Chapter 50: The First Meeting
Along the way, from the playground to the library, and then to the classroom, Li Jingwei seemed to see the teenager running and playing with his classmates again.
As I walked and thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. I am only 21 years old, not old, why do I keep reminiscing and sighing today. Even if it touches the scene, it should be high-spirited.
After all, it is just a young classmate, and he is in his prime.
When passing by the cultural and sports building between the teaching building and the library, Li Jingwei heard the beautiful sound of the piano coming from the piano room. Playing is a piano piece composed by Beethoven in 1810, "To Alice". This is also a tune that Li Jingwei played countless times when he was learning the piano in his early days.
Legend has it that the original inspiration for this piece came from a girl named Alice.
There was an old man who was blind and wanted to see the forest and the sea. Alice asks for help in order to help the old man fulfill this wish. When Beethoven heard about it, he was very moved and played a beautiful piece of music for the old man.
Listening to this beautiful music, the old man seemed to see the beautiful snow-capped peaks of the Alps, the blue waters around Tahiti, the flying seagulls, the quiet forests and the bright sunshine. The old man no longer felt lonely and helpless, and closed his eyes happily.
Inspired by Alice's kindness and helpfulness, Beethoven gave this beautiful piece of music to this lovely girl.
Following this beautiful sound of the piano, Li Jingwei gently came to the piano room.
A girl was sitting at the piano with her back to the door, and the sound of the piano was flowing from the girl's fingers. Sometimes soft and tranquil, soft and comfortable, like a thin thread flowing through the heart.
Sometimes cheerful and smooth, elegant and agile, like a cheerful butterfly fluttering its beautiful wings. When the piece finally returns to the stack, the piece gradually becomes soft and soothing, as if a pair of lovers are holding hands and looking at each other, frozen in the gradual dispersion of the music.
Li Jingwei was intoxicated by the beautiful music, and involuntarily walked slowly to the piano.
The girl sensed someone coming behind her, turned around, and she saw Li Jingwei's badge hanging in front of her, flashing her beautiful big eyes, and said generously: "Hello, senior!" Two smiling dimples, with delicate voices.
This is a beautiful and vulgar girl, with black hair like lacquer, skin like jade, a pair of beautiful eyes still with childishness, decorated with long and curled thick eyelashes, and her eyes are clear and clear like stars. The girl looks thirteen or fourteen years old, although she still looks like a bud, but her beautiful and elegant appearance has begun to appear.
Li Jingwei looked at the pair of white jade-like hands that stayed on the ivory piano keys, and said: "You played very well, in the second insertion, pay attention to the changes in the mood of the music." ”
"In the afternoon art show, I had to play this piece live, and I was very nervous to perform in front of so many guests and alumni. The girl hesitated and said.
"Music is a great gift from Heaven to mankind and a harmonious voice for mankind to praise God. In many cases, there is no right or wrong presentation of music, just different ways for humans to praise God. You don't have to care too much about the audience, just express your heart. Li Jingwei has practiced the piano for more than ten years, and the improvement of his cultivation mood has given him his own understanding of the piano. "Can you let me play this tune?"
When the girl heard this, she seemed very excited and hurriedly stood up.
Soon, the beautiful music flowed out of Li Jingwei's fingertips, sometimes like the whispers of love between lovers, sometimes like the cheerful laughter of a girl's silver bell, sometimes like the fiery love between lovers, and sometimes like lovers looking at each other affectionately.
After a song, the aftermath lingered, and the girl seemed to be immersed in it, staring at Li Jingwei stupidly.
Li Jingwei stood up, smiled at the girl, and said, "You've already played very well, so don't worry, just play to your heart's content." Then, he walked outside.
When he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly heard the girl behind him say a little eagerly: "Big brother, my name is Qu Yunlei." What's your name, please?"
Li Jingwei. ”
"You must remember my name, my name is Qu Yunlei. The girl blushed with a pretty face, and a pair of jade hands were just holding, as if she was suppressing her urge to chase after her.
"I remembered. ”
"When will we meet again?" the girl asked persistently.
"As long as you practice the piano well and play the sound of heaven, God will definitely guide us to meet again. When the voice came, Li Jingwei had already disappeared outside the door.
Qu Yunlei looked at the door that seemed out of reach, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and silently said, "God, I will definitely play the sound of heaven for you, and you must let him wait for me." ”
Li Jingwei didn't know what the girl was silently reading, and he didn't expect that the two would meet again a few years later and be obsessed with it for the rest of their lives.
In the dark, fate seems to be destined.
Long Liyun has been paying attention to Li Jingwei, from Li Jingwei's speech on stage to talking to others later, she seems to be full of curiosity about this man. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just wanted to see what this man was doing.
After lunch, she accompanied Zhu Siyuan to chat with several business tycoons for a while, and then walked out under the pretext of visiting the campus. As soon as I came out of the gymnasium, I happened to meet Li Jingwei who came out of the piano room.
Long Liyun hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Li, hello!"
Li Jingwei originally wanted to call Zhao Yici to say hello, but when he heard someone who seemed to be calling him, he looked up, and was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Isn't this the staff of Cao's enterprise during the negotiation yesterday, such a coincidence!"
Li Jingwei immediately responded with a smile: "Hello!"
"Mr. Li is an alumnus of Puhai Middle School?" Long Liyun didn't know where to start for a while, and asked knowingly.
"Yes, this is my alma mater. Li Jingwei thought that Long Liyun also graduated from this school, so he asked, "You are also an alumnus, right?"
"I'm not, I'm here with a friend. Long Liyun replied as she stretched out her hand and said, "My surname is Long, and I'm glad to see you again." ”
"Hello Miss Long. I thought you were also an alumnus who graduated from Puhai. Li Jingwei said.
"I'm not from Puhai, I'm from Yunnan. Cao Xiadan of Cao's Enterprise is a good friend of mine, and I was very curious when I heard her say that she was going to participate in the acquisition negotiations, so I followed her yesterday afternoon. When Long Liyun said this, it seemed to show that she had no interest in yesterday's acquisition, but was just a bystander.
In fact, in yesterday's negotiations, Long Liyun didn't say a word from beginning to end, and she was indeed a bystander.
"Yunnan?surnamed Long?" Li Jingwei thought to himself, "Could it be a member of the Long family in Yunnan?"
"My name is Long Liyun, and I am from the Long family in Yunnan. As if seeing Li Jingwei's doubts, Long Liyun took the initiative to say.
Li Jingwei suddenly understood that the relationship was the object of his previous doll kiss. However, since the two sides have lifted this family business, it is not good to mention this matter, so as not to embarrass both parties.
So, Li Jingwei took the initiative to ask: "Is Old Man Long in good health?" I heard from my father that Old Man Long and my grandfather knew each other. ”
"Thank you! Grandpa is in good health. Long Liyun paused, as if she wanted to say something, but heard someone shouting, "Liyun." “
It turned out that Zhu Siyuan came out to find her.
When Zhu Siyuan saw Li Jingwei standing beside Long Liyun, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, and scolded in his heart: "This little deflated third is really a good fate. “
However, he was smiling with a spring breeze on his face, and took the initiative to hold Li Jingwei's hand, "Senior Brother Li, you are a hero and a teenager! Congratulations on becoming an outstanding alumnus!"
"Thank you, senior! Li Jingwei said.
Zhu Siyuan said congratulations, but Li Jingwei didn't see any sincere congratulations from the other party's eyes. However, this kind of thing is naturally impossible to say, so it is also a polite response, but there is no mood for further in-depth communication.
"Senior, Miss Long, I won't disturb you two and me!"
It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Li Jingwei deliberately laughed, then waved at the two, turned around and walked away quickly.
When he walked into the hall, Li Jingwei saw that the scenery on the stage was ready, and the art show would start soon, so he found a vacant seat to do it, picked up the program list on the table and watched it.
He noticed "Qu Yunlei Piano Solo - Dedicated to Alice", remembered the little girl he met before, and remembered the way the other party asked him to remember her name, and couldn't help but smile.
"Senior Li, Principal Zhu Peiyuan asked you to come over. The student volunteer who had been in charge of accompanying Li Jingwei came over and said to him.
Li Jingwei was surprised in his heart, and he didn't know why President Zhu was looking for him? It stands to reason that President Zhu has to receive a lot of alumni today, so how can he still have time to look for him.
When Li Jingwei was a student at Puhai Middle School, Zhu Peiyuan served as Li Jingwei's mathematics teacher, and to a large extent, he led Li Jingwei into the door of the world of mathematics. When Zhu Peiyuan discovered that Li Jingwei had a talent for mathematics, he encouraged him to study mathematics and participate in the Olympiad in mathematics competitions.
Li Jingwei once asked Zhu Peiyuan why he wanted to study mathematics, but the old man said mysteriously, "If one day you can use mathematical modeling to crack the secret of love, chasing girls will definitely be unfavorable." At the beginning, I wrote a love letter with a mathematical formula, and I caught up with your wife, who was the school flower of Puhai University at that time. ’
Li Jingwei, who was only 11 years old at the time, was ignorant and didn't know anything about love at all, but he longed for what the old man said about writing love letters with mathematical formulas.
After Li Jingwei was admitted to Jinghua University, the two have been in touch, it can be said that Li Jingwei embarked on the road of mathematics and achieved today's achievements, which has a lot to do with the encouragement of the presidents, and Li Jingwei has always been grateful.
Originally, when speaking as an outstanding alumnus, Li Jingwei wanted to talk about the help that the presidents have helped him over the years. As a result, when Zhu Peiyuan's opinion was consulted in advance, he was categorically rejected and had to give up.
When he came to a small conference room next to the hall, Li Jingwei saw that President Zhu was talking with Vice Mayor Li Guangzheng, so he respectfully greeted the two: "Hello President Zhu!
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhu Peiyuan patting his thigh and laughing: "What's the matter, Li Guangzheng? I just said that this kid won't call you 'Mayor Li' like other people, he will definitely call you 'Senior Li', and he will bet with me, if you lose! ”
Li Guangzheng was also stunned for a while!
I just told Zhu Peiyuan that today's alumni call themselves Mayor Li, which makes him very unaccustomed, and he hopes that everyone can call him senior or junior. As a result, Zhu Peiyuan immediately said that there is someone who will definitely call you 'senior', not 'mayor'.
Li Guangzheng didn't believe it, so the two made a bet.
Li Jingwei also understood at this time, but he had already been immune to some strange practices of this old principal, so he didn't feel strange. I didn't want to disturb the two elders chatting, and was about to say goodbye, but I heard Zhu Peiyuan say: "You kid doesn't suffer a loss, you have a box of two boxes of tea." ”
Li Jingwei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No! No, the tea that can make you think about it is rare, you can keep it for a while." ”
"Well, you're welcome! ”
Li Guangzheng, who was next to him, listened to the conversation between the two, pointed at Zhu Peiyuan and scolded with a smile: "Old Zhu, I have never seen you so thick-skinned, and you even have to take advantage of your own students." I guess you just said that on purpose, I guess this kid won't want it."
"Alas... Alas...!Li Guangzheng, you also heard it, it was this kid who said to let me keep it for drinking. He hasn't honored anything in all these years? Shouldn't he?"
When Li Jingwei heard this, he felt a chill all over his body. This old man did not hesitate to pour dirty water on himself in order to quarrel. I didn't bring him a gift when I went back to Puhai that time, it turned out that when I was at Jinghua University, I always brought roast duck when I came back from vacation, and after I came to the United States, I always brought Cuban cigars when I came back. That is, this time my grandfather was sick and came back in a hurry, so I didn't bring it.
"Haven't you honored you yet? Do you think the millions of dollars donated by this kid are all paper?" said Li Guangzheng dissatisfied.
Zhu Peiyuan suddenly turned off the fire, glanced at Li Jingwei and said, "Boy, do you want tea?"
"No, no, I like coffee. ”
"Li Guangzheng, you also saw it, he said it himself, he likes to drink coffee, not tea. ”
When Li Guangzheng heard this, he was simply speechless.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhu Peiyuan got up and said, "Let's talk, I still have to go out to perform the Zhangluo Zhangluo Literary and Art Show." ”
