Chapter 476 Silent Four Songstresses
"Is this all right?" Tilan looked at herself in the mirror while sitting in front of the dressing mirror.
Because she was going to report on the scene today, she changed into a newly bought forest-style dress. The color of this dress was light green with a few white floral decorations.
"Well, put this on." Orles handed over a pair of woven bracelets from the side. The color was fresh, as if they were woven from freshly picked branches and vines, with a few white flowers on them.
"This." Tilan felt that this pair of bracelets was not an ordinary object. The faint vitality and weak magic coming from it showed that it was an extraordinary creation, and the branches and flowers were still alive.
"When I was endorsing the company before, they gave it to me. I still have a lot of this kind of jewelry. Tilan will accept it." Knowing what Tilan was thinking, Orles explained.
"Thank you." Tilan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she still accepted it. If it were someone else, she might not accept such a valuable thing, but for Orles, it was indeed a very casual thing.
'Fairywood Bracelet' (Golden Grade Creation): woven from extraordinary alpine fairywood plants, it can remain fresh for a long time after being processed with special techniques. Just wear it on your hand and occasionally add a little natural magic to it. It can enhance the magic manipulation of the natural sequence and use it to cast spells such as 'Bundle Wood into Swords', 'Vine Net' and 'Magic Flower Blossom'.
After matching their clothes, the two went out together and joined Blanche and Shui Yanqing.
"Tilan's dress has really changed a lot today." As soon as they met, the two talked about the huge changes in Tilan's appearance and temperament.
Compared with Tilan, Orlesi, who was standing next to her, had a bun of golden hair today, with only two strands of hair hanging down on both sides of her ears. Compared with the silver-haired princess in the past, she looked more capable today, but her temperament was also more cold and arrogant, not as friendly as usual.
"In fact, she is not very friendly on weekdays, but Orlesi is used to doing business and has been marinated." Shui Yanqing complained venomously.
At first, she would pretend in front of Orles, but later she found that it was useless to pretend between singers, so she just said it openly. She didn't know whether Orles was happy or not, but she was indeed in a much better mood.
"Some people's jealousy is really ugly. I know you envy me." Orles didn't agree with this. She was really arrogant, so arrogant that she didn't care about Shui Yanqing's remarks, and this attitude of neglect made Shui Yanqing particularly upset.
"Okay, okay, the two seniors, don't quarrel." Blanche intervened to smooth things over. She didn't understand why after six months of getting along, the relationship between the two not only didn't ease, but the conflicts became more and more serious.
Looking at this scene, Tilan could only sigh silently. These two really enjoyed fighting. You said that their relationship was very bad, but apart from bickering, there was no other attack or tripping each other. But you said that their relationship was very good, and these two people were definitely speaking the truth and couldn't like each other.
"Okay, let's go to the scene by car first. We can just find a rental hovercraft today." The reason why they didn't choose Aolesi or Shui Yanqing's own car was naturally because the car they drove was too luxurious, and according to the license plate number, it was easy to expose their identities.
The four of them walked to the side door of the campus, where a hovercraft was already parked and waiting.
[The target is the 'Four Winds Hotel', are you sure? ]
"Confirmed, let's go." Tilan responded, and then the car started and drove the four people to the hotel in the fourth district of the center.
The Four Winds Hotel is one of the subordinate industries of the giant enterprise 'Four Wind Gods'. The 'Four Wind Gods' is very special. It is formed by the union of four companies. They protect their shares and marry each other. They are both independent and integrated. The four companies are all named after the four wind gods in mythology, namely Boreas, the god of the north wind, Notos, the god of the south wind, Euros, and Zephyrus, the god of the west wind.
After more than ten minutes of driving, the four people got off the car and arrived at their destination, in front of the 'Four Winds Hotel'.
"It's so big." Blanche exclaimed as she looked up at the tall building with hundreds of floors in front of her.
Each floor of the Four Winds Hotel is as big as a football field. The overall appearance is like 'n'. The dome slowly retracts. The internal structure is also very novel. The first half of the 1st to 20th floors are all opened up to form a huge space. Two tall and lush trees are planted here. After entering the hotel gate, it is like entering a giant country. The leafy arch formed by the two giant trees is right in front of you.
"It's really big. I saw in the introduction that several floors are all water, and they have been transformed into beaches, islands and swimming pools." Tilan added. After hearing this, Blanche couldn't help but smack her lips.
The four of them walked in the empty lobby on the first floor. Although it is not open for business yet, they can already see many uniformed staff members. Some of them are helping some visiting guests to introduce, and some are rushing back and forth, dealing with various preparations that have not been completed in the hotel.
"Room 3 on the 68th floor is missing a vase, and a corner of the mural in Room 12 on the same floor is blurred, so the painter needs to repaint it."
"The rooms on the 41st floor have been inspected, and all kinds of security facilities are qualified, which can cope with the inspection of the review agency in three days."
"The guest in Room 8632 who tried to stay left a message saying that there were not many types of fruits prepared for breakfast, and suggested that we prepare three sets of bedding with different styles to facilitate the guests to choose and change."
"He is so picky. We clearly prepared 87 kinds of meals in the morning, including 19 kinds of fresh fruits, but he still thinks it is not enough."
"This guest is a friend of Manager Ailian. It is said that he often travels between major star regions and has rich experience in staying in hotels." The companion next to him reminded.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll write it down first, and tell the kitchen later. Now the staff is short, so add more fruits during the few days he stays, and when he leaves, we will withdraw later."
Looking at these employees coming and going, the four of them were quite curious and fresh. Although they had experienced staying in hotels, it was the first time for them to be in the preparation stage like now, especially hearing the complaints of those staff members, which was quite interesting.
Seeing new faces in the hall, the foreman who had just received the report from his companions came over.
"Hello, who are you four?" She glanced at the four people and made a quick judgment.
"We are here to participate in the symphony rehearsal." Shui Yanqing stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and then introduced herself.
"Oh, it turns out that you are from the orchestra. They are now in the 'Golden Hall' on the fifth floor." After saying that, she looked around and called a colleague. "
Lulu, take them there to report. Oh, by the way, you need to register your identity first, because the hotel is too big, and people entering and leaving need to make notes." She found a handheld identity verification device and put it close to the wrists of the four people, so that she could easily read their personal information.
'Water Organ, Osley, Butch, Danterian, please come in, ladies~' After recording the information of the four people, she made a professional welcome gesture.
After leaving the lobby, the four followed the young girl named Lulu into the elevator and soon entered the fifth floor. After walking out of the elevator, you can see the huge tree trunk outside the guardrail.
"Let's go this way. There is also a light buoyancy board. After stepping on it, give the command and it will take you to your destination." After that, she led the four people to one side, where several buoyancy boards with semicircular guardrails were parked.
On the way, Lulu looked at the four people and asked curiously, "Are you students?" After all, this is Academy City, and most young people are college students.
"Yes."
"That's great." She said with a little envy.
"I went to work directly after graduating from high school. Only two people in my class went to college before."
In response, the four people didn't know how to respond for a while, and just nodded slightly.
"College tuition is expensive, but the future prospects are broader. For me, although my current job is not bad, the pinnacle of my career is just like a foreman. Managers and supervisors all graduated from prestigious universities." She shook her head.
"Don't be so discouraged. If you want to learn, you can save some money and take the exam later." Tilan comforted.
"Well, thank you. Actually, I'm not complaining. I used to have a headache with those complicated math problems. I guess it won't be very effective if I learn now."
"It's just that sometimes I still envy them unconsciously." After saying that, she continued to move forward and helped the four people open the side door of the concert hall.
Walking into the golden and red music hall, the sound of the music played in it came to you. This space is specially designed so that the team performing on the stage can clearly spread the sound to the whole audience without generating interference echoes.
On the high stage, the orchestra is rehearsing at the moment, with about 300 musicians sitting, which can be said to be magnificent.
Lulu led the four people through the seats of the concert hall and came to the front row. After talking to a person in charge who she knew, the person stood up and turned around.
"Come with me." She had short dark purple hair that reached her shoulders, wore classical gemstone earrings on her ears, and wore a black suit.
They came to the preparation room on the side of the concert hall and closed the door. There were already several people here. They seemed to be temporary substitutes. At this moment, they were familiar with the music score.
"I looked at your information and it is generally in line, but it still needs to be verified on the spot." The professional opening, it seems that she is probably the manager or external person in charge of the orchestra.
"Here are some spare instruments. You can use them gently. Come one by one."
"Yes."
Then the four people looked at it and picked out the instruments they needed.
"First, you." She pointed to Orles.
Even after the four people were disguised, Orles's appearance was still eye-catching, and the pointed ears on the side of her face showed her identity as an elf.
Holding the violin with one hand and the bow with the other, Orlesi closed her eyes slightly, tried a few times, and soon got into the state.
It was amazing, Tilan was surprised when she heard Orlesi's performance. This was the first time she saw Orlesi playing the violin, but she was very professional and her level was very high, even catching up with Andusia.
You know, when she first learned the violin from Andusia, Lady Isabella said that Andusia was a musician in the first echelon of the Central Star Region before she retired.
Listening to this performance, the other people in the room stopped unconsciously, and then looked in the direction of Orlesi, seeing that this elf girl raised her neck slightly when she played, like a swan, and her golden hair seemed to be coated with a layer of sacred light under the light.
After the song was finished, there was a round of applause in the room. It was because everyone was studying music that they were particularly aware of the level of her performance.
"Very good, very good, very good." The manager clapped his hands and looked at Orles again.
"It's a pity that this performance has to follow the organizer's plan. Otherwise, if you were transferred to the stage to perform solo, the effect would be great." She said with a little regret.
After that, the manager pulled Orles to ask a lot of questions, such as which school she was studying in, whether she would consider joining the orchestra in the future, what grade she was in now, etc.
"Thank you, but my family has already made arrangements, so I'm afraid I can't agree to your suggestion." Orles answered skillfully.
"I'm presumptuous." The manager also reacted. This elf girl probably has a complicated family background, and this job is just for the experience of life.
In this case, she stopped disturbing Orles and turned her eyes to the other three.
The second one to demonstrate was Shui Yanqing. Surprisingly, her performance was average, not particularly eye-catching, but not bad either.
In response, the manager nodded slightly and let the next one go.
Compared to Shui Yanqing, Blanche went all out this time. The only instrument she knew how to play was the reed, which she learned after entering university. Fortunately, she practiced diligently and barely met the requirements for the ensemble this time.
"The last one is Miss Danterian." Compared to the others, Miss Danterian, who sat quietly and patiently, was very steady, which made the manager slightly favor her.
Then Tilan placed the cello, sat on the chair and started playing. Her performance was much better than that of ordinary people, but it was not amazing, and she did not have the impact brought by Orles.
"Very good, Miss Danterian." The manager nodded with satisfaction.
"The four of you have passed. Here are the music scores. You can familiarize yourself with them first. You can rehearse a few times with the others in the room. Then in the afternoon, I will put you in the band for group rehearsal."
"Okay." The four agreed, and then the manager told the others in the room something and returned to the music hall.
After she left, the four sat together again and talked in a low voice.
"Oles is so stupid. She's performing at full strength at this time." Shui Yanqing said what happened just now.
"Why do you say that to me? What you did just now is called acting? You deliberately played so badly that it didn't even match your character." Orles also responded and fought back.
The other three knew Shui Yanqing's true level, which was definitely not what it was just now.
"Ordinary work, ordinary work, you make it too eye-catching, but it's easy to cause trouble." Shui Yanqing said her thoughts.
"I like this by nature. Besides, why should I be afraid of trouble? They should be afraid of offending me." Orles fought back.
"Okay, okay." Blanche sighed and wanted to mediate the two. This would be considered as a task and working time. It's not good to argue like this.
Maybe it's because of the different growth experiences of the two people that they have created different values and personalities. Seeing that the two people quarreled again, Tilan suddenly thought of this problem.
"People around us are starting to notice us." When she spoke, the two people who were arguing stopped immediately.
Seeing that this trick worked, Tilan breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Orles to her side, nodded slightly to Shui Yanqing, and then separated the two.
"Let's practice first. It's a rare opportunity to experience the work."
The three of them didn't object anymore. Instead, they took out their instruments and started to get familiar with them.
Although they seemed to have quarreled just now, Orles and Shui Yanqing had indeed changed a lot. Orles also lowered some of her strength when practicing, and Shui Yanqing no longer deliberately concealed her shortcomings, and her level was much higher.
Time passed slowly, and the other people in the room would occasionally peek at the four people. After all, even if they had disguised themselves, three of the four were stunning. Even if Blanche was a little inferior, she was still a very beautiful girl among ordinary people.
This continued until near noon, when three boys who were practicing in the same room came over.
"Hello, do you want to have lunch together at noon? I know where the restaurant is." The leading boy, wearing an unbuttoned small suit, looked quite handsome, and spoke in a very familiar manner.
Among the four people, Orles obviously looked down on the three boys who were attracted by their beauty, but because Tilan was right beside her, she didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so she turned her face away. Blanche didn't care much. If she came alone, she would probably agree, but since they were together this time, she would follow the opinions of the other three.
Shui Yanqing blinked and then spoke.
"Can you tell me where the restaurant is? Otherwise, it's too much trouble for you."
"Uh, okay." Seeing that the four people didn't agree, the leading boy was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"I'll point it out to you." He took out his personal terminal and projected the location.
"With identity verification, you can eat for free. This hotel is very generous." He said, holding his personal terminal and approaching Shui Yanqing.
In response, Shui Yanqing took a half step back without noticing, still smiling and nodding to express her gratitude.
"Why don't we go together? It's just on the way." The other party invited again, and the two boys behind him also agreed, but their eyes were fixed on Orles, and they couldn't move away.
Today, Orlesi was wearing a silver-red dress, revealing her fair shoulders and collarbones, which was particularly attractive.
"No, thank you." Tilan stood up and stood in front of Orlesi, pressing her shoulder lightly.
The three wanted to say something, but Tilan shook her head again and did not answer. At this point, the three left in dismay.
After waiting in the room for a few minutes, the four of them left and headed for the restaurant that the boy mentioned just now.
"I'm so angry, if it wasn't for..." As soon as she came out, Orles couldn't help but speak. If it wasn't for Tilan holding her down, she would have been angry.
"You wore that kind of clothes, didn't you think that this would be the result? Since you don't like that kind of stare, just dress conservatively. You're not a real princess, do you have to have others take care of your emotions every day?" Shui Yanqing still said venomously.
"Ahem, Yanqing said it was a bit heavy." Tilan couldn't help but interrupt the two of them.
Knowing that it was a bit too much, Shui Yanqing turned her head away. Although she usually complained about Orles a lot, she would not be so aggressive. After all, she also cared about her own image.
"I'm really not a real princess. After all, this is not ancient times, and there is no such position as a princess. But if you dare to say that in front of me again, I don't mind letting you experience what a princess is." Orles raised her eyebrows, and her words made Blanche beside her particularly scared.
After that, the four of them entered a state of silence and walked towards the restaurant silently.
Alas, it's only the first day of working together, and it has turned out like this, Tilan sighed in her heart.
In the past, they just studied and played in school, and there was no direct conflict, but now it's work and business, and the different personalities and values of the two people are immediately incompatible.
No wonder the teacher said that practice can test the truth. It's so difficult to mediate the conflict between the two people, so mediating the conflict of the entire federation is a direct climb to the sky. Tilan's expectations for the future can't help but be a little disillusioned.
