An Hua glanced at her and said seriously, "Why not? The theme songs for the TV series you sang previously all received good responses. There are many reasons why the album sales are not good. It doesn't mean that you sang badly."
Li Jingjing was still a little discouraged and stood there with a downcast look on her face.
Everyone in her family knew that she was a singer. They didn't understand her and criticized her every day, saying that she was overestimating her abilities, that she was an ugly duckling wanting to become a white swan, and that it was no big deal that she was a singer. She was just a singing girl.
Other street singers can earn a lot of money to support their families, but the money she earns is barely enough to support herself, otherwise why would she still live at home and only pay ten yuan a month on average to her family?
The money Li Jingjing earned was definitely enough to support herself, but under the verbal pressure from her family day after day, she couldn't help but doubt herself. Can she really make it on this path?
After the first album was released, this lack of confidence finally broke out.
An Hua saw her look and didn't say anything more. After a while, she called Yu Changqing over and handed him an invitation letter, "Send Li Jingjing to Japan to participate in the competition."
Yu Changqing took the invitation and looked at it. "Going to Japan to participate in the competition? Is this possible?"
An Hua said, "When she wins the award, we'll find a few newspapers to interview her."
Yu Changqing asked: "What if I don't get the award?"
An Hua glanced at him and said slowly, "As long as you participate in this competition, you can win a prize."
Yu Changqing understood, "Okay... I'll go and arrange to go abroad now."
An Hua: "By the way, arrange a place for Li Jingjing to live. Don't let her live at home after she returns to the country."
Yu Changqing agreed.
When Li Jingjing learned that she was going to participate in a competition abroad, she was stunned, "I, I can participate in a competition abroad?"
Yu Changqing: "Yes, that's right, it's you. Keep calm, your participation in this competition is not a real competition, it's just for gilding the coin."
Li Jingjing nodded, not quite understanding, and went home to pack up her things.
As soon as she entered the house, an unknown object flew towards her face. She narrowly dodged it and looked at the thing on the ground. It was a shoe.
"You still remember to come here? A girl is running outside all day, I wonder what shameful things she is doing!" Li's mother scolded with a gloomy face.
Li Jingjing looked unhappy. "According to what you said, all working women are out all day long, and what they do is shameful?"
Li's mother: "Are you working? How much is your salary?"
Li Jingjing: "It's not like I didn't give you money! Fourth sister is idle at home every day, why don't you ask her for money?"
Mother Li was furious. "How dare you say that? If you hadn't been at home with your hoarse voice howling every day, would your fourth sister have been unable to get into college?"
Li Jingjing's heart was already numb as it could not be any more. She did not want to talk to her mother anymore and went to pack up her bag.
"Where are you going?"
“I want to go abroad!”
"You?" Li's mother said sharply, "You're still going abroad? I'm telling you, don't go abroad again. I've asked someone to find you a blind date. Go see her this afternoon."
Li Jingjing didn't say anything. She packed up her limited belongings and went out with her bag on her back.
Seeing this, Li's mother shouted, "You're dead! If you're dead, don't come back again!"
"If you don't want to, then don't want to!"
When Li Jingjing got outside, her neighbor Aunt Huang stopped her and said, "I just heard you say that you are going abroad. What are you going to do? Don't be fooled."
Li Jingjing felt warm in her heart. Aunt Huang had been kind to her since she was a child. She often gave her food and let her go to her house to play. When she was a child, her family went to visit relatives. Li Jingjing was left behind because she was playing with her friends outside. Later, the door of the house was locked and she couldn't get in. It was Aunt Huang who took her in.
It was the coldest time of the year and it was snowing heavily. Li Jingjing was only six years old.
If it weren't for Aunt Huang, Li Jingjing would have frozen to death or gotten sick if she had stayed at the doorstep all night.
"Auntie, I was not deceived. My company arranged for me to go on a business trip abroad."
Aunt Huang also knew that Li Jingjing seemed to work in some singing company, so she felt relieved when she heard that. She turned and went into the house. When she came out after a while, she stuffed a bag of egg cake into Li Jingjing's hand.
“Take it and eat it on the way.”
"No need, ma'am..."
After some pushing and pulling, Li Jingjing couldn't refuse and had to take the egg cake.
As she walked out of the alley, she remembered what Yu Changqing had told her, that she should not live in her family after she became a king, and she turned her head to look into the alley.
After a few seconds, she turned around and left without any reluctance.
