"Hello, Teacher Liang!"
Sister Ru's enthusiastic greeting rang out crisply in the quiet room, instantly breaking the tranquil atmosphere.
Liang Qiaobo walked into the house with unhurried steps, a slightly shy and gentle smile on his face.
"Good afternoon, Miss Wang." He glanced at Sister Ru briefly, then, as if drawn by a magnet, quickly returned his gaze to the two figures standing behind him.
next moment.
The two figures turned around simultaneously, as if on cue.
The moment Yu Huan's sharply defined, heroic face came into view, Liang Qiaobo slowed his pace slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze behind his black-rimmed glasses revealing a probing look, as he carefully confirmed the information.
The figure I had encountered in the corridor earlier quickly flashed into my mind.
His outstanding physique and extraordinary temperament left a deep impression on him.
Like Sha Baoliang, he initially thought he was some kind of idol singer or celebrity.
Lin Yourong parted her lips slightly and greeted him politely, "Good afternoon, Teacher Liang."
"Hello, Miss Lin."
Liang Qiaobo kept walking and casually responded to Lin Yourong, but his gaze lingered on Yu Huan for a long time.
As he walked, he smiled gently and said, "Handsome, you must be Mr. Y? What a coincidence! I only caught a glimpse of you in the hallway before, and I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
As Yu Huan listened to the distinctive Cantonese-accented Mandarin, especially the phrase "handsome guy," a smile involuntarily crept onto his face, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.
He replied with a smile, "Teacher Liang, it's quite a coincidence. We only exchanged brief greetings earlier, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to get to know each other formally so soon. By the way, Teacher Liang, my surname is Yu, you can just call me Xiao Yu."
Liang Qiaobo nodded and walked closer to the sofa.
His movements were unhurried; after slowly sitting down, he looked at Yu Huan's handsome face, his eyes gradually filling with admiration.
I increasingly felt that this young man exuded a unique spirit and energy.
With a smile, Liang Qiaobo said, "After listening to Lin Su's rendition of 'Time Thief,' I became very curious about the lyricist and composer. Although I knew you were quite young and had achieved success at a young age, I didn't expect you to be so handsome. You are truly a force to be reckoned with!"
Yu Huan felt a slight blush rise on her face from the praise.
He straightened up slightly, and his originally casual and relaxed posture took on a more serious tone.
He said modestly, "Teacher Liang, you flatter me. I just did my best to express my thoughts through music."
Hu Jiyan laughed heartily and interjected, "I spent only an afternoon with Xiao Yu, and I truly felt his talent and inspiration in music."
talking.
Hu Jiyan picked up the large-capacity master cup, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.
Then, he continued firmly, "In short, Teacher Liang is right, the younger generation is truly formidable!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan scratched his head; he had spent almost the entire afternoon sprawled on the sofa...
Could it be that his domineering aura leaked out and Hu Jiyan sensed it?
This is the time.
The electric kettle next to him started bubbling and churning. Seeing this, Hu Jiyan stopped talking and started making tea.
Despite the effusive praise from these two industry leaders, Yu Huan remained composed, maintaining a calm and gentle smile on her face.
However, Lin Yourong's lips couldn't help but curl upwards, and a radiant smile involuntarily graced her face.
She glanced at Yu Huan's profile, her eyes filled with pride and joy for her husband.
Liang Qiaobo smiled and said, "Of course, the younger generation is formidable. In today's music market, good works are hard to come by. Xiao Yu's works have both artistic value and commercial potential. More and more people will definitely get to know him in the future."
Upon hearing this, Hu Jiyan's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to tell Liang Qiaobo that many people already knew him.
The internet celebrity "Brother Leader"—there are tons of people who know him!
But then I suddenly remembered that we were talking about music here, and I heard Wang Jingru say that she had something to ask of Liang Qiaobo, and it seemed that she wanted 'Mr. Y' to participate in the selection and arrangement of songs.
Hu Jiyan felt that what he was saying was a bit off-topic and irrelevant, so he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
After all, for Liang Qiaobo, this little bit of fame online is really insignificant.
Yu Huan quickly picked up the conversation, saying humbly, "I still have a lot to learn, and I will have to ask you two seniors for guidance in the future."
Hu Jiyan skillfully brewed the tea.
Steam rose in wisps.
He looked up at Yu Huan and said with a smile, "Little Yu, your talent is obvious to everyone, so don't be so modest!"
Liang Qiaobo nodded slightly and said, "I took the liberty of listening to Ms. Lin's recording today. The arrangement of the song 'The Wind on the Way Home' is fantastic. You combined string quartet, rock and electronic sounds. The style is really creative. Nowadays, our Chinese music scene is very homogenized. Such refreshing works are rare."
Hu Jiyan's hands were busy, methodically arranging the tea set.
He looked up at Yu Huan and said with a smile, "Teacher Liang left halfway through listening to Lin Su's recording, saying that he wanted to keep an expectation for this work and would listen to the release version directly. It can be said that Teacher Liang values the song 'The Wind on the Way Home' very much."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan fell into deep thought.
He knew in his heart that the composition, arrangement, lyrics, and singing style of "The Wind on the Way Home" were indeed quite novel for this era.
The song that this song imitates, "The Ordinary Road," will not be released until the summer of 14.
I never expected that Leung Kiu-po would like "The Wind on the Way Home" so much?
Yu Huan composed herself, looked at Liang Qiaobo's gentle and elegant smiling face, and said, "I'm just figuring out how to arrange music. To receive Teacher Liang's approval and such kindness is truly an honor for me."
"Teacher Liang is one of the top composers in China. His appreciation of music is beyond doubt. Take the arrangement of 'The Wind on the Way Home' for example. When I first heard it, I was amazed by its unique style. It felt like I was electrified. I haven't had that feeling of tingling scalp and goosebumps all over my body in a long time."
The humorous words had barely left his lips.
Hu Jiyan then placed a teacup on the tea table in front of Liang Qiaobo. The cup touched the table lightly, making a soft, crisp "tap" sound, and the aroma of tea wafted out.
He smiled and gestured, "Teacher Liang, please have some tea!"
"Thank you," Liang Qiaobo said casually.
Lin Yourong tilted her head slightly, looked at Yu Huan with gentle eyes, and said softly, "Yu Huan does have unique talent in music, and he is very persistent. He puts a lot of effort into every piece of music. As a singer, I feel very lucky to be able to work with him."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Yu Huan's face immediately broke into a bright smile.
He said with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Hey, why are you bringing this up? What's our relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiaobo remained outwardly calm, but his gaze subtly swept between Yu Huan and Lin Yourong.
Look at how intimately they're sitting side by side...
Lin Su's hand was even casually placed on Yu Huan's thigh, exuding a sense of intimacy.
Even right after Yu Huan said that...
Liang Qiaobo, with his sharp eyes, vaguely noticed that Lin Su seemed to have playfully pinched his thigh.
Anyone who saw this could tell that their relationship was far more than just a simple partnership...
However, Liang Qiaobo saw through it but didn't say anything.
He raised his hand, gently pushed up his black-rimmed glasses with his fingertips, and said, "Xiao Yu, the songs you wrote for Miss Lin are indeed outstanding. The melodies are catchy and original, and the lyrics are very vivid. In all my years in the music industry, I have rarely seen such a talented young person as you."
Upon hearing this sincere praise, Yu Huan still wore a humble smile and said, "Teacher Liang, please don't flatter me too much. The song was outstanding, and most of the credit goes to Lin Su, because she sang it so well."
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiaobo's eyes were full of approval. He followed up with a smile and said, "I listened to Miss Lin's recording this afternoon, and Miss Lin's singing skills are indeed excellent."
“That’s right! I’ve really felt Lin Su’s dedication and seriousness towards music these past few days while recording her.”
Hu Jiyan nodded and said repeatedly:
"Take this recording for example. She meticulously studied and adjusted every single lyric. For the slightest pitch difference, she would sing it many times until she was satisfied, without considering post-production auto-tuning at all. This kind of dedication is rare among today's new generation of singers. Like Xiao Yu, she is a true music lover."
Hearing such generous praise, Yu Huan seemed a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "Brother Hu, you flatter me too much."
Liang Qiaobo gazed thoughtfully out the window, his eyes deep and distant, and said slowly, "In this fast-paced era, it's rare to find people like you who are dedicated to making music. With young people like you in the Chinese music scene, the future will definitely be brighter."
The words, full of profound insight, were immediately heard.
Yu Huan couldn't help but think to himself, "This vision and perspective are truly worthy of an industry leader."
He moved his lips slightly, about to offer a few words of flattery and then naturally steer the conversation towards matters related to the upcoming program.
Before he could speak, Liang Qiaobo seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at Hu Jiyan, and then asked, "Did Wenjie come today?"
Hu Jiyan frowned and thought for a moment.
He scratched his chin uncertainly and replied, "It seems not. I've been in the recording studio all day and haven't seen her."
Sister Ru, who was squeezed into the small sofa with Xing Yujia, had been listening quietly to their conversation about music. Now she felt she could finally chime in: "Teacher Liang, I sent you all text messages after I ordered food this afternoon. Wenjie replied that she would arrive on time."
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiaobo took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and quickly swiped his fingers across the screen.
While looking down at his phone, he said, "Ms. Wang, thank you so much for your hospitality and thoughtfulness—I've been so busy that I haven't even had time to check my phone."
Sister Ru waved her hand and quickly said, "Teacher Liang, it's nothing, you're too kind."
Having not received a text message, Yu Huan watched their back-and-forth conversation and, with a mixture of curiosity and concern, poked her head out and asked, "Sister Ru, where are we having dinner tonight?"
Having known him for so long, Sister Ru is well aware of his foodie nature.
She joked, "I've personally checked out the place on Shuyuan Road, you know. The environment is fantastic, and the private rooms face the statue of a great man. Yu Huan, just wait and see, you'll be in for a feast!"
Yu Huan looked at Lin Yourong's delicate profile, a teasing smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Is Sister Ru really treating tonight?"
As soon as Lin Yourong saw Yu Huan finish speaking, Sister Ru immediately rolled her eyes at him and then burst into laughter.
Before she could even respond, Sister Ru crossed her arms and said, speechless, "Yu Huan, what's wrong with you? Are you doubting my sincerity in treating you?"
Yu Huan, with a smile plastered on her face, quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no!"
Hu Jiyan watched them bickering with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits: "Jingru went to the site specifically for this dinner tonight, she must have put in a lot of effort, right?"
Upon hearing Hu Jiyan's words, Sister Ru thought to herself that finally someone had hit the nail on the head.
When she goes out to eat with Susu, she worries herself sick, afraid that they will be recognized, or that some strange people will try to harm them, or even try to ambush them.
What's more, it was a dinner party with so many big celebrities.
She said with a bright smile, "Old Hu, you, Teacher Liang, and Wenjie are all distinguished guests. You are all very busy people, and it's rare for you to have a chance to get together. How could I not treat you with the utmost hospitality?"
Liang Qiaobo fiddled with his phone, replied to a few messages, then stuffed it back into his down jacket pocket and zipped it up.
He smiled and continued the conversation: "Since Wenjie will go directly to the hotel, and we don't have anything to do right now, why don't we head over there first?"
Hu Jiyan nodded in agreement, glanced at the wall clock, and said, "Yes, it's already 5:40 now. It will take about 20 minutes to drive there."
After saying that, he stood up first.
After tidying themselves up briefly, everyone left the office.
As they walked, the rhythmic, undulating sound of their footsteps gradually became clearer and more rhythmic, echoing from the second-floor corridor all the way to the first-floor lobby.
Hu Jiyan, who was walking at the front, suddenly slowed down and turned to Sister Ru, who was a step behind, to ask, "Jingru, how many cars do you have?"
"Two cars are more than enough for the few of us."
As Sister Ru spoke, she suddenly took a few quick steps to Hu Jiyan's side, lowered her voice, and continued:
"Old Hu, you'll have to be more lenient with him. Yu Huan can't hold his liquor, so we're counting on you. Keep Teacher Liang company and have a few drinks with him. I'll bring you and Teacher Liang back after tonight."
