Chapter 68 Apprenticeship
After discussing the cooperation matters, Sheng Zhiwen accused him of guilt, left the seat, and waited for the guests at the scheduled elegant seat.
The best way to pass the time by sitting alone is of course reading the newspaper. This is also Zhang Shaoping's habit.
Among many newspapers, there is an interesting economic editorial in the economic edition of Sing Tao Daily, pointing out that the Hong Kong and British governments adopted monetary easing policies, and the large-scale printing of money caused excessive credit inflation. The article said that the Hong Kong dollar continued to depreciate by 14.5% from 1978 to 1982, and the inflation rate reached 12.6%. The sharp deterioration of the Hong Kong economy is likely to trigger a large-scale sale of the Hong Kong dollar in the financial market. The author calls on the government to take effective measures to prevent the Hong Kong dollar from depreciating. At the same time, it also suggests that everyone invest cautiously and choose to increase their holdings of the US dollar and the Japanese yen.
Even though Zhang Shaoping had the advantage of being foresighted, he only remembered that Hong Kong's economy had a low frozen period, and his impression of the Hong Kong dollar was very vague. However, he agreed with this article in an easy-to-understand manner.
"The current Hong Kong dollar still implements a free floating exchange rate system. The dollar exchange rate system in later memory has not yet come out. During this period, a relatively big thing must have happened, so such a big change has been made. Although I didn't expect anything, I am prepared for it and it is safer to reduce my holdings in the Hong Kong dollar.
Zhang Shaoping was just a third-rate online writer in his previous life. He might have searched for information when writing, but asking him to remember everything in detail was a embarrassment for him. Not to mention memorizing this, it is just film, video, song, dance, drama, and other things that you often watch and listen to, and you can remember them completely.
However, Zhang Shaoping was not depressed. His appearance in this era was the biggest bug, and he was already very satisfied. Moreover, as internal martial arts became more sophisticated, Zhang Shaoping also discovered a function and his spirit was much better. Perhaps one day in the future, he might even have another golden finger - remember everything in his previous life, everything was fine.
"Ding bei!"
The ringtones of the big brother's cell phone rang.
Zhang Shaoping took the phone and just said "heat" when a man on the other end said, "It's Aping, right? I'm Luo Wen."
"Oh, Brother Luo, why are you free to find me today? Aren't you preparing for a new drama?" Zhang Shaoping asked with a smile.
"Just finishing my business, I'll call you. Didn't you ask me to teach Amin's opera before? I'm free now, so you can bring her to see me tonight." Luo Wen's voice was a little tired.
"I feel very tired when I listen to your voice. Why don't you think I'll be the other day?" Zhang Shaoping said caringly.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shaoping's kindness, Luo Wen didn't appreciate it and said, "No need, who is not here to be an artist?"
Since the other party said this, Zhang Shaoping didn’t say much. Nowadays, Hong Kong people are fighting for their lives, and everyone is working hard to make money.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shaoping continued to read this economic comment. Half an hour later, Zhang Shaoping hushed and stood up and left his seat. At the same time, he remembered the author of this article, Zhang Wuchang, Dean of the School of Economics and Finance of the University of Hong Kong. At this time, he became concerned, hoping to find time to go to the University of Hong Kong to listen to Professor Zhang's high opinions.
In the evening, after having a delicious meal made by Zhou's mother at home, Zhang Shaoping and Zhou Yunu came to Luo Wen's house.
"Amin, please sing a song to me and let me understand your background."
After a few words, Luo Wen was straight to the point.
When talking about singing, Zhou Huimin was not embarrassed, but instead looked eager to try. Luo Wen nodded slightly when he saw her expression, and then brought the two of them to his recording studio.
Music masters like Luo Wen usually transform a recording studio at home because they often create one or two sentences or a small piece of beautiful melody on a whim, and inspiration is not common and needs to be recorded immediately and soundtracked instantly.
In Luo Wen's recording studio, there are all kinds of musical instruments, all of which are the best equipment imported from abroad. Zhou Huimin had never seen so many musical instruments and equipment. She was dazzled at the moment, and she couldn't help but show her love. Her expression was seen by Zhang Shaoping and the others. Zhang Shaoping secretly remembered this scene, and the smile on Luo Wen's face became stronger and stronger.
"Amin, I heard from Aping that you play the piano very well. If you don't mind, you will play a song for me to enjoy after singing." Luo Wen said with a smile.
"Okay." Zhou Huimin was happy when she saw Lie, and wanted to show off in front of Luo Wen.
Entering the glass compartment, Zhou Huimin put on her headset and looked at her microphone, looking very serious.
Zhou Huimin sang Deng Lijun's "Sweet Honey". She likes this song very much and hums a few lines from time to time at home. To be honest, Zhang Shaoping is not optimistic about her current singing level because she is a wild person and has not been trained in professional singing skills. Whether she can tighten the rhythm of the music is still a question.
After the song was over, Zhang Shaoping couldn't wait to ask Luo Wen: "How do you think Min'er sings? Does it touch your eyes?"
Zhou Huimin walked out of the compartment and looked at Luo Wen with anticipation. Her expression looked like the students who were taking the college entrance examination and waiting for admission.
Luo Wen nodded and said, "The sound is OK, it is very sweet, the skill of grasping the rhythm is good, and the basic skills are relatively solid. However, the singing skills are very poor and it takes some time to craft it."
"I can't afford to invite the teacher. I'm thinking about it myself." Zhou Huimin lowered her head and said softly.
"It's great to be able to practice to this level by thinking about it yourself." Luo Wenzan said.
"Haha, Min'er's piano is so good." Zhang Shaoping spared no effort to praise Zhou Huimin.
"Then Amin plays a piano."
Zhang Shaoping's repeated praise made Luo Wen also curious, wanting to see if it was an exaggeration or if it was really capable.
Zhou Huimin sat in front of the piano, his ten jade fingers flew like butterflies, and a beautiful song rang out slowly. It was like the flowing water of mountains and rivers, melodious, graceful and fresh, fascinating. Zhang Shaoping didn't know whether Luo Wen was intoxicated, but his delicate voice was indeed very beautiful, making him wandering in it and unable to extricate himself.
When the last note fell, Luo Wen clapped his hands and laughed: "Amin is much better than singing, and he has already gained some climate."
"I'm not as good as Brother Luo, you said." Zhou Huimin lowered her little head with a little shy look on her face.
"Hahaha, OK, I'll accept your apprentice."
Facing Zhou Huimin's eager eyes, Luo Wen finally said what she had been looking forward to for a long time. Luo Wen was extremely satisfied with this disciple, and the smile on his face never stopped.
At the beginning, Luo Wen made up his mind that if Zhou Huimin's performance did not satisfy him, he would just give him some advice. He would not teach her words and deeds and train her as a direct disciple. However, Zhou Huimin's performance was like an uncarved piece of uncensored jade, which made Luo Wen's eyes lit up, especially when playing the piano, her concentration, coordination, emotional investment and control can be seen.
"Really? Thank you teacher!" Zhou Huimin was excited when she heard this, and she was so happy that she was overjoyed and happy.
A person like Luo Wen who plays an important role in the music scene originally wanted to hold a disciple to hold a banquet of apprentices and publicize it to the outside world. However, Zhou Huimin is still a student and has no reputation. If she holds a banquet of apprentices, it will not be said whether it will ruin her. As far as the influence is concerned, it will definitely disturb her peaceful life.
Therefore, the apprenticeship banquet was spared. Under the witness of Zhang Shaoping, Luo Wen took a symbolic sip of apprenticeship tea, and his name was decided.
On the way back, Zhang Shaoping suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted: "I lost, I lost a lot!"
Zhou Huimin, who was sitting next to him, was very happy all night. When he suddenly heard his scream, he was startled and stared at him angrily: "Look at your scream, why are you losing a lot?"
Zhang Shaoping said with a bitter face: "I originally called Luo Wen, Brother Luo. If you take him as your teacher, isn't he one generation higher than me? I will be half short when I see him in the future."
When Zhou Huimin heard this, she stopped talking, lowered her head and eyebrows, looking elegant.
Seeing this, Zhang Shaoping sighed inwardly that Min'er's heroic spirit has changed a lot and is trying to change in the direction of the jade girl. The beauty is as beautiful as a flower, and Zhang Shaoping is obsessed with her, unable to help but reach out and embrace her in her arms.
Zhou Huimin gently laid on Zhang Shaoping's broad chest, rubbed his head against his jaw, and asked as if he was breathing like a cognac: "Would you like to be half short of him?"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Shaoping held her soft and boneless hands in one hand, stroked her beautiful black hair with the other hand, sniffed the end of her nose, and said with a doting authenticity.
Zhou Huimin enjoyed the feeling of being loved and hugged Zhang Shaoping even tighter.
Do the two have love? Maybe there is, maybe there is no, and no one can tell.
Zhang Shaoping is so kind to her because she is Zhou Huimin. Even Zhang Shaoping herself doesn’t know whether he loves the three words “Zhou Huimin” or the person Zhou Huimin. Zhou Huimin is even simpler. Zhang Shaoping is the first man to pursue her openly and take care of her and her mother’s food, clothing, housing and transportation. Just because of this kindness, she feels incomparable. Perhaps there is no love, and the two will naturally be together.

the next day.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shaoping arrived at ATV's headquarters, No. 81, Radio Road.
"Hello, sir! Do you have any help?"
As soon as Zhang Shaoping entered the distribution department of ATV, he saw a female employee at the service desk stand up and ask with a smile.
Hearing the woman's voice, Zhang Shaoping immediately knew that she was the female answerer, and immediately smiled and said, "Beautiful girl, I am Zhang Shaoping. The one who called to change the appointment yesterday."
"Oh, it's Zhang Sheng, you!" the female staff member shouted softly, "Come on, Zhang Sheng, I'll take you to the manager's office."
"Please be in trouble."
Zhang Shaoping thanked him, followed the female employee and came to the door of the distribution department manager's office.
The female employee knocked on the door "bangdong", but no one responded. Seeing this, Zhang Shaoping couldn't help but frown. Seeing that there seemed to be no one there. What's going on? It's all agreed, but the owner is not there. This is not like the work attitude of a department manager of a large company.
"Sorry, Manager Xian may have gone to Boss Qiu's office. I'll ask Secretary Ma to help you urge me." The female staff smiled awkwardly, apologized, and walked quickly to the desk next door. Soon, she saw her walking back with an apology.
Zhang Shaoping frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
The female employee apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, Zhang Sheng, the video tape released by our company had some problems last night. Our Manager Xian is now dealing with it urgently."
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoping looked unhappy and said, "What are you doing? The date cannot be carried out, will you notify me?"
"How can we have such a big company as ATV be able to cover everything? Isn't it just a waste of time? What's the big deal? You are a publisher, so you should think that there will be an emergency. It's normal for you to not get the series for the moment."
Before the female staff could answer, she suddenly saw a man wearing glasses coming from the next door and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Shaoping is really unhappy now. Can you say this? It’s so cool. He’s like begging you for your parents. The man in glasses seemed to have not seen Zhang Shaoping’s face change suddenly, and continued: “We went to the distribution company that ATV has entered the films overseas. It’s not just that individuals can be arranged casually, but they can be arranged in place.”
This was a complete slap in the face. It clearly means that Zhang Shaoping is not qualified and is not worthy of their attention. Zhang Shaoping did not have to be angry with him for such a person. He just glanced at him coldly, then turned around and left without saying a word.
