The Queen Travels to the Modern Times

Chapter 134 Turning Point

Li Li sat at her desk, staring at the computer screen with empty eyes, feeling confused. She had been working in this company for three years, and she was tired of the repetitive work day after day.

She knew she wanted to change jobs, but when she thought about the future late at night, she didn't know what she could do. She didn't have any particularly outstanding skills, nor did she have a clear direction of interests and hobbies.

In order to find inspiration, Li Li began to attend various professional lectures and training courses. At a lecture on the creative industry, she met a freelance photographer by chance. The wonderful shooting experiences and stories behind the photographer deeply attracted Li Li, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

Li Li began to try to learn photography, bought a camera, and used her spare time to take photos everywhere. At first, her works were not outstanding, but she did not give up. Gradually, her photography skills improved significantly.

Just when Li Li was overjoyed and felt that she had finally found a new direction, an accident put her in a difficult situation. When she was shooting an important work, her camera suddenly broke down, causing all the photos to be lost. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

However, just when she was feeling discouraged, the photographer she had met before reached out to help her. The photographer not only helped her restore some of the photos, but also introduced her to some people in the industry.

After this series of twists and turns, Li Li finally made up her mind to pursue photography. She resolutely quit her original job and devoted herself to the photography career, gradually emerging in the field of photography.

Li Li has been passionate about art since she was a child, but after graduation she accidentally entered a financial company. Faced with boring data and intense pace every day, she felt that her soul was gradually withering.

By chance, she participated in a photography exhibition. The emotions and stories contained in those photos deeply touched her. At that moment, she decided to follow her inner voice, resolutely quit her financial job and devoted herself to the photography industry.

However, everything was not as smooth as she imagined. At first, she couldn't even master the basic photography skills, and no one was interested in her works. Friends around her advised her to give up, saying that she made a wrong choice in the moment. But Li Li had a spirit of not admitting defeat in her bones. She studied day and night, and kept practicing and trying.

After countless failures and setbacks, Li Li's skills gradually improved. She began to try shooting different subjects, from natural scenery to portraits, and she went all out in every shot.

Just when she thought her career was about to take a turn for the better, a sudden disaster struck. She encountered a rainstorm while out shooting, which damaged her equipment and made her seriously ill. Lying on the hospital bed, Li Li felt extremely desperate and even began to doubt her original decision.

But fate always surprises people at the most critical moment. During her recovery, a series of works she had taken before, reflecting the lives of people at the bottom of society, unexpectedly became popular on the Internet. This series of works touched the hearts of countless people with its unique perspective and delicate emotions.

All of a sudden, all major media reported on her and invited her to participate in various activities. Li Li did not expect that she could be so outstanding in the photography industry. It seems that she made the right choice to change jobs. From then on, she went further and further on the road of photography, telling touching stories one after another with her lens.

Li Li has always had a dream, which is to hold her own photography exhibition. The camera in her hand is her eyes to see the world, and every time she presses the shutter, it is a passionate dialogue between her and life.

For this photography exhibition, Li Li carefully selected the works she had taken over the years. There are flowers blooming in the morning light, with the delicate dewdrops still rolling; there are old people and children in the streets and alleys, with their smiles and wrinkles full of stories; and there are those ancient buildings under the afterglow of the sunset, with every brick and stone telling the vicissitudes of time.

She excitedly invited many friends to attend, and they all agreed and looked forward to this visual feast.

However, just one day before the photo exhibition was about to open, a sudden storm swept the city. The roof of the warehouse where the photographs were stored leaked, and many works were soaked by rain and severely damaged. When Li Li rushed to the warehouse, her heart was broken.

But she did not give up, and she and her friends worked overnight to rescue the works that could still be repaired. Everyone worked together, some helped to wipe off the water stains, and some carefully repaired the damaged pictures.

Finally, the photography exhibition opened as scheduled with everyone's efforts. People were moved by Li Li's works. Those photos that had gone through the baptism of wind and rain seemed to contain deeper emotions and power. Li Li also understood that there might be wind and rain on the road to dreams, but as long as there is love and persistence, there will definitely be a gorgeous rainbow.

Li Li stood in the exhibition hall of her photography exhibition, looking at the carefully arranged works, her heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. However, what she wanted to do most at this moment was to go home and see her parents. She had not seen them for too long.

Recalling how she had been running around day and night for this photography exhibition, Li Li couldn't help but sigh at how time flies. She packed her things and set off on the journey home. Along the way, she felt both excited and a little nervous.

It was already evening when she got home. The familiar courtyard and the smell of food instantly made Li Li's eyes red. Her parents heard the noise and came out of the house, their faces full of surprise and love.

The family sat around the dining table, talking and laughing, but Li Li always felt that her parents were hesitant to talk.

The next day, when Li Li was tidying up her room, she accidentally found a medical record with her father's name on it. It turned out that her father had a serious illness some time ago, but he had kept it a secret from her just to avoid distracting her.

Li Li burst into tears, she blamed herself for being careless, for only pursuing her dream and neglecting her parents' health. At that moment, she decided to put down her work and spend some time with her parents.

Li Li sat in front of the window, looking at the green peanut field outside, and made a decision in her heart. She thought of her parents working hard every day, and thought that she would leave home soon, so she would help as much as she could.

The next day, Li Li got up quietly at dawn, washed up briefly, and went to the peanut field with her tools. The morning breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. She bent down, grasped the peanut vines with both hands, and pulled them hard, and peanuts with the fragrance of soil appeared before her eyes one by one.

The sun gradually rose, the temperature became hotter and hotter, Li Li's clothes were soaked with sweat, but she did not stop. At this moment, Li Li suddenly heard an urgent shout, it turned out to be Uncle Wang next door. Uncle Wang said anxiously: "Li Li, your parents had a car accident on the way to the market!" This news was like a bolt from the blue, Li Li dropped the peanuts in her hand instantly, and she ran towards the accident site desperately.

When Li Li arrived at the scene and saw that her parents only suffered some minor injuries, she was relieved. Her parents looked at her with concern and said, "My daughter, I'm sorry to have worried you. Let's not harvest the peanuts anymore and go home." But Li Li said firmly, "It's okay, Mom and Dad, we can finish it together soon." After this accident, the family became more determined to rely on each other, and finally harvested all the peanuts before sunset.

Li Li returned to her hometown in the countryside from the big city. It was the peanut harvest season. Looking at the piles of peanuts in the yard, she knew that her parents had worked hard for another year.

Li Li decided to help her parents sell the peanuts before returning to the city. She began to ask around, searching every corner of the village and asking many acquaintances, but the answers she got were not ideal.

Just when she felt a little desperate, by chance, Li Li heard a conversation between two vendors at a market in a neighboring village. They were talking about the need for a large number of peanuts, and Li Li was delighted and hurried forward to talk to them.

However, the two vendors were notoriously shrewd and demanding. The price they offered was far lower than Li Li's expectations, so Li Li argued with them and started a fierce bargaining with them.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a mysterious old man suddenly came. After hearing what happened, the old man took the initiative to offer to buy the peanuts from Li Li's family at a reasonable high price. It turned out that the old man had received help from Li Li's parents and had always wanted to repay them.

Finally, the peanuts were sold successfully, and Li Li set out on the journey back to the city with satisfaction.

Li Li rushed back to the company in the city after dealing with an urgent matter in her hometown. As soon as she entered the company gate, she felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual. Her colleagues were in a hurry and looked nervous. After asking around, she found out that an important client was coming to inspect the company and the company was preparing to launch a photography course.

Li Li's heart tightened, fearing that she would miss some important work arrangements. Unexpectedly, after learning that she had returned, her boss arranged for her to attend this photography class without saying anything. Li Li was excited but also a little nervous, after all, she didn't know the specific content and requirements of this course yet.

In the photography class, Li Li found that there were not only employees from the company, but also some well-known photographers in the industry. The course content was rich and practical, from photography skills to creative ideas and post-processing, every link made Li Li fascinated.

However, when the course was halfway through, an accident happened. The originally scheduled practice shooting site could not be used due to an emergency, and everyone fell into anxiety. Li Li suddenly had an idea and thought of a beautiful scenic spot near her hometown in the countryside. She immediately made suggestions to the teacher and the leader, and everyone decided to temporarily change the shooting location.

When they arrived at the place recommended by Li Li, everyone was shocked by the beautiful scenery. In this unexpected shooting location, Li Li performed at an extraordinary level, and her works were highly praised by clients and teachers. In the end, because of Li Li's outstanding performance, the company successfully won an important cooperation project with the client, and Li Li also emerged in the company and ushered in a new peak in her career.

When Li Li first joined the company, she was just an unknown clerk. She had a passion for photography but never had the opportunity to show it.

By chance, the company needed to take promotional photos for a new product, but the colleague who was originally in charge fell ill, so the task fell on Li Li. She was nervous and excited, and took her own camera and devoted herself to the shooting.

Unexpectedly, the photos she took turned out to be surprisingly good and received high praise from the client. From then on, whenever there was a photography-related job in the company, the boss would first think of Li Li.

Li Li lived up to expectations and completed her tasks brilliantly every time. Her work was not only highly praised within the company, but also caused a small sensation in the industry.

However, as Li Li's fame grew, some jealous voices appeared in the company. Some people said behind her back that she was just lucky, and some people deliberately made trouble for her work.

But Li Li was not defeated by these difficulties, she still treated every photo shoot with heart. Until one day, the company received a very important project, and the partner had very high requirements for photography.

Li Li devoted herself to the project and carefully planned every detail. But just when the photo shoot was about to be completed, she discovered that the hard drive storing the photos was damaged and all the data was lost.

Li Li was extremely anxious, and everyone thought she was going to mess it up this time. But Li Li did not give up. She relied on her memory of the shooting scene and her solid photography skills to complete the shooting again in a very short time, and the effect was even better than before.

From then on, no one questioned Li Li's ability anymore, her position in the company became more stable, and she was filled with endless gratitude for her boss's appreciation.

Li Li has been working in this prosperous city for many years, and finally saved some money after hard work. Looking at the small rented rooms, she knows that renting a house is not a long-term solution.

Whenever night falls, the noise outside the window comes into Li Li's ears through the not-so-tight window, and a firm determination surges in her heart - she must have her own house.

So, on a sunny weekend, Li Li embarked on a house-hunting trip. She traveled to every corner of the city and looked at one house after another. Some houses were in good locations, but the prices were ridiculously high; some were reasonably priced, but the houses were shabby.

Just when Li Li felt a little discouraged, she accidentally discovered a house hidden in the old city. Although the appearance of the house is a bit old, when you walk into the house, you can feel a unique warmth.

However, when Li Li was ready to buy the house, she was told that there was a property dispute over the house. It turned out that the original owner of the house had passed away long ago, and his children were fighting over the property.

Li Li did not give up easily. She ran around, consulted lawyers, collected evidence, and tried to solve this thorny problem. Just when she felt exhausted, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

A distant relative of the original owner stepped forward and produced a key will, proving that the house should be sold to someone who really needed it. In the end, Li Li successfully bought the house and finally had her own warm harbor in this city.
