It is clear that He Rongqing wants to bring out his Chinese-style works before the majority of people have come to their senses, and before the entire market has been thoroughly awakened.

  And Li Qian's works...are obviously the first choice.

  It's just that she came to Cao Yun and it's okay, even if she personally called Cao Yun, or if she asked Cao Yun for her own phone number and then called over herself. It's estimated that Cao Yun wouldn't be so embarrassed or awkward either, no matter whether it was because of the other party's Jianghu status or their singing skills and reputation. Li Qian obviously had no excuse to refuse either way.

  However, she chose to let her agent take action, and it was in this awkward way of returning a favor that she directly forced Cao Yun to speak up for herself.

  Li Qian understood in his heart: The other side just wanted to ensure a must-win situation!

  Because apart from yourself, no one knows what you are really thinking.

  With Liao Liao's five songs on the charts, he can be said to have made a name for himself in the industry, but he hasn't signed with any record company and doesn't seem to have any intention of debuting.

  And his own contact with Wuxingwusu and Huagechangpian was only for a few days, still in Jinan Prefecture, far from the center of popular music, Shuntian Prefecture, and the news had not even had time to spread out.

  So, who dares guarantee that they won't choose to write songs just for Liao Liao alone?

  It's worth noting that, whether in this time and space or in the other time and space where Li Xian has lived for decades, it's never been rare for an author to write songs only for their favorite singer.

  Artistic people are naturally willful!

  And even if it's your own song that can be sold to anyone, how do you ensure that what you get is your masterpiece? How can you guarantee that it will be a hit in the market?

  So... if the other party doesn't make a move, then nothing will happen, but once they make a move, it's going straight to heavy-handed measures!

  No wonder Cao Yun has been acting strange all day today!

  It's no wonder that Cao Yun, who has always publicly expressed his dislike for any social gatherings, would actually lower himself to attend this seemingly unimportant dinner party!

  It is said that when you need something from someone, you must be polite and courteous!

  Actually, given his and Li Qian's recent friendship, this kind of thing is just a courtesy call. Anyway, it's not like they're asking for free, they'll definitely pay! But he still made a move that was clearly out of character... Apparently, Cao Yun could also guess the other party's intentions, knowing that they wanted to take away an absolutely top-notch Chinese-style masterpiece from him.

  At the same time, he is also very clear that even after Liao Liao's album was released. He may have tried to write this type of work himself, so he knows how good and difficult it is to write such songs!

  One sentence, what the other party wants is this masterpiece, worth a city!

  It's precisely because he knows the weight of it all that Cao Yun is so troubled and torn - even if Li Qian has a work that meets his requirements, who knows whether he wants to leave it for Liao Liao or not?

  Besides, for that style of work, although Li Qian has written a poem "Unfinished Love", theoretically speaking, he should be able to write other works in the same style, but... do you think it's easy to write a masterpiece?

  The human relationships here...are too complicated!

  Of course, he wouldn't understand it at all, and even if he did, it's unlikely that he would believe it - songs like "Unfinished Love" are a dime a dozen for Li Qian!

  Li Qian looked at Cao Yun's gloomy face and couldn't help but say, "After finishing this song, the favor you owe him should be repaid, right?"

  Cao Ting nodded, "Actually, it's not clear yet... I didn't owe her anything to begin with, she just opened her mouth and I couldn't bear to refuse... Moreover, I didn't expect her to be so direct!"

  Li Qian couldn't help but laugh and patted him on the shoulder.

  Everyone is a man, he can understand this feeling.

  Most of the time, women tend to appear more emotional than men, but it's precisely those women who seem more emotional that can easily move on and clean up their feelings quickly. On the other hand, men, especially those like Cao Yun who are extremely proud, often consider themselves romantic even after a breakup, but in reality, they may not have any lingering feelings for the other person. When faced with this kind of behavior from the other party, which shows no regard for emotions, they still can't help but feel a little hurt and a sense of being dealt a blow.

  "It's just a song, I'll give it to you in a few days!" Li Qian said.

  "What she meant by that..." Cao Yun hesitated a bit.

  Before he could finish speaking, Li Qian had already interrupted him and confidently said: "I know, don't worry about telling them, I guarantee it won't be worse than 'Unfinished Love'!"

  Cao Ting nodded, and after a moment of stunned silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a smile on his face that had been knotted up all along.

  Li Qian hugged his shoulders and patted him, with a comforting expression on his face.

  Neither of them spoke again.

  But the scene of two men consoling each other with their shoulders, however you look at it, is just awkward. Because the one comforting and the one being comforted have a kind of strange mismatch!

  After sending away the musicians and recording engineers, Li Jinlong and Wu Xusuo's sisters were about to return to the VIP room and pack up their things when they unexpectedly saw this strange scene at the end of the corridor. Especially the girls, who suddenly looked at each other in dismay, with a strange expression on each of their faces.

  For Cao Yun's big name, they can be said to have admired for a long time. So today when Da Bing was making mistakes in the recording studio, Li Qian immediately called Cao Yun to save the scene. At that time, it already scared them, and what followed was the kind of familiarity between two men with an age difference of almost twice, which made them extremely surprised.

  After getting over the shock, naturally, the soul of gossip is burning fiercely.

  So they stood at the entrance of the box, neither going in nor avoiding it, just whispering to each other there.

  At this time, it was Li Jinlong who came back a step later. As soon as he saw the situation, he calmly instructed: "Everyone take a look and see if there's anything left in the private room. If not, we should also withdraw and return to Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow!"

  At this time, Li Qian and Cao Ting had turned around and walked back, while walking over the two also agreed on which day they would have free time to make a phone call and set a time to go see a movie together - this conversation was getting more and more ambiguous!

  Of course, in the 95th year of the Republic of China, there was no research on "ji qing" (a term referring to a romantic relationship between two men) domestically, and under the country's moral atmosphere at that time, this thing called "ji qing" really didn't have much market value, it was just something to joke about.

  So at this time, Wu Su's several girls were just curious and gossiping.

  After Cao Ting said goodbye and left first, the few people went back to the private room and sat for a while. Then they all got up and went downstairs together.

  Xie Bing was originally walking with everyone, but as they walked, she somehow fell behind and ended up at the back. By the time they exited the elevator and headed out, it had become just her and Li Qian side by side at the rear.

  Looking at Li Qian who was frowning slightly, seemingly thinking about something difficult. Suddenly, Xie Bing plucked up the courage and said: "What's wrong? Is there anything difficult?"

  "Ah?" Li Qian was taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure and asked in confusion: "Embarrassed? What's embarrassing?"

  Xie Bing pointed at his face and said: "You just furrowed your brow like that."

  Li Qian just smiled, but inadvertently saw that at this moment, the few people who were originally walking in front suddenly seemed to slow down their pace - he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to laugh.

  Li Jinlong, who was in front of him, looked down but was clearly listening intently. He thought for a moment and smiled, saying: "Nothing much, just that Cao Ge said he received a call from He Runqing's side, they want me to help write a song, and specifically asked for Chinese style, so... it's a bit troublesome, we're busy with your album recently, not much energy to write new songs! But there's also Cao Ge's face in this matter, can't refuse, sigh!"

  He Runqing sang "Li Qianyue" song?

  Still saving Cao Yun's face?

  Is it Chinese style? Hmm, probably... something like "Unfinished Love" Chinese style?

  This is really big news!

  Li Jinlong's heart skipped two beats instantly!

  As expected! As expected! I knew that with the explosive popularity of Liao Liao's five songs, there would definitely be people coming to Li Qian from all directions, and someone would use various methods to invite him to sing!

  Look! Even Teresa Teng's successor, He Rongyi, has joined in!

  It's hard to say how things will develop in the future, but at least for now, Li Qian's songs are definitely the most scarce and valuable resources in the music scene!

  Fortunately, Huage Music had established a certain relationship with Li Qian before anyone else.

  Two songs have been obtained, and even the demo has been recorded. If the demos of these two songs can get the company's support in the future and finally sign with Li Qian, he will also become the producer of this new album of Wu Xing Wu Su!

  Think about it, even a singer of He Rongqing's caliber, the Queen of Sweet Songs, had to go through Cao Yun's connections to get Li Qian to collaborate on just one song, and yet he and his managed artist Wu Xing Yu Su actually got Li Qian's first production credit!

  If all goes as expected, to ensure the consistency of the entire album's style and tone, next only contract negotiations, as long as the company gives a good price, then next, Li Qian estimates that he will have to write at least three to five more songs for this album of Wu Suo!

  What a big loss of face!

  What a large quantity!

  Especially, through the two works that have been recorded in a small style so far, although the style is quite different from "Determination" and "My Hometown", Li Qian still maintains an absolutely strong production standard!

  Thinking of this, Li Jinlong felt a warmth in his heart, as if he had already foreseen that his music production career was about to usher in a major breakthrough!

  Of course, on one condition... The next production contract must give Li Qian a satisfactory offer!

  As he walked, Li Jinlong stopped a step late, as if he had only just realized it, and turned his head to see that the five girls were already turning around to look at Li Qian, asking about He Runying's invitation to sing in a flurry of questions. He smiled and said: "Our Huage is very serious about this collaboration with Teacher Li, but Sony has extended an olive branch through Miss He at this time, which is a bit unconventional! When I return to Shuntianfu tomorrow, I will definitely mention this matter to our Director Du and Director Huang."

  Li Qian smiled and waved his hand, saying: "You're making a big deal out of nothing! We're all friends, taking some time to help her write a song is no big deal. It's not like it'll interfere with anything important. Besides, who knows if the demos for these two songs will even satisfy your company's leaders? If they don't, I'll be out of a job and can just write a song for Miss He to make some living expenses. That's still easier than working at a bar!"

  Li Jinlong is a personal fine, and Li Qian looks young in appearance, but it's obviously not bad either.

  Li Jian's few words made Li Jinlong suddenly understand, and he just nodded his head without saying anything else.

  It is clear that the other party is fully willing to cooperate with other companies and singers. The current cooperation between Huaguo Records and Wuxingwusu is not an accidental result of Wang Jingxue's relationship.

  But then, it seems that Hua Ge needs to show more sincerity in order to get Li Xian to produce this album for Wu Xing Wu Su.

  Li Jinlong sighed inwardly and thoroughly understood the focus of his mission on this trip back.

  Whether what they said is true or just a deliberate squeeze, it's not that important anymore. What's important is that Li Qian has the qualification to name the price!

  …………

  Outside the hotel, Li Jinlong said goodbye to Li Qian as soon as he came down and explained that he had already arranged for tomorrow morning to take the Wu Su sisters back to Shuntianfu. Then, around the day after tomorrow afternoon, Huage will organize a trial listening of the new album's new style. After finishing these words and bidding farewell, he very sensibly got directly into the car.

  Next, several girls from Wu Xing Wu Su bid farewell to Li Qian.

  Although they had only known each other for a few days, Li Qian's work brought them a turning point in their future prospects. During the process of getting along with each other, everyone discovered that Li Qian's personality was actually quite easy-going. Moreover, when Li Qian guided and directed them, he indeed showed an outstanding artistic level. And, as it happens, Li Qian really looked quite handsome... In short, after just a few days of interaction, their relationship had become very harmonious.

  So when it's time to say goodbye, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

  Fortunately, they just took the collaborative work back to take an exam, and it's likely that they'll be back in a few days. And... young people, even if they're a bit emotional, can quickly get over it.

  Then, after everyone told a few jokes, several girls got on the bus one after another.

  Wang Jingxue originally wanted to stay behind and say a few words, at least some words of gratitude, but she found that Xie Bing was always hesitating, obviously having something to say, so she just glanced at Li Qian and then followed others onto the bus.

  Xie Bing indeed fell to the last place.

  However, when it was just the two of them facing each other, she didn't know what to say anymore.

  The atmosphere is slightly awkward.

  So Li Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, just let them listen to it, I have confidence in my work, and I also have confidence in your singing! Besides, don't worry, the treatment I want is not too high, your boss should agree!"

  Xie Bing heard this and burst out laughing.

  She glanced at Li Qian's bicycle not far away, raised her head, and a pair of bright and affectionate eyes turned on Li Qian's face. Facing his inquiring gaze, she once wanted to dodge, but finally still firmly looked him in the eye and said softly: "Actually, I want to say, next time you come to Jinan Prefecture, can you be my tour guide?"

  "Tour guide?" Li Qian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course I can!"

  Xie Bing smiled and pointed at his bicycle, saying: "I haven't ridden a bike in a long time, can I ride yours next time?"

  Li Qian also turned his head to take a look at the bicycle, and when he turned back, he found that Xie Bing's entire face had already turned bright red.

  He smiled and said, "No problem!"
