Chapter 467: Chance Encounter
It has been half a year since Chen Kai came out of Kunlun Wonderland, and since Shen Ran made the decision to quit the music scene, he has gradually completed some of the work he originally took over in the past few months.
She didn't tell anyone around her about her plans, including friends and family, not even her agent.
And on this day, after Shen Ran looked at his remaining work arrangements, he finally decided to have a showdown with his agent. The rest of her work now will be completely finished in about half a month.
Shen Ran plans to officially announce her retirement from the music scene in half a month and leave this circle where she has been for ten years.
"What? Of course, you're not joking, are you? Shen Ran's agent was taken aback when he heard Shen Ran's words.
Shen Ran responded very calmly: "I'm not joking, but very serious." Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I decided to quit music after finishing my work almost half a year ago. ”
"This ...... However, I don't know why you want to quit the music scene, you know that you are really in the prime of life now. You're not even thirty years old! It is a time when you should vigorously expand your career, how can you suddenly say that you want to quit the music industry at this time? The agent couldn't understand Shen Ran's decision, and persuaded him bitterly. As Shen Ran's agent, she naturally knows Shen Ran's popularity and value now, if Shen Ran really quits the music scene, how huge the loss will be.
At the same time, she herself didn't want Shen Ran to suddenly leave the music scene at such a time when her career and personal singing level were at their peak. This is a loss for the Chinese music circle, and it is a loss for many fans!
Shen Ran shook his head very firmly and said: "It's been more than ten years since my debut, and I have basically gotten everything I deserve in music and singing, to be honest, I really don't have any regrets now." Moreover, I have spent most of my time in busy work in the past ten years, and I have little private life because of the impact of fame. ”
"Now I am compared to the desire for the stage. It's more about looking forward to being able to start having a life of their own......"
Hearing Shen Ran's words, the agent fell silent. As an insider, she naturally knows very well that a star, especially a diva-level singer like Shen Ran, has almost no private life at all, no matter where she goes, she will attract passers-by to 'watch', and there will be countless 'paparazzi' all day and day every day.
Shen Ran said that she was more eager to have her own private life, and she understood it emotionally. However, intellectually, she still couldn't accept Shen Ran's withdrawal from the music scene like this.
After being silent for a long time, the agent spoke again: "Yes." Otherwise, since you feel a little tired, then let's take a good rest for a while and do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if it's half a year, or even a year or two. We don't have to quit the music scene completely, don't you think that's okay? ”
Shen Ran also understands the agent's thoughts, there is a big difference between taking a long break for a period of time and officially retiring from the music scene. However, Shen Ran's own decision to quit the music industry is very firm, and it is not something that the agent can convince with a few words.
Therefore, Shen Ran still shook his head very decisively. said: "Sister Luo, thank you for taking care of me in the past few years, but I have really decided, so." Sister Luo, you don't have to persuade me. You can help me explain this to the company, and I will make a formal announcement when I finish the rest of the work. ”
The contract signed by Shen Ran with his brokerage company has a very large degree of autonomy. Even a decision as heavy as quitting the music scene can be decided by oneself without the consent of the company.
After all, Shen Ran's family background is not ordinary, and the family is not short of money, what kind of decision does she have to make. Nor can the agency force her to change.
After listening to Shen Ran's words, the agent knew very well that Shen Ran was really determined to leave the music scene. She has taken Shen Ran for so many years, and she knows Shen Ran's character too well, once Shen Ran decides about something, it will be difficult for others to persuade her to change.
Although he was still a little unwilling, in the end, the agent could only sigh lightly, glanced at Shen Ran, and said, "I will tell the company about this." It's just that...... However, you really don't think about it anymore? Even if it's not for anything else, just for the fans who like you. ”
Shen Ran still shook his head with a smile, "No need." I've said before that if one day I myself start to get tired of life in this circle and my desire for the stage is no longer so strong, then I will leave decisively. Now is the time. As for the fans...... I think they'll understand. Even if they don't understand, I won't do anything to change, I want to have my own life. ”
"Alas...... Well, since you've said that, I won't say anything more. I'll do my best to help you minimize the negative impact. The agent said.
"Well, Sister Luo, thank you!" Shen Ran thanked him.
At this time, the agent reminded again: "Ranran, if you really don't plan to change your mind, I suggest that you can start to vaguely reveal some rumors on your neck in the past two days, so that fans can have a buffer and not be too sudden when you officially announce it." ”
"Well, okay, Sister Luo, I will." Shen Ran responded.
When Shen Ran was about to quit the music scene, Chen Kai and Li Jingyue returned to J City again. After half a year of cultivation, Li Jingyue's cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth layer of condensation, and now she is preparing to break through the Transformation Yuan Stage.
Li Jingyue's foundation is very solid, and at this moment, her breakthrough cultivation is also very smooth, and the true qi in her body has gradually condensed a drop of true yuan, stepping out of this step in the condensation period and the transformation period.
After half a year of cultivation, Chen Kai's cultivation improvement is not very obvious, after all, he is already in the Jindan stage, and it takes a long time and a lot of energy to improve one step.
Luo Shuang's cultivation has some slight improvements, and when she left Kunlun Wonderland, her cultivation had broken through to the late stage of the Transformation Yuan for a long time, and now after half a year, her cultivation has gradually approached the peak of the Transformation Yuan Period.
According to her current cultivation speed, another year and a half should be enough to truly reach the peak of Huayuan. However, it is not so easy to break through the Jindan period.
Even if you reach the peak of the Transformation Yuan, it will take a long time to refine the True Yuan repeatedly, as short as two or three years, and as long as five or six years, seven or eight years are normal.
After all, the aura on the earth is very thin and scarce, and if it is in the Kunlun Fairyland, then this time may be shortened.
"Huh? You, you are...... Chen Kai? ”
In J City, in a supermarket near Chen Kai's house, Chen Kai, who was pushing a shopping cart with Li Jingyue to buy something, suddenly heard a voice from the side and couldn't help but be stunned.
When Chen Kai turned his head to look almost suspiciously, he saw a woman about twenty-six or seventeen years old next to him looking at him in surprise.
The woman made Chen Kai feel very familiar, and after a slight trance, Chen Kai gradually recognized it. Although the other party's appearance has changed a lot, especially the dress is completely different from before, but the face is still vaguely the same as before......
"Are you...... Xu Shu? Chen Kai looked at the other party and said.
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but smile, nodded vigorously at Chen Kai, and said, "Hmm! It's me! I can't imagine that you can still know me after so many years, I thought you had forgotten about me! ”
This woman is Xu Shu, Chen Kai's class president in high school. When they were in high school, the relationship between the two of them was quite good, but Chen Kai was trapped in Kunlun Wonderland for more than six years, and the two had no contact for many years.
"Hehe, how could it be. I just forgot that no one can forget you, the squad leader. Chen Kai couldn't help but make a small joke and said.
Xu Shu pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at Chen Kai, and said, "I can't imagine that you, a nerd back then, have learned to pick up good words now." ”
Xu Shu is a big beauty, and she is dressed like an intellectual female white-collar worker at the moment, and she purses her lips and smiles at the moment, and suddenly has a feeling of being charming.
Chen Kai smiled slightly and said, "Squad leader, do you also live around here?" ”
"yes, yes. Listen to you, you also live next to it? Xu Shu asked, looking at Chen Kai with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to shine slightly.
Probably feeling the slightest strangeness in Xu Shu's eyes when he looked at Chen Kai, Li Jingyue, who was standing next to Chen Kai, suddenly moved forward half a step forward quietly, then grabbed Chen Kai's arm and asked, "Chen Kai, is this ......?"
It was only at this time that Xu Shu noticed Li Jingyue beside Chen Kai. Originally, because she saw Chen Kai, almost all of her attention was put on Chen Kai, so that she even ignored Li Jingyue next to Chen Kai, but when she saw Li Jingyue's actions at this moment, her eyes immediately moved to Li Jingyue's body and looked at Li Jingyue.
"Oh, Jingyue, let me introduce you, this is Xu Shu, my former class president in high school." Chen Kai reacted and hurriedly introduced Li Jingyue.
At this time, Xu Shu on the opposite side suddenly said: "Old classmate, this should be your girlfriend, right?" It's beautiful! ”
Xu Shu praised, but a wisp of color inadvertently flashed in his eyes.
Before Chen Kai could answer Xu Shu's words, Li Jingyue took the initiative to answer: "Well, yes." I am Chen Kai's girlfriend, and my name is Li Jingyue. ”
After speaking, Li Jingyue stretched out a hand towards Xu Shu.
Xu Shu glanced at Chen Kai and Li Jingyue, showed a smile, and reached out to shake Li Jingyue lightly, "Hello, my name is Xu Shu." ”
After letting go of his hand, Xu Shu suddenly said, "Old classmate, are you free, let's find a place to have a cup of tea and talk?" ”
Chen Kai thought about the rare encounter with an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years, especially when his relationship with Xu Shu was still quite good, so he nodded and responded, "Well, okay." Well, we've got a little more to buy. ”
"Okay. Why don't we go together? Xu Shu said.
"Good!" (To be continued......)
