For others, this kind of festival is a day for family reunion, but for families like theirs, it is just an excuse to hold social gatherings and business receptions.
Ye Qi had flown to other countries for business trips long before the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival, there were still only three people in Ye's house.
"Sister, are you going out?" Ye Ke rubbed his head and happened to meet Ye Qingning who was about to go out.
"Yes, the buns are still hot. Remember to have breakfast."
"I know, then be careful on the road."
Ye Qingning nodded, and the driver was already waiting outside.
When we arrived at our destination, the egret was already waiting outside.
"Ning Ning." After several contacts, the two of them have become very familiar with each other.
"Miss Bailu." Ye Qingning waved to her.
"Sorry, I bothered you to come over on the weekend."
"It doesn't matter. It's better to say weekend is better."
"Yeah, are you still in school at this age?" Ye Qingning put on a hat, and Egret could only judge the approximate age of the other person based on his voice.
Ye Qingning nodded, not intending to reveal too much. Fortunately, Bailu didn't mean to ask too much.
"Are you going to record that song today?"
"Yes, but he hasn't come yet. Mr. Qi has gone to pick him up. Please wait here for a moment while I go get you a cup of tea."
As soon as the egret went out, a strange man came in.
"Hello, are you Miss Q?"
Ye Qingning stood up, "Who are you?"
"Hello, I am Bailu's superior, my name is Sun Hongkai."
"Hello." Ye Qingning lowered the brim of his hat. "Is there a problem?"
"The initial version of the song you composed before has been released. It can be said to be unparalleled, the sound of nature."
Sun Hongkai smiled flatteringly, which made Ye Qingning frown.
"Thanks."
"To be honest, your abilities are outstanding. Let Bailu, a rookie who has just joined the company less than half a year ago, lead you. Your talents will only be buried."
Sun Hongkai changed the subject.
"oh?"
Sun Hongkai was secretly happy, thinking that Ye Qingning was interested, so he spoke more and more energetically.
"Actually, I was the one who took a fancy to you first, but President Qi assigned it to Bailu. Although I felt it was a pity, I had to give in due to the order." Sun Hongkai sighed, looking extremely regretful.
"But your talent is so rare, I really can't bear to see you buried."
"So, what you mean is that you want me to go and tell Mr. Qi to change the contact person to you, right?"
Sun Hongkai was overjoyed and nodded quickly.
"It's different to talk to smart people. With your talent and my connections, I believe we will be able to create one miracle after another. Bailu is just a newcomer who has not yet established a firm foothold in the industry. I I’m also thinking about your future.”
Sun Hongkai looked like "I'm all thinking about you", but Ye Qingning didn't respond. He gritted his teeth and showed his last trump card.
"I know you are also short of money."
Hearing this, Ye Qingning, whose face was hidden under a hat, raised an eyebrow.
"If this matter succeeds, I am willing to provide you with some financial help." Sun Hongkai said extremely tactfully.
"how much?"
When Ye Qingning said this, both those outside and those inside were stunned for a moment. The former pursed his lips and said nothing, while the latter was overjoyed.
Sun slowly made a "V" gesture.
"Two million?" Ye Qingning said, pretending to be inexperienced in the world.
Sun's face twitched, "You...you really love to joke."
"Do you know how much this skirt costs?" Ye Qingning changed the subject.
Sun Hongkai looked up and down. There was no sign and it looked very plain. He must have bought it from a street stall somewhere.
When he was struggling with how much he should say without hurting Ye Qingning's self-esteem, Ye Qingning had already told the answer.
"Two million."
Sun Hongkai's face suddenly drooped. He snorted coldly, "Young people, it's better not to be too sharp-tongued, or you'll suffer a loss!"
Ye Qingning was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that one day he would be questioned by others.
"Mr. Sun Hongkai, please come back. I think Miss Bailu seems to have more potential than you." Ye Qingning did not care about the sudden change in Sun Hongkai's attitude.
"Huh, young people are young people, short-sighted." Sun no longer lingered, waved and left.
But the door opened the moment he was about to touch the handle.
Both of them were stunned and saw Bailu, Qi Le and a tall man whose appearance he couldn't see clearly standing at the door.
"Qi...Mr. Qi." Sun Hongkai lowered his head and gritted his teeth secretly. He didn't know if they heard it or how much they heard.
"Sun Hongkai, why are you here?" As Qi Le spoke, his eyes drifted over Ye Qingning casually.
"Mr. Qi, I...I'm here to check on things with you. Didn't I just plan to go out because you weren't here?" Sun Ga laughed twice.
"Oh? That's it." Qi Le raised his eyebrows, his tone a little casual.
Just when Sun thought Qi Le wanted to ask more questions, Qi Le raised his hand and asked him to go out.
"I have guests here now. I'll report back later if I have other matters."
"Okay." Sun Hongkai breathed a sigh of relief and raised his feet to go out, but the egret blocked her.
"Egret, what's the matter with you?" Facing this seemingly soft-tempered Egret, Sun suddenly felt confident.
"I discovered Miss Q. Although I am still a newcomer, I will do my best to help her. She is a very talented person. I think she can make her own way out of the world even without us. ”
Bailu looked at Sun Hongkai, his eyes that never dared to look at others were shining with determination at this moment.
Sun Hongkai gritted his teeth, "Damn Egret, you are just a newcomer, yet you dare to argue with me!"
In his heart, he wished he could chase the egret out, but there were other people present. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only eat coptis and swallow all the words.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Sun Hongkai turned his back to Qi Le, glared at Egret, and walked out the door without looking back.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.
"Egret."
"Here." Qi Le suddenly called her name, startling her.
Qi Le glanced at her and said, "Close the door."
His tone was calm, as if nothing happened just now.
"Okay." Her hands holding the tray were shaking a little, and she took a few deep breaths while closing the door before she calmed down.
The Westerner sat on the sofa and tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened.
"Long time no see, Miss Ye."
The last time we met, because it was a bit strange to call Miss Q, Ye Qingning said her last name was 'Ye'.
"Long time no see, Mr. Qi." The two shook hands ceremoniously.
"This is Han Qingqiu, who is also my friend for many years."
Ye Qingning shook hands with him and then looked at him.
He is Tang Tang's idol, and it is because of him that he entered this industry. Thinking of this, Ye Qingning looked at the other party more.
"What a beautiful person." This was Ye Qingning's first impression of him.
The other person was tall, with fair skin, and thin red lips that looked like they were wearing lipstick. They had a very sexy lip shape.
Despite this, Ye Qingning didn't look too much at it and quickly withdrew his gaze. For someone she met for the first time, her behavior was already very rude.
"Hello." Ye Qingning greeted him first.
"Hello, please take care of me." The other party's voice was gentle, clear, and very nice.
Westerners are all about efficiency, so they didn’t exchange too many greetings and quickly started recording.
The two of them unexpectedly clicked together, and their vocals came out perfectly at once. Not only Qi Le, but also the two parties involved were surprised.
"Your timbre is beyond my expectation. Qi Le praised you before he picked me up. I rarely see him speak so highly of a person, but to be honest, I still had reservations before I met you. Attitude. Now it seems that I am narrow-minded.”
Ye Qingning curled her lips, and when she took off her mask, only her delicate chin could be seen.
"I'm also surprised. I didn't expect that I can be so in tune with you." Obviously, Ye Qingning was also in a good mood.
Originally, she had no interest in these celebrities and learned about most of them from Tang Tang. But I didn't expect that Han Qingqiu was also very good at classical music, and he could immediately get the emotions in her music.
Finding someone who understands your work is a rare thing. She was lucky enough to meet two.
"I'm going to have a new song conference in a while. Can I invite you to attend? You sing so well, but it makes it a little difficult for me. There probably aren't many singers in the industry who are willing to take on this job."
The other party's tone is gentle and teasing, making it easy for people to lose the sense of distance.
"You praised me, but I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to show up." Ye Qingning didn't hate him, but now was not a good time to show up.
"What if there was a way to not show up?"
"That would be my honor." Ye Qingning responded quickly.
Han Qingqiu's eyes lit up, and he became even more beautiful.
Yes, beautiful. He was obviously a boy, but Ye Qingning felt that using 'handsome' to describe him was not accurate enough. The person in front of her was undoubtedly a man, but he was even more beautiful than the female celebrities she knew.
As expected of Tang Tang, she is capable of chasing stars in every song.
