Chapter 56: Shadows of the Metropolis

Li Yan felt that the task could almost be finished tomorrow.

Although he was very tired today, the progress was something he could feel tangibly.

"I've practiced enough today; come back for one more day tomorrow, and this piece will be no problem."

Teacher Wang was also very gratified; Li Yan ultimately had some music theory knowledge.

Plus, he practiced diligently, so the progress was quite gratifying.

It was just past four o'clock in the afternoon, but because Li Yan had practiced almost without stopping all day, he was still very tired.

Both mentally and physically, he was somewhat exhausted.

Li Yan checked the time on his watch and decided to leave it at that for today; he would come back to practice the piano tomorrow.

Teacher Wang had already left, and the two had agreed to continue tomorrow.

Li Yan stretched, pushed open the door of the piano room, and walked out.

The small tutoring class was already crowded, and piano sounds were coming from every room.

There were quite a few people coming to practice the piano during the summer vacation, and Li Yan was just one of them.

Li Yan walked toward the lobby of the tutoring class, wanting to say hello to Wang Wanjun before going home. Tonight, Li Yan planned to get a massage to reward himself.

After all, the morning exercises and the piano practice today had indeed made him quite exhausted.

Finding some pretty girls to give him a massage was better for relaxation~

As for which number to choose, Li Yan didn't know, and he didn't need that kind of thing.

The front desk seemed a bit noisy, but Li Yan didn't take it to heart; after all, there must be many people coming to consult during the summer vacation.

After walking a few steps, Li Yan saw Wang Wanjun standing by the front desk.

Honestly, every time he saw Wang Wanjun, he would have a real, striking sense of being hit by her beauty.

Regardless of whether you had seen her or not, seeing her again, you would still be stunned by that beautiful and clear face.

The girl at the front desk was also by Wang Wanjun's side, looking at the two middle-aged men in their thirties or forties in front of her with an impatient expression.

And because Wang Wanjun's expression couldn't be seen clearly from this direction, Li Yan felt that Wang Wanjun might be busy, so he would just say hello and leave; anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities later.

It was just that as Li Yan walked closer, some of the sounds he heard made his face look a bit unpleasant.

"Little girl, can you go to the coffee shop next door to sit for a while and explain the course to me in detail?"

"The detailed situation has already been explained to you clearly; if you have any questions, just look at the promotional flyer!"

"Oh, I wasn't talking to you, why are you interrupting? Isn't it that I don't understand?"

"That's right, little girl, we all want to sign up for the most expensive one; give us some face and go sit for a while, and by the way, make friends with Li Ge?"

Two greasy middle-aged men who looked to be in their thirties or forties, one with a big belly and one who was somewhat bald.

Among them, the thirty-something bald middle-aged man was blocking the girl at the front desk while implicitly taking the big-bellied man named "Li Ge" as the leader.

And Wang Wanjun was cold-faced, her slender, snow-white hands gripping a stack of promotional flyers on the front desk, and faint blue veins appeared more obviously on the back of her snow-white hands because of the force.

Wang Wanjun had distributed flyers all afternoon, and looking at the time on her Redmi phone, it was already four o'clock, thinking that the takeout would arrive soon.

She brushed back the hair on her forehead that had been dampened by sweat, and a few drops of sweat flowed down her tender, white face from that perfect jawline.

Looking at the few flyers left in her hand, she was still quite happy.

At the very least, in an afternoon, three guests who wanted to learn the piano had been introduced to the tutoring class by her.

In the WeChat message sent by the girl at the front desk the day before yesterday, she also said that two people had already paid on the spot, which was another quite considerable commission for her.

Maybe she could reach 6,000 yuan this month!

Go back! And then give the milk tea she ordered to Li Yan! She could be a little more relaxed today~

Wang Wanjun was in a good mood, and her mood after being tired and sun-drenched all day became even better.

It was just that on the way back to the store, she didn't expect to meet two middle-aged men.

In her impression, it seemed she had already distributed flyers to the two of them. She remembered it very clearly, because the look in their eyes made Wang Wanjun feel very disgusted.

Very cliché, and for Wang Wanjun, a very common plot unfolded like this.

Just returned to the store, before her colleague at the front desk could finish congratulating her, the two greasy men who followed her to the door came.

Come if they want; what they looked like and whether they learned the piano had something to do with her, and the others were irrelevant.

Wang Wanjun thought so.

It was just that what Wang Wanjun didn't expect, or didn't want to think about, was that the two greasy men stood at the front desk and asked for more than half an hour.

The meaning in their words was to ask her to go to the coffee shop next door or the restaurant next door to have a meal, and then explain it to this person named Li Ge in detail.

Could Wang Wanjun not know what was going on?

The girl at the front desk was also angry.

What era was it? It was 2023, and you were playing this set in front of a Sichuan girl?

If it weren't for the fact that most of what the other party asked was about piano tutoring classes, the girl at the front desk would have called someone to drive them away long ago.

Even so, after half an hour of dawdling, the girl at the front desk also knew that the other party was purely coming for Wang Wanjun!

Wang Wanjun stood there with a cold face, seemingly a bit helpless. Such a situation hadn't happened rarely since she was in high school.

At that time, her mother protected her, and her head teacher protected her.

Now she had come to Shudu alone, her salary was still pressed in the store, and she didn't know anyone.

What should she do if she turned against them?

Could she continue to work?

Would her salary be paid to her?

And these two greasy men looked like they had a little money; an LV big logo belt was tied around the greasy Li Ge, who looked like he was eight months pregnant, which looked disgusting.

Wang Wanjun didn't dare to gamble on whether this tutoring class would stand on her side if she turned against them.

Her tuition fees, the money for her computer, and her living expenses were all tied to the salary here...

Wang Wanjun felt she was very helpless; if only her best friend were here, she was the only person she knew in this big city of Shudu where she had no sense of belonging.

Wang Wanjun felt she was like a little girl from a mountain village thrown into an international metropolis, looking at the lights and wine and paper-gold-intoxicated surroundings, but she was living carefully in the shadows of the metropolis.

Even her emotions had to be hidden; otherwise, would there really be a place for her in this big city?

Wang Wanjun wasn't a pretentious person, and her past experiences made her quite strong.

But today, in this big city of Shudu that she feared, the grievances she encountered seemed to be about to explode suddenly.

She just felt her nose sour, and her heart was very blocked... ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
