Shen Long originally thought that he would return to New York after the end of the Japanese tour, but who knew that the success of the orchestra in Japan had also aroused interest from other regions, and the mainland and Xiangjiang had sent him invitations to hold concerts.

Shen Long readily agreed, since there is no way to enter the top circle in New York for the time being, then let's make a name for myself outside first! So he took the orchestra on a tour in mainland China and in Xiangjiang, and also received a warm welcome; As a result, he also established a certain connection with the literary and artistic workers in Hong Kong.

When she returned to the United States after a lap in East Asia, it was already a new year, but fortunately, Ning Ning has grown up now, and her ability to live independently is getting stronger, plus the care of Aunt Guo Yan, Ma Youcheng and others, she is all right.

"Hey, time flies so fast, before you know it, Ning Ning should be in high school." Looking at her daughter who is getting bigger and bigger, Guo Yan sighed, it has been two years since they brought Ning Ning from China to New York, in these two years, the first part of the animated film "Three Kingdoms" was filmed, Shen Long came up with a lot of new tunes, the East Asia tour was a great success, and Ning Ning also completed her studies in junior high school and is about to go to high school.

The school system in the United States is not the same as in China, whether it is junior high school or high school in China, it is three years, while in the United States, it is two years of junior high school and four years of high school, and they have to worry about Ning Ning's high school again.

"Ning Ning, what do you want to do in the future? If you still want to study music, you will continue to study in this school, but if you want to pursue another career, we will have to think about changing schools. Shen Long asked, each private school in the United States is good at different things, some are famous for music, some are famous for basketball, and some are outstanding in art.

Therefore, what kind of high school to choose should refer to Ning Ning's plan for her future, so that it is easier to enter the ideal university and engage in the career you want to engage in.

"In terms of music, I think my talent is almost at the peak, even if I continue to practice, at most I can mix the convenience of university admission, at most I can become a performer in an ordinary orchestra, and it is probably impossible to achieve a career with music like Uncle Ma and Dad!" Ning Ning said seriously.

After two years of careful teaching by Shen Long, Ning Ning's thinking mode is much more mature than that of ordinary peers, and when the children in China have not yet begun to think about the future, she has begun to think about her own development direction, "When you two go out to perform, I play at my aunt's house, and I feel that my uncle's business seems to be quite interesting, or I will study in a business school in the future, right?" ”

"If you want to do business, you don't just have to go to business school! But if you want to go to business, you can go to business school, Harvard, Stanford, the University of Pennsylvania, Berkeley, California, and Columbia, and you still have four years to study which university you want to go to. Shen Long helped her with the analysis.

It's a pity that now Bill Gates, Ballmer and Ellison have dropped out of Harvard, otherwise it would be really good to go to Harvard; But Yang Zhiyuan seems to have entered Stanford in 1990? At that time, Ning Ning should have just been studying in college, or should she go to Stanford? In the future, I can just start a business with Yang Zhiyuan.

"Well, when the time comes, I'll take advantage of the holidays to walk around each school, and then find some school professors' books to read, and see what school I like!" Ning Ning is very clear about her plans for the future.

"Well, in that case, we have to get ready to move! Find a high school with a high school enrollment rate in business school! "The income from this tour is good, and the stocks he bought before are also rising, and Shen Long can now buy a better house to move in than he is now.

At that time, you can hire servants, housekeepers and bodyguards, so that even if you and Guo Yan go out to perform, you don't have to trouble your aunt and horse friends to take them.

"Hey, I'm really reluctant to leave Jenny and Alice, Dad, can we have a body when we leave? I want to say goodbye to them! At the thought of separating from her friends, Ning Ning was a little reluctant.

"It's okay, it's not leaving New York, you can still see them during the holidays!" Shen Long stretched out his hand and rubbed Ning Ning's head, "Moreover, when you arrive at a new school, you will meet new friends, you can also go with me to choose a school this time, it will be regarded as a rehearsal for you to choose a university." ”

It took half a month to take Ning Ning to visit the private high schools in New York that provide more talents to the business school, and after comprehensive consideration, the school was determined.

Then I sold the old house and bought a new house near the school, this time the villa has a larger floor area, in addition to the front and back gardens, there are swimming pools, wine cellars and other facilities, even if there are more housekeepers, servants and bodyguards, it does not look crowded at all.

After moving, Shen Long held a party again, inviting friends he met in New York to come over to play, and Yo-Yo Ma's family, Ang Lee, Kitaro, Banana, David Byrne, Boris and others all came to visit with gifts.

"Congratulations, you can say that it is the same every year now, if it is a few years later, I am afraid it will be replaced by a real manor!" Yo-Yo Ma congratulated him, although his income in music is higher than Shen Long's, but there is no investment income, although Shen Long has mentioned that he can help him manage his finances, but Yo-Yo Ma does not want to be distracted in this regard.

However, Yo-Yo Ma is not much jealous, for him, life is already very satisfying now, he has just won his first Grammy Award - Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo, and it is time to be in high spirits.

Ang Lee is a little melancholy, he has now successfully graduated from New York University and signed a contract with William Morris Agency, but he has not been able to direct the opportunity for a long time, so he can only stay at home to read, watch films, write scripts, and do housework, and the family expenses all fall on his wife Lin Huijia, which makes him a little melancholy.

Shen Long encouraged him, he knew that Li An would always come out, and the two of them would have a chance to cooperate at that time.

Kitaro chatted with Shen Long about the Asian tour, which he had also held back then, and the two had a common topic in this regard.

Boris and several other old friends now often accompany Shen Long to participate in performances in the United States, compared with the performance outside the Lincoln Center in the past, there is a lot of progress, but unfortunately it is far from being compared with Shen Long.

David Byrne and his band have made a name for themselves in the rock circle and released several best-selling records, but this time he talked to Shen Long about another thing, which made Shen Long see a new opportunity.
