The other party that Starlight Music was liaising with was Dream Dragon Games, and the game with the order demand was called “Hero’s Mate”.

Dream Dragon is a very large game company.

This game, “Hero’s Mate”, was just one of the medium and small-scale projects developed by their teams.

At this moment.

Dream Dragon’s “Hero’s Mate” game development department.

Game Director Cheng Feifan was banging the table: “The game is about to undergo internal testing soon, and yet you’re telling me the theme music for the fifth level isn’t ready yet?”

“We’re rushing them…”

The subordinate in charge of the music part spoke with a face full of shame, “Who knew they’d be so unreliable, I thought after all they are a branch of ’ Starlight Entertainment in Qin Continent, their standards shouldn’t be too bad. I will definitely settle the score with them.”

“Idiots!”

Cheng Feifan’s anger didn’t diminish, “You decided to cooperate with them without conducting a proper investigation beforehand, did you pick them because they were cheaper, how much kickback did you take?”

“None!”

Hearing these words, the music lead’s face turned white, he stammered, Director, I truly did not. They were very confident during the initial discussions, we had even added a clause for penalties in case of breaching the contract, if they can’t produce work to our requirements, we can claim compensation, seeing them sign such a hefty breach penalty, I thought they could do it!”

Cheng Feifan felt a headache, “Dream Dragon is such a large company, do we really need their breach penalty!”

To Cheng Feifan’s right.

The deputy director also frowned and said, “Don’t cooperate with this company again in the future, put them on the blacklist!”

“Understood!”

The music lead kept nodding, then gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll press them now, if they can’t give a satisfactory answer today, I’ll cancel this cooperation and make them compensate for our losses!”

Cheng Feifan didn’t say anything.

The music lead dials a number, just about to blow his top, but his face suddenly changes, “The new composition is already sent over? Don’t blame me for being blunt, if it still doesn’t work this time, we will cancel our agreement, besides I will let the whole industry know how bad your company’s performance is! ” After saying that, the music lead angrily hung up the phone.

He then turned to look at Cheng Feifan again.

He resumed his humble manner, “Director, they’ve sent over another piece, I’ll listen to it right now…”

“Play it aloud.”

Cheng Feifan said coldly.

The music lead was as silent as a cicada in winter, resignedly nodded his head, opened his email, and saw Starlight Music’s new work.

The title is “Laughter in Jianghu”.

If this song doesn’t pass, he’s going to have a hard time today.

Taking into account the songs sent by Starlight Music previously, the music lead suddenly felt…

Today, his odds don’t look good.

“What are you dilly-dallying for?”

Cheng Feifan’s murderous gaze swept over.

The music lead shivered as he clicked the play button.

Cheng Feifan said displeasedly, “Do you want me to listen to the drone of mosquitoes with this volume!”

The music lead clumsily turned the phone volume to maximum, and connected the phone to the conference room’s sound system, and inadvertently increased the volume there as well.

Just as the prelude finished.

When the music lead suddenly turned up the volume to its maximum, coupled with the excellent acoustics of the sound system, the first few lines of “Laughter in Jianghu” rang out like a thunderclap:

“Laughter in Jianghu, grudges are resolved!”

“Men duel, smiles hide blades!”

“Worldly Laughter, laughs at loneliness!”

“Heart too high, unattainable…”

The sudden increase in volume startled everyone present, their eardrums buzzing.

“Idiot!”

The deputy director’s heart rate accelerated from the shock, he was about to scold the music lead when he was stunned to see Cheng Feifan standing up.

“I’ll just…”

The music lead fumbled for the volume button.

But Cheng Feifan abruptly said, “Don’t move.”

The music lead was immediately scared into immobility, the song was being played on a repeating loop through the loudspeaker:

“Moonlight shines, road is long.”

“People grow old, hearts remain young.”

“Can’t love enough, can’t let go.”

“Can’t forget, your goodness.”

Cheng Feifan had his eyes slightly closed.

As the simple lyrics flowed, the image of a young man wandering the world with his sword seemed to emerge in front of him.

Grudges and fairness.

Pleasantness disguising malice.

The young man eventually goes with the wind, stirring up the bloody storm and becoming a figure feared by everyone in the world.

Later.

He met a girl.

The girl looked too much like his deceased childhood sweetheart.

He fell in love with her, but she left him, because the girl didn’t want to be anyone else’s substitute.

The young man searched for her for decades, roamed the world, traversed mountains and rivers, yet he still couldn’t forget the girl’s goodness. At this time, he had already become a well-known hero among the people, but no one could see the loneliness in his eyes.

Who exactly is the one he loves?

He knows it clearer than anyone else!

No one can be replaced by anyone else. A true heart can only have one place, I love you, not because you resemble her…

At this moment.

Not only Cheng Feifan.

Everyone in the room, who were initially startled by the volume of the song, were gradually drawn in by it. Their expressions gradually changed, whether it was the lyrics or the melody, this song was a perfect match for the game’s story!

Especially when the following lyrics rang out:

“Such as flowers are not flowers, mist is not mist, the endless river cannot be retained, a body full of heroic aspirations and iron-like determination, it turns out that heroes are lonely…”

Cheng Feifan suddenly opened his eyes!

Flowers are not flowers…

Mist is not mist…

If this endless river can’t be retained, then no matter where in the world, no matter how many years, I’m going to find you and tell you:

I love you not because you are like someone, but because you are you.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This story comes from Cheng Feifan.

Coming from his dream of a wandering world he had when he was young, and some private experiences that are not worth telling to the outsiders.

After developing the game “Hero’s Mate”, Cheng Feifan didn’t have a sense of achievement in realizing his dream.

But after hearing this song, Cheng Feifan suddenly felt, this story, was finally complete.

“Laughter in Jianghu, loves freedom.”

“Guitar or flute, pour the wine.”

“Laugh at the sky, forgetting everything.”

“Casual like the wind, light and floating…”

When the young man returns, his temples are already gray, but she still looks as youthful as ever, leaning on each other like a picture.

Cheng Feifan suddenly felt a prickling sensation in his eyes.

At first listen, I did not understand the meaning of the music, but at second listen, I became a person in the song.

When the singing gradually faded.

Everyone’s hearts moved slightly along with the resonating eardrums. When everyone realized that Cheng Feifan’s eyes were red, they couldn’t help but surround him:

“Director, are you alright?”

Cheng Feifan waved his hand and said, “This one is it, what’s the name of the song?”

The music lead nodded vigorously, “Laughter in Jianghu!”

Compared to the emotions of other people just listening to the song, he, with his professional ability, had already appreciated the high technical quality of the song.

“What a ‘Laughter in Jianghu’…”

Cheng Feifan’s expression was complicated, just as he was about to leave the room he suddenly stopped, “Continue collaborating with this company in the future, and make sure to thank the lyricist and the composer of the song for me when the official handover occurs.”
