Chapter 1030: Orchestra

At the harbor, the Rolls-Royce took the VIP lane, and it managed to arrive at its destination without any problems. It stopped before the huge cruise ship.

It was a real cruise ship that weighed in at 12,000 tonnes, and it was longer than 1,000 feet. Just the part above the water consisted of twelve-stories, and it looked like a skyscraper that was placed on the surface of the sea.

“This is the Oasis Crusader, and there’s a well-equipped Spanish restaurant inside. It’s one of the chain restaurants of Harvey, the renowned culinary expert. Even though he doesn’t usually come over, if we invite him over with enough sincerity, he would be willing to come over to cook the guests a meal.” Tian Qi had introduced the restaurant to Ling Ran on their way to the cruise ship. She continued, “Harvey’s dishes are renowned for being complicated, and he’s an advocate of molecular gastronomy. Hence, he would only come over to cook if the restaurant is well-equipped. Aside from this, he always brings a large team over with him.”

“He’s a little like cardiovascular surgeons.” Ling Ran nodded when he heard that.

“Cardiovascular surgeons?”

“Yeah. They only like to perform surgery if the operating theaters are well-equipped, and they care a lot about whether they are familiar with the operating theaters and the facilities inside. They’ll also bring a large team with them whenever they carry out freelance surgeries,” Ling Ran explained.

Even though Tian Qi did not know what Ling Ran was talking about, she felt that he made a lot of sense.

That was when the car stopped. Tian Qi smiled and walked elegantly out of the car after the chauffeur opened the door.

To outsiders, Tian Qi looked as dazzling as a white swan right now. As for the man beside her…

So handsome!

When the crew members looked at Tian Qi and Ling Ran at the same time, they could not help but feel that life was beautiful, and even their mood became better.

One of the crew members, who was a young woman, tried to stealthily take a photograph of them. However, she forgot to turn off the volume.

“Didn’t I tell you guys that you’re not allowed to take photos? Delete it now!” The supervisor immediately walked over and said sternly.

“I’m not taking a photo of Miss Tian. Only Doctor Ling is in the photo.” The young woman refused to let go of her phone.

“Who’s Doctor Ling?” The supervisor furrowed his eyebrows.

“Ling Ran, Doctor Ling. The one who came in the same car as Miss Tian. Don’t you go online? His videos and photos are all over the internet.”

“Why does someone so handsome need to work as a doctor?”

“The world is really unfair.”

“Why have I never encountered such a man when I go matchmaking?”

The supervisor ignored the other crew members who were whispering among themselves. He looked at Ling Ran’s back. He then turned and said to the young woman who took Ling Ran’s photo. “It doesn’t matter if you only take a photo of that guy. You must delete all of them.”

“Why are you making this such a big deal? I’ll just stop.” The young woman tightened her grip on her phone as she clutched it before her chest. She looked like she was about to scream.

When the supervisor saw the way she was acting and heard her tone of voice, he had to force himself to calm down. He tried to reason with her. “You are part of the company, and you must obey the company’s policy…”

…..

Ling Ran followed Tian Qi into the cruise ship, and on his way, he saw plenty of crew members who were wearing all kinds of uniforms. But there was not a single tourist inside the cruise ship.

That made Ling Ran feel good.

There had always been cruises in Yun Hua City, but Ling Ran had never been to any of them. This was mainly because, in all the news reports, the people in charge of cruise ships always boasted about how many passengers the ship could carry, and it was always four figures. This made Ling Ran stay away from cruises.

“We’re almost there. Today’s surprise, I mean.” Tian Qi reached out and grabbed Ling Ran’s hand. She then pointed at the signboard before them.

“The concert hall?”

“Yup, it’s a performance by a symphony orchestra from Northern Germany.” Tian Qi stuck out her tongue and said, “They’re having their rehearsal tonight, but the repertoire is the same as on the actual day of the performance. The audience will only consist of us and the director. Ah, there might be a few crew members too.”

Ling Ran nodded in understanding. “We won’t be disturbing their rehearsal, will we?”

“No. The Oasis Crusader is only docking at Yun Hua Harbor for a few days, and no passengers are scheduled to board the ship here. The symphony orchestra boarded earlier so that they could get used to the venue. They’ll be having a few concerts on the cruise ship after this.” Tian Qi was holding Ling Ran’s hand, and there was a blush on her face. She continued, “Live symphony orchestra concerts are really nice. All the scores they’re performing today are specially selected, and they’re short and nice at the same time, so you don’t have to worry about wasting time.”

Since Ling Ran was there already, he decided that he might as well enjoy things. He replied, “Let’s enjoy some music, then. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? I’m new at this.”

“If you’re worried that you’ll do something wrong, just remain silent during the performance. Whatever it is, it’ll be fine.” Tian Qi smiled and continued, “Back when I was young, I remember clapping when there was a break in the music when I was watching a symphony orchestra concert. My father ended up giving them a standing ovation, and the musicians had no choice but to stop the music and wait…”

Tian Qi chuckled a few times. She then nodded at the crew member who opened the door for them and walked side by side with Ling Ran into the concert hall. Only then did she stop smiling.

There were many concert halls in the Oasis Crusader, and each of them could fit in three or four hundred people. Half of the audience would be seated in the balcony, and right now, all of those seats were empty. There were a few people sitting in the first few rows of the concert hall, and they were chit-chatting.

Tian Qi did not greet any of them. She merely led Ling Ran to one of the seats at the center.

The seat was spacious, soft, and warm.

Tian Qi leaned against Ling Ran, and she could feel enjoyment in every cell of her body. She then raised her head to look at Ling Ran’s face. She was a little worried that Ling Ran would not enjoy it, but when she saw the curious expression on Ling Ran’s face, she immediately felt a lot more at ease.

This symphony orchestra from Northern Germany should be more than enough for a beginner.

The musicians did not let the audience wait for long. The spotlight shone on the stage, and a couple of dozens of middle-aged men and women, who were dressed well, jogged onto the stage.

The violinists held their violins as they sat down in the front row. Meanwhile, the cellists were empty-handed as they headed to the back row. Their dark-colored cellos were waiting for them there.

“I learned how to play the cello when I was young, and I found it very heavy.” Tian Qi saw that Ling Ran was looking at the cellos, and he commented in a soft voice.

“Indeed, it’s almost as heavy as a cardiopulmonary bypass machine.” Ling Ran could understand where Tian Qi was coming from.

Tian Qi nodded to show that she accepted his comparison.

The conductor started waving the baton, and the string musicians immediately started playing their instruments.

There were more than sixty of them, and it was as if they were releasing all the hidden energy within their body at the same time. They were able to work together as seamlessly as a busy team of emergency physicians.

Truth be told, to Ling Ran, the musicians were totally in the zone, and they seemed like they were able to work together far better compared to a team of emergency physicians.

It was just that they had a different target audience, which meant that the level of complication of the situations they had to deal with was different.

Ling Ran wondered how their training system was.

He also wondered if any of them received help from a system.

As the music echoed in the concert hall, all kinds of thoughts appeared in Ling Ran’s mind. The first song ended…

This was when a notification rang out in Ling Ran’s mind.

[Mission: Prove]

[Mission Details: Make your subordinates prove that they are more skillful than their colleagues from the same batch.]

[Mission Completion Status: 2/5]

[Mission Reward: Intermediate Treasure Chest]

Ling Ran could not help but furrow his eyebrows. How dare the mission complete itself when he was not around! He had to figure out who the doctor involved was.
