In 1932, it was not a good year for Qin Di, because his grandfather had just passed away, and his grandfather Qin Zhaoji's health was gradually deteriorating, and he rarely went downstairs for a walk; The two old men, I'm afraid they won't last long.

Qin Di gave them the elixir he had refined, but it didn't have much effect, because they didn't have a spiritual root and couldn't absorb the spiritual energy hidden in the elixir. This elixir is best taken gradually when you are young in order to exert some effects.

On September 28, Gu Rumei came to visit.

"Sir, I have finished taking the pill you gave, and I feel that there is no discomfort in my body. And my piano skills have also improved a lot. A few days ago, I played a song 'Fishing Boat Singing Evening' at the Lyceum Theatre, which was praised by many people. Two great violinists said that I was approaching the Dao realm. ”

Qin Di smiled slightly: "The Dao realm is only a lower level. Now that you've done the dehairing, you're ready to learn new tunes. ”

So, Qin Di taught her a new song and told her: "The kung fu of Xianyinmen is all in the art of quyi, as long as you play diligently and concentrate on pondering, you will slowly improve your skills and brew true qi in the five internal organs." ”

Gu Rumei smiled: "Sir, I often feel that my fingers are slightly hot, what's going on?"

Qin Di said: "This is the result of the six arm meridians, and the result of initial stimulation, if you continue to cultivate further, you will also be able to open the stele and crack the stone in the future." ”

Gu Rumei was taken aback: "Ah, I haven't practiced kung fu, can I be like the Du family sisters?"

"They have birth defects, and at most they can achieve transformation. And you are not, there is no upper limit to the kung fu of Xianyinmen. ”

"With such a strong hand, will you break the strings?"

"As long as you have a heart, you won't break the strings. ”

"What is a piano heart?"

"If there is a piano in the heart, it is the heart of the piano. ”

Gu Rumei pondered for a while, and then said, "Sir, I only learn the piano to practice, and I don't want to make a living by playing the piano." But recently, several theaters have approached me and wanted to sign a contract with me to play the piano, what do you say I should do?"

Qin Di said: "The kung fu of the Xianyin Gate needs to have an audience, and the more listeners, the easier it is to stimulate the aura hidden in the air. When it reaches a certain point, it can even cause the sky to fall, and the rain will fall, so that your kung fu will suddenly improve a lot. For this reason, you can pick a big theater and sign a contract. ”

"But some listeners don't listen to the piano honestly, so they like to mess around, what should I do? Some people even follow me all the way and stay outside the door and refuse to leave!"

"Didn't you have bodyguards with you?"

"They were crying wolves in the distance, and the bodyguards couldn't chase them away. ”

Qin Di couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought to himself: "My apprentice, since he cut the hair and washed the marrow, he has become more and more beautiful. As a violinist who plays the piano, if he does not reach the level of being otherworldly, similar to Yan Xue's 'song fairy', it is easy to be harassed. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a different place to live." I am on the opposite side of the Huangpu River, in Lujiazui, there is a manor, covering an area of 50 acres. The houses there have good sound insulation, even if someone is screaming outside, they can't be heard inside. ”

Gu Rumei said: "But it's inconvenient to cross the river every day?"

"It's okay, there is a private dock in the manor, and there is a small boat, and someone will take you across the river. ”

"Sir, such a manor costs a lot of money, and I'm afraid I can't afford to pay the rent. ”

"Haha, you are my apprentice, what kind of rent do you say?"

"But I don't want to. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you play the piano music regularly, you will soon be famous all over the world, and money will flow like a big water. ”

"Sir, how so?"

Qin Di advised: "You sign a contract with the theater, don't sign a long-term contract! Sign a contract with them every three months! No more than half a year! Because your worth will rise rapidly, and it is unimaginably high! Yan Xue can raise millions of dollars if you hold a concert! If you play once in the future, you can also make people bankrupt!"

Gu Rumei was speechless when she heard it: "No, sir, every time you come to listen to the music, you are old listeners who know the piano, if you drain their money, who can enter the theater?"

After all, she wants to be a musician, and she is not a secular geisha, so how can she squeeze the money out of the audience?

"Then discuss with the theater, divide the audience into several grades, and reduce the ticket price for those who know the piano. ”

The master and apprentice talked for a while, and Gu Rumei left happily.

Qin Di sent a lawyer to help her sign the contract, so as not to fall into the trap of others if she was careless.

The Qin family runs a lot of businesses, and each of them has hired a legal officer.

Qin Di himself hired three barristers in one go.

One of them is called "Wu Kaisheng", who received a doctorate in law from the University of Lyon, France, and has historically defended Chen Yannian, Chen Shuqing, and Liao Chengzhi. His law firm is a personal advisor to the Central Bank, Hartung Bank, major chambers of commerce, guilds, and famous directors and entertainers.

When it comes to the name Wu Kaisheng, everyone may not be familiar with it, but if he has a grandson named Wu Zheng and his granddaughter-in-law is Yang Lanlan, everyone will know.

Wu Kaisheng not only defended the Red Party, but also had a close relationship with the leaders of the Green Gang, Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong.

As a lawyer, Wu Kaisheng first made his mark in the magic capital and attracted widespread attention in the "Chen Atang case" in 1926.

Chen Atang was a rickshaw driver, and one day a Japanese sailor got drunk and asked Chen Atang to take him to the 16 mile pu wharf. After arriving, the Japanese sailors did not pay the fare, and Chen Atang asked him for the fare, and the Japanese sailors were so angry that they beat Chen Atang with their hands, so that Chen Atang was seriously injured and sent to the hospital and died.

When Wu Kaisheng heard this, he immediately stepped forward to fight a lawsuit for Chen Atang's family for free, and came forward to negotiate with the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, demanding that the murderer be severely punished and compensated.

In the end, the Nagasaki court finally sentenced the Japanese sailor who caused the accident to three years in prison and gave Chen Atang's family 3,000 yuan in financial compensation.

It's a pity that later, during the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Kaisheng took refuge in Wang's puppet government and became a high-ranking official.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was arrested on charges of traitor. After liberation, he accepted labor reform, was later released, and did a lot of work in New China, until he died in 1997, and lived 97 years old, which is also a long-lived person.

The other two barristers invited by Qin Di were Zhang Jindao and Lu Tianyi.

About Zhang Jindao, I can only say two simple words. He was the Minister of Education of the Beiyang Government, and in 1925 he took out 20,000 oceans as a scholarship, and in that era, it must have been very difficult to take out 20,000 yuan in one go, and he was willing to support young people.

Lu Tianyi is a little older and once passed the Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty.

Qin Di invited this kind of barrister, naturally to take precautions and keep them to do big things. As for the trivial matter of helping Gu Rumei sign a contract, they don't need to go out, just find a small lawyer from a law firm.
