"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I plan to go to Xinjiang for research next year, but the specific time hasn't been decided yet." This is already part of Liu Zi's work plan.
"That's good, that's good. Xinjiang is a nice place, travel there more often. I hope you can produce more and better works." Teacher Wang said sincerely.
"Okay, Teacher Wang." Liu Zi nodded with a smile.
When Professor Peng heard that Liu Zi had dropped out of the Chinese Literature Department, he felt very sorry, but when he heard that she had never forgotten to study, he felt gratified.
He and Old Wang gave Liu Zi a few words of advice, their hearts filled with expectations for her.
After toasting the teachers, Liu Zi finally sat down next to Teacher Yu Hai.
"Wow, that's quite thoughtful."
Yu Hai jokingly teased Liu Zi, saying that he had seen her going around greeting people.
"There's no way around it, I'm young and have a lower seniority, so I have to put myself in a humble position!" Liu Zi said with a helpless bitter smile.
"It's only because you wrote two songs that they felt good about them that they were willing to give you more advice and guidance. Otherwise, how many other people are like you?" Yu Hai said in a tone that implied she was being ungrateful.
"I wasn't impatient! I was very obedient, please don't make fun of me."
"Hmph, I know you too well!" Yu Hai snorted at her twice, annoyed.
"Look, I've forgotten about the important matter. The store has launched a new product. Tell your aunt to go and try it when she has time." Liu Zi handed him two cake cards from the fruit drink store.
"No, your aunt already scolded me last time. How can I take your things for nothing? You're just a young girl, you have to raise your own child and also have to focus on your business. We can't just take your things for nothing. I'll tell your aunt about this later and have her come over and take a look," Yu Hai refused.
Liu Zi felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"Uncle, I'm not actually as bad off as you make me out to be. I need to earn this much to start writing a song these days." Liu Zi crossed her two index fingers to make a "ten" gesture.
"I started this fruit drink shop simply because I like to eat fruit drinks, so..."
Yu Hai pointed angrily at Liu Zi, wanting to say something but feeling it was wrong, yet feeling suffocated if he didn't.
"How can you talk about selling songs so casually..."
"The top three songs on the Hong Kong and Taiwan music charts are all my work. Those businessmen and singers are making a fortune, but I think they're selling them for too low a price! There are too few suitable singers right now. I'm working with Zheng Nan Records in Hong Kong to conduct a nationwide talent search, hoping to bring more fresh blood into the ranks of singers."
"By the way, Uncle Yu, I have a favor to ask you. Our final competition is being held in Hong Kong. Could you recommend a few judges for me?" Liu Zi suddenly remembered this.
"In what aspect?" Yu Hai asked after thinking for a moment.
"A solid grasp of music theory is preferred, ideally with some knowledge of popular music." Yu Hai had a wider network of connections in this regard than Liu Zi.
"I won't let you help me for nothing. The judges I found in Hong Kong are currently quoting 10,000 per episode, for about ten episodes. The prices here in the mainland probably won't be that high, but they shouldn't be bad either. I won't treat the people you found unfairly."
Yu Hai almost spat out his water when he heard this. He had heard that the performance fees in Hong Kong were relatively high, but he didn't expect them to be this high. If it weren't for his concerns about his identity, he would have wanted to go and earn this money.
"Please find me a few more people, and the music shouldn't be too traditional," Liu Zi said hesitantly, sensing the signal.
"Of course, we will also provide food, accommodation, and airfare," Liu Zi quickly added at the end.
Although Yu Hai was displeased with Liu Zi's statement, he remembered the reward offered by the other party. No wonder the offer was so high. So that's what they were waiting for. Who would be willing to serve them if the money was too little!
"Fine! I'll give you a list later. You can choose which ones you like and I'll arrange to meet them and talk to them." Yu Hai said irritably.
"Oh, Uncle Yu, you're so kind! I just opened a clothing store, and the down jackets I've got this time are all pretty good quality. I'll get a nice one for Auntie later," Liu Zi said obsequiously, seeing that the deal was done.
"You're only thinking about your aunt, what about your uncle?"
"Give it to my aunt. If she's in a good mood, you'll be in a good mood too! I'm helping you maintain your marriage, so you should thank me." Liu Zi was being hypocritical after getting the benefit.
"Okay, okay, thank you." Yu Hai snorted twice, then turned around and smiled.
Since meeting Liu Zi, the couple has indeed felt much more harmonious than before.
This little girl may look young, but she's really good at handling relationships between men and women. She's a real sweetheart!
His son is a bit of a simpleton and all he does is study; he's really worried that he won't be able to find a wife in the future.
If Liu Zi knew what Yu Hai was thinking, she would definitely tell him, "Don't laugh at someone who's no better than you. You and your son are pretty much the same."
The second half of the banquet began with song and dance performances. Liu Zi returned to her seat to watch. Performances that could be shown by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television were of very high artistic quality, and taking them seriously was the least one could do to show respect.
The entire hall was darkened by two shades to highlight the lighting effects on the stage.
Liu Zi watched the Guozhuang dance performance on stage, but her thoughts drifted far away.
In a previous life, a certain province in the Central Plains pioneered the Spring Festival Gala with dance performances. The Chinese-style dances were very popular among the people, and the traditional culture inspired national pride and brought aesthetic enjoyment to everyone.
I wonder if she will have the chance to bring these to the world ahead of schedule.
The ceremony lasted from afternoon until evening, and Liu Zi didn't leave CCTV until after 9 p.m.
As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she turned left. She had just spoken to Wang Jian, who said he was waiting for her over there.
However, to Liu Zi's surprise, it wasn't Wang Jian waiting for her, but her beloved boyfriend.
The man was tall and slender, wearing a cashmere coat and gold-rimmed glasses, attracting the attention of passersby who kept turning their heads to look at him.
Liu Zi was a little unhappy; her man was being coveted by someone else, and she was a little jealous.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Have you been drinking?" Li Mu's three questions immediately dispelled Liu Zi's ulterior motives.
She rushed over, hugged the man's waist, and buried herself in his arms.
Others can only admire from afar, but she can freely defile and play with them, which infuriates these people.
Li Mu caught the person who rushed towards him, opened his coat, and pulled the person into his arms.
"Are you cold? Why aren't you saying anything?" Li Mu whispered in Liu Zi's ear.
Liu Zi shook her head and rubbed her forehead against the man's chest.
"I'm so tired."
Socializing and entertaining people is exhausting, you know. She had been busy for most of the day and originally wanted to go home and get some sleep, but when she saw Li Mu, he embraced her without reservation. Her original seven-tenths exhaustion was now only three-tenths.
However, Liu Zi wanted to act coquettishly with him at this moment. In the past, she had envied others, but she never expected that one day she would think of the person who allowed her to be herself.
