Li Qian's brain is actually a bit dull, or to put it bluntly, he's been a bit lazy lately, so his reaction is several beats slower than usual, looking a bit silly.

  However, Liao Liao seemed to particularly enjoy watching him with this silly expression, and she giggled as she stared at him intently. When Li Qian silently sat down on the sofa, she even deliberately leaned over and nudged him with her elbow, "Hey, you've been out playing for so long, was it fun? Honestly, did you have any romantic encounters along the way?"

  Li Qianmu shook his head and rubbed his eyes, saying: "I picked up a cat and fed it for a few days."

  He paused for a moment, then said: "I found a girl in northern Shaanxi who is a great talent. Her high-pitched voice would be wasted if she didn't sing folk songs. At the time, I really wanted to write a song for her... Hmm, of course, she's not as beautiful as you, so I decided not to write a song for her."

  Liao Liao burst out laughing.

  Then she pulled Li Qian up, pushed him and said: "Go wash your face and brush your teeth first, I can smell your bad breath. Hurry up! I just bought you a new toothbrush this afternoon!"

  Li Qian was involuntarily pushed into the bathroom, and Liao Liao helped him squeeze toothpaste. Li Qian took it to brush his teeth, but after brushing for two seconds, he turned around in a daze, with a mouthful of white foam, and asked unclearly: "Do I have bad breath?"

  Liao Liao Bai stared at him, "You don't have bad breath, you have good breath... from brushing your teeth!"

  After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he seemed to be in much better spirits. Although his expression still looked wooden, at least his eyes began to liven up. He sat back on the sofa for a moment, listening to Liao Liao's piano playing, then turned his head to see Qi Jie and Huang Wenjuan still busy in the kitchen, and suddenly asked Liao Liao, "How's the renovation going?"

  Liao Liao stopped playing the piano, turned her head around, and made a very exaggerated and surprised expression. "You still know that there's something going on over here? You still remember that this is your workshop? You ran out to play by yourself for 30 or 40 days, leaving us few girls at home to run errands as your servants. Do you still have any humanity?"

  Li Qian rubbed his nose, just about to speak, but his stomach suddenly started growling loudly.

  The sound was so loud that Liao Liao sitting on the other side of the piano could hear it clearly.

  Liao Liao's expression suddenly changed. With a hint of heartache, he looked at Li Qian and said in a soft tone, "You said you wanted to go out and play, but did you have to get so tanned? You look like an African refugee!"

  As they spoke, she walked over and sat down on the single sofa on one side, saying: "The decoration of the studio is being supervised by Xiaojie all the way, I also go there from time to time to take a look, we found a big company at home, so you can rest assured!"

  She paused and said: "According to the schedule given by others. Probably around mid-September, it will definitely be completed! In recent days, I have been running around with Xiaojie to look at office furniture! You don't know, the place that sells furniture has a big smell, it's overwhelming!"

  "By the way, congratulations to you. Your fragile funding chain doesn't have to worry about being cut off for now. Old Chen called me two days ago and said that he's preparing to settle the royalties for the first 30 million copies of "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" with you in these two days. With this sum, your workshop can spend some more time."

  Li Qian was slightly surprised, "Over 30 million copies?"

  Liao rolled his eyes, "Actually, I've already estimated it. But when does the statistical data come out that quickly? Old Chen is counting on you to return to school soon, so he's rushing to flatter you! He's being clever, huh? This is him urging you!"

  Li Qian thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Later, let Qi Jie call Chen Zong back. Just say I'm back, but there are still about ten days before school starts, I want to go home and stay with my parents for a few more days. After school starts, I'll take care of the things he promised me, absolutely won't delay his business. Hmm, right, later also let them work hard, sort out the previous works of those singers from your company as much as possible, give me a copy, I'll listen to it first, and then arrange songs for them according to their style."

  Liao Liao smiled and nodded, fearing that Li Qian wouldn't understand, so she specifically pointed under the tea table. Li Qian lowered his head and followed her finger to see a large box underneath. At this time, Liao Liao said: "I had prepared it for you many days ago! He was more anxious than you, as if he was afraid you would renege on your debt!"

  Li Qian heard this and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "After some thought, he said: 'Alright then, I'll go to your company tomorrow and have them sing it live. After listening to them sing, I'll come back and write a song for them. Consider it a reassurance for now!'"

  …………

  In order to wait for Li Qian, three girls did not eat dinner.

  The dishes were served, and Huang Wenjuan also brought a bottle of red wine over, but Li Qian waved his hand to decline, so Qi Jie and Liao Liao also didn't drink, and she had no choice but to put it back as is.

  Then, well, to celebrate Li Qian finally coming back alive and getting a nice African tan, everyone had a big feast.

  Have to say, Qi Jie's craftsmanship has made great progress.

  Li Qian was eating and praising, Liao Liao couldn't help but mock, "She's trying to curry favor with her boss, she's almost lost all sense of shame, clinging to our family's nanny aunt, insisting on learning how to cook from her, wasting who knows how many ingredients before finally managing to make it like this today...it seems that flattery really paid off for you, looks like your boss indeed has a taste for this!"

  "Shut up and eat!"

  In the end, all four of them were stuffed.

  Huang Wenjuan was quite miserable, after eating she hurried to clean up, Qi Jie still followed to lend a hand, Liao Liao was lazy by nature, from small to large he resolutely refused to approach the kitchen, so he was responsible for brewing a pot of tea and chatting with Li Qian.

  Qijie and Huang Wenjuan finished cleaning the kitchen and came over to sit down. Everyone listened together as Li Qian recounted his experiences from the past month - the long tunes of Mongolia, the horse-head fiddle, the folk songs of Shaanbei, an old farmer's broken voice singing so movingly it brought tears to your eyes, the rich and sweet rice wine of Hanzhong Prefecture, the fierce customs of the people of Sanqin, the flying heavenly images in Mogao Caves, the lake gulls by Qinghai Lake, and so on.

  Although Li Qian only went as far as Qinghai Lake and the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, this trip of over a month would take a whole day and night to tell, and several girls listened with great interest. In the end, it was said that Li Qian even bought a few horse-head fiddles back, and then heard that he learned a little bit, Liao Liao immediately asked for the car key, opened the door and took out the horse-head fiddle.

  There's an old saying that goes "one stroke, a hundred strokes", people who spend all day playing music and instruments, even if they're not familiar with the instrument at first, will definitely pick it up much faster than ordinary people. Although they still have a long way to go before becoming proficient or skilled, to be honest, Li Qian, who had only learned for a few days, was actually quite impressive when he played the morin khuur, and sounded pretty good too.

  If it weren't for considering how late it was, Liao Lao really wanted to have him sing a Mongolian long tune on the spot.

  But in the end, Qi Jie, who had been listening with a smile all along, suddenly spoke up and said, "That... did you find what you were looking for on this trip?"

  When he heard this question, even Liao Liao quieted down and looked at Li Qian seriously.

  Before leaving, Li Qian had mentioned it to Qi Jie, and Liao Liao had also heard about it from Qi Jie's mouth, so they both knew the real reason why Li Qian was going out this time.

  That's sound.

  There is no all-powerful singer in this world, Liao Liao and Zhen Zhen are already very powerful and against the sky, but they also have many songs that must be admitted to be sung badly, such as Shaanxi folk songs, Liao Liao's voice can't sing out that kind of transparent and bright flavor, she can only do her best to make it sound good.

  However, Liao Liao, who is just in her early twenties, already has her own unique singing style and a distinct vocal line that belongs to her alone. In fact, for a pop singer, if you don't set the bar too high, she basically can be considered an all-around versatile artist who can tackle any genre with ease.

  So she became famous.

  Even without Li Qian, once she had the right opportunity and the right work, she would immediately become popular.

  But she, that's infuriating to say, is really not diligent at all, it's just that her talent surpasses others, this point is absolutely enviable.

  Li Qian's vocal condition is actually quite good, although the range is not extremely wide, it's already enough for him to easily and freely sing in multiple ranges, and basically each range has a unique flavor. However, if that's all, to be honest, he might as well continue being a behind-the-scenes producer, because until he left Shun Tian Fu to go on a trip, his voice still lacked the power to directly pierce people's hearts.

  To be precise, he hasn't found the most suitable tone for himself yet.

  Finding that voice is easy to say, but also very difficult.

  The feeling is in place, the feeling is in place, you don't need to look for it, it will come out naturally, and your voice will sing a song that can move people.

  But there are many singers who have good vocal conditions, singing talents and so on, but they can't find that unique voice line all their lives. So, he sings well all his life, with rich emotions, but just can't become popular, can't leave a deep impression on listeners.

  So, Li Qian's trip this time, learning and understanding the market are one aspect, but actually those are still secondary, the most important thing is that he wants to find his own unique voice as soon as possible.

  So, if he's not planning to release an album for the rest of his life, that's fine. But if he wants to release an album, then Li Qian will definitely have to start making some preparations in advance - although in fact, until now, he still hasn't prepared himself to stand on stage and sing, to release an album. He wants to find the most unique trait in his voice, purely because he likes singing and wants to make himself better at it.

  At this time, facing everyone's expectant gaze, he smiled and nodded, then shook his head, saying: "It seems to have been found, but I always feel that it is still a little short, however...it shouldn't be far off. Hmm, if it were martial arts, I would now lack the last bit of breakthrough, I need to find my own escape route."

  "Where did the clothes go?"

  The three girls all looked bewildered.
