Indeed, Jiang Kan himself also recognized this problem.
Although the previous "Chengdu" was so popular, many people actually only went there for the theme song of the official promotional video and did not pay attention to who sang the song, let alone who the songwriter was.
This situation is especially common among middle-aged and elderly people.
Therefore, now he can be roughly classified into the category of "people who are popular in singing are not popular".
This is also the reason why competitors from other companies are not so interested in this newly emerged winner of the November rookie rankings.
In fact, this is just like writing a novel. The accumulation of popularity still depends on one work after another. You can't become fat in one breath.
Fortunately, Jiang Kan's mentality is very stable now. He doesn't think that he, a newcomer, can cause any trouble in the Rookie Championship List in December.
It would be nice to be able to earn a little profit from this, so that one can maintain his life without being too tight.
And, something that allows me to continue carrying songs from the earth with peace of mind.
That's right, in addition to constantly supplementing his music knowledge these days, he has also been dealing with the matter of aiding the construction of Hope Primary School.
In the middle of the week, he had contacted the staff of the Youth Development Foundation and the money had been sent.
The address was chosen in a remote mountainous village in the northwest of Sichuan Province.
This place happens to be located at the intersection of several nearby villages. The primary school is built here, which makes it more convenient for school-age children from the surrounding villages to attend school.
Originally, the staff of the foundation said that they would help Jiang Kan contact reporters for interviews, and also promote the positive energy of his selfless donation to the society.
But first, because I have been really busy lately. It’s really confusing to just enter a new industry and I can’t spare much time for interviews.
Secondly, it was because Jiang Kan was not willing to publicize this matter in a big way. After all, many relatives and friends knew that he had been unemployed for three years, and suddenly he had money to donate to Hope Primary School...
Then these relatives and friends will definitely think, this guy dared to donate 500,000 to build a school after being a singer for 20 days, so does he have more money left on hand?
Then, there will be an endless stream of people trying to borrow money. He had already been troubled when he worked in that IT company, and he really didn't want to go through it again.
Jiang Kan didn't want to suffer this.
As for the third point, it was really out of low profile. He didn't want to give people the impression that he was a pushy person. All good things should be done quietly.
He really did this to clear his mind, not to establish himself as a celebrity image of a philanthropic person.
…
"Dingling bell~"
After waking up from a nap, Jiang Kan's cell phone rang again at a quarter past two o'clock.
"Ah~"
He yawned loudly, picked up the phone, and saw that it was his mother calling!
"Hey, mom~"
He sat up from the bed, sat cross-legged, and said hello easily.
"Hey, Xiaokan, have you finished your nap?"
My mother's kind voice came over the phone. She had always remembered her habit of taking a nap, and when she called, she had just fallen asleep and woke up naturally.
This kind of thoughtfulness still made his heart warm.
"Ha, I'm already awake. What do you want to see me for?"
As soon as Jiang Kan finished speaking, his mother asked questions one after another:
"How have you been this past week? Are you still adapting to the new company? Are your colleagues getting along well? The boss didn't make things difficult for you, right? Does the company have a canteen..."
"Mom, Mom~ Please calm down for a while~"
Jiang Kan smiled helplessly and scratched the back of his head with his right hand.
Even though he is forty years old, in the eyes of his mother, he is still the child who does not understand the world.
He will always care about himself and ask for help.
But even so, his mother's question still made him feel dumbfounded.
"You ask one by one, I can't remember so many questions!"
Jiang Kan's voice had a rare hint of coquettishness.
After all, this is the person who loves him most in the world.
What's wrong with being a little coquettish with your mother when no one is around?
"Haha, okay, then I'll ask them one by one and you tell them one by one."
"Okay, Mom"
…
After more than ten minutes, the question and answer between mother and son finally came to an end.
Jiang Kan only felt more tired than before when he was a sandwich biscuit in that IT company.
"There is one last question, Xiaokan, you have to answer me honestly."
There was a hint of solemnity in his mother's words, and Jiang Kan couldn't help but frown.
"What's the matter? Mom, tell me."
"Have you...been lonely during this time? It's been a little while since the divorce. Do you feel that living alone is uncomfortable?"
The old lady considered her words in her mind again and again, and tried her best to ask in a way that would not stir up Jiang Kan's bad memories.
This was actually the question she wanted to ask the most when she called this time.
A child is better than a mother. She knows that her child is very strong.
That's why I wanted to care about him.
"Hey, Mom, this... is there anything that's not lonely about this? I have a new company, a new career, and a lot of things to be busy with. I go home without touching the ground every day and just fall asleep. Then I have time to think about these things. ...You don’t have to worry about me.”
Jiang Kan was also very embarrassed. In fact, he had occasionally thought about this problem himself.
But the torture of the previous ten years of marriage was enough for him. Although he was occasionally lonely during the past two weeks or so, he was free after all!
With no one nagging in my ears and accusing me of this and that, it’s rare to be able to live such a peaceful life, isn’t it good?
"Hey, you kid, is it wrong for your mother to care about you? I just want to tell you something. One of your Aunt Huang's old classmates has a daughter who is a doctor. She also works in your Chengdu. She is celebrating her birthday this year. Thirty, not married yet. I heard that you are single now and I want you two to get to know each other. You see..."
"mom!"
Jiang Kan raised his voice and shouted to his mother to stop!
"Mom... I really don't need you to worry about these things for me, really! I have only been free for a few days, and you started introducing me to me again..."
Jiang Kan pinched his eyebrows speechlessly to calm himself down.
"I have just started working. How can I have time to fall in love? Besides, this little girl is less than thirty years old and has never been married once. How can she like me, a middle-aged uncle?"
"Mom, please just save it and don't cause trouble for me, okay? I'm begging you!"
Jiang Kan responded to his mother dumbfounded.
"Hey kid, what's wrong with you being so busy that you don't care about personal issues? Also, it was someone who proposed to get to know you. They don't dislike you for being forty years old, so why do you dislike yourself? Who will not experience the age of forty? Who will live less than forty? You are already a singer. I have listened to your songs. Is such an outstanding person not worthy of her daughter? What? What are you talking about..."
The old lady couldn't listen anymore, and started to "accuse" Jiang Kan on the phone like a barrage of not loving himself.
As a son, there is nothing you can do but listen.
With great difficulty, I finally ended the call after more than ten minutes.
Jiang Kan was also ordered to meet the woman once, but whether it would happen or not is another matter.
"Hey, poor parents in the world..."
He shook his head and put down his phone.
