"You can contact the Sanremo Symphony Orchestra in Italy. I'm a good friend of their concertmaster."
Italy is right next to China, and the cross-border exchanges between the two countries' orchestras are just like the cross-provincial exchanges within the country. If Sanremo has a free time, Xia Yu will have fulfilled his promise to perform on the same stage with Maria.
The news from Sanremo came back very quickly. They were honored to accept the invitation to perform. The entire troupe will arrive in Stuttgart on time for joint rehearsal and contribute their own efforts to the environmental protection charity.
"Maria, we'll meet again in December."
Seeing that the deal was done, Xia Yu personally called Maria. The last time they met was in March, and half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
"Yes, Sherlock, how is your piano skill progressing? I have made a lot of progress."
With Xia Yu's Croall McEwen, Maria's violin attainments progressed rapidly, and she became well-known in the classical music circles throughout Europe. Many veteran symphony orchestras extended olive branches to her.
"Maria, I knew you could do it, but I'm really too busy. I could only spare a little time every day to practice in the first half of the year. I've been a little free recently, so I'm practicing harder!"
"You're so talented, I feel like I can look forward to it this time."
Maria felt that Xia Yu was being modest. As a close friend, she didn't know him yet. He was only 70% good at it, and he was a bit mean.
"Then you can look forward to my performance. My girlfriend will also be here this time and I will introduce her to you then."
Xia Yu mentioned Yin Suya. It’s not too much for such an outstanding person like him to have a few soulmates, a few confidantes, and a few... right?
We have to get to know each other eventually, and it would be best if he could introduce us. As a 70 billionaire, I have the confidence to do so.
"Oh? The last time I heard you say that, I was also quite curious about what kind of girlfriend you would look for!"
Maria expressed her interest in Yin Suya, and this time she had the chance to meet her.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone, and Xia Yu also put his energy back into practice. This concert was his first time as the protagonist, so he had to treat it with caution.
In the following days, Xia Yu focused on music, the listing process of Xia's Catering continued to advance, and interview invitations from the media piled up.
Among them were some well-known interview programs such as Lu Yu You Yue, but Xia Yu took a look at them and rejected them.
He doesn't want to talk a lot and then be answered with "Really? I don't believe it!" He doesn't care whether you believe it or not!
Xia Yu's purpose of accepting the interview is just to maintain popularity. If he can appear in print media, he should not appear on TV. It is enough for his real image to appear at the press conference.
By early November, a major magazine invited me for an exclusive interview.
"Times?"
Looking at the invitation, Xia Yu fell into deep thought.
To be precise, this is an invitation from the Asian edition of TIME. As one of the three major current affairs weeklies in the United States, TIME, founded in 1923, still has a strong international influence even today when print media is in decline.
Excluding celebrities who have the bonus of fame, the last mainland entrepreneur to appear on the cover of TIME Asia was President Li of Baidu, and this time it is Xia Yu's turn.
Xia Yu quickly looked at Mr. Li's ranking this year. He couldn't find him in the front, so he counted down from him to the fourth one.
No. 34, with a fortune of 65 billion, it has shrunk by 43% compared to 2018. It is no exaggeration to say that it has been a rollercoaster ride, and it also diluted Xia Yu's excitement when he received the invitation to an exclusive interview with Time magazine.
In 2018, Mr. Li became famous for AI, but in 2019, he has not yet produced any results. The pessimism of some investors has affected the stock price, so it is natural that his net worth has dropped.
Before he knew it, Xia Yu had surpassed Mr. Li. As far as he could see, there were not many people left.
"Boss, should we refuse the interview with Time?"
Xiao Wang stood beside Xia Yu and asked, the assistant team only gave suggestions, but he was the one who made the decision.
"Why refuse? We can use this interview with Times to expand the influence of Xia's Catering's listing."
Xia Yu did not change the plan. Time magazine is facing the world, which will give all potential investors greater confidence.
After accepting the interview, the Asian edition of TIME acted quickly and sent a reporter to Shanghai to meet Xia Yu at Chaolu Farm in the suburbs.
Xia Yu had his own selfish reasons for choosing a quiet and elegant farm instead of a bustling city.
October is still colorful, and on the evening of November 1st, the maple farm is already covered with layers of colors, burning with a solemn beauty.
Year after year, Xiao Jiang is about to graduate, and when will the promise made in sophomore year be fulfilled?
next year?
"Mr. Xia, this place is so beautiful!"
"Crack~~"
As soon as reporter Charlie Campbell finished speaking, the sound of shutter clicks rang out from behind him.
"Sorry, I think this photo would be perfect for the cover."
The accompanying photographer put down his camera and said.
Xia Yu was promised to be on the cover as part of the interview invitation, and in the photo captured by the camera, Xia Yu was looking at the maple forest in the distance with a sentimental and determined look in his eyes.
Although he is only a 22-year-old young man, he has rich experience, vigorous energy, and outstanding courage. He is definitely a hero among men!
"Can I see it?"
Taking the camera from the cameraman, Xia Yu saw the photos.
He and the scenery in the photo are clearly distinguished in priority, and the composition is very clever. This is a master.
After a brief exchange of photography tips with the expert, the interview officially began.
"Mr. Xia, I didn't expect your photography skills to be so advanced."
