Li Qian hung up the phone and handed it back to Qi Jie, who couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

  Li Qian simply told her about what had happened at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, which was still ongoing. Qi Jie listened and thought for a moment, blinking her eyes, then said: "There's something I wasn't going to tell you, but now... When I was in Shuntian Fu, I accidentally overheard someone saying that He Runyi's agent is named Liu Mei. That person is very arrogant!"

  Li Qian smiled and said with a hint of intention: "I've seen it long ago!"

  He paused for a moment and then said: "However, He Runqing is still okay!"

  Qijie subtly curled her lips and said, "I heard that He Runqing's new album has received many good works, among which there are several Chinese-style songs, and it is said that they are all of high quality. So Liu Mei should be very confident, and even spread the word in the circle that she plans to clash with Liao Liao again on her next album!"

  Li Qian heard this and chuckled, shaking his head, saying: "I don't know if she dares to touch Liao Liao's next album... they will die a terrible death!"

  Qī jié zhòng zhòng jiān.

  English Translation: Qi Jie shrugged her shoulders.

  Regardless of whether it's Liao Liao or Li Qian, they are obviously people who have reached the extreme point of self-confidence. Of course, they are also extremely talented in their respective fields.

  But Qi Jie is not a music person, to be honest, she thinks Li Qian's works are good to listen to, and Liao Liao's voice is great, especially this new album, when she sings those folk songs, even an outsider like herself can't help but applaud, however... honestly speaking, she still can't appreciate their works like an insider.

  However, precisely because she is an outsider, she can stand on the periphery and watch from a distance, and thus see things more clearly.

  Let's not talk about others, just talking about He Rongqing, Li Qian and Liao Liao have confidence in themselves. But He Rongqing is the queen of sweet songs, the best-selling female singer in the country over the past decade. How can she not be confident?

  So, in the end, everyone is talented, and it's hard to distinguish between them. The only one who has the qualification to make the final judgment is - the market!

  Fortunately, judging from past situations, Li Qian has always been the one who emerges victorious in the market's test!

  …………

  Jinan Prefecture. Inside Li Qian's small house.

  Qijie sat on the sofa, staring blankly at Li Qian who was standing in front of the window making a phone call.

  Yes, from this angle, his figure is really handsome, tall and slender, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, simply the most standard, best-looking type of male body.

  The significance of this figure is - clothes rack!

  Even in a casual outfit, he still looks impressive and charismatic.

  Yeah, as for what Li Qian was saying on the phone... Qi Jie ignored it right away. Because, although he went on and on, Li Qian just responded with "uh-huh" and "ah".

  "...... Yeah, it's already over. Our "Sisters Stand Up" got third place. The subsidiary company is celebrating for us right now. They're all making a racket inside. I just thought of sneaking out to quietly give you a call... Hehe, aren't you asleep yet?"

  "Uh, the company and us are all quite satisfied. The boss said that our style is definitely not to the liking of the organizers, it's just because the song was too popular, they had to give a top 10 golden song as consolation. This time, Liao Liao made a big harvest! Although the best album went to Liu Mingliang, but the first place in the top 10 golden songs, plus the annual best female singer, she's already very impressive! Did she call you? Oh...... She must have called you...... Just wait patiently!"

  "Hehe, you don't care, and we definitely can't either! After all, it's not like she's one of us. We're only famous because of your work, anyway! In front of the fans, we have to put on a tough face, but in front of you, we're just students! By the way, Liao Liao is really impressive - even though she's only a year or two older than us, it's undeniable... not only can't we sing as well as her, but our courage also pales in comparison!"

  "At that time, you weren't present at the scene, so you don't know. Neither He Runqing nor we dared to mention your name, we were all scared. We noticed that after He Runqing finished her award-winning speech, the audience in the auditorium started discussing it. He Runqing's face turned a bit pale at the time, but Liao Liao directly exposed the matter as soon as she went on stage. Our boss said she was directly overturning the table... haha, I think it's very vivid! Hey, you won't hold grudges, right? After all, we didn't mention you either!"

  "Oh dear, okay okay, I know, then I won't tell you, I'll go back and play with them together. By the way... something I've been wanting to say but never had a chance to... Qian Shao, thank you!"

  "Ah, someone's calling me, I'll hang up! Um, um, bye! I'll call you back later!"

  Li Qian's phone had just hung up, and Qi Jie's mobile phone rang. She had just connected it, and Liao Liao's voice was already anxiously sounding, "Hello, hello, baby, why can't Li Qian's phone get through? You quickly go take a look, I reckon eight or nine out of ten he's chatting with that little lover of his!"

  Qijie rolled her eyes, "Are you that nosy? I'm right here! Fine, he's already finished the call..."

  Li Qian hung up the phone, took over Qi Jie's mobile phone, and sat down beside her with a smile. "Two people have already called me to praise you," he said. "Do you want me to repeat what they said?"

  On the other end of the phone, Liao Liao burst out laughing, "What's the point of repeating it? I want to hear you praise me!"

  Li Qian smiled and said, "Alright, I'll praise you... Little girl, you're quite bold, aren't you afraid of being banned in the future?"

  Liao Liao burst out laughing again, "Dare! If they dare to suppress me, I'll get Li Qian to write a song that will stab them in the back! I have Li Qian in my grasp, who am I afraid of?!"

  Li Qian's face was covered with black lines.

  Looking seriously at Li Qian's handsome profile, Qi Jie subconsciously averted her gaze, slowly shifting her buttocks to move herself slightly further away from him.

  Still, she couldn't help but lift her head again and look at that face which she thought was so good-looking every time she saw it, and wanted to gaze at for a while longer - as a Chinese person, you have to say that his profile is how it has lines, how it can make people infatuated just by looking at the side of his face, that's purely flattering, but it can't be denied, this face really does get better-looking the more you look at it!

  Li Qian was chatting with Liao Lishan, while Qi Jie repeatedly lifted her head, looked, looked seriously, gradually became fascinated, suddenly woke up, forcibly turned her head away, but couldn't help but lift her head again to look over... such a cyclical motion.

  Then she suddenly remembered Liao Liao's words from earlier.

  The person who just called should be Xie Bing, right?

  Yeah, after all, Qi Jie is now Li Qian's full-time agent, holding the salary he gave her. Although Li Qian is just a high school student and has not had much contact with the entertainment industry, as his full-time agent, Qi Jie is still very meticulous about her work. She not only found many materials related to being an agent, but also started learning from scratch, even finding some business negotiation textbooks and case studies to study seriously. Moreover, since taking office, she has been accumulating materials bit by bit every day, buying all the newspapers and magazines related to the music industry and entertainment circle that can be bought on the street, reading them carefully while taking notes, and sorting out the various relationships in the entertainment industry that she can grasp. At the same time, she naturally also comes to Li Qian's side every day to report briefly or just chat casually.

  Under such frequent contact, she ran into Li Qian when he was answering Xie Bing's phone call, and it wasn't the first or second time.

  As a girl, she naturally understood at the first time that the girl must have been infatuated with Li Qian, but after careful consideration, she realized that she was just an outsider and thought that Li Qian's songs were good to listen to. She couldn't help but have some thoughts popping up in her mind from time to time, let alone being a professional singer?

  A singing girl will fall in love with Li Qian, isn't it a matter of course?

  Sometimes, Qi Jie can't help but want to attend a class to learn some music, because she thinks that if she could understand more about music knowledge, she would definitely be able to appreciate Li Qian's works even more deeply, and definitely be able to understand and appreciate Li Qian's works from the perspective of a musician like Liao Liao and Xie Bing, and even... become his kindred spirit!

  But every time she thought of this, the last bit of rationality left in her mind made her suppress her thoughts again at the first moment.

  It's already almost mesmerizing now, if I learned music and understood how formidable he is, wouldn't that be even more unbearable?

  …………

  "Teacher Qi... Teacher Qi?"

  "Ah!"

  Qijie suddenly came back to her senses from her infinite daydream, hastily reached out to take the phone, her face slightly red, and asked in a covering-up tone: "Is it over? What did she say?"

  Li Qian smiled blandly and said, "Nothing, just showing off a bit! Oh, right, she said that when it's broadcast, there might be editing, and what she said tonight may never see the light of day for her whole life!"

  Qijie looked at him, seemingly still lost in thought from his earlier reverie.

  She paused for a moment, then suddenly came out with a sentence, "I've been learning to cook recently and have already learned several dishes. How about I cook dinner for you tomorrow night?"

  Li Qian turned his head in surprise, looked at her for a moment, nodded slowly, and then smiled.

  He still had that faint smile on his face and said: "Then I'll wait to taste Teacher Qi's craftsmanship! Please, don't burn it!"

  Qijie suddenly pouted and muttered under her breath, just like she would in front of her parents, "Looks down on people!"

  Li Qian burst out laughing.
