Chapter 8 The Innocent Big Boy
Zhang Minyi wiped the tears from her eyes and said sincerely: "Yang Sheng, on behalf of the citizens, I want to thank you for writing this song to inspire everyone."
Yang Ye said modestly: "Recently I have seen many people lose hope in life, so I want to do something within my power. It's a pity that a song can't change anything."
Zhang Minyi shook her head and said: " Music is a spiritual force that can guide people forward in adversity. I hope to buy this song, broadcast it on Radio Hong Kong, and make it the theme song of "Under the Lion Rock""
Yang Ye said happily: "That's great, it's my honor."
Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "Then we can start talking about the price. How much does Yang Sheng want us to pay for your song?"
Yang Ye scratched his head and said with some confusion: "This... the market price I don’t understand either. This is my first time selling songs.”
Zhang Minyi said a little funny: “You are too naive. Why don’t you ask about the market price first? What if I lie to you? ?"
Yang Ye shook his head and said seriously: "You must be a conscientious TV person to produce a program like "Under the Lion Rock", you can't do this." The lick touched Zhang Minyi's heart, which made her feel happy. She smiled and said: "Since you said that I am a conscientious TV person, I won't cheat you. On behalf of the radio station, I will buy your song for two thousand yuan." , do you think it’s okay? This is the price that only Huang Zhan can get.”
Yang Ye did not bargain, pretending to be excited, rubbing his hands and saying, "That's such an honor. I wonder if Ms. Zhang are free after get off work? I would like to treat you to a casual meal to express my gratitude." < br>
Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "I just bought your song at a high price, and you treat me to dinner later. This is suspected of bribery."
Yang Ye waved his hands quickly, a little nervously. : "No...I don't mean that. I just feel a little excited that the songs I wrote are appreciated by others. If that's the case, then I won't invite you."
Zhang Minyi expressed her gratitude to this "enthusiastic" She liked the "outspoken" pretty boy quite a bit and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. Although I can't accept you inviting me to dinner, we can do it."
She saw that Yang Ye looked confused. After reacting, he found it even more interesting and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, we can make friends."
"Making friends? That would be great!" Yang Ye finally "reacted" with a bright face. He really looks like a sunny boy with clear eyes and no scheming.
Yang Ye is only twenty years old this year, and Zhang Minyi finds it interesting that he doesn't know how dangerous the world is. She asked: "I heard from Pan Sheng that you serialized novels in Ming Pao?"
Yang Ye scratched his head and continued to act stupid: "Actually, I just imitated Mr. Jin Yong in writing for fun. Pan Sheng thought I could imitate him well. It’s very similar, so he accepted my novel.”
“That’s great. He can write songs and novels. He’s such a talented person.”
The two chatted. After a few words, it was lunch time, so we went downstairs together. Yang Ye said, "I'm going to ride a bike. Where should we go to eat?"
Zhang Minyi shook her head and said, "We don't have enough time at noon, so just have a work meal at a nearby food stall."
"Okay then!" Yang Ye didn't insist either.
The two of them left the radio station building and ordered roast goose rice for two guests at the food stall. They ate and chatted casually.
When I heard that Yang Ye was born in Kowloon Walled City, Zhang Minyi couldn't help being shocked.
That place... was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and neither black nor white dared to enter easily. This little handsome boy actually grew up in that kind of place?
"My grandparents left a building, and I lived by collecting rent. When I was bored, I read and played the piano. In fact, the people living in the walled city were poor people at the bottom. Everyone just wanted to beg for food. There were no rumors from the outside world. So scary." Yang Ye explained.
Zhang Minyi thought Yang Ye was very innocent at first and was willing to make friends with him.
Hearing that Yang Ye was born in Kowloon Walled City, he was somewhat repelled.
But seeing Yang Ye tell the truth frankly and not hiding anything, he felt a little hesitant.
Yang Ye didn't seem to notice Zhang Minyi's reaction and told some interesting stories. After the two of them finished eating, Yang Ye sent Zhang Minyi back to the company and picked up the car by himself.
After leaving the food stall, Yang Ye saw a newsstand on the roadside. Thinking that the novel had been published and he hadn't read it yet, he walked over and said, "Uncle, get a copy of Ming Pao."
Newspapers Ting's uncle raised his eyebrows: "Sold out!"
"Ah, sold out?"
"Yes, the novels serialized in Mingpao these days are so exciting that they are not enough to sell. I I need to sell more goods tomorrow."
"What novel is so good?" Yang Ye asked knowingly.
""The Iron-Blooded Prodigy" was written by a person named Yang Ye. I also read it, and I was really optimistic about it. Many people said that this was due to the decline in sales of "Ming Pao", and Jin Yong was unable to cope with it, but he had announced that he would cease writing last year, which is not good I broke my promise and had to change my pen name to cover my ears."
"Well, I have to buy a copy tomorrow."
Yang Ye left the newsstand and saw Zhang Minyi smiling. Looking at herself, she said with some embarrassment: "Why are you looking at me?"
Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "It seems that your novel is very popular. I will buy a copy and read it tomorrow."
< br>……
Zhao Yazhi's flights changed from short-haul to long-haul, and she started flying from Hong Kong to Massachusetts. Although her salary increased, long-distance flights were also more tiring.
She dragged her tired body out of the airport. Night had fallen. She learned the lesson from being harassed by the Young and Dangerous boys last time and took a taxi. The traffic at night was very congested, and the driver habitually turned on the radio.
“This is FM94.8-96.9Mhz, the second radio station in Hong Kong, and I am the anchor Xianxian. Because of the stock market crash some time ago, Hong Kong has been shrouded in a sad atmosphere recently. In order to encourage everyone, a young singer named Yang Ye specially composed a song "Under the Lion Rock" to encourage citizens to swim against the current and face life bravely. Let us enjoy this song together. "
When the driver heard this, he muttered: "Those people rush to the street and use their wealth to speculate in stocks. It would be better if they lose to death. What an encouragement!"
He wanted to curse a few more words, but the low and soothing music started playing, and a clear voice sang: "There is joy in life, and there are often tears. When we met under the Lion Rock, we finally laughed more than "Sad."
Hearing the lyrics, the driver couldn't help but nodded and said, "There is some truth to the lyrics."
He listened quietly and was quickly attracted by this song. When the song is brought in, it no longer beeps.
When Zhao Yazhi heard this song, he couldn’t help but nod secretly. He thought it sounded very good and the lyrics were also very meaningful.
It’s just this voice...why is it so familiar?
She always felt like she had heard it somewhere!
"Master, what's the name of this singer?"
"I don't remember it, pretty girl. It seems her surname is Yang."
At this time, the anchor The voice rang again: "This song is to call on everyone to be strong in adversity and to strive hard. As long as you work hard, you will definitely regain hope in life. I heard that this is Yang Ye's debut. I hope that he I will be able to bring you more excellent works in the future.”
“Yang Ye?”
Hearing this name, Zhao Yazhi's heart skipped a beat, "It can't be that Young and Dangerous guy, right?"
Zhao Yazhi's memory of what happened that day was too deep.
The young and Dangerous boy named Yang Ye hugged her, washed and bandaged her feet, and bought her a pair of white flat shoes and put them on for her with his own hands.
When she was twenty years old, she had never been so close to a boy.
When she thought about this, her toes felt itchy.
A good girl like her who followed her parents' arrangements and grew up in a greenhouse. There is always a rebellious mentality in girls, and they are especially attracted to bad boys.
Yang Ye is a boy who is very arrogant when fighting, but he is also very gentle when he treats her. Quite a bit like having a tiger in my heart and sniffing the roses.
Ignorant girls who have not been beaten up by society are especially susceptible to this trick.
He can fight against the whole world, but he leaves his last touch of tenderness to me. It’s so romantic!
Nima, I really don’t know how their brains grow.
Zhao Yazhi tilted her head, thinking about the scene that day, and murmured: "Those people clearly called him Mr. Yang, but he told me that he was not Young and Dangerous! Could it be that he really was not?"
Zhao Yazhi returned home. Her mother had already cooked and her father was sitting at the table reading the newspaper.
"Dad, Mommy, Zhenzhen, I'm back!"
"Fourth sister, you're back, I'm almost starving to death."
"Hungry Just eat it.”
"Mommy said we have to wait until you come back before eating."
Zhao Yazhi's family is fairly well off. Her father, Zhao Yangming, is a businessman, and her mother is a housewife.
She has five brothers and sisters, one brother and two sisters. Now they have all married and moved out. Only she and her sister Zhao Yazhen still live at home.
The sisters laid out the meal, and Zhao Yazhen said: "Dad, stop looking, it's time to eat."
Zhao Yangming said without raising his head: "I will finish reading in one minute. ”
Zhao Yazhi saw several Mingbao newspapers placed in front of her father and asked: "Daddy, what are you reading so fascinatedly?"
"Reading novels, I saved them for several days, and read them together. , otherwise it will not be enough to read.”
“What novel is so good?”
“The Iron-Blooded Prodigy” was written by a man named Yang Ye.”
Zhao. Yazhi was stunned, why is it Yang Ye again?
