I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard
Chapter 89 Meeting Xiao Dang
The Gemini concert was in full swing at the Hong Kong Coliseum. After only two or three shows, the coordination between the two, and between the dancers and the band, had been polished to perfection.
The attendance rate of the Hong Kong Coliseum was also very stable. After being open for about 15 consecutive days, there were two shows where the attendance rate dropped. But it was soon filled up by a large number of fans from other places. Until the end of the Gemini concert, there were no empty seats.
Especially the large number of Lijun fans who came from Xiaorizi. Although she was restricted from entering the country by the Xiaorizi authorities, her position as the top singer in the Xiaorizi music scene is unshakable.
To this end, in order to thank the fans who came from afar, Sister Lijun changed the two Chinese and Japanese versions of the new songs to be sung in Japanese in the next dozen or so concerts.
These fans from all over the world continue to come to Hong Kong, bringing a lot of profits to the local tourism, hotel and retail industries, and directly boosting Hong Kong's economy. This phenomenon is also called the "twin star phenomenon" by economists.
After the 30th Hong Kong Coliseum concert, PolyGram held a celebration banquet for them. The company staff who assisted them all looked exhausted.
Even Sister Lijun felt like she couldn't hold on in the last few games, so most of the playing time was given to Jingyi. But every time Jingyi got through the night, she would wake up in high spirits the next morning.
Sister Lijun could only sigh that she was young and in great physical condition, and could recover in one night. Who would have known that she was carrying a cheating device?
Every night after the concert, when she returned to her bedroom, she would adjust the time of the small western-style building to ten to one. How could she feel tired after resting and adjusting for dozens of hours in it?
Both of them released a lot of new songs at the concert. PolyGram recorded a new album for Lijun, and Jingyi also went to Warner Records to find the company's new director to discuss the release of the new album.
The new director of Warner Records is Ms. Wu Zhenyuan, whose husband is Lin Zhixiang, the current head of Warner Records. She must consider the artists of the company and will not tilt the company's resources to people who have nothing to do with the company.
Jingyi went back to PolyGram Records to ask for cooperation in releasing a new album. The company considered that releasing both albums at the same time would save a lot of publicity costs, so they signed the cooperation agreement smoothly.
PolyGram Records also deposited the concert's proceeds into her account. When the two wanted to pay Cameron, who was the MC of the concert, he waved his hand and refused.
Tan Yonglin joked: "No need to pay! If you feel embarrassed, Jingyi can just write a song for me."
"It's just one song! I'll give you two. Come and get them in three days." Jingyi agreed to him immediately.
Don’t have too many songs suitable for male singers here, otherwise they will expire in vain if you are not suitable to sing them.
"No rush! Next, Lijun and I are going to shoot the MTV for "Goddess of Love". Just take your time writing it!"
Right now, half of his career focus is on making movies, and not many songs have been released during this period.
Jingyi found two songs for him after she returned. One was "Eternal Glory", which was released by Xiao Ri Zi in 1988 and covered by Cameron in 2004. The other was "Wine-Red Heart", which was released by Xiao Ri Zi in 1984 and covered in Cantonese in 1987.
Thirty consecutive concerts drained the enthusiasm and wallets of the fans. The tickets for Kangyin Chengyi Company's next concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum were not selling well.
They had no choice but to give up the Hong Kong Coliseum and move the concert to the Cultural Center auditorium across the street. Under this circumstance, those singers who were eager to hold concerts in the Hong Kong Coliseum began to back out.
After Jingyi finished recording her new album, she had free time again. Except for being invited to be a judge in a piano competition, she could only stay at home the rest of the time.
Not having a company has its advantages. She doesn't need to go out for a lot of commercial performances and social events. Her time is her own. But she can't go out shopping. No matter how well she dresses, she will be recognized.
She took her assistant and flew back to the old city to reunite with her family. There, at least she could go out without worrying about being watched.
In her bedroom on the third floor of Lou Mansion in Dongdan, the set of Huanghuali furniture of Ming and Qing styles has been completed. Looking at these exquisitely crafted furniture, they are all worth collecting and passing down from generation to generation.
The main building of the 18-story Kyoto International Hotel located on Chaoyang Nei Street has been completed, and the interior decoration is now in full swing. It is estimated that the hotel will be able to start trial operation at the end of this year.
The first five-star hotel in this city has already started recruiting service personnel and needs to provide them with training in advance.
This reminded her of her elder sister Xiaodang. She wondered how her job was going now? If she was not satisfied with her job, she could get her into a big hotel.
Jingyi couldn't show up herself, so she could only ask Aunt Wang, the maid at Lou Mansion, to go to the Siheyuan area to inquire about the situation of Jia's Xiaodang, where she currently worked.
When Jingyi learned that she was now working at a company called Torch Garment Factory, she took advantage of Liu Quan's free time and took his car to the garment factory.
Xiaodang was called out of the sewing workshop. She came to the factory gate and looked around. She saw a car parked opposite the factory gate. A beautiful girl got out of the car and waved at her.
She immediately recognized the girl, it was her sister Huaihua. Her eyes were suddenly blurred with tears, she rushed over quickly, hugged her sister and cried with joy.
Jingyi let her vent her emotions, then pulled her into the car and told Liu Quan to take them back to Lou Mansion.
Xiao Dang is 25 years old this year. She looks mostly like her mother Qin Huairu, but she is a little thin. When the two sisters met, they chattered non-stop along the way.
When the two entered Lou Mansion, Jingyi already knew about Xiaodang's current life. Since she ran away, Xiaodang has lived in the east ear room for more than ten years. According to the Jia family's consistent practice of favoring boys over girls, her quality of life would not be much better.
"The first thing you have to do is leave that family! Otherwise, everything will be in vain. They will squeeze you dry. You have lived in that family for 25 years. Haven't you seen clearly what they have done? I didn't have any hope for that family when I was five years old."
Jingyi felt a bit disappointed with her! You are already 25 years old, and you are still being controlled by them? Can't you find a place to move out?
"I applied to live in a dormitory before, but later my grandma came to the factory to make a fuss about me, so I had to move back." Xiaodang lowered his head, feeling a little depressed.
She had wanted to resist before, but she could never get ahead of Jia Zhang. Her mother Qin Huairu would also come to persuade her softly, but the two of them, one with a black face and the other with a red face, would kill her thoughts in the bud.
"I want you to change your job first! My adoptive mother and her family have opened a big hotel on Chaoyang Nei Street and are recruiting service staff for training. During the training period, they will go to hotels in Hong Kong in batches to study. Your garment factory has no future. Just listen to me and quit your job tomorrow."
Jingyi told her about her plan. As long as she went to Hong Kong, she would find a way to keep her there. It was easy to get a work visa!
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiao Dang agreed without thinking! She was alone before, and no one could help her. Now her sister came to her on her own initiative, so of course she would listen to her sister.
Jingyi looked at her clothes that were almost white from washing and her cloth shoes with frayed edges, and took her to the nearby Wangfujing Street.
First, he changed her clothes from head to toe, and then he bought her a 26-inch women's bicycle at Wangfujing Department Store for her to get around.
"I don't dare to buy more for you now, for fear that you won't be able to keep the things after you go back, and they will be sold to others for nothing. When you become independent in the future, I will take you to Hong Kong for a big shopping trip."
She also has the coins here! Thinking back to when she was watching a movie at the steel mill, she fished out a large wooden box from Li Huaide's office. There were five or six thousand in the Great Unity.
After the two sisters reached an agreement, Jingyi sent her to the entrance of the garment factory. Before they parted, Jingyi stuffed another 100 yuan into her pocket, telling her to spend it first and then go to Lou Mansion to find her after she had completed the resignation procedures.
That afternoon, when Xiaodang appeared in front of everyone in the courtyard pushing a brand new bicycle, the faces of Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu immediately turned ugly.
They both agreed that Xiaodang had found a girlfriend without telling his family! This women's bicycle must have been bought by his girlfriend.
"Is she so anxious to find a man? I asked her to wait for two more years, but she ignored my words?" Jia Zhang was immediately furious! If Xiao Dang found a partner and got married, how could she control her?
"I'll ask her over! If the partner has a good family background, it's not impossible."
Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that there was no sign of this before, so it was obvious that they had just started dating. If he bought a bicycle for the girl right after they met, his family must be well-off.
It seems that Xiaodang can't stay for a few more years. If my family finds a rich son-in-law now, will he not take care of his mother-in-law's family in the future? At least, the betrothal gift must be very generous.
