Chapter 423

The phone line fell silent for a moment, then a voice spoke slowly.

"I understand what you mean; that is actually a good line of thought."

"It seems we are going to be busy soon..."

The two seemed to be speaking in riddles, as if they had said something, yet as if they had said nothing at all.

After hanging up the phone, the bureau chief fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally made a decision and picked up a red telephone on the desk.

"Chief, I suggest launching a joint operation..."

At the entrance of Daping Village Primary School, Su Meng leaned against the school sign, holding a thermos cup in his hands, looking like an old veteran cadre.

The other few people, seeing his calm demeanor, were each nearly dying of anxiety.

"Su Meng, aren't you the least bit worried?"

Boss Yang could no longer hold back.

Su Meng spat out a mouthful of tea dregs and said calmly.

"Calm down, calm down; it's just a painting, isn't it?"

"Once the price reaches my psychological threshold, the deal will naturally be made."

"If there is no suitable price, then I'll just keep it."

"What is there to be anxious about?"

Seeing the few people about to speak again, Su Meng directly changed the subject.

"Deng Ziqi, since you have nothing to do, why don't you sing a song to ease the tense atmosphere?"

What the heck?

Everyone present and in the live stream was completely stunned.

Are you seriously serious?

At a time like this, you actually still want to listen to a song?

Deng Ziqi said in a bad mood.

"I'm not in the mood; if you want to hear a song, figure it out yourself!"

Su Meng shook his head, leisurely took out his phone, and opened KuNi Music.

He only glanced at it and suddenly froze.

"Why have so many English songs suddenly appeared on the download chart?"

"You don't know?" Deng Ziqi said in surprise.

"After your '()' went viral, it triggered a craze for English songs."

"Now quite a few people are releasing English songs."

Oh? Su Meng pouted and said helplessly.

"I really don't get it; how many people can truly understand English songs? Yet everyone is flocking to them like ducks to water."

"What's wrong? Does listening to English songs make you Gao Ya?"

In front of the screens, many people's faces turned slightly red.

Damn it, I clearly forgot all my English; why did I download so many English songs?

Alright, you hit the nail on the head; I just use them to show off.

Su Meng put down his tea cup, stroked his chin, and thought for a moment.

"Xiao Yan!"

"Eh~~ Brother Su, I'm here."

The busy little assistant came running over with a skip in her step.

"I'm going to write a song in a bit; you send it to Xiao Ying and Beibei Tata."

"Tell them to find some time these days to practice and release the song."

What? Countless people in the venue and the live stream were stunned simultaneously.

Aren't we talking about your painting right now?

What's with this random plan to release a song?

"Su Meng~~~~" Deng Ziqi's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his arm, shaking him back and forth.

"You promised me you would write a song for me; you can't forget that."

Su Meng was shaken by her until he felt like he was falling apart.

"Alright, alright, I remember; however, this song is still more suitable for the three of them..."

In a dormitory at Yinyuexue Academy in the Imperial Capital.

The three loli looked at each other, then suddenly jumped up excitedly.

"Yay~~~ The Sect Master is going to write a song for us!"

"I knew it; the Sect Master wouldn't forget us!"

"Guess what song it will be? Is it another ancient-style song?"

"Who knows? The Sect Master's talent defies heaven; no matter what kind of tune, isn't it just a matter of reaching out and grabbing it?"

"Hahaha, luckily Sister Bai Xiao Ling has been forcing us to practice singing recently; now my confidence is overflowing, got it?!"

"Ding-ling-ling..." As the three were discussing heatedly, Xiao Ying's phone suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Liu Laoshi..."

Putting down the phone, Xiao Ying waved her small fist, a look of triumph on her face.

"Just look at our prestige!"

"Just now, Teacher Liu Huan called; he will personally serve as our producer and vocal coach!"

"Moreover, his recording studio is entirely ours to use for these few days!"

Beibetata also wore a smile on her face.

This is the prestige of our Sect Leader, my lord!

A star as huge as Teacher Liu Huan has come over just to ride the hype?

Ahem, ahem, ahem... saying it that way makes it sound like we're thinking too badly of him...

In a grand hall in the Imperial Capital, computers were arranged everywhere, and a person sat before each one.

Each face was serious, the aura of a great battle wafting toward them.

On the command platform, several people sat.

In the central position, the Director, wearing an administrative jacket, looked perfectly calm.

An administrative jacket beside him glanced at the scene and suddenly smiled.

"I never thought a celebrity from the entertainment industry could cause such a commotion."

"You, a great Director in your own right, personally serve as the overall commander."

The Director nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"If Su Meng knew he was being used by us as a pawn, I wonder if he would jump with anger."

"It's just guiding the situation," the Deputy Commander said, unconvinced.

"By the way, you seem quite familiar with Su Meng?"

The Director shook his head slightly.

"Familiar is hardly the word; we haven't even met, but I do pay close attention to him."

"That's perfect then." The Deputy Commander immediately perked up.

"I see his screenwriting and directing abilities are very strong."

"Once 'Drawing Sword' was released, the military side couldn't stop laughing."

"Our line wants to push a TV drama recently; ge, why don't you help me make a connection?"

The Director thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"The two programs he did for the Spring Festival Gala were decided by me alone."

"If we count it that way, I and he do share some bond of gratitude."
