Actually, there is a very simple solution to this matter, Li Qian just needs to say one sentence: I have a girlfriend now!

  "Alright, I guarantee it will be settled immediately."

  But facing enthusiastic Liao parents, if Li Qian says it out loud, it will definitely hurt people, so even those with a little social experience won't do that.

  However, Liao Liao can be used.

  Just as the misunderstanding had just formed, when she and Li Qian separated and returned home, Liao's parents didn't know what they heard from Liao Min, asked Liao Liao a few questions, and decided to go to Li Qian's uncle's house. Liao Liao wanted to say something but didn't, waiting until Li Qian's parents came back to visit, she knew that things couldn't be dragged on by her own temper anymore.

  As soon as Li's family left, she directly confronted Liao's father and mother.

  The whole family was a bit silent, Liao Min quietly slipped back to her own room, Liao's father and mother sat there without speaking, only the little kid in the Liao family didn't understand what was going on, and kept asking his sister to hold him.

  Finally, Lao Ma urged, "Let's change to another one. Since he has a girlfriend, let's not stick with him anymore. It's not like we can't see other people, we can find someone else later. Hmm... darling, our Lao family can't afford to be treated as a mistress!"

  But Liao's father said: "Why can't you touch just because you have a girlfriend? What are you afraid of if you have a girlfriend? If he is as talented as you say and so important to you, then grab him!"

  Look at Dad, look at Mom, Liao Liao is speechless.

  Why did you two think so extremely?

  Did I really act like I liked him?

  …………

  On the third day of the new year, Liao Liao slipped away and returned to Shuntian Prefecture.

  On the fifth day of Lunar New Year, Li Qian and his family got up early again, it was still dark outside, they had already started their car and hit the road.

  To be honest, this time coming to Grandma's house for the New Year, the process was not particularly pleasant. However, after Liao Liao and his family came to visit, Auntie seemed to have sensed it sensitively. At that time, Li Qian's family had already subtly become a different class from them, and it wasn't worth ruining their relationship over such trivial matters. After all, the other family's future seemed to be on the rise. Who knows when they might need their help in the future?

  Especially his own little nephew, people say don't bully young poor men, but he's only seventeen or eighteen years old and seems to have already begun showing some qualities and abilities that are quite different from ordinary young people. His future is even more bewildering yet somehow admirable...

  As a result, the awkwardness and discord between them due to her taking the initiative to propose also gradually dissipated under her deliberate low-key apology.

  After all, we are still one family.

  Another long drive, by the time they arrived back at their home in Jinan Prefecture, everyone was exhausted.

  Li's father and son were both sprawled on the sofa, unwilling to move, but Li's mother, who had been complaining about being tired all along, was the first to pull out a calculator and started punching in numbers. Good grief! Just to show off by driving over there, just to save face, they ended up losing big time!

  How much is the train ticket for a family of three? How much is the toll and gas for driving back and forth on the highway?

  Before leaving, Li's father had said that driving there would not only be tiring but also possibly more expensive for the road fees. However, at that time, Li's mother didn't care about that and just thought about going back to show off. After returning and calculating, she couldn't bear the heartache of the expense.

  Especially Li Qian's good-for-nothing son, he even gave away 600 yuan of lucky money to someone else!

  Although Li Qian has been financially independent for a long time, his son's money is also his own money!

  What's going on? Find fault with him and scold him!

  Li Qian couldn't withstand his mother's firepower. After dinner, he slipped away and first took Wang Jinglu up to the rooftop for a simple chat, but unable to bear his fatigue, he directly returned to the house on the other side to rest.

  The winter vacation is relatively short, and it's only about four weeks when added together. The Shuntianfu side is slightly shorter. School starts on the 13th of the first lunar month, and Jinan Prefecture is a bit better, at least allowing us to spend the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

  After Li Qian and his family returned, they didn't really rest. The next day, the three of them drove back to their hometown again to pay New Year's respects to Li Qian's grandparents, and it wasn't until late at night that they returned home.

  By the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Li's mother went to work, and Li Qian took some gifts to visit Wang Jinglu's parents. Of course, Wang Jinglu's father was definitely not at home. According to the news revealed by Wang Jinglu earlier, on the 29th day of the lunar year, she had a younger half-brother, named Wang Jingguo. It can be inferred that Wang Jinglu's father must still be guarding the hospital now.

  Li Qian met Tao Huijun and also met Wang Jingxue.

  When Li Qian came to visit, both of them were very happy. Tao Huijun even showed some rare warmth and concern, asking Li Qian how his new year was going and how his family in the Northeast was doing. As for Wang Jingxue... on this big New Year's day, she could only force out a smile, sit there and listen to Li Qian chatting with her mom, not saying a word unless Li Qian occasionally asked about her or the other girls in their group, at which point she would say a few simple words.

  Then, after all these things were busy, Li Qian rested at home for a day, and it was the ninth day of the first month. Wang Jingxue and Wang Jinglu sisters were about to return to Shuntian Prefecture.

  After seeing them off, Li Qian felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, but he had become more subdued.

  On the tenth day of the first month, Li Qian and Cao Ting, Yu Bojun, Wang Huaiyu and others, a total of six people who usually played together, gathered at the Western restaurant opened by Cao Ting. By this time, the news that Li Qian had decided not to attend the Golden Melody Awards ceremony had already spread in the music circle, and Cao Ting and several others naturally knew it early on.

  Wang Huaiyu's face was tinged with worry, and he tactfully advised Li Qian that in front of the officials, it would be better to lower his head a bit, as being too forthright would lead to trouble later. Cao Yun, on the other hand, was somewhat at a loss for words, as while he admired Li Qian's personality from the bottom of his heart, years of experience in the music circle made him have to admit that Wang Huaiyu's words were reasonable. In the end, he simply chose not to express any opinion.

  It's actually Yu Da Gong Zi who is very open-minded about this kind of thing, saying it's just an awards ceremony, if he doesn't go then he won't go, can the organizers come and bite Li Qian's butt? Can they stop him from writing songs? Besides, if all else fails, my brother is so handsome, no big deal if he quits this line of work, he can be the male lead in my movie! A brand new young widow killer!

  Everyone burst out laughing.

  Although Li Qian was not present, the chances of winning were already less than one in a hundred, but some preparations still had to be made. After everyone gathered together, on the second day, Li Qian specially handwrote an award acceptance speech and rode his bike to deliver it to Cao Yun, asking him to bring it to Shuntianfu. If he really won the prize, let him help take the stage to receive it.

  Then this busy year has also passed.

  Then comes the Lantern Festival, after which Li Qian officially starts school. Then the spring breeze blows and the war drums beat, students and teachers are mobilized together. From the first day of school, they were directly drawn into the rhythm of intense review before the college entrance examination.

  Time flies, and before we know it, it's already March in the solar calendar.

  On March 5th, Cao Yun set out from Jinan Prefecture to Shuntian Prefecture to prepare for this year's Golden Melody Awards ceremony.

  March 6th, the second day of the second month in the lunar calendar, Dragon Raises its Head.

  At 8 pm, the 17th Golden Melody Awards ceremony was officially held in the No. 2 performance hall of Hua Xia TV station.

  …………

  At the awards ceremony, the men were dressed in neat suits, while the women were dressed in colorful and vibrant clothes.

  Although it's a recording, the recording also needs to be broadcast. People in the circle of fame and fortune can't help but pay attention to their image. Moreover, dressing up formally is also a sign of respect for the organizers.

  Everyone in this circle is making a living, but few people can be like Li Qian, who has hundreds or thousands of classic works in his belly. He doesn't have to worry about personal connections, market factors, and so on. Naturally, he can do his own thing. In this circle, those who are qualified to attend the awards ceremony, whether they are singers or behind-the-scenes lyricists, composers, producers, etc., basically all have the qualifications to be called "geniuses". They are already very talented musicians, but everyone still has to give face to the Golden Melody Awards and follow the various rules of this circle.

  No matter what profession you are in, either you are strong enough to defy the heavens and overturn all previous molds and rules, re-establishing new ones, or you must play by the rules honestly.

  Otherwise, you won't have anything to play with.

  For example, just two or three hours before the awards ceremony started, a rumor suddenly spread among the people in the circle: The organizer had secretly notified the agents of Liao Liao, He Runqing and Wu Xing Yusuo, as well as the producers of their respective albums, that if they won the award, they were not allowed to mention the two words "Li Qian" in their acceptance speech.

  This is certainly a rumor.

  However, such a rumor suddenly appeared on the scene of the Golden Melody Awards ceremony and spread throughout the venue in just tens of minutes... Obviously, no one would be foolish enough to take it as a rumor.

  Cao Yun's face was as calm as water, and when he first arrived at the scene, he was fine. He walked around and greeted many old friends in the industry whom he had not seen for a long time. However, afterwards, he returned to his seat, with a cold expression, deep in thought and speechless.

  Liao Liao soon heard the rumor from Huang Wenjuan after arriving at the scene, and she almost exploded on the spot. Under the comfort of Huang Wenjuan and Chen Changsheng, she finally managed to suppress her extreme dissatisfaction and returned to her seat in the Changsheng Records area, but couldn't help but put on a straight face.

  When she finally figured things out and looked up, she caught a glimpse of several ambiguous gazes that seemed to be smiling yet not quite.

  Yes, it's obvious that many people are gloating over others' misfortunes!

  Suddenly, Liao Liao couldn't help it again!

  Today I want to burst out, monthly tickets and rewards, can you give me some strength? (.)
