I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

(Two chapters in one)

Under the careful guidance of two famous piano teachers, Jingyi showed excellent talent in both musical sense and fingering.

Xu Yueling is working harder and harder as she teaches! She didn't have the same opportunity as Xiao Jingyi before, and she hopes that she can catch up with her achievements in piano.

This year, a news story was published in the newspaper that a music director of an entertainment company, due to an emotional dispute with a female movie star, held the female movie star hostage at knifepoint. After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade her, he was shot dead by the special police who arrived shortly after.

Cheng Yunxian was completely bewitched by You Fengxia's natural charm. After being entangled for more than half a year, You Fengxia finally broke up with him. Cheng Yunxian lost his mind and actually did such a crazy thing.

Xu Yueling received a call from Qin Ran as soon as possible. These two people were employees of her Xinghai Culture Media, and they were overwhelmed for a while, so they could only let the public relations department handle this emergency.

Xinghai Culture Media Company is now the largest entertainment company in China. Its artists are all stars, and the company's market value is also amazing. Now that the company has such a scandal, it must suppress public opinion as soon as possible.

The matter was finally settled, and Xu Yueling finally felt relieved. If this problem was not solved, when little Jingyi grew up and had a promising future, who knows how serious Cheng Yunxian would cause trouble.

Because of this incident, You Fengxia was transferred to Hong Kong by the company. There, she thrived and became a popular porn star in the Hong Kong film industry with her natural charm.

Under Xu Yueling's careful instruction, Jingyi performed on TV at the age of six. The audience was impressed by her superb piano skills despite her young age. She has a bright future ahead of her.

In the second year after Xiangjiang returned to the embrace of the motherland, Fang Lei took Jingyi to Xiangjiang to study under the arrangement of Xu Yueling. Jingyi was arranged by the Lou family to study at the Diocesan Girls' College, Xu Yueling's alma mater in her previous life.

As her daughter's schoolmate, Fang Lei moved into the Repulse Bay Villa No. 12 that Xu Yueling had bought a long time ago. The Lou family also took great care of them in Hong Kong, and Huaihua would sometimes invite Fang Lei out to sit with them, just like they were relatives.

Time slowly came to the new century. After only five or six years, the development of Red Star Group unexpectedly entered a stagnation, and production profits also fell sharply. In this short period of time, the company's general managers have been replaced twice.

Without Xu Yueling to come up with new technologies and new car models for upgrading from time to time, the Red Star Group can only rely on its past achievements.

The Red Star Group started to lose money in 2005. The higher-ups wanted to transfer Xu Yueling back to help out, but she declined, saying she could no longer keep up with the company's development.

She no longer has the motivation to work. After working diligently for more than 30 years, she now only wants to wait until retirement age and then enjoy her life.

A guest came to her office that day, and it was her old friend Qin Fen who had been in office for decades. He was appointed as the new general manager of Red Star Group and came to learn from Xu Yueling.

"I've read the resumes of your previous general managers. They all took advantage of their fathers' influence and were stubborn and self-willed. In just ten years, they turned an industry leader into this."

Facing Qin Fen, Xu Yueling spoke freely. The two had known each other for decades and knew each other well.

"I asked you to go back and take charge of the situation, but you disagreed. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over this mess. Do you have any solutions that you can teach me?" Qin Fen raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"I haven't been in charge of the company for nearly eleven years. But for a company to develop, it must innovate its products. This is an eternal truth. I heard that the joint venture partner Lou has a newly designed advanced model. You can go and try it."

Xu Yueling gave him the appropriate information. The joint venture was in a downturn, and the Lou family had come to her a long time ago. If the technology was kept in their hands, it would become outdated sooner or later, so Xu Yueling gave a new model to the Lou family.

"Petrochemical engines have reached their peak and there will be no more potential to be tapped. Electric vehicles will be the trend in the future. I suggest that we set up a new research department to vigorously develop electric vehicles." Xu Yueling continued to give him advice.

"Isn't the West vigorously researching hydrogen energy? Can electric cars do it?" Qin Fen asked in surprise.

"The hydrogen energy path will not be viable in the future. Electric vehicles will soar as long as the problem of battery energy storage is solved." That's all Xu Yueling could say. How much Qin Fen could listen to was not something she could control.

"Is Yuan Mei busy with work now? I haven't seen her for a while. Go back and bring me a message asking her to come over so we can get together." Seeing that Qin Fen was about to talk about work, Xu Yueling quickly changed the subject.

"We are both busy with our own work! We rarely even have the opportunity to eat together. I envy you and my second sister. Our work is easy and comfortable."

Qin Fen also had work to do, so after the two chatted for a few more words, they stood up and said goodbye. With the new model designed by the Lou family, the Red Star Group can stop its decline in time. His steps of leaving became relaxed.

A few years ago, He Daqing and the two elders of the Xu family passed away one after another. Xu Damao also resigned from Xinghai Culture Media Company, and Xu Yueling transferred all her shares in Sha Zhu to Xu Damao.

Now Sha Zhu is also successful in his career, with enviable assets under his name. At the age of 70, he handed over his property to his son He Xiao. He started his retirement life with Teacher Ran, and he and 68-year-old Xu Damao hang out together all day. The two old couples visit each other very frequently!

As soon as Xu Yueling turned 60, she submitted a report to the higher authorities to apply for retirement. She submitted it three times in a row and finally stepped down from her position as deputy mayor.

Now she was free from official duties. She returned the small western-style house allocated to her by the government, packed up her things and moved into the Lou Mansion in Dongdan.

But within a few days, she was dragged into Xinghai Culture Media Company by Qin Ran. Xu Yueling refused to hire her and only served as a consultant in the company. She didn't need to go to the company every day, but provided a script and composed two songs when needed.

Yushui has also retired and is taking care of her grandchildren at home. Xu Yueling often drags her out to travel around, and she envies her sisters for having such a carefree life.

She got bored with staying in China so she went to live in Hong Kong for a while. As soon as she arrived in Hong Kong, she immediately let her nature go! She threw away her old-fashioned makeup. She now looks like she is about 35 or 36 years old. She has an outstanding appearance and fashionable dress, which attracts the attention of passers-by on the street.

Her identity in Hong Kong is that of a lady from the Lou family. Her Hong Kong permanent ID card shows her as Lou Jingyi. Who among the locals would know that she was once the deputy mayor of the city, the sixty-year-old Xu Yueling?

Little Jingyi also has her own aura in Hong Kong. She has won numerous awards for her piano skills. After graduating from the Diocesan Girls' College in Hong Kong, she was directly admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music in the United States. This is also Xu Yueling's alma mater in her previous life!

During this period, Qin Huairu died of illness at the age of 77. Her youngest son He Xiao handled her funeral in a very grand manner. He Xiao and his wife and their children were very filial to her! The time she spent in her later years with her youngest son was the most pleasant moment of her life.

Sometimes she would suddenly think of her eldest son Banggeng. But as she got older, the image of Banggeng became more and more vague in her mind. Later on, she couldn't even remember his name!

Jingyi graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music and continued to follow in Xu Yueling's footsteps in her previous life. At the age of 26, she won the 16th Chopin International Piano Competition.

In the same year, she married Lou Qigang's grandson Lou Chenxi. The two can be said to be childhood sweethearts who know each other and love each other. Xu Yueling is still very relieved about the family tradition of the Lou family.

She gave Villa No. 12 in Repulse Bay to Xiao Jingyi as a wedding gift, and gave the remaining several million Hong Kong dollars in the warehouse of the post station to Jia Huaihua.

Now, she and Fang Lei live together in Dongdan Lou Mansion. Xu Yueling has transferred the 40% shares of Xinghai Culture Media and Dongdan Lou Mansion to Fang Lei.

As the time approached, she began to visit relatives and friends and give gifts as a token of her wish. She asked the Lou family to donate a batch of cultural relics in the warehouse of the post station to the National Museum in the name of Lou Jingyi.

After the Spring Festival of 2024, the alarm on the shopping platform sounded as expected. This once again urged her to get ready for a new journey.

"Platform customer service, please turn off the alarm! There is no need to remind me again." Xu Yueling, who is already 79 years old, calmly instructed the customer service.

"Dear user, please accumulate the points for the crossing as soon as possible within 100 days. The platform will take you on your journey again!" The platform customer service reminds its users as a routine.

"No! Let it be destroyed. All these years, I feel like I'm walking in a closed loop. When will it end?" Xu Yueling was lying on the bed. She was really tired of it.

"Dear user, you must not have such thoughts. Every journey is random, and maybe the next world will be very exciting." Seeing that she was beginning to become world-weary and a little anxious, the customer service of the platform immediately began to seduce her.

Xu Yueling ignored it, turned over and went to sleep. In the following days, she never paid attention to the countdown again, and continued to live peacefully as usual.

Days passed by without accumulating points for the shopping platform. As the countdown was about to end, the platform's customer service was completely panicked because its users were still indifferent.

"Warning, an unknown object was found in the user's post warehouse. Please check it quickly."

Xu Yueling was startled by the sudden voice of the platform customer service, and she subconsciously went to check her own station warehouse.

She expanded her consciousness but found nothing unusual. She wanted to retract her thoughts, but found that she couldn't go back! She had lost contact with her body.

"You little brat! Can't I cure you? You have to leave now!"

The platform customer service was secretly pleased! Although it would lose a lot of points if it started the journey without permission, it was better than being destroyed together with the host!

Xu Yueling knew that she had been fooled by the platform customer service. She was about to scold the platform customer service, but suddenly her consciousness lost its senses.

After an unknown amount of time, she regained consciousness and found herself lying on a bamboo bed. She struggled to get up from the bed and looked around at the unfamiliar environment. She was filled with frustration!

This was a house made of stone and wood, even more dilapidated than the courtyard house! Under the dim, flickering oil lamp, there was only a bamboo bed and a cabinet in the room. She rushed over and picked up a round mirror on the cabinet. In the mirror was the face of a strange girl with a long braid.

At this moment, a sharp pain began to appear in her head. Memories flooded into her mind. When she accepted and digested them all, she was shocked.

"What? I'm Chen Xiaozui. My brother is a lieutenant in the Sichuan Army. He placed me here and will come to pick me up after he finishes the battle."

She really wanted to cry but had no tears! This TV series was a war movie, so although she had only watched it a few times, she knew it would be extremely tragic. Human life was worthless!

This journey is even more unbearable than the Siheyuan world. At least there are laws to protect Siheyuan, but in this world, the sixteen-year-old Chen Xiaozui will choose to sell himself in order to survive.

"Platform customer service, come out quickly! Is this what you call a wonderful world? In this age where the country is being lost and people's lives are as insignificant as ants, how can a weak woman like me, who can't even tie a chicken, survive in this place?" Xu Yueling roared in her mind.

"Isn't this world exciting? At least it's much more exciting than the dull courtyard world. You are not a weak girl. You still have all the physical skills from the previous world. The inn space and the points inside are intact. This journey is a free experience given to you by the platform. What else do you want?"

"It's war time now. No matter how capable I am, I can't defeat an army, right? The shopping platform doesn't involve arms trading. Do I have to hide in the mountains to avoid the world?"

Xu Yueling was furious! She was now a lonely woman, unable to even protect herself in this war-torn world.

"The shopping platform can open up the arms category for you. In this period of foreign invasion, don't users want to do something for the country? Leave a strong mark in the modern history of this world?" The platform customer service began to tempt her again.

Xu Yueling quickly opened the interface of the shopping platform. As expected, the interface had changed. The shopping mall was divided into two categories: military and civilian. She directly clicked on the military category, and the products on it were dazzling. Everything you need!

The more she read, the brighter her eyes became. With these, she could recruit those defeated soldiers and do her part for the suffering countries in this world.

She couldn't wait to push the door open, walked out, crossed the courtyard and opened the gate.

Now it was already light outside, and the whole of Zenda was wrapped in a layer of mist. As the red sun rose in the east, the veil gradually faded away, revealing the outline of the town.

I have come to this world! In this dark age that I cannot bear to look back on, I will start a legendary life.
