Chapter 168: 165. Does Zhang Shu know how to write songs?
Zhou Min was a bit curious; she also knew Qian Li, who was Zhang Siyan's best friend. Back when they were in college, even though Qian Li wasn't at their school, she would often come over to hang out with Zhang Siyan.
Later, whenever they came over, because of Sun Ermin, it was always Qian Li who helped host them, and she was always the one running around taking care of things.
"Have you forgotten the rumors within the company? And do you think it was a coincidence that Siyan and Prince Haiman got connected?" Qian Li asked.
"Uh... I really don't know. Could it be because of this young father of Siyan?" Zhou Min grew even more curious.
Qian Li nodded and said, "That's right, it's because of Zhang Shu."
"Zhang Shu and Prince Haiman are good friends, not the ordinary kind of friends; it's just like the relationship between us and Siyan."
"Do you know? When Zhang Shu introduced Prince Haiman to us back then, he didn't even have such a proud expression on his face."
"And that's not all, let me tell you..." Qian Li recounted everything she knew, making Zhou Min feel increasingly astonished.
She hadn't expected that the long-lost biological father of her college roommate would have such a massive background.
Zhou Min quickly thought of something, "Is Zhang Shu the person who plays games with Prince Haiman?"
She hadn't thought much of it before, but after Qian Li mentioned so many times how good the relationship between Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman was, she thought of this.
"Yes, that game was developed by my brother's company," Zhang Siyan admitted quite generously.
"My god, Zhang Shu and Prince Haiman are that close?" No matter what Qian Li said before, Zhou Min actually hadn't quite believed it.
But now that the topic of playing games with Prince Haiman came up, Zhou Min believed it.
At the same time, she was secretly shocked; it seemed that her good friend's father was truly an extraordinary figure.
While Zhang Ran felt proud and happy for Susu, the parents of Susu's kindergarten classmates were having a bit of a headache.
Ever since they picked up their little cubs, they kept asking for some Treasure Gourd, Treasure Gourd; at first, they were all a bit confused.
After seeing the full story explained by Teacher Mu Xi in the group chat and the assigned task, they were both happy and a bit troubled.
They were happy because this could exercise the children's abilities, but troubled because where were they supposed to find a Treasure Gourd?
The next evening, Zhang Siyan brought Qian Li and Zhou Min over to the house as guests.
Zhou Min curiously sized up Zhang Ran; she was becoming more and more curious about him, but gradually she also discovered that Zhang Ran didn't seem any different from other elders, he just looked much younger.
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, do you have time on the 10th?" Zhang Siyan said while feeding Susu.
Actually, Susu had long been able to eat by herself, but this was a way for Zhang Siyan to express her apology for not being able to spend much time with Susu lately.
Susu was also very sensible and did not refuse her mother's good intentions.
Liu Lu thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything on; my work is very leisurely now, no different from a nine-to-five."
Now, because of Ning Qing's intervention, the head nurse no longer assigned shifts to Liu Lu, and she went to work and came home at normal hours every day.
Although everyone was envious, Liu Lu was usually very good at getting along with people and had a good relationship with everyone, so no one said anything.
Moreover, Liu Lu earned less money working like this and wouldn't take a single extra cent in wages.
"I'll see how things are on my end; do you have something going on?" Zhang Sicheng asked curiously.
Zhang Siyan said, "Nothing much, it's just that the 10th is the Heavenly King Fang's concert in Shanghai, and I'm planning to invite everyone to go watch it together; after all, this is also a memory of our youth."
Liu Lu became interested after hearing this, "Then did you manage to grab tickets?"
There are very few people born in the 90s who don't like Heavenly King Fang; even if they don't like him, they don't dislike him.
If it were the old Liu Lu, she would never have even considered it, as in the past, the price of concert tickets would have been an astronomical figure for their family.
But things are different now; although Liu Lu is still penny-pinching about many things, she will pay for the things she likes.
Zhang Siyan nodded and said, "I've already entrusted someone to buy them. If everyone has time, we can go together; it'll be a nice family activity."
Originally, Zhang Siyan hadn't planned to invite her family, but Zhang Ran's actions yesterday made her start reflecting on herself, so this time she planned to go out with the whole family.
At the same time, it was also to introduce her good friends to her family; she didn't want what happened in the past to happen again.
She cherishes these friends very much now!
Seeing that Liu Lu was very interested, Zhang Sicheng immediately said, "We have time, we'll go together then."
"Good, then it's settled."
Afterward, everyone began to chat casually, but as they talked, the conversation drifted to work, especially Zhang Siyan's work.
"Have you encountered any difficulties at the company recently?" Zhang Ran asked.
Zhang Siyan said, "No, everything is going very smoothly, it's just that we are currently discussing the issue of a spokesperson."
"Right, I contacted the agents of some traffic stars today, and do you know what their quotes are? It's simply terrifying," Zhou Min said.
"If this money could hire someone like Heavenly King Fang, we'd accept it, but they are asking for so much that I feel the company won't agree."
"How much money?" Liu Lu asked curiously.
"Nearly two hundred million for three years!"
This number gave Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng a shock; although they knew celebrity endorsement fees were high, they didn't expect them to be this high.
At this moment, Zhang Ran suddenly said, "Is this Heavenly King Fang you're talking about named Fang Hua? The star from Hong Kong?"
"Yes, he was the most popular singer and actor in the 90s. Many female fans threatened to jump off buildings if he got married, which led him to keep his marriage hidden for many years." Qian Li was clearly a fan of Heavenly King Fang; she looked excited whenever she mentioned him.
"Siyan, you want to invite this Heavenly King Fang to be your spokesperson?" Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Siyan thoughtfully and said.
Zhang Siyan first nodded, then shook her head and said, "That's simply impossible. Heavenly King Fang hasn't accepted endorsements for many years, and he also said before that he didn't want to take any."
Hearing her say this, Zhang Ran didn't say anything more, just nodded.
Qian Li, who was on the side, noticed Zhang Ran's expression. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and with a look of surprise in her eyes, she suddenly asked, "Zhang Shu, do you know how to write songs?"
Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment and said, "Write songs? How would I know how to do that? I don't even know how to read sheet music, how could I write songs? Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, I was just asking out of curiosity." Hearing Zhang Ran's answer, Qian Li felt a bit disappointed in her eyes; it seemed she had guessed wrong, it probably wasn't Zhang Ran.
