The next morning Gao Qiyin got into the car and saw Le Zhen wearing a FOG white hoodie.He seems to have just washed his hair before going out. His hair is still a little wet and looks completely untouched. His front hair is still a little messy on his forehead. He looks younger and his temperament has softened. .

Gao Qi looked down at the white sweater that was obviously not in the same price range but had a similar appearance, and thought that this could be a couple's clothes.

Le Zhen was also taken aback when she saw him, then cleared her throat uncomfortably and said, "Do you only have a sweater at home?"

Gao Qiyin put on his seat belt and replied, "Yes, every year during the Double [-] promotion, we purchase a few pieces of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white and grey. There are all kinds of thick, thin and thin ones. There are new patterns every day." I don't know how true it is.

After speaking, he glanced at Le Zhen again: "It's the boss, you seem to be..." He hesitated to speak while talking.

Le Zhen glanced at him before starting the car, and asked, "How do I look today?"

"Hmm..." Gao Qiyin groaned again from top to bottom, resting his chin with his right hand, pondered for a while like a thinker, and said, "Humans and animals are harmless."

Le Zhen blew up, and while waiting to turn the corner, he stretched out his hand and slapped him on the head, saying, "I think you're audacious."

"I'm skilled and bold, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Then let me ask this expert," Le Zhen said again, "Who is it that has been wilting like a weed for the past few days?"

"Who? Why don't I know." Gao Qi remained calm, turned to look out the window, and changed the subject, "Where are we going now?"

Le Zhen followed his wishes and said, "It will be there soon."

The surrounding scenery became more and more familiar, and when Le Zhen turned into the parking lot, Gao Qiyin turned to him and asked, "Isn't it going to Jersey Street?"

This parking lot is at the intersection of Jersey Street. In the past, Gao Qiyin would pass by here every day when he got off the subway to go to Jersey Street.

Le Zhen gave him a mysterious smile, and only said, "Here we are, get out of the car."

The bars on Jersey Street are also divided into three, six or nine grades, even the underground, or the adjacent livehouse next to it.Because they were still newborns at the time, Gao Qi was already grateful to have a livehouse for them to perform. Fortunately, he also met a boss who treated them very well at that time. Although the venue was relatively small and not particularly famous, the equipment provided was very good. Complete.

The largest bar on the street is called Long Island Bar. Its basement is used as a livehouse venue, and even has several lounges. Scouts from various music companies often go to Long Island Bar to see if there are any talented people. Therefore, every musician who comes to Jersey Street probably thinks that if he can have a fixed place in the Long Island Bar, he will not have to worry about being unable to turn around.

And Le Zhen led Gao Qiyin straight into Long Island.

It was still early in the morning, and not long after the Long Island Bar put down the rest sign, the shop was pitch black, except for a few lights on the top of the bar.

There was someone at the bar wiping a glass of wine, and when they saw Le Zhen coming in, they greeted him: "Hey, Boss Le, long time no see."

Le Zhen stepped forward and gave him a slap: "Shut up, you're acting weird."

That person didn't care, and continued to say in a strange manner: "Boss Le's family has a big business, I heard that you have established a new music company?"

Le Zhen smiled, said "um", and then pulled Gao Qiyin behind him to show him: "I will secretly reveal to you, our top singer, while you can still ask for an autograph now, there will be no chance if it is too late. "

Gao Qi twitched the corners of his mouth because of his face, and slandered in his heart: "You are a big-headed ghost!"

The man looked at Gao Qiyin with a few small lights on his head, and praised him: "Not bad, he looks handsome."

Le Zhen raised her chin and let out a "hum", shamelessly said: "It's still incomparable to me back then."

The man yelled at him again: "You know it's an old man from back then! Besides your killer look at that time, I get goosebumps thinking about it now, just look at it." After finishing speaking, he turned to Le Zhen Stretched out his arms.

Le Zhen pinched that arm and stopped talking: "Okay, okay, leave me a perfect image in front of my subordinates." After telling the old story, he finally introduced to Gao Qiyin: "Xu Changqing, my high school classmate , now he is the owner of the Long Island Bar, and we called him Lover at that time."

Xu Changqing heard the words and said: "Bah, don't listen to him, don't bark."

"Curious baby" Gao Qi asked because he didn't understand, "Why is it called Love Saint?"

Le Zhen raised the corner of her mouth and snorted, and said, "Don't think he's called 'Long Love', he was..."

Xu Changqing interrupted in time: "Shut up, don't talk about my romantic history!" Then he patted Le Zhen on the head, it seems that this head pat is still their high school tradition.

Le Zhen laughed again, just like a three-year-old child who won the mouth.He asked, "Should we keep that lounge?"

Xu Changqing said: "Of course I keep it. You called yesterday and said you were coming and changed a light bulb for you."

Le Zhen patted him on the shoulder: "Brother is interesting. Then let's go down first."

Xu Changqing waved at him with the back of his hand outward: "Get out, get out."

Le Zhenshu led Gao Qiyin to the back of the bar, went around to the back door of the bar and went down the stairs.The underground corridor didn't turn on a few lights at the moment, there were lounges on both sides, and the door at the end of Le Zhen opened.

He fumbled on the wall next to him and turned on the light.Sure enough, it was just replaced, and the full brightness almost blinded people's eyes all of a sudden.Le Zhen raised her hand to block it, and said to Gao Qiyin behind her, "It's too bright all of a sudden, squint your eyes for a while and then slowly open them."

Because of Le Zhen blocking the door and the wall blocking the side, Gao Qi was not hit by the strong light all of a sudden, so he obediently listened to Le Zhen's words and entered the lounge with his eyes squinted.

The objects in the lounge were all covered with covers, and it seemed that they hadn't been touched for a long time.Le Zhen walked to the side of the lounge and pulled a large cover to the side.

After several years, it turned out to be a set of band instruments.Drums, keyboards, guitars, bass, everything.

Le Zhen tore off the cover on the sofa on the other side. Fortunately, the furniture below was covered by the cover and there was no dust.Le Zhen picked up a guitar and sat on the sofa.

He looked at the guitar from the beginning to the end, and then started to stroke it lightly, as if he was just raising his hand, and his fingertips touched the surface of the guitar from time to time, as if what he was holding was not the guitar, but the guitar that had just been picked up. The fragments of ancient books dug out from thousand-year-old tombs will turn into ashes and scatter if they are slightly inappropriate.

After a long time, Le Zhen said, "This is the guitar I used to use."

Gao Qiyin sat on the other side of the sofa, Le Zhen looked up at him, and continued: "I am very similar to you before. When I was in high school, I formed a band with my friends, and it was very popular. At that time, I walked through Xu Changqing's back door. , I had the opportunity to perform here, and the feedback was good. At that time, the owner of Long Island Bar, Xu Changqing’s uncle, let us come here a few more times, and this lounge became our exclusive lounge.”

"We all went to the United States after graduating from high school, and we didn't give up when no one took care of us when we went abroad." Le Zhen rubbed Gao Qiyin's head again, "But we are still reasonable. Impulsively dropped out of school."

Knowing that he was turning a corner to teach him a lesson, Gao Qi moved his lips and cursed silently.

"Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous," Le Zhen continued: "We still want to make music after returning to China, so we told our family. It stands to reason that I should directly take over the family's company when I return home. I didn’t think much about it, even if it took a few years of free time, I felt that it was enough, and I just wanted to write the music I wanted to sing.”

"But I still remember what my mother said at the time."

"He's in his twenties, and he's still holding a guitar all day long, and he still talks about making music professionally. I didn't care about you when you were in high school. You went to the United States to go to school too far away for me. I can’t control you. Now that I’m back in China, do a good job in your father’s company. Don’t dream about unrealistic dreams all day. Don’t talk about making music. If you don’t have money from your family, can you afford a guitar? You go Do you have enough food to make music? After all, you have to work steadily in your life. You are no longer a child, so be realistic.”

Gao Qi was silent because he didn't even have the support of financial conditions, but his words were almost the same.Perhaps in the hearts of parents, it is the normal life to work, get married and have children in a down-to-earth manner, but for them, will they feel at ease in this way?

He laughed with some sarcasm, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at the same words or the helpless world.

Hearing his voice, Le Zhen glanced at him again, with a bitter face, and continued, "So there was nothing I could do at that time. After arguing for a long time, I still gave in. I went to my home company and sat in the office every day to be honest. I haven’t even touched the guitar for a long time, and the calluses on my fingers have faded a lot. In the end, the band broke up, but fortunately Xu Changqing still kept these things for us.” He said and looked around the entire lounge , I think it must have left a lot of precious memories.

Le Zhen's tone has always been calm, but Gao Qi understands how painful it is to be strangled by wings, and it is impossible to break free.

He asked softly, "Is this why Leyin was founded?"

Le Zhen replied: "That's right. I've invested my own money in the past few years, and I've accumulated some savings. I just want to start a music company. It doesn't have anything to do with my dream."

"But this is not your original intention." Gao Qiyin said softly.

Le Zhen was silent, then reached out and plucked the string.

The strings were trembling, because they hadn't been tuned for many years, and the sounds they made were all tuned, echoing in the not-so-empty room.

People always talk about their original intentions, but who can pat their chests and guarantee that their original intentions will not change. There are too many factors that can change people in this society, but people only have one heart.

Gao Qiyin couldn't help thinking about what his original intention was like now.

So he asked: "Boss, why did you take a fancy to me in the first place?"

Le Zhen thought for a while, and replied: "Everyone is doing a reading comprehension when listening to music. But I heard three things in your song: one is ability, the other is dream, and the third is timidity."

"At that time, I thought, if there is any reason for your timidity, then I want to help you eliminate it."

He patted Gao Qiyin on the shoulder and said, "Qiyin, I have told you as someone who has been here. I was cowardly at the time, and my love for music may not have reached the level where I could work hard for it, so I fell under the constraints of my mother. I believed in your talents and created opportunities for you, but really everything is your own, your own music, your own choices, your own life."

"Maybe your parents will always be an insurmountable hurdle on your way forward, maybe they will be with you for a long time, but before you have to change your original intention like I did, ask yourself what is in front of you , what is your ultimate goal?"

"Qiyin, this is your own life, it's up to you to decide, don't let yourself regret it."

For a moment, both of them were silent, and only the sound of their subtle breathing wafted in the air.

After Le Zhen finished speaking, he didn't hear Gao Qiyin's voice for a long time, and turned his head to see that the other party was staring at him with a smile on his lips.

So he raised the corner of his mouth and asked him, "What are you staring at me for?"

Gao Qiyin seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and seemed to have just found his own voice. The smile in his eyes deepened, and he said to Le Zhen in a relaxed tone: "Thank you, Teacher Le, my life mentor."

Le Zhen found some playfulness in his tone again, knowing that the other party probably listened to what she said, so she raised her hand and squeezed his face without any force, and said: "Smiling all day, it's time to work Come on!"

Gao Qi didn't dodge it, let him wipe oil on his face, got up and stretched, agreed: "It's time to work."

It's not a long story, it's over in such a short time, and it's time to go back.Le Zhen was holding the guitar, and in the end, he only moved it just now, and now he put it back to its original position, pulled the cover on, and restored everything to its original state, as if it had never been opened, nor It's like no one has ever exposed a scar here.

But both of them knew it in their hearts.

When he was about to turn off the lights, Gao Qiyin stood behind Le Zhen and saw a black spot on his white hoodie, which was probably covered with dust just now. I slapped it twice, and the ash was just in the middle and lower part of the clothes, so I slapped the back of the waist twice consecutively.Le Zhen suddenly turned around like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted, "Murder the boss?!"

Gao Qiyin felt that his kindness was unrewarding: "Your clothes are dusty and I just photographed them off for you! Then explain that you know there will be so much dust, why are you wearing white clothes!"

Le Zhen squinted her eyes and looked at him suspiciously, and said forcefully: "I changed and washed it when I went back, and you are also wearing white clothes!"

"How do I know where you're taking me!"

The two turned off the lights and closed the door, and walked back upstairs along the corridor arguing all the way.

"Hey." Gao Qiyin followed behind and shouted.

Le Zhen looked back at him and asked, "What's the matter again? There's no serious address."

The lighting in the corridor was not good, Gao Qi lowered his head because of lowered eyes, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

He didn't reply for a while, Le Zhen wanted to turn around and leave, but someone grabbed the corner of his clothes.

The incumbent who was holding onto the corner of his clothes still lowered his head and opened his mouth. Unlike the previous thank you which was a bit of a joke, he said softly, "Thank you."

When the two returned to the bar, Xu Changqing was still wiping the cups, as if there were endless cups.

He asked, "Are you done?"

Le Zhen said, "Why does it sound so strange?"

Xu Changqing snorted, and said in disgust: "Let's go when you're done, don't hinder me from opening the door."

"You are going to work and wipe the cups for a day."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Gao Qiyin rolled his eyes and felt that these two were really preschoolers. Seeing that the two of them would fight endlessly, he quickly interjected and said to Xu Changqing: "Excuse me, then we will go first .”

So Xu Changqing took another opportunity to yell at Le Zhen: "Look at her, be more polite."

Le Zhen didn't take it seriously: "Why are you being polite to you, let's go!"

Xu Changqing wished they would leave sooner: "Let's go, let's go!"

When Le Zhen walked to the door, she still didn't forget to turn her head and wave her hand, saying goodbye: "Let's go, Lover."

Xu Changqing held the cup and wanted to smash the door: "Get lost!"

Le Zhen couldn't hold back her laughter when she went out, and returned to the car with Gao Qiyin.

Because of this, Gao Qi solved a troublesome matter, his heart fluttered again, and he said to Le Zhen: "Boss, why do I feel that you have let yourself go for a tour in a micro-service, and you are completely different from being in the company."

Hearing this, Le Zhen changed back to being serious. Although after this trouble, she didn't have much majesty in front of Gao Qiyin, but she still said righteously: "Of course you have to look like a boss in the company, otherwise how can you be upright? .”

Gao Qi made a sound of "cut", and then thought of another problem: "By the way, boss, why is Xu Changqing called a lover?"

Le Zhen replied, "It's a long story."

Curious baby's curiosity attack: "You can make a long story short."

Le Zhen shook her head: "It can't be short, I'll talk about it later when I have a chance."

Seeing that there was no answer to this question, he asked another question: "Then boss, did you have any nicknames before?"

Le Zhen glanced at him and said, "No."

Gao Qi didn't believe it: "Really?"

Le Zhen thought to herself that this little brat was still talking about me, why didn't she find him so annoying before, so she had to compromise and said: "No really. Then why don't you pick one up and stop being so annoying."

Gao Qiyin pursed his lips, thought for a while, then had a flash of inspiration, and said, "I thought of it!"

"Oh?" Le Zhen raised her eyebrows, looking at the other person, to see what "good" nickname he could think of for him.

"Pfft." Gao Qi couldn't hold back a laugh at him because he glanced at him, and then quickly bit his lower lip to hold it back, his chest couldn't help trembling because of the suppressed laugh, and stopped laughing after a while So, carefully addressed him: "Xiao Lele?"

Le Zhen: "........."

Is it too late to lay off staff now?
