I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

After listening to Yu Shui's description of what happened in Siheyuan recently, Jingyi didn't feel sorry for these people at all. There was no such thing as a free lunch. They were just blinded by their own greed.

So, learn to be content with what you have. She is also facing this problem now! She has won the Chopin International Piano Competition, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Oscar for Best Actress, which are the highest honors in the world of music, singing and film.

I have already reached the pinnacle of my career, what more can I ask for? Why not move behind the scenes and concentrate on my creation? But I am only 27 years old now, isn't it too early to retire?

It was Yu Shui who took the initiative to ask Jing Yi out today. Would he tell her these irrelevant things?

"Is there anything else you want to say to me? I see that you seem to be hesitant to talk, which makes me anxious for you." Jingyi stirred the latte on the table and asked Yushui.

"Well! Jingyi, do you care... about your grandma looking for a companion?" Yu Shui said hesitantly with his head down.

"What do you mean? You still know my grandma?" Jingyi's face was full of curiosity and exaggeration. It seems that grandma is not idle at home even after retirement!

"Your grandma and my dad have known each other since they were young. Now they are both in their seventies and have no one to accompany them at home. They are afraid of loneliness when they are old. Aunt Tan often comes to see my dad. I think that as children, we hope that they can be happy in their later years."

As Yu Shui spoke, she observed Jing Yi's expression to see if there was any change on her face. But Jing Yi's face was very calm, which made her a little confused.

"It's not my turn to intervene in my grandma's affairs. As long as she feels happy in her later years, I fully support her. But you also have to consider the huge gap between their lives." Jingyi stopped at that point and also wanted to give face to Yushui.

"Ah! I have thought about it a little bit. But as I get older, I won't care about my status anymore. I will also be indifferent to money and power. Let nature take its course! As long as we, the younger generation, don't interfere, it will be fine."

Yu Shui sighed! This must be taken into consideration. For example, if Aunt Tan and his father got together, they would not be able to solve the problem of where to live. You can't ask Aunt Tan to pay for the house, right?

Jingyi could understand her grandmother Tan Yali. Now that her children were not around, the huge Lou Mansion seemed a little deserted. It was normal for people to go out and visit old friends, and she had no objection to finding a companion.

If we must find He Daqing, we can't let her move into the Siheyuan. Let He Daqing move into Lou Mansion? That's not suitable either! We can only buy another house.

I don't have much say in this matter, so I should ask my mother Lou Xiao'e for her opinion.

After sitting for a while, the two came out of Prince Fu's Mansion. Jingyi invited Yushui to meet Lou Xiaoe, but Yushui thought about it and said goodbye and left because it was not the right time.

"I know about this, too. I heard from your grandma that they are senior and junior brothers and sisters, and they learned their craft together in the kitchen since they were young. As long as your grandma is doing well, I have no objection."

When Jingyi went to the chairman's office to meet Lou Xiao'e and told her the news that Yu Shui had just revealed, Lou Xiao'e behaved very casually.

"Okay then! This is something I shouldn't be involved in. I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. Do you need me to bring anything with me?"

Jingyi no longer worries about her grandmother's affairs. Letting the elderly enjoy a happy old age is the greatest wish of children.

Now, Tingting has become her agent and stays in Hong Kong to handle her affairs. Two days ago, Tingting called and said that Time Magazine and Newsweek were coming to interview her and asked her to come back quickly.

Time Magazine in the United States belongs to Time Warner Headquarters, the same company as Warner Records Headquarters. She has a close relationship with Time Magazine! She has appeared on the cover of Time Magazine three times so far, and this time is not the only one.

Jingyi was first interviewed by Time Magazine when her first piano album was released and became a huge success. The second time was when she won the Chopin International Piano Competition. The third time she was interviewed was when she won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award!

When she flew back to Hong Kong with Molly the next day, the reporter and photographer from Time Magazine were already waiting for her in her Repulse Bay villa.

The interview took half an hour, and then we took the cover photo. This was the second time that reporter Eddie talked to Jingyi, and they were like old friends reuniting.

This time the questions first revolved around her award-winning movie, and then about Jingyi's album that is currently selling well all over the world.

Eddie then asked another question, "You compose all your music and lyrics yourself, and the lyrics are beautiful and profound in literary context. Have you ever thought about creating a masterpiece?"

Her question gave Jingyi a flash of inspiration. Yes! She could also try to develop in the literary world. Music, film and literature all belong to the same category of culture and art! She could try a different track.

Jingyi immediately said that she had the same idea, but she was not familiar with literary publishing houses and did not know which publishing house to submit her manuscript to.

This is very easy to do! Eddie immediately recommended to her that Time Warner has six major businesses: cable companies, cable television, television and radio, book publishing companies, film and television entertainment, and record companies.

Their Time magazine weekly is published by Warner Books Publishing Company. If Jingyi needs it, she can contact Warner Books Publishing Company. Eddie also gave Jingyi the phone number and address to contact her!

At night, Jingyi entered the space and opened the shopping platform, and began to search for books that had not yet been published during this period. Her condition was that the book had a great influence on the world and could be used as a script for filming a movie or TV show.

This is also a very good choice! She bought an original English version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" on the shopping platform without hesitation. This book is a magical story written by a British housewife when she coaxed her children to sleep. The book was published in 1997. Is this housewife still just a girl now?

This book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, has a total of 150,000 words and 17 chapters. Jingyi decided to spend a week typing out the manuscript on an English typewriter. She typed slowly, and she was not in a hurry at all.

It is also a coincidence! This book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and the subsequent series of books were bought by Warner Films and made into movies. Now Jingyi wants to submit the manuscript to Warner Publishing Company. Since they are all on the same page, it will be easier to discuss copyright issues in the future.

After she finished the book in a week, she contacted the Time magazine reporter Eddie. Jingyi asked Tingting to go on a business trip, bring her manuscript, and represent herself to sign a book publishing contract with Warner Publishing Company.

Thanks to Lou Jingyi's fame, the manuscript was immediately sent to the editor-in-chief of Warner Publishing Company. The editor-in-chief read it all in one breath and was very happy, but felt that this kind of magical novel, as well as the ages of the protagonists in it, should be classified as a children's publication. It should be a best-seller among primary and secondary school readers!

He also added a few sentences of resume to the book, about the magical fantasies of Lou Jingyi, a talented pianist, famous movie star, and music princess, during her teenage years.

When Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was first published and sold, although it was a bestseller, it was not a big hit. It was not until the book was introduced and published by Bloomsbury Publishing in England that it suddenly became a big hit in England. It then gradually spread to the whole world!

The setting of this novel is in England. Aren't readers of all ages eager to buy this book? Although this book is classified as a children's book, adults still line up to buy it.

At this moment, Lou Jingyi was attending the 1989 Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony. She had not released any songs in Hong Kong for more than a year, and none of her songs were on the candidate list, but this did not prevent her from attending as a judge for the Music Association Awards.

Anita Mui won the Most Popular Female Singer Award for her song "Stand By Me".

Zhang Guorong also won the Most Popular Male Singer Award for his song "Silence is Gold". This is the second consecutive year that he has won the Most Popular Male Singer Award after Cameron withdrew from the competition.

But when he went on stage to receive the award and gave his acceptance speech, everyone present was shocked, including Jingyi! Zhang Guorong actually announced that he would retire from the music industry and would no longer release any albums or singles.

Cameron just withdrew from the selection, which does not mean that he has retired from the music industry. His albums are released every year as usual. But Zhang Guorong did it so radically!

His action marked the end of the era of three kings and one queen. The new four heavenly kings were about to arrive!
