Chapter 934: I'm a setter
Li Xiaoru didn't care about other people's eyes, she was about to cry with excitement, she finally understood why the ancients regarded "meeting old acquaintances in other places" as one of the four happy events in life. The moment she saw Liu Yan, she actually felt like a dream.
She didn't say anything, she hugged Liu Yan for a while, she had to rely on the warm fragrant nephrite to suppress the shock.
Liu Yan let her hold herself, she didn't know what happened to Li Xiaoru in the United States, but she could clearly feel that Li Xiaoru had lost weight, Li Xiaoru was not fat in the first place, she was tall and slender, and now her hip bones bulged out, and Liu Yan could touch it when she raised her hand.
The two separated and looked at each other's faces, Liu Yan found that Li Xiaoru's cheeks were sunken, the person was dark, black and thin, her original waist-length long hair only reached the shoulders, the hair was thin, the dark circles were very heavy, and there were a few acne on her face, and the whole person felt very haggard.
Seeing that Liu Yan was very distressed, it was obvious that Li Xiaoru's study and life in the United States were not smooth. But she reported good news to their group of friends, including her boyfriend. However, her grinning smile was still the same as before, full of vitality and vividness, "Why did you come to the United States suddenly? ”
"That's what I want," Liu Yan said with a smile, "I want to surprise you." ”
Li Xiaoru was indeed pleasantly surprised, her eyes were so smiling that she couldn't see, "What did you get to, where do you live, what are you doing here?......" She asked Liu Yan several questions in a row.
"We're talking as we go, I'm here to treat you to lunch!"
It was also a treat, but Li Xiaoru was not polite to Liu Yan, and the two walked outside side by side.
The eyes of the surrounding students have been on the two of them, to be precise, looking at Liu Yan. Thanks to the blessing of YouTube videos, Li Xiaoru has become half of the campus celebrity, no matter which grade, which major, which race of students more or less know her or have seen the video, even if she has not spoken to her in reality, but they all know her face, and have heard that she studies very hard, is relatively low-key and introverted, is not good at socializing, spends most of her time in the piano room, not to mention the weekend piano practice, some classmates saw her practicing in the piano room at three o'clock in the morning on weekdays, which was extremely scary.
Therefore, everyone was so surprised to see Li Xiaoru showing her emotions so exaggeratedly, and even more surprised that they seemed to see the "princess of the Han Dynasty"!
"That girl is a princess of the Han Dynasty, right?" asked a student uncertainly.
"Be confident, remove the 'bar', she is the princess of the Han Dynasty! I just went to the cinema yesterday to watch "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace". ”
"Yes, I remember her face, although I am a little face blind to Asians, she really impressed me, her temperament is so special. ”
"Oh my God, she's coming to the U.S. without saying a word, and her YouTube hasn't been updated in a long time. ”
......
The students talked a lot, and soon the news of the Han Dynasty princess appearing at the Juilliard School spread throughout the school at the speed of light.
Before Liu Yan came, she searched for what delicious restaurants were nearby, and Yu Zhan, who was not at ease, had downloaded the more commonly used foreign apps on her mobile phone in advance, most of these APPs have Chinese or Chinese traditional versions, such as finding restaurants, as convenient as Dianping, Liu Yan chose a few with a better reputation, and asked Li Xiaoru which one to go to.
"Whoever treats you decides," Li Xiaoru said with a grin, "I haven't eaten it anyway." ”
"No, these restaurants are nearby," Considering that Li Xiaoru may have classes in the afternoon, it is difficult to go too far, Liu Yan chose the closest restaurant to the school.
"The price of goods in the center of Manhattan is too high, I can't hold it, I have to eat a meal, I will have a long pain in my flesh, and I have to save money to pay off your debts," Jiang Chengfeng originally lent Li Xiaoru 400,000 yuan in the name of Liu Yan for studying abroad, Li Xiaoru did not spend it all, and there was still 100,000 yuan left.
Since March, Ms. Sun has adjusted the dividends of the "Little Ladies" from 3,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan per month, almost $1,000, enough for Ms. Li to pay her rent — the house she rents is not in Manhattan, but about 15 kilometers from the school, and she still shares the living room and bathroom with others. Her roommates are Chinese students she found online, a couple, Li Xiaoru goes out early and returns late, sometimes even sleeping on her stomach in the piano room or the library, and will spend the night almost without seeing them.
Li Xiaoru didn't uninstall Weibo after re-downloading it last time, and so did YouTube, in case Liu Yan did something big again, she didn't want to be the last person to know. Before going abroad, her Weibo fans were about 40w+, and it rose to 100w+ in a blink of an eye, which was still when she didn't update a Weibo for half a year. It can be seen from this that Liu Yan and Jason's scandal influence is terrifying, as long as they are close to them, they can benefit.
It was at this time that a company sent a private message to Li Xiaoru on Weibo, asking her if she could help them promote their products. Li Xiaoru was originally reluctant to do it, and the principle of "young ladies" has always been not to accept or receive less advertisements, especially products that do not know where to come. But she is now in debt, and under all kinds of pressure, she can't pretend to be high, but the bottom line still has to be there, Li Xiaoru carefully screened out two companies and sold them music peripheral goods such as piano fabrics, piano covers, and metronomes.
Through Li Xiaoru, she can get 8% of the commission for every product sold. She doesn't need to open a live broadcast to show anything, she just needs to post a few product promotion Weibo every day, the Weibo is written by the merchant, she just copy and paste, and don't delay her time. Unexpectedly, the effect was not bad, and she earned 10,000 yuan in a week.
Julia's classmates don't look down on Li Xiaoru's experience, but domestic netizens, such as some middle school students who have children at home learning piano and are preparing for art exams, still buy Li Xiaoru, and some even regard her as an idol. So many people learn piano, and how many of them really become famous? Most of them have hit the streets, and achievements like Li Xiaoru's current are already the dreams of many people. These fans who support her are also another spiritual pillar for Li Xiaoru to move forward firmly
Including the remaining 100,000, Li Xiaoru now has 120,000, and it just so happened that Liu Yan came, and she wanted to return the money to her first.
Liu Yan couldn't cry or laugh, "Why did you mention this matter as soon as we met, it made me seem like I was here to collect debts." ”
"It's not that you don't know that I don't like to owe favors, and I feel very uncomfortable in debt. ”
Li Xiaoru opened the online banking and really wanted to transfer money to her, Liu Yan hurriedly stopped her, "You don't owe me money, 400,000 yuan was lent to you by Chengfeng, I'm just a setter, if you want to pay it back, pay him back directly." ”
