Chapter 207

But He Jinzhi had insisted on squeezing her in, to fulfill his girlfriend's dream of becoming a star.

Many of the company's staff frowned when talking about this behind the scenes, but none dared say anything.

"Young Master He, it's been a long time." Fang Lan said with a smile.

She had already vaguely guessed what this person wanted to do.

"Oh..." He Jinzhi paused, then said, "I heard that recently, you've been preparing to put out an album for a male streamer?"

"Yes, what about it?" Fang Lan didn't dodge the question.

"Oh, I heard that streamer seems to be out of contact, right?" He Jinzhi thought for a moment, then said, "Let me be straight with you. I heard you've already gathered quite a few songs for that album. I want to pick one from it and give it to Xuexue."

Xuexue—that was He Jinzhi's girlfriend.

After Fang Lan heard this.

Her first reaction was also to be stunned.

"You—what do you mean?" Fang Lan rubbed her ear.

"I mean, pick one song from the album you're currently working on, and give it to Xuexue." He Jinzhi said.

"Oh, you mean," Fang Lan understood, "have that—Xuexue, sing it? Sure, when we do the Duanyanchang Society later, she can just sign up."

"Not a cover. I mean, give the song to Xuexue." He Jinzhi said.

"You mean—" Fang Lan blinked, "turn it into Xuexue's own song?"

He Jinzhi's laughter came through the other end of the phone, "Xuexue has real talent, she just hasn't come across a good song, otherwise she'd have been famous long ago—"

"No." Fang Lan cut He Jinzhi off directly.

He Jinzhi was also stunned.

He hadn't expected that, in this company, someone would actually dare to confront him so bluntly.

143. (2/6) One person, suppressing four?!

"Fang Lan, are you sure you're okay?" He Jinzhi dropped the act and said it straight out.

"This 'Wings of Time' project was something I reported on at the board meeting," Fang Lan also stopped beating around the bush and spoke plainly, "in the end, I'm only the executor right now, responsible for collecting Brother Shiguang's songs and handling the album production afterward."

"Of course, I also think Xuexue truly has talent, but taking a song from 'Wings of Time' to give to her—I don't have that authority, so I'm really sorry."

Without waiting for He Jinzhi to say more, Fang Lan jumped in first, "If there's nothing else, I still have a meeting to attend. Goodbye."

After saying that, Fang Lan hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line, He Jinzhi's face turned green.

The key thing was, he'd been given the cold shoulder—and by a planning department head, no less.

And He Jinzhi's girlfriend, that pretty face Xuexue, was right beside him at that moment, waiting for good news.

This made He Jinzhi lose even more face.

"Is this company your dad's, or is it Fang Lan's?" Xuexue beside him said in a sarcastic tone.

He Jinzhi said nothing.

"Jinzhi, you're at least the chairman's son. For such a small thing, you let a tiny planning department head push you around?"

"Go find your dad! As long as your dad agrees, wouldn't Fang Lan have to carry it out?" Xuexue said.

He Jinzhi thought it over, then nodded.

And it was around this time.

The Douyin headquarters sent over the latest news.

Douyin had decided to agree to the joint three-party plan proposed by Tianyin Music and Shark Live.

Douyin would mainly be in charge of the upcoming traffic inflow.

Tianyin would handle the concert and Brother Shiguang's music production.

The Shark platform would steadily consolidate Brother Shiguang's livestream room.

With that, after the Sanfang Society talks, the "Wings of Time" plan was officially launched.

The initial plan was: as long as Brother Shiguang's songs reached ten in number, the album would be released, synchronized with a massive "Cloud Concert" built on the Shark and Douyin platforms.

And all three parties intended to hold this Cloud Concert at the end of this year.

That is, the end of December.

Why?

It was to put on a New Year's Eve Cloud Concert!

This was something the entertainment and media world had never done before!

New Year's Eve was already a major focal point!

Let alone with Brother Shiguang's fully hyped-up songs!

Add in the three parties joining forces, and it would absolutely become the hottest topic at the end of this year and the start of the new one!

Of course, whether this wish could be realized.

There was still one uncertain factor, and that was the streamer Brother Shiguang.

He had already sung seven songs so far.

It was now November. Whether the remaining three songs could come out before the end of December.

That, nobody could say for sure.

After all, Brother Shiguang was free; no one could control him.

On the highway.

Did Ning Chen's RV was speeding along.

The navigation in his mind showed he had already left Beihe Province.

Continuing north.

Next stop, the Northeast region.

His destination was the small border town of Mohe in the Northeast.

There, he would wait for a once-in-an-age spectacle called the "Night Elf Rime."

Rime itself is already an exceedingly rare sight.

As for the Night Elf Rime, for the most part it likely exists only in rumor.

Because the so-called Night Elf Rime has long since transcended rime itself — the focus lies on those three words, "Night Elf."

In Brother Shiguang's livestream room.

There were still far too many viewers who had not yet stepped out of last night's song "Maple."

The bullet comments were numerous, all talking about last night's song.

Yet the streamer Brother Shiguang, as always, said nothing, focused entirely on driving.

And so, a peaceful day passed.

At dusk.

The East Sea City Bureau received news from over in Yun Province.

It had been sent from Anji City in Yun Province.

"What?" Liu Ju Zhiguo held the phone, his brow furrowed. "Oh, oh, oh — so you're saying the one you caught is the — accomplice of that Li Sai Gao from the online platform?"

The other end of the line gave a detailed account of the situation.

Liu Ju Zhiguo listened, his eyes.

Slowly widening.

For a long while, he gave no further response.

After hanging up, just as he reached the office door, he happened to see Zhao Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng." Liu Zhiguo called out.

Zhao Mengmeng came in.

"There's new progress from Yun Province," Liu Ju Zhiguo said.

In fact, by now, Zhao Mengmeng no longer cared about the matter over in Yun Province.

Because Ning Chen had already returned safely.

Zhao Mengmeng looked at Liu Ju; she noticed his brow was furrowed, and immediately realized the news was probably not good.

"Liu Ju, what is it?" Zhao Mengmeng said.

"Go on, shut the door," Liu Ju said, his expression very grave.

Zhao Mengmeng looked at Liu Ju, her face full of doubt, rose and went to close the office door.
