She arranged to meet the bassist Edward and the electric guitar player Emily at a cafe next to the school. Luo Li arrived early and ordered three cups of mocha. She sat there and checked the contract to make sure it was correct.
Edward and Emily arrived shortly after. The two sipped coffee and browsed through the contract. There was nothing to change, so they signed it. Luo Li took back the contract and chatted with the two of them about their trip to London.
After all, both of them were British, so they must have been to London many times, especially when Edward was said to have attended a concert in London.
Edward had grown up in England and was a true Englishman. He was 27 years old and had only played in some European countries. When Edward heard that Luo Li had gone to London, his first question was,""Did you go to Soho Square?”
Of course, Luo Li replied,"No, I didn't go. Why?"”
Edward smiled."Good, that's good. Otherwise, you're done for."”
"Why?" Luo Li asked indirectly. Is there anything bad?"
Edward waved his hand." If you didn't go, then don't ask. If you go in the future, be careful."”
Luo Li was filled with curiosity." Please tell me more. I really want to know. Maybe we'll go to London in the future. After all, our agency is in London."”
Edward sipped the white foam on the latte. Because it was frothed, it was an American latte instead of an Italian latte. Edward said,""Do you know what kind of industry Soho Square is famous for?”
"I don't know. Isn't that kind of business illegal?" Luo Li replied blankly.”
"No, he's not. It's not illegal in Country Y. It's legal. All fireworks girls have a license.”Edward said as he looked at Luo Li.
"I don't think so. In China, this kind of work is illegal. If you are caught, you will be fined and go to jail."”
Edward smiled." China is outdated. I'm not talking about whether it's legal or not. Of course, it's legal in Country Y, but I want to say that you have to be careful. Edward took a sip of coffee and continued,""There's violence there."
Luo Li widened her eyes in surprise and asked,"Please tell me more."
Edward said," XXXXX "
Luo Li nodded." Thank you. I won't provoke them. By the way, do you have a job?" We might have a performance in the future."
"Joining your band is my job," Edward said."I'm waiting for the money to buy food.”
Emily sat at the side without saying a word. Perhaps the topic was a little sensitive. When she heard Luo Li change the topic, she quickly replied,"I usually work in an advertising company, but I'm a temporary worker. I can choose not to go at any time.”
In the Tencent Cloud Organization class, the teacher said that a charismatic leader would always take the initiative to create opportunities to connect with his employees and try to understand their needs. Leading a band was the same. Luo Li did not like to chat, but in order to deepen the trust between the members and improve the level of the band, she still compromised.
Luo Li continued to chat with Emily and asked,"What kind of work are you mainly responsible for at the advertising company?”
Emily replied," I'm mainly in charge of art planning because I studied art in college. My job is very easy.”
Luo Li continued to chat." Actually, I really admire people who study or work in the arts. I also wanted to study the arts, but I gave up because of China's national conditions.”
"Don't you have any artistic work in China?" Emily asked, puzzled. I know quite a few artists from China.”
"Please give me an example."”
Emily thought for a moment and said," For example, JUN LIFANG is famous for his bald head works. His works are always very humorous. Secondly, Cai IGUOQIANG is famous for his fireworks works. My teacher once asked us to appreciate his works. There are also too many artists from China.”
Luo Li replied," The current China is undergoing earth-shattering changes. People's thinking is changing, but the feudal ideology of the older generation is deeply rooted and will take a lot of time to completely change. My father once said that those who study art are useless people. They won't be able to find a job in the future because they have experienced poverty and don't understand life. They are still afraid that they won't have food to eat one day.”
Edward interrupted," Yes, I've heard of what you said, but that seems to be a long time ago. I often watch documentaries about China on TV. I hope to go to Shanghai and Beijing in China in the future."”
Luo Li was very pleased with what Edward had said about China's XG, because many people of the previous generation in the UK still thought that XG belonged to the UK. Once, Luo Li was chatting with an old British man about XG. The old man said,"XG is not a bad place. After all, it was once ruled by Great Britain. Of course, it has a strong national strength.”
After hearing this, Luo Li cursed the old man a thousand times in her heart. What was national strength? XG was a part of China, how could it be called a country? Moreover, XG's current status as one of the wealthiest, most developed, and most advanced regions in the world was entirely due to the hard work of the XG people and the firm support of the mainland. What did it have to do with Country Y's colonization?
The ruler of all things could only mock himself. Only by being modest could he be surrounded by stars. There was definitely a problem with the fall of the United Kingdom from a former colonial power to the present. The key was that the British themselves had not recognized their own problems. On the contrary, they were pointing fingers at other countries all day long. When something happened, they would hide behind the United States and flatter them. Sometimes, Luo Li thought that if she did not have a good job in her country, she would not have come to suffer here.
However, even if he wanted to, life still had to continue. Since he was here, he would do as the romans did. Even if he had to lie to himself, he had to get his diploma back.
Luo Li was very satisfied with Edward's answer. Regardless of whether he was trying to curry favor with Luo Li, she took the opportunity to say,""You are very welcome to go to China. If I were in China, I would personally pick you up at the airport.”
"Maybe you'll arrange a few beautiful Chinese girls for me, right?" Edward joked.。”
Luo Li cursed in her heart,'Stop while you're ahead. You're so shameless.'”But on the surface, he still said hypocritically,"Of course, I'll arrange a bunch for you to choose from.”
Although the teacher said that he had to understand the needs of his employees, this guy's needs were a few beautiful Chinese girls. He couldn't possibly hold a blind date party for him, right? Of course, it was too easy for British people to go on blind dates in China. It would definitely be full. A lot of silly Chinese girls wanted to marry overseas and always thought that overseas was heaven. However, many people were abandoned not long after they got married. They had a playful attitude and an open heart, but you were so devoted and blamed the other party for being irresponsible. You could only blame yourself for being stupid. China was now so powerful, and good men were everywhere. They had to change their mindset of worshipping foreign things.
As they chatted, they finished their coffee. Luo Li said,""Let's go eat together, my treat.”
Edward waved his hand." No need. I still have to go to the bar with my girlfriend. You can go eat with Emily."”
Emily also declined, saying that she still had to go to the company, so they left the cafe.
Luo Li returned to the dormitory and sent Edward and Emily's contracts to her manager. She started to revise her homework. There were two months left before the exams. If she continued to play, she would have to go to a pheasant university or return to China if she did not pass the exams.
Just as he was about to read a book, his phone rang. He saw that someone was asking about a product on Taobao. He had been so busy that he had forgotten that he had a Taobao shop. During this period of time, he had not placed any orders. If there was no new product on the rankings the previous day, it would be late. It was already a miracle that someone would come to ask about it. After chatting for a while, the other party wanted to get some goods from Luo Li and sell them on WeChat. Other than luxury goods, he also wanted to sell some milk powder. After all, eating domestic milk powder was too worrying. The other party said that he had been doing a purchasing service before, but the senior who had received the goods had already returned to China, so he looked for Luo Li. Luo Li naturally agreed immediately. Who wouldn't earn money? She decided to go to the supermarket tomorrow and take some pictures of milk powder to sell.
Then, he started to read books, watch teaching videos, and memorize the definition. Sometimes, he could recite a sentence backwards, but he still didn't understand what it meant. However, in order to take the exam, he could only use China's exam-oriented education method. No foreigner could compare to China in this aspect.
When it came to education, the current education in China was criticized by some people. However, once they left the country, their views changed. Once, Lisa sent Luo Li a math assignment for help. It was just some elementary school addition, multiplication, and division. Luo Li asked,"Don't you know how to do this homework?”
"We never learned that," the other replied.”
The teacher had also said that the Chinese students were the best in the world in terms of mathematics.
Luo Li had participated in the Mathematical Olympiad training when she was in primary school. The teacher of the first class said to a group of innocent children,"Whoever wants to be the class monitor will stand up. The first person to stand up will be the one.”Luo Li thought of what her father had said about having courage, so she stood up. In the end, no one in the class stood up, so Luo Li naturally became the class monitor. In the first class, the teacher asked everyone a question."Auntie will give the candies to the children. If everyone gets three candies, there will be two more. If everyone gets four candies, there will be four less. How many candies do you have in total?”
Everyone raised their hands. When Luo Li heard the candy, she was craving for it. She choked and raised her hand as well. There were so many people anyway, so why would they call her? Who knew that the teacher would say," Very good. Our class monitor has raised his hand. Please answer."”
Little Luo Li stood up shakily and looked around. She cursed in her heart,""Bad guys are all bad guys. How can I not lift it if you lift it?”
Then, he stared at the teacher.
The teacher said gently,"Class monitor, please answer."”
Little Luo Li thought for a moment and said,"Teacher, what candy is it?"”Teacher: " The candy you usually eat.”
"Chocolate?" Little Luo Li asked again.”The teacher was stunned for a moment before answering,"It can be chocolate."”
Little Luo Li pulled down her pants and said,"Teacher, I don't like chocolate. Can I have milk flavor?"?”
The teacher said impatiently,"Anything is fine. Class monitor, please answer the question."”
Little Luo Li wiped her snot and looked as if she was unafraid of death. The teacher was shocked.
Little Luo Li wiped her snot on her pants and said righteously,""Mommy said that eating candy is not good for your teeth. You're a bad teacher!。”
The teacher was not old either. He slammed the table and said,"You're the bad student! Find an excuse if you can't answer the question!"
Little Luo Li burst into tears.
From then on, little Luo Li skipped classes all day and did not do her homework. However, she still kept proclaiming that she was the class monitor of the Mathematical Olympiad class.
The teacher did not choose a new class monitor for the sake of face, so he could only hire a student with good grades to help carry the books.
The funny thing was that every time the student with good grades saw little Luo Li, he would say loudly,"Hello, Class President!"
From that incident, Little Luo Li learned a lesson. Courage alone was not enough. Courage alone was a bear. Knowledge was also needed. With knowledge, one could be a hero with both wisdom and courage, not a bear.
The next day, she went to the supermarket early and walked around the shelves of maternal and infant products. There were only a few brands of milk powder, but the types of milk powder were different for different months. Luo Li thought about what would happen to those breastfed children. Did mothers have to evolve to improve their breast milk in different months? She didn't think much and immediately took pictures. As she took pictures, she wrote down the name of the milk powder, its characteristics, and the suitable age for the baby. She also took pictures of some baby products. There was even a vacuum packed fruit puree for the baby to eat. She thought about how she had grown up drinking rice porridge when she was young. Babies these days were really delicate. After a busy morning and an afternoon, they finally managed to put all kinds of milk powder on the shelves.
The days after that were like flowing water. Other than visiting Lin Zilan and her mother in the hospital a few times, she spent most of her time rushing between school and the dormitory. She often stayed up late to finish her thesis, woke up early to memorize knowledge, and occasionally cooked some rice with her mother. Most of the time, she ordered takeout.
He always felt that he didn't have enough time. When his eyes were blurry from memorizing, he would think about how wonderful it would be if he woke up from a dream and sat in a primary school classroom. He would definitely take the exam 100 times every time. It would be easy to catch up with the whole school's "sinking fish and falling geese". He would correct the mistakes in class until the teachers were ashamed of their inferiority. He could even write some popular songs from recent years and publish them himself. Xue Zhiqian, Li Ronghao, and Jay Chou, who were still sitting in class, would probably become his fans instead.
Unfortunately, this could only be wishful thinking. That day, while she was reading a book and looking up the dictionary word by word, she received a message from the Fantasy company's manager, Sonny. She said that there was a rich man holding a party in his mansion on the weekend and wanted to find a band to sing, so she asked Luo Li's band if they were willing to go.
After all, Fantasy was only a small company, so they probably took on these small resident performances. They could earn more than 1000 pounds (10000 yuan) for one night.
Luo Li flipped through the textbook and saw that there was still more than half of it left. There was only a month left before the exams. Luo Li, who cherished time like gold, reluctantly rejected the invitation and continued reading.
Wang Zhengguo, on the other hand, seemed to be as relaxed and relaxed as ever. He didn't care if he could get into Manchester University. Gao Yi was also as stubborn as Luo Li. However, Gao Yi would relax every weekend and play two games of League of Legends in the European server. He would go to Celestial Dynasty City to have a good meal, and then go to the bar to pick up girls at night. After calling Luo Li a few times and being rejected, he stopped calling her. As Lisa majored in art, her academic burden was not as heavy as Luo Li's. Other than studying, she would occasionally go shopping for luxury goods.
As for Edward and Emily, they had contacted Luo Li several times to ask if there were any performances, but they seemed to be unhappy that they did not receive any news. As the contract stipulated that they could not join other orchestras during the contract period, Edward found a job as a waiter in a bar. While working as a waiter, he got married to a Chinese girl. It was said that this girl was also studying at Manchester University. She could be considered a wealthy family, but her appearance was not considered a national beauty. After meeting this girl, Edward seemed to have completed a transformation. The cheap Primark clothes that he had been wearing before had turned into Gucci Armani luxury goods. Under the bombardment of sugar-coated bullets, he obediently became the partner of the Chinese girls. Once, Luo Li occasionally looked up and saw the two of them holding hands and taking a walk in the yard. Edward was wearing an expensive pure white suit, like a prince charming. Luo Li knew that love that was bought with money would eventually be burned away by money. The flames that burned out left a deep mark on her heart that had been crushed for years. However, Luo Li was not a busybody. She would sweep the snow in front of her own door and not care about the frost on the roof of others. Some people say that boys should be raised poor and girls should be raised rich. Shouldn't this saying change?
Two months of traveling and traveling had left a shadow on Shaohua. The WeChat friend who had bought from Luo Li had ordered a total of 400,000 yuan of goods in two months. Adding the scattered orders on Taobao, the monthly sales reached more than 800,000 yuan. Luo Li took a taxi to the discount village every Saturday to purchase. However, there was once a local tycoon who took a fancy to a pair of Landanze shoes that sold for 250,000 RMB. Luo Li immediately put down her book and took a taxi to the discount village to buy them back. She did her best to pack a few layers of boxes, wrap them with tape, and send them to another supermarket in China. With one order, she earned a year's salary for some workers in the country. Luo Li was so ecstatic that she couldn't sleep at night. She didn't understand why she had to study for a diploma when there were so many ways to make money. He couldn't think of an answer, but he didn't dare to let go. The unknown always made people afraid, but he was afraid of falling off a cliff if he tried.
Luo Li kept 300 pounds of the money she earned every month for her meals and transferred the rest to Wang Zhengguo. She always felt a little guilty when she owed someone money.
Luo Lizhi's albums were already generating income, but due to the unhappy cooperation and lack of marketing, she only earned a few thousand pounds a month. Her pirated music was circulating all over the internet, and the number of people who bought albums could be counted on one hand.
