Although he made a fool of himself during the rehearsal on stage, Wen Xi's overwhelming guitar performance received 1,100 shock points, so the scolding was not in vain.
Wen Xi did not go back to the hotel directly, but took a taxi to the nearest music store.
She planned to buy an acoustic guitar. After returning to the hotel, she would go to the KTV room to practice the instrument madly. After she had mastered the guitar chords completely, she would use a real guitar to get a feel for it.
Yueyin Music Store.
This music store is very large, with the first floor about 150 square meters.
Through the bright glass outside the music store, you can see the musical instruments displayed under the warm yellow light lying there quietly, creating a very artistic atmosphere.
Wen Xi, fully armed with a hat and mask, pushed open the glass door. The owner of the music shop was very prompt and greeted her: "Hello, do you need to sign up for a class or buy an instrument?"
At this time, the glass door behind Wen Xi was pushed open. The boss saw the person coming and immediately greeted him: "Hey, Shi Yue! You came just in time!"
"This customer wants to pick out an acoustic guitar. Can you help me check? I have a student who's waiting for a one-on-one lesson!"
"Beautiful lady, this is our store's shopping guide. He has three years of band touring experience and he's very professional."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Wen Xi turned around and saw the guy in the baseball cap standing at the door. He felt that he looked familiar.
Although Wen Xi was wearing a hat and a mask, the clothes he was wearing were still the same ones he wore during the music festival rehearsal. Coupled with his outstanding temperament, Shi Yue quickly recognized that this was Wen Xi.
Can't I borrow the guitar from the band?
Could it be that Wen Xi heard the other band members talking about him behind his back?
Thinking of the nasty words said by those people in the band, Shi Yue frowned.
After organizing his words in his mind, he said to Wen Xi, "Do you have any specific purchasing needs?"
Wen Xi touched his chin: "The sound quality is stable, and it comes with a power box."
Shi Yue: "What's the budget?"
When Wen Xi heard the word "budget", his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Oh no, he didn't have any cash in his pocket.
Although he is now a small shareholder of Chef Li's Catering, the process has not been completed yet and his program salary has not been paid yet. He looks bright and shiny on the surface, but his pockets are cleaner than his face.
"Um... one thousand?"
Wen Xi saw the young man's stunned expression after hearing her quote, so she quickly added, "Can we rent a good quality one?"
Shi Yue hadn't expected Wen Xi to have fallen so far, only able to rent musical instruments. He sighed inwardly. Come to think of it, Wen Xi had been obscure for three years, and now it had only been less than a week since he became popular online. It was too late for him to cash in on his fame.
Shi Yue was still very polite: "It seems that our music store doesn't have the business of renting musical instruments."
Wen Xi was a little disappointed when he heard this, but this was expected. After all, the pianos were all being sold brand new.
Just when Wen Xi was struggling with whether to ask someone for money, she heard Shi Yue say, "But I can ask the boss for you."
Wen Xi's eyes lit up under the brim of his hat for a moment: "Thank you! There are not many good people like you these days!"
When Shi Yue saw Wen Xi, he thought of his own embarrassing situation. His bass was broken and he missed the opportunity to perform at a star concert. He decided to help if he could!
"Just sit there and wait for me."
After saying this, Shi Yue turned around and went upstairs.

The second floor of the music store.
Shi Yue said tentatively, "Boss Ni, that customer asked if he could rent an acoustic guitar with an electric box."
Upon hearing Shi Yue's words, Boss Ni picked up the drumsticks in his hand and pretended to hit Shi Yue: "Lend? You're asking for such a weird request on her behalf?"
"I won't do such a hassle as renting musical instruments!"
Shi Yue: "The artist will use it at the Daoxiang Music Festival tomorrow. It will only be used for one day."
As soon as Shi Yue said this, Boss Ni's expression suddenly changed: "Daoxiang Music Festival?!"
He instantly changed into the tone of an avid fan: "Which artist? Is it that talented young musician He Nian?"
"Could you please get me an autograph from him?"
"I can give him the guitar! He can pick any guitar I have here!"
Shi Yue didn't dare to say it was Wen Xi. When he was working, he accidentally learned that Boss Ni's daughter was madly pursuing Chi Anna, the then C-position contestant on a talent show three years ago, and was the leader of Chi Anna's voting group that year.
During the night of voting for the final group, he even secretly sold Boss Ni's beloved piano to Chi Anna to vote.
Boss Ni was so angry that he smoked on the rooftop all night.
When Wen Xi topped the trending list of college entrance exam videos, Boss Ni was still cursing in the store: "None of the talent show stars are good!!!"
If he said that it was Wen Xi who came downstairs to borrow the piano, Boss Ni would probably rush out and fight her to the death.
Shi Yue said mysteriously, "The production team asked for this to be kept secret."
"Anyway, this artist plays a crucial role in the show, he's a big shot."
Everyone calls him Director Wen, so why isn’t he considered the big boss?
Boss Ni gave him an "I understand" look, then pointed to the south wall full of guitars: "Take whatever you want over there, they're all good stuff."
The wall on the south side was decorated with items that belonged to Boss Ni. Shi Yue was delighted and was about to go get some when he heard Boss Ni say, "But I still need you to guarantee this loan. If anything happens to my piano, you can forget about this job."
Shi Yue paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

After about fifteen minutes, he jumped back to the first floor, holding a guitar with a body made of good quality wood.
Even a layman like Wen Xi could tell that this guitar was worth a lot of money: "How much does it cost to rent it for a day?"
Shi Yue showed the store's payment code: "150 a day."
After Wen Xi scanned the code to pay, Shi Yue handed her the rental receipt: "Okay, remember to return it the day after tomorrow morning."
"This is my WeChat. You can add me and consult me if you need anything."
After Wen Xi added Shi Yue on WeChat, Shi Yue handed the guitar bag to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi was puzzled: "Don't I need to pay a deposit or sign a contract?"
Shi Yue shook his head: "I guarantee you."
There was a flash of shock in Wen Xi's eyes. When she jumped up the stairs just now, she remembered that this young man was a member of the music festival band.
We only met twice, and he dared to guarantee me?
"My guarantee is a token of my allegiance."
Shi Yue saw Wen Xi stunned, and spoke after hesitating for a moment.
"My name is Shi Yue, Miss Wen, can you remember me?"
“I can play many instruments and I can also arrange music.”
Shi Yue didn't know where he got the courage to guarantee Wen Xi, but the confidence in Wen Xi gave him a sense of conviction, the kind of conviction that emanated from a strong person.
Wen Xi played the guitar so badly during the rehearsal, with so many eyes staring at him, any other person would have covered their face and walked off the stage in shame.
