Shall we meet reincarnation

Rui Xiaodan had booked a flight to Hangzhou at 12:30. In the morning, she made a simple travel preparation at home and then went to the civil aviation ticket office to pick up the ticket. After getting the ticket, seeing that there was still some time left, she walked west along the street and entered a foreign language bookstore. She was deeply impressed by Ding Yuanying's comments on the violin piece "Zigeunerweisen". Although she hadn't bought a stereo yet, she still wanted to get these three records first.In the record self-selection area of the foreign language bookstore, all kinds of CD records were on display. She stopped in front of the imported record showcase, looking for the records she wanted. The salesgirl asked enthusiastically, "Excuse me, what records are you looking for? I'll help you."Rui Xiaodan said, "I want three records of 'Zigeunerweisen' played on the violin, one each by Anne-Sophie Mutter, Jascha Heifetz, and Itzhak Perlman.""Please wait a moment." The salesgirl said and then turned around to look for the records.At this time, Rui Xiaodan felt someone gently touch her arm. Looking sideways, she saw a young man with glasses standing beside her. The young man whispered, "Don't buy them. They're too expensive."Rui Xiaodan looked at him doubtfully.At this moment, the salesgirl handed the three records to Rui Xiaodan and asked, "Look, are these the ones?"Rui Xiaodan picked up the records and took a look. Each record was priced at over 140 yuan. She returned the records to the salesgirl apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. I'll think about it again.""It doesn't matter." The salesgirl said politely and then went to serve other customers.The young man whispered, "I could tell you're an expert when I heard the name of the record. Walk 20 meters west, and there's a small shop called 'Gu Dao Record'. Those who are connoisseurs in this field go there to buy records. You can save dozens of yuan on each record. If you can't find them there, it's not too late to come back here. We all do this.""Thank you." Rui Xiaodan said with a smile. This was the second time she had heard the name of "Gu Dao Record". Even without the young man's advice, she was going to go there because they sold Ding Yuanying's records."You're welcome. It's not easy for anyone to earn some money these days." The young man said, then bowed his head and continued to pick records.Rui Xiaodan thought to herself, "It seems that the hearts of music enthusiasts are connected." She found the small shop named "Gu Dao Record" according to the young man's instructions. Perhaps it couldn't even be called a "shop". It was actually a display window about three meters long rented outside a computer store. It was so small that there wasn't even room for a counter. All the records were displayed on the wall.The shop owner was a man in his thirties, quite handsome, neatly dressed in a suit and tie. The large gold ring on the ring finger of his left hand was particularly eye-catching.Rui Xiaodan stepped forward and asked, "Do you have 'Zigeunerweisen' played by Mutter, Heifetz, and Perlman? If so, I'd like one of each."The shop owner asked, "Do you want the domestically licensed version or the original imported version? The domestically licensed version is in stock."Rui Xiaodan asked, "What's the difference?"The shop owner replied, "The domestically licensed version is 20 yuan each, and the original imported version is over 100 yuan each. There's a difference in price and, more importantly, in sound quality."Rui Xiaodan said, "I want the original imported version."The shop owner thought for a while and replied, "It's out of stock. If you really want them, you need to pay a 50-yuan deposit."Rui Xiaodan nodded and asked, "How much cheaper can it be compared to the foreign language bookstore?"The shop owner said, "At the foreign language bookstore, you can't get these three records for less than 450 yuan. Here, each one is 100 yuan, no bargaining."Rui Xiaodan paid 50 yuan as a deposit.The shop owner gave Rui Xiaodan a deposit receipt and signed his name: Liu Bing. Then he said, "Come back and check in three days. If there's no stock, I'll return the deposit to you."Rui Xiaodan left the "Gu Dao Record" shop, went back to the parking place, got in the car, and drove straight to the airport.

In just two hours of flight, Rui Xiaodan was already in the gentle and beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. Both the scenery and the people in Hangzhou were less rough than those in the north and more delicate.As soon as she got out of the airport, she saw someone holding a sign with "Rui Xiaodan" written on it. She quickly walked over. The person also walked quickly towards her. Rui Xiaodan asked in puzzlement, "I haven't said a word yet. How are you so sure it's me?"The man chuckled and said, "Your dad said that the most beautiful and most elegant one among those in their mid-twenties must be you. And you're walking towards me, so it must be you."Rui Xiaodan smiled faintly and followed the man. They went to the parking lot and got into a Cherokee jeep with a sign of the "Jiang Hu" film crew behind the front windshield. Then the man drove away from the airport.The film crew was shooting an exterior scene by the West Lake. Perhaps because it was a synchronous recording, the onlookers were very quiet. Only a male and a female actor in ancient costumes were speaking their lines, and the cameramen, sound recorders, and other crew members were also quietly busy. Rui Xiaodan saw her father sitting under a sun umbrella, with one foot on a prop box and a water cup in his hand, staring intently at the monitor. It was no different from the scenes of a director working that she had seen on TV. She didn't disturb him and stood far away waiting.From childhood to adulthood, she only knew that her father was a film director and had watched the films he directed. But this was the first time she had seen her father filming on the spot. She quietly observed her father. She felt that her father had aged a lot. There were many gray hairs on his head, his facial skin was loose, and he had gained some weight, but he still looked energetic, wearing a red T-shirt and jeans, looking younger than his actual age of over fifty.After this scene was filmed and the crew members were packing up for the next scene, Rui Xiaodan walked up to greet her father, calling out somewhat awkwardly and stiffly, "Dad."Rui Weifeng looked at his daughter excitedly but didn't show it too much. He said, "Sit down. Your dad has been looking forward to this day. There's a restaurant in Hangzhou that serves authentic West Lake Fish in Vinegar Gravy (a famous Hangzhou dish). Dad will take you there for dinner tonight."Just this one sentence made Rui Xiaodan's eyes moist. Suddenly, she felt that she had been too cold to her father over the years, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.The crew members knew that Rui Weifeng was talking to his daughter, so they all consciously avoided.Rui Weifeng said regretfully, "You're born to be a good actress. If you had applied to the film academy back then, you'd probably be a renowned actress by now. An actor can do another take if they don't perform well, but a criminal policeman won't get a second chance if something goes wrong."Rui Xiaodan said, "Dad, why do you start talking about this as soon as we meet?"Rui Weifeng opened a bottle of drink and handed it to his daughter. After she took a sip, he said, "It's not a good feeling to worry about you all the time. Why didn't you listen to me back then?"Rui Xiaodan said, "I thought about it back then. You're a director. If I went into acting, it would seem like I was relying on you, and I wouldn't have my own identity. Now I earn my own living, and I feel at ease."Rui Weifeng asked, "Is your work okay? Can the restaurant you and Ouyang opened make some money?"Rui Xiaodan said, "It's all okay. This need for money happened suddenly." Then she briefly told her father the whole story of why she needed the money.After listening, Rui Weifeng pondered for a moment and said, "You're... in unrequited love. It should be a good thing, but..."Rui Xiaodan said, "But it's not certain whether he loves me or not. This is hardly what you call being in love. It's just me being unrequited."Rui Weifeng said, "You're not an ordinary girl. The person you like must be extraordinary. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about whether you can handle this kind of man."Rui Xiaodan said, "Handle? I've never thought about it. I just want to be nice to him wholeheartedly."Rui Weifeng nodded and paused for a while, saying, "Oh... This really makes me feel bad. You've ignored me since you were six years old. Where did you have such a big temper from?"Rui Xiaodan asked, "If you'd rather be alone than live with my mom, is my mom that vulgar? If you don't get married because you want more women, what kind of behavior is that? Dad, I'm here to shamelessly ask you for money this time. Even if I have flattering words, I can't say them at this moment."Just as Rui Weifeng was about to speak, a crew member shouted in the distance, "Director, everything is ready!" Rui Weifeng stood up and shouted, "Places, get ready to shoot!" Then he said to Rui Xiaodan, "I'll have someone send you back to the hotel. The room has been booked for you. Let's talk more tonight, father and daughter."Rui Xiaodan watched her father hurry towards the actors.
