After the concert ended, Ming Cang did not immediately leave . He wanted to introduce Fang Zhao to Ha Wen . This would be beneficial to both Fang Zhao and Ha Wen .
Ha Wen strode over quickly . "Teacher Ming?!"
Ming Cang and his wife had both taught him before . After Ha Wen had sent out the invites, he had found out that Ming Ye would be having his weekly medical examination . His concert had coincidentally fallen on the same day, so he had expected Ming Cang to stay home and look after Ming Ye . He had never expected that Ming Cang would actually come over .
Ha Wen knew about the hardships Ming Cang had been through over the past 10-plus years . He had also helped Ming Cang, but back then, he had been at a low point in his career and the help he had been able to provide was limited . After he had finally overcome his own difficulties, when he wished to help Ming Cang more, he had heard that a treatment had been discovered and had felt happy for Ming Cang .
For this concert, Ha Wen had guessed that Ming Cang might not show up due to the matters with Ming Ye . Although he had felt a little regretful, as the father of two children himself, he could understand where Ming Cang was coming from and had no complaints .
During his time at the Qi'an Academy of Music, besides Ha Wen's own talent, Ming Cang's teachings had been very important as well . Even after Ming Cang no longer taught, they still kept in touch and maintained their student-teacher relationship . Every time they spoke would end up being beneficial to Ha Wen . The reason Ha Wen was able to sit in front of a piano once again was also because of Ming Cang's encouragement .
When he had found out that Ming Cang was here, Ha Wen had been moved, placed other matters aside, and rushed over .
After Ming Cang had introduced Fang Zhao, Ha Wen smiled at Fang Zhao and said, "I know you, a really impressive junior indeed!"
As graduates of the Qi'an Academy of Music, calling one a junior displayed a sense of closeness, and the praise he had given was not because Ming Cang was there but rather because of genuine admiration .
Although they specialized in different styles, they could still hear the skills from other composer's works . From what Ha Wen saw, despite Fang Zhao being only 20-odd years old and having come from a family without a musical background, his accomplishments were already extremely impressive .
"Are you done with all your stuff? Go settle all your own matters first . We will just wait for you here and have a chat later . " Ming Cang waved Ha Wen off, letting him sort out his own matters first .
Hearing Ming Cang say this, Ha Wen nodded . Although his concert had ended, there were a couple of things he still needed to see to .
"All right, then please have some tea over here first, Teacher Ming and Junior Fang . " Ha Wen got somebody to bring Ming Cang and Fang Zhao to a lounge . He couldn't let his guests stand there and wait for him .
After Ha Wen left, Ming Cang explained to Fang Zhao, "After a concert, he must send off old classmates, teachers, and friends who came to cheer him on as well as parties interested in purchasing song rights . That might take a while longer, but it won't be more than an hour . Let's have a chat over there first . " Seating himself down in the lounge, Ming Cang continued, "You did well signing with Silver Wing and having their teams help you out with the social niceties, but you still can't leave everything to the teams behind you . There are always some social interactions that you ought to attend in person . "
Ming Cang was reminding Fang Zhao that although he might seem on fire now, if his powerful backer Silver Wing left the picture, he could not even be compared to others who were from influential families . There were some things that couldn't be completely left to others .
Some people were arrogant and haughty but had the capital and resources to back it up—Fang Zhao was still a long way from that level .
A student had once told Ming Cang that, having come from a basic background, the pressure he had felt was much more than what others felt . There were times when he had wanted to escape a predicament but had not been able to rely on contacts, so he had only been able to struggle as if his life depended on it .
Although Fang Zhao did not have an influential background, he had ability and luck, and the path he had traveled was smooth, so he had not needed to struggle and strive to survive .
Thinking about the series of experiences Fang Zhao had had after graduating, in his heart, Ming Cang sighed at Fang Zhao's good fortune . But he did not know that Fang Zhao had experienced a period where he'd had to struggle just to live, and Fang Zhao had spent close to a hundred years in that sort of hell .
Sure, Fang Zhao's current body had been strengthened during the mysterious process of his rebirth, but having the experience from his past life of living through the Period of Destruction had given rise to the current Fang Zhao in everyone's eyes . Otherwise, if it had been any other person who had been reborn, even if they'd had golden fingers, they might not necessarily have accomplished what Fang Zhao had .
The experience from his past life was cast inside the current Fang Zhao . What others saw as luck was actually his experiences that could not be revealed to the world .
As for Ming Cang's worry, there wasn't really any need for it . When it came to his mental state and character, Fang Zhao was really strong . Furthermore, Fang Zhao also wasn't a person with a low IQ or EQ .
After around 40 minutes had passed, Ha Wen hurriedly returned with a beaming smile on his face . He was clearing excited . His selling of song rights had probably gone really well, and evaluations from people within the circles were quite high . He had truly completed his first concert, a major stepping stone in his life .
Ming Cang chuckled . "Looks like the results were not bad . " He had already gotten some evaluations of Ha Wen's concert from some people in a group chat, and most of them were full of praise .
Ha Wen's eyes had turned to slits on his slightly round face . "Hahaha, not bad, not too bad!"
Ming Cang once again introduced the two of them to each other, this time a little more formally . Then he said to Fang Zhao, "If you have any queries or doubts about arranging, you can look for Ha Wen . "
"Right, I might not be as impressive in other areas as Junior Fang, but arrangement is my specialty . Although I can't compare with the teachers at QiMu, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me . Oh, I nearly forgot, let's exchange contact information . Your concert is coming soon . If you need help in any areas, don't be afraid to ask," Ha Wen said .
In his heart, Ha Wen knew that although Fang Zhao was still considered a newcomer and junior in the music circles, no one took him lightly . Ha Wen had also seen from recent news that there was a lot of attention being placed on Fang Zhao's concert even though there was still some time before it .
Interacting more would be beneficial to the both of them .
