Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, Tu Nian thought, and decided to fill his stomach first. Xiaoyangpo was really a nice place. Looking at those beautiful shops, Tu Nian inexplicably felt like he had forgotten something.
She couldn't help but slow down and think carefully: I brought the music sheet, the car was locked, the interview was at 8 o'clock, and the location was Xiaoyangpo... Wait, Xiaoyangpo? Tu Nian stopped, the sight of the rows of buildings in front of her made her heart skip a beat - where?
Now Tu Nian finally realized what he had forgotten. Before coming, Aunt Xu only said that the interview would be at Xiaoyangpo, but she didn't mention the specific address at all!
Tu Nian immediately took out his cell phone and found Aunt Xu's number.
"Answer the phone, answer the phone..." Tu Nian's breathing became a little faster, and he paced back and forth, leaving a few shallow marks on the inside of his lips.
"Beep-beep--" The service tone was still very firm, and it didn't sound like the call was going to be connected. Tu Nian was unwilling to give up and called several more times, but still no one answered.
What should I do? Tu Nian clutched the phone tightly in his hand, his brain working rapidly.
Could she possibly go find it herself? But Xiaoyangpo covers over 100,000 square meters. Where would she find such a large plot of land? A while ago, she could have just given up on this job, but next month's rent, living expenses, and debts still needed to be paid, and the performance fee was so generous...
Thinking of this, Tu Nian had already made up her mind. She looked around at the seemingly endless small sunny slope, slipped on her sneakers, gritted her teeth, and pushed open the door of the barbecue restaurant next to her.
"Hi!" Tu Nian stood at the front desk, his face instantly covered with a smile even more enthusiastic than the cashier's. "Do you know of an interview place for electronic keyboards nearby? It's the one held at Yaoguang Plaza on Saturdays."
"I'm not really sure about this. I've never heard of it." The cashier looked puzzled and shook his head slowly.
"Okay, thank you." Tu Nian nodded and turned to leave. Although the smell of barbecue was almost overwhelming, she still clenched her fists and walked out of the store without looking back - the next one!
"Hello, do you know where the interview location for the upcoming Yaoguang Park performance is?"
"Miss, do you know there's a performance interview spot nearby?"
"Hello, little brother, around here..."
“…”
"Okay, thank you." After an unknown amount of time, Tu Nian stiffly thanked the receptionist in front of him for the last time.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she squatted down weakly. She felt a sharp pain in her foot, and Tu Nian knew that the spot must have been rubbed again.
Something was wrong, something was terribly wrong. Tu Nian sat on the ground, feeling more and more that something was wrong.
Xiaoyangpo was large, but it was just an entertainment hub. She'd gone back and forth to thirty or forty shops, asking about every restaurant, shopping mall, KTV, and other entertainment venue within this half of Xiaoyangpo. The Yaoguang Plaza performances were already quite a big deal, so how could there be no one who knew about this interview spot?
She hoped for a lucky break and called Aunt Xu again, but sure enough, the tone was still busy.
Tu Nian hung up the phone and sighed: Is this ten thousand yuan destined to be out of my reach? She touched her empty stomach and glanced at her phone. She wanted to check the time, but she happened to see two small words under the date: Thursday.
She understood immediately. No wonder she didn't answer the phone. Aunt Xu was teaching today. She glanced at the time, and the screen jumped to 7:50. Getting to the interview before 8:00 seemed impossible...
"Tu Nian?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind her. Tu Nian turned around and saw the man wearing a black baseball cap, large sunglasses that almost took up half his face, and ordinary sportswear that made him look particularly tall and straight. She tentatively asked, "Bo Qiu...?"
Bo Qiu looked depressed, his brows furrowed together: "You can recognize this?"
"I recognized him by the voice, but when I saw him, I was a little hesitant to recognize him." Tu Nian stood up, and the pain in his foot rushed to his head.
"Huh," Bo Qiu noticed that her expression was a little unnatural. He didn't ask any questions, but instead joked, "Then I feel relieved. Otherwise, I would still be a little nervous walking on the street."
"What are you panicking about?"
“I was secretly photographed.”
“…” Tu Nian rolled his eyes.
"By the way, what are you doing here? It seems like you've been walking around for a long time." Bo Qiu asked.
Turning around for a long time? Tu Nian couldn't help but glance at him. Seeing that he looked normal, she felt that she might have overthought.
"Looking for a job, but it seems I failed." She looked away and shrugged.
"What happened?" She hadn't heard anything. Didn't Xu's Music Store ask her to come? After asking, Bo Qiu felt his tone was somewhat matter-of-fact. He coughed lightly and added, "Could it be that because I said something too much the other day, you don't want to work for Tang Zhe anymore? No way."
Tu Nian was momentarily speechless at Bo Qiu's narcissism, but out of politeness, he still replied, "It's just a short job that was messed up. It won't delay anything."
"Is that so?" Bo Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Have you considered my suggestion again? With your musical talent, if you could receive formal instruction..."
"Mr. Bo," Tu Nian interrupted him and said seriously, "Thank you for your advice, but it's not appropriate now."
Tu Nian spoke firmly and decisively, but the grip on the bag strap clearly showed signs of tightening, and when her eyes met Bo Qiu's, she instantly looked away.
Bo Qiu saw this series of reactions and he immediately understood: this matter must be dealt with by starting with the debt.
"Sorry, I was abrupt. Let's not talk about this." Anyway, he didn't come here to convince her.
Since Xu's Musical Instruments hadn't made arrangements for this performance, he would arrange it himself. If everything went well, she would be the most outstanding performer in the show, and all problems would be solved.
"If you're alright, I'll leave first. You go ahead." Tu Nian nodded slightly to Bo Qiu. Although her feet hurt, she left very smoothly.
"Wait." Bo Qiu stopped her and said slowly, "I have a job that might interest you."
Tu Nian stopped, turned around and looked at him without saying a word, with a hesitant expression.
Seeing her interest, Bo Qiu took two steps forward. Unexpectedly, the woman, seeing him approach, subconsciously took two steps back, her expression changing from hesitation to vigilance. Seeing this, Bo Qiu quickly stopped and waved his hand, saying, "Do you know that show at Yaoguang Plaza? If you go, it'll be 15,000."
How could such a good thing happen to me? Tu Nian was even more confused when he heard this.
