Chapter 56: What use is keeping someone who can't even hold onto a song?
Yujie heard Jiang Cheng say he wanted to open a studio, but Jiang Cheng's attitude was lax, not looking serious at all, so Yujie didn't take it seriously.
He casually picked up the paper Jiang Cheng handed him, opened it, and glanced at it.
Just that glance, Yujie froze! Legend!
Su Manyao knew it as soon as she saw the song, because Li Qinqin had shown it to her yesterday.
Jiang Cheng is Mr. Jiang! He's the composer who was in touch with Li Qinqin!
Su Manyao calmly put the paper away, then lifted her eyes to look at Jiang Cheng.
Earlier she had heard Jiang Cheng say he wanted to open a music studio and thought it unreliable, but now she suddenly became interested if Jiang Cheng was indeed Mr. Jiang.
"This song looks not bad; did you write it yourself?" Su Manyao asked.
Actually, when Li Qinqin gave him this song, she had already studied it; moreover, he can now sing this song.
She really likes this Legend song; if she didn't want to avoid fame and becoming a star, she would want to record it with her own voice.
Jiang Cheng, sitting opposite Su Manyao, was also paying attention to Yujie's expression.
In fact, he gave this song to Yujie, harboring an expectation: whether Yujie would like it after seeing it and then say she would come to record it.
But now it seems Yujie has no interest in recording; however, that's fine, as long as Yujie is willing to help him find people from the Music Department.
"Yeah, I wrote it out of boredom." Jiang Cheng said.
Su Manyao said: "Finding people to record it, do you have any requirements?"
Jiang Cheng thought and said: "No special requirements; if there's accompaniment, use it; if not, guitar is fine; if we can record a video, even better—no need to show the face, just point the camera at the guitar."
"Okay." Su Manyao readily agreed.
Yujie eats very little; Jiang Cheng saw her like a little cat, just eating a small bun, then drinking two sips of porridge, picking two pieces of pickled radish, and said she was full, stood up, and left the cafeteria.
Watching Yujie's graceful figure as she left, Jiang Cheng, like many onlookers, couldn't take his eyes off her; he truly didn't know what she ate to grow up like that, her curves still so perfect, plus beneficial postnatal training, every frown, smile, gesture, and step seemed like high heels treading on a man's heart.
After leaving the cafeteria, Su Manyao picked up her phone and called Li Qinqin: "Last time you contacted Mr. Jiang to write a song, that was Legend, for that female star surnamed Ye, right?"
On the phone, you lightly heard Su Manyao's inquiry, and instantly felt excited, wondering if there might be a turnaround for Ye Qing's situation; could Boss be intervening to help Ye Qing get the song back? "Yes, Boss!"
"That song was written by Mr. Jiang for Ye Qing, but Zhang Anqi, just like last time, forcibly took the song away from Ye Qing."
Su Manyao said: "Hmm, I know. You go over now and help you get Ye Qing expelled, really."
Li Qinqin: "Mm-hmm, okay! I'm going now???"
"Boss, what did you say?!"
Li Qinqin was dazed, thinking she had misheard.
She had already told Su Manyao that Zhang Anqi used her power to pressure people, forcibly taking Ye Qing's song, both times the same.
In this situation, if Boss were to intervene, shouldn't she be helping Ye Qing? Why expel Ye Qing? Su Manyao repeated: "Let me say it again—go help you expel Ye Qing now; what use is keeping someone who can't even hold onto a song?"
"Remember, it's expulsion—no need for her to fulfill any obligations, just expel her; after expulsion she's free to do whatever she wants!"
"Okay, I understand, Boss."
Li Qinqin felt very sad, her voice desolate.
Ye Qing's relationship with her was not bad, but she couldn't defy Boss's orders.
Ye Qing was expelled by Boss; on a platform like Light Grace Entertainment, her opportunities would definitely be greater than elsewhere.
Now being expelled by Light Grace Entertainment, the stigma of expulsion is unpleasant; going to another entertainment company would leave a blemish, which is very disadvantageous for Ye Qing. She doesn't know why Boss issued such an order, but she dares not ask further.
While her mind was in a tangled mess, she heard Su Manyao say:
"Here's some news: you tell her yourself, Mr. Jiang might be opening a music studio; have him contact Mr. Jiang himself—whether she accepts it or not is her fate."
"Ah? Ah! Okay, okay, I got it, Boss!"
In the morning elective class, Jiang Cheng didn't attend; returning to the dorm, the two people sleeping there still hadn't gotten up.
Deng Qi, who hadn't returned to the dorm last night, came back from outside.
"Haha, look what this is!"
Deng Qi rushed into the dorm, undid his shirt buttons, pulled his shirt open, revealing a chest where the ribs were clearly visible.
"Look, look what this is!"
After shouting, he found no one paying attention; Su Peng and Liu Tao were still buried in their blankets sleeping, the dorm's air conditioner was blowing cold air, and Jiang Cheng sat at the computer clacking away, unknown what he was doing.
He was outright ignored.
But Deng Qi wasn't resigned; he quickly walked over, first pulled back Su Peng's blanket, saying, "Take a look, what is this?"
Su Peng, half-asleep, originally wanted to curse, but after a glance shouted, "Holy shit, Qi Zi, you've made it!"
Su Peng's loud shout stirred Liu Tao, who was still under the blanket, to curiously poke his head out to look; Jiang Cheng also turned his head over.
Since everyone was now looking at him, Deng Qi instantly felt proud, thinking Su Peng was still useful—if anything happened, just let Su Peng utter an "oh oh," and everyone's attention would shift.
"What is this, did you contract some serious illness?" Liu Tao asked, dazed.
Deng Qi instantly put on a displeased face and said, "Holy shit, you single dog, you don't understand anything at all!"
"Cheng bro, come come tell him what this is!"
Jiang Cheng couldn't be bothered with him, turned his face away and kept clacking on the keyboard.
On Deng Qi's chest were clusters of red marks, like those from gua sha, but the red marks were uniform in shape, resembling lip prints.
"What is it?" Liu Tao was still bewildered.
Deng Qi said: "My girlfriend sucked it!"
"You have a girlfriend?" Liu Tao exclaimed in shock! "No way." Su Peng rubbed his eyes, pulled Deng Qi over for a serious look.
Deng Qi, somewhat embarrassed, pushed Su Peng but couldn't move him.
Finally Su Peng saw clearly and shouted: "What the hell, how do these three have fingerprints?!"
"Couldn't it be that you pinched them yourself with your fingers?"
"How... how could it be! This is my girlfriend sucking it!" Deng Qi said.
He pulled up his own clothes with his other hand, about to button them! "Still saying it's not!"
Su Peng grabbed his hand, pulled him over and shouted: "Still saying it's not, don't move, I'll now try to peel one!"
Su Peng, while saying that, reached out and pinched the flesh on Deng Qi's chest, pinched with two fingers, pulled hard! The thing being pulled screamed loudly.
Just as they were speaking, Jiang Cheng's phone rang.
It was an unknown number! (End of chapter)
