Chapter 78

"For the rise of folk music!"

Sssss… Duan Jiangping and Qin Jie simultaneously drew in a sharp breath.

You kid, don't you have too big an attitude?

You're just a pretty boy—why not earn some fan money instead?

Now you're thinking of saving the world?

But why do I feel you're suddenly so noble and radiant, as if you're glowing all over?

Pfft~~~ Bai Xiao Ling suddenly burst out laughing, holding back her amusement as she spoke.

"Teacher Su, wouldn't you mind turning off the light first?"

Uh… Su Meng chuckled sheepishly, not embarrassed at all.

He casually turned off a nearby floor lamp, and the light of righteousness on his body vanished instantly.

Hu Zhengyuan smiled and spoke seriously.

"Young Su, what are your thoughts on this?"

Su Meng's expression also grew more serious.

"No one understands the current state of folk music in China better than Teacher Hu."

"To truly make folk music rise, there are only two paths."

"First, from top to bottom: produce more excellent compositions to lead trends, so ordinary people realize folk music isn't as simple as they imagine."

"Second, from bottom to top: make folk music increasingly common in daily life, so it gains stronger vitality."

Oh?

His words left everyone in the office stunned.

Especially Qin Jie, Su Meng's agent, who reevaluated him in that moment.

This kid… seems to have some depth?

…

Hu Zhengyuan fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"You're right, but this task is long and arduous."

"Since young Su has this ambition, I will wholeheartedly support you."

"Fine! So it's just recording a few funeral tunes? I'll see who dares not give it their all!"

What the hell! You actually agree?

Duan Jiangping and Qin Jie were instantly speechless.

You're already into your own trashy vibe—now you want to drag artists into it too?

"Great! Old man, you're a real stand-up guy!" Su Meng slapped his thigh and gave a thumbs-up.

"I'm going to record a show in a few days."

"I'll get the sheet music ready these days—have everyone practice first."

"Once I have time, I'll handle this matter!"

"Good!" Hu Zhengyuan nodded and pointed at Bai Xiao Ling.

"This is my most accomplished student, Bai Xiao Ling."

"Though young, her mastery of folk music is already high."

"She's proficient in over a dozen instruments: suona, erhu, guzheng, yangqin, dizi, and more."

"Let her stay and assist you."

What the hell? So impressive? Su Meng was also taken aback.

Bai Xiao Ling bowed slightly, politely saying:

"I only know a little—Teacher Su's suona playing is truly peerless."

"I still need to learn much from Teacher Su; please don't hesitate to guide me."

Su Meng waved his hand, generously saying:

"What teacher? You're making me sound old."

"Call me Brother Su, Brother Meng, or even Manly Meng."

Emmm… black lines immediately appeared on Bai Xiao Ling's forehead.

Brother Su, Brother Meng—fine. But Manly Meng? What's that?
