"Comrade Wang Lin," Shen Xue said, sitting next to him, "I should pay you back the two hundred yuan and the book money."

"Don't be so anxious! It seems like I came to your house to ask for money! I'm not Yang Bailao!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "If you talk to me about money again, I'll leave."

Shen Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and said generously: "I would like to pay it back, but I am short of money now and have no money to pay it back. As you know, prices have risen horribly recently, and I spent some money on medical treatment. After the medical reform in 1985,

Our unit only reimburses 70% of the medical expenses."

In October 1984, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China passed the "Decision on the Reform of the Economic System", marking the shift of the focus of reform from rural areas to cities, and the reform of the urban economic system was fully launched.

Against this backdrop, 1985 became the first year of my country’s medical reform.

The basic idea of ​​medical reform during this period was to imitate the reform of state-owned enterprises, so its core content was of course nothing more than "delegating powers and benefits, expanding hospital autonomy, liberalizing activities, and improving hospital efficiency and effectiveness." The basic approach of the reform was

It is "only giving policies but not money".

The most direct impact of the medical reform on employees is that they need to pay part of their own money for medical treatment!

Wang Lin was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice shouting from downstairs: "Shen Xue? Shen Xue? Does Comrade Shen Xue live in this house?"

Shen Xue heard the shouting and whispered: "It's Cai Jinling, deputy leader of our regiment. Why is she here? She has never been to my house."

She got up and walked to the stairs, shouting down: "Captain Cai! I'm here."

"Oh, Shen Xue, I found you." Cai Jinling giggled and walked upstairs, making the wooden stairs creak.

After a while, the fragrance blew, and Wang Lin saw a fat middle-aged woman appear in the room.

Cai Jinling is in her thirties, wearing a short skirt and stockings, and spraying strong perfume.

Influenced by foreign movies and TV dramas, especially Japanese dramas, women in big cities in the 1980s liked to wear miniskirts and stockings and spray strong perfume, thinking it was fashionable.

Especially women who travel abroad like to dress up like this.

What they don't know is that this kind of perfume is mixed with certain raw materials that stimulate the opposite sex. In foreign countries, only women standing on the street wear it.

In the eyes of foreigners, such a dress looks like a chicken being sold.

On international flights, some women traveling abroad have made a lot of jokes about this!

When Wang Lin saw Cai Jinling's vulgar outfit, he couldn't help but secretly laugh. He thought they were both dancers, so why were Cai Jinling and Shen Xue so different?

"Hey, who is this?" Cai Jinling looked at Wang Lin and asked Shen Xue with a smile.

Shen Xuandao: "His name is Wang Lin and he is my friend. Captain Cai, what do you want from me?"

Cai Jinling smiled before saying anything, clapped her hands and said, "Shen Xue, you are in luck!"

Shen Xue smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Cai, please stop joking. My foot was injured, and the heroine of the new show in the group has also been changed to Fu Meifang. How can I be so lucky?"

Cai Jinling chuckled and said, "You still remember Mr. Geng Yanhua and Geng I introduced to you last time, right?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"As I told you, he is the director of Shanghai Film Studio. He has taken a fancy to you and said that there is a new movie with a role that is suitable for you to play."

Shen Xue was not very interested: "I am an actor in a song and dance troupe, what kind of movie should I act in? I am not professionally qualified. He should go to Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theater to find actors."

Cai Jinling said: "Shen Xue, this is a good opportunity for you. What is professional or not? Director Geng said you can do it, then you can do it. Director Geng said that at six o'clock tonight, he will be in the Peacock Hall of the International Hotel

Waiting for you, if you figure it out, go find him."

Shen Xue pondered slightly but did not agree.

Cai Jinling said: "Shen Xue, don't be stupid! Such a good opportunity does not come often. There are many young actors in our troupe with better conditions than you. It was me who recommended you to Mr. Geng Yanhua.

He just chose you! You also know that those who work in our singing and dancing industry are all dependent on their youth, and there are many who have been relegated to the second line at the age of thirty! Entering the entertainment industry is a great opportunity for you to become famous. Don’t let it go.

Know good from evil!"

Shen Xuexiu frowned slightly and said softly: "Captain Cai, I still like to dance."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Cai Jinling said with a look of hatred on her face, "How many years can you dance? As soon as your foot is injured, the heroine will be replaced immediately! Don't you understand? This group

There is no shortage of people like you here! Let me tell you, if you miss this village, there won’t be this shop! I brought the words for you, it’s up to you whether you want to go or not. I’m leaving!”

Shen Xue thanked her and sent her to the door.

Cai Jinling said: "You have an injury on your foot, so you don't need to send me away. You can think about it yourself! If you don't go, there are some girls who are willing to go!"

She stomped downstairs.

Shen Xue turned around and sat down, looking a little confused.

Wang Lin was shocked!

It turns out that the change in Shen Xue's fate started today!

If there are no accidents, if the trajectory of time has not changed, then Shen Xue attended the banquet tonight!

Because she did appear on the big screen later, became famous, and had a moment of glory!

It's just that her highlight moment was too short, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, like a flash in the pan!

If Wang Lin hadn't been particularly obsessed with old movies from the 80s and 90s for a period of time, and accidentally discovered and enjoyed several old movies starring Shen Xue, it would be impossible for him to know that she was a character!

Wang Lin later checked her information on the Internet and found out that she was a tragic figure.

Almost overnight, she disappeared from the public eye like a star and a moon. Later, I heard that because she did not accept the unspoken rules of the industry, she offended a well-known director, was banned from the industry, and was relegated to the cold palace. She ran away from the United States and went into hiding.

The success was unsatisfactory, and later she suffered from severe depression, committed suicide, and remained unmarried for the rest of her life.

After constant questioning, Shen Xue proved her innocence throughout her life by committing suicide.

Wang Lin looked at the picturesque Shen Xue in front of him and felt pity.

"Shen Xue," Wang Lin automatically omitted the word "comrade", "do you believe in horoscopes?"

"Bazi? Fate?"

"right."

"How do you say that?"

"There are three fires in Geng Yanhua's name, and there are both water and snow in your name."

"You mean, he and I are incompatible with each other? But, doesn't water extinguish fire?"

"It's a pity that you are snow. Once the fire burns, the snow will melt and you will no longer be you. Unless you are willing to go with the flow."

Shen Xue couldn't help but feel stunned.

Wang Lindao: "What you like is the art of dance, and you are also qualified for this field. Why not delve into this field? Who said that dance is a patent for young people? As long as you are willing, you can dance for a lifetime. You can do it too.

Be beautiful on stage for a lifetime!"

Shen Xuedao: "You don't understand. There is a lot of competition in our group. Every time the group arranges a new show, there are several people competing for a heroine. The new one, Fu Meifang, graduated from the music and dance department of a prestigious university.

She is also the niece of our deputy team leader, and her resources are much better than mine!"

"Who said you have to stay in the group to dance? The stage outside is so vast!"

"You mean, go into the sea?"

"In fact, many teachers from provincial and municipal song and dance troupes have already begun to make money through tricks. You can still be successful if you are your own boss. However, I do not recommend that you do this."

"Huh? You proposed going to the sea to perform acupuncture, and now you deny it?"

"Although acupuncture is profitable, it requires traveling around the country, which is very tiring, and you also have to please others. In many cases, you even need escort services. These are things you don't want, but you can't refuse."

Shen Xue bit her lip gently, obviously struggling internally.

The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny!

With the skyrocketing prices, coupled with a foot injury, and her salary being cut in half, Shen Xue's life has indeed been somewhat stretched lately.

As for an excellent dancer, she needs to buy more cosmetics and clothes. In addition, she has a petty bourgeois sentiment and needs to buy flowers and books to read, so she has a lot of expenses.

The economic base determines the emergence, nature and transformation of the superstructure!

All good things require a lot of money to support and support them!

Wang Lindao: "I know that you need more than just money, but also a job that can realize your ideals and realize the value of life. I suggest you set up your own dance studio."

"Dance studio?" Shen Xue was unfamiliar with this word.

In the era of planned economy, singers and dancers all aimed to join large art troupes and song and dance troupes, and few went into business.

Wang Lindao: "You can set up your own team to teach people how to dance, or you can arrange singing and dancing programs and take on commercial performances to make money. In this team, you are the boss and you have the final say!"

Shen Xue was a little moved, but still couldn't make up her mind.

In this era, everyone is sharpening their heads and working in state-owned units, and few people dare to resign and go to work.

Wang Lin just wanted her to understand that there are various ways out in life, and it doesn't necessarily have to be hanging from a tree.
