Liang Yin nodded. "This show is quite interesting. It's about non-professional artists competing in singing. They invited you to be a judge, but the price is a bit low."
"They're only offering 500,000 yuan per episode."
"When this show airs, the finals of I Am the King of Songs will definitely be over. If we're the champion, and we're still only getting 500,000 yuan per episode, it's a bit less than ideal."
Lin Chudong chuckled. "That's why they invited us in advance, they want to save some money. They're also anticipating that we'll be really popular after the King of Songs finals. Besides, whether we can even win the championship is still uncertain, don't be so overconfident."
Liang Yin put her hands on her hips. "Why wouldn't I be confident? The championship is ours for sure!"
"You should accept the offer for Crossover God of Songs first, I want to go."
"Okay!"
They contacted the show's production team and confirmed the matter. The first episode's recording was scheduled for early December, right after the finals of I Am the King of Songs.
Liang Yin said, "I sent the film for review. They said it would be finished in five working days. Can we relax for a few days?"
"Yeah, I'll work on a few scores. Let's practice during the day and take it easy these next few days. We can go square dancing in the evenings."
Liang Yin: ??
In the evening, Lin Chudong insisted on dragging Liang Yin to the community downstairs to square dance.
Liang Yin never expected that Da Fei would have this hobby.
The two of them followed a group of old ladies wearing white gloves, standing in the empty space in the back row, and started to sway.
The square dance moves were all very simple, and even those without any experience could learn quickly.
After dancing for two songs, Liang Yin suddenly realized something was off during the third one.
"This song, is it ours?"
"Yes, did you recognize it?"
"The vast horizon is my love..."
A woman's boisterous voice rang out, and the atmosphere in the plaza instantly became lively. Even the onlookers couldn't help but tap their feet to the rhythm.
Liang Yin was delighted. "Has this song already become this popular?"
Quietly, this song had become popular?
Lin Chudong said, "It's normal for it to be popular. This song will be known to every household in the future."
Liang Yin was overjoyed. "Then we'll have to double the price of our songs in the future, right?"
Da Fei had sold two songs in total. The first one, Invisible Wings, had directly brought Yang Han back to fame.
The second one, Most Dazzling Ethnic Wind, was also all the rage, becoming a dance anthem. Adding a new original song, Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies, would definitely create a huge impact after it aired.
At that time, countless people would definitely come to Da Fei to write songs, and they could make a fortune just by selling songs.
Lin Chudong shook his head. "We won't sell songs in the future. The revenue is too little. We'll sign some singers later, and our company will handle the songs I write ourselves."
Liang Yin nodded, not expecting Da Fei to have this plan.
"Alright, when do we start?"
"Not in a hurry. We'll talk about this plan later. First, let's wait for The Beginning to air and use the profits to expand the company. We need to set up a film and television department. It's too expensive to always rent things."
"We'll be involved in film and television anyway, so we might as well establish a film and television department."
Liang Yin nodded, wondering how much money The Beginning would make!
"Madam Boss, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"No, why?"
"Let me take your pulse."
Liang Yin held out her hand. "Da Fei, you know how to take a pulse?"
"Yeah, a little. I taught myself."
"Oh."
Watching Lin Chudong's professional and serious manner while taking her pulse, Liang Yin was quite surprised.
大 Fei's self-taught skills are too fast, right?
It's one thing that he's proficient in all kinds of instruments, but he's also self-taught in directing, magic, cooking, and now even Traditional Chinese Medicine?
The next day, Lin Chudong received a call from Sun Xuan.
"Da Fei, there's been a change of plans. They want you to sing a duet for Serve the Country with Utmost Loyalty, with Xu Feng. If you have time, come to Jingcheng; we'll meet up."
Lin Chudong frowned slightly. "Okay, I'll go this afternoon."
As soon as he booked his ticket, Cheng Huanhuan sent a WeChat message, "You're coming this afternoon, right? Sister Deng said you don't need to book a hotel; just stay at her place."
Lin Chudong: Is it convenient for me, a man? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Sister Deng?
Cheng Huanhuan: It's okay. I've stayed here before. Anyway, Sister Deng's mansion has plenty of rooms.
Lin Chudong: Alright. It's not good to keep bothering Sister Deng. I can't go empty-handed either. What do you think I should give Sister Deng as a gift? Give me some suggestions.
Cheng Huanhuan held up her phone and handed it to Deng Siqing.
"Look, your Big Fei wants to give you a gift. Tell him what you want, quickly."
Deng Siqing looked sweet, "What's there to give? Don't waste money. Tell him not to send anything."
Lin Chudong, of course, didn't know that Cheng Huanhuan wasn't the only one on the other end of the phone.
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Oh, oh, oh, you're already starting to save money for your man? I can't just be a matchmaker for nothing. I want something, and then he can give it to me."
Cheng Huanhuan immediately sent a message to Lin Chudong.
"A La Prairie essence water, a La Mer essence, a Guerlain cream, a CPB primer, a Lancôme sunscreen and foundation…"
Lin Chudong was stunned when he saw this string of unfamiliar names.
This gift request was really specific!
But that's good, you should give people what they like when giving gifts.
Lin Chudong went straight to the mall and started purchasing things according to the list.
Deng Siqing snatched the phone, "What are you doing? You're asking for the moon! You're so shameless!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what's wrong with spending a little of your boyfriend's money? If it weren't for me, would you two even have had a chance to meet, and live at your place? Or, should I go home tonight? It's not convenient staying here."
"No, no, no, Sister Huan, I was wrong, please don't leave, if you leave, Da Fei and I won't have anything to talk about."
"Hmph, you know how important I am now?"
At five in the afternoon, Lin Chudong got off the plane. This time, Deng Siqing was there to pick him up.
Seeing Lin Chudong, she was full of joy.
"Da Fei!"
Lin Chudong, wearing a mask, walked out of the airport discreetly.
His popularity was quite high now. If he didn't disguise himself at all, he would definitely be recognized.
Deng Siqing also wore a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, fully armed.
After getting into Deng Siqing's BMW 5 Series, the two of them headed straight for the restaurant.
Deng Siqing said, "Da Fei, I watched the show. The effect was amazing. How many episodes have you recorded?"
"I've recorded one that hasn't aired yet, and it's also first place."
"Really amazing."
Deng Siqing's words sounded like commercial flattery, but she was truly sincere.
In the car, Da Fei's "The You of the Past" started playing. Naturally, the playlist was filled with his songs.
Lin Chudong smiled, "Thank you for your support, Sister Deng. I brought you a gift, I don't know if you'll like it."
"Oh, you're too kind. Don't bring anything next time, you're spending too much money."
"It's nothing. Is Director Sun and Xu Feng here today?"
"Yeah, you know Xu Feng, right? You were on a show together."
"I've met him, but I don't know him. I'll get to know him this time."
The two arrived at the private dining room in the restaurant. They pushed open the door, and Xu Feng and Sun Xuan had already ordered the dishes.
"Da Fei's here! Sit down!"
Xu Feng stood up and reached out his hand towards Lin Chudong. "Da Fei, it's good to see you again. Congratulations! I heard you were first place again this episode?"
Lin Chudong shook his hand and exchanged pleasantries. Xu Feng seemed to have a good relationship with Zhang Yiran. He was quite polite to him, but he didn't know which side he was on.
Sun Xuan poured a glass of wine for the two of them and said,
"Da Fei, I heard Zhang Yiran is giving you a hard time?"
Lin Chudong was taken aback. Since Director Sun asked, it meant Xu Feng's relationship with Director Sun was probably quite close.
"Sort of, a bit targeted."
Sun Xuan said, "Zhang Yiran has a wide network of contacts, and she has good relationships with some sponsors."
Xu Feng said, "It's not that I'm speaking up for Sister Zhang, she wouldn't stoop to doing anything卑鄙. At most, she'd use her connections to pressure you, but her agent is pretty nasty, so watch out."
Lin Chudong smiled, not daring to speak carelessly, "Thank you, Brother Xu, I'll drink to you."
He didn't know which side Xu Feng was on, so it was better to be cautious.
Lin Chudong asked, "Isn't Huan-jie here?"
"No, Huanhuan has a performance tonight."
Lin Chudong didn't pay it any mind and started drinking with Sun Xuan.
Xu Feng was also a veteran singer. This wasn't his first time on the Spring Festival Gala, but this time his song choice wasn't good, and he was rejected in the first review, so he could only join Lin Chudong's side.
A duet was also fine. Xu Feng's voice was also good, and the collaboration with Lin Chudong should be very effective.
After a few rounds of drinks, Xu Feng put his arm around Lin Chudong's shoulder, reeking of alcohol.
"Brother, listen to me."
"I admire your musical talent. You call the shots on how we rehearse on stage!"
Lin Chudong was supporting his chin with one hand, clearly already tipsy.
Sun Xuan had downed several beers on his own, and the three of them ended up completely wasted.
Deng Siqing quietly paid the bill, then helped Lin Chudong out and into her car.
Just as they were about to get in, Lin Chudong suddenly opened his eyes.
"Wait a moment, let me finish throwing up before I get in!"
Lin Chudong found a corner and threw up, then got into Deng Siqing's car.
Sun Xuan pointed at Lin Chudong and said, "Big Fei, your tolerance has improved."
When they got home, Deng Siqing helped Lin Chudong.
And Lin Chudong's arm was around her shoulders.
This time, it was obviously much less effort than the last time, so much so that Sister Deng even had time to feel shy.
Once inside the room, Lin Chudong lay down on the bed, dazed. The familiar smell of the quilt gave him a sense of security.
Deng Siqing held a hot towel and walked over to Lin Chudong.
"Da Fei, turn over, I'll wipe your face."
Da Fei grunted twice, as still as a dead pig.
"Be a good boy, Da Fei, wipe your face and then sleep!"
Deng Siqing turned his head over, and at this moment, she really felt a bit like his mother.
That Director Sun is really something. No wonder Cheng Huanhuan calls him a drunkard; he drinks so much every time.
He wiped his face, wiped his body, and washed his feet, following a similar routine to last time.
Deng Siqing took out a box of cotton swabs and turned on the flashlight on her phone.
She was getting ready to clean Da Fei's ears.
Deng Siqing sat on the bed, lifting Da Fei's head and placing it on her lap.
The phone's flashlight illuminated the way as she gently cleaned his ears.
Deng Siqing's legs were incredibly soft, and Lin Chudong comfortably rubbed against them before closing his eyes again.
Deng Siqing truly enjoyed this moment of tranquility.
Just then, the door opened, and Cheng Huanhuan returned.
Deng Siqing rolled her eyes. "Keep it down, you scared me."
Seeing the scene before her, Cheng Huanhuan said, annoyed, "I finally understand why married women are called brides. It's because the man has found a new mother."
"Don't be so sarcastic! Da Fei didn't throw up in the car today, but your boss is still the same."
Cheng Huanhuan was speechless. "A drunkard. Let Da Fei practice later. Get him drunk once, and see if he dares to drink again!"
Deng Siqing was actually quite looking forward to them drinking. After drinking, Da Fei was like a good kid, letting her do as she pleased.
Taking care of Da Fei was something she had become quite addicted to recently, especially when he was drunk.
Cheng Huanhuan asked, "Do you need any help?"
"No need. Go to sleep quickly and close your door."
Cheng Huanhuan was stunned, "You're sleeping here tonight?"
Deng Siqing said, "He sleeps so soundly, would he even know? In case he throws up in the middle of the night, I can take care of him."
"Tsk tsk, things are moving fast. You're already sharing a bed, and Da Fei still thinks of you as his big sister."
"I'm happy to. Close the door!"
Cheng Huanhuan went back to her room, annoyed.
Deng Siqing dealt with one ear for him, gently turned him over, and started on the second one.
Lin Chudong lay on her lap, his nose pressed against her chest. The faint scent enveloped him, and he slept soundly.
After the ear cleaning, Deng Siqing wanted to get up, but Da Fei suddenly reached out and placed his hand on her leg.
"Da Fei, be good, I'll get you a pillow."
Deng Siqing coaxed Lin Chudong like a child, gently lifting his head. Only then did she pull her long legs out.
Then, she got two pillows, propping one up for him and lying down on the other herself.
The lights were turned off, and moonlight spilled into the room.
Watching Da Fei sleeping soundly beside her, Deng Siqing's heart beat a little faster.
She opened her phone and typed into the search engine.
"Do men remember what happens when they're drunk?"
The answer, of course, was no. Not to mention things that happened while sleeping, they might not even remember what happened while they were drinking.
Deng Siqing put down her phone, mustered her courage, and reached into his covers, grabbing Lin Chudong's hand.
In the quiet room, Deng Siqing could hear her own heart pounding. A shred of guilt was suppressed by excitement.
I need to wake up early tomorrow. Anyway, he won't know.
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, set an alarm for five o'clock tomorrow morning."
"I have set an alarm for five o'clock tomorrow morning."
At eight o'clock the next day, Lin Chudong opened his eyes, finding himself in a familiar place.
He'd slept very comfortably. He'd drunk about the same amount as last time, but this time, Lin Chudong felt a bit better.
Your alcohol tolerance can indeed be improved by drinking more and practicing, but at his level, he still blacked out.
He couldn't remember anything from yesterday. Seeing the freshly washed clothes on the bedside table, from the inside out, he felt a little embarrassed.
Not only had he inconvenienced Deng Siqing by staying over, but he'd also made her prepare clothes for him. It was really... well, it was too much.
Lin Chudong closed his eyes. The treasure chest was due. It should have arrived last night. He'd wasted several hours. Drinking really does mess things up!
Treasure chest opening!
[Golden Treasure Chest x1] [Never Get Drunk]
Seeing this skill, Lin Chudong slapped his thigh, "Finally!"
He used to think it didn't matter that he couldn't drink. He just wouldn't drink. It would also affect his voice.
But now, social situations really required drinking. Sun Xuan was his leader and his benefactor. How could he refuse a toast? He couldn't bring himself to do it.
Lin Chudong didn't hesitate and immediately used it.
Drinking again? He'll show Director Sun what's what!
