Chapter 28 Oranges, Apples, and Melons
It finally rained in Jinan Prefecture.
After a downpour, the whole city smells fresh.
Best of all, the rain was over, but the sky was still cloudy and breezy. That kind of cool feeling, for a person who has been suffering in the sweltering heat for dozens of days, makes every pore of his body feel comfortable.
Qi Jie was wearing a moon-white suit and skirt, standing in the exit hall of Jinan Fuxi Railway Station, she was as bright as a lotus flower, people who came and went, even subconsciously, would look at her.
She had a smile on her face, earphones plugged into one ear, and her eyes kept searching the crowd out of the station.
In the past five days, she secretly recorded seven new songs!
Each song is a song that cannot be bought in a video store!
Each one is a great song!
Every song was a song that she listened to over and over again, but she never got tired of it!
Although the accompaniment of those songs is always just that guitar, and although the recording quality of those songs is far worse than the tapes sold in video stores, they are now Qi Jie's favorite!
As long as she doesn't drive or go to class, she will put on her headphones and listen to a paragraph!
Another wave of passengers poured out from the exit, Qi Jie tiptoed slightly to look in, and then, the smile on her face suddenly brightened.
She took off the earphones, raised her hands and shook vigorously, "Old Liao, Lao Liao, this way!"
In the crowd, Liao Liao had already seen her, couldn't help jumping up, and waved vigorously at her.
The passenger flow squirmed and scattered, and Liao Liao finally came out. The two yelled "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"I miss you so much, concubine!"
"Me too... you die!"
"I said, you're too crude, right? Why don't you pull up a banner or something that says 'Warmly welcome the famous singer Ms. Liao Liao to Jinan to inspect and guide the work'..."
"Go on and die!"
The two were laughing and joking, and it took Qi Jie a while to notice that Liao Liao was followed by a thin-looking girl, probably in her early twenties, who looked quite smart—with two bags in her hand.
"This is my Xiaomi, named Huang Wenjuan, just call her Juanzi!" Liao Liao introduced.
The other two rolled their eyes in unison.
Qi Jie reached out to pick up the bag, but Huang Wenjuan insisted on refusing. As an assistant, she didn't even carry the bag, how could she be ashamed to get paid?
So Qi Jie stopped insisting and led the two of them out of the station.
"Directly from the northeast?"
"No, I stopped in Jinmen for a while and went to meet someone."
"By the way, didn't you say that you were going to meet some big names to make an appointment? How was the result?"
"It didn't work. The one in Siping didn't even see anyone, and said he went out to collect folk songs. The one in Jinmen didn't even go in the door. I'm so thin-skinned, I really can't bear to call **. So... alas!"
"Did you go to Yue Ge or to fight pornography and illegals? Why are you still..."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it, my hope is pinned on you. But it is said that Cao Zhan from Jinan Prefecture is even more difficult to deal with. He is famous for his weird personality and bad temper!"
"I said, did you really come to Yue Ge when you came to Jinan? We also have big shots in your circle in Jinan?"
"Yes, of course! As for the Cao Zhan I mentioned just now, his lyrics and music are all top-notch. If he didn't have a bad temper, he could definitely become one of the top people in this circle. It can be said that he is the songwriter I admire and admire the most in this circle. His styles are changeable, and each style has a very outstanding masterpiece, either grand and majestic, or strange and evil, it is simply amazing By the way, it is said that he writes movie scripts at every turn... In a word, he is all-rounder! Oh, by the way, I don't know if you know his address, what is it called Jingsanxiaoweiliu... What is the name of the place? ?”
"Long three, small weft six? The old city, I know it well! Now, it's a little west, but it's still the center of the city, but... no, I've been there many times, and it doesn't seem like a residential area there. ?”
"Oh, that's not the address of his home. He opened a bookstore there. What's the name... Buwen Bookstore. Look at the name, personality, right? Over there in the capital, I don't know how many people want to move him In the past, he never moved his nest, insisted that he was a businessman, and resolutely refused to admit that he was a literati...is that enough?"
"We still have such a No. 1 person here... How rare! Okay, I'll drive you there later! By the way, I've booked the hotel, it's just an ordinary hotel, don't be too disgusted... Shall we go to the hotel first or the hotel?" eat first?"
"Eat first, I'm almost starving to death. By the way, do you have any class? Have you asked for leave?"
"Don't worry! In order to pick you up, I changed classes with other teachers in the first few days. There will be no classes today and tomorrow, and the next one will be Saturday and weekend... For these four days, the little girl can provide full accompany! "
"Well, I am very pleased!"
…………
The old sisters who had a good relationship back then and shared the same pack of sanitary napkins reunited after a long absence. Naturally, they couldn’t finish their conversations. Huang Wenjuan couldn’t get in her mouth at all. So, when she arrived at the hotel after eating, she consciously went to another open one. In the room, here Liao Liao and Qi Jie will automatically enter the Shenkan mode.
This chat is midnight.
Waking up the next morning, the three of them got together and went to have breakfast together, and then Qi Jie drove them straight to Jingsanxiaoweiliu. In Liao Liao's words, it's important to get down to business first.
There is actually a bookstore called "Buwen Bookstore" in the area of Jingsanxiaoweiliu.
The facades of the two rooms are in the old city. The buildings are a bit old, but they are full of culture.
After finding the place, the assistant and the driver were waiting in the car. Liao Liao took a box of demo records that were just produced a few days ago--it currently includes five songs that have been produced in her new album, and the previously released songs. A single - through the door.
Then, five minutes into the sky, she came out again.
His expression was blank.
"Why did you come out so soon? Hey, what's your expression?"
"..."
"Successful? Failed?"
"..."
"Speak up! Let me tell you, have you met the person you want to see?"
After getting into the car and sitting for a long time, Liao Liao gradually came back to his senses, but he was still a little unresponsive, and just nodded when he heard the words.
"seen?"
"seen."
"What do people say?"
"He said, 'Oh, got it, you go!'"
"……What does it mean?"
"I don't know what he means!"
Qi Jie turned her head and looked at Huang Wenjuan, both of them were at a loss.
Huang Wenjuan asked: "Then, sister, did you give me your sample?"
When Liao Liao raised his hand, the CD was still there.
What is this called!
After thinking about it, she said, "Wait!", then opened the door and got out of the car again.
Qi Jie looked back at Huang Wenjuan who was in the back row, pointed at Liao Liao who was entering the door, and asked, "Is... is she okay? Was it because you came all the way, that she was stimulated by something?"
Huang Wenjuan shook her head firmly, "That can't be done! Don't worry, sister, she can't be crazy even if I'm crazy!"
"Then what happened just now? What happened to her?"
"Could it be... that it scares people? You know, we've been shut down twice since we came all the way, and they're so upright that they don't even want to say a word. Poses, it is estimated that she is not used to it because of the kindness this time?"
This time it only took two minutes for Liao Liao to come down again.
"How to say?"
Liao Liao spread his hands, empty-handed, "I said this is my current song, if you have time, I hope you can listen to it, criticize and point out more, he said, 'Oh, put it down!'."
"Then... you came out?"
"Yeah, I just came out? What if I don't come out? People keep reading and ignore me!"
"Then did he agree to the song, or did he not?"
Liao Liao frowned in confusion, spoke for a while, and then said: "You don't know, he sat there, holding a book and looking down, that kind of style, too calm, I will just say what I want to say It's over, he said 'oh', and I don't know what to say next?"
Qi Jie exchanged a look with Huang Wenjuan subconsciously when she heard the words, and both of them had a look of "Damn it" on their faces at the same time.
Qi Jie said, "There are still times when you will be overwhelmed?"
Huang Wenjuan said: "Then you have to ask whether he agreed or not?"
Liao Liao looked back at the signboard of Buwen Bookstore, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Come on, let's go back first, I'll go back to refresh my spirit, and come back tomorrow!"
…………
Liao Liao seemed to be really stunned by Cao Zhan.
On this day, when she came down from the Lingyan Temple in Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, she always looked like a ghost, and it was not until evening that she regained her senses a little.
Qi Jie asked Huang Wenjuan in private, and Huang Wenjuan was not worried about Liao Liao, but expressed that she had no hope for the outcome of the trip.
In fact, after this trip, she didn't have much hope.
The result is evil!
When I went back the next morning, the other party actually agreed to give me a song!
Although he didn't have any on hand right now, and only promised to give it within a month, it was a promise after all!
This is the first achievement Liao Liao and the others achieved during this trip!
And according to Liao Liao, after listening to her demo after returning home, they even praised Liao Liao's voice.
Now Liao Liao immediately revived with full blood on the spot, yelling to go to Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, and Lingyan Temple!
The other two said they went there yesterday, but she insisted that she didn't go!
So, go.
After walking around for two consecutive days, everyone was a little tired. In the evening, Qi Jie took them to the ticket office to buy the tickets for the southbound journey the next morning, and then found a place to have a quick bite to eat, then hurried back to the hotel to rest.
As a result, as soon as Liao Liao returned to the house, he still had the energy to take a bath, but Qi Jie was so tired that he lay on the bed and refused to get up.
After Liao Liao came out of the shower, Qi Jie finally struggled to get up and went into the bathroom.
Then Liao Liao first turned on the air conditioner, stretched out his hand to feel the cool breeze, and then collapsed on the bed as if paralyzed. When he turned his head, he found Qi Jie's Walkman next to him.
Subconsciously, she took the Walkman and turned it on, took out the tape and saw that it was a blank tape. It seemed that she didn't know what she had recorded, so she immediately lost interest—maybe it was privacy! Of course you shouldn't be eavesdropping.
So she put it back as it was, and then a carp stood up and got out of bed, and boiled the water.
There was a splashing water in the bathroom, and under the hazy yellow light, a slim figure was reflected on the frosted glass door.
Liao Liao shouted: "Hey, beauty, do you need someone to take a bath? It's a free service, and the guarantee is that the big work is good and the people are bright!"
Hurrah, no one pays attention to her.
Unwilling to give up, she turned the doorknob and poked her head in, "Hey, that's ok, I haven't seen you in two years, and you've grown a lot!"
"Go to the side of death! Close the door for me!"
"Please, I'm praising you!"
"The devil wants you to boast, you orange!"
"You are amazing, how much bigger can an apple be than an orange?"
"But this girl has evolved into a muskmelon now!"
"Cut! Don't be stinky, at best it's a big apple!"
"Go to hell, don't watch me take a shower!"
