Tang Li went straight to Dream Realization with Tang Zitong.
The equipment in the recording studio could be said to be one of the best in the industry. However, it was still unused and Tang Zitong could use it today.
Tang Zitong held the Guzheng and was inexplicably nervous. âFourth Sister, why donât you play the song? Iâm afraid Iâll mess it up.â
âSecond Sister, you have to believe in yourself.â Tang Li encouraged her. âIn the future, there will definitely be a lot of occasions where you have to perform a song.â
âButâ¦â Tang Zitong thought about it and felt that it made sense. She took a deep breath and nodded.â Okay. â
There was no hurry to record the song now. She planned to take her time practicing it first.
Tang Li sat at the side and listened to her practice. From time to time, she would point out when the tone wasnât right.
The two of them stayed in the studio for the entire afternoon. Tang Zitong only stopped when Qi Yihan came to pick Tang Li up.
Tang Li said to Tang Zitong, âSecond Sister, I think you can start recording tomorrow morning.â
Tang Zitong nodded and the three of them walked downstairs.
When they went downstairs, Tang Li told Qi Yihan about their visit to Director Ning today.
Qi Yihan thought for a moment before saying, âAlthough Director Ning has a lot of say, if others and the people who invested in this drama object, the song Second Sister plays might not be included in the drama.â
âWhat should we do?â Tang Zitong was a little worried.
Qi Yihan had already thought of a solution. âIâll get Secretary Si to go with you tomorrow. With Secretary Si around, they wonât dare to play tricks.â
Tang Zitong thought of how Secretary Si complained that she often troubled him with small things and didnât want to bother him. âForget it. Secretary Si is too busy.â
âIâll give him some time off.â
âWell⦠okay then.â
They watched as Tang Zitong got into the car and left reluctantly.
Then, Tang Li smiled and said, âSecond Sister is not on good terms with Secretary Si now.â
Qi Yihan smiled. âYou seem to want Second Sister to hate Secretary Si.â
âNot really. I just hope that she can help Secretary Si increase his EQ.â
These words made Qi Yihan smile.
Tang Li was charmed by his smile. She stood on her tiptoe and kissed Qi Yihan on the face.
Qi Yihanâs gaze darkened. He reached out his arm and pulled her onto his lap, giving her a passionate kiss.
He only let go of Tang Li when she was panting.
Tang Li laid on his chest and panted. When she was able to catch her breath, she said to him, âToday, Butler Yang reminded me that all the Qi members will be coming to the Qi Mansion and asked us to eat in the dining room for the time being.â
âYes, thatâs the Qi familyâs rule.â
Tang Li had experienced what it felt like eating with so many members of the Qi family before, so she commented, âItâll definitely be lively again.â
Qi Yihan rubbed her back and said after a few seconds, âAs long as they donât go overboard, you can turn a blind eye.â
These words amused Tang Li. âIâm just afraid that these people will come to me to complain about every petty thing.â
Qi Yihan thought for a moment and helped her come up with an idea. âIf itâs not something big, let Butler Yang handle it. Also, Second Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law are also there to help you.â
âTrue.â
As expected, the next day, people came one after another. As the head of the Qi family, Tang Li had to be there to receive everyone.
She wasnât able to go to the entertainment company, so she called Tang Zitong.
Tang Zitong understood. âAlright, go ahead. Iâll call Secretary Si as soon as possible. Although heâs a little annoying, heâs a capable person. Maybe he can give me some advice when the time comes. Heheâ¦â
Hearing that, Tang Li was relieved.
As soon as Tang Zitong finished talking to Tang Li, she called Secretary Si.
Since she had something to ask of him, Tang Zitong softened her tone and asked ingratiatingly, âSecretary Si, are you free this morning?â
She thought that he would say that he didnât have time, but Secretary Si replied straightforwardly, âYes.â
Tang Zitong was stunned for a moment and quickly said, âHereâs the thing. I want to ask you for a favor. Come to Dream Realization later. Iâm going to bring the recorded song to the film crew of âDivine Phoenixâ today. Come with me. I donât know how to talk to them. You can help me.â
âAlright.â
âEr⦠Arenât you going to think about it?â
Tang Zitong had a feeling that something wasnât right when Secretary Si answered so straightforwardly.
Secretary Si, âIâll go over now. Are you there?â
âYes.â
âAlright.â
Then, he hung up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the call was cut off, she deliberately took out her phone to check if she had called the wrong person.
âThatâs the right number! Is it because Secretary Si is happy today that he treated me so friendly? Whatever, as long as heâs willing to help. Hehe ~â
Anyway, she was thick-skinned and did not mind his sharp tongue.
After Secretary Si arrived, Tang Zitong brought him straight into a room. âIâll play it for you first. Listen from the perspective of the audience. If you think itâs okay, weâll go to the studio to do the recording. After the recording, we can go to see Director Ning.â
âSure.â
Secretary Si was wearing an iron-gray suit and his hair was combed neatly. The gold-rimmed glasses he wore concealed much of the sharpness in his eyes, making him look gentlemanly.
After Tang Zitong sat beside the Guzheng, she started playing.
Secretary Si listened attentively. After she finished playing, he said, âYour skills are not bad, but I donât feel enough emotions.â
With that, he walked to Tang Zitong and picked up the score beside her. He looked at it for a while and said, âSince this song is filled with emotions and sadness, you have to show sadness through the song. There is very little sadness in your performance just now.â
Tang Zitong frowned. She felt that she had already performed her sadness very well.
Secretary Si knew what she was thinking from her expression. He asked, âHave you had a boyfriend before?â
Tang Zitong was worried that Secretary Si would look down on her for being single, so she lied, âOf course.â
Secretary Siâs heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously pursed his thin lips and asked, âAre you still together?â
Tang Zitong was caught off guard by his questioning.
âNope.â
âDid you dump him or did he dump you?â
ââ¦Of course I dumped him!â
It would be embarrassing if she said that he dumped her.
Secretary Siâs expression became even more serious. Then, he said, âWhether itâs you who dumped him or him who dumped you, it proves that youâre a failure in life, because you canât even manage your relationships well.â
Tang ZItong was speechless. Didnât he know he wasnât supposed to say that?
