Chapter 131 - We Are Both Single (5)

But since Liu Ci said to teach her instant son from time to time, Yan Shuyu still needed to keep her end of the bargain. She had been tirelessly carrying the cello to work during the day time and carrying it back at night. So, for the last couple of days, in addition to the usual piano, there was also a cello sound coming from her house occasionally. 

She ran into the young couple again that morning when she was leaving her house. The girl smiled and greeted her, “Hi, big sister. Are you taking your child to school?”

Yan Shuyu nodded and waved to her in high spirits. “Yes.”

Zhang Yuanjia, standing next to her, also looked up and greeted them with all his cuteness, “Good morning, big brother and big sister.”

“Little cutie is very cute today too.” The young couple patted him on his head happily. The girl scooted over closer to Yan Shuyu, smiled at her, and asked, “Big sister, I think I heard a cello from your place in the last couple of days? Are you teaching that to the little kiddo too?”

Yan Shuyu acknowledged it and asked anxiously, “Were we being too noisy?”

“No, no. You always avoid the time when we’re sleeping. Not noisy at all. Plus, you play the instruments very well.” The girl explained. “I was just impressed. You are so multi-talented. Do you think you can teach me when you have free time?”

Probably realizing that it wasn’t easy for Yan Shuyu to raise a child as a single mother, the girl quickly added, “I will pay tuition.”

As happy as Yan Shuyu was about being praised for being multi-talented, she declined her request after some consideration. She liked money, but now that she wasn’t so poor that she couldn’t afford to eat, there was no reason to break her back over it. 

As Yan Shuyu was turning her down, she didn’t forget to advertise for Liu Ci and his partners. “If you are interested, you can go check out Fengyu Musical Institution. They will have a grand opening next month and should have some promotional activities. Most importantly, all of their instructors graduated from musical academies. You know you will be able to learn a lot from them.”

Yan Shuyu only learned of the magnitude of Liu Ci’s organization at a later time. They opened up both Fengyu and Galaxy Musical Institution. The first one geared toward adult hobby classes and the latter only accepted kids or students in art schools with careers in the fields in mind.

It was very appropriate to refer her neighbor there. 

After hearing her introduction, the girl asked Yan Shuyu for the address of the location as well. Yan Shuyu felt that she would be a potential customer. After they had parted ways, she texted Liu Ci via Wechat to brag about her accomplishment. “I talked up your musical institution to my neighbor today~”

Liu Ci’s response came quickly, “We have activities this weekend. Would you like to bring Yuanbao to join us?”

That was perfect. Both Yan Shuyu and Zhang Yuanbao would love to network with them some more. She switched to voice chat and let the little kiddo come over to reply. The little kiddo said happily into the phone, “Yes! Yes!”

Later on, after Yan Shuyu had figured out the nature of the activities, she asked Manager Yang while asking for the time off, “Will Tongtong be there as well? I’ve heard that there will be a lot of kids there.”

“My sister hadn’t mentioned anything about it. She probably didn’t have time anyway, but I can take Tongtong. She’d be happy when she finds out there Yuanbao will be there as well.”

And that’s how the two of them had happily made plans for the weekend. What Yan Shuyu had never expected was that the boss would be bringing the male lead with him to attend this little activity at the musical institution.
