Liu Yan felt that there was no need to hide it from Li Xiaoru anymore, so she told Li Xiaoru how Jiang Chengfeng advanced 400,000 yuan from her, which was equivalent to signing a deed of sale, working for her, and co-founding "Xuewen Tu Mo".

Li Xiaoru only knew at this moment how much Jiang Chengfeng had paid for her. Her eyes immediately turned red, no wonder after she took the initiative to reduce the number of video chats with Jiang Chengfeng, he had no objection, saying that she didn't want to video, so she wouldn't video, after the contact was reduced, the relationship between the two parties was also a little cold, Li Xiaoru had wondered, did the other party change her mind? Even if she changed her mind, she couldn't help it, she didn't even have time to feel sorry for herself.

It turned out that Jiang Chengfeng, like her, was so busy that it was dark, day and night were reversed, and they didn't have time to fall in love!

Liu Yan just wanted to make things clear, she didn't want to make Li Xiaoru cry, seeing that her tears were about to fall, on the crowded street, Liu Yan hurriedly wiped her tears with her hands, "I'm a woman, it's useless for you to cry with pear blossoms, you have to cry in front of the wind, and the tears are valuable." ”

Li Xiaoru laughed, and said with a tearful smile, "You can't be a black-hearted and unscrupulous boss and exploit the wind." ”

"Am I that kind of person? don't slander me," Liu Yan pretended to be angry and smiled, "Chengfeng is also the major shareholder of the company, Xuewen Tumo has rave reviews, and the number of users is increasing day by day, according to this momentum, if it goes public in a few years, Chengfeng may be worth hundreds of millions," listed or something, it was Liu Yan who said casually, Xuewen Tumo has only been online for a short time, and the profit is not obvious, and it is 108,000 miles away from the listing, and it is their top priority to attract other investors to refinance and expand the scale.

Liu Yan said this just to reassure Li Xiaoru, "Chengfeng has a very high income now, not missing the 400,000, don't worry about not paying back the money, study hard, money is a trivial matter, and studies are the most important thing." ”

Li Xiaoru listened, but there was a kind of panic in her heart. She has only been away for half a year, her friends are making rapid progress in their respective fields, Sun Weiwei has run the "Little Ladies" studio in full swing, and it can be seen from everyone's double dividends that the "Little Ladies" must have made more money;

Tao Zhiyao, as the vice president of Galaxy Film and Television, has gone from being unskilled in business at the beginning to now being responsible for the operation and promotion of film and television dramas, and successfully sold "Youth Plan" to National Television;

Miao Xiaomei is becoming more and more famous in the industry, and even some first-line stars are admiring her to make up, she is too busy, and plans to set up a studio in the second half of the year to recruit apprentices;

Shen Mozhen and Lina's Chinese and Western style cooperation video, Li Xiaoru also watched it on Weibo, Shen Mozhen's Weibo fans have exceeded 400w, and when she was Tang Tu's girlfriend, her fans were only 5w;

Yang Huayue's role as a female gangster in "Youth Plan" is more likable than the heroine, and so far the TV series has aired four episodes, and the ratings are higher than one episode;

After Chu Yu's comeback, due to various scandals, her popularity has not been low, "Little Walnut" will be completed in June, and "Battle of the North Wind" will be released in June, it can be expected that she, who is the heroine, will receive more attention.

And she is studying in Julia, outsiders don't know, it seems to be very beautiful, in fact, she is standing still, she has achieved nothing, and there is a high probability that she will not be able to read a master's degree, her future is at a loss, there are too many strong people here, innate advantages, acquired cultivation, the strong are always strong, and the competition is cruel, how can she surpass everyone and fight her way out?

If Jiang Chengfeng really becomes a partner of a company worth hundreds of millions in the future, as Liu Yan said, is she still worthy of it?

Li Xiaoru was in a depressed mood, and she entered the restaurant with Liu Yan with a heavy heart, and when she ordered the food, Liu Yan was really not at ease, so she asked her directly, "Why are you unhappy? Is it too much pressure to study?" I see that your face is not good, and you have lost a lot of weight. ”

Li Xiaoru has been suppressed for so long, she really needs a mouth to talk to, Liu Yan is her best friend, if she doesn't tell her, who else can she talk to? Li Xiaoru didn't hide it, and told Liu Yan all her worries and predicaments, including her signing up for the piano competition.

Liu Yan listened to her with a serious expression and did not interject.

"The Chinese classmates here, some people's style always reminds me of Zhu Xiyang, of course, it's not that they suck du, or are bad guys or anything, but that indescribable feeling is very similar, I can't get along with them. ”

"If you can't get along, you won't get along, and you don't have to force it," Liu Yan said, "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, composition, vocal music...... They've known each other for a long time, they're in a circle, they've got their own little group, and they've shared first-hand music with each other, and there's no way to know anything like the Busoni competition in the U.S. for example. Just like before our final exams, find a reason for the exam papers of previous years, I have never participated in such a big competition, I want to know how the people in front of me passed, what are the precautions, what are the mainstream aesthetics of the judges, so that I can practice the piano in a targeted manner, otherwise I will work hard, and the result will be in the wrong direction, isn't it useless work?" Li Xiaoru finished speaking, and drank the cold water in the water cup in one gulp, she was really too anxious.

Liu Yan's former master also has the concept of the Busoni Piano Competition in her memory, and it is just a concept, the former owner never thought of participating in such a high-level competition, she didn't have to try to sign up at all, she was properly passed in the screening stage, and even the opportunity to go on stage was wooden.

Liu Yan asked Li Xiaoru, "Can't you find relevant information on the Internet?"

Li Xiaoru shook her head, "It's too little, most of the people who study music are cold and arrogant, how can they be willing to share their valuable experience publicly." ”

After listening to her story, Liu Yan can probably understand that Li Xiaoru's most urgent task now is to pass the screening of the competition at the end of May, and the preliminary and final rounds are not left aside for the time being, the problem is that the organizing committee of Busoni will give a fixed number of shortlisted places for each region, and will not give a few more places because of the high piano level of the applicants in this country/region.

In previous years, there were only 20 places in the North American division, note that the "North American division" also included Canada, as well as other famous music schools in the United States, and almost all the undergraduate and master's students in the four years of the Juilliard Piano Department signed up for this competition.

It's no wonder that Li Xiaoru is not under much pressure!

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

But she thought about it for a while, "Didn't you say that there are still some contestants who can be directly shortlisted for the preliminary round without participating in the screening competition?"
