Chapter 191

"Oh right, Liu Laoshi, I have a friend who also wants to record a song…"

"Well then…" Liu Huan seemed a little conflicted.

"Ziqi, normally speaking, there shouldn't be any problem."

"The main thing is I'm recording a new song these next couple of days too, so I'll be using the studio."

"Forget it, for your sake, just bring your friend over."

"Um…" Deng Ziqi wrestled with it for a long while before finally speaking up.

"The thing is, my friend wants to use your studio… to record a few funeral pieces…"

"What? How could that possibly be okay?" Liu Huan's pitch shot up at once.

"Ziqi, you know perfectly well the taboos people in the industry have about this!"

"If you record funeral pieces in my studio, how unlucky is that? Who's going to come here after that?"

"Tell your friend to find somewhere else! Beep beep beep…"

……

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Deng Ziqi clenched her teeth.

"Su Meng, don't worry, I'll definitely get the studio sorted out for you!"

"No, no, no need!" Su Meng quickly cut her off and pulled out his phone.

"Hello, Liu Laoshi…"

"What Liu Laoshi!" Liu Huan flared up on the spot.

"Just call me Huan-ge. What, you're going to be formal with your Huan-ge?"

"Heh heh, uh, Huan-ge, I'll come over in a bit to record a song."

"And while I'm at it, record a few suona pieces — the kind you play for the dead — what do you think…"

"Great!" Liu Huan got excited all at once.

"Those pieces are great! I just so happen to think the studio's feng shui isn't that great — you've come to bring me good luck!"

"So auspicious… oh right, hold on a sec! Beep beep beep…"

Su Meng had barely raised his phone when Deng Ziqi's phone rang again, Liu Huan's voice coming through.

"Ziqi, how about pushing your recording session back a few days?"

"These next few days I've got a buddy who needs to use the studio, record a few funeral pieces…"

???

Above Deng Ziqi's head, several question marks slowly floated up.

Why does it feel like… something's not quite right here?
