Now they are in their senior year and will graduate in June this year.
The school assigns jobs to students, most of which go to art research units and cultural institutions.
Wang Zhenni plans to go to work in her family's company as soon as she graduates, but Erniu hasn't made up her mind yet.
Zhou Yu talked to Erniu and hoped that she would stay in school, but Erniu had no interest in staying in school to be a teacher, so she was reluctant to agree.
Wang Jenny said, "You're good at your major, always ranking first in our school. You even study at the opera house in your spare time. With such strong professional skills, you're the only one who could be chosen." She winked at her, "I remember Director Liu at the opera house approached you several times, telling you to come to their opera house after graduation."
That's true. As graduation neared, every time she went back to the opera house, Dean Liu would talk to her about it. Erniu was at a loss for words, saying, "Yes, but I haven't made up my mind yet."
Wang Jenny said, "Graduation is still three months away, so we can talk about it then."
Erniu flipped through the lyrics book she'd written and composed herself, and replied casually, "Things will work out when the time comes."
Wang Zhenni turned around and saw the lyrics book in Erniu's hand. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "I suddenly remembered something that's much more important than graduation."
Erniu: "What's the matter?"
Wang Jenny quickly changed out of her Western-style puff-sleeved dress, pulled a flyer from her purse, and slapped it on the table. "Look at this."
Erniu leaned over, took a quick look, and read out the words word by word, "Youth Song Contest?"
Youth Song Competition is actually the abbreviation of the Youth Singer Competition held by the National Television. The champion, runner-up and third place winners of this program are of high quality and are almost all the backbone of the new generation of music.
Of course, the selection is also very strict.
The female teacher with high cheekbones who had troubled Erniu also participated in the Youth Song Competition in her spare time, but was eliminated in the semi-finals.
Although her character is not good, her singing ability is beyond doubt. However, the contestants of the Youth Song Competition are selected from all over the country. There are always better ones among the strong. It is normal for her to encounter Waterloo.
"Yes, the Youth Song Competition!" Wang Zhenni crossed her fingers and clasped them together, her eyes sparkling with stars. "Chen Ya, Er Niu, Niu Niu, you should participate in this competition."
Erniu was amused and asked her, "Why don't you join in?"
Wang Zhenni glanced at her coquettishly. "You know my singing ability, I guess I got eliminated from the audition." She stamped her foot and said, "Oh, why don't you just join in?"
Erniu narrowed her eyes and said, "Stop lying. If you participate, you will definitely pass the audition."
Even though Wang Zhenni has never looked serious, she still has some professional skills, after all, she is a professional.
Erniu put her arm around her shoulders and pinched her smooth little face. "Tell me, what's your conspiracy?"
Wang Zhenni's face was pinched, and she mumbled, "I'm telling you, I'm telling you, let go first."
Erniu let go of her hand, and Wang Jenny continued, "Because one of the judges for the finals is Amin! You know, my favorite song is 'Hot Coffee' from her latest album. It's so beautiful! She's my idol."
Wang Zhenni stepped forward and took Erniu's hand, "Chen Ya, Ya Ya, Erniu, just participate. With your ability, you will definitely make it to the finals. Then I will be your makeup artist and take the opportunity to sneak backstage. Then I can get close to her and maybe even get her autograph!"
It's not that she doesn't want to participate in the competition by herself. Being a contestant will definitely give her more contact with the judges than being a makeup artist. But she knows her own abilities and she can at most enter the semi-finals. She can sing other singers' songs in the auditions and semi-finals, but she must prepare her own original songs for the finals. They say that originality is valued.
Heaven and earth, this is really embarrassing.
Luckily, Erniu is here. Since her freshman year, Erniu has been writing lyrics and composing music whenever she has nothing to do. Even teachers Anton and Zhou Yu praised her songs highly. She'll definitely have no problem making it to the auditions and semi-finals, and maybe even the finals...
Erniu coaxed Wang Zhenni into giving in for several days, and the reason was simple: this little girl was too annoying. She would talk to her before meals, before bed, and even when Erniu was taking a bath in the bathroom, she would sit outside on a small stool and talk to her. She would definitely try to get Erniu to give in.
Erniu was defeated and filled out the registration form and went to register.
After passing the auditions and semi-finals and entering the finals, Chen Lie and Ning Tang finally learned the news from Erniu's phone call, saying, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to be on TV. It's the Youth Song Competition. Remember to watch it, both of you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lie finally realized, "Youth Song Competition? Is that the Youth Song Competition I'm thinking of?"
Ning Tang said, "Which Youth Song Competition can be watched on TV?"
It must be the youth singing competition held by the national television station that has produced many big singers.
Chen Lie slapped his thigh and said, "Our second daughter has really made it big!" He quickly stood up and said, "I have to go out for a walk and let everyone know the good news so that we can watch our second daughter compete together."
Ning Tang laughed at him, thinking, "Are you going out to show off?"
Chen Lie was showing off. In two days, almost half of the people in the military family compound knew that Erniu was going to be on TV.
When the weather gets hot, many people gather under the big banyan tree at the gate of the military family compound to cool off, and this becomes a topic of conversation among them.
"Hey, did you know that the second daughter of the Shen family is going to be on TV?"
"Which Shen family?"
"Master Shen's house."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is unbelievable! Didn't the eldest of their family just appear on TV not long ago? How come the second one is on TV again?"
"How can they be the same? The youngest in his family went abroad to participate in a swimming competition and was on TV, and the second oldest went to participate in the Youth Song Competition. You know about the Youth Song Competition, right?"
"I know, why not? I know. My husband and I watch it every weekend in front of the TV. I never expected to see someone I know at the Youth Song Contest."
"That's right. Erniu is the one we've all grown up with. Teacher Shen and his wife are good at raising children. She's such a pretty and charming girl. I heard she's currently studying at a music conservatory in Shanghai."
"Shanghai? A big city. I remember that so-and-so, didn't he? He also went to university in Shanghai..."
Ning Xue was passing by while buying groceries, and these gossips were blown by the wind and into her ears.
Her face changed and her pace suddenly quickened a bit.
The people under the banyan tree glanced at her.
"Hey, why hasn't Ning Xue been chatting with us recently? Didn't she like chatting with us before?"
"Well, that's because her two sons were successful and both got into famous universities in Shanghai, so she comes out to chat with us every day and show off. Now... her eldest son... hehe."
"What happened to her eldest son?"
"You're not going to college? You're not studying hard, you're addicted to video games, you got expelled, you're in debt, and you've been repeating two years at home, each year with lower scores. Forget about getting into college, you can't even get into a junior college."
"Alas...what about her youngest son?"
"I heard he's still attending university in Shanghai and has a girlfriend, but I don't know how he's contacted his family. Anyway, in recent years, no matter what festivals there are, not even Spring Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, he hasn't come home..."
When Ning Xue returned home, Su Junyan was in a bad mood when he saw her with a sullen face. "Why do you have such a sullen face? Who has offended you again?"
Ning Xue said angrily, "No one messes with me."
She said this in order to get Su Junyan to coax her, but Su Junyan couldn't hear her. He thought that just because she said it was okay, it really was okay. He said "oh" and continued reading the newspaper.
Ning Xue was furious. "Where's Guangzong?"
Su Junyan didn't even raise his head, "Upstairs."
Ning Xue walked to the stairs and said, "You don't have the time to read the newspaper. Why don't you work hard and earn more money?"
Although he had already paid back the more than 3,000 yuan that Su Guangzong had borrowed, Su Guangzong still loved playing video games when he returned home, and the expenses were not small, not to mention the fact that he had to pay for Su Yaozu's college tuition and his girlfriend's dating expenses. The family has not been able to recover in the past few years and has been living a tight life.
Seeing that Chen Lie has become a division commander, and he may be promoted to a higher position in the future, with his salary and benefits increasing, while Su Junyan seems to have no ambition, how can Ning Xue not be anxious.
After Ning Xue went upstairs, Su Junyan whispered, "If you have the guts to ask me to make money, why don't you go out and work and earn money yourself instead of ordering me around?"
As Ning Xue walked to the door of Su Guangzong's room, she heard noisy gaming sounds coming from inside, accompanied by Su Guangzong's excited roar while playing the game.
She pushed the door open suddenly, "Guangzong, you? Still playing games!"
Hearing her voice, Su Guangzong didn't even raise his head, still immersed in the game world.
In the past two years, technology has developed rapidly, and there are more and more fun games to play. He is simply enjoying it and doesn't want to leave.
Not long ago, he went to the game hall and heard other computer friends say that a computer is just a computer, and there are many fun games on it. A friend whose family is very rich bought a computer and put it at home, and invited him to play games like Pac-Man and Contra. Oh, it was so much fun.
Su Guangzong was thinking, should he ask his parents to install a computer for him at home? He also wanted to play games at home.
Seeing that Su Guangzong ignored her, Ning Xue called out again, "Guangzong!"
Su Guangzong turned around impatiently, "What?"
Ning Xue breathed in and out, trying to lift the corners of her mouth. "Guangzong, stop playing around. You haven't read a book yet today, have you?"
Books? Books are not as fun as games.
Su Guangzong curled his lips and said, "I'm not in the mood, no? Turn over."
Ning Xue smiled apologetically, "Just read some books. The college entrance exam is coming up soon. You're so smart. If you study harder, you'll definitely be able to get into college. Then you can play games however you want. Mom won't care."
Haha, Su Guangzong sneered in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, his mother never fulfilled the promises she made to him.
Once before an exam, his mother said that if they both scored 100, she would take them to the beach. As a result, they both scored 100, and his mother was very happy. She assigned ten more test papers and never mentioned going to the beach again.
Anyway, his damn credit has been broken by his repeated breach of trust.
If he still believes it, then he has been a fool since he was a child.
Su Guangzong thought so in his heart, and stood up and pushed Ning Xue out, "You go, you go right now, if you say one more word, I will never read a book again in my life."
Ning Xue was violently pushed out of the door by him, and she could only continue to smile, "Okay, okay, Mom won't rush you."
Even when he was pushed to the stairs, he still shouted, "Remember, you must study."
Su Guangzong slammed the door impatiently, making a bang, and then the sound of playing games came from the room again.
Ning Xue stood at the stairs and sighed deeply, her sigh filled with endless sadness.
July 20th, Saturday, is also the day of the Youth Song Competition finals.
An hour before the game started, Ning Tang, Chen Lie, Mrs. Luo and others were waiting in front of the TV.
Mrs. Luo was very excited. "It's been a long time since I heard Erniu sing."
Zeng Xinlan said angrily, "If you had told us earlier, we would have bought train tickets to go and see it in person."
Ning Tang was happy and poured tea for them.
The game began while everyone was chatting and laughing.
There were eight contestants in the final, and Erniu was the last one.
It must be said that all the contestants who made it to the finals of the Youth Song Competition were quite talented. After they sang a few songs, everyone was mesmerized.
Most of the tea and pastries were eaten, and finally it was Erniu's turn.
Da Wa also called, "Dad, Mom, are you watching Er Niu's game?"
Chen Lie: "Yeah, what's wrong? Are you guys watching too?"
"Yes, it's not just me, Da Hu and the others, as well as several of my workers are watching too." Da Wa's voice came from the other end of the microphone. It sounded very noisy, and they were outdoors.
When Da Wa learned that Er Niu was going to participate in the Youth Song Contest, he immediately borrowed a TV and set it up in the store. He dragged Da Hu and the others, as well as a few of the shop workers, to watch it together, showing off while watching, "See? That's my sister."
Erniu wore a long dress with a white background and green floral patterns, a headband of the same color on her head, and her long, shiny black hair was loose. Her facial features were bright, and as soon as she appeared, she attracted all the audience and judges.
As usual, before the singing begins, the host will exchange a few words with the contestants.
After Erniu briefly introduced herself, the host turned the conversation over to the judges. "Teachers, do you think contestant number eight is very beautiful? Oh my god, the moment she appeared on stage, I couldn't take my eyes off her."
When Erniu heard the host praising her, she curled her lips and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."
The female judge laughed and said, "She's very beautiful. Even if this girl doesn't sing, just standing there, she can debut with just this face."
When it was a male judge's turn, he curled his lips and said, "What's the point of being pretty? Don't forget, this is the Youth Song Competition. What we're competing for is singing." He snorted, "I've seen so many contestants who are pretty but can't sing well."
The host was embarrassed and tried to smooth things over, "...Contestant number eight is a senior student majoring in vocal performance at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. She has a solid foundation in her major and is both beautiful and talented..."
Unfortunately, the male judge didn't buy it at all. He just snorted coldly, "We'll see the truth later."
Being looked down upon by them, Erniu was not angry. She just smiled and said, "I will work hard to impress the teachers."
After hearing her say this, the male judge's face looked better. He thought, although No. 8 is too pretty and looks like a vase, she is still quite humble.
Da Hu looked at the TV, blinked, and asked Da Wa, "Why does the skirt Er Niu is wearing look so familiar to me?"
Da Wa said cheerfully, "Of course you're familiar with it. I forgot, this skirt is the latest model we've just arrived at our store. I specifically told Er Niu to wear it for the competition."
He? Wants to create a star effect!
Erniu looked so beautiful in this floral dress on the stage. After she gets off the stage, maybe some reporters will interview her or someone will ask her about it. Then Erniu can say that she bought it at Tangya. Wouldn't that make the advertisement more popular?
The game officially started, the lights gradually dimmed, and then a beam of white light hit Erniu.
The prelude of the music slowly sounded. Erniu took a deep breath, exhaled, and began to sing softly, "The white petals of the gardenia fall on my blue pleated skirt..."
Erniu's voice was soft and melodious. As soon as she opened her mouth, the originally noisy audience seats suddenly quieted down, and the judges who had been a little lazy just now immediately sat up straight.
Erniu caught a glimpse of the reactions of the audience and the judges, and felt more confident. Her voice, which had been trembling slightly due to nervousness, calmed down a lot, and she performed even better.
As soon as the song was finished, the audience burst into warm applause.
Some enthusiastic audience members even shouted, "Do it again, do it again."
The host walked onto the stage and asked incredulously, "Contestant number eight, is this a song you wrote and composed yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. The rules for the finals required contestants to have their own original songs.
Erniu smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The host exclaimed, "Are you sure you are really a senior student at the Conservatory of Music and not a professional singer?" This is simply a professional singing level.
The host then jokingly said, "When you release an album, I will definitely support you."
Erniu was amused, blinked her eyes, and joked along with him, "When you release your album, I'll give you ten copies."
Both the audience in the auditorium and the viewers in front of the TV burst into laughter.
Although the host and the audience all thought Erniu sang well, the judges' scores were the most important. The host said a few more words and then said, "Please, four judges, give your scores to our contestant number eight."
As soon as they saw the scoring part, Ning Tang and Chen Lie broke into a sweat, because although Erniu sang well, the previous contestants sang also not bad. Out of a full score of ten, three contestants had already scored above nine points.
Compared to Ning Tang and Chen Lie's nervousness, Erniu didn't feel much emotional.
She was only nervous when singing because she was worried that she wouldn't sing well. As for the scores and rankings, she didn't care at all because she was participating in the competition just for fun and to accompany Wang Jenny to watch her idol.
The atmosphere below was tense, but Erniu was still in the mood to look around.
He complained inwardly, "Hmm, the lights are quite bright. Teacher Amin looks much better in person than on TV?" Then he winked at Wang Jenny in the audience.
Wang Jenny was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that Erniu would still be in the mood to play with her at such a tense moment.
The four judges discussed among themselves for a while and finally agreed on Erniu's score.
The scoring was over, and the host received the signal and said, "Okay, the scoring is over. I wonder how many judges gave contestant number eight? What score did you give? Please raise your signs!"
Teacher Amin, representing the judges, took the microphone and said, "We have unanimously decided to give contestant number eight a score of 9.4."
"Nine past four?!" the host exclaimed.
It was half exaggeration and half genuine surprise, because 9.4 points was the highest score on the field right now. The highest score of the previous seven players was only 9.2 points!
In other words, contestant number eight is the first place!
When she heard that she had scored 9.4, Erniu opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
Shen Lie in front of the TV couldn't help but hold his forehead, why did his daughter look so stupid?
In other words, in his opinion, in the eyes of the judges and the national audience, contestant number 8 scored high points, and his innocent look was simply adorable.
Erniu spit out her tongue and asked again, "Did I hear it right?"
The host said, "Yes, contestant number eight, you heard it right. You got the highest score of the entire competition: 9.4 points!"
Erniu was still a little bit in disbelief, because the final score was a combination of the scores given by the four judges, and the male judge named Hu Song seemed to have some opinions about her, so she thought the score he gave would not be too high. So, on average, her final score would not be too high. But she didn't expect it to be 9.4 points.
Erniu turned her gaze towards Hu Song, only to see Hu Song nodding slightly at her with a look of affirmation and praise in his eyes, while the eyes and expressions of several judges beside her also showed some admiration and appreciation.
Only then did Erniu calm down and accept the fact that she had the highest score and won first place.
Erniu was dizzy during the award ceremony and acceptance speech. It was not until she got the heavy golden trophy in her hands that she came to her senses.
Back in the dressing room, Wang Zhenni was already waiting there. Seeing Erniu holding flowers and a trophy, she rushed over and gave her a bear hug. "Niuniu, you're amazing! First place! First place in the Youth Song Competition! Now everyone in the country knows you!"
Erniu pushed the little girl's face away and said happily, "How can it be so exaggerated."
But Mom and Dad should have seen how well she performed in the competition, right?
Thinking of this, Erniu couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Wang Jenny said, "That's not an exaggeration at all. I was sitting in the audience and when I heard you singing, many people in the audience sang along with you."
Being able to make the audience hum along with the singer involuntarily is simply the greatest compliment to a singer. What's more, Erniu is just a contestant, and this song is the first time the audience has heard it. It is truly amazing.
The dressing room is shared by the judges and contestants, and there are other people there besides Erniu.
Erniu won the prize, and other contestants came forward to congratulate her. Erniu was very polite in her interactions with others, and she was not proud of winning first place. This made the contestants who were a little jealous of her winning first place calm down.
What if she doesn't let it go? This contestant named Chen Ya is indeed very talented in singing. Not only does she sing well and look beautiful, but she also possesses the most important creative ability for a singer. I really don't know which window God has closed for her.
Wang Jenny nudged Erniu with her elbow, indicating her to look that way. Erniu followed her gaze and saw Teacher Amin sitting next to her.
Wang Jenny whispered, "You? Please help me get Teacher Amin's autograph."
Erniu also whispered, "Is it possible?"
"Of course," Wang Jenny said, "You won first place in the Youth Song Contest. It's not too much to ask the judge for an autograph. She'll definitely give it to you."
Erniu agreed, "Okay, I'll try it."
Wang Jenny happily blew her a kiss and said, "Go quickly. I'm watching you."
Erniu shook her head lovingly and was about to get up when she saw Amin walking towards them. He looked at Erniu with a gentle smile and praised, "Chen Ya, you sang very well."
Amin was the champion of several previous Youth Song Contests and is now a very influential figure in the music world. Erniu was truly flattered to receive her praise. "Thank you, Teacher Amin, for your kind words."
Amin smiled and didn't respond.
She was very impressed with Erniu's strength, and it was obvious that she had put in a lot of hard work.
As a senior in the music industry, she admires such hard-working and capable juniors very much.
Amin seemed to recall something. "Oh, right? I remember one of your lyrics goes, 'Some people, once you've missed them, you'll never see them again.' It's very meaningful. What brought you to that idea?"
Erniu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Teacher, I'm a senior this year and will graduate soon. After graduation, everyone will go their separate ways, and it may be difficult for us to see each other in the future. We can never go back to those carefree days, and the old friends will no longer be..."
The more Amin listened, the brighter his eyes became. He couldn't help but praise her, "Little girl, you're very talented." He pulled his business card from his pocket and handed it to Erniu. "Would you like to come to my record company?"
Erniu was stunned. "Record company?"
"Yes," Amin said, "I opened this with my friends. You're very talented in singing, and I'd like you to join us."
Erniu was a little hesitant.
Wang Jenny shook her hand, her eyes sparkling as she urged, "Hurry up and agree."
This is an olive branch extended by the boss.
Erniu was still a little hesitant.
Seeing Erniu hesitant, Amin said, "It's okay. You can think about it again. My phone number is on the business card. Just think it over and get back to me."
Erniu curled her lips and said, "Okay, Teacher Amin."
After saying that, he pushed Wang Jenny forward and said, "This is my good friend, Wang Jenny. She loves your songs, especially the one called 'Hot Coffee.' She really, really loves it. She plays it on repeat in our dormitory every day. Could you please sign an autograph for her?"
Wang Jenny crossed her hands and clenched them tightly, looking at Amin, her eyes full of tension.
Amin was delighted. He picked up the paper and pen on the table and quickly signed his name. After a moment's thought, he wrote a blessing and handed the signature to Wang Zhenni. "Here, this is for you. I wish you happiness every day and academic success."
After handing Wang Jenny the signature paper, he also shook hands with her.
Wang Jenny was so excited that her heart was pounding.
Amin left for a while before she reacted. She rubbed her red face with the back of her hand and said, "Oh my god, I actually held Amin's hand. Erniu, pinch me and see if I'm dreaming."
Erniu reached out and pinched her smooth little face. Wang Zhenni grinned and said, "It's really not true? I must be dreaming. I'm going to frame Teacher Amin's autograph and look at it every day."
Then he asked Erniu, "By the way, do you want to join Teacher Amin's record company?" He shook Erniu's arm and said, "Join, join! That's Teacher Amin's record company, very famous in the industry!"
Erniu was delighted. "If I join, you can see Teacher Amin every day, right?"
Wang Jenny laughed awkwardly. "Hey, I can't hide anything from you."
Erniu actually wanted to join, because Teacher Amin said that if she joined their record company, she would not only be able to release an album, but also be able to communicate and learn with many music masters. To be honest, she was very tempted.
No? But I still need to discuss this with my parents.
Erniu was thinking as she walked out with Wang Zhenni. As soon as they arrived at the door of the TV station, they were surrounded by a group of reporters who swarmed in.
They held up microphones and cameras, vying to interview Erniu. "Chen Ya, Chen Ya, look here." "I want to ask you a few questions."
Was Erniu frightened? Or was Wang Zhenni experienced in this kind of situation? She protected Erniu and said, "Don't push, don't push. Those who want to interview Miss Chen Ya, please come one by one."
Erniu chose a female reporter because she asked about her feelings about the competition and clothing issues.
The female reporter held the microphone close to Erniu's mouth, "Chen Ya, I want to interview you. What brand of clothes are you wearing today? They are very close-fitting and beautiful." She winked at her, "I'm sure many female compatriots would like to know this question."
Her words made everyone laugh, including Erniu. "This dress is from a Shanghai brand called Tangya." She turned around and said, "Isn't it really beautiful? They have a lot of beautiful clothes like this. My wardrobe is basically full of their clothes..."
A week later, looking at the sudden surge in customer traffic and the small report in the newspaper, Da Wa burst into tears and said, "Sisters are still the best in the world."
Erniu also called home, "Hello, Mom."
Ning Tang asked, "Oh, by the way, are you going home for the Spring Festival this year?"
Erniu asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Lie chimed in, "Sister Luo and Zhou Caiwei said they want your autograph, big star."
Erniu's face turned red after being teased. She stamped her feet and yelled, "Dad!"
Chen Lie said happily, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Erniu paused, then continued, "Dad, Mom, I should be back this Spring Festival. Oh, and there's a record company that wants to sign me. It's the one that that female singer Amin co-founded. It seems to be called Phoenix Records."
"Phoenix Records? She wants to sign you?!" Ning Tang exclaimed in surprise, because in the future, this Phoenix Records Company will be known to everyone, every singer in it will be a big name in the industry, and the songs produced by this company will cover almost half of the Chinese music scene.
Although the company is good, it depends on whether Erniu likes it. Ning Tang asked, "So you? Do you want to sign?"
Erniu thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Yes."
Shen Lie was surprised. "Why? I remember your school teacher and the director of the opera house said they would give you a job with good benefits."
He thought Erniu would choose one of these two jobs after graduation.
Erniu thought, it’s great, but the feeling of standing on the stage and singing loudly is something that cannot be compared to teaching and educating people as a teacher or singing opera in an opera house.
Ning Tang made the final decision, "Then let's sign it."
