I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

"The Jia family has become rich!" all the neighbors in the courtyard said so.

Now Banggeng drives a Yangcheng Honda motorcycle and wears a well-tailored suit. Even Qin Huairu has changed her previous gloomy face and dressed up in fancy clothes.

The family bought many new household appliances, and Tang Yanling, who was pregnant, was wearing gold and silver. Even Jia Zhang looked at people with two nostrils now!

Some of the neighbors in the courtyard saw that the Jia family's money was so easy to make, and wanted to do business with the Jia family. But they were scolded back by Jia Zhang! It's not easy to take advantage of the Jia family.

The three-month internship period in Hong Kong has come to an end. The first batch of interns from the old city has already left, and only Xiaodang stayed.

Shangri-La Hotel has signed an employment contract with Xiaodang. Jingyi took Xiaodang to the Exit-Entry Administration with this and extended his work visa.

Xiaodang had moved from the dormitory to the Repulse Bay Villa. Jingyi originally wanted her to follow her, but Xiaodang liked the hotel job very much and still took the bus to work at the hotel every day.

Xiao Dang was still soft-hearted, and felt that she would be sorry for her mother Qin Huairu if she just left. When her colleagues set off to return to Beijing, she asked a close colleague to take a letter home for her. She had to hand it to her mother personally!

In addition to the letter and a few photos of her and Jingyi, she also stuffed a thousand Hong Kong dollars in it. This was her salary for three months of internship at the hotel!

Jingyi received an invitation to TVB's anniversary party in early October. Lijun also received one, and they were both invited to perform on stage.

"Sister, what are you going to sing?" Jingyi asked her.

"Lend me the Chinese version of 'Future' so I can sing it." Sister Lijun joked with her again.

"Is it okay that the copyright of all the songs I have released is open to you? You can sing any song you want." Jingyi said nonchalantly.

"Then what are you going to sing?" Lijun asked her curiously.

"Me? Of course I'll come up with a new song. Never mind! I'll pick one for you too."

Jingyi ran to the study room on the second floor. She had already prepared new songs for the two of them. For herself, it was a Cantonese song "Burning Love", and for Sister Lijun, it was also a Chinese and Japanese version of the song "Premonition of Parting".

This song was written by a famous composer of Xiao Ri Zi when Deng Lijun returned to the Xiao Ri Zi music scene after she was released from the ban in 1987. This song is the best-performing of all her Japanese songs and has been on the Xiao Ri Zi domestic chart for two years.

Sister Lijun is indeed a connoisseur! She hummed along with the music score, and the more she hummed, the brighter her eyes became.

"If this song is released in Japan, it will be another double gold award-winning song. Unfortunately, you have given me so many Japanese songs, but I can't release them." Sister Lijun's eyes dimmed.

When her Xiao Ri Zi music scene was at its peak, she was banned from entering the country for five years. Her contract with Xiao Ri Zi Polydor was also transferred to Hong Kong PolyGram.

"Why are you saying these unpleasant things? Anyway, the ban will be lifted in three years, so it won't be too late to release it then. Come on, let's go practice the new song." Jingyi pulled him and left.

The two went to the music room and practiced for two hours, then sat at the bar in the music room and chatted.

"Sister, I heard that you almost became the daughter-in-law of the Guo family?"

When they were together, Sister Lijun never talked about her personal relationship problems. Today, Jingyi didn't hold back and asked her.

Sister Lijun sighed and said leisurely, "The eldest son of the Guo family and I met through a friend in 1977 or 1988. In 1981, we met our parents and got engaged. But his parents put forward three conditions: one is to quit the music industry, two is to sever ties with the entertainment industry, and three is to sever all contact with the opposite sex. I can agree to other conditions, but I can't quit the music industry."

Jingyi was speechless! The conditions of the richest man in Malaysia were so harsh. She saw that Boss Guo was not a rigid person!

Sister Lijun's love history is hard to describe! Her first love died in a plane crash, her second boyfriend, also a Malaysian tycoon, the Lin family's son, died of a heart attack. The third one also ended in failure. No wonder she never talks about her love life.

There was still a month before the TVB gala, so the two of them went to TVB to submit their music scores and practiced with the band for a few days. During this time, she met Anita Mui, Danny Chan, Leslie Cheung and others.

Jingyi went up and gave Anita Mui a big hug, and her cheeks immediately turned red!

"Why don't you recognize me, Yanfang?" Jingyi teased her.

"Hello Sister Jingyi! I didn't expect you still remember me." The young Anita Mui had just come to prominence, and now she lacked a sense of dominance.

"The album you released this year is very good. It's almost five platinum now, right?" Jingyi asked, patting her shoulder.

"Hey! This can't be compared to Sister Jingyi's album."

As they were talking, Danny Chen came backstage from outside. When he saw Lou Jingyi, he immediately went up to greet her.

"Hi! Lou Jingyi, long time no see. You are my idol now."

"Are you back from the United States?" Jingyi asked.

"You've been back for a long time! Are you planning to perform on stage this year as well?"

"Well! I had to come because I was invited." Jingyi spread her hands and answered him with a shrug.

"Do you still remember the suggestion you gave me that year? You were right! Our Hong Kong music scene has finally found its own path. I really want to thank you for being my guide!" Danny Chen said a little excitedly.

"Don't say that. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Keep working hard!" Jingyi encouraged.

Unfortunately, Cantonese is a minority! In the 1990s, Mandarin songs became the main force in the Chinese music scene. Just like the Minnan songs in the 1960s and 1970s, they will gradually decline.

The three of them stood and chatted. Danny Chen was now signed to Warner Records, and Anita Mui's contract with Huaxing Records had not yet expired for a year, but the company had already recorded two albums for her.

At this time, a wireless staff came to call her. Jingyi left her phone number and pager number, and they both left their contact information. Then Jingyi followed the staff member to the office building in a hurry.

She went to the general manager's office of the wireless station. Unexpectedly, she ran into an acquaintance, Huang, the general director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

"Hey! Director Huang, why are you here?" Jingyi asked in surprise.

"The Spring Festival Gala is rehearsing again! I'm still short of performers from Hong Kong, so I came here on a business trip to take a look. I heard that you were preparing for the anniversary celebration here, so I asked you to come and meet me." Director Huang explained.

"Who do you plan to invite to perform? Most of the famous singers in Hong Kong are here for the TVB anniversary celebration." Jingyi deliberately asked him.

"On my way here, I listened to a tape from Hong Kong in a taxi in Pengcheng. The singer on the tape was called Zhang Mingmin. But General Manager Mo didn't know this singer. He was asking someone to help me look for her," Director Huang explained casually.

Zhang Mingmin is just an amateur singer. The general manager of TVB will definitely not know this little person. Jingyi secretly complained in her heart!

Zhang Mingmin is a worker in an electronic watch factory in Hong Kong. His biggest hobby is singing. He once won the championship of the Workers' Amateur Singing Competition held by the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions.

It just so happened that the Hong Kong Youth Federation was going to record an album. They approached numerous well-known singers, but they only sang Mandarin and patriotic songs, and no one was willing to take over the recording. With nowhere else to go, they found this amateur singer to record. Now, Zhang Mingmin is still working in an electronic watch factory.

"I know this person! Is the song you heard called "My Chinese Heart"? " Jingyi asked. She decided to help Director Huang, because he would find this person eventually.

"Yes! Yes! That's the song. Do you know where he is?" Director Huang slapped his thigh and almost jumped up in excitement. He didn't expect it would be so difficult to find a singer!

"He works in a factory! You can call the Youth Federation and ask which electronics factory he works in." Jingyi gave him an idea.

Since I've helped so much, I should have a part in the Spring Festival Gala, right?

"Working in a factory? Isn't he a singer?" Director Huang was almost confused!

"The singer is a singer, but an amateur singer. However, he sings very well. Do you still need a female singer?" Seeing that he never mentioned herself, Jingyi decided to take the initiative to ask him.

"I picked out some albums here to listen to, including your Jingyi's album. They sound good, but the themes are not suitable for singing on the Spring Festival Gala." Director Huang found an excuse to put her off.

It just doesn't meet the political requirements! What excuses are there?

Suddenly, Jingyi thought of a song. This song must comply with all the rules and regulations of the Spring Festival Gala.

She took out a pen and paper from her bag and composed a song on the spot in less than ten minutes in front of Director Huang.

Director Huang took it and looked at it. He saw the title of the song written in four words above the musical score: "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau"!
