I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Ye Ming did not think Qin Ling was incompetent. On the contrary, he was convinced of Qin Ling's talent in music. But in such an era, it was indeed very difficult for a child from an ordinary family like Qin Ling to make a name for himself. If Qin Ling was born in a high-ranking official's family, Ye Ming would never advise him to think twice.

After hearing what Ye Ming said, Qin Ling responded: "Ye Ming, I understand what you mean. For an ordinary person like me who has no background and no connections, it is indeed like a fantasy to create my own path. But I really love singing, and I hope to treat it as a lifelong career and sing songs for the rest of my life. What I like most is to stand on the stage and sing to my heart's content. So, thank you for your advice, but singing is my dream. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up and I will stick to it. I believe that as long as I work hard, I will find my own path."

When Ye Ming heard these words, he looked at Qin Ling's determined eyes with admiration in his eyes. He admired Qin Ling's determination to pursue his dream. Then, he picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Qin Ling, I wish your dream will come true."

Qin Ling heard this and raised his glass to clink with Ye Ming, saying softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Ye Ming." Then, they drank it all. Putting down the glass, Ye Ming took a bite of food, and after eating, he said to Qin Ling, "Qin Ling, since you decided to start your own business after graduating from high school, do you have any specific plans?"

Qin Ling thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to go to Kyoto to find my aunt after graduating from high school. She has a job in a state-owned factory in Kyoto. I will live with my aunt first, and then try to join the Kyoto Choir to see if there is any chance to join the Kyoto music team." Ye Ming listened and nodded in agreement.

"If you go to Kyoto, remember to write to me in advance and I will welcome you."

Ye Ming regards Qin Ling as a friend.

If Qin Ling really goes to Kyoto in the future, Ye Ming will definitely be a good host and give him a warm reception. Moreover, as long as Qin Ling needs any help, Ye Ming will definitely help him without hesitation.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Qin Ling's fair face, and she responded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."

After dinner, Ye Ming and Qin Ling exchanged contact information, chatted for a while, and then left.

After saying goodbye to Qin Ling, Ye Ming returned to the guesthouse of Juhong Steel Plant.

After returning to the room, he simply washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

Time flies, and ten short days pass in a flash.

During these ten days, Ye Ming, together with Yu Haitang and others, exchanged various work experiences and skills with the young backbones of Juhong Steel Plant.

Whether it was representatives from the steel rolling mill such as Ye Ming and Yu Haitang, or Wang Yuan and others from the Juhong Steel Plant, they all gained a lot after ten days of exchanges.

Ye Ming and his party's friendly exchange trip at Juhong Steel Plant is also coming to an end.

In the evening, in a private room in the cafeteria of Juhong Steel Plant.

Ye Ming, Yu Haitang, Wang Yuan and others sat around the dining table, which was filled with delicious food.

"Director Qin, we have gained a lot and learned a lot from communicating with you during this period of time."

"On behalf of Juhong Steel Plant, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"I'll toast to everyone first."

Wang Yuan raised his wine glass, looked at Ye Ming and others, and said with a smile.

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming also picked up his wine glass in response.

"Chief Wang, you are too polite."

He drank it down too.

Then, Ye Ming poured himself another glass of wine and continued.

"Chief Wang, on behalf of my colleagues at the steel mill, I would like to thank you for your care during this period."

"I'm causing trouble for you."

After saying that, Ye Ming raised his glass again and drank it all.

After hearing this, Wang Yuan saw Ye Ming had finished drinking, so he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

After some workplace pleasantries, Ye Ming, Wang Yuan and others ate and chatted.

"Director Qin, I have already booked your train tickets back to Kyoto."

"Here is the ticket, please keep it."

As the dinner was about to end, Wang Yuan took out a stack of train tickets from his briefcase and handed them to Ye Ming.

Ye Ming took the train ticket and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Chief Wang."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's my duty to buy tickets for you."

Wang Yuan paused for a moment, turned his gaze to Ye Ming, and continued:

"Director Qin, if there is a chance in the future, you are welcome to visit our Juhong Steel Plant again for exchanges."

After saying that, Wang Yuan extended his hand to Ye Ming.

When Ye Ming heard this, he also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wang Yuan, and responded:

"Yes, certainly."

……

In the next two days, since the friendly exchanges between the steel rolling mill and Juhong Steel Plant had ended, Ye Ming, Yu Haitang and others were able to move freely.

During these two days, Ye Ming first selected gifts for Zhou Xiaobai, Ran Qiuye and others, and then, accompanied by Qin Ling, he toured the entire ancient capital of Xi'an.

That evening, under the big tree in front of the Juhong Steel Plant.

Ye Ming looked at Qin Ling beside him and said with a smile:

"Qin Ling, thank you very much for accompanying me these past two days."

Qin Ling heard this and replied coquettishly:

"Ye Ming, you are too polite. We are friends, and it is my duty to play with you."

At this point, she paused and said with a hint of regret:

"It's just a pity that we are so tight on time and there are still several attractions that I haven't taken you to."

Ye Ming heard Qin Ling's words, looked at her regretful expression, and responded with a smile:

"Qinling, I am already very satisfied that you can be my tour guide for the next two days and take me around the ancient city of Xi'an.

As for those places I haven’t been to, why don’t you take me there next time I come to Xi’an?

It’s not like I’ll never come to Xi’an again.”

Qin Ling heard this and nodded in agreement:

"That's true. Next time you come to Shanxi, I will definitely take you to visit all the places you have never been to."

After hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:

"Okay, it's a deal."

Then, Ye Ming looked at the watch on his wrist and said:

“Qin Ling, it’s getting late, I should go back to the guesthouse.

You should go home early too."

Qin Ling nodded and replied:

"Ok."

At this point, Qin Ling paused, stretched out his white hand, and continued:

"Ye Ming, I wish you a safe journey."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming also reached out and held Qin Ling's hand, smiling:

"Ah."

……

The next morning, Juhong Steel Plant sent two jeeps to take Ye Ming and others to Xi'an Railway Station.

After arriving at Xi'an Railway Station, Ye Ming took Yu Haitang and others to board the train back to Kyoto.

After a journey of two days and one night, Ye Ming, Yu Haitang and nine others arrived at Kyoto Railway Station.

It was already evening when they arrived at Kyoto Train Station.

At the exit of Kyoto Railway Station, Li Jianguo, secretary of Chen Guangyuan, director of the steel rolling mill, saw Ye Ming and immediately walked quickly to his side.

Stopping, Li Jianguo said to Ye Ming:

"Director Qin, thank you for your hard work. Director Chen asked me to pick you up and take you back to the factory."
