Liu Lan felt that there was no need to hide it from Li Xiaoru anymore, so she told Li Xiaoru about how Jiang Chengfeng was paying 400,000 yuan from her, which was equivalent to signing a contract to sell her body, working for her, and establishing "learning literature and painting ink" together.

Only then did Li Xiaoru know how much Jiang Chengfeng paid for her. Her eyes immediately turned red. No wonder she took the initiative to reduce the number of times she chatted with Jiang Chengfeng. He had no objection, saying that she would not have videos, so she would not have sex. After the contact decreased, the relationship between the two parties became a little cold. Li Xiaoru had thought about whether the other party had changed his heart? Even if she changed her heart, she had no choice. She didn't even have time to complain.

It turned out that Jiang Chengfeng was as busy as she was so dark that they were upside down day and night that they had no time to fall in love!

Liu Lan just wanted to explain the matter clearly, but she didn't want to make Li Xiaoru cry. Seeing that her tears were about to fall, on the streets where people were coming and going, Liu Lan quickly wiped her tears with her hands, "I am a woman, it's useless for you to carry tears with your pear blossoms. You have to cry in front of the wind, so that tears can be valuable."

Li Xiaoru burst into laughter and said with a smile in tears, "You can't be a bad boss, exploit and ride the wind."

"Am I that kind of person? Don't slander me," Liu Lan said with a smile pretending to be angry, "Chengfeng is also the company's major shareholder. Xuewen Tumo has received rave reviews and users are increasing day by day. According to this momentum, if it goes public in a few years, Chengfeng may be worth over 100 million yuan." Listing is something that Liu Lan said casually. Xuewen Tumo has just been online and has not made any profits. It is 100,000 miles away from listing. It is their top priority to attract other investors to refinance and expand their scale.

Liu Lan said this just to make Li Xiaoru feel at ease, "Chengfeng's income is very high now, and it's not too small for the 400,000 yuan. Don't worry about not paying back the money. Study hard. Money is a trivial matter, and study is the most important thing."

When Li Xiaoru heard this, she felt a sense of panic like falling behind. She had only been away for half a year, and her friends were making rapid progress in their respective fields. Sun Weiwei managed the "Ladies" studio in full swing. It can be seen from the double dividends that "Ladies" must have made more money;

As the vice president of Xinghe Film and Television, Tao Zhiyao has been inexperienced in his business at the beginning to be responsible for the operation and promotion of film and television dramas alone, and has successfully sold the Youth Plan to the National Channel;

Miao Xiaomei is becoming more and more famous in the industry. Even some first-line celebrities ask her to put on makeup. She is too busy and plans to start a studio in the second half of the year and recruit apprentices;

Li Xiaoru also watched the Chinese-Western-style cooperation video of Shen Mozhen and Lina on Weibo. Shen Mozhen’s Weibo fans have exceeded 400,000. When she was Tangtu’s girlfriend, she only had 50,000 fans;

Yang Huayue’s female gangster role in "Youth Plan" is more likable than the heroine. So far, the TV series has aired four episodes, with ratings higher than the other;

After Chu Yu's comeback, her popularity has never been low due to various scandals. "Little Walnut" was completed in June and "Fighting the North Wind" was released in June. It can be expected that she, who is the heroine, will attract more attention.

She studied in Julia without knowing it, and seemed very glorious, but in fact she was standing still and accomplished nothing. She was likely to not be able to study for a master's degree. Her future was at a loss. There were too many strong people here, with innate advantages and acquired cultivation, strong people are always strong, and competition was cruel. How could she surpass everyone and fight for a bloody path?

If Jiang Chengfeng is really as Liu Lan said in the future, becoming a company partner with a net worth of over 100 million yuan, is she worthy of it?

Li Xiaoru was in a low mood and went into the restaurant with Liu Lan with a lot of worries. She was perfunctory when ordering dishes. Liu Lan was really worried and asked her directly, "Why are you not happy? Is it too much pressure to study? I see that you have a bad face and have lost a lot of weight."

Li Xiaoru has been suppressing for so long and really needs a confession. Liu Lan is her best friend. If she doesn’t tell her, who else can she talk to? Li Xiaoru did not hide it and told Liu Lan about her worries and difficulties, including her registration for the piano competition.

Liu Lan listened to her story with a serious expression, but did not interrupt.

"The Chinese classmates here always remind me of Zhu Xiyang. Of course, it's not that they suck or are bad people, but the feeling that they can't speak is very similar. I can't get along with them."

"If you can't get along, you won't get along, and there's no need to force it," said Liu Lan, "Being friends also depends on fate."

"But they are much better than Zhu Xiyang. They are not embroidered pillows. They are really talented in music, classical instruments, compositions, and vocal music... They met very early. They are in a circle, with their own small groups, and they share first-hand music news with each other. If they don't go with them, they will not know, such as the previous schedule and details of the Bussoni competition in the US competition area. Just like before our final exam, we found the test papers in previous years. I have never participated in such a big competition. I want to know how the people in front passed, what are the precautions, and what the mainstream aesthetics of the judges are like. In this way, I can practice the piano in a targeted manner. Otherwise, I worked hard and the direction was wrong. Wouldn't I do useless work?" After Li Xiaoru said that, she drank the cold water in the water cup in one sip. She was really anxious.

The former master Liu Lan also had the concept of the Bussoni Piano Competition in her memory, which was just a concept. The former master never thought of participating in such a high-level competition. She didn't have to try to register at all. She was completely passed during the screening stage, and she didn't even have the chance to go on stage.

Liu Lan asked Li Xiaoru, "Can't you find the relevant information online?"

Li Xiaoru shook her head, "There are so few. Most of the people who study music are arrogant. How could she be willing to share her valuable experiences publicly?"

After listening to her statement, Liu Lan probably understood that Li Xiaoru's most urgent task is to pass the competition screening at the end of May. Regardless of the preliminary and finals, the problem is that the Busony organizing committee has a fixed quota for each competition area. It will not be given more quota just because the applicants in this country/region have high piano standards.

In previous years, there were only 20 places in the North American competition area. Note that it was the "North American competition area", including Canada and other famous music institutions in the United States. Almost all undergraduate and master students in the fourth grade of the Juilliard School piano department signed up for this competition. They must register every competition. For them, this is just a practice.

It would be strange if Li Xiaoru is under a lot of pressure!

Liu Lan also felt that the possibility of Li Xiaoru passing the screening was very small. It was not that Li Xiaoru was too bad, but that her opponents were all too strong!

But she thought again, "Didn't you say that there are still some players who can be shortlisted for the preliminary round without participating in the screening competition?"
Chapter completed!
