But inside, she nearly burst into tears.

Who would have thought that I, Liu Huan, would one day be rejected by others?

My lifelong reputation!

Su Meng glanced at Yang Boss and Liu Tianxian, both stunned, shook his head slightly, then added.

"Since you invited them, invite two more."

"Give Yang Boss and Liu Tianxian each one."

"Hmm… they pay."

"What about us?" Yang Boss and Liu Tianxian said in unison.

Yang Boss thought for a moment, then asked weakly.

"Um… Su Meng, you're not going to make me sing 'Fourth Ring Traffic Jam' and make Liu Tianxian sing 'Third Ring Traffic Jam,' are you?"

Su Meng was speechless—so you two can't get past this traffic jam joke?

He said irritably.

"What are you thinking? Where would there be that much traffic every day?"

"Relax, it's just normal pop songs."

"Da Da Mimi, I wrote you a song called 'Love's Sustenance' while I had nothing else to do—record it too."

"'Love's Sustenance'?" Yang Boss blinked, momentarily stunned.

"For some reason, as soon as I heard the name, I felt an instant connection to it! 'Three-One-Seven'"

"Su Meng, thank you so much."

Su Meng waved his hand dismissively.

"I'll find you a teacher later, Huan Ge—study hard."

"You don't need to thank me—it's just an ordinary song."

"Just do your best. After all, your vocal prowess… even a good song would be wasted on you."

"Su Meng~~~" Yang Boss immediately shut down.

I was just sincerely thanking you, almost moved to offer myself in return.

And now you're mocking me like this?

"What about me? What about me?" Liu Tianxian was also excited.

Su Meng looked at her and nodded slightly.

"Your vocal prowess is a bit better than Yang Boss's."

"The song I prepared for you suits you—it's called 'The Rest of My Life.'"

Yes, the song Su Meng prepared for Liu Tianxian was the folk song "The Rest of My Life" from his past life.

This song was originally performed by male singer Ma Liang, but the version that truly went viral was the cover by female singer Wang Erlang.

From a technical standpoint, the song has low vocal range demands and is easy to sing.

But to truly perform it well and move listeners requires intense emotional investment.

Liu Tianxian's vocal prowess is average, but still passable.

Moreover, she is a capable actress with profound understanding of emotion.

Giving her this song is appropriate.

But when Su Meng mentioned "The Rest of My Life," many were taken aback.

Isn't that the blessing Liu Tianxian once said at someone else's wedding?

Did Su Meng really turn it into a song?

Liu Tianxian's face instantly flushed red.

Whenever "The Rest of My Life" came up, she thought of "have a baby soon"—so embarrassing…

Su Meng paid them no more attention—he picked up his pen and began writing the score swiftly.

"Huan Ge, arrange the band for me—later I'll meet with them to discuss the arrangement."

"I already have some ideas about the arrangement."

Are those really just ideas?

Liu Huan choked, refusing to speak to him.

When you did "Song of the Hero," you said the same thing.

And what happened? You handled lyrics, composition, and arrangement all by yourself.

Now you're doing it again? Do you think I'll believe you?

"Fine, fine, I'll take care of all this."

"If you two trust me, I'll produce these two songs… what's that look for?"

Seeing the two women's strange glances, Liu Huan nearly burst into tears.

My lifelong reputation!

…

"Su Meng, Su Meng, what about me?"

Seeing she alone had been left out, Deng Ziqi panicked.

Su Meng chuckled, his tone dripping with persuasion.

"Zi Qi, let me say this—you don't need anyone else to write songs for you."

"Who are you? The Little Empress of Hong Kong, a powerhouse vocalist in the Chinese music scene!"

"You can write, you can sing—you're a complete music producer!"

"You still need others to write songs for you? That's looking down on you!"

"You must believe that your music is the best!"

Hearing Su Meng praise her like this, Deng Ziqi immediately perked up, saying proudly.

"Of course."

"Counting the time, these few songs are about to be released simultaneously."

"Liu Tianxian, Da Mimi, don't blame me for suppressing you on the download chart."

"Oh right, and Xiao Yueyue, if you lose, don't cry."

Boss Yang and Liu Tianxian were not professional singers, so they naturally didn't care about the song charts.

Xiao Yueyue even said he dared not.

My kindergarten math-level song about traffic jams... oh, the Five Rings Song, still want to beat a professional singer at the level of a little goddess?

You must be dreaming!

Only Su Meng glanced at Deng Ziqi with a blank expression, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

If she gets suppressed on the chart by a few non-professional singers, I wonder if this little girl will cry...

In the live stream, the danmu suddenly became lively.

"Did I hear wrong? Su Meng writing a song?"

"Yes, you heard right, Su Meng wrote a song singing about the Olympic spirit... pfft! Singing about the traffic jams on the Five Rings of the Imperial Capital, 'The Five Rings Song'."

"Hahaha, Su Meng writing a song... dying of laughter, by the way, how could such a so improper Su Meng possibly write a serious song?"

"Who said that? Did you forget 'Shanhe Tu'? He is still capable of writing serious songs."

"Pfft! 'Shanhe Tu' only sang half and then stopped? When will the full version come out? Can't I just download it?"

"For some reason, as soon as I hear 'Love's Offering', I feel it matches Da Mimi perfectly."

"The Rest of My Life", as soon as I hear it, I think of the fairy sister's fairy lines; I hope Su Meng writes it well and doesn't ruin it."

"??? If I'm not mistaken, Su Meng is here today to record funeral songs, right? When will the recording start?"

"Everyone, you are all quite familiar with the song I'm going to record today, right?"

Finally getting these people settled, Su Meng turned his head and asked the people from the three folk music orchestras.

"Teacher Su, look at what you're saying."

"Before we came to the Yinyuexue Academy in the Imperial Capital, we had already received the sheet music and practiced it long ago."

One person said with a smile.

Su Meng nodded, not surprised either.
