My wife is in my arms

Chapter 843 Birthday Banquet Part Two
In the lounge.

“What are you doing!?”

Jiang Yiren, who had been pulled in by Tan Yao, asked curiously.

"Yiren, we have a pretty good relationship, right?"

Tan Yao didn't answer directly, but instead played the emotional card. Under Jiang Yiren's gaze, Tan Yao didn't hide anything and said, "Did you hear what my daughter said just now? She really likes your husband..."

"You're not going to ask me to step down and hand over the reins, are you!?"

Jiang Yiren made a joke.

"..."

Tan Yao was speechless for a moment. She lightly patted Jiang Yiren's arm and said irritably, "My daughter is only ten years old. Don't joke like that. My husband and I have thought about it, and since your husband has already taken on two disciples, why not take my daughter on as well? It's the same whether we teach two or three. Of course, I won't let your husband take her on for free. Name your price."

Jiang Yiren was stunned.

She finally understood why she had told Tan Yao to give her husband some pointers when he listened to her daughter play the piano; it turned out she was trying to get her husband to take in their daughter.

After figuring this out, Jiang Yiren understood quite well.

After all, her husband is not only highly accomplished in the field of piano, but also a master in the use of other musical instruments.

Since Tan Yao's daughter likes to play the piano, her husband is more skilled and famous than the teacher in the hobby class.

Especially learning from her husband... Although her husband didn't teach the three children how to write lyrics and compose music, Li Ran and her daughter could see him writing lyrics and composing music, except for Zhongxia who didn't live at her house.

This is precisely the kind of "familiarity breeds contempt." You might not see it for the time being, but as time goes on and the two children get a little older, they'll ask her out of curiosity, and her husband will definitely have taught them. That's another kind of skill.

No matter what you do, there's a big difference between having someone to guide you and not having one, and the ability of the person guiding you plays a crucial role in this.

Jiang Yiren believes that even if the two children are not very bright, they will definitely be able to write a few poems in ten years, even if they cannot reach the level of her husband who always produces masterpieces.

That's why it seems quite reasonable for Tan Yao to say that she would let her husband collect the money.

"Don't stay silent!"

Seeing that Jiang Yiren remained silent, Tan Yao pleaded, "Yiren, my daughter really loves playing the piano. Originally, we planned to wait another two years until she had a solid foundation before hiring a famous teacher. But then we thought, what famous teacher is better than your husband? My daughter's piano class teacher even uses pieces composed by your husband as teaching materials."

Why didn't you tell my husband yourself?!

Jiang Yiren asked.

"I……"

Tan Yao was speechless for a moment.

She was too embarrassed to admit that she was a little intimidated by Zhang You now, mainly because Zhang You's status was too high. Others might not understand, but as a professional singer, she had a much deeper understanding of the name "Zhang You".

"You go and say it yourself; I'm not telling you."

Jiang Yiren refused, saying, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but... on the way here, my husband kept joking that he wanted to replace me."

As she spoke, Jiang Yiren couldn't help but laugh. She patted Tan Yao on the shoulder and said, "Go and talk to him yourself! Even though I'm someone's wife, this isn't something that happens only once or twice... If you're talking about sending the child over for lessons every now and then, I can make that decision. But taking him on as a disciple involves a long period of time. If he doesn't agree, no amount of persuasion from others will change that."

If it were something else, Jiang Yiren might have agreed.

But taking on apprentices is a huge deal.

To put it bluntly, this is a thankless task.

Taking in Zhongxia... her husband didn't get a single penny of benefit; in fact, he had to give that girl 10,000 yuan every month. And even then, he still used connections to get her into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music system to study music. Li Ran was even more uncertain. She was just a little kid; who knew when she would be able to earn money for their family... If things went wrong, their family would have to spend a lot of money as dowry when this girl got married.

The same applies to midsummer.

So it's not so easy to find a master; there are no benefits, only disadvantages. She and Tan Yao have a good personal relationship, but it's not to the extent that she would persuade her husband to accept Ma Yuhan.

As for the price, you can name it however you like!
Three to five million is not a problem for their family.

If it's too much, people will definitely think... they don't have to pay a penny to the other two, but they only charge so much when it's their turn. Not only will they lose face, but it will also make things unpleasant between the two families.

"Yiren"

Tan Yao called out.

"Sister Tan, talking to me about this is useless. How about... I take your daughter as my disciple?!"

As they talked, Jiang Yiren joked, "Perfect timing, I haven't taken on any disciples yet! I can use your daughter as a practice subject. Don't worry, I'll definitely teach your daughter everything I know."

"Can you play the piano!?"

Tan Yao asked in an annoyed tone.

"Can't I play the guitar?!"

Jiang Yiren asked back with a smile.

"I can too."

Tan Yao replied.

"I can sing. Once I take your daughter in, I will train her to be a singer, and I will do everything in my power to do so."

Jiang Yiren waved her hand, a serious expression appearing on her cool face.

"So, I'm the mother who sells sweet potatoes, right...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Tan Yao's husband came in and called out. Tan Yao quickly followed him out. Once his wife was closer, her husband asked in a low voice, "How did it go?!"

Tan Yao shook his head.

The fact that she spared so many guests to specifically drag Jiang Yiren in meant that this matter was quite important, but clearly... Jiang Yiren didn't agree, yet she didn't seem to mind.

As an adult, she could understand Jiang Yiren's actions. The main issue was indeed too big. If it were her husband... she wouldn't dare to agree so readily. As for Jiang Yiren wanting to take her daughter in, that was just a joke.

Even if Jiang Yiren were joking, she wouldn't agree, mainly because she knows everything Jiang Yiren knows.

Jiang Yiren said she can play the guitar, and she plays it even better than Jiang Yiren. If it weren't for Zhang You suddenly coming out to help her and creating a series of highly popular songs for her, this now undisputed queen of the music scene might have disappeared.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with her husband and a couple with a child, Tan Yao invited them to sit down. Her gaze casually swept across the group in the hall, and she noticed that Zhang You was at the center, surrounded by several singers from the entertainment industry.

Right about this.

Tan Yao was not surprised.

When a person's fame reaches a certain level, it will attract people to approach them. Zhang You is not only famous, but also a recognized top music creator in the music industry.

Now, wherever he sits in the music industry, that place becomes the center of attention.

The center position is for the audience and media to see, but the real center position is where Zhang You is sitting now.
