Shen Tang did not say anything. In fact, she also felt that what Xixi said was right.
“Alright, let me discuss it with Du Juan later,” Shen Zhanglin still had to think about it.
After all, this was their home where they lived for decades. Unlike his brother, who had been working out of town since young and was used to being away from home, Shen Zhanglin was still reluctant to let go of his hometown if he decided to leave so abruptly.
Shen Zhangqing and Yun Jinping continued to think about the details. They were aware that leaving home was not so simple as there were many things to do and many other concerns as well.
Shen Feng also joined the conversation. In this small town, he could already picture their boring life. He knew that his father was as ambitious as his uncle and would not want to settle.
Everyone wanted to make more money and provide a better livelihood for their family.
Fu Qingxuan was watching the Spring Festival program, but he was distracted. Once he thought of leaving early tomorrow morning, he felt reluctant and sad.
Shen Xi pulled Shen Tang back to their room for a chat.
“No, I’m blind, so how can I join your company? I’ll just get you into trouble!” Shen Tang heard Shen Xi’s proposal and shook her head.
‘Absolutely not! Someone like me signing up with Xixi’s company would definitely bring about all kinds of gossip, which would have a bad impact on her.’
“Sister, I believe in you, so trust me, okay?” Shen Xi looked at her seriously. “Your voice is the greatest gift from God! You like singing and music so much, so why can’t you be a singer and make an album? You need to have confidence in yourself.”
“Xixi, I…” Shen Tang’s voice choked with bitterness as she did not know what to say to her.
She did have this idea before she lost her eyesight, but after she became blind, she dared not think about it again.
“Sister, Bing is blind, but he’s also a great musician! Who doesn’t know him?” Shen Xi held Shen Tang’s hand to give her confidence and strength. “As long as you’re willing, there’s nothing you can’t accomplish. I’ll be with you every step of the way.”
“Xixi.” Shen Tang’s tears streamed down as she spoke, “I know you’re doing this for my sake, but can I really do it?”
“Yes, you can become a singer and your eyes can be cured. Fu Qingxuan’s a medical genius. The doctors at his lab are the world’s best, so they’ll certainly find a way to treat your eyes,” Shen Xi’s voice was very warm and reassuring.
Shen Tang was struggling internally. After a moment, she made up her mind and nodded her head forcefully, then seriously said one word, “Okay.”
‘I shouldn’t live like this. How can I just end my precious life in mediocrity? It doesn’t matter whether I succeed, as long as I try my best, right?’
‘If I tried your best, even if I failed in the end, at least I’ve tried and won’t regret it.’
‘But if I don’t even have the courage to try, I’ll just be a weakling and a coward.’
“Sister, I’m not helping you. You’re helping me! In our company, we lack a great singer like you.” Shen Xi laughed out loud happily. Her eyes were misty as she was happy for Shen Tang’s brave decision.
“Xixi.” Shen Tang reached out and hugged her.
The bitterness and tears she kept buried in her heart all these years could no longer be suppressed. She buried her head on Shen Xi’s shoulder and cried softly.
Shen Xi accompanied her in silence. ‘Just cry… I know that it must have been very difficult and painful for her these few years. She must have been so depressed, suppressing all the negative emotions in the depths of her heart while trying to put up a brave front.’
Shen Tang cried until her eyes were swollen. She stroked Shen Xi’s head. “Our little girl is all grown up now. You have so many great ideas and you’re so capable. I should learn from you.”
Shen Xi laughed out loud. “I’m capable and our company is also great! We’re pretty strict with our artists, so don’t you cry about it when the time comes!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t!” Shen Tang smiled too. She would not let Shen Xi down.
For so many years, the grievance and sadness that had been piled up in her heart seemed to have vanished with her tears.
Next, Shen Tang just had to bid goodbye to her previous life and welcome a brand new life and challenge. She suddenly felt inexhaustible energy all over her body.
Shen Tang was willing to be a contracted singer but under one condition. She did not want the company to know about the real relationship between them because she was afraid that Shen Xi would be badly affected because of her. She also did not want the company to make exceptions for her or treat her differently.
She decided to do her best and rely on her capabilities and efforts to move forward step by step.
Shen Xi also dabbled in music. She wanted to become the world’s top music producer with original compositions, but she could not find the right singer to sing her songs.
She finally found the future Chinese Queen of Pop.
Shen Xi wondered if Big Brother managed to sign Qi Xiu, the singer that she saw potential in.
Qi Xiu was the future of the Chinese music industry. He was a well-deserved and talented Chinese popstar, songwriter, and music producer, topping the charts with his music.
However, at this point in time, he was just a talented and proud bar singer.
The only lead Shen Xi had was that Qi Xiu was singing in a small bar in some city in China.
When Shen Xi went out, she called Fu Qingxuan to the courtyard.
It was still snowing lightly, and a thin layer of snow began to cover the courtyard.
“Thank you,” Shen Xi looked at Fu Qingxuan seriously and thanked him from the bottom of her heart. “You don’t need to be troubled with my sister’s illness. I just need you to provide me with the lab, then you can leave the rest to me.”
“You’re a doctor?” Fu Qingxuan asked her.
‘How should I answer this question? I guess I can be considered a doctor, but I’m more of an alchemist.’ Thus, she shook her head out of technicality. “No.”
“Are you more experienced and skilled in medicine than I am?” Fu Qingxuan asked her again.
Shen Xi thought about it for a moment. In terms of refining medicine, no one could compare to her, but in terms of experience and medical skills, it seemed that would probably be a no. Even so, she could study hard and try to surpass him.
“You’re neither a doctor, nor as good as me, so are you trying to cure your sister based on your hope? Or do you not believe in my medical skills?” Fu Qingxuan pointed at her angrily and mocked her mercilessly. “You haven’t even gone to medical school yet, yet you’re so boastful. If you go to medical school, I think your head will be in the clouds!”
Shen Xi slapped his hand away and muttered, “I’m very capable. You just don’t know it yet.”
Fu Qingxuan laughed and came closer to her. “How are you capable? What are you good at? Are you good at dreaming, or are you good at fantasizing? You can just cure your sister’s eyes just by thinking about it, huh?”
