Back to the prime of life

Chapter 38 Top Ten Singers Qin Jun
After picking out some nice clothes, Lu Changge did not forget his sister in Jinling. Xu Qiuxue was four or five centimeters shorter than Yin Anyan, but their figures were similar. He chose a smaller size based on her and then asked for it to be delivered by courier.

Winter clothes would be a bit expensive for her, and it would be a bit strange to give her money directly, so he came up with this idea.

After receiving the clothes, Xu Qiuxue called.

Lu Changge was picked up at the library, and Xu Qiuxue's first question was, "Is this very expensive?"

"It's not expensive. Clothes in Jiangzhou are very cheap."

The second sentence also surprised him.

"So, do you have a girlfriend?"

Lu Changge was really curious: "Why do you ask that?"

"My roommate said that they said a boy's taste would definitely not be able to pick out such nice clothes."

Oh, so that’s how it is.

Judging from her tone, she should still be happy.

"Women's intuition is indeed accurate. I can't say I'm your girlfriend, but it was definitely a girl who helped me choose it. So, does it fit me well?"

"It's a little tight."

Lu Changge didn't say anything witty, this wasn't Yin Anyan.

After making this call, he continued to stay in the library to organize those success books. In addition to these books, he also integrated various information he had read and tried to divide them into different categories such as eloquence, emotional intelligence and workplace practice.

These three major categories are further divided into subcategories, such as the basics of eloquence, advanced eloquence, etc.

As for emotional intelligence, let’s first have a classic discussion on EQ and IQ.

In his workplace experience, he has also compiled a lot of information, such as how to quickly integrate into a new team, a guide to getting along with bosses with different personalities, and how small minds can also bring great wisdom...

How can I put it about this kind of stuff? When Lu Changge first entered the workplace, he had actually seen similar things, even though he knew they were fake.

It’s actually harder to say no than you think.

He didn't understand it at first, until he became a veteran in the workplace and observed many newcomers, he finally understood the logic.

Actually, it’s just one thing: he was panicked because he was a novice entering the workplace.

About ten years later, there will be a term called "selling anxiety", which is almost taking advantage of this psychology. As long as a person feels uneasy and panicky, he will always have to find a way to deal with it.

But the workplace is like a foggy forest, and there is no way to know the future. In this case, even if you realize that success theory may be fake, you can't help but try it.

So throughout November, Lu Changge spent most of his time on this. He had no place to record videos and audios, so he made a PPT first.

At the same time, he also learned how to open a Taobao store. This thing was simpler than he thought, and the name was also very common, called Lu Baiwan's Career Experience Store.

Some awesome things have to be boasted about.

No one else knew about this, not even Yin Anyan.

During this period, Qin Jun, who participated in the Campus Top Ten Singers Competition, entered the finals, which was a big event for 308.

Li Ming mobilized all of them to go and cheer for Qin Jun. Even Hui Chuankun, who usually had little presence, showed up at the finals this time.

The scene is the auditorium of Jiangzhou University of Technology.

The place was quite big, but because it was the finals, it was basically packed. Li Ming pulled Lu Changge backstage to find Qin Jun who was waiting in the wings.

On the one hand, he came to see what the backstage looked like, and on the other hand, he came to cheer him up and reassure Qin Jun not to be nervous.

After more than two months of getting along, everyone's understanding of each other gradually deepened.

The reason why Qin Jun sings so well is not only because of his good voice, but also because his mother is a music teacher in the middle school in his hometown.

He may not have a high status in the music world, but at least he is professional, so Qin Jun has received professional guidance since he was a child.

He can also play the piano.

This is a rare talent in universities these days.

Lu Changge had never had such an experience in his previous life. When he got to the backstage, he looked around. There were several other contestants like Qin Jun. Some were putting on makeup, and some were chatting with others.

Besides that, he saw a familiar figure, who had a vague impression of him, especially the reddish-brown hair. It seemed to be the girl he bumped into last time.

At this time, she was wearing a blue sleeveless evening dress. Her slim figure showed graceful curves, and her swan neck was also eye-catching. She looked like she was reciprocating with a boy in a suit.

Host?

The girl probably felt that someone was looking at her, so she glanced in Lu Changge's direction. After calming down, her eyes slightly condensed and a little cold. She probably thought of who had knocked her down last time.

"Are you confident?"

Li Ming is chatting with Qin Jun.

"That is required."

Lu Changge came back to his senses and said, "For your sake, I rented a good camera today. I'll take a picture of you as a souvenir."

"If you win the championship, you can take more photos. If you don't win the championship, just forget it." Qin Jun said.

"You can't say that. The important thing is participation."

As someone who has experienced this, Lu Changge knows that this kind of thing is actually a good memory.

Even if the wild passion of youth does not ultimately lead to success, it is still a mark of having lived a fierce life.

It was noisy here, and Li Ming and Lu Changge couldn't keep Qin Jun chatting. He had to prepare for the competition, so they said a few words and left.

Before leaving, Lu Changge took a photo of Qin Jun, showing him waiting backstage for his turn on stage.

Afterwards, they met up with three other people from the dormitory and returned to the auditorium to sit down.

The final officially began at 18: p.m.

Then the girl with long brown hair, whose appearance he only recognized but whose name he didn't know, came on stage. She was indeed one of the hosts for tonight.

The lights shone on the host, who then began to recite the lyrics: "Rhythm flows, drawing sound to create light." Welcome, teachers and students, to the fourth session of the 2006 Jiangzhou University of Technology...

Li Ming sat next to Lu Changge and said, "Old Qin is really in the spotlight today. Old Lu, do you think it's too late for me to learn something now? If I had known that musical instruments were so useful, I would never have spent all day playing those crappy games." "How do you put it? Actually, a successful failure is also a kind of success. Try to understand it yourself."

"Tsk." Li Ming was speechless after being mocked. "Can you encourage me, buddy? None of the beautiful Yin's roommates like me. I'm already sad."

"Then you can't send messages to two people at the same time, not to mention that they live in the same dormitory."

"Hey, Old Qin is the first one." Cheng Yongyi reminded from the side.

It really is,
I don’t know if they wanted to find a piano boy to rock the show right from the start, but the effect was achieved anyway.

After Qin Jun bowed to the audience and sat down next to the piano, the atmosphere in the auditorium became a little hot.

The song he chose is also very suitable for piano playing. It is the love song "Maple" released by King Zhou just last year.

As the elegant piano melody of the prelude began, the whole auditorium let out a loud "Oh", which was amazing and beautiful.

Li Ming suffered even more.

My own failure is terrible, but my brother’s success is even more heartbreaking!

"Dark clouds cast a shadow in our hearts,"

“I listen to the long-silent mood”

……

It must be different if you have practiced. Even Lu Changge, an outsider, can hear that Lao Qin's breath is very steady, the rhythm is not disordered at all, and the high notes do not seem to be difficult, but rather more powerful. They have experienced all of this in karaoke.

He was thinking that maybe this guy could really get a good ranking.

"Okay, okay." Cheng Yongyi also started clapping and took the lead in shouting, "Come on, Lao Qin!"

This guy also likes to show off, as if he has to tell everyone around him that he knows this person.

Lu Changge was also immersed in the melody of Jay Chou's classic love songs, and before he knew it, the time of a song had passed.

This was followed by comments from teachers from the music conservatory, making it feel like a talent show.

The evaluation criteria for this kind of thing vary greatly. Jiangnan University of Technology uses a teacher-graded system, and Qin Jun received a high score of 94.

It’s not that his singing was truly flawless, but in an amateur competition like this, with a professional, it naturally exceeded expectations.

After Qin Jun went down,
Lu Changge and Li Ming both received QQ messages from him asking for money... 500 each.

He also explained that he had an appointment with Cui Lanxia, the flag bearer of the Computer Department's team at the previous school anniversary celebration, tonight.

The guy promised her that he would sing a song by the girl's favorite singer at the finals and then take her to a romantic candlelight dinner.

Li Ming's face turned even more bitter. He leaned over and said, "Fuck, Lao Qin has a girlfriend too, and I didn't even know about it!"

Lu Changge didn’t know either, and it was normal that he didn’t know. He had been studying career success recently.

He sent a message to Li Ming via QQ: How much money do you have?

In fact, Cheng Yongyi in their dormitory is relatively rich.

Normally, the atmosphere in 308 is very good, and you can just borrow money from this rich second generation.

But Qin Jun was a man of the ultimate temperament. It wasn't that he had a bad relationship with Cheng Yongyi, but Old Cheng, a rich kid, had a certain sense of superiority.

Young people have all been stupid before, which doesn't mean he is a bad person, but Qin Jun will see through it.

Loyalty, purity, love and hate are all strong and obvious, and are born that way.

This includes having little money but still borrowing money to have a candlelight dinner with a girl. This is something only he would do.

Li Ming replied to Lu Changge: My entire body is worth 423 yuan.

It's already mid-November and everyone has little money. Li Ming is still relatively well off, but if he finds a girlfriend, he'll have to eat instant noodles every day.

Lu Changge pondered for a moment. He was used to keeping a low profile. Normally, if someone asked to borrow money for something improper, he might refuse. But this time, it was his brother's date with the girl he liked.

Let him do it.

He said to Li Ming, "Let's go out and look for him."

"it is good."

On the roadside outside the auditorium, Lu Changge took out a thousand yuan and gave it to Qin Jun, saying, "How dare you ask for five hundred yuan each. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Hehe, am I shy? I'm embarrassed to say it, but if you two really don't have it, I can only go find Lao Cheng."

"Are you embarrassed? That's a bit shameless." Li Ming said.

Qin Jun admitted it and asked, "Old Lu, you just bought a lot of clothes, didn't you? I didn't expect you still have some left."

"Don't think about me, you have something else to do tonight."

Qin Jun nodded and said, "Thank you, I won't say anything more. I'll remember this."

"It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not, just pay me back."

"I'll definitely give it back to you."

After saying that, he left, his steps becoming much more cheerful.

After that, Li Ming kept staring at Lu Changge.

"What?" He felt a little nervous when he was stared at.

Li Ming touched his chin. "You, Old Lu, are usually very low-key, but you buy bicycles worth five or six hundred yuan and clothes worth less than a thousand yuan without hesitation, and you still have money left after buying them. There's something wrong with you."

"You see? Then I'll tell you my cards. I'm a millionaire."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Ming was joking with him, but he knew in his heart that his roommate was indeed different.
