Chapter 298
“I am aware that everyone has great doubts about my capability. So I’ll tell you what: I’ll play a song, and we’ll use our capabilities to prove everything! How about that?”
Upon hearing that, everyone gazed at one another in silence, and they agreed to Tessa’s proposal in the end.
After a few minutes, Tessa adjusted the strings and put the violin on her shoulders.
“Hey, look at the violin in her hand. Isn’t that Nirvana that Maestro Flores once used?” Someone recognized the violin in Tessa’s hand, and there was a sudden uproar.
“I hope this woman’s capability is worthy of the famous Nirvana violin.”
As Tessa listened to the discussion around her, her initially quiet heart gradually became tense. Finally, she took a deep breath as she tried to mute the surrounding sounds. Then, she began to pull the bow against the violin’s strings.
The piece that Tessa would be playing this time was ‘Violin Concerto in D major.
Tessa knew that if she wanted these people to recognize her capability, she had to show them her skills. And ‘Violin Concerto in D major’ had very high requirements in terms of rhythm.
Accompanying the soft sound of the violin, the people who were previously discussing the matter of her ownership of such a famous violin immediately quieted down. Then, one by one, they closed their eyes and listened to her play.
Perhaps it was because of her nervousness that Tessa’s performance was not stable at first. Many people frowned, and some even looked derisive. Fortunately, Tessa did not see that. Otherwise, it would affect her performance even more.
Tessa, of course, also knew that she did not play well at the beginning. Therefore, she tried hard to adjust herself, while she played the piece. As she gradually got into a better headspace, the faces of the people who initially belittled her became serious. After all, to be an official member of the Berlin Philharmonic, every musician must have had the utmost talent in music.
As of this moment, they could all feel that Tessa’s musical talent was not inferior to any of theirs. On the contrary, even the emotions conveyed by Tessa’s musical sense were more powerful than theirs. The light and agile musical notes continued to sound in the studio, showing the fullest extent of cheerful, lively, and youthfulness.
As the song ended, Tessa let out a sigh of relief. Then, she put down her violin and bowed. “My performance is over.”
Clap! Clap! Scott was the first to clap in support. Then, the others came back to their senses and applauded her performance.
Listening to the round of applause, Tessa felt very relieved. It seems like I‘ve passed the challenge!
After the applause ended, Scott left his remarks for Tessa’s performance. “Compared to last time, your performance has improved a lot this time, especially emotionally. It feels complete this time.”
“Really?” Tessa looked back at Scott in surprise. Then, the smile on her face became even brighter. Like a tiny flower blooming in spring, Tessa’s dazzling smile made the others unable to take their eyes off her. Even Scott could not help but be mesmerized.
Meanwhile, Robert also made a decision. “I have decided that Tessa will take over the position of assistant concertmaster for tomorrow’s performance.”
At this moment, Tessa’s black eyes burst into a pure brilliance and joy.
“Thank you, Mr. Miller!” Tessa excitedly thanked Robert.
“Don’t mention it. Right now, time is money. You need to be familiarized with the repertoire by this afternoon and evening.”
After Robert decided to hire Tessa, he arranged training for Tessa vigorously and resolutely. He did not let Tessa relax for even a minute.
For the next whole day and night, Tessa spent her time rehearsing.
In the luxurious president’s office of the Sawyer Group, Nicholas, as usual, wore a black bespoke suit.
He was sitting at a large desk, and even so, one could still see his tall and straight body. At this moment, Nicholas’ domineering aura filled the entire office.
When Edward knocked on the door and entered, he could feel the invisible pressure circulating in the air. He straightened his mind, walked to the center of the office, and respectfully reported to Nicholas, “President Sawyer, the latest partner for our
branch in Europe requested to meet you before they agree to sign the contract.”
Nicholas frowned in displeasure. Noticing Nicholas” frown, Edward immediately explained to him, saying, “President Sawyer, he’s a member of Asiatic Inc. He wants to meet you because he also knows a lot about your achievements, in the hope of making friends with you.”
At the mention of that, Nicholas’ expression relaxed. The position of Asiatic Inc. in Europe is similar to Sawyer Group‘s position in Southend. Undoubtedly, befriending such people is very beneficial to our branch‘s development in Europe.
