color was fresh, as if they were woven from freshly picked branches and vines, with a few white flowers on them.
"This." Tilan felt that this pair of bracelets was not an ordinary object. The faint vitality and weak magic from it showed that it was an extraordinary creation, and the branches and flowers were still alive.
"When I endorsed the company before, they gave it to me. I still have a lot of this kind of jewelry. Tilan will accept it." Knowing what Tilan was thinking, Orles explained.
"Thank you." Tilan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she still accepted it. If it were someone else, she might not accept such a valuable thing, but for Orles, it was indeed a very casual thing.
‘Fairywood Bracelet’ (Golden Grade Creation): It is woven from extraordinary alpine fairywood plants. After being processed with special techniques, it can remain fresh for a long time. You only need to wear it on your hand and occasionally replenish a little natural magic. It can enhance the magic manipulation of the natural sequence and use it to perform spells such as ‘Bundle Wood into Swords’, ‘Vine Net’ and ‘Magic Flower Blooming’.
After matching their clothes, the two went out together and joined Blanche and Shui Yanqing.
“Tilan’s dress has really changed a lot today.” As soon as they met, the two talked about the huge changes in Tilan’s appearance and temperament.
Compared with Tilan, Orlesi, who was standing next to her, had a bun of golden hair today, with only two strands of hair hanging down on both sides of her ears. Compared with the silver-haired princess in the past, she looked more capable today, but her temperament was also more arrogant and not as friendly as usual.
“In fact, she is not very friendly on weekdays, but Orlesi is used to doing business and has been marinated.” Shui Yanqing complained venomously.
At first, she would pretend in front of Orles, but later she found that it was useless to pretend between singers, so she just said it openly. She didn't know whether Orles was happy or not, but she was indeed in a much better mood.
"Some people's jealousy is really ugly. I know you envy me." Orles didn't take it seriously. She was really arrogant, so arrogant that she didn't care about Shui Yanqing's remarks, and this attitude of neglect made Shui Yanqing particularly upset.
"Okay, okay, the two seniors, don't quarrel." Blanche intervened to smooth things over. She didn't understand why after six months of getting along, the relationship between the two not only didn't ease, but the conflicts became more and more serious.
Looking at this scene, Tilan could only sigh silently. These two really enjoyed fighting. You said they had a bad relationship, but apart from bickering, there was no other attack or tripping each other. But you said they had a good relationship, and these two were definitely speaking the truth and couldn't like each other.
"Okay, let's go to the scene by car first. We can just find a rental hover car today." The reason why they didn't choose Aoles or Shui Yanqing's own car was naturally because the car they drove was too luxurious, and according to the license plate number, it was easy to expose their identities.
The four of them walked to the side door of the campus, and there was already a hover car waiting there.
[The target is the 'Four Winds Hotel', are you sure? ]
"Confirmed, let's go." Tilan responded, and then the car started and drove the four people to the hotel in the fourth district of the center.
The Four Winds Hotel is one of the subordinate industries of the giant enterprise 'Four Wind Gods'. The 'Four Wind Gods' are very special. They are formed by the union of four companies. They protect their shares and marry each other. They are both independent and integrated. The four companies are all named after the four wind gods in mythology, namely Boreas, the god of the north wind, Notos, the god of the south wind, Orus, the god of the east wind, and Zephyrus, the god of the west wind.
After more than ten minutes of driving, the four people got off the car and arrived at their destination, in front of the 'Four Winds Hotel'.
"It's so big." Blanche exclaimed as she looked up at the tall building with hundreds of floors in front of her.
Each floor of the Four Winds Hotel is as big as a football field. The overall appearance is like an 'n'. The dome slowly retracts, and the internal structure is also very novel. The first half of the 1st to 20th floors are all connected to form a huge space. Two tall and lush trees are planted here. After entering the hotel gate, it seems like entering a giant country. The leafy arch formed by the two giant trees is right in front of you.
"It's really big. I read in the introduction that several floors are all water, and they have been transformed into beaches, islands and swimming pools." Tilan added. After hearing this, Blanche couldn't help but smack her lips.
The four walked in the empty lobby on the first floor. Although it is not open yet, they can already see many uniformed staff members. Some of them are helping some visiting guests to introduce, and some are rushing to deal with various preparations that have not been completed in the hotel.
"Room 3 on the 68th floor is missing a vase, and a corner of the mural in Room 12 on the same floor is blurred and needs to be repainted by the painter."
"The rooms on the 41st floor have been inspected, and all kinds of security facilities are qualified and can cope with the inspection of the inspection agency in three days."
"The guest who tried staying in Room 8632 left a message saying that there were not many types of fruits prepared for breakfast, and also suggested that we prepare three sets of beddings of different styles to facilitate guests to choose and change."
"He is so picky. We clearly prepared 87 kinds of meals in the morning, including 19 kinds of fresh fruits, but he still thinks it is not enough."
"This guest is a friend of Manager Ailian. It is said that he often travels between various star regions and has rich experience in staying in hotels." The companion beside reminded.
"Okay, okay, I know, let's write it down first, and tell the kitchen later. We are short of manpower now. Bring more fruits during the few days he stays. When he leaves, we will withdraw later."
Looking at these employees coming and going, the four of them were quite curious and fresh. Although they have experienced staying in hotels, this is the first time for the preparation stage, especially hearing the complaints of those staff members, which is quite interesting.
Seeing new unfamiliar faces in the hall, the foreman who just accepted the report from his companions came over.
"Hello, who are you four?" She glanced at the four people and made a brief judgment.
"We are here to participate in the symphony rehearsal." Shui Yanqing stepped forward, bowed first, and then introduced herself.
"Oh, it turns out to be the orchestra. They are now in the 'Golden Hall' on the fifth floor." After speaking, she looked around and called a colleague.
"Lulu, take them there to report. Oh, by the way, you need to register your identity first, because the hotel is too big, and people entering and leaving need to make notes." She found a handheld identity verification device and put it close to the wrists of the four people, so that she could easily read their personal information.
'Water Organ, Osley, Butch, Danterian, four ladies please~' After recording the information of the four people, she made a professional welcome gesture.
After leaving the lobby, the four followed the young girl named Lulu into the elevator and soon entered the fifth floor. After walking out of the elevator, you can see the huge tree trunk outside the guardrail.
"Let's go this way. There is also a light buoyancy board. After stepping on it, give the command and it will take you to your destination." After that, she took the four people to one side, where several buoyancy boards with semicircular guardrails were parked.
On the way, Lulu looked at the four people and asked curiously: "Are you students?" After all, this is Academy City, and young people are basically college students.
"Yes."
"That's great." She said with a little envy.
"I started working right after graduating from high school. Only two people in my class went to college."
The four of them didn't know how to respond, so they just nodded slightly.
"College tuition is expensive, but the future prospects are broader. For me, although my current job is not bad, the peak of my career is like a foreman. Managers and supervisors all graduated from prestigious universities." She shook her head.
"Don't be so discouraged. If you want to learn, you can save some money and take the exam later." Tilan comforted.
"Well, thank you. Actually, I'm not complaining. I used to have a headache with those complicated math problems. I guess it won't be very effective if I learn now."
"It's just that sometimes I still envy them unconsciously." After saying that, she continued to move forward and helped the four people open the side door of the concert hall.
Walking into the golden and red music hall, the sound of the music played in it came to the front. This space is specially designed so that the team performing on the stage can clearly spread the sound to the whole audience without generating interference echoes.
On the high platform, the orchestra was rehearsing at the moment, with about 300 musicians sitting, which was a magnificent performance.
Lulu led the four people through the seats of the concert hall and came to the front row. After talking to a familiar person in charge, the other party stood up and turned his head.
"Come with me." She had short dark purple shoulder-length hair, classical gemstone earrings on her ears, and wore a black suit.
Coming to the preparation room on the side of the concert hall and closing the door, there were already several people here. It seemed that they were all temporary substitutes. At this moment, they were familiar with the music score.
"I looked at your information and it is generally in line, but it still needs to be verified on the spot." Professional opening, it seems that she is probably the manager or external person in charge of the orchestra.
"Here are some spare instruments. You can use them gently and come one by one."
"Yes."
Then the four people looked at it and picked out the instruments they needed.
"First, you." She pointed to Orles.
Even after the four people changed their costumes, Orles's appearance was still eye-catching, and the pointed ears on the side of her face further indicated her identity as an elf.
Holding the violin in one hand and the bow in the other, Orles closed her eyes slightly, tried a few times, and soon got into the state.
It was amazing, Tilan was surprised when she listened to Orles's performance. This was the first time she saw Orles playing the violin, but she was extremely professional and her level was extremely high, even catching up with the level of 'Andusia'.
You know, when she first learned the violin from 'Andusia', Lady Isabella said that 'Andusia' was a musician in the first echelon of the Central Star Region before she retired.
Listening to this performance, the other people in the room stopped unconsciously, and then looked in the direction of Orles, seeing that this elf girl raised her neck slightly when she played, like a swan, and her golden hair seemed to be coated with a layer of sacred glory under the light.
After the song was finished, there was a round of applause in the room. Because everyone was studying music, they could understand the level of the performance.
"Very good, very good, very good." The manager clapped his hands and looked at Orlesi again.
"It's a pity that this performance has to follow the organizer's plan. Otherwise, if you were transferred to the stage to perform solo, the effect would be great." She said with a little regret.
Then the manager asked Orlesi many questions, such as which school she was attending, whether she would consider joining the orchestra in the future, what grade she was in now, etc.
"Thank you, but my family has already made arrangements, so I'm afraid I can't agree to your suggestion." Orlesi replied skillfully.
"I'm sorry." The manager also realized that this elf girl must have a rich family background, and this job was just for the sake of experiencing life.
In this case, she stopped bothering Orlesi and turned her eyes to the other three.
The second person to demonstrate was Shui Yanqing. Surprisingly, her performance was average, not particularly eye-catching, but not bad either.
In response, the manager nodded slightly and let the next person go.
Compared with Shui Yanqing, Blanche went all out this time. The only instrument she can play at present is the reed pipe, which she learned after entering college. Fortunately, she practiced diligently and barely met the requirements for ensemble this time.
"The last one is Miss Danterian." Compared with the others, Miss Danterian, who sat quietly and patiently, was very steady, which made the manager slightly fond of her.
Then Tilan placed the cello, sat on the chair and started playing. Her performance was much better than that of ordinary people, but it was not amazing, and she did not have the impact brought by Orles.
"Very good, Miss Danterian." The manager nodded with satisfaction.
"The four of you have passed. Here are the music scores. You can familiarize yourself with them first. You can rehearse a few times with the others in the room. Then in the afternoon, I will put you into the band for group rehearsal."
"Okay." The four agreed, and then the manager told the others in the room something and returned to the music hall.
After she left, the four sat together again and talked in a low voice.
"Orles is so stupid, performing at full strength at this time." Shui Yanqing said what happened just now.
"Why do you say that to me? What you just did is called a performance? You deliberately played so badly that it didn't even match your personality." Orles also responded and fought back.
The other three knew that Shui Yanqing's true level was definitely not what it was just now.
"Ordinary work, ordinary work. If you make it too eye-catching, it will easily cause trouble." Shui Yanqing said her thoughts.
"I like this naturally. Besides, why should I be afraid of trouble? They should be afraid of offending me." Orles fought back.
"Okay, okay." Blanche sighed and tried to mediate the two. This was considered a task and working time. It was not good to argue like this.
Perhaps it was the different growth experiences of the two people that created different values and personalities. Seeing that the two people were arguing again, Tilan suddenly thought of this problem.
"People around us are starting to notice us." When she spoke, the two people who were arguing stopped immediately.
Seeing that this trick worked, Tilan breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Orles to her side, nodded slightly to Shui Yanqing, and then separated the two.
"Let's practice first. It's rare to come out to experience work."
The three of them did not object at this time, but took out their instruments and began to get familiar with them.
Although there was suspicion of quarreling just now, Orles and Shui Yanqing have indeed changed a lot. Orles also lowered some of her strength during practice, and Shui Yanqing no longer deliberately concealed her shortcomings, and her level was much higher.
Time passed slowly, and other people in the room would occasionally peek at the four people. After all, even if they were disguised, three of the four were stunning. Even if Blanche was slightly inferior, she was still a very beautiful girl among ordinary people.
This continued until noon, when three boys who were practicing in the same room came over.
"Hello, do you want to have lunch together at noon? I know where the restaurant is." The leading boy was wearing an unbuttoned small suit and looked handsome. He spoke very familiarly.
Among the four people, Orles obviously looked down on the three boys who were tempted by beauty, but because Tilan was by her side, she didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so she turned her face away. Blanche didn't care much. If she came alone, she would probably agree, but since they were together this time, she would follow the opinions of the other three.
Shui Yanqing blinked her eyes and spoke.
"Can you tell me where the restaurant is? Otherwise, it's too much trouble for you."
"Uh, sure." Seeing that the four people didn't agree, the leading boy was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"I'll point it out to you." He took out his personal terminal and projected the location.
"With identity verification, you can eat for free. This hotel is very generous." He said, holding his personal terminal and approaching Shui Yanqing.
In response, Shui Yanqing took a half step back without noticing, still smiling and nodding to express her gratitude.
"Why don't we go together? It's just on the way." The other party invited again, and the two boys behind him also agreed, but they couldn't look away from Orles.
Today, Orles wore a silver-red dress, revealing her white shoulders and collarbones, which was particularly attractive.
"No, thank you." With a hand gently pressed on Orles's shoulder, Tilan stood up and blocked her.
The three wanted to say something, but Tilan shook her head again and didn't answer. At this point, the three left in dismay.
After waiting in the room for a few minutes, the four left and went to the restaurant that the boy mentioned just now.
"I'm so angry, if it wasn't..." As soon as she came out, Orles couldn't help but speak. If Tilan hadn't pressed her just now, she would have been angry.
"Did you not think that this would be the result when you wore clothes like that? Since you don't like that kind of gaze, just dress more conservatively. You are not a real princess. Do you still have to have others take care of your emotions every day?" Shui Yanqing still said with a venomous tongue.
"Ahem, Yanqing said it was a bit heavy." Tilan couldn't help but interrupt between the two of them.
Shui Yanqing, who knew it was a bit much, turned her head away. Although she usually complained about Oresi a lot, she was not so aggressive. After all, she also cared about her own image.
"It is true that I am not a real princess. After all, we are not in ancient times and there is no such position as princess. But if you dare to say such things in front of me again, I don't mind letting you understand what a princess is." Oreis raised her eyebrows. , what she said made Blanche on the side particularly scared.
After that, the four of them entered a state of silence and walked towards the restaurant silently.
Alas, it was just the first day of work together, and it turned out to be like this, Tilan sighed silently in her heart.
In the past, it was just study and play at school, and there was no direct conflict, but now it's work and business. The two people's different personalities and values immediately became incompatible.
No wonder the teacher said that truth can only be tested by practice. If it is so difficult to mediate between two people, then mediating the conflicts in the entire federation would be like going straight to the sky. Tilan couldn't help but feel a little disillusioned with some of her expectations for the future.
