The two of them arrived at the Fleeting Years Restaurant. Lin Zilan wasn't in the shop. Luo Li asked the cashier where her boss was. The little girl said that the boss didn't work on weekends. Luo Li sent a WeChat message to Lin Zilan,""Where are you?"
After a while, Lin Zilan replied," I'm in Tianchao City getting my goods. What's wrong?"”
"Is there something I need to talk to you about?" Luo Li replied.
Lin Zilan replied,"I'll be there in half an hour."
Luo Li and Gao Yi sat down together in the shop. The guitar was placed in the corner, and Luo Li took it over to play with it. Gao Yi started chatting with the cashier girl.
After about 40 minutes, Lin Zilan got out of a pink Land Rover SUV on the right side (in the UK, the driver's seat was on the right side). Luo Li saw her open the side door and struggle to carry a box into the shop. Luo Li walked up and said,""Let me do it." She said as she took the box.
Lin Zilan stopped walking and said,"No need, I can do it myself."
Luo Li ignored her and walked to the car. The car was filled with all kinds of boxes. Luo Li picked one up and walked into the shop. At the same time, she called Gao Yi to help.
Lin Zilan, who had returned after putting down the box, covered her face and smiled.""You guys…How can I be embarrassed? Put it down quickly."
Luo Li didn't reply. After moving one box, she moved the second box to the storage room behind the store.
After about ten minutes of hard work, they finally finished moving the boxes of all sizes.
Lin Zilan took out two bottles of iced Wanglaoji and handed them to Luo Li and Gao Yi.
Luo Li took Wang Laoji and put the jar on her face. She took out a napkin to wipe her sweat and took out some perfume to spray it on Gao Yi.
Luo Li asked Lin Zi Lan,"Why didn't you drive a truck to get the goods? You dirtied the car."
Lin Zilan said," I'm a girl. What's the point of driving a truck? Besides, my car is second-hand. It doesn't matter if it's dirty."“
Luo Li stood next to the air conditioner and fanned herself. Lin Zilan walked to Luo Li and asked,""Are you here to buy something?"
Luo Li said,"I wouldn't come to the temple for no reason. Of course I have something to look for you."
Lin Zilan said,"You should come more often in the future if you have nothing to do. Bring more of your classmates."
Luo Li nodded,"Sure, sure. I came to discuss something with you."
"What is it?" Lin Zilan asked.
"How's your electric guitar?" Luo Li asked.”
Lin Zilan: " It's alright. I know how to use electricity. What's wrong?"”
"We want to form a band and perform in the city center. We need a guitar player," said Luo Li.
"Do you want me to go?" No, no, I'm busy looking after the shop."
"You can go when you're not busy." Luo Li sighed.”
Lin Zilan thought for a moment and said," Let me think about it. Do you guys sing Chinese songs or English songs?"”
Luo Li said,"I'll sing both. I'll mainly translate Chinese songs into English. I want foreigners to understand Chinese songs."
Lin Zilan giggled and said,"Your ambition is quite great. If I go, I'll have to spend a lot of time rehearsing, right?"“
"Live rehearsal, you can play with the score."”
"If we don't rehearse, what if we make a mistake?" Lin Zilan asked.”
Luo Li said,"If you play the wrong one, you can play again."
"Then let me think about it."”
Luo Li said,"Okay, we'll leave first."
Lin Zilan said," You're leaving so soon? Help me move the goods. I'll treat you to a meal."
Luo Li said," No need. We still have to convince the keyboard player. Let's do it another day."”
Lin Zilan said,"Alright then, take care. I'll drive you."
Luo Li said,"No need. You should think about it carefully. You don't have to be a genius. If it's gold, it will shine, okay?"”
"Alright, I'll think about it." Lin Zilan smiled.
Luo Li and Gao Yi walked out of the shop and took out their phones to contact the American girl, Lisa. They made an appointment to eat at a Chinese restaurant.
As it was still early, Luo Li and Gao Yi slowly strolled to the restaurant. It was the Lai Fu Chuan restaurant that they had gone to last time. Coincidentally, the owner was in the restaurant this time. The two of them sat down and decided to wait for Lisa to come before ordering.
As it was still early, there were not many people in the shop. The boss said a few words at the front desk and walked over to Luo Li with a kettle. When he walked to the table, the boss poured tea for Luo Li and Gao Yi. As he poured, he said,"Hello, young men. Would you like to order?“
Luo Li said,"Let's wait. A friend is coming. You don't look like a waiter."
"If she doesn't look like a waitress, then what does she look like?" The boss chuckled.”
For some reason, Gao Yi suddenly said,"You're like the little pervert Zhou Botong who's known to be more handsome than Pan An, and a pear flower that can suppress a begonia!“
Luo Li slapped Gao Yi's head and said,"What are you moving?"
"It's fine, it's fine. Do you like Stephen?"”
"Yes, I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of this line," Gao Yi said.
The boss said," I'm the owner of this shop. My surname is Wu. Are you here for a holiday or are you here as a student?"”
"We came to Manchester University to study. We just arrived, Boss Wu," said Luo Li.
Gao Yi was absent-minded after being slapped. When he heard Boss Wu's name, he was puzzled and asked,"Why isn't there a boss? Aren't you the boss?”
The boss replied,"It's not a coal mine boss. I don't run a coal mine. It's the old version of Wu (Wu)."
Gao Yi said as if he was still in a dream,"Which shop doesn't have a boss?" There must be a boss."
Luo Li patted Gao Yi's head and said,"His surname is Wu, Koutian Wu!"
Gao Yi muttered to himself," Oh, Boss Wu. It's not a coal boss, but it's not like there's no boss. Anyway, there's a boss. It's Boss Wu."
Luo Li ignored him and said to Boss Wu,"This is the second time I've come to your restaurant today. I heard that your restaurant has been open for decades?”
Boss Wu said,"Yes, my grandfather passed it on to my father. I'm taking over now."”
"Not bad, not bad. So you were born in England?" You speak Chinese quite well."
Boss Wu said," Yes, I grew up in England. But my father sent me to study in a local Chinese school when I was young, so my Chinese is pretty good."
Gao Yi said,"If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were from China."
Boss Wu quickly explained," I'm from China. My father told me since I was young that no matter where I go, I can't forget that I have Chinese blood flowing in my veins.”
After Luo Li heard this sentence, her heroic spirit soared to the sky. She said in a righteous manner,"Well said, my heart is like a piece of magnetic needle stone. I won't rest until I point to the south! Boss Wu, I want to have a toast with you later.”
Boss Wu smiled and patted Luo Li's shoulder."Okay, come to my restaurant more often in the future. Students get a 20% discount."
"That's good. I have an American friend coming over later. Do you think they like Chinese food?"
Boss Wu said," Don't worry about that. My guests come from all over the world. Many of them are American and British. They love sweetsourchicken the most. There are also many who love eating meatball.
Gao Li was interested and said,"I heard my father say that Kung Pao Chicken is also loved by many foreigners."
Boss Wu said,"Yes, yes."
As they were talking, the door of the restaurant opened. Lisa changed her usual style of dressing and came in wearing a snow-white dress.
Luo Li stood up and waved at Lisa. Lisa walked over and Luo Li pulled out a chair for her.
"I like Chinese food very much. What are we having today?" Lisa asked.”
"We're waiting for you to order. Order whatever you want." Luo Li handed him the menu.
Lisa smiled happily and said,"This is great. I'm hungry."
"If you're hungry, then eat. In China, women often refuse to eat when they're hungry because they want to lose weight," said Luo Li.
Lisa laughed and said," We're Americans. We don't do that. If we're hungry, we eat."
After chatting with Lisa for a while, Luo Li went straight to the point.
"How's your piano playing?" Luo Li asked.”
Lisa said,"My level is eight. I tried to take the exam, but I was too busy with my studies.”
Luo Li was delighted." That's great. I want to form a band and perform in the city center. I need a keyboard player. Can you do it?"”
Lisa was ecstatic." I'm always waiting for a chance to show myself. I hope I can perform with you guys."
Luo Li continued,"This is Gao Yi. He knows how to play the drums and will be the drummer of our band. I have a friend who knows how to play the electric guitar and might join us. I can be the lead singer and wooden guitar player, but we still lack a bass player.“
Lisa said," Don't worry, I can contact the bass player. That's great. We can finally perform."
Luo Li didn't expect the Americans to be so straightforward. If she had known, she would have said it directly on Facebook or WeChat and even spent a meal.
After that, the waiter asked if they wanted to order wine. Luo Li was about to say no when Lisa said,"I want red wine."
The waiter looked at Luo Li, who nodded."A bottle of red wine."
After Li Sha ordered, she looked at Luo Li and asked,"How long have you been learning the guitar?"
Luo Li said,"Um, I started learning when I was 14 years old. It was a little late. At that time, I was chasing a girl to learn guitar." At this point, Luo Li smiled a little embarrassedly and continued,"Then I learned singing from my teacher. At first, I learned bel canto, then I learned pop singing and rock music. In my middle school and high school, I even taught myself how to compose. Now, I often write songs, but I'm not good at arranging music."
Lisa looked at Luo Li with a dazed gaze. After Luo Li finished speaking, Lisa praised," You're so cool. I always thought that China's education was very strict. I don't believe that you've studied music for so long."
Luo Li explained," In China, education is strict. But now that China is developing, the education system is also developing. They are paying more and more attention to the comprehensive training of students. I also wanted to continue to study music in university, but my parents didn't allow it. They think that studying music won't find a job, so China is still developing. Their thinking is still changing."
Lisa said,"Why do your parents think that you can't get a job by studying music? If you study music, you can be a singer in a management company, a chorus, a cultural entertainment company, a personal studio, a music commentator in a government department, a radio station editor, a music planner, a producer, a music magazine editor, or even a teacher. You can be engaged in sound design, recording, music production, etc. in radio, television, movies, animation, game systems, etc. There are too many."
Luo Li said,"I know all this. I told my parents, but they would say,'You only know how to say, who wants you?”
"Are they asking you who will hire you?" Lisa asked. You haven't even looked for a job yet, so why should you find out who will hire you?”
Luo Li didn't know what to say. She hadn't even seriously thought about the meaning of this sentence. Every time she heard this, she would turn around and leave. Luo Li could only explain,"They weren't asking me, they just wanted me to stop talking.”
Lisa said,"Why do Chinese parents have to mock their children? It's not good for them."
Luo Li explained," I know, but my parents are a little feudal. They don't understand the outside world. Besides, if I apply for a music major, they won't pay my tuition fees.”
Lisa said," Your parents in China are unbelievable. Our parents in America support their children no matter what."
Luo Li said," Not all Chinese parents are like this. Nowadays, young Chinese parents are becoming more and more open-minded. I will support my child like your parents in the future. By the way, are you studying music?”
" Yes," Lisa said." I studied the art of recording. I hope to become a music producer at a radio station in the future."
At this moment, the dishes were served, and the waiter served the three of them red wine.
Luo Li raised her glass and said,"Cheers to our future!"
Lisa and Gao Yi raised their glasses and said,"Cheers!"
Later, Luo Li learned from her conversation with Lisa that Lisa had come to England to study. Her boyfriend had broken up with her on the grounds that they were too far away, so she was very sad. Luo Li had no choice but to persuade her not to be sad. She would meet someone better.
After dinner, the three of them went to the KTV in Tianchao City to sing. They played crazily until 12 o'clock in the evening before returning home. Luo Li and Gao Yi took a taxi to send Lisa back to the apartment and then back to the dormitory.
After arriving home, Luo Li received Lin Zi Lan's reply: "I've thought it through. I agree. You have to share the profits from the performance with me!”
Luo Li replied with no problem, put down her phone, and went to sleep.
