Chapter 1211 It's Not Difficult to Gain the Favor of Elders
Linghua nodded emphatically. "Director Liang, my cousin said the same thing! When I released my first album, I was still young. Although you could hear my songs playing in the square as soon as you went out, and pirated copies were everywhere in the country, many people said my songs were corny, lacked difficulty, and were just pop songs. I was really sad back then, feeling that my musical pursuits were not recognized, and I would secretly hide and cry!"
"Later, my cousin enlightened me, saying, 'You are making music for the people and singing songs for the people! As long as the people like it, that is enough to prove that your songs are good music! It has little to do with the age or education of the audience. Time will prove that the songs I sing are good songs and songs that the people like.'"
Director Liang's eyes lit up with delight, and he nodded repeatedly. "Many of those who say it's not elegant or rustic are just superficial people who can't accept diverse musical forms. Music can be very diverse. They are too narrow-minded and will never achieve anything great!"
"I've observed your singing skills. Your songs are indeed catchy, but not everyone can sing them well! There isn't a single singer in the music scene today who can surpass you. You sing about life, you sing about the vast grasslands, you sing about the boundless sea and sky, you sing about the moonlight in life... In short, you sing about vivid, lively scenes and emotions. There's no sentimentality or affected lamentation... After listening, one feels moved and becomes stronger!"
Linghua was very happy to receive such praise from Director Liang. "Auntie, actually I don't sing that well! I need to study and improve my skills in the future. Also, my diploma is too low. I need to improve it! A vocational school diploma is a bit too low!"
Director Liang immediately assured me, "Whenever you want to pursue further studies, just let me know, and I can make the connections for you! Whether it's the Film Academy, the Opera Academy, or the Music Academy, you can choose any one of them!"
Linghua smiled and said, "For now, I have a lot of business to attend to! I'll deal with these things after I finish what I'm doing now!"
Director Liang really liked the well-behaved and studious Linghua! He couldn't wait for his nephew to marry Linghua so he could introduce all his connections to her.
Although some people still had some doubts, the main person in charge of the Liang family was very satisfied, and that was enough.
They had lunch at the Liang family's house, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. After leaving the Liang family's house, they took gifts and then visited the Fu family's house.
When Madam Fu and Grandpa Fu saw Linghua arrive, they smiled and said, "Liang Cheng, well done! You've won over such a wonderful girl like Linghua; you must cherish her from now on!"
Liang Chengshen agreed wholeheartedly, "Grandma Fu, I will!"
Madam Fu smiled and looked at Linghua, "You two enjoy your courtship, and we elders will take care of the rest!"
Linghua already knew that Madam Fu would be the matchmaker. "Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Fu!"
Madam Fu smiled and waved her hand, "It's not hard work at all. I especially enjoy matchmaking! Especially for a couple like you, who are both so talented and beautiful. I'm happy to help you make it work."
Grandpa Fu asked, "How are Linghua, Meilan, and the two children?"
Linghua replied, "They're all in kindergarten now, and they spend most of their summer vacation there! Summer vacation is coming up soon, and my cousin said she'd bring her kids to visit you in a while!"
Grandpa Fu waved his hand, "I'll tell her later not to bring the child here on such a bumpy journey, after all, the child is too young! After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two of us old folks will go there to spend the winter!"
Linghua exclaimed, "That's wonderful! Fu Ying and Fu Hai will be so happy, they'll be talking about you all the time!"
Talking about their children always makes the two elderly people happy.
Madam Fu invited her to stay for dinner, but Linghua declined. She reasoned that it made no sense for someone visiting in the afternoon to stay for a meal; she was just dropping by.
After leaving the Fu family, Liang Cheng took Linghua to see his childhood friend Chen Qiang.
When Chen Qiang saw Liang Cheng holding Linghua's hand, his chubby face was full of smiles as he congratulated her, "Linghua, hello! I never expected my sister-in-law to be a big star."
Linghua said modestly, "Chen Qiang, hello, just call me Linghua. It's just a job, nothing special. But you, Liang Cheng often praises you, saying you're reliable, honest and trustworthy as a real estate agent, and very dedicated to serving your clients."
Chen Qiang chuckled, "Liang Cheng actually praised me? That's rare! But as for my professional skills, there's no doubt about them. Sister-in-law, you want to buy a house, right? Whatever kind you want, I can find it for you."
Liang Cheng's eyes lit up. Linghua was very good at communicating with others and had no airs. She quickly built a close relationship with her friends, even if it was their first meeting.
Linghua nodded, "Yes! I have my own house here. I want to buy some old houses so I can rent them out. Maybe they'll even get demolished and redeveloped."
Chen Qiang nodded, "There are houses like that! Quite a few, shall we take a look now?"
Linghua agreed, "Okay, take it out and let me see it. I'll discuss it with Liang Cheng."
"Okay!" Chen Qiang agreed. "Please wait a moment."
A short while later, the staff brought over a lot of materials. Linghua and Liangcheng looked at them carefully and found three places that were suitable.
Chen Qiang glanced at it and said, "You have good taste. We might need to meet in person to discuss things beforehand. Sister-in-law, do you have time?"
Linghua shook her head. "No, I can write you a power of attorney to help me buy these three houses. By the way, the house prices... I won't give you a commission. Just go with the current price. How much you can negotiate down, that can be your commission, okay?"
Chen Qiang was taken aback, thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then it's much higher than the agency fee."
Linghua smiled and said, "That's your payment. I can't let you work for nothing. Liang Cheng trusts you, so I'll trust you too. Once you've prepared all the house sale paperwork, I'll bring my lawyer to sign it."
Chen Qiang smiled, "Thank you so much for taking care of my business, sister-in-law. Don't worry, I'll get the house sorted out as soon as possible!"
Linghua nodded. "Thank you!"
Chen Qiang waved his hand, "No need to thank me! It's dinner time now, come on, I'll take you to eat!"
Linghua shook her head, "Let Liang Cheng and I treat you to dinner instead!"
Chen Qiang's attitude was firm, "How can that be? Liang Cheng and I are childhood friends, but he's a top student, while my grades aren't good, and I don't want to join the army, so I can only start a company and do some business! The fact that you came to me proves that you think highly of me! If you need anything or need me to run errands in the future, just give me a call!"
Linghua was very polite, "Then we won't stand on ceremony!"
Since they were all on the same side, Chen Qiang didn't stand on ceremony with Linghua and Liang Cheng. Instead of going to any fancy restaurants, they went to a time-honored establishment. Although the environment was ordinary, the aroma filling the shop made everyone linger.
Chen Qiang asked with a smile, "Liang Cheng, it's been a long time since you've eaten here, hasn't it?"
Liang Cheng nodded, "Yes! I haven't had time to eat here since I started working! I didn't expect this restaurant to still be around, and the food is really good!"
Linghua blinked and asked, "What's the best thing to eat here?"
Chen Qiang replied, "Hot pot mutton! It's different from what you eat outside!"
