Ordinary Road 2010

"You only see that one person on the stage who becomes famous and admired by thousands of people, but what you don't see is how many people under the stage are unknown and unknown all their lives."

"One will succeed and ten will die, this has always been the case in this business."

"Xiaowei, do you think I'm stopping you from letting you have flowers all the way?"

"I don't want you to suffer this, and I don't want you to repeat my mistakes!"

Although Gu Caiwei knew that her mother had learned Yue opera when she was young, and she didn't go on in the end, it was the first time she heard her comment on this past.

There was a great shock in her heart, and she was speechless for a while.

Lin Yi felt that Ms. Gu Changge's story of "Ten Years of Hard Work and Difficulty on Stage" was very emotional, and it should be from his heart. However, his emotion was far less than that of Gu Caiwei, so he could still answer as usual:

"Aunt Gu, you said just now that one will be successful and ten thousand bones will be dead. I don't think the original intention of this sentence is to describe Liyuanxing?"

"To put it bluntly, most people are doomed to be mediocre. It is always only a lucky few who can become famous and rise to the top. It is the same in any profession."

"You have walked this road, so you know it is not easy to walk. You have not traveled other roads, how can you be sure that it is a smooth road?"

"There is no easy way in the world."

"You don't let Gu Caiwei pursue the career she wants. Whether it's to let her study abroad or directly enter a higher school, what do you plan to let her study and what will she do in the future?"

Ms. Gu Changge was unmoved: "I will let her live the best life."

"I believe."

Lin Yi shook his head: "Under your care, Gu Caiwei has never worried about life, but I can see that you once loved the career of singing, so you must understand that the best life is not just about food and clothing. How would you choose at her age?"

"Am I at this age..."

Ms. Gu Changge has not recalled for a long time, the self who was obsessed with singing, but it only took a moment for the optimistic, determined, and energetic girl figure to resurface in her mind, reminding her that she has never forgotten .

But it only stayed for a moment, and she returned to the reality: "Xiaowei is not me, this is not the same thing."

Lin nodded: "Look, you are also aware of it."

"In the final analysis, is this Gu Caiwei's own decision, or do you think that all her persistence in disobeying you is just a little rebellion in adolescence?"

This time Gu Changge didn't answer right away, Lin Yi went on to say:

"Aunt Gu, let me be more straightforward. Of course I am very willing and hope to get your permission to take care of her for the rest of my life just like you."

"But after giving up your career and focusing on being a virtuous wife, you have also gone through this road. Do you think it is easy to go?"

These words finally made Gu Changge's expression suddenly change.

Lin Yi didn't speak rudely on impulse, it was because Ms. Gu Changge was too stubborn, if she didn't say something harsh, she might not be able to shake her will.

This time the effect should have been achieved, even Gu Caiwei looked over in surprise, and Ms. Gu Changge's face was even more ugly and she didn't say a word.

I don't know if there is too much force.

Ms. Gu Changge was indeed furious for a moment, but she quickly controlled it.

She is not the kind of woman who is dominated by emotions, not to mention that she did something unseemly because of irrationality not long ago.

Calm down and think about it, Lin Yi's words may not be unreasonable.

I am so not optimistic about Peng Yuchen's planning of the so-called "acting career" for Xiaowei. How much is it out of distrust of her daughter, and how much is it because of my failure when I was young?

Chapter 147 The Shadow in Your Eyes

In fact, just as Lin Yi believed a long time ago, the mother cannot win over her daughter.In the many confrontations in the past two months, Ms. Gu Changge has long found that she has softened her heart many times.

Today, she finally had to admit that she was shaken.

However, convincing himself that this matter was definitely not due to Lin Yi's rhetoric, and he should not be allowed to take the credit.

and……

She turned to her daughter and said calmly, "You really talk about everything."

Gu Caiwei thought that her mother was blaming her for disclosing the privacy of the family, so she faltered and said, "Ah, I... I... I didn't seem to say anything."

This is really a bit of a mistake to blame Gu Caiwei, Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei did not talk much about their respective families, but Gu Caiwei still remembered that she talked about her parents' divorce, thinking that Lin Yi guessed it because of this.

Ms. Gu Changge actually didn't mind that much. It was a fact that she was divorced, and she was not afraid of being told.

These years, she was alone with Xiaowei in Lin'an, and she had heard a lot of rumors with her own ears, and there would only be more discussions behind her back. If she is not mentally strong, she cannot survive alone.

But her attitude is still indifferent: "Lin Yi, I still say the same thing, we don't need you to intervene in our family affairs, if there is nothing else, I will not keep you today."

This is an expulsion order.

Lin Yi has been observing Ms. Gu Changge's reaction since just now, this time without waiting for Gu Caiwei to protest, he has already responded first:

"Okay, goodbye, Aunt Gu."

Gu Caiwei had no choice but to send Lin Yi out of the door, and asked sullenly in the elevator: "What should I do, Lin Yi? Mom still refused to agree and kicked you out too."

Lin shared her discovery with her: "On the contrary, I think your mother's attitude has loosened up. If you go back and talk about it, her attitude should change."

Gu Caiwei was confused: "Where is it loose? I didn't see it."

Lin Yi didn't explain much.

Although the skill of observing words and expressions is also about talent, it is mainly a matter of proficiency. Most people will naturally master it after experiencing severe beatings in society.

"Really?" Gu Caiwei was a little surprised.

"Eight and nine are not far from ten."

After she sent Lin Yi away, she ran home in a hurry, and gave her mother a big hug when she entered the door.

"Why, what did you whisper at the door again?" Ms. Gu Changge was well aware of their little tricks, and she just turned a blind eye.

"Mom, Lin Yi said that you are ready to promise me, is it true?"

That guy is surprisingly mature.

I have worked so hard to help Xiaowei, and seeing her daughter's appearance, I can't help but give him the credit in the end.

She answered irrelevantly: "Xiaowei, you can't be so straightforward in the future."

"Why?"

Ms. Gu Changge sighed: "I'm really worried that you will be cheated by him in the future."

"Oh, Lin Yi won't lie to me. Mom, if you don't believe him, you must believe me. How can I be so easy to deceive?"

"You can't be fooled? Didn't you say that he has a relative? You can't tell if others are joking?"

She wasn't complaining, just teasing.

Gu Caiwei also looked very angry, and said viciously: "That is to say, this guy Lin Yi always likes to tease me, next time mom, you will help me teach him a lesson."

Gu Changge naturally wouldn't take it seriously: "When I really teach him a lesson, you will stand up and protect him again."

"would not!"

This made Gu Caiwei blush, she knew it would probably be like this, so she changed the subject: "Oh, mom, you haven't said whether you want to promise me or not."

She played [-]% of her coquettish skills: "Just promise me, promise me, okay mom?"

"Stop, stop, if you shake my arm again, you will dislocate it."

Gu Changge stopped his daughter's malicious behavior of showing cuteness, and his face turned serious: "Xiaowei, have you really thought about it? Once you choose this path, it means that I don't want you to suffer when you were young. Now you Might have to try them all."

Gu Caiwei also nodded earnestly: "Mom, I'm not afraid of suffering. I've already made up my mind, I can't go on like this anymore, I will do my best this time."

"Well, I want to ask you one more question. No one has succeeded in the path you want to take. Are you really ready to fail?"

"Mom, I am not afraid of failure, because with you and Lin Yi, you gave me the courage to pursue my dreams. The most important and most reassuring thing for me is that I know that no matter what, you two will never leave I'm going, that's enough."

Gu Changge was pleased with his daughter's growth, but also felt complicated by the fact that there was another person juxtaposed with him at this moment. In the end, he just let out a long sigh.

"Mom, although I didn't insist on learning opera when I was young, I also want to use another way to realize your dream on stage."

These words touched a certain string in Gu Changge's heart.

Gu Changge believes that he only lived two things in his life in the past few years.

The first one was singing, which failed.

The second was the marriage with Zhou Zecheng, which failed again.

Now that she looked at this face that was a little more beautiful than when she was younger, she knew that she would never allow the third thing to fail again.

At this moment, the figure of the young girl recalled by Lin Yi not long ago reappeared in her mind, and then gradually overlapped with the daughter in front of her.

There is a shadow of my past in Xiaowei's eyes.

This discovery filled her with emotion, and she finally nodded.

Ms. Gu Changge knew that Xiaowei might face far more difficulties than what she just mentioned, but she was not the kind of person who couldn't move because of looking forward and backward.

Regardless, she swore to protect her daughter.

……

The next day was Monday, Gu Caiwei happily ran into the classroom early in the morning, and went straight to the window seat in the back: "Lin Yi, you are so smart."

Lin had expected it a long time ago, but he didn't expect it so soon: "Your mother agreed?"

Gu Caiwei's tone was encouraging: "Not yet, but she said she would see Peng Yuchen again!"

It was a huge breakthrough and represented a fundamental shift in her attitude.

"See you when?"

"Now!"

Lin Yi was very surprised, Ms. Gu Changge was really very active, once she made up her mind, her efficiency was astonishing.

"Then I want to congratulate you in advance."

"Hee hee, thank you Lin Yi!"

After Gu Caiwei left, the old bear who had been eavesdropping for a long time came over and asked, "You have all met the parents, what did her mother promise?"

Lin Yi asked, "Do you know why the moon was so big and round last night?"

Old Xiong didn't understand his irrelevant turning point, so he asked at a loss: "What do you mean, have you studied the phases of the moon?"

Lin was expressionless: "It means it's none of your business!"

Chapter 148 Three Women

This meeting is not in Lin'an.

When Gu Caiwei announced the good news to Lin Yi, Ms. Gu Changge was already driving on the expressway from Lin'an to Shencheng.

The two major towns in the Yangtze River Delta are closely connected and the transportation is convenient. It didn't take long for her to arrive at the address that she had agreed on yesterday.

Because he had contacted in advance, Peng Yuchen had already waited outside the office in advance, and when he saw Gu Changge stepping out of the elevator, he immediately went up to meet him, and there was a tall woman standing beside him.

"Ms. Gu, welcome, I said earlier that I can go there." She smiled all over her face.

Gu Changge stretched out his hand and shook her: "Last time, Mr. Peng said that he had visited the thatched cottage three times. This time, if I'm still sleeping at home, it would be too ungrateful."

"Flourishing radiance, please come inside!"

Peng Yuchen has enough reasons to be happy, this is not a matter of reciprocity.

Gu Changge came to the door. This action was called "stepping on the spot in advance" in criminal gangs, "collecting evidence on the spot" in the investigation process, and "due diligence" in business negotiations.

In short, the meaning is to get serious, otherwise there is no need to spend that effort.

More than a month after the two met last time, things finally ushered in a major turning point.

She knew the purpose of Gu Changge's visit, so she took her around the company specially, and then took her to the only reception room to sit down.

After the little assistant finished serving tea, Peng Yuchen formally introduced: "Ms. Gu, the person next to me is one of my partners and the company's artist training director, An Ran."

"I know you're coming today, but she flew over from Rongcheng overnight."

Gu Changge took a look at this woman. She was tall and thin. She shouldn't be too young, but she had a pretty face and a very outstanding demeanor.

Not to mention the training director, this temperament is not surprising if it is an artist.

She also shook hands: "Nice to meet you, Mr. An."

"I'm more used to being called Teacher An." The woman was not so enthusiastic.
