"Auntie, are you kidding me? I'm willing to sign a contract with the organizer, but they have to sign me. If you're free sometime, come listen to me sing. If you can hold it for more than two minutes, you'll be closer to me than I am to you!"
Mrs. Qin was amused by Wen Ying.
"You little rascal, you're trying to trick people again!"
"I really didn't lie to you."
People are so strange. Mrs. Qin knew that Wen Ying was trying to change the subject, but she couldn't help laughing and even thought Wen Ying was cute.
Mrs. Qin was just skeptical, but Qin Yi knew that Wen Ying was actually a pretty good singer.
After the last audition, Xu Mei and Li Mengjiao were both shortlisted, so Qin Yi took everyone to KTV to celebrate. Wen Ying had sung before.
He was making fun of himself now just to avoid embarrassment... No wonder his father liked Wen Ying so much. No one would hate someone who lived soberly and transparently. Fu Jing should really learn from Wen Ying's ability.
Qin Yi now thinks back that Xu Mei didn't care much about the talent show at first, but Fu Jing kept encouraging her, and Xu Mei became more and more concerned.
Xu Mei would choose to sign the contract before the game, hiding it from her boyfriend, but not from Fu Jing.
Fu Jing not only interfered in Xu Mei's life, but also in his relationship with Xu Mei. Qin Yi thought of what Fu Jing said after Xu Mei signed the contract. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed - he was in a relationship with Xu Mei, and the pace of their relationship should be controlled by him and Xu Mei together. What did it have to do with Fu Jing?
Wen Ying was coaxing Mrs. Qin when Xie Qian appeared at the door.
Oh, Xie Qian came out to save her!
Wen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
After greeting the Qin family mother and son, Xie Qian turned to Wen Ying and asked, "I have something to do at home, so I need to go back first. Should we take a taxi together?"
Wen Ying raised her head and said, "Okay, if you don't go back, my mom will be worried. Wait a minute, I'll go in and say hello to Qin Jiao and the others."
Mrs. Qin waved her hand and said, "Don't go in. You two should go home early. I'll talk to Jiaojiao and the others."
"Goodbye, Auntie. Goodbye, Brother Qin!"
Wen Ying walked without dragging her feet. Madam Qin looked at her from behind and laughed, "She's running so fast, as if I'm going to eat her."
Qin Yi was helpless: "Mom, if you let Wen Ying comment on the matter between Xu Mei and me, she will definitely be scared away."
Madam Qin snorted softly, "You see other people's affairs clearly, but when it comes to yourself, you're blinded by one leaf... Never mind, this is your own feeling, I won't interfere."
In the hall, Xu Mei finally discovered that her boyfriend Qin Yi had disappeared for some time, and Qin Yi's mother was also missing.
Xu Mei bit her lip. "I didn't tell Qin Yi about the contract. He's so smart, he must have figured it out by now. Do you think he'll be very angry?"
Fu Jing disagreed: "Other people's girlfriends are all acting up. You are understanding, which is not wrong, but you don't have to be so cautious! Instead of thinking about whether Qin Yisheng is angry or not, you might as well think about how to talk to your family."
The Xu family knew about the competition.
Xu Mei’s parents didn’t know about the contract with the company.
Xu Mei planned to keep it a secret for the time being, and then tell others when he couldn't hide it anymore.
"Even though I've signed a contract with the company, I won't give up on the school. I'll buy a ticket back to Shanghai tomorrow and rush to Hunan Province before the finals."
In 2004, domestic universities still had very strict management of students. The key university in Shanghai where Xu Mei studied was not an art school, and they would never support students taking long vacations to participate in talent shows.
Xu Mei has already prepared to travel between Shanghai and Hunan Province.
For Xu Mei, who is still a student, if she doesn't use Qin Yi's money, she will have to travel back and forth between Shanghai and Hunan Province several times within a month, and the airfare will be a considerable burden.
Of course, Xu Mei thinks these difficulties can be overcome. After all, she has signed a contract with the company. She will be financially tight before the annual finals. After the competition, the company will let her participate in commercial performances, and then she will have income!
Xu Mei looked forward to that day coming sooner.
…
Xie Qian stopped a taxi and sent Wen Ying home first.
Neither of them mentioned the talent show again on the way. They went to watch the competition because of Li Mengjiao. They had already expected that Li Mengjiao would miss the championship of the Chengdu competition area.
However, when the result was just as they expected, Wen Ying felt a little discouraged.
I didn't expect that after being reborn, I would still have to face social reality so early.
She herself cannot escape it, and neither can her friends. Most students are in a daze, which is not necessarily a misfortune. The more awakened people are, the sooner they should face these "unspoken rules".
"Are you unhappy because Li Mengjiao didn't win the championship? Didn't you say that the organizers would most likely let the runner-up participate in the annual finals? Li Mengjiao still has a chance."
Xie Qian tried to comfort Wen Ying, but she shook her head. "I know there's no such thing as a free lunch. The organizers organized this large-scale, interprovincial talent show solely for profit. Li Mengjiao didn't follow their 'rules', so it's not surprising they didn't give her the championship, but..."
"But you understand everything, yet you're still angry about it, thinking Li Mengjiao is being treated unfairly."
Xie Qian slowed down his voice.
This is Wen Ying.
Wen Ying, the one Xie Qian is familiar with and who is kind to everyone around her.
"You can't fight for Li Mengjiao's unfair treatment. She has to become stronger herself. Most of us have to abide by the rules, unless we are strong enough to ignore them and crush them."
What Xie Qian said was absolutely his true feelings.
Thinking that Xie Xueba had been relying on his strength to crush various rules since he was a child, and even making new rules of his own, Wen Xuezha almost burst into tears.
"I understand! Master, please stop at the intersection ahead!"
