Chapter 1309 Why Not Drink It If You're Going?
After finishing the tea class, Su Xing said to everyone, "There are still quite a few Linhu Que She teas in the tea room. Everyone can drink as much as they want. Those who didn't get to drink some today can go to the tea room to brew some for themselves after work."
"Thank you, Mr. Su!"
"This tea is good, I like it, I will drink more of it."
The employees were very happy.
They checked the tea that Su Xing brought to the studio, and it was all top-quality tea.
Prices often range from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, with some even costing tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram.
They wouldn't normally buy this tea for themselves; it would be too expensive.
They've become much more serious about their tea classes because of these fine teas.
Some people who didn't have the habit of drinking tea before have now developed the habit.
Such expensive tea shouldn't be missed!
Finally, Su Xing pondered for a moment and then said, "It just so happens that some new teas are hitting the market now. I was thinking of taking everyone to visit the core production areas of some famous teas so that we can experience the local tea culture firsthand. This would be more inspiring for our creative work. However, I have to teach classes and go to tea-producing areas during the week, so I will definitely have to choose a day off. Anyone who wants to go can do so voluntarily. There will be a salary and allowance for business trips."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they were all eager to try it out.
This is a paid, company-funded trip! If they have the time, they'd still be happy to go out with their boss.
Yuan Lei raised his hand, "President Su, me! I want to go!"
Li Yinuo quickly said, "Yuan Lei, it's inconvenient for you to go out as a boy. President Su, please take me with you!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Lei glared at Li Yinuo, "Why is it inconvenient? How can you be so sexist?!"
The other employees in the video also seemed very interested.
Zhang Xueyan pushed up her glasses and said, "Let's take turns going, and try to give everyone a chance to go out."
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped arguing.
Huang Wenwen, resting her chin on her hand, also said, "It seems quite interesting..."
Su Xing looked at Huang Wenwen and said, "You are the scriptwriter and one of the core members of the creation team. Unless there are special circumstances, you will definitely have to go with us."
Huang Wenwen, “...Okay.”
It seems her free time is going to be squeezed again.
To other employees, Su Xing is a good boss; to her, he's just a skinflint...
Su Xing had said she would try her best not to make everyone work overtime to attend tea classes, but she has been too busy since the start of the semester and sometimes can't teach on weekdays.
The tea ceremony was scheduled for a rest day, which was fine for Li Yinuo and Yuan Lei, who were already at work making up for lost hours, as the tea ceremony time was counted as part of their working hours.
However, for employees who are on normal rest days, attending tea classes in video conferences is also considered working overtime.
You can choose to ask for overtime pay, or have your class time deducted from your workdays and be allowed to leave work early.
Everyone unanimously chose to take the overtime pay.
……
Sunday.
Su Xing got up early.
After morning exercise and walking the dog, and having breakfast, it was only a little before seven o'clock.
She first opened her notebook and worked on the drawing for more than two hours.
The amount of work she accomplished in just over two hours was almost equivalent to what others do in a short day.
After snapping out of her immersive work state, she got up, shook her neck, twisted her waist, and stood by the window for a while, looking down at the scenery in the community from above, letting her eyes rest.
After resting for a while, Su Xing shut down the computer and went out.
She went to Peking University and headed straight to the laboratory.
She planned to repair that ancient book to refresh her mind.
Su Xing spent another two hours working in the lab.
She only snapped out of her work mode when her stomach started rumbling and she realized she was empty inside.
Just then, a senior student walked over and asked her, "Su Xing, it's noon, are you going to have lunch?"
Su Xing smiled at the other person and said, "Okay."
The senior student said, "Let's go, together."
"Wait a moment, I'll pack my things away."
"Okay, no rush."
As she spoke, the senior student buttoned up her coat.
Su Xing tidied up his workbench, locked up the ancient book, and put on his coat.
The two went to the cafeteria for lunch together.
The senior student chatted with Su Xing while eating, occasionally swiping her phone.
She suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my!" and said, "Junior Su, is this you?"
Su Xing leaned closer to look at his senior's phone screen.
She was photographed by a passerby while exchanging ideas about the bamboo flute with fans near Fengqiao Bridge in Suzhou a while ago.
Su Xing said somewhat embarrassedly, "How did it get posted online again..."
The senior student laughed, "This video is quite popular. I've seen videos of you playing the flute before."
Su Xing gave an awkward laugh, "Is that so..."
"Yes! I've seen videos of you playing the flute, and I've also seen you playing the erhu!"
Su Xing: "...I was just playing around."
It feels quite embarrassing to discuss the video of yourself being filmed face-to-face with someone.
She initially thought she was already a top employee, but sometimes she realized that she still had a long way to go to reach that level...
The senior student said, "I'll save this video for later and watch it slowly when I get back."
She wasn't wearing headphones, and the video was quite long, so it wasn't convenient to watch in the cafeteria.
Then she asked Su Xing, "By the way, how long have you been learning these folk music instruments?"
Su Xing mumbled, "About the past year or so..."
"You really have a great talent!" the senior student exclaimed. "Actually, studying folk music is quite good. We study cultural relics and murals, which are related to folk music in terms of tracing origins, mutual verification, revitalization and inheritance, and aesthetic integration. For example, the unearthed ancient musical instruments, such as the Jiahu bone flute, the Zeng Hou Yi chime bells, the Chu-style lacquered zither, the Tang pipa, and the konghou, directly restore the shapes and manufacturing techniques of musical instruments from ancient times to the Tang and Song dynasties. In addition, the tomb murals, musical and dance figurines, and bamboo and wooden slips documents unearthed along with the musical instruments also verify the ancient musical system and performance forms..."
Su Xing's eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be linked to archaeology?!
Although the traditional musical instruments we play today are quite different from the ancient instruments in terms of form and musical structure, learning more about the development and origins of traditional musical instruments and musical scales can actually help us to more truly touch the historical context behind these traditional skills. This adds a unique layer of understanding to both the artifacts in cultural relics museums and future creative endeavors.
Su Xing gave his senior a thumbs up and sincerely praised her, "Senior, you're amazing! Your thinking is so insightful!"
This time it was the senior's turn to feel embarrassed. She said, "Oh dear, it's a pity. I don't have any talent for music. I can't learn anything. I can only envy people like you who are so talented..."
