Chapter 62 B-4

The next day, Sang Li followed Shen Jie to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.That was the first time she stepped into Ye Yuxia's home, when she looked up, there was a huge still photo in the living room, it was the dazzling stage moment of Ye Yuxia in full costume. She looked at the still photo enviously, Ye Yuxia followed her gaze and smiled: "That was my first performance after returning to China, I played Carmen." She turned her head and exchanged greetings with Shen Jie: "Is your mother okay?" Shen Jie respectfully said: "Thank you, auntie, she is okay, she has been living in City G, and recently went to the United States to visit some old friends, so I can't go with her."

Ye Yuxia nodded and sighed softly: "To this day, I still remember your mother taking a photo with the governor after the performance, but in a flash, more than thirty years have passed, faster than we imagined. " She smiled, looked at Sang Li again, and asked Shen Jie: "What do you need me to do for you?" Shen Jie lowered her eyebrows and looked at her with a soft smile: "Aunt Ye, you are offending me, but I actually want to ask you to help her out." Ye Yuxia is also a smart person, so she didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at the desk calendar placed above the piano: "Can you give me a few days?"

Shen Jie turned to look at Sang Li, and replied, "It's at your convenience, her school will ask for leave." Ye Yuxia nodded and smiled: "Then it will be a protracted battle. You have also studied music, so you should know that this is not something that can be accomplished overnight." "I will bring her here every month," Shen Jie nodded and promised, "as long as you have time." Ye Yuxia looked at Sang Li with a meaningful smile, saw the little girl's face blushed slightly, and seemed to glance at Shen Jie quickly, but she didn't speak.

Ye Yuxia thought: This is an interesting child. On the way back to Zhongyue, Sang Li asked Shen Jie: "Do I have to come here every month?" Shen Jie drove the car without looking at her, but asked instead: "You don't want to come?" "No, no," Sang Li waved his hands hastily, "I just don't know how to explain it to my classmates and teachers, and I just don't know how to thank you for helping me like this." Shen Jie finally turned his head to take a deep look at Sang Li, smiled slightly, and turned his head to look ahead again: "First, Aunt Ye also said just now that you have good conditions, and she still admires you very much, it is a pity to give up; second, we will Come to Shanghai on days when you don’t have classes, so time is not a problem; third, you should know how to thank me, I’m a businessman, and I won’t make investments without returns forever.”

Sang Li lowered his head and did not speak. "I'll give you four months to think about it, Sang Li," Shen Jie said calmly, "In March next year, the provincial selection competition for the National Young Singer Grand Prix will be held on the provincial TV station. Zhongyue may be the sponsor. Your answer It cannot be later than that time." After saying this, he didn't say anything more, and even in the next three days, he just sent the driver to send Sang to Ye Yuxia's house for class, and never stepped into her room. Until they boarded the plane back to City G three days later, Shen Jie never brought up this topic again.

Shen Jie is a smart person: he is well versed in how to get along with people, he knows that there are some things, the more you keep your mouth shut, the easier it is to be tempted.He understands Sang Li's desire for the stage, he even sees through how much this girl wants to stand on the best stage and be watched by everyone, he believes that drums don't need heavy hammers. He guessed right: Sang Li did hesitate. In fact, at the age of 20, how could it be possible not to be tempted by this temptation that has been missed for so many years? On an autumn afternoon, Sang Li sat on an old flower pot in the depths of the flower garden, looking at the jasmine flowers that had lost their leaves, pinching a stone in his hand and drawing circles on the wet soil.

My heart was flustered and restless, like a little rabbit, jumping "dong dong". Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is a kind of panic and restlessness that will be despised, but if you are not Sang Li, you will not understand the contradictions and struggles at this moment. For a long time, Sang Li has been an outsider in that family: her father sees her as vague, Chang Qing sees herself as cautious, Tian Miao sees herself as cold-eyed... She wants to escape, but more importantly, she has to prove her escape is valuable. She couldn't forget her father's doubts about her choice of this path. On the night before going to the university to register, her father suddenly asked her: "Do you really want to sing?"

Sang Li nodded, vowing: "I will definitely sing something famous!" Sang Yuecheng didn't believe it: "Do you really think that all singers are famous? You read in the newspaper, how many singers are not selling in bars? How many can be on the big stage of the theater?" Sang Li sneered in front of his father for the first time: "I can do it, one day, I will do it." Sang Yuecheng gave Sang Li a strange look, and went back to sleep without saying a word.He didn't understand why Sang Li was so confident, but Sang Li knew - the reason why she dared to say this was because she had nothing for a long time.

Because there are no people or things that must be cared about, and she dared to try the hardships that ordinary people cannot taste, so at that time she firmly believed that she would succeed! However, she missed one thing at the time: she has Xiang Ning, and she is no longer alone. His kindness to her was unreserved.Unlike Nan Yang's childhood sweetheart, Xiang Ning did not regard her as his younger sister from the very beginning, but treated her as a girl he liked in one step.For this day, Xiang Ning brought her closer to Guo Yunhua and into the Art Academy. He wanted her to be the girl who could stand beside him and accept other people's smiles and blessings together.

Now, she does.And he is also continuing to work hard in a challenging city like Beijing. If the story stops here, it seems that she, Sang Li, will have a good life—for example, she can find a role in the opera house in the provincial capital, or stay in school to find a teaching position, and then go to Beijing and Xiang Ning when the conditions are right. reunion.Of course, it is difficult to enter the Grand Opera House, but it should not be too difficult to become a music teacher in a primary and secondary school in Beijing.If you're lucky, you might be able to get admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music as a graduate student, then you can still sprint to the opera house when you graduate...

However, is such a step-by-step life that tends to be mediocre, what she, Sangli, wants? After all, for a twenty-year-old girl, marriage is still an unattainable concept, and the promise of staying together for a long time is far less attractive than the beauty of being famous.Especially after accepting Ye Yuxia's guidance, when a completely different life that goes straight to the golden road is presented in front of her, can she quickly refuse it? She can't do it. Because she is different from others, she wants to succeed too much—she has had enough of the life of being despised and forgotten in her teenage years, and she is experiencing the glory and attention brought by occasional breakthroughs. This strong contrast makes her She instinctively looks forward to the glory brought by the stage, because this taste of being watched by everyone is enough to give her the kind of warmth that she cannot get from her family. It was a kind of respect, a kind of envy, and a sense of superior satisfaction.So, to be respected, envied, and affirmed by more people became her increasingly strong desire. No one knows how much she misses every report performance, because the applause and flowers surrounding her make her believe happily that she is very outstanding and outstanding, and she can stand in the middle of elegant art and at the same time stand in the Among the noble crowd! In the world of music, no one cares about whether she has a mother, whether she grew up in the absence of her father, and no one cares that she is a child from a small family, and on the contrary-her mediocre family has just become Evidence that she strives hard and never lags behind. Often, even the teacher would use her as an example to his juniors and sisters, saying: "Look at your senior sister Sangli, how do you practice professionally? You haven't been back to the dormitory before 11 o'clock in the evening! There is no piano room, so I go to the elementary school. Practice in the woods. You have to go out to work to earn tuition fees, be more self-reliant, and work harder..." Only one and a half years after entering the school, the name "Sangli" has become a name on the lips of teachers in the music department. It represents "diligence", "toughness", "hard work", and "sensibility"... Even in the eyes of everyone, if a student from the music department of our school can win the Young Singer Grand Prix two years later, it must be Sang Li! She was looking forward to that day so much. However, she also gradually realized how difficult it is to get the top three in bel canto in the selection competition based on her professional performance alone! What's more, if you don't agree to Shen Jie's conditions, you will never be able to take the professional courses at Ye Yuxia's. She is in a dilemma! But thinking of this, Sangli suddenly had doubts in his heart: there has never been a precedent for sending sophomores to study majors in this school, and his current level is indeed not enough to represent his province to participate in national competitions.Shen Jie boasted so much, isn't he lying to himself? A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Sang Li's mind, which made her startled: Is there any diamond in Shen Jie's hand?If not, why should he take this porcelain job?Does she really think that Sang Li is a fool, or is he able to cover the sky with one hand? That day, Sang Li began to feel uneasy in the autumn flower garden.She tried her best to think about the authenticity of this transaction, but she didn't realize that: Gradually, what occupied her mind was no longer the love of the past, but whether the transaction was feasible or not! Even she herself didn't realize that such speculation was the beginning of her heart.
