Chapter 371 You must be very close to me, right?
"Sigh! I meant well, but I never expected that you would think of me like this, Susu!"
Sister Ru gripped the steering wheel with both hands, sighing and feigning disappointment in her eyes, looking as if she had been wronged.
Lin Yourong deftly peeled off half of the eggshell, looking at the white and tender egg in her hand.
She glanced at Sister Ru, her eyes sparkling with a smile, then parted her lips slightly and said, "Sister Ru, but thanks to your nagging, I've avoided many detours."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru's face immediately brightened with a radiant smile.
"Hey! Susu, you don't finish your sentence at once, you scared me! I thought you thought I was annoying! But now that I have Yujia, I have a new person to nag me about." She paused, a sly glint in her eyes, and continued half-jokingly, "Yujia, you're in for a rough time from now on."
Xing Yujia's blush, which had already been brought on by the teasing, had not yet faded, making her round face look adorable.
Hearing this, Xing Yujia quickly waved her hand again, her round eyes shining with sincerity, and said, "Sister Ru, I really don't think you're being long-winded! What you said makes a lot of sense!"
Sister Ru shrugged upon hearing this.
A slight upturn of her lips revealed a teasing smile as she said to Lin Yourong, "Susu, you see? I told you she was a sycophant."
Lin Yourong was taking a small bite of an egg. She chewed it gently, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with delight.
She smiled and said, "Sister Ru, don't tease Yujia. She's obviously the kind of person who's very honest."
How could flattery spoken so bluntly and simply not be sincere?
As a child, Lin Yourong often stayed with the adults in her family and was exposed to all kinds of social circles, so she saw all sorts of shrewd people.
She truly doesn't want to deal with those people who seem casual in their words but are actually scheming and don't show their true intentions.
Lin Yourong swallowed the egg in her mouth and continued, "Yujia, Sister Ru is just a bit sharp-tongued. She likes to nag and make little jokes, but she's really a good person and has a very kind heart."
Upon hearing this, Xing Yujia nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with agreement.
She looked at Lin Yourong eating an egg through the rearview mirror, a genuine smile spreading across her face, and said, "Yes, I know, Sister Susu. When I was interning, it was Sister Ru who mentored me. She taught me so many things, and I'm always very grateful to her."
"Oh, stop talking, the three of us are all kind people!"
Sister Ru said cheerfully, stepped on the gas, and drove her little Audi quickly onto the Liuyang River Bridge.
After successfully overtaking the car by slightly turning the steering wheel, she continued, "Yujia, so when I called you, you resigned from Canwen without saying a word, right?"
Xing Yujia blushed slightly and replied with a shy smile, "Yes, when I was interning, I felt that your help and guidance to me were all sincere. Moreover, I really, really liked the atmosphere of working together. Besides, I feel really at ease being able to join Sister Susu's studio, so as soon as Sister Ru called me, I came without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru looked into the distance and saw that the traffic ahead was sparse, still more than a hundred meters away.
She turned to Lin Yourong and smiled, saying, "Susu, in my opinion, the last sentence is what she really thinks. Because this is your studio, she resigned from Canwen without hesitation."
Lin Yourong couldn't help but chuckle softly.
With a gentle expression, she said slowly, "Sister Ru, please stop teasing her."
Looking at Lin Yourong in the rearview mirror, especially at the gentle smile on her lips, Xing Yujia felt an urge to prove herself and quickly emphasized, "I mean it all! Really!"
"Yujia, I know this is what you really think." Sister Ru said while driving, "If you work hard in the future, the future of our studio will be bright! If you join now, you'll be a veteran. When the studio grows bigger and stronger in the future, you'll be a great contributor."
Lin Yourong put the half eggshell in the insulated box and continued, "Sister Ru, don't exaggerate. We're just a small personal studio; it's really not that serious."
Sister Ru, however, disagreed with a smile: "With you and Mr. Y here, even if it's just a small studio with only a few people right now, there are endless possibilities! It will definitely grow into a big and powerful business!"
"Sister Ru is right!" Xing Yujia hurriedly echoed, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
The little Audi drove smoothly on the bridge.
Outside the car window, the warm sun gently shone on the river, making the surface shimmer like countless sparkling diamonds.
Three women make a drama, and amidst their laughter and chatter, the little Audi quickly arrived at the Malanshan Cultural and Creative Park.
Sister Ru skillfully turned the car around and slowly backed the Audi into the parking space.
As soon as the car came to a stop, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt with one hand and took her phone out of her pocket with the other, dialing Hu Jiyan's number...
Lin Yourong got out of the car, dressed and gently touched the door.
As Sister Ru was talking on the phone, she smoothed the hair behind her ear from under her hat brim, slightly raised her head, and scanned the buildings in the park.
The warm sun seemed to drape the entire park in a soft glow, and the modern buildings were arranged in a staggered and orderly manner.
"Susu! Hu Jiyan is in his office. Let's go directly up to him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong turned to look at Sister Ru, who was walking around the front of the car, and nodded slightly in response with a composed demeanor.
The three walked side by side toward the Muse Music building, the warm sunlight shining on their backs and casting long, slanted shadows in front of them.
The weather is quite nice today, with a gentle breeze bringing a touch of comfort.
The doors to Muse Music were wide open, the windows were bright and clean, and the bright light shone on the polished floor tiles, reflecting a soft halo.
The receptionist glanced up casually and saw the three people slowly walking in.
Especially when her gaze fell upon Lin Yourong walking in the middle, that familiar fisherman's hat made her eyes light up, and a surge of joy welled up in her heart—
Lin Su came again after only one day!
It seems that, just as she guessed, they really do have a collaboration with Muse Music!
Sister Ru, who was near the front desk, keenly noticed her gaze. She took a light step and waved to her with a smile.
He greeted her warmly, "Hi~ Good morning."
The receptionist hurriedly responded, "Hello, Sister Wang! Hello, Miss Lin!"
Hearing the sound, Lin Yourong, who was covering her face, slightly raised her head and nodded her chin at her, giving a brief and simple greeting.
Upon seeing this, the receptionist's face immediately lit up with an even warmer smile. She raised her voice excitedly and continued, "Good morning, everyone!"
Although they had chatted quite a bit last time, she had completely forgotten to ask how to address this person, whether she was an older sister or a younger sister. A clear, bell-like voice echoed joyfully.
Three punk-style young men sitting on a bench in the rest area were attracted by the crisp sound. They all turned their eyes in this direction and were surprised to see what was happening.
Judging from this setup, it seems quite extraordinary...
The receptionist's respectful and enthusiastic response, coupled with the fact that one of the visitors was wearing a hat and a mask, completely covering himself up, was quite alarming.
Could it be a big star who has arrived?
"Sister Ru, these people must be rock musicians, right?" Xing Yujia asked curiously in a low voice.
She hadn't been up to the second floor when she came here the day before yesterday, and now she felt a little nervous and apprehensive.
The three of them ascended the open staircase, their rhythmic footsteps echoing around them.
Sister Ru turned her head and glanced at the group of young people, then smiled and replied, "They look like they play rock music, but these days young people dress in all sorts of styles, so maybe they're just dressing in a more individualistic way."
“That’s true.” Xing Yujia nodded in agreement.
The sound of footsteps, rising and falling, echoed through the left-hand corridor on the second floor, continuing until it gradually subsided at the end.
Sister Ru stood in front of the door.
She turned slightly to the side and glanced back at Lin Yourong, who had just stopped, and Xing Yujia, who was lagging behind and looking around at the furnishings.
Immediately, Sister Ru raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door was slowly opened.
Hu Jiyan stood behind the door with a warm smile, his mustache twitching slightly, and said loudly, "Welcome, welcome, please come in, all three of you."
As he spoke, Hu Jiyan stepped aside and gestured for him to proceed.
"Haha, Lao Hu, we're sorry to bother you again, but you've come to open the door for us personally." Sister Ru said as she stepped into the house first.
"What are you saying! Not bothering you at all! I'm really looking forward to this collaboration." Hu Jiyan noticed an unfamiliar face, his eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of curiosity. He smiled at Xing Yujia and asked, "Jingru, who is this?"
Sister Ru stepped inside and inhaled the faint aroma of tea that wafted towards her.
Hearing this, she turned around with a bright smile on her face and introduced, "Old Hu, this is Xing Yujia, Su Su's assistant. This girl is very clever. She performed exceptionally well when she interned at Canwen. Now that Su Su is opening her own studio, I called her over."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xing Yujia smiled shyly, bowed slightly to Hu Jiyan, and greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Hu."
"Hello." Hu Jiyan smiled and nodded.
He then stepped forward, gently closed the door, and said, "The final draft of 'Red Lament' is complete, and Mr. Y has also finished the arrangement?"
Sister Ru walked to the sofa without any hesitation. She had already chatted with him briefly before coming. She smiled and said, "Not only the arrangement, Su Su brought the demos with her this time."
"Whoa!" Hu Jiyan turned around.
His gaze lingered for a moment on the back of Xing Yujia, who was a whole size taller than him, before shifting to Sister Ru, his eyes full of admiration. He said, "Mr. Y is truly a musical genius. Not only can he write lyrics, compose music, and arrange, but he can also produce music! He's got it all covered!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Seeing that Sister Ru and Lin Yourong had stopped by the sofa, he quickly quickened his pace, hurriedly walked past Xing Yujia, and raised his hand to greet them warmly, saying, "Please sit down, everyone. Don't stand. Don't be shy here. Make yourself at home."
"Then I certainly won't stand on ceremony with you!" Sister Ru casually placed her handbag on the coffee table, her movements free and easy, before bending down and sitting on the sofa.
Seeing Xing Yujia standing obediently to the side with her hands hanging at her sides, Sister Ru pointed to the sofa opposite the host's seat and said in a friendly and easygoing tone, "Yujia, find a seat for yourself."
“Okay, Sister Ru,” Xing Yujia replied softly.
She did as instructed, took a step, turned around, and sat down in front of the sofa.
As soon as Sister Ru finished speaking, she picked up where Hu Jiyan left off, and said with a smile, "Old Hu, you can't say that. Mr. Y can do everything, except sing."
Hu Jiyan smiled and waved his hand, then walked around to the host's seat and sat down.
He leaned forward, placed his hands gently on his knees, and turned his gaze to Lin Yourong, who was covering her head and face.
With undiminished enthusiasm and a beaming smile, he joked, "If that's the case, then Mr. Y and Lin Su are truly a match made in heaven. One can sing, and the other can write songs. This combination is simply perfect."
"Right?" Sister Ru said with a grin.
"Lin Su, this Mr. Y, you must be very close to him, right?" Hu Jiyan said meaningfully, while reaching out to pick up tea tongs and skillfully taking out a teacup from the tea rinse bowl.
Lin Yourong did not deny it. Thinking of her previous discussion with Sister Ru, she nodded slightly: "That's right."
Hu Jiyan, who had only mentioned it casually, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this reply.
No wonder Mr. Y only writes songs for Lin Su; these two might actually be a couple.
Because Lin Su was quiet by nature, he didn't tease her much. Instead, he said seriously, "Lin Su, I'm really looking forward to the demo of 'Red-Haired Girl.' Can I have a look at Mr. Y's masterpiece?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong glanced back at the desktop computer and monitor speakers on the desk and replied, "Of course."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Jiyan's face lit up with joy, his eyes lit up instantly, and his mustache twitched upwards.
Hu Jiyan continued working, and after a moment's thought, said in a light tone, "Mr. Y's composition, 'The Wind on the Way Home,' is already of very high quality. Since he put his heart and soul into 'Red-Clad Ladies' first and completed the arrangement of this song, then 'Red-Clad Ladies' must be just as good."
Lin Yourong smiled through her mask and said, "Chi Ling is an ancient-style song."
“I know, Jingru has already mentioned it to me.” Hu Jiyan unconsciously leaned forward slightly and quickened his pace in pouring tea for them.
Seeing his impatient look, Lin Yourong lowered her head and unzipped her crossbody bag, taking out a small, bright silver USB drive.
