In the afternoon, after school.

The roof of the teaching building.

Li Qian was practicing singing, and suddenly he heard the sound of clattering high heels, so he stopped and turned his head to look at the entrance.

After a while, it was Qi Jie who came up.

"Ahh

Li Qian smiled, not caring about the pretense in her words. Although he is not a resourceful person, he has lived for more than 30 years in his last life, and he has mixed with one or two dozen crews, and he has seen a lot of various things. Since he knew about Qi Jie's recording, he only needed to push back a little, and he could probably know that the sound of playing the guitar on the roof of the building must have been heard by Qi Jie, who had stayed in the office at the time, and everything that happened later.

After all, the third floor and the roof are really not too far apart.

And to tell the truth, although Qi Jie, the teacher, is a few years older than him in terms of physical age, but when it comes to the maturity of her heart, in Li Qian's eyes, Qi Jie can really only be regarded as a little girl.

Her small movements, small eyes, and careful thoughts, a real high school student may not be able to see them, but how can Li Qian not be able to see them?

It's just that although he can see Teacher Qi Jie's abnormality, he can't figure out where this abnormality comes from and what it is.

In fact, during today's class, he realized that something was wrong.

Although he didn't count carefully, after the two Chinese classes, Qi Jie's eyes drifted to him, not fifty times......, but thirty times! It seems that she is in a very good mood today, even when she lectures, she looks funny, obviously it is the most boring review class, but after more than ten minutes of explanation, she was stunned to make the classroom laugh four or five times!

It's an absolute extraordinary!

"Teacher Qi has something to do with me?" asked Li Qian.

Unexpectedly, Qi Jie suddenly smiled, "I can't come up and listen to you sing if it's okay?"

Li Qian smiled and didn't answer.

Although there are not many words, there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Combined with her various performances that were really abnormal today, for a while, Li Qian was really a little unpredictable.

At this time, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, the dryness had not subsided, and the balcony had been basking in the sun for a day, especially hot, but Qi Jie didn't dislike it at all, and didn't even wait for Li Qian to say anything, she naturally reached out and touched the temperature of the stone bench, then took out a tissue and wiped the floating soil, and then sat down - put on a posture that I am here to listen to the song!

Li Qian quietly watched her movements from beginning to end, and when she looked up, he only smiled slightly.

Then, he said, "It just so happens that I also have something to find you, Teacher Qi." Well, two things."

As he spoke, he walked over and opened the guitar case, pulled out a few pieces of paper from the side pocket, and took out a note from his large notebook, returned to Qi Jie, and handed the note over first.

Qi Jie was still smiling at first, but when she took it and looked at it, she was stunned for a moment, "Check?"

Pinching the check with two fingers that said "20,000 yuan", she raised her head to look at Li Qian, her face changed several times in a row, and the fingers pinching the check were also extremely hard.

"What do you mean?" she asked coldly.

Li Qian was surprised.

You don't have to think about it to know who it is, and you can't help but be surprised when you suddenly receive a check for 20,000 yuan, so Li Qian was mentally prepared for Qi Jie's surprise, and even prepared words to persuade her to accept the check, but at this moment, the abnormality on Qi Jie's face was obviously not just surprised.

Doubts? and...... Wrath?

That's right, Li Qian was sure that what he saw from her face was annoyance!

However, this is to send money, and it doesn't matter if she asks for money, where does her anger come from?

Li Qian was puzzled.

After being stunned for a moment, he deliberately softened the prepared rhetoric and said: "I don't know what the rules are in the music industry, but even if it is another industry, there is an introduction fee, so I hope that Mr. Qi will not be too little for this money." Of course, money is just a trivial matter, Mr. Qi, you have done me a great favor, I am very grateful, if there is anything that needs my help in the future, you can speak, I will do my best. ”

Qi Jie Huoran got up and stared at Li Qian deadly, her eyes were like staring at the enemy, and her chest was also rising and falling violently, which seemed to mean that she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

Li Qian looked at her with a look full of surprise and incomprehension.

Qi Jie looked back with a resentful look.

Then, she suddenly clasped her hands together, instantly crumpled the check into a paper ball, threw it in front of Li Qian, and said coldly: "I don't need you to help me with this money!

After finishing speaking, she finally glared at Li Qian with that angry look, and then quickly turned around and went downstairs.

From here to there, it was only a few minutes.

Li Qian's face was full of astonishment, his eyes first followed her background, and then he listened to the sound of her footsteps coming from the empty staircase - she was walking in a hurry, and it seemed that she was indeed angry!

But why?

Obviously, she was still very happy when she came up, and it was clear that she was elated and energetic all day today, why did she become angry when she gave the check?

Could it be that I actually gave the wrong money?

Li Qian glanced down at the check at his feet, leaned over to pick it up, unfolded it, and flattened it, looking at the words "20,000 yuan" on it, as well as his father's signature, he was confused for the first time since he was reborn.

Since when did giving money make people angry?

The problem is that this money is reasonable, and it should make the person who receives the money happy!

After being stunned on the rooftop for a long time, Li Qian was still puzzled, and then he seemed to suddenly remember, turned around and walked to the protective wall and leaned out to look down-

Qi Jie is really fast!

She strode forward in her heels, straightened, and strode forward.

It seemed that it only took a dozen steps for her to cross the small square in front of the building, turn around, and go out of the school gate.

Looking at her stubborn back, Li Qian smashed his mouth in embarrassment, reached out and took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket to knock out a dot, took a deep breath, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

…………

"Lao Liao ......"

"Whew...... Wait a minute, baby, wait a minute......"

“……”

"Okay, I was rehearsing in the studio just now, and now I can say, what's the matter?"

"I'm!"

While speaking, Qi Jie stretched out her hand to turn on the air conditioner, adjusted the air outlet to face herself, and let the cool air blow on her body, face, and arms, but she still felt that it was difficult to solve the heat and boredom on her body.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" on the other end of the phone, Liao Liao was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked one after another, "Is it something with you...... It's called Lu Liang, right? Quarreled with your fiancé?"

"Don't mention him to me, what does it have to do with him!"

"Uh...... You're really angry, it seems that you're really angry, what's wrong?"

Qi Jie took a deep breath, took another deep breath, and suddenly burst out and shouted, "He gave me money!"

Liao Liao's breath was stunned on the phone, and then he said, "Give you money? Who gave you money?"

"Li Qian!"

"Uh...... He—he's giving you money...... What's there to be angry about? Did he say why did he give you money?"

Qi Jie took another deep breath and said, "I said, I said it was an introduction fee for me." ”

"Oh...... That's good! Isn't this quite normal? By the way, I forgot to remind you to remember to ask him! You don't know, there is indeed this rule in our circle, there are brokers, brokerage companies needless to say, if not, then generally rely on introducers, middlemen to pull the work, then you must not let people run errands for nothing, you must give some hard money. Intermediary fees or something, small work, that is, a few hundred yuan or a meal, the big work is proportional to the commission, generally between 3 and 8 percent, there are also 10 percent, or even 20 percent...... I didn't expect it, this kid is really very knowledgeable and sensible! Uh, by the way, how much did he give you?"

"Twenty thousand!" Qi Jie said angrily.

Hearing that Liao Liao actually thought that it was natural to give him an introduction fee, Qi Jie suddenly felt more and more depressed.

"Oh...... 20,000, that's 5 percent, that's not low, he's very generous! Then why are you angry? Don't you just take it? This is what you deserve!"

"But...... But you're my friend, he's my student...... Why did he give me money?"

On the other end of the phone, Liao Liao didn't react for a while, and it took a long time to understand her train of thought, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "What did you say...... One yard is one yard, and those who often mix in the circle, who doesn't know whom? The old cannon who often gives the job to the runners, and those who take the job in the circle, are not all friends, and they are not all very familiar? But friends are friends, and relationships are relationships, and you can't just give money because you are familiar, and if you don't give money, who will give you a job next time? If people can't get the money, what will you eat and drink?"

Qi Jie became more and more angry when she heard this, "But I'm not from your circle, he ...... He's not now! He's my student!"

Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: "I said baby, what's wrong with you? Why is this ...... He's sensible and willing to give it, so won't you be done with ......it? Are you still angry that people give you money?"

Qi Jie was silent for a long time when she heard this.

In the earpiece in his hand, Liao Liao "fed" several times in succession, but Qi Jie suddenly lowered his hand, glanced at the screen, and suddenly reached out and hung up the phone.

A moment later, the phone rang.

Qi Jie hung up.

Soon, the phone rings again.

Qi Jie hung up again.

Then, only about ten seconds later, a text message came, she looked down and glanced at it, it was Liao Liao, she said: You are a relative?

Staring at the screen for a moment, she suddenly pressed the power off button.

After a few moments, the word "goodbye" popped up on the screen, and after a ringtone and vibration, the phone screen went black.

Then, suddenly, two tears slid down her face.

Soon, more tears were falling.

She wasn't crying, but she was crying.

After a few moments, she dropped her phone and raised her hand to cover her face.

He won't understand.

She won't understand either.

He's a musical genius, and so is she.

"But, I'm not. ”

Yes, Li Qian is her student, so when she learned that the person who played the guitar and sang upstairs was actually Li Qian, she was surprised, she admired, and when she learned that those beautiful songs that Li Qian sang were all songs written by himself, she was not only surprised, not only admired, she even rejoiced - although those music-related talents were certainly not taught by her Chinese language teacher, and even his national language level was not necessarily taught by her Chinese language teacher, and to a greater extent, it was actually the family history of others, but he was, after all, She's a student after all!

And after Li Qian's work has even reached the level of being praised by Liao Liao and buying it at a sky-high price of 400,000 yuan, she is not only surprised, not only admired, not only joyful, but even began to have a feeling of little worship.

So, she became curious.

She wondered why Li Qian had always been so low-key, and he had never heard anyone talk about his musical talent, but why he was so talented.

And it was also on that day that when she sincerely but apologized to him that she suddenly discovered that Li Qian was not only talented, but also seemed to be more calm and atmospheric than herself, a teacher, and an adult. With a few fluttering words between gestures, he resolved his embarrassment, and at the same time brushed aside that very immoral thing!

So, in his original plain and dark life trajectory, he was like a pearl that had been brushed away from the mud and sand, and suddenly exuded a shining brilliance, making her feel as if she had been illuminated all of a sudden!

Liao Liao is her best friend, she is a genius.

Li Qian is her student, and he is also a genius!

And now, the two geniuses met like this because of her and because of her Qi Jie.

She said that his songs were good and that she was blown away by his talent!

She said, I will definitely be able to sing these songs of his!

Qi Jie felt that she was honored!

He said that she has a good voice, has a unique texture, and is charming!

He said, she's going to be red!

Qi Jie also felt that she was honored!

She was always excited that day, and for the time since, until she received the check, and that excitement that she couldn't hold and didn't want to press—

In the past, after three years of intersection, she had long known that Liao Liao was talented, so although the relationship between the two was excellent, she always knew clearly that the relationship between herself and her was separated by a layer because of her outstanding talent. In other words, she felt that she was good at nothing and did not deserve to be such a good friend with a girl like Liao Liao.

But now, because of Li Qian, because she personally introduced the encounter and cooperation between Li Qian and Liao Liao, she suddenly found herself involved in such a major event.

She suddenly felt as if she was on their side.

She felt that she was all with them!

Yes, although she can't compose lyrics, can't compose, doesn't know any musical instruments, and can't even sing well...... But she's with them!

A dark and lackluster life seems to have suddenly broken a crack.

Although this gap is narrow and small, it ...... The sun is already starting to shine in.

She seemed to see another world and another life.

It seems that the days of being stuck, muddy, and dazed in the past, the days that she hated so much, but there was no escape, and she didn't know where to escape, could be ended!

So, she's excited, she's cheering, she's refreshed, she's laughing and talking......

She had even thought about it, and she was ready to go to the roof of the building to listen to Li Qian sing in the future, and she was even ready to learn from him about how he learned music, and how she found out that she actually had such a talent in music - it seems that as long as you can get closer to him, you can have more strength and courage to escape from the current life!

But...... Syllable!

A check was handed to her.

He said, "You've done me a favor, so I'm going to pay you, give you referral fees, agency fees, and commissions......

However, she didn't want any referral fees!

I don't want any brokerage fees!

I don't want any commissions!

She didn't want that fluttery check to push her out of their ranks......

However, she knew that she was still pushed away.

It turned out that when the dream was shattered, she and them were not together.

…………

Tears slipped silently and quickly, one after the other, and the teardrops soon became strings and left along the fingers.

Her shoulders shook silently, and her body trembled slightly.

Moments later, she suddenly threw herself behind the wheel and burst into tears.

The car parked on the side of the road without the slightest movement suddenly whistled, startling the pedestrians riding by, and hurriedly jumped out of the car to avoid the sidewalk on the side of the road, but when he turned around, he saw that the car had not started, and the man couldn't help frowning and scolding.

"You're sick!"
