Chapter 431 What a Pity

While Wei Yuru and her friends were signing autographs for these Japanese fans, the fans also asked about the other members of Qingyinfang.

These fans actually didn't know what was going on with Wei Yuru and her friends. They just saw Qingyinfang on the promotion of today's concert, so they came over. They thought all the members of Qingyinfang were here.

Wei Yuru smiled and explained, "We are not just Qingyinfang, we also belong to China's Central National Orchestra. There is a performance here, so we came. As for the other members, they are from the Piano Youth Orchestra and didn't come this time."

"I know Yu Jia is from the Piano Youth Orchestra, but I thought she had completely left the Piano Youth. It seems that this time, we won't be able to see you Qingyinfang perform together." The fan said regretfully.

"Does Qingyinfang plan to come to Los Angeles?" another fan asked.

Wei Yuru shook her head, "I don't know about this for now, maybe there will be a chance later."

"I really hope you can come to Los Angeles, you will definitely be welcomed here. I can't go back to Neon for a while, and I can't go to see your performances. If you can come to Los Angeles, I can support you here."

"Thank you for your support."

Wei Yuru smiled and bowed her head to sign autographs for others.

As for Qingyinfang coming to Los Angeles, she knew that it would not happen for a while.

They are developing very smoothly in Neon. At this stage, what they have to do is to consolidate the market in Neon and not rush to advance.

After the market in Neon is consolidated, they will enter other Asian countries and regions next.

These plans were all told to her by Zhou Yan before.

In fact, Wei Yuru herself didn't think too much about it. She was still quite satisfied with the current situation. Although she was developing in Neon, she could occasionally return to China to reunite with her family.

If they want to enter the European and American markets, it may not be so easy to go home.

After signing autographs for the fans, Wei Yuru took a few girls into the theater. They had to go in early to prepare for the performance in the evening.

On the way to the backstage, Zhu Lanxi smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhou came to Los Angeles to hold a concert. Every time there was a large group of people waiting outside the concert hall, they all wanted to see him."

"Yes, it's true." Wei Yuru nodded, "In addition to the fans, there were also many media reporters."

"I didn't see any reporters today."

"There must be reporters today, but they won't come so early. I guess we can see them in the evening."

"When will we have a concert in the United States like Mr. Zhou?"

"Haha, let's not think too far ahead. Let's sell out the tickets first."

"Didn't you say that today's tickets are almost sold out?"

"More than 80% of the tickets should be sold."

"It doesn't matter. The next goal is 90%."

Hearing the chattering of several sisters, Wei Yuru kept laughing and didn't speak. She felt in her heart that it was really good to be young. She was only a few years older than them, but she didn't have their enterprising spirit.

When she was about 20 years old, she was just like these sisters, free from worries, and she just wanted to have more performances every day.

…

Zhou Yan finally participated in the Sun Yat-sen Birthday Symphony Competition. Today, he recorded "My Heart Will Go On" for Celine Dion. The process was very smooth and there was no delay at all.

During this period, Celine Dion had a new experience with "My Heart Will Go On", and her performance was even better than the last time in Canada.

Zhou Yan felt that Celine Dion had no problem with the first recording when she entered the studio, but in order to keep improving, he still recorded Celine Dion many times.

It was not until Celine Dion's condition began to decline that he stopped, and it was only half a day later.

The Sun Yat-sen Birthday Symphony Competition was held in the Yanjing Concert Hall, not far from the studio.

The Yanjing Concert Hall was not big to begin with, and could only accommodate a few hundred people, so the scale of this competition was not large.

Moreover, more than half of the people in the hall with hundreds of people were not from the music industry.

This competition is more political than musical. Many of the people who came to the scene today are cadres and their families, and many of them are known to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan just entered the hall and heard someone calling him.

"Third brother!"

Zhou Yan turned his head and saw a fat young man walking over.

"Oh, you are Mr. Shen." Zhou Yan recognized him.

This Mr. Shen was none other than the person who had competed with him for the warehouse of the electronics factory. He was the nephew of Director Zhao of the Forestry Bureau. When he knew Zhou Yan's identity, he took the initiative to withdraw from the competition.

Seeing that Zhou Yan still remembered him, Shen Siyuan said happily, "Third brother, you are embarrassing me. How can I be worthy of the title of Mr. Shen in front of you? You can call me Xiao Shen or Siyuan. Before I came here today, I was wondering if you would be here, and I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

"Do you like to listen to symphonies?"

Shen Siyuan touched his head and smiled, "I don't have much artistic talent. I usually just listen to pop songs. I really haven't been exposed to symphonies. I came here today because I knew that many leaders were here, so I came to see if I could make some connections."

He was quite honest and didn't say anything nonsense.

In fact, it wasn't that Shen Siyuan wanted to be honest, but he knew that Zhou Yan was a professional. If he insisted that he usually listened to symphonies, he would probably be exposed after a few words with Zhou Yan.

Since you can't pretend, you might as well be honest, and you can gain some impression points in front of Zhou Yan.

"Now that you're here, you can listen to it, and maybe you'll fall in love with it."

"Although I don't understand it, I must be very religious when it comes to art." Shen Siyuan smiled and asked Zhou Yan, "Third brother, do you have any works to be exhibited today?"

Zhou Yan shook his head, "I don't know that. You have to ask the jury. All the works on display today are award-winning."

"I believe that your work, Third Brother, will definitely win an award..."

Just as Shen Siyuan finished speaking, someone not far away called Zhou Yan, "Xiao Yan."

The two of them turned to look at the speaker. Before Zhou Yan could speak, Shen Siyuan greeted him with a smile on his face, "Aunt Shu, Aunt Li, hello."

Li Xianglan originally only recognized Zhou Yan. When the person next to Zhou Yan called her Aunt Li, she looked at the person carefully and then remembered who the other person was, "Oh, you are Director Zhao's nephew."

She only remembered that the other person was Director Zhao's nephew, and she had met him twice before. As for his specific name, she couldn't remember it.

Next to her, Shu Yuanxia also looked at Shen Siyuan. Her memory was worse than that of Li Xianglan, and she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

Even after hearing Li Xianglan say that he was Director Zhao's nephew, Shu Yuanxia still couldn't remember. There were too many officials in Yanjing. The director grabbed a lot of them, and there were quite a few people named Zhao. Who knew which Director Zhao Li Xianglan was talking about? .

"Yes, yes, auntie, just call me Xiao Shen."

Li Xianglan nodded, then turned to Zhou Yan with a smile on his face, "I was chatting with your Aunt Shu on the way. You must be here today. I guessed it right."

"I happen to be in Yanjing, so I'll come over and take a look."

Li Xianglan is Huo Siqi's mother. The Huo family and the Zhou family are family friends and have always had a good relationship. Although Zhou Yan and Li Xianglan have not met several times, Li Xianglan is very enthusiastic every time they meet.

Zhou Yan had a very good impression of Aunt Li.

As for Aunt Shu next to him, Zhou Yan had never seen her before, but she looked at him strangely, which made Zhou Yan a little confused.

Li Xianglan then remembered that Zhou Yan and Shu Yuanxia didn't know each other, so she introduced with a smile, "This is your Aunt Shu, the daughter of your Grandpa Shu Jianghuai Shu."

Zhou Yan knew when she said she wanted to stay in Jianghuai.

Shu Jianghuai was an old subordinate of Zhou Yan's grandfather Zhou Minnong. I heard that Shu Jianghuai's daughter was married to the son of the Minister of War.

That being said...

Zhou Yan suddenly realized why Aunt Shu looked at him strangely.

For a while, the family always wanted to arrange blind dates for him. One of them was the granddaughter of Minister Zhan, the granddaughter of Shu Jianghuai, and the daughter of Aunt Shu.

What Zhou Yan didn't know was that it was Shu Yuanxia who initiated the blind date at that time.

After watching Zhou Yan's performance that time, Shu Yuanxia recognized him as her son-in-law, but it didn't work out. Shu Yuanxia felt regretful for a long time, after all, she couldn't find such a good son-in-law even if she wanted to.

"Aunt Shu." Zhou Yan greeted politely.

Shu Yuanxia smiled and said, "I have met you before, but I was in the audience and you were on the stage. Are you still on stage today?"

"Today, just like you, aunties, I am also an audience in the audience."

"That's a pity. I really wanted to see you perform on stage. The last performance left a deep impression on me. What have you been busy with recently? I haven't heard any news about your performance."

Li Xianglan smiled and said, "Yuanxia, ​​you are lagging behind in the news. It's not that Xiaoyan has not performed, but his recent performances are all abroad. Now he is developing very well abroad."

"If we want to develop abroad, we must also develop at home. We can't favor one over the other. When you have a performance in Yanjing next time, remember to tell me and I will definitely go and support you."

"Oh, you're still cheering. You want to ask Xiaoyan for tickets? It's not easy to buy tickets for his concerts."

"Haha, Xiaoyan, call me auntie. It's not too much for me to ask for a ticket."

Zhou Yan said quickly, "Not too much, not too much. I will definitely keep your tickets for the next time I perform in Yanjing."

"There's really been a show recently."

"Not recently, but there should be some next spring."

"It's still a long wait."

Li Xianglan smiled and said, "Just wait, it's better than nothing."

"Yeah, that's right." Shu Yuanxia nodded, "I'll note this down. If I don't receive the ticket by then, Auntie will be unhappy."

"Don't worry, auntie. Just tell me how many tickets you want when the time comes, and I will arrange them all for you."

"That's good."

…

The few of them chatted for a while, and more and more people entered the hall. They were standing in the aisle, which was a bit disruptive to the passage of others. Li Xianglan took Shu Yuanxia, ​​said hello to Zhou Yan, and went to find their seats.

Shen Siyuan wanted to drag Zhou Yan to chat for a while, but there was no reason, and he could also see that Zhou Yan didn't want to talk to him, so he had no choice but to give up.

After Shu Yuanxia and Li Xianglan found their seats, Shu Yuanxia looked back at Zhou Yan's direction, and then couldn't help but said, "Zhou Yan, the more I look at this kid, the more I like him. It's a pity that he doesn't have the same skills as our Xiaoqin." Look at each other, otherwise, he would be my son-in-law now. "

Li Xianglan smiled and said, "You were too hasty at the time. Xiaoqin was still in school, so you were busy dating her."

"There's no need to rush. Good boys are robbed early. If you strike a little later, you'll have to pick up what others have left."

Li Xianglan curled her lips, "Times have changed. Children are getting married later and later now. It is normal to get married after 30, not to mention after 25. The granddaughter of the old Hu family is 31 this year, but she is still not married. And the second grandson of the old Xie family is also 30 years old."

"I don't object to getting married at 30, but it's not okay to find a partner after 30. The first 30 years are the prime of a person's life. If you don't find a partner at this time, and wait until you are 30 to find one, can you still find a good one?" Shu Yuanxia rolled her eyes and asked, "Is Xiaoyan still married?"

"Of course not. If he gets married, would your family not receive an invitation?"

"That's right." Shu Yuanxia nodded.

Her father Shu Jianghuai used to be a subordinate of Zhou Minnong. Although the two families have not had much contact in recent years, they still exchange gifts. When their eldest grandson Zhou Yu got married, he sent an invitation to the Shu family.

If Zhou Yan gets married, he will definitely send an invitation to their family.

"Among the children of this generation of the Zhou family, only Zhou Yu is married, and the others are not." Li Xianglan said.

Shu Yuanxia rolled her eyes, "Xianglan, do you think it is possible for me to let Qinqin and Zhou Yan contact more now?"

Li Xianglan felt that this matter was not very reliable, but seeing that Shu Yuanxia was very enthusiastic, she did not want to pour cold water on it: "In theory, Qinqin and Zhou Yan are not married, so there is definitely a possibility. But your Qinqin has a lot of ideas, so you should ask her what she thinks. It's useless for you to worry too much."

Speaking of her own daughter, Shu Yuanxia sighed, "This girl is indeed very opinionated, which is originally a good thing, but she is too opinionated. Her father and I are very She doesn't want to listen to anything. "

Li Xianglan said with a smile, "You are just ungrateful. Qinqin is not only content, but also doesn't let you worry."

"Other things really don't worry us, but this marriage..."

"Qinqin is only 24 years old, you are worrying too early."

"If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. If you don't worry about it when you are 24, it will be too late in a few years."

...

Today, many people Zhou Yan knew came to the scene. He sat in his seat for less than half an hour and met seven or eight people who greeted him.

Some were friends in the industry, and some were old friends.

Guo Wenjing also came and sat in Zhou Yan's row, only a few seats away from him. (End of this chapter)
