Wednesday, July 20th, morning.

  Hua Music Records, General Manager's Office.

  Huang Dazhong stared at the Golden Melody Chart on "Artist Weekly" with a look of shock, seeing that row after row was filled with "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou", and couldn't help but let out another sigh, raising his hand to knock on his own forehead.

  All nine songs on an album are on the charts. What more can be said about the sales of this album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" next week?

  It's hard to say whether it can continue to break 30,000 copies in a single week, after all, there is no precedent for breaking 30,000 copies for two consecutive weeks. When Wu Su was at its peak, it only broke 30,000 copies in one week, but it will definitely not be a problem to continue selling over 20,000 copies in the third week after listing!

  And in fact, this is already strong enough!

  If we consider Liao Liao as a typical powerful female singer, even if the album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" can't hold on for six consecutive weeks with sales of over 20,000 copies, the long-term sales estimate won't be worse than "Sister Stand Up". Because Liao Liao's albums can sell well in the long run! In this regard, Wu Xing Wu Su is far inferior.

  Just... The more popular 《Tao Sheng Yi Jiu》becomes, the more it will squeeze out 《Rang Wo Fei》!

  And the more popular "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" becomes, the more it will cost to poach Liao Liao! If you add Li Qian's lyrics and production on top of that, the cost... just thinking about it makes my heart ache!

  But circumstances are stronger than people!

  After some thought, Huang Dazhong still pressed the intercom button and called in the secretary from outside.

  As soon as he came in, he asked: "Has the sales and shipment volume of the album 'Sisters Stand Up' been counted recently?"

  The secretary was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said: "It just arrived. You said not to disturb you earlier, so I didn't knock on the door. Should I go get it now?" Seeing Huang Dazhong wave his hand, he hastily went out and brought in a document, handing it over to Huang Dazhong.

  Huang Dazhong took it over and looked at it, nodding slowly and letting out a sigh.

  The album "Sisters Stand Up" had already sold over 6 million copies by the end of June. Initially, it was certain that the sales would not exceed 5 million copies, but due to the hype surrounding the three major female vocalists' competition in the previous period, many fans who couldn't buy the new album began promoting Wuyi's past albums to their friends and family. Recently, after being disappointed with Wuyi's new album, some people started promoting this album again. As a result, by July, this album, which had been on the market for over half a year, suddenly saw an increase in sales again, with over 800,000 copies sold from July to now.

  It can be basically confirmed that this album has broken 5 million!

  He thought for a moment, picked up the phone receiver next to him, dialed a number, and when the other end answered, he said: "I'm Huang Dazhong. Your finance department is preparing a sum of money, 54 million yuan. Once it's ready, transfer it to Li Qian's account! Right? Don't you know who Li Qian is? Hmm, no need to wait, give the money first, and then we can talk, do I still need to teach you this principle?"

  He paused for a moment, furrowed his brow and said: "Pay the money!", then hung up the phone with a bang.

  At this time, his secretary was still standing in front of the office desk, neither daring to leave nor speak.

  Huang Dazhong waved his hand at him. After he went out and closed the door, he pulled open a drawer and took out a small notebook, flipping through several pages. He found a phone number and then picked up the phone again.

  The number was dialed out and the ringing sound lasted for a while before it was picked up on the other end, "Hello. I'm Qi Jie!"

  Huang Dazhong raised his hand to touch the hair on top of his head, swaying back and forth, and smiled: "Hello Miss Qi, I'm Huang Dazhong from Huage Records."

  On the other end of the phone, there was a brief pause before she said: "Oh... Ah, hello, Director Huang! I'm Qi Jie, Li Qian's agent. Sorry about that, I didn't know this was your number!"

  Huang Dazhong chuckled and said, "No big deal, no big deal! Hehe, that's right, Miss Qi. I don't have Jian Shao's phone number here, so I'll just give you a call. Oh, no big deal, it's just that previously we worked with Jian Shao on an album called 'Sisters Stand Up', hehe, and now its sales have broken 5 million! Hehe, our Huage is always very efficient in doing things! That's why I've already arranged for the finance department to transfer money to Jian Shao's account!"

  At this time, Huang Dazhong couldn't see that Qi Jie had already made a face on the other end of the phone, and only heard that the other end seemed to be stunned again, and then Qi Jie's voice came back, "Ah, thank you, Mr. Huang, thank you! Hua Ge is indeed trustworthy! Uh, it's just... it seems like the Recording Association hasn't issued a public notice yet? You're really sure you've already sold over 5 million? Don't make a mistake!"

  Huang Dazhong heard this, his mouth twitched slightly, but he still smiled and said: "How is that possible! I have reports here, the data from the Recording Industry Association will be a bit late! Hehe, but what are we waiting for them? This can't be wrong, if it's past then it's past! If it's past, then they'll have to pay! You say isn't that right?"

  On the other end of the phone, Qi Jie repeatedly said yes and thanked him again and again.

  He paused for a moment, and Huang Dazhong asked with a smile: "That, I don't know where Jian Shao is now? Is it convenient to help me make an appointment? Hmm, it's like this, I think some things before made everyone unhappy, this is our decision-making mistake, after all, it's my responsibility as the general manager for not being able to withstand the pressure from below! Alas, since things have come to this point, I want to meet with Jian Shao and chat with him to clear up misunderstandings... Ah? He's not by your side? Oh, so he is now... Ah? You don't know where he is either?"

  "On the other end of the phone, Qi Jie replied in a crisp tone: 'Li Qian had said he wanted to go out and play during the summer vacation. After the college entrance exam was over, he didn't even wait for his scores to come out before driving away on his own. So, Huang Zong, I'm really sorry, but now I can't even find him myself!'"

  Huang Dazhong stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, "Oh......oh......" It took him a long time to come back to himself, "Is...that so!"

  "On the other end of the phone, Qi Jie said again: 'How about this? As long as I get in touch with Li Qian, I'll immediately tell him your intention. What do you think? Hello, Director Huang, Director Huang?'"

  "Oh, oh......" Huang Dazhong hastily responded with a "yes", "Alright, alright, thank you then!"

  Then he said a few more words and hung up the phone on his end.

  Listening to the "beep... beep..." tone coming from the receiver. Huang Dazhong forgot to put down the receiver for a long time.

  Li Qian actually went out for a trip?

  What was he thinking, after finishing the college entrance exam, Liao Liao was about to release his new album "Wu Xing Wu Su", but he actually went traveling right after the exam? Doesn't he worry at all?

  Why don't you hurry up and come to Shuntian Fu to calm things down? At least he shouldn't have lost contact directly?

  This... this... is also too confident, right?

  Or it's also underestimating the production capabilities of Chinese record labels?

  Is he so confident? Confident that the results of two albums have not yet come out, and already certain of victory?

  Is he really so carefree?

  To be honest, even on the sales charts, Wu Xing Yu Su has been beaten by Liao Liao to the point of falling two ranks. Huang Da Zhong is heartbroken and regretful, but it's only because he didn't get the 2% share from Li Qian earlier, which made the company lose a lot of money, and also lost an important pillar. However, he doesn't have the feeling of being truly defeated, so there's no sense of defeat.

  But now, when Li Qian's agent hung up the phone, he held the receiver that was still making a "beeping" sound in his hand, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. His face also turned pale without realizing it.

  It was unclear how much time had passed before he slowly came back to his senses, and with a flick of his hand, he hung up the phone.

  Then, with a face as pale as death, he unknowingly let out another sigh.

  "You're really something!"

  "You're ruthless!"

  …………

  Liu Mei stopped the car and sat there for a moment before getting out.

  She looked up and found that He Runqing was already standing at the door waiting for her, so she squeezed out a smile and quickly walked over. "I'm not a guest, why do you still need to wait at the door for me, it's so hot outside!"

  He Runqing smiled as usual and didn't say a word, letting her in.

  Outside is scorching hot, but the central air conditioning in the villa is on. It's extremely cool.

  The two of them walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, where He Runqing's family nanny quickly brought over a glass of fruit juice.

  Liu Mei thanked him and then sat down on the sofa, lowering her head and saying nothing.

  He Runqing's home attire was somewhat thin, but she was a natural clothes rack, and anything she wore looked particularly stylish. At this time, even with just a small T-shirt and loose-fitting shorts, her hair was casually tied up on top of her head, yet she still exuded a gentle and elegant demeanor, like a refined young woman who had just gotten married.

  "Hasn't it been quiet lately? Why did you come over specially?" she asked.

  Liu Mei lifted her head, her face a complex mix of emotions that couldn't be described as either shock or confusion, and also slightly tinged with shame. After a moment, she spoke up: "Run Qing, I'm sorry, was this my fault?"

  "Huh?" He Rongqing looked at her in confusion, and after a moment, suddenly smiled, "What's wrong with you? What's going on now? Did you do something wrong?"

  Liu Mei finally looked at her and said, "Don't you know this week's Golden Melody Chart?"

  He Runqing was taken aback, "I know, Liao Liao's bloody sweep of the charts, nine songs simultaneously on the charts, only Hu Yang's 'Du Qian Shan' is still holding on, otherwise she would have completely occupied the entire chart. But... what's wrong? Is this related?"

  Liu Mei lowered her head again, and after a moment, she said: "Although it's still hard to understand why he's so fierce, so fierce to this extent, but looking at this ranking list, looking at Liao Liao's album sales, I have to admit that in the past... uh, in the past, I was indeed blind, and I was too arrogant."

  He Rongqing looked at her with some surprise, knowing that Liu Mei was a very proud woman. She really didn't expect to hear such words from her mouth one day. After being stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but say: "Ah, it's not that serious, actually the main reason is that my heart isn't firm enough. I've had ideas for a long time, but I always thought I was quite famous, so I couldn't put down my airs and that led to just talking about it without doing anything. You don't have to blame yourself like this, look, although we were beaten by Wu Xing Yu Suo and Liao Liao, the sales of "Ku Zhu" are actually not bad. Compared to the last album, it's not much different, right? Don't think too much about it!"

  But Liu Mei heard this and lifted her head, "Run Qing. I must apologize to you! Last time I went to Ji'nan Prefecture, I represented you in meeting Cao Yun and Li Qian. Yes, what Cao Yun said was right, my attitude when speaking with them was not quite right. And afterwards, thinking back, I also felt that some of the things I said might have been wrong, possibly making both Li Qian and Cao Yun angry. So... actually, after I came back and told you, I lied to you! Run Qing, I'm sorry!"

  She stood up and bowed silently.

  This time He Rongqing didn't say anything else, he just quietly looked at her.

  A moment later, when Liu Mei finished her bow and sat back down. She slowly opened her mouth to ask: "Are you saying that the last time was really because of something you said that offended them?"

  Liu Mei nodded slightly and fell silent with her head bowed.

  He Runqing suddenly sighed and helplessly raised his hand to cover his forehead.

  Her career is indeed on the decline, perhaps before this, it was just a sensitive feeling in her own heart, but now, with the sales of "Fen Xing" and "Ku Zhu" continuing to slide, this trend has become more apparent. Moreover, this seems not to be due to her own reasons. It's just that sweet songs seem to be gradually going out of style, no longer liked by young people, who are starting to turn to Liao Liao, liking the kind of youthful and energetic songs sung by Wu Suo.

  So, as long as she doesn't want to decline and wants to continue being popular, she must transform, and it can't be like this album "Ku Zhu" which is half-transformed and half-not. She can't just think about pleasing both sides. The transformation has to be thorough. Only then can she keep up with the times, avoid being eliminated, and continue to be popular.

  As for money, after being in the red for ten years, she actually didn't lack it anymore. She was a Hunan girl who came out of the mountains and had never been one to indulge in luxury. So, all the money she saved up over the years was enough for her to live a comfortable life for several lifetimes.

  Even if she's on the decline, He Ruyin is still He Ruyin, her Sweet Song Queen brand is still there, and fans who like sweet songs are not few in number. Even if she doesn't release new albums anymore, every few years she can put out a greatest hits collection or something like "new song + greatest hits" and still deceive many old fans into buying it back to treasure, and make a lot of money.

  So it's really not about money anymore.

  She just wants to continue being popular, she just wants to be popular all the time!

  She likes that kind of red all over the sky, wherever she goes, it's a feeling of being on top of people!

  In the past, when she was at the peak of her career, she had thought that even if she persisted until she was 40 years old and semi-retired to enjoy life, it would be great!

  But who would have thought that just as she was approaching her thirties, she began to decline.

  So she was unwilling to accept it.

  She also wants to continue being popular.

  So, you want to be famous, what should you do?

  There is already a reputation in the industry, and her own intuition is also telling her: Want to be famous, find Li Qian!

  As long as Li Xian is willing to stretch her hand, she confidently relies on her own singing skills, voice, and appearance that has not seen decline at all, and it's no problem to be popular for another ten years!

  But at this moment, she felt that flattering and bootlicking were not enough, but Liu Mei had really offended the other party so much!

  But ironically, Liu Mei is her agent, and every word and action represents her attitude!

  What will people think?

  At this time, carefully recall the phone call from Cao Ting at that time, and compare Li Qian's attitude before and after Liu Mei went to Jinan. What else didn't she understand?

  When Liu Mei raised her head, she saw He Runqing's worried look.

  After a pause, she said: "However, Runqing, don't worry, I will take responsibility for what I have done. I'll contact Li Qian's agent right away and go see him to apologize in person! As long as he can forgive you, even if he doesn't forgive me, I'm willing to kneel down and apologize!"

  He Runkui was startled and quickly waved his hand, "Not at all!"

  Jokes aside, flattering is just flattering, and trying to get close to someone is just that. Even if Liu Mei had offended the other party severely, she could have gone to apologize herself without any issues. However, if Liu Mei really did kneel down to apologize, it wouldn't be just a matter of flattering anymore. If this got out, it would become a huge joke within the circle: Look, He Runyan is so desperate to get Li Qian to write songs for her that she's lost all sense of shame! She actually instructed her agent to go kneel down and apologize to someone!

  He Rongqing knew that Liu Mei had such a personality and could continue to say such things, so she must be able to get things done!

  She hastily sat down, pulled up her hand and said: "Don't think too much about it, although you must have offended him. We'll apologize later if we need to."

  But at this time, Liu Mei smiled wryly and said: "I know what you're worried about, Runqing. To be honest, my personality is a bit extreme, which I also know myself. In the past, I thought it didn't matter because you were the most popular one, and I thought my extremity might even help you! But now... I think I'm no longer suitable to be your agent! So let me go, I'll go apologize to him, whatever he wants me to do is fine as long as he forgives you! As for what's next between us..."

  When she heard this, He Runqing was really shocked.

  She thought for a moment. She shook her head, interrupting Liu Mei's words while patting her hand, saying: "You're my agent. This won't change! I trust you, but not others! And..." she smiled, "even if I need to apologize, it has to be me personally going there. Otherwise, considering Jian Shao's current status, do you think that even if he forgives you, he'll also forgive me and be willing to put in a lot of effort to write songs and produce an album for me?"

  Liu Mei was stunned and stood still.

  Thinking carefully, it's really like that.

  Now Li Qian, although still unknown to the outside world, with Liao's album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" becoming a huge hit, and Liao kicking Wu Xuan to the ground, the phrase "Li Qian's successful revenge" has been widely discussed in the industry. The huge success of Liao's three albums, including "Liao", "Sisters Stand Up" and "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu", has also made him the most famous golden producer in the music scene today.

  Just because you're a small agent, you go and apologize to others on your own. No matter how sincere your attitude is, no matter if you cry or kneel down, what does it mean to the other party?

  To put it simply, I'm not good enough!

  Not even qualified to apologize!

  At this time, Liu Mei herself had thought it through and couldn't help but look at He Runqing, asking: "Runqing, what do you plan to do?"

  He Runqing smiled and said: "Since we're going to join someone else's household, of course we need to show some sincerity! Next, it's time for you to make an effort!"

  She took a deep breath and said: "There's one more album left in the contract with Sony, but I don't want to fulfill it. If I wait until the next album is fulfilled before making a change, it will be too late and won't look sincere. Moreover, I feel that Sony has lost confidence in this album's performance! Since that's the case, go help me buy out the contract, including both the recording and management contracts. We can negotiate the price, but I just want to regain my freedom!"

  Liu Mei was taken aback for a moment, but soon her eyes revealed a hint of madness. She slapped the sofa with a loud bang and exclaimed, "Great! I'll go talk to Watanabe! You've signed with Sony all these years, and you haven't made them any less money. At this point, I don't believe they won't let go!"

  After finishing speaking, she looked at He Runqing, the madness in her eyes remained, and asked: "Then when are you going to find Li Qian?"

  He Runqing heard this and lost his smile, suddenly becoming a bit mischievous as he blinked his eyes and said, "You're even more impatient than I am?"

  Liu Mei smiled and her expression calmed down a bit, but she said sincerely: "I'm more eager than anyone else for you to become famous, I hope you get more and more famous!"

  He Runkui smiled and patted her hand, saying: "That can't be rushed! Besides, as far as I know, Li Qian is not in Shuntian Prefecture at the moment, and even Jinan Prefecture is not there. I've already called his broker, and it's said that he drove out to play by himself after the college entrance examination, saying it was a self-driving tour! Now, even his broker can't contact him! Of course, our relationship with them isn't good either, so it's also possible that they're just making excuses! But in any case, we have to be patient and wait for a while."

  She smiled and suddenly said in a low voice, "However, I got some news that Li Qian has already bought two floors around the East Fourth Ring Road and has completed the design for decoration. It's possible to start decorating at any time. It is said that the design plan includes fifteen recording studios! What do you think he is going to do?"

  "Start a company!" Liu Mei blurted out at first, but after thinking for a moment, she shook her head, and the sharp light in her eyes flashed. A moment later, she said: "Starting a company... seems unlikely, after all, starting a company requires too many preparations. On the other hand, I think he might be thinking of opening a studio?"

  He Runqing nodded and smiled: "You're just like my inference! Moreover, Liao Liao's contract is about to expire, it's said that many companies are in contact with her. Wanting to sign her down, but she hasn't made a move! Many companies have given her very high offers, but she doesn't even show any intention of discussing further. So I reckon, Liao Liao should be Li Qian's studio's first signed singer?"

  She let out a sigh, but there was a smile on her face. "At that time, I'll go as a free agent and ask his studio to sign me, striving to become the second signed singer in his studio! Hmm, I don't want any excessive conditions, just the treatment of a newcomer will do!"

  Liu Mei heard this and almost couldn't help but applaud, "Such a great gift, he must be unwilling to refuse! You are He Runqing after all, no matter what you say, the Queen of Sweet Songs. Also one of the Four Heavenly Queens! You signed over with the treatment of a newcomer, which is the greatest support for him! As long as he nods, then the past things will be completely wiped out!" As she spoke, she became so excited that she almost couldn't control herself, looking like she was about to jump up and dance if she weren't sitting on the sofa.

  But at this time, He Runqing smiled and shook her head. Immediately, the smile turned into a bitter smile. She said: "Not necessarily!"

  Liu Mei stared at her in shock and asked: "Why?"

  He Runqing smiled wryly and said, "I do have a big name, and I'm willing to take the lowest-level newcomer contract. But for other companies, other producers, it's not easy to promote a promising new artist. Is it easier to paint on a blank canvas or to modify a painting that already has a complete landscape? Moreover, even if we buy out the contract from Sony beforehand, can they really be happy about me signing him? Besides, he's such an arrogant person, and people like that are easy to hold grudges!"

  Liu Mei fell silent upon hearing this.

  Then, she muttered to herself: "No matter what, I must find a way into his studio! Only he can help you return to the top! Like 'Tao Sheng Yi Jiou', like 'Qian Shou', like 'Meng Xing Shi Fen', when I listen to them, I think that even if you have just one of these songs, this time it won't be so miserable! With just one song, with your singing skills and voice, you can compete with Liao Liao, and the Golden Melody Chart and Sales Ranking Chart won't let Liao Liao dominate alone!"

  He Rongqing heard her muttering, smiled and shook his head, "Wait! Wait for him to come back! Who made us need him so much, but he just doesn't seem to need us that much?"

  …………

  Monday, July 25th.

  Dongguan Bookstore's album sales ranking list is released on time again.

  Actually, before this list came out, everyone had already predicted that the album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" would continue to be extremely strong.

  In fact, in the past two weeks, especially after Liao Liao returned from promoting abroad, many record companies have actively offered her an olive branch, and even if the company's scale is not that big, they directly shouted out a price that can scare people to death, just hoping to sign her over.

  Because of Liao's current popularity, she has become red-hot to a degree that no other female singer has ever reached before!

  It can even be said that she is already the most popular one in today's music scene!

  However, when this week's sales chart came out, everyone who got the sales data for the first time couldn't help but be stunned at first glance!

  "Wave Sound Still" on its third week of release, sold 38,552 copies in a single week!

  According to the almost irreversible market law, unless there are special circumstances, such as "Wu Xing Wu Su", which had no one asking for it in the first week after its release, but then suddenly became popular in the second week due to effective promotion, and reached its highest sales peak in the third week. Another example is Liao Liao's first album, which was not well-promoted at first, but gradually gained popularity through word of mouth, and also reached its sales peak in the third and fourth weeks after release. However, these are exceptions, and generally speaking, the peak sales of an album, especially a new album by an already established singer, will definitely appear in the second week after its release.

  And in the third week, for a high-quality album, it will show a slight decline in sales, but maintain stability and continue to sell well - examples from the past twenty years of record market have already proven that no matter how popular you are, you can't be an exception.

  However, Liao Liao's "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" has created a new record of 32558 copies in the third week after its release, defying the usual pattern and setting an even higher and unattainable new record!

  38,552!

  Sold nearly six thousand more than last week!

  Even the hottest singer, even the hottest album, would have a slight decline of around 10% in the third week, but "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" instead surged by more than 18%!

  A new record in the history of album sales at Dongguan Bookstore is born!

  The highest peak data. This goes without saying!

  The first album with sales of over 30,000 copies for two consecutive weeks is truly terrifying!

  Due to the continuous rise for three weeks, it's already impossible to judge where the peak value of this album is! Because everyone consistently recognizes and summarizes the market rules through many years of market experience, it seems that they have lost their guiding significance for this album.

  If you think that 38,552 is already the peak of this album. But how do you know it won't create a higher sales record next week?

  You know, according to current music industry terminology, Liao Liao's album has ten title tracks!

  If you think that this week's sales have rebounded strongly again, it is because works such as "Bitter and Sweet Years" or "Du Kou" have supported the sales. How do you know that next week, "Come Back" won't take over to continue supporting sales, thereby creating an even more glorious achievement for this album?

  In short, seeing Liao Liang's "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" with such crazy and rising sales, especially when compared to this week's sales plummet of "Rang Wo Fei", which sold less than 6,000 copies, and "Ku Zhu" which stabilized but only sold a little over 5,000 copies in a single week, the entire domestic music scene is in complete chaos.

  Almost all new album release plans, especially those of female singers, have been put on hold.

  No one is willing to rush over and get themselves killed at this time.

  At the time when "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" was extremely popular, this album had an almost invincible momentum in the market, even surpassing that of heavenly king Liu Ming. In an interview, he mentioned that his new album would be slightly delayed because one of the songs didn't quite meet his expectations.

  At this time, despite the fact that countless companies had already called Qijie before, hoping to meet with Li Qian and discuss possible cooperation opportunities, the number of incoming calls not only didn't decrease, but instead increased.

  The general managers of the record companies called, hoping to invite Li Qian to serve as the company's music director, with a price tag. No negotiations, no bargaining! If it's a share, give a share; if it's a stake, give a stake!

  Lyricists and musicians called, hoping to get Li Jian's help in revising their works, and also hoped to have time to communicate with Li Jian and learn some advanced songwriting concepts. Well, although it's common in the art world to talk about money, it's really quite vulgar, but they explicitly stated that even if it's just a conversation, they are willing to pay!

  Singers and agents called, hoping to visit at a convenient time. If Mr. Li Jian didn't have time, they wouldn't dare disturb him. They just hoped that if Mr. Li had any new works, he could give them one song. The price and share would be negotiable, as long as it was Mr. Li's work!

  However, the unified reply they all got was: Sorry, Li Qian has gone on a self-driving tour and I'm also out of touch with him now. Your phone call and content will be noted, and when he returns, I'll definitely pass it on to him. Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused!

  No one dares to neglect, everyone says it's okay, everyone says please be sure to pass on the message, everyone says when Mr. Li Qian returns, I hope Miss Qi can give a notice, and the other party will definitely thank you...

  But when they turned back to their circle, when several friends gathered and talked about "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu", talked about Liao Liao, talked about Li Qian, everyone could only shrug their shoulders in frustration, saying: "What can you do? He's Li Qian after all, he's just awesome, so what can you say? Of course he can do whatever he wants..."

  At this time, the person who seemed to be getting hot in the music circle, the person who seemed to be being pursued and sought after by the entire pop music scene, had just ended his so-called "summer self-driving tour" first stop, and had just jumped off the horseback from the vast grassland. He drove his dirty off-road vehicle, with a guitar, erhu, flute, sheng, suona, and three newly acquired morin khuur in the car, and a harmonica in the glove compartment besides his mobile phone, heading south along the Zhengshi-Mizhi route, straight to Chang'an Prefecture.

  The off-road vehicle drove over the bumpy but unbroken yellow earth ancient road, stirring up a long and winding sand dust, like a winding line, stretching far away, rushing towards the horizon.

  Fading away, growing distant, until no one is left.

  Behind him, there was nothing but the endless and desolate yellow earth plateau.

  Throughout the ages, desolate and barren.

  (End of Volume One, Jin Nian Su Shi.)

  ***

  9,000-word chapter, Volume 1 is done!

  The first volume, whether it's good or bad, whether it's praised or criticized, is up to everyone. But as for me, I'm basically satisfied.
