Since the two of them only look for jobs that can pay daily wages, there are not many jobs suitable for them.
Either they needed to do some hard work like carrying construction materials, or they were part-time models, but neither of them was interested in either of these two jobs.
Although Xia Tian had been practicing martial arts since childhood and was in excellent physical condition and very strong, that didn't mean he wasn't tired from doing this kind of hard work. As for Qiu Mengyun, she was worried that she would be recognized as a model while working part-time, which would be embarrassing.
After searching for quite a while, they finally found a job distributing flyers. Relatively speaking, this job offered more flexibility, with no specific requirements, and anyone could do it. The only downside was the low pay, at only 15 yuan an hour.
But since they were out, they couldn't go there in vain, so they accepted the job. They started at 5 pm and worked until 9 pm, a total of four hours, each earning 60 yuan, which added up to only 120 yuan.
Holding the 120 yuan she had just received, Qiu Mengyun complained helplessly, "This is the first time I've felt that making money is such a difficult thing. I originally thought I'd work hard for two days to pay back the deposit I owed the landlord, but now it seems like a long way off."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Just be content. Handing out flyers is already a relatively easy job. Of course, it can only provide a living, but it's still difficult to make money from it."
Qiu Mengyun rolled her eyes and suggested, "While handing out flyers today, I noticed quite a few young men and women singing for money in front of shopping malls and parks. I took a quick look and the income seems pretty good. Do you think we can try this? If we can make money singing for money, it's definitely much easier than handing out flyers!"
"As long as we don't reveal our identities and just sing for money, the production team shouldn't stop us. But this isn't suitable for us, so we can't do it right now."
Xia Tian was not surprised by Qiu Mengyun's idea. After all, if a young music queen couldn't even think of making money by singing, then she really had a problem with her brain.
"Why? Others can do it, but why can't we? Don't you think it's embarrassing to show this to the public? I'm telling you, you absolutely must not have that kind of thought. We are singers and our job is to sing. As for where we sing, whether it's at a concert or in the park or on the street, it doesn't make any difference. We just need to perform each of our songs with our heart and soul, and don't care about the opinions of those boring people."
After being rejected by Xia Tian, Qiu Mengyun thought that he was unwilling to go out singing with her because he was young and embarrassed, so she immediately began to lecture him earnestly.
Xia Tian rolled his eyes at her and said, "When did I ever say that I didn't do this because I was afraid of being embarrassed by singing on the street?"
"Isn't it?" Qiu Mengyun asked curiously.
"Of course not. The reason why I said this matter is not suitable for us for the time being is because we do not have the conditions to do it." Xia Tian explained.
"Uh! Are you kidding? We are both professional singers, and you actually say that we don't have the conditions to sing on the street? Then tell me, if we don't have the conditions to sing on the street, what kind of people have such conditions and qualifications? What do those people who sing on the streets now have more than us, and how are they better than us?" Qiu Mengyun felt stunned by Xia Tian's answer, and immediately raised a series of questions.
Xia Tian smiled and said, "I didn't say we weren't qualified, I just said we didn't have the conditions. As for what those young people singing on the street have more than me, I'll tell you, they have one more guitar, one more piano."
"Tell me, how are we supposed to sing on the streets when we don't even have an instrument to accompany us? Are we just going to stand there and howl? Even if our singing skills are good and we can sing a cappella, do you think the audience on the street will appreciate it? Without instrumental accompaniment, I'm afraid few people will be willing to stop and listen."
Listening to Xia Tian explain the practical problems they faced, Qiu Mengyun realized she had overlooked an important point: even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if they both had excellent singing skills, it would be nearly impossible for them to sing for money without instrumental accompaniment.
She smiled awkwardly: "Ahem! So this is the condition you were talking about. I overlooked it. Then let's work hard to make money. When we have enough money, we can buy a guitar and go out to sing together."
Xia Tian: "No problem, let's talk about it when we save enough money!"
The two of them talked as they walked, but after a while Xia Tian suddenly realized that Qiu Mengyun was not following him.
He looked back in confusion and found Qiu Mengyun standing not far behind him, staring at a restaurant called General Lobster with a look of longing.
Xia Tian walked back, patted Qiu Mengyun on the shoulder and asked, "Come on, why are you standing here alone in a daze?"
Qiu Mengyun didn't move, but said very aggrievedly: "I'm hungry and can't walk anymore."
Hearing that this woman was standing there and refusing to leave just for a bite of food, Xia Tian said with a smile: "If you were hungry, just tell me earlier. I'll take you to eat right away."
Qiu Mengyun, however, held onto Xia Tian's arm and refused to leave. She pointed to the General Lobster Restaurant not far away and said, "I'm not leaving. How about we eat here? I smelled the food when they were serving it to the table outside just now. The lobster here must be delicious."
