No one knows what happened to Qijie except herself.

  Because of a 20,000 yuan check, she suddenly became a stranger. Whether in class or after class, her eyes didn't even glance at Li Qian again. Even with Liao Liao, no matter how many times he asked, she didn't say an extra word.

  Just when everyone was at a loss, a message suddenly spread: Teacher Qi Jie is going to resign!

  This news has been circulating among many classmates. In less than an afternoon, everyone was discussing it, but in fact, Li Qian knew about this news before they did.

  The day before, when I returned home in the evening, Li's father had already told me about what happened at the teaching office: Qijie wrote a resignation letter, but it turned out that the head of the teaching office was familiar with Qijie's father, so naturally he couldn't let her resign because of her temper. He immediately called Qijie's father on the phone, and then Qijie's father came over to take her away.

  As for what happens next, whether she resigned or not, the teaching office didn't have an accurate statement, but according to Li's father, the Chinese teaching and research group in the third year of high school has already started discussing who will continue to stay in the third year to make up for Qijie's vacancy. It seems that Qijie's idea is quite right, even her parents would find it hard to stop her. However, despite the rumors among teachers and students, Qijie still comes to class every day as usual, it seems that even if she wants to resign, she will wait until after the final exams.

  For this sudden change, Li Qian was very confused and couldn't figure out why Qi Jie suddenly got furious that day. But after all, he really felt that it wasn't his fault. However, no matter who was right or wrong, Qi Jie had just helped him and was his teacher, so Li Qian still expressed his willingness to apologize through Liao Liao. Unfortunately, the phone call from Liao Liao said that Qi Jie didn't respond positively, and even avoided talking about it.

  So Li Qian had no choice but to give up at this point.

  If he knew the reason, even if it was clearly not his fault, considering that the other person was his teacher and had helped him a lot, Li Qian would be willing to laugh it off and apologize voluntarily, which wouldn't hurt his pride. But the current situation was that he didn't even know what the problem was, to be honest, he wasn't even sure if Qi Jie was angry with him or not, Qi Jie's behavior... was simply like a little girl throwing a tantrum. Li Qian wasn't her family member or boyfriend, so there was no need for him to coax her.

  And he has a lot of his own things too!

  For example, studying.

  Regardless of whether there was an agreement with his father, this is the most important thing for him. Reborn, Li Qian has a meticulous plan and detailed arrangement for his own future. Although Liao Liao's sudden arrival seems to have disrupted some established rhythms, in the long run, it is actually still within Li Qian's predetermined plan, so it hasn't brought any real impact.

  And in his own plans, as a high school student, he naturally wants to make the most of his high school life.

  Studying is naturally part of high school life.

  Fortunately, for more than a month now, he has been working really hard. Although there is only one week left until the final exams, his Russian supplementary lessons have started to get on track, and other subjects have also completed a rough review. According to his own calculations, fulfilling the promise with his father is completely without any problems.

  Then sing along.

  To be honest, whether Qijie came or not, and whether she was angry or not, had no effect on Li Qian. He still ran to the rooftop of the teaching building every day under the sweltering weather and the sun that refused to set, practicing for an hour, making his final preparations for what he would do during the summer break.

  For example, of course... composing music.

  The arrangements for those five songs were already completed last weekend, and after Qijie went upstairs, he had actually taken out the arrangement draft and check together, originally intending to entrust Qijie to pass them on. As a result of the check incident, Qijie suddenly became furious and left. For the next day or two, both Liao Liao and Li Qian's emotions were almost completely entangled in this matter. Li Qian then held onto the arrangements for several more days, after repeated careful consideration, inference, and revision, feeling that the five arrangements were already quite perfect, before calling Liao Liao again to ask for her address and send over the arrangements.

  Liao Liao was shocked when he received the phone call.

  She knew that Li Qian was in his second year of high school and it was impossible for him to take time off to follow her to Beijing to compose music, so after they agreed that Li Qian would be responsible for composing the music, she planned to go back and practice the songs first. The summer vacation wasn't far away anyway, and once the summer vacation started, she could let Li Qian come to Beijing. Although Changsheng Records was not a big company, it had all the necessary equipment for composing music, and with a summer vacation lasting 50-60 days, it would be enough time for the two of them to work together to perfect the composition of the five songs. Who knows, Li Qian might even be able to produce the five songs himself!

  But what she never expected was that just a few days later, Li Qian actually called to tell her that he had already finished the arrangement - in Liao Liao's opinion, this was absolutely impossible!

  As far as she knew, Li Qian had only one guitar and nothing else.

  He didn't have a composer's most treasured material library, she didn't even have a piano, and... he didn't even have a keyboard!

  So after receiving Li Qian's phone call, her first sentence was: "Do you have a material library there? Or did you run to which studio to borrow equipment?"

  "Uh... neither, I just made it up!"

  Liao Liao speechless.

  Of course, no need to mention the long-term, even ten or twenty years ago, there was no such thing as a sample library. In China, there were sample libraries, but they were introduced from Japan by Dongsheng Records more than ten years ago, and then became popular in the domestic music circle. So, since musicians could still compose music without sample libraries before, it is obvious that it is possible to complete composition without sample libraries.

  But there is no piano or keyboard, purely relying on a guitar and the impression and feeling of instruments and rhythm in my mind to compose... This is not something that ordinary people can do.

  It's been 10 or 20 years since he became a well-known arranger in the music industry, and with his talent and being extremely familiar with this song, it's possible for him to create such an arrangement.

  As for the familiarity with the song, Li Qian is naturally not a problem, those few songs were written by him! To say talent, talent, and gift, from his works, Liao Liao can't help but question, but it's not that he doesn't believe he has this ability at all, just... As for the experience of arranging music, Liao Liao really can't have any confidence in him.

  It's obvious that his age is only seventeen!

  So, after hanging up the phone, although Liao Liao told Li Qian a fax number to let him send it directly to himself, he was still somewhat disappointed in his heart: she took out such a high price to buy Li Qian's song, of course, with the intention of getting along with this music genius in advance, but what she valued most was undoubtedly Li Qian's original composition. However, it is obvious that a seventeen-year-old, inexperienced composer completed the composition of five songs in just a few days... even if they were his own songs, even if he was extremely familiar with his own songs, it would be difficult for people to have any confidence in such composition!

  So, in all likelihood, he simply cooked it up!

  Arrangement refers to the addition of various harmonies such as instruments, vocals and natural sounds outside of the vocal part, striving to collectively bring out the atmosphere and meaning of a song, and moving the listener in the process.

  So it can be very complicated, but also very simple.

  Even the simplest accompaniment, the ancients had a saying "knocking on the bowl while singing" - taking a pair of chopsticks and tapping on the wine bowl in rhythm to accompany the song, can be considered as composing music. So think about it, how simple can composing music be?

  Liao Liao was naturally disappointed about this.

  She didn't expect Li Qian to create a particularly good or classic arrangement for herself, after all, arranging is different from writing songs. Writing songs requires talent, emotion, passion and inspiration, but arranging also requires passion, inspiration, talent and so on, however the basic requirements are even higher.

  A good arranger, in addition to having a deep understanding of the song and accurately grasping the emotions contained within it, must also be extremely familiar with various instruments and vocal parts. Only then can he work freely in arranging!

  This point is obviously something that 17-year-old Li Qian cannot possess, so what she values most about Li Qian's composition is actually his grasp of the song's emotions - with his version as a foundation, on the one hand, it can help Liao Liao more accurately grasp the emotions of this song, and on the other hand, it can also greatly facilitate the work of this subsequent successor.

  But... what a pity.

  Yes, she really thinks it's a pity.

  It's not a pity for spending so much money, but it's a pity that I lost the most referential version of the arrangement.

  When Huang Wenjuan finally brought a stack of documents over to the fax machine at the company, she couldn't help but feel somewhat unenthusiastic. As she took them and began to look through them, her mind was also somewhat preoccupied.

  The first one she saw was the score of "Dedication".

  This arrangement is... really simple after all.

  Even more so, the first half is almost entirely reliant on guitar... Although such an arrangement actually subtly matches Liao Liao's own feeling, that is simplicity, freshness, and relying solely on the singer's vocals to continue the momentum, brewing for the explosive second half. But perhaps because of the disappointment earlier, Liao Liao looked at this simple arrangement and naturally already had some dissatisfaction in his heart.

  It wasn't until she patiently read through the entire score, closed her eyes to savor it again, that an astonished expression involuntarily appeared on her face.

  And the second song "Cheers, Friends" seems to have a simpler arrangement, but after careful consideration and adding one's own voice in imagination, her astonished expression becomes even stronger.

  It was already past six in the afternoon, but the artists from the record company were not used to following ordinary working hours. Even at night, there were still many artists busy with their own affairs in the company. So, Liao Liao immediately called his assistant and went straight into the usual recording studio.

  And in the next two days, with the help of a mixer at the company, she quickly made all of Li Qian's compositions one by one, and took them back to listen repeatedly - the more she listened, the more she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

  Before long, amidst the astonishment of many people, the arrangements for these five songs were unexpectedly settled.

  She didn't even go to change a single accompaniment or even a note!

  Just as Liao Liao was bearing the pressure of the entire company and the implicit dissatisfaction of producer Zhao Mei Feng, forcing the arrangement of those five songs to be finalized, Cao Yun's new song arrived!

  So Liao Liao's album production suddenly accelerated, and it only needs to wait for Liao Liao to practice the new songs that have arrived, and then enter the final stage!

  That's it, recording!

  At this time, Li Qian's first semester exam since his rebirth has also arrived as scheduled!
