Chapter 3 third chapter

Xia Churong just took down Zhou Yulou's phone number, turned off QQ, and the door opened.Tang Kai walked in from the outside.Tang Kai's footsteps were a little wobbly, his eyes were reddish, and he had drunk a little too much. Tang Kai is Xia Churong's husband, and Xia Churong is Chu Chu. Xia Churong is tall and not very beautiful, but she exudes a thick quiet character all over her body, which is very close to the feeling she conveyed to Zhou Yulou in QQ.She never speaks loudly, nor does she pat anyone on the shoulder as a buddy, let alone have a heated argument with anyone.Like her job, she has been working as a clerk for a beauty consultant company since graduating from college.She is neither ostentatious nor noisy, always quiet, and because of her quietness, she adds a lot of pleasant beauty.You will be very happy to see her smile. At that time, the corners of her mouth will turn up into a round arc, and her eyes will brighten up unconsciously, which makes you feel very comfortable.If you must laugh, she will turn her head to the side, her long hair covering her face, leaving you with unlimited room for imagination.Her skin was fair, even a little pale, and her waist was so slender that it was almost weak.Her hair is shoulder-length, but it has always been obedient and silky, not messy, which is easily reminiscent of her character.

Compared with those women who are surging like rivers, Xia Churong is like a safe and quiet harbor. Tang Kai graduated from high school and did not go to university. He started a small business with his parents, but he always felt that he was not that kind of material, so he simply found a job and worked steadily, so he joined a trading company run by a Taiwanese.Tang Kai has no professional skills, but he can drive a car. When he used to help his parents with business, he often drove a miniature delivery car.Seeing that he was honest, the boss left him as a driver.The Taiwanese boss is nearly 60 years old, has a lot of friends and is addicted to alcohol. At the same time, he is not optimistic about the traffic situation in the mainland, so Tang Kai has almost become the personal entourage of the old Taiwanese man.Not only that, but the old man's wife is also a restless person, often running around in the city.Tang Kai spent most of the day in the car.

It stands to reason that the lives of Xia Churong and Tang Kai have no intersection in any case, and everything is because of that old Taiwanese woman. The relationship between that old woman and another old woman, Xia Churong's boss, has always been very good.She often comes to the beauty company and stays for an hour or two, and always brings some free beauty products with her when she leaves.Every time the old woman went upstairs, Tang Kai would wait for her in the car bored.That day was like that, the old woman had been up for a long time and hadn't come out yet, Tang Kai lay on his back on the car seat and prayed for the old woman to die quickly, while preparing to close his eyes and take a nap.At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse, not far away, of a young girl who had just stepped down the steps of the building and fell to the ground.

Xia Churong has been hypotensive. In order to sort out a copy that afternoon, she sat on a chair for more than three hours straight. When she got into the elevator, she felt dizzy and dizzy. When I got to the door of the building, I fainted to the ground.Without even thinking about it, Tang Kai rushed over to pick up Xia Churong into the car and sent her to the hospital.In fact, Tang Kai was not the kind of person who was always willing to help others, but the situation was so sudden that he had no time to think about it.Coupled with the fact that the two hours of being alone in the carriage made him close to the edge of claustrophobia, he was like an eagle out of its cage when he ran towards Xia Churong.

It was almost dark that day, and the old woman came out of the building with a bag of beauty trial kits.At first she was very angry for not finding Tang Kai, but later she learned the truth of the matter, and further knew that it was her good friend's subordinate who Tang Kai rescued. A few days later, a dining table for four, two old women and a couple of young men and women. Tang Kai wouldn't say anything, he was always numb.Both Xia Churong and her boss expressed their gratitude very sincerely, and the Taiwanese old woman was in high spirits throughout the meal.When the two old women chattered heartily and compared each other's charms, Tang Kai and Xia Churong made eye contact a few times, but they all hurriedly avoided.A blush flashed across Xia Churong's face, and beads of sweat from Tang Kai fell on the table.

Later, they got married. But this marriage eventually cracked due to the weak foundation.Xia Churong and Tang Kai basically had no common topics or interests, and Tang Kai went out early and returned late every day, so the relationship became weaker and weaker.For a while, every night when Tang Kai went to bed, Xia Churong would turn away because of the cheap car perfume smell on his body. The sex life is certainly not ideal.Tang Kai is physically strong and has nothing else to do, so he has very high requirements for the frequency and scale of sex, but most of the time Xia Churong is not willing to cooperate.This has something to do with their relationship, Xia Churong's character and her body.So the situation got worse and worse, and later it even developed to the point that the two of them hardly spoke anymore except what had to be said, such as "Will you take a bath? I'll take a shower first".Then Tang Kai developed a habit of drinking, every day after parking the car downstairs, he drank alone in a nearby tavern, Xia Churong hated it even more.

It was at that time that Xia Churong started chatting online. It's not that Tang Kai didn't know about Xia Churong chatting online, but he didn't have the courage to stop it.To put it bluntly, every time he faced Xia Churong, he felt a strong sense of inferiority.I am indeed not as good as Xia Churong, if such a husband lacks the minimum quality of a man - magnanimity, wouldn't he be useless.Besides, let's talk, it's all fake anyway. But tonight, he still saw something unusual. Xia Churong cried. Xia Churong's eyes were red, obviously she had just finished crying.And when Tang Kai entered the room, he immediately saw Xia Churong stuffing something into the pocket of his robe and pajamas.

Tang Kai was stunned at the door, "What's wrong with you?" He asked. "It's okay." Xia Churong stood up and walked to the bathroom.Tang Kai closed the door, turned around and stopped in front of Xia Churong, "You...why are you crying?" Tang Kai's tongue was a little stiff, and he was trying to increase his alcohol intake recently. Since the night before, he drank two small bottles at a time. two. Xia Churong wiped the corners of her eyes, "I saw some photos of grandma just now." Xia Churong's grandma passed away a month ago.But in fact, when she posed a series of question marks to Zhou Yulou, her tears flowed down involuntarily, and they hardly stopped after that.

Tang Kai tried his best to show his understanding with his expression, but he couldn't help looking into the pocket of Xia Churong's pajamas.Xia Churong took out a small ball of tissues from her pocket knowingly. "Wipe your tears, it's nothing." "Oh..." Tang Kai blushed even more, "I didn't, I didn't..." "Take a shower before going to bed." Xia Churong finished speaking and went into the bathroom.She took out the small note from the pocket of her pajamas, memorized Zhou Yulou's phone number, and then threw the note into the toilet to flush it away.

That night Tang Kai spent twice as long brushing his teeth as usual, and also applied a lot more body wash and shampoo.By the time he went to bed in the dark, he thought he should have lost the smell of alcohol.But even so, when he rubbed against Xia Churong, Xia Churong didn't even turn around, and only said softly: "Go to sleep, I'm tired." Zhou Yulou has a full schedule today. In the morning, he will call a meeting with all the teachers in the department, and then he will have classes in the next two periods. In the afternoon, he will go to the furniture city with Jiang Dan.Jiang Dan took a fancy to an American style dressing table the day before yesterday and was very excited, so he must go to appreciate it.In the evening, his cousin Zhou Yuting came from other places, and he had to pick him up at the station.Needless to say, I have to greet my cousin at night.

The cousin called last night. When the ring rang, Zhou Yulou had just left the phone with Chu Chu. At that time, his heart beat faster and he thought it was Chu Chu. Xinjiang Conservatory of Music. Every time Zhou Yulou walks into this baroque-style courtyard, he feels connected with her. This feeling has never changed since he was studying here 14 years ago.The freedom and stretch emphasized by the Baroque style are Zhou Yulou's innate personality. Now the work of the Vocal Music Department of Xinjiang Conservatory of Music is presided over by Zhou Yulou.Zhou Yulou was originally the deputy director. After the old director died of a heart attack four months ago, he acted as the deputy director.However, it is only a proxy.The office of the dean of the department is always empty, and it is not possible to determine who will sit in it until the next step of the competition.Zhou Yulou is not without opponents. When Zhou Yulou walked into the meeting room, more than half of the people had already arrived, and Feng Tai was chatting with everyone enthusiastically.Seeing Zhou Yulou coming in, the teachers all subdued their emotions, only Feng Tai said shyly: "Director Zhou is here, how are the wedding preparations going?" Zhou Yulou replied with a helpless smile Feng Tai.Zhou Yulou didn't like this person, and the teachers were well aware of the delicate relationship between them. There are two things to talk about at the meeting, the declaration of professor qualifications and the competition for department heads.Recently, the Provincial Education Commission wanted to promote a group of young professors within the scope of art colleges and universities across the province, and any teacher under the age of 40 could apply.In Xinjiang Conservatory of Music, the Vocal Department has the largest number of young teachers.Zhou Yulou mobilized everyone, encouraged young teachers to be full of confidence, and conveyed the review team's requirements for thematic papers to everyone.Then talk about the competition for the head of the department. Zhou Yulou said: "The competition for recruitment is about to start. Everyone should make some preparations." He looked at Feng Tai, "The head of the department will be created between me and Teacher Feng. The deputy director and assistant to the director can apply for the election. , Lao Chen will write the specific schedule on the bulletin board, please pay attention, let’s end the meeting.” Everyone got up to leave, when Feng Tai spoke, Feng Tai was the assistant director of the Vocal Music Department. "Wait, Director Zhou, I want to say a few words." Everyone sit down again.Feng Tai spoke unhurriedly, without looking at Zhou Yulou when he spoke. "I would like to exchange views with you on the work of student management." The meeting room was very quiet, and people were waiting for Feng Tai to speak. "Let's talk about the accommodation of students in our department first. There are eighty-six students in four grades in our department. Nineteen of them live in this city, and the remaining sixty-seven are from other places. It stands to reason that the six Seventeen people should live in the school dormitory. But now? Only forty-six people actually live in the dormitory, and 21 people are missing. The missing dormitory rate exceeds 30%. We rented houses outside, some shared with classmates, some lived alone, and some we didn’t even know who we lived with. How can we manage the students? I have reported this situation to Director Zhou before. But Director Zhou didn't pay much attention to it. I suggest that the department take tough measures to manage this matter as soon as possible, and stop pampering those students." Feng Tai's voice was filled with righteous indignation, and his expression was too solemn. Everyone was waiting for Zhou Yulou's reaction, but Zhou Yulou just said softly: "Mr. Feng, you asked the department to take strong measures, but why did we take out What about tough measures? The school has no corresponding regulations in this regard, and our students are already adults over the age of 18, and they have the right to choose where they live." "It's true, but once they do bad things outside, don't we have to bear the responsibility?" "Why do they have to do bad things outside? If they want to do bad things, they can do it even if they stay on campus 24 hours a day. We are an art school, and we train artists, not soldiers. Give them some freedom and cultivate Wouldn't it be nice to have a little openness?" "So the department has decided to let the matter go?" "It's not about ignoring them, but how to manage them, whether it is to force them to live or give them some correct guidance." "Hehe," Feng Tai smiled, "Not every student can understand your guidance." "Have you seen the grades of professional courses last semester, Mr. Feng?" Zhou Yulou asked.Feng Tai didn't say anything, Zhou Yulou went on to say: "I suggest that Mr. Feng also do a survey in this area, take a look at the results of the professional courses of the twenty-one students who missed the dormitory, and the just-concluded provincial art performance. Among the five people awarded by the Provincial Education Commission, three people missed out. Teacher Feng wants to strengthen management. I have no objection. The question is what effect do you want to manage, whether to let them spend four years learning to be well-behaved, or to be capable after graduation Something." The meeting room fell into silence again, everyone kept their heads up as if nothing had happened, only Zhou Yulou looked at Feng Tai. Feng Tai cleared his throat, "I will talk about the second thing, which is actually an old topic, the situation of students going out for performances. I also did some research, and among the 86 students, only 32 have not gone out to perform. Among them, there are nine that have fixed performance venues every week. There is even a boy who is not going to perform, but serves as a waiter, serving plates and drinks for others, which is really embarrassing to the Conservatory of Music..." "Shame?" Zhou Yulou raised his voice and interrupted Feng Tai, who stood up. "Ms. Feng, our students come from all over the country. Some of them come from less developed or even poor places. They go out to earn some money to help their families reduce the burden without delaying their classes or breaking the law. It's a shame. whose face?" "Schools have places to apply for hardship grants, and they can..." "Why do you want people to give you money when you can earn money with your own ability? In foreign countries, children of their age can already earn board and lodging expenses by working for host families. How can Mr. Feng describe them as embarrassing?" "I don't mean anything else. The society is so chaotic now, especially the entertainment venues. If something happens to any student, we leaders will be overwhelmed. Last time, the junior boy... ..." "Song Jiaze? Isn't the matter clear? There was a drunkard molesting the waiter in the audience. Song Jiaze went up and stopped him if he couldn't see it. Even if we don't praise such a person, we won't use it as a negative example, right?" Feng Tai ignored Zhou Yulou's rhetorical question. He glanced at the ceiling and said slowly: "If that drunkard really stabbed him, or our students gave him..." "I'll be responsible if something goes wrong, let's end the meeting." Zhou Yulou was the first to go out after speaking.There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, and then the teachers dispersed.After a while, when everyone disappeared, Feng Tai also stood up. Feng Tai walked into the shadow of the corridor, walking neither fast nor slow.He looked up at the room at the end of the corridor, and a short smile flashed across his gloomy face. Feng Tai. Feng Tai's fortune is quite legendary. Feng Tai is a tough guy. About Fengtai: Feng Tai is one year older than Zhou Yulou.Before going to university, he had been living in a small county not far from Xinjiang. The county was too small, and he had to work hard to find it on the map.Feng Tai liked music since he was a child, and Shenjiang Conservatory of Music has always been a holy place in his heart. However, it was too difficult to get into Shenyin under his conditions. Come.In those days, he worked hard every day, and finally passed the music department of a teacher training college.On the day he got the notice, he got drunk in the shabby tavern in the small county.That was the first time he drank alcohol, the first time he got drunk, except that he was not crazy, everything else was the same as Fan Jinzhong.He repeatedly said silently in his heart: Wait, sooner or later there will be a place for Feng Tai in Xinjiang Conservatory of Music! However, as luck would have it, after graduating from university, he returned to the small county town and worked as a music teacher in the middle school he left. Feng Tai likes to create in his spare time, and during those five years he aimed at the direction.At that time, Shenjiang TV's theme evenings were very popular, so Feng Tai wrote a lot of songs with a clear theme.He ran to Xinjiang twice in three days, worked tirelessly, ran back and forth, under the scorching sun and heavy rain... Finally, those songs showed their talents at the party.The singers of the songs are all third-rate singers who are half-red but not green. To be honest, the quality of the songs is not high, and often even the singers themselves forget after singing.But these efforts finally opened the door to Xinjiang for Feng Tai.Five years after graduating from university, Feng Tai was rated as an advanced individual of spiritual civilization in Xinjiang City, and was interviewed by an important leader.In the same year, he became a director of the Xinjiang Musicians Association, whose chairman is Xie Lan, the dean of the Xinjiang Conservatory of Music.Xie Lan likes this dark-skinned young man very much, and feels that he is not as casual as ordinary artists, but more calm.Xie Lan felt from the bottom of his heart that the Conservatory of Music needed such people.Thus, Feng Tai's turning point came! When Feng Tai was first transferred to the Conservatory of Music, he worked as a counselor in the Vocal Music Department. The environment is not favorable for Feng Tai.Most of the teachers in the courtyard looked down on him a bit.Feng Tai is not blind, he not only has a clear mind, but also has a sensitivity beyond ordinary people, but he endured it.On the surface, he doesn't care about anyone, but in the deepest part of his heart, he records every contempt and ridicule, even if it's just a small joke, or even a look that may not be related to him.He devoted all his energy to the management of the students, with good intentions, and naturally achieved outstanding results. In just one year, he was promoted to the director of the school office. Xie Lan liked this young man more and more.Although his skin is a little fairer than before, he is more stable.A few months later, under Xie Lan's strong recommendation, Feng Tai entered the advanced training class of the Shenjiang Municipal Party School. That is really Feng Tai's blessed land! When Feng Tai entered the class, the director of the Admissions Office of the Education Committee was also studying at the party school.At that time, the application for the expansion of the Conservatory of Music had been suppressed by the Education Committee for two years but was not approved, and this work was the job of the director.Feng Tai made an unannounced investigation, and finally found out——that he was actually a fellow of the director.He is ecstatic!The relationship was quickly established, and then there was an emotional offensive like a beast.He mobilized every cell in his body, with tears in his eyes, his old school class, his local accent, and his blood rushing... In the end, he won the chest-pumping promise of his fellow villagers. in his body.Feng Tai called Xie Lan overnight and asked her to quickly compete with the province for a batch of associate professors, making the faculty of the Conservatory look spectacular.Not to mention the school environment, a deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau happened to be in the study class, Feng Tai was building a good relationship with the deputy director, and at the same time discussed with Xie Lan, symbolically beautifying the campus environment, planting more flowers , Paint the concert hall too... The hard work pays off. One month after Feng Tai graduated from the training class, the Conservatory of Music was named the garden unit of Xinjiang City.Another three months later, the Education Committee approved the application for enrollment expansion of the Conservatory of Music, and the overall scale of the Conservatory of Music suddenly expanded, and Feng Tai immediately became the assistant director of the Vocal Music Department. Feng Tai's changes are astonishing. Feng Tai definitely has the capital to be proud, but Feng Tai is by no means proud.On countless rest days and holidays, he reverently rang the doorbell of Xie Lan's house, and asked the dean for advice on many vocal music professional issues.Although his hairstyle has changed from short to side parted at some point, his simplicity and persistence have continued unabated. "Do well young man, you have great potential for development!" Xie Lan told him. Everything would be fine, if there was no Zhou Yulou. Zhou Yulou's fate is so good, it seems that everything is specially arranged for him by God.After Xin Yin graduated, Zhou Yulou studied as a graduate student at the Juilliard School of Music for three years, and was soon named an associate professor after returning to his alma mater.At the same time Feng Tai became the assistant director, Zhou Yulou was also promoted to the deputy director of the vocal music department.All the teachers know that the future director will be born between these two people, and that young leader will probably sit in Xie Lan's office in a few more years.The Education Committee has been clamoring for a long time about the rejuvenation of cadres. Who among the young people in the courtyard has the ability to compete with these two? If the old director hadn't died four months ago, Feng Tai would have full confidence in continuing to compete with Zhou Yulou.Feng Tai felt that he coveted the position of department head by no means for nothing, as long as he was given time, Feng Tai believed that he would be invincible.But not now, now he is no match for Zhou Yulou anyway.I am just a lecturer, and Zhou Yulou has been an associate professor long ago.The number of his own papers is stretched, and his publications are lackluster, while Zhou Yulou has published papers in many core journals, and his "The End of Opera" is called the most subversive theoretical monograph in the industry.The book "Liberating Nature in Singing" was not only selected as a supplementary textbook by the performance department, but also highly sought after by many commercial training institutions.Apart from these past performances, at the just-concluded China Choir Festival, Zhou Yulou led 30 students from the Vocal Music Department to participate, and won the gold medal in the professional group in one fell swoop, which caused a shock in the entire industry. Zhou Yulou is in the limelight! The most terrible thing is that he immediately... No, he has become Xie Lan's son-in-law. How to fight? The dean's spacious office is just down the hall.It has been vacant for four months, but will soon welcome a new owner.Feng Tai was never afraid of failure, on the contrary, he was afraid of easy success, such success would make him feel unsteady and uncertain.He came here from a poor county, from a humble music teacher to today, every success is accompanied by painstaking planning, and every turning point is inseparable from hard work... He appreciates the process and enjoys it the risks involved.He knew that God was waiting for him to build a proud history belonging to Feng Tai, and he knew that it was time to think of a way again on his dangerous life path. Hasn't he already started?
