Chapter 443: 443: Treasures

Jay saw

Olivia took out the violin and leisurely placed it on the table, anxiously saying: “Hello! Can you please help me change the broken string? It is urgent, can you repair it by tomorrow?”

The music shop owner inspected Olivia’s violin and said, “This instrument must have been custom made overseas, it’s not cheap. We can replace the string for you, but we don’t have the original import string available; also, one of those strings is quite expensive.”

For a moment, a glimmer of hope danced in Olivia’s eyes, “Yes, this violin was indeed purchased overseas. I really need it urgently, so I’d appreciate if you could find an imported string for it. If we put in a different kind of string, I’m worried that the pitch will be off, and it will impact the overall sound doing it.”

“A common string may indeed bring about such effects when matched with an original string. I apologize, we really don’t have this kind of string in our store. They are too expensive, we seldom have them in stock. But let me try looking for one for you.”

With a smile, Olivia said, “I’m very grateful!”

Olivia wrote a contact number down for the shop owner.

The owner added, “I’m only going to try, there’s no guarantee that I can find this original violin string as it’s very rare. I will take down your contact number and notify you as soon as I hear anything. If needed urgently, I recommend you to consider buying another violin. We have plenty of high-quality violins in our shop.”

If Olivia couldn’t replace the string with an original import, she will have to buy another violin.

Guided by the shop owner, Olivia tried several violins in succession.

Although the violins were also priced at tens of thousands, cost wasn’t the issue; Olivia felt that their sound quality was inferior and didn’t meet her standards.

“Thank you, but there isn’t a violin that catches my fancy.”

“I have a friend who sells expensive violins that are similar to yours in sound quality and price, about three hundred thousand or so. If you want to buy it, I can have him bring it over.”

Olivia didn’t make a decision right away but fell into deep thought.

The violin was bought by her father and custom made overseas, cost over half a million. Normally, she treasured it too much to play, taking great care of it. Who knew that a string would break tonight?

She will definitely repair this violin and keep it as a treasure.

To buy a violin worth hundreds of thousands just for one performance seemed too extravagant to Olivia. Besides, she’s not violin-less, it’s just a broken string that can be replaced and used again.

It’s just that the string broke at this crucial time which made it seem extremely urgent.

“I don’t need to buy a violin. Can you help me ask your friends, or your old customers, and see if anyone is willing to rent out a good violin? I only need it for two days, the price is negotiable.”

After some thought, the owner said, “I’ll do my best to ask around, I will contact you tomorrow.”

Olivia’s beautiful face was full of gratitude, “Thank you, I’ll wait for your good news. I must get an original string for my violin, no matter how long it takes.”

The owner handed the violin back to Olivia, “You hold onto it for now, it’s too valuable. I’m afraid it might get lost. As soon as the original string comes in, I will notify you to bring the violin in for the replacement.”

“Okay!”

As soon as Olivia left, Jay came out to pay the bill.

At the same time, he started a chat with the shop owner.

Just as Olivia had put away her violin, she received a call from the owner of the music store.
