Two hours later.
A small town near Kyoto.
This city is adjacent to Kyoto, less than two hours' drive from the central area of Kyoto, but both housing prices and various consumption are much lower.
Therefore, many young people who come to Kyoto to make a living choose to live and work here.
Although I have to take the subway or bus every morning and travel for two or three hours to work in Kyoto, I also have to take the bus back to my small home in Baorong after get off work in the afternoon.
But even so, for young people who are temporarily unable to settle down in Kyoto, this is already the best option.
Just like the name of this small town, Baorong.
It embraces those young wanderers who have left their hometowns and are wandering without roots. At least here, it gives them a temporary home that they can afford.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Preserve a vegetable market near a community.
This is the peak time when people returning from get off work in Kyoto rush to the vegetable market to buy food for dinner.
There was a bustling crowd at the entrance of the vegetable market, with men and women coming and going in a hurry and looking tired.
When Xiao Ye parked his car in front of the vegetable market as instructed by Yang Jiaxin, he was very confused.
"Sister Yang, what are we doing here?"
After driving for more than two hours from Kyoto to get here, Xiao Ye thought Yang Jiaxin wanted to ask his connections for help for the Golden Melody Awards.
But unexpectedly, Yang Jiaxin directed him to drive in a winding way to such an ordinary vegetable market.
"She should be out for a while."
Yang Jiaxin looked at her watch and suddenly said to Xiao Ye:
"Do you want to hear a story?"
Xiao Ye looked at her with a little vigilance, feeling that something seemed a little wrong with Yang Jiaxin today.
These days, although Yang Jiaxin asked Xiao Ye to accompany her to practice singing, she did not do anything excessive.
Now that the new song has been released and Yang Jiaxin is not so busy anymore, will she want to take action on herself?
"Ten years ago, I had a friend... well, not really a friend, more of a colleague."
Yang Jiaxin ignored Xiao Ye's wary look, leaned back in her chair a little tiredly, and stared at the entrance and exit of the vegetable market opposite.
"Her name is Yue Yue. We both sing in bars. I sing well and I'm pretty. Yue Yue..."
Yang Jiaxin closed her eyes and continued expressionlessly:
"She sings better and looks prettier. She always performs during prime time and receives the most applause and flowers. Even if I'm on the same stage with her, all eyes will be on her.
And I am inferior to her in every aspect, as if I was born to be her foil.
One day, a talent scout from a big company came to her and wanted to sign her as a professional singer.
This is the opportunity every resident singer dreams of.
Fortunately, the talent scout from that big company also noticed me.
But he said that I was just a backup candidate, and he would only choose me if Yue Yue was unwilling.
So, I seized the opportunity and took the initiative to find the scout before Yue Yue agreed.
I begged him to sign me because I was ambitious and only ambitious people could create value for their company.
Finally, I convinced him.
Grab this opportunity from Yue Yue's hands."
Xiao Ye listened to Yang Jiaxin calmly, but somehow, he always felt that there seemed to be some interesting details in this story.
This is indeed the case. Yang Jiaxin concealed the most crucial part of the story.
When she learned that Chen Qiao, then deputy director of Shenxin Music Department, had personally invited Yue Yue, Yang Jiaxin found out the hotel where Chen Qiao was staying. That night, she went into Chen Qiao's room alone...
The next day, Chen Qiao gave up Yue Yue and chose Yang Jiaxin.
Xiao Ye naturally didn't expect there was such a hidden secret, he just asked curiously:
"So, what happened to the female singer named Yue Yue? Did another company sign her?"
Yang Jiaxin sneered: "After knowing that I had snatched away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yue Yue left the bar soon after and never sang again."
Xiao Ye looked at Yang Jiaxin's slightly distorted face, not knowing what to say.
"It's been ten years. In fact, I have been looking for her. A few days ago, Liu Feng finally found her."
Yang Jiaxin stared straight at the vegetable market across the street with a sarcastic smile on her face:
"Want to know what her life is like now?"
Xiao Ye didn't say anything.
Yang Jiaxin didn't care and suddenly opened the car door.
"Let's go, it's almost time."
Xiao Ye had no choice but to get off the car.
The two stood beside the car, not knowing what they were waiting for.
More than ten minutes later, a woman dressed simply but conspicuously walked out of the vegetable market.
The woman was wearing a very ordinary down jacket, had short hair, a not very white face, and some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
She is just like an ordinary woman who works during the day and takes care of the family at night.
However, she always seemed to have a gentle smile on her face, which made people feel a sense of peace and happiness in their hearts when they looked at her from afar.
The woman walked out of the vegetable market quickly, carrying a bag in one hand and a bag of vegetables in the other, just like the pedestrians around her who were rushing to and fro.
Yang Jiaxin smiled coldly and walked forward to greet the woman.
The short-haired woman was slightly stunned when she saw someone walking towards her. Then, as if she recognized Yang Jiaxin who was wearing a mask and sunglasses, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
"Yue Yue, long time no see."
Yang Jiaxin walked up to the short-haired woman, slowly took off her sunglasses, and had a sarcastic smile on her face.
