“Okay.” Lu Ke took the glass. “Mom, rest early. I’ll sleep after training.”
“I heard that the academy found you a new instructor?” Mrs. Lu asked. “And she’s from the countryside. Will it really work?”
“Mom, it’s the teacher who tutored me before. She was highly respected in the early years. ”
“You said so yourself that it’s been a few years.” Mrs. Lu was worried. “Piano is also an art that keeps up with the times. If she hasn’t caught up with the times, it might have the opposite effect on you. Son, why don’t your father and I personally go look for Fan Yushu and ask him to tutor you again? He’s just tutoring a few students. One more won’t hurt. It’s not like he’ll…”
Lu Ke interrupted her, “Mom, I’ve already decided on this matter. I’ll be tutored by Mrs. Lin. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Mrs. Lu wanted to say something else, but Lu Ke didn’t want to discuss it anymore.
She had no choice but to walk out.
Seeing Mr. Lu sitting on the sofa, she couldn’t help but ask, “Should we look for Fan Yushu again?”
“Didn’t you hear what Lu Ke said? He doesn’t want anyone else.” Mr. Lu put down the newspaper. “Don’t waste your effort.”
“If Fan Yushu wants a higher tuition fee or something, it’s not like our Lu family can’t afford it. Besides, we’re also a prestigious family in Jingdu City.
What other requests does he have that we can’t satisfy?”
Mr. Lu looked at her and said, “Don’t you understand? Fan Yushu’s own son is also participating in the competition. He doesn’t want to make a strong opponent for his son, so he naturally won’t teach Lu Ke. Everyone knows what’s going on, so why should we say anything else? Do you think your son doesn’t care about his reputation?”
Mrs. Lu paused for a while before saying, “But isn’t Lin Shuhui..
“Lu Ke has already grown up. He can even be someone else’s teacher now. How can he not understand these principles? He has his own decisions and thoughts. Don’t disturb him.”
After Lin Shuhui got Qiao Weiyang’s medicine, she called Lu Ke.
The two of them arranged to meet in the teahouse where they practiced the piano.
Lin Shuhui came early, so she entered the teahouse first and ordered a pot of Pu’er. She sat on the balcony and admired the scenery.
20 years had passed quickly. She had been away from Jingdu City for so many years.
Now that she was back again, she naturally felt emotional.
Her phone rang. She glanced at it and picked it up. Her tone was gentle. “Wangzhi.”
“Mrs. Lin!” Xu Wangzhi’s voice sounded, and he was energetic. “I’m sorry for not visiting you since you came back this time. I’ve only been able to send you a few messages on WeChat.”
“I know you’re filming a variety show and that it’s usually very difficult for you to make time. It doesn’t matter. Go ahead with your work.”
Lin Shuhui did not know much about the entertainment industry. Although Qiao Weiyang was in the entertainment industry, it was not a world she could touch.
She only knew that Xu Wangzhi was an artiste, and the variety show he was currently filming was also related to the piano. Xu Wangzhi was about to participate in the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, and he was competing in the amateur category.
However, this did not stop Xu Wangzhi from being an outstanding student of the music academy, so the principal valued his participation.
“By the way, Mrs. Lin, I heard that Lil Yang Yang came back with you this time, right?” Xu Wangzhi asked.
“Yes, she’s also in Jingdu City now.”
“I happen to have a guest act and need the help of a friend. If Lil Yang Yang is free, can I invite her?”
Lin Shuhui thought for a moment and said, “That’s good. I’ll communicate with her and see if she has time.
“Then let’s do it like that for the time being. Let me know when you’re sure. It’ll be easier for me to report it.”
“Okay.”
After Xu Wangzhi hung up the phone, his manager said helplessly, “Little Master, what are you doing? Didn’t they suggest that the guest should be someone more famous?”
“You don’t understand,” Xu Wangzhi said. He wanted to repay Lin Shuhui for coming to help him this time.
However, in the past, apart from tuition fees, Lin Shuhui would not even accept a flower as a gift. No matter what it was, she would definitely not accept it.
He might as well ask her goddaughter to appear on the show.
However, Xu Wangzhi knew very little about Lin Shuhui’s goddaughter. All these years, he had only listened to the academy’s arrangements and learned the piano from Fan Yushu, so he knew even less about Lin Shuhui.
However, now that Fan Yushu was no longer taking him in, he had a chance to learn from Lin Shuhui again and return the favor.
The manager said, “What don’t I know? Although you’re not a very popular artiste now, you still have a reputation to maintain. Your future is promising. You’ve only debuted for two years, but you’re already famous and will have better prospects in the future. Don’t you think it’s a pity to give this opportunity to someone you don’t know? I can arrange for the company to get a more popular artiste to help you so that you can stay for two more episodes.” “No need. I’ve already decided to ask the person I’ve chosen,” Xu Wangzhi said.
“Little Master…” The manager planned to persuade him again.
Xu Wangzhi’s face turned cold, then he revealed a very bright smile. “I told you not to call me Little Master! Can’t you call me by my name?”
“But Old Master Xu…”
“Don’t mention my grandfather! And don’t mention my father either!” Xu Wangzhi immediately interrupted him. “I came to work on my own. I don’t want to rely on their relationship to survive in the industry, okay?”
The manager had no choice but to change the topic and say, “Then what’s the name of Teacher Lin’s goddaughter? What talents does she have and what can she do? Tell me so that I can make arrangements.”
“I don’t know for the time being. Anyway, you can make the arrangements first. By the way, how much is the production team paying the main leads this time?”
“100,000,” the manager said.
“Then give Lil Yang Yang 200,000 yuan when the time comes. The other 100,000 yuan will be paid from my card.” This time, Lin Shuhui had certainly spent a lot of money to come from the countryside. Xu Wangzhi knew that she would definitely not accept the money.
However, if he gave the money to Lil Yang Yang as compensation for appearing on the TV show, the mother and daughter would definitely accept it.
“Let me remind you that the viewership ratings for this show have been really good recently. The audience is very enthusiastic. In the face of the elimination system, everyone wants to stay. If you don’t take it seriously, you’ll easily be eliminated.”
“I’m taking it very seriously. Who says I’m not?” Xu Wangzhi asked. The manager sighed. “Alright. I’ll make the arrangements first.”
He really couldn’t figure out why Xu Wangzhi had to do this..
