Chapter 1112 Heartfelt Appreciation
It wasted so much time that it disrupted her plans. Not only did it keep Liang Cheng waiting outside for a long time, but it also caused her cousin to postpone her meal.
Liu Meilan chuckled and said, "Well, we didn't eat that early! We got up early this morning and came here, and I took a nap this afternoon! I just woke up not long ago, so I'm not hungry yet! By the way, how did you get here? Did you send someone to pick you up?"
After all, it's my cousin's first time visiting our home. She doesn't know the way. What if she can't find it?
Linghua quickly refused, "Sister, no need! Brother Liang Cheng is here to pick me up. He said his home isn't far from the Fu family's!"
"Huh?" Liu Meilan was taken aback. "Liang Cheng?"
Linghua replied, "One of Yibang's best men last time works in our hometown!"
Liu Meilan was slightly taken aback. "Of course I know he works in your hometown, but how did you all get together?"
Linghua replied, "Brother Liang Cheng said he needed my help with some things, so he added my phone number. When he found out I was in Beijing, he asked if I needed any local specialties from my hometown. I was thinking of visiting the Fu family, so I asked him to bring me some fresh beef and mutton, as well as some cheese!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Meilan's lips curled up slightly. "Oh, I see! Okay, tell Liang Cheng to drive safely!"
Before Linghua could answer, Liang Cheng said, "Meilan, don't worry, I will definitely deliver Linghua safely!"
Liu Meilan smiled, "Okay! Thank you for your help, Liang Cheng."
After hanging up the phone, Linghua took her wallet out of her bag. "Brother Liangcheng, you brought me beef and mutton, it must have cost you a lot of money! Luckily, I have some on me, I'll transfer it to you!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng quickly refused, "Linghua, it wouldn't be right for you to do this! We're friends, so it's only right that I bring you something! You also said that if there are any cultural and tourism events next year, we can invite you. You've been so generous to your hometown, so of course your hometown and I, as a local staff member, can't be stingy with you!"
"Besides, we'll be going to Shenzhen often for business development in the future, and we might need your help then! You'll be treating us to meals, so why should I pay?"
That being said, it's clear that Liang Cheng had no intention of letting the women pay.
However, if we don't say that now, Linghua will insist on paying.
He went through all that trouble to bring the beef and mutton over, was it just for that little bit of money?
of course not!
Hearing Liang Cheng say that, Linghua paused slightly, then put her wallet away. "Brother Liang Cheng, since you put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony! I won't give you the money, but next time you come to Shenzhen, you must let me know! It'll be my treat!"
Liang Cheng nodded with a smile, "Of course! Was this year's rehearsal interesting?"
Linghua nodded, "After Lunar New Year's Eve this year, it will be the new millennium! This year's Spring Festival Gala is a very large-scale event, with performing arts stars from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan participating!"
"Then this year's Spring Festival Gala will definitely be very interesting!" Liang Cheng laughed. "You were more than half an hour late today, was it because of a rehearsal problem?"
Linghua hesitated, "If I tell you, don't tell anyone outside. If word gets out and people find out it was me, you'll offend people."
Liang Cheng raised an eyebrow, looked straight ahead, and chuckled, "I'm not part of your cultural circle. Even if I knew, I wouldn't know who to tell. I noticed you looked unwell when you came out; you must have been wronged, right?"
Linghua nodded, her voice a little downcast, "The two programs before mine were performed by singers and stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, who acted as if they were superior to us. They deliberately made things difficult for the other performers and staff. The station even asked the mainlanders to make way so that the rehearsals could proceed smoothly. That feeling was so unpleasant."
Liang Cheng sensed Linghua's disappointment and sighed slightly, "Perhaps they are more advanced than us, and they also have some value in united front work, so they think they are superior. Once our economy develops, these people won't dare to do that anymore."
Linghua smiled, "I think so too. The domestic economy is developing very rapidly now. Take Shenzhen for example, I think it will surpass Hong Kong and Macau soon."
Liang Cheng nodded, "Of course, the internet and high-tech industries in Shenzhen are developing rapidly. We will definitely be able to overtake them in the future. This is also the goal of countless young people like us who come to the grassroots level and work hard to develop."
People like Liang Cheng, Xu Feng, and Liu Yibang could have lived very comfortably with their families, indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery. As long as no one died, they would have been fine.
But they didn't do that. On one hand, it was because of the family's heritage and hopes, and on the other hand, it was because they had ideals and dreams.
We Chinese are so hardworking and kind, why can't we live a good life?
Liang Cheng believes that ambitious young people from all walks of life are striving for this goal.
Linghua smiled, "Seeing you, and my cousins, makes me believe that we will definitely have a good future. I'm counting on you all from now on."
Liang Cheng praised, "You've done a great job in the cultural field as well. Your music is unique, with a very distinct Chinese style, which many people like; it's definitely something that the general public enjoys."
Linghua was a little embarrassed. "In the past, although my songs were catchy and many people liked them, many musicians said my music was unsophisticated and not sophisticated enough. I was very disappointed because of this, but my cousin said that what is national is also international. If we copy everything from foreign countries, even if we do it to the best of our ability, we will only be picking up scraps from others. Our Chinese culture has a long history and is inclusive. Therefore, we should absorb the essence of foreign cultures, discard the dross, and then integrate it with our unique Chinese culture to form our own unique style."
Liang Cheng nodded in approval, "Meilan is absolutely right. That saying, 'What is national is also international,' is so true. Linghua, you've done it. Congratulations."
Being able to appear on CCTV is enough to prove that Linghua's music has been recognized by the people.
Linghua was a little embarrassed by the praise, saying, "I was just doing my part."
Liang Cheng's heart raced; he was quite certain that this feeling was unusual. "Let's encourage each other."
Linghua smiled, "Yes, yes, ambitious young people, let's encourage each other."
Linghua was deeply influenced by Liu Meilan. Her pursuit of art was also very pure, and her private life was very clean.
In my daily life, I release albums, participate in commercial performances and advertisements, and also perform with the performing arts troupe for two months every year.
She earned a lot of money and gave it all to her cousin to help her invest. Every time she saw the investment returns, Linghua was even less worried.
This is the source of her confidence to focus on making music, and also the courage she has to resist external interference.
That's why Linghua's musical talent has grown so much. From being called unsophisticated at the beginning, time has proven that she is leading the music trend.
