Chapter 35 The Story of the Cafe

The next day, when Xia Yufeng arrived at the coffee shop agreed with "bets the lines" by car, it was already ten o'clock.

Opening the door, there are only a few people in the elegant and quiet cafe, and the shop echoes with light music that cultivates people's hearts. According to the description "bets and between the lines" on the phone, Xia Yufeng found him in the cafe at a glance. The man sitting in the corner of the cafe, wearing a black coat, jeans and a refreshing hairstyle is reading a magazine.

"Hello, is it "bet the lines"?" When Xia Yufeng walked to the man's side, he asked politely.

"Are you Xiaoxia? Come on, please sit down." Hearing Xia Yufeng's inquiry, the man put down the magazine, smiled at Xia Yufeng, and then greeted Xia Yufeng to sit opposite him.

After sitting down, Xia Yufeng looked at the man in front of him. A clean and elegant face, sharp eyebrows, big eyelids, straight nose and thin lips. Handsome and temperamental. Fortunately, I'm in the entertainment industry, and I can still make a meal with this face.

¬

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Zhehao, and I am now the music director of XX Records." ¬

"Hir, Brother Hao, my name is Xia Yufeng." After the introduction, the two said a few words to each other. ¬

"Xiaoxia, let's talk about business. I really appreciate you. I hope you can consider my suggestion. Your lyrics are well written, and the important thing is that you are very smart in words, which is rare. With my experience in this industry, if you operate well and have enough opportunities, you will shine in the field of music. Now there is a shortage of excellent lyricist in the mainland. ¬

"Brother Hao, you are flattered. To be honest, I just like to write lyrics, but I didn't expect to get your praise. As for what you said about entering the entertainment industry, I really didn't think that being a star would talk about people like us.

"Xiaoxia, let me tell you a story. Six years ago, a boy came to Beijing with enthusiasm after graduating from the law department of a famous university. He thought he could achieve a career with his excellent diploma and excellent professional level. However, reality made this boy understand how naive his thoughts are. Because he doesn't understand how far the distance between reality and dreams is. Although he works harder than anyone else, sometimes opportunities and connections are more important than the so-called effort and strength. But he didn't accept defeat. He persisted, and the more he persisted, the more disappointed he became.

Just when he was in despair and lost his self-confidence, he accidentally saw a youth song original competition on the Internet, because the boy had always liked music, was proficient in guitar and piano, and self-taught composition. So, in a desperate situation, he once again summoned up the courage to prepare to fight once. He trapped himself in the house for three days, creating, modifying and repeating, striving to create the most ideal work.

Finally, three days later, he wrote a song "never give up" based on his experience during this period. As a result, his hard work was not in vain. He won the second prize of the competition. He not only received the 8,000 yuan cash prize of the competition, but also got the opportunity to sign a contract with the company.

Since then, he has moved from the legal industry to music creation. Several years later, the boy has made great achievements, and he is gradually reaching the top of his dream. At this time, I think you have probably guessed who this boy is. Yes, it's me.

Xiaoxia, I just want to say that nothing in the world is impossible and nothing is doomed. What really determines success is people's own understanding and grasp of success, and then the determination to pay.

And your situation is very similar to mine. At that time, I also simply loved music and never thought of engaging in this industry. After all, for a child who came out of the countryside, he was admitted to a famous university and had a good major. How wasteful it was, how incomprehensible and regrettable it was not to insist on doing it. And I did think so at that time.

If I hadn't experienced some setbacks and seen some cruel realities, I would have understood that maybe I could really try to work in another direction. Aren't you standing at a fork in the road now? Why can't you try to turn left?

Xiaoxia, I think no matter what, if you have the talent and ability in this area, you should try bravely and believe in yourself. Recognize yourself, understand what you have and what you like, and then choose the direction to work hard. This is the king's way, the king's way to success.

Qin Zhehao seemed to describe his struggle experience lightly, but in Xia Yufeng's heart, he was extremely surprised, and also touched the string deep in Xia Yufeng's heart.

Qin Zhehao is right. Only by recognizing yourself, understanding what you have and what you like, and then choosing the direction and working hard can you succeed. Interest is half of success, which is an ancient saying.

After figured this out, Xia Yufeng no longer hesitated. He looked at Qin Zhehao and said, "Brother Hao, thank you. You're right. I should believe in myself. To be from the bottom of my heart, I have no choice now. I'm really happy to get your approval. Since you look up to me, there is no reason not to believe myself, Brother Hao, I just listen to you. After saying that, Xia Yufeng raised the coffee on the table and toasted Qin Zhehao.

"Ha, I'm not mistaken. You should be the real you. Come on, let's drink a toast to our cooperation for our meeting. Qin Zhehao held up the coffee and said loudly to Xia Yufeng. Xia Yufeng also resolutely raised the cool cup of coffee in return.

When the cup collided, the slight sound caused a huge wave in Xia Yufeng's heart. The rolling waves washed away the haze that had been deposited in Xia Yufeng's heart for a long time, became confident and had a firm direction of struggle. His trembling heartbeat vividly recorded this moment.

In an interview a year later, Xia Yufeng also specifically mentioned this paragraph. Of course, this is a later story.

In this way, in this cafe, Xia Yufeng and Qin Zhehao met and recognized each other. They talked a lot about life, feelings, and of course, the music they like together.

The two sat in the cafe for more than an hour before they left the cafe. Outside, Qin Zhehao mysteriously said that he would take Xia Yufeng to a good place. When Xia Yufeng asked where, Qin Zhehao didn't answer. Just smile and say it, you will know.

The car shuttled on the spacious avenue, and Xia Yufeng sat calmly and steadily in the car. At this moment, he had a new feeling, that is, "his life is officially on the road"

The wind is blowing slowly outside the window. In a word, a person or a story is retreating. Who knows?
