Chapter One Hundred and Ten

  "This will be built, it can be said that it is the most luxurious casino hotel in the world." Allen looked at the renderings and sighed.

  "So whether it can be built or not depends on you all." Fang Mo Nan patted their shoulders, saying with a serious tone, "Work hard, young men."

  "The interior decoration accessories of the hotel need to be customized from domestic companies." Liang Zi stroked his chin, looking at the internal decoration effect diagram. "It seems that the Chinese style is stronger than our first hotel."

  "Of course, we must highlight our national characteristics here!" Cheng Shigui said with a smile.

  "By the way, boss, this building design software is developed quite well. Can you give me the source code?" Allen said thoughtfully.

  "Sure thing! Let's find some professionals to refine it, and we can totally make it into a dynamic 3D effect. If we connect it to a projector, the effect will be even more amazing." Fang Mennai stroked his chin, with a look of dollar signs in his eyes, "We can sell it for a pretty good price."

  "Haha......you're really obsessed with money." Cheng Shigui laughed and said.

  "Of course." Fang Mo Nan said matter-of-factly, "Who knows if our money is enough for such a large project? I don't want to use other funds. Liangzi, your budget is only 10 billion. After the effect map comes out, the handicrafts can be sold, which will be an income."

  "You really don't let go of any opportunity to make money." Cheng Shigui chuckled and playfully tugged on her braids. Her hair now reached past her shoulders, tied up in two buns, and she looked so innocent and lovely that it made people want to bully her.

  Fang Mo Nan saved his own hair, "You guys start acting! I'm going to the hospital."

  Liang Zi and the others watched her leave the room, the three of them exchanged a smile, "She's really full of energy. I don't know how she comes up with so many clever ideas in that little brain of hers."

  Cheng Shigui followed Fang Mosou for a few days like a bodyguard, but didn't find any unusual movements. After the three people assigned their tasks, they went to prepare separately without stopping.

  On a snowy winter day, Aunt and Uncle finally returned with Da Bao and Er Ya.

  "Wow... sister, I miss you so much!" The two little ones were already over a year and a half old, their small mouths exceptionally sweet as they excitedly flung themselves at Fang Mo Nan.

  "Is it because you think I'm delicious?" Fang Mo Nan said lightly, pinching their little nose.

  "Don't mention what they think, I also think." Xiaoyi took off her outer jacket and hung it on the clothes rack, smiling: "This time we've been away for almost a month! They have never left you for such a long time."

  "Yes! He's been anxious to come back and has cried about it. Qi Qiushi said: 'He's been shouting that he wants to see you, and can't be coaxed into calming down.'"

  "Great! It was worth the wait for you guys. Knowing you were coming back, I prepared everything early. The delicious food will be served soon, let's treat our little angel well." Fang Mo Nan stood up from the sofa and headed to the kitchen.

  Auntie went to pack her luggage, Qi Qiu Shi took care of the children.

  Fang Mo Nan inserted the kitchen door, flashed into space, and soon delicious dishes were ready.

  "Ding dong... ding dong..." The doorbell rang, and Qiū Shí stood up to open the door. Outside stood a tall young man, Chinese? He had never seen him before. He tried in Chinese: "Who are you looking for?" His eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance and alertness.

  "I'm looking for Fang Mornan. His fourth brother has arrived." Ye Laosi said with a smile, and in an instant, the vigilance in the eyes of the people in the house disappeared, replaced by a hint of puzzlement as they looked at him.

  "Come on in! I don't think I've seen you before." Qi Qiushi bent down to put away the slippers. Must be a friend of hers! Ye Laosi skillfully changed into slippers and hung his coat on the clothes rack.

  Qiu Shi saw the two little ones in the living room gnawing on toys and immediately stopped them, "What are you two doing gnawing on this dirty thing? Dinner is about to start, are you that hungry!"

  Dabao and Er Ya saw a stranger approaching, shifted their attention, immediately became well-behaved, and curiously looked at the newcomer.

  "Let's eat!" Fang Mo Nan shouted as he put the dishes on the dining table, seeing the person standing in the living room. "Ah! You've come at just the right time. Let's have dinner first and talk later."

  "Better late than never!" Ye Laosi didn't stand on ceremony either, washed his hands and sat down at the dinner table.

  Fang Mo Nan introduced Qi Qiu Shi and Ye Lao Si to each other, and the two shook hands warmly. Although they knew of each other's existence, they had never really met before, and Ye Lao Si had even pulled a prank on Qi Qiu Shi, but had never seen him in person.

  "Alright, let's eat! The two little ones are getting hungry." said Little Aunt as she picked up her chopsticks.

  "Let's eat, let's eat." Qi Qiu shouted.

  "Heh heh...... I've arrived just in time." Fang Mo Bei opened the door and came back from outside, "I could smell the delicious food from far away." She quickly went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and Fang Mo Nan brought out another set of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.

  "Thanks!" Mo Bei said, and then he started eating with big mouthfuls. Xiao Yi and her husband were watching the two little ones while they ate.

  "Hey! I'm surprised. You're always so busy, how come you have time to come back today? I haven't seen you since Christmas," said Fang Mengnan.

  "Oh! I'm going to attend the Grammy Awards." Fang Mo Bei smiled mischievously and casually dropped a bombshell.

  "Grammy Awards? It's pop music, doesn't seem to be your cup of tea!" Fang Mo Nan put down his chopsticks and raised an eyebrow: "You studied classical music, didn't you?"

  "The song I composed, the lyrics you wrote, has been shortlisted for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year!" Fang Mo Bei smiled mischievously as he dropped the bombshell. "It's a surprise, I didn't expect it either."

  "What?" Auntie finally understood, "Is that the famous Grammy Award? The Grammy Awards are an annual music awards ceremony held by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS). The Grammys are considered the 'Oscars of Music'."

  "Yes! And then there's America with its Grammys." Fang Mo Bei said.

  "How could I not remember which song it was." Fang Mo Nan said in surprise, she had written many lyrics, all of which were melodies written by Mo Bei. Nowadays, most of the songs have English lyrics. It wasn't until later when she heard a song playing in the hospital that she found out what Mo Bei had been doing to make money. After asking in detail, she discovered that this guy was even more obsessed with wealth than she was and had started long ago. Mo Bei's one sentence left Fang Mo Nan speechless: "Doesn't look like someone who was brought up by me."

  "It's the song that's being played everywhere on the streets right now," Mo Bei said.

  "I know this one. That song 'I'd give up everything for you'". Little Aunt put down her bowl and chopsticks, turned on the TV, changed a few channels, and soon heard this song, a sentimental ballad.

  The singer on TV, standing in the center of the stage, without the gorgeous stage lights background, wearing a simple and pure white casual outfit. Looks very stylish, blonde hair. Deep blue eyes, tall figure, just this look has won many good feelings.

  A hauntingly beautiful melody. It evokes the tender emotions hidden deep within everyone's heart, with a voice that has great penetrating power and infectiousness. Fang Mo Nan slanted his eyes and said: "No wonder he quickly rose to fame in just over a year, he's a complete overnight sensation."

  "Who is behind you?" Fang Mo Nan asked, with several young people standing behind Xiu Si.

  "Oh! Behind me are drummer Owen, keyboardist Ail, and bassist Joey." Fang Mo Bei introduced: "They were originally a rock band, playing in small bars in New York. They would often perform on the streets." At this point, she laughed, "At that time, Dustin was also an agent, he was the agent of instructor Andres, introduced to me by Thomas. He mainly worked with pop music. Dustin saw Schuess for the first time and didn't say a word, just pulled him away. The three of them followed closely behind, thinking it was a kidnapping! Schuess struggled in the car, but in the end, Dustin had no choice but to bring the other three to the recording studio as well. The recording effect was not bad. The other three young men's sense of rhythm and grasp of lyrics were also good."

  "Destin decided to sign these young men, previously rock style didn't make a name, maybe try walking the light and sentimental route. Under Destin's strong persuasion, they changed their style, and it turned out that old ginger was still spicy, with a keen eye for talent. After the band reorganized, using their original band name (You and Me, Temptation), their first album climbed to the top of the US charts within three weeks," Fang Mo Bei said to You Rong Yan.

  "Look at your smug face, the songs in the album were written by you." Fang Mo Nan said.

  "It was I who wrote it, and you wrote all the lyrics!" Fang Mo Bei said with a smile, "Older sister, there are still several tunes here that need you to fill in the lyrics."

  "No wonder he's been urging me for song lyrics all this time." Fang Mo Nan said while watching TV, "Not bad, let me take a look first. No rush, right?"

  "Hmm! Time isn't too urgent, after the Grammys." Fang Mo Bei said with a blush, time was a bit tight and couldn't be helped, his older sister was also busy to the point of being unable to touch the ground, she didn't dare to rush him either.

  Fang Mo Nan thought for a moment, "Alright, let's hear the tune first!" There was space and time should be enough.

  "Wow! That's great! Thanks, sis!" Fang Mo Bei stood up and hugged her. The two sisters were talking while the others watched TV.

  Xiao Yi listened with a look of intoxication, only lacking the tears and beating her chest to stamp her feet. "I dare say that any woman who hears this song will fall in love with him!"

  Qiu Shi's eyes sparkled and she grasped Xiao Yi's arm, saying: "You've fallen in love with him."

  "What nonsense are you talking about? You're already a mother of children, what's there to love? I'm referring to those American little girls." Little Aunt said with a pout.

  But Qi Qiu was actually worried about it in her heart, and now wasn't the time to ask, she would talk about it at night.

  The men also gradually put down their chopsticks and listened carefully, tapping their hands to the beat of the music.

  "He's called Xue Si? Walker, don't be fooled by his gentle appearance, he's actually very lively and cheerful in life, and is a complete husband-slave." Fang Mo Bei thought of him in everyday life and chuckled. "The couple are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Ah yes, his wife is Chinese, and he has a quarter Chinese blood himself."

  "Ah! He's married." Aunt Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.

  "Shh! This is a secret, don't breathe a word. You know as well as I do that as a pop star, being unmarried is more marketable." Fang Mo Bei said, putting his finger to his lips.

  "How did you two meet?" Fang Mo Nan asked Mo Bei while looking at him.

  "I wrote the song and first let my mentor Andres see it, he thought it was good, then gave it to his agent Thomas, who also thought it was great! So he handed over the score to Dustin, who is also an agent, but mainly develops pop music. After getting it, he was overjoyed, looking for people to sing everywhere, but couldn't find a suitable one. Finally, in a Chinese bar in New York, he saw his performance." Fang Mobei laughed: "You don't know that at the time Dustin heard him singing and was immediately shocked, rushed forward, grabbed him and went straight to the recording studio!"
