CHAPTER 1947: CHAPTER 1947: WORK PLAN 3

Feng Qingyun shrugged, "I’ve been abroad for several years, and everything has changed. The position in the cultural troupe that used to belong to me won’t be left empty waiting for me; naturally, some people don’t welcome my return."

The cake is only so big, if she takes a piece, others get less, who would be happy about that?

The competition in this industry has always been fierce.

"Wow, it’s not easy, I thought you wouldn’t see through that!"

Hearing her sister’s tease, Feng Qingyun giggled, "I’m not a fool, how could I not see it? I’ve discussed with Brother Jiaoyang, if the cultural troupe allows me to return to my original position, I’ll stay and sing wholeheartedly."

"What if not? Or if they can’t put you back in your original position?" Before going abroad, Feng Qingyun was a solo performer in the troupe.

"If not, or I’m not satisfied with the new position, I’ll go abroad to develop, and take Brother Jiaoyang with me—Hong Kong is a very good choice. Music is borderless, and over the past two years I’ve managed to make a bit of a name for myself outside." Speaking of this, Feng Qingyun couldn’t help but say, "Sis, it was only after I went abroad that I realized how vast the world is, how prosperous the economy is, and I discovered that I was just a frog at the bottom of a well."

She seemed to realize her words might be inappropriate, and hurriedly continued: "I’m not saying our country isn’t good, I truly hope our country will prosper and flourish, just that I feel our country has been closed off for too long, significantly lagging behind others, and it needs us to contribute to its strength and prosperity. So I think developing abroad is not necessarily bad—once I return with accolades, I can properly repay my motherland."

"Repay? With what?" Feng Qingxue was a bit curious.

Feng Qingyun said seriously, "What the country probably needs the most is foreign exchange, right? Sis, I’ve played small Asian roles in Hollywood and earned between one to two thousand US dollars, filmed movies in Hong Kong as well, a musical film and got a fifty-thousand-dollar paycheck. Before that, with the help of friends, I released an album that sold over two hundred thousand copies, making quite a lot of money. What does it mean? Bringing back this money is foreign exchange, useful for many good things."

Feng Qingxue listened and frowned, "You want to pursue acting?" Getting into the entertainment industry?

She thought her sister would develop properly in the army after returning to the country, but didn’t expect her trip abroad to make her restless.

Of course, there’s no nobility or inferiority in professions, what’s noble or inferior is the heart.

"No, sis, music is my main job. I’ve won many international music competition awards, also been a guest at others’ concerts and musical events. With the help of friends, I’ve held small-scale concerts and they’re well-received. As for acting, I can do it part-time, isn’t that how I did it in the country before? I earned quite a bit that way, supporting myself in music studies. You don’t know how expensive instruments are abroad—shockingly expensive. I bought Fubao a piano, not sure when it’ll arrive. Every time at moments like that, I feel our country’s biggest advantage is low costs, compared to abroad, it’s really ultra-low, no wonder Adrian and others bring back so many things every time they return from our country, including imported goods."

Fubao widened his eyes, "Auntie, you bought me a piano? Like the one in the cultural troupe? At the end of last year, the cultural troupe brought out an old dusty piano, and Teacher Guan helped me practice."
