Chapter 1233 A Quiet Surprise
After more than a month of business trips around the country, Yu Zhan finally returned to the capital. Among the luggage he checked in, in addition to his large suitcase, there was also a tightly wrapped rectangular wooden box.
It has to be said that the owners of pet hospitals in various places have extensive local connections. When Yu Zhan was socializing in a southern city, the owner of the pet hospital there knew that Yu Zhan's girlfriend was a guqin musician. In order to please him, he said he would introduce a guqin master to him.
This master is nearly 70 years old and is a well-known guqin craftsman. He can play the guqin, but he is more specialized in making guqin. The quality of the guqin he makes is extraordinary and cannot be compared with the assembly line products on the market.
With the help of his boss, Yu Zhan got acquainted with this master.
Yu Zhan always remembered that after Liu?'s guqin was shipped back from the United States, the body of the guqin was cracked and could no longer be used. During this period, Liu? also looked for some experts to ask if it could be repaired, including Mr. Li, the owner of the folk musical instrument store where she bought the guqin.
Now Boss Li is no longer as poor as before. His store has doubled in size and now occupies three full storefronts at the back door of the Conservatory of Music. Perhaps it was Liu who brought about a wave of folk music. For the first time ever, the number of students applying for folk music in music schools across the country exceeded that for Western instruments in this year's college entrance examination. When school started in September, the welcome center of the Capital Conservatory of Music was full of folk music students, and children carrying guzheng, guqin, pipa, and erhu could be seen everywhere.
At that time, Yu Zhan went to see Boss Li with Liu?. Boss Li said, "This guitar is originally a knockoff. Compared with those parallel imports that are sold to novices, it is well made, but it is not as good as a real good guitar. It is really not worth repairing. The cost of repairing the guitar may be higher than the guitar itself, and it may not be repaired. We need to find a master, but such a person will not take on the repair work of such a knockoff guitar."
"Besides, you are a famous person, but you still use a guqin that costs more than 2,000 yuan. Isn't it a bit embarrassing?!"
After hearing what Boss Li said, Liu? no longer held out hope of repairing the piano. It wasn't because she felt embarrassed. She had feelings for the piano, just like people who really like small animals, who wouldn't care whether their pets were stray cats or dogs or purebred cats and dogs. No matter how good a piano is, if it's played by someone who can't play it, the sound will be rubbish; no matter how bad a piano is, if it's played by an expert, it can still be played like a concert.

...
The guqin is needed for the filming of "The Song of Gaixia", and Liu planned to buy another one in the ancient capital, where there are many folk instrument stores.
She was far away in Mobei filming and didn't know that Yu Zhan had quietly asked the master to repair the guqin. Fortunately, his and Liu?'s fame made this old man who rarely went online know about it. The old man appreciated Liu?'s guqin playing and did not reject him.
The piano, which was originally purchased for more than 2,000 yuan, cost Yu Zhan nearly 100,000 yuan to repair.
November 17th was Liu?'s 22nd birthday, and Yu Zhan planned to give her this piano as her birthday gift. But Liu? had been filming in Mobei, so Yu Zhan didn't want to disturb her. He only sent Liu? a "Happy Birthday" blessing on the 17th. Liu? was filming until late at night that day, and when she returned to her local town resident's house, she saw the message and replied to him with a "mua mua" emoticon. She didn't mind that Yu Zhan didn't give her a gift, and Yu Zhan remembered her birthday, which was enough to make her happy.
Ten days after Liu Yu's birthday, Yu Zhan had finished his own work and the crew of "Song of Gaixia" was also wrapping up their work in Mobei, so Yu Zhan decided to leave for the ancient capital. He wanted to wait until the day when the crew returned to the ancient capital to hand over the guqin to Liu Yu.
He specifically confirmed with Alan the crew's return time. Alan said, "I didn't expect you to care about me so much. I'm very touched."
Yu Zhan was already used to his ambiguous words. As long as he didn't want to take advantage of Liu?, he would tolerate it. "I will be in the ancient capital on the 29th. Don't tell her."
"Got it. I won't be boring and ruin your surprise."
Alan said lazily, but his expression was a little lonely. After working with Liu for a month, he was more attracted to her. This Chinese girl had all the qualities he liked. But he couldn't say anything, nor could he do anything to provoke imagination. Even when filming, when the script required physical contact, he was very disciplined and strictly followed the plot.
He finally understood why Jason never mentioned pursuing Liu Yu again after meeting her. Jason couldn't steal Yu Zhan's girl, and he couldn't do it either.
