Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 92 92. Close Combat
Dinner time.

Liu Liyun greeted the guest very familiarly: "Xiao Zhou, Auntie won't serve you any more food, just eat more and treat it like your own home!"

Zhou Hui was also straightforward: "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't be polite, the food you cook is really delicious!"

Liu Liyun smiled and said, "It's not delicious! I've been busy with work these years, and I usually cook casually. I don't have time to study cooking. Xixi has a mother like me, so her mouth has suffered a lot!"

He laughed loudly as he spoke.

Zhou Hui also laughed, but said seriously: "Of course, a mother who can cook for her children is a good mother, but a mother who has a stable career is also an excellent mother. You and uncle have provided her with a rich life, which is better than 99% of parents in the world!"

Liu Liyun was very pleased with what he said, and she smiled so hard that a few fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"Xiao Zhou, eat some vegetables, eat more!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

"..."

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi listened to the two people talking back and forth without saying a word to each other and ate their meals in silence.

Zhou Hui's eyes moved and her attention fell on Lin Xiao, but she became restless.

"Lin Xiao, right... You and Xixi have a good relationship?" she suddenly asked.

Lin Xiao was gnawing on some pork ribs when he was stunned when he didn't expect Zhou Hui to suddenly fire at him.

"How do you think so, Sister Hui?"

"As soon as I heard Xixi was back, I rushed to meet her and even slept in her boudoir... Isn't this considered a good relationship?"

"..."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and met Zhou Hui's gaze head-on, confirming that this woman was looking for trouble.

He remained calm and laughed.

"Of course!" he said.

"Ok?"

"We have a good relationship, otherwise, my mother wouldn't treat me like her own son, right, mom?"

He looked at Liu Liyun very obediently, and his tone was even a little coquettish.

Liu Liyun smiled warmly and put a chicken wing into his bowl.

Zhou Hui took a deep breath!

He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were narrowed, as if he was smiling with a dagger hidden in his heart.

"But didn't you meet through a blind date? You haven't known each other for long, so how come your relationship is so good, even better than that of ordinary couples?" she asked.

Lin Xiao smiled calmly: "The quality of a relationship often has nothing to do with the length of time. For example, Sister Hui, you have been Xixi's agent for a short time, but I see that you are also very dedicated. You personally sent her back from such a long distance... right?"

Zhou Hui’s face twitched.

This "rebound" trick is really useful!

If I continue to question him, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that I wasn't devoted enough to Han Xixi?
How could you say such words in front of someone else's mother while eating the food she made?

This guy is really good, he is a tough guy!

"Of course, of course!" Zhou Hui smiled awkwardly.

Lin Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, looking like a harmless and sunny boy, which almost made Zhou Hui angry to death.

……

This close combat ended with Lin Xiao narrowly winning.

Liu Liyun suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, why did Xixi come back so suddenly this time? Didn't she say last time that she had to record a new song and prepare for the Tomato Channel's New Year's Eve party? She should be very busy these days!"

"Don't mention it!"

Zhou Hui sighed and said, "Originally, I chose a sweet song called "Enemies". Although the quality is average, it is still good for consolidating fans and performing on New Year's Day.

"As a result, just because we hesitated for a few days, the song was snatched away by a big-name singer in the company... At your age, it's really shameless to sing such a sweet song!"

Zhou Hui was obviously very angry, and she blurted out some complaints in front of Liu Liyun. Liu Liyun didn't take it seriously.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up instead. He finally understood why Han Xixi had been in a depressed mood since he came back.

"But, didn't Xixi already record this song before?" he asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hui looked at him strangely.

His eyes clearly said: You know a lot!

She said even more angrily, "It was because Xixi sang this average song to an excellent level of 80 points that we were attacked by others. Then, when we hesitated, the opponent started to steal the tower, catching us off guard!"

Lin Xiao smacked his lips twice, and he understood the situation.

Not all songs can be seen at a glance whether they will become popular!
Some songs are average, but the singers can sing them and make them popular.

Some songs are well-written, but the writers have poor singing skills, so they are not popular - but they become extremely famous when they are covered by professional singers.

This is the case with the song "Enemy".

At first, no one in the company's music library looked down on me.

As a result, as soon as Han Xixi recorded it, the brilliance of this song was discovered by other singers, and then everyone thought that they could definitely sing better than her, and began to compete openly and secretly!
Han Xixi is still a newcomer, so of course he can only suffer in silence over such things.

There was silence at the dinner table.

"Then we have to sing new songs? I think Xixi's last song 'Human World' was very nice!" Liu Liyun said.

"No, Auntie!"

Zhou Hui said sadly, "We have already discussed this with the TV station. If we go back on our word at the last minute, they will be dissatisfied with Xixi!"

Liu Liyun nodded, these things were not that difficult to understand.

"What about finding another song?"

"There are no other songs! There is only this song, 'Enemy', which was picked out by the music director with great difficulty. Now that it has been taken away, it is not easy to find another song, especially a sweet song, which is even more difficult!"

"Then how about finding those composers and asking them to write a song for Xixi?"

Liu Liyun suddenly thought of something and her expression brightened. "Oh, right? Wasn't the song 'Human World' that Xixi sang last time tailor-made for her by the composer of 'Later'? This master admires Xixi so much. If you take the initiative to invite him to sing, he should give you face, right?"

"Auntie, you know a lot about the music industry!" Zhou Hui laughed.

"Hey, what do I know? I only paid a little more attention to it because of Xixi!"

Liu Liyun waved her hand.

Zhou Hui understood and said seriously, "I have thought about asking Mr. Ma Yao to write a song for me. But this teacher is very mysterious and few people have seen him. Currently, there is only one producer in the circle who can contact him. I also tried my luck, but he directly rejected me, saying that Mr. Ma does not write easily... Now that it has come to this, how can I say anything more?"

Liu Liyun nodded, and the whole table was filled with gloom.

At this time, Lin Xiao said: "Sister Hui, since this teacher Ma appreciates Xixi, I think you should be thick-skinned. Who knows, if you ask a few more times, he may think you are sincere and agree to write another song for Xixi?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Xixi's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Hui.

Liu Liyun also looked over curiously.

Zhou Hui choked up and stared at Lin Xiao fiercely, thinking, you are deliberately making trouble for me, right? !
"This teacher looks quite old. Can he write a sweet song?"

"That's not the case. Many insights can only be experienced by older people, right, mom?" Lin Xiao said.

Liu Liyun nodded: "That's true. The love songs nowadays are too superficial. The lyrics are all about love, but you can't feel any sincerity or love. The old songs are better. The words are subtle, but they can make people feel sweet!"

Lin Xiao got a satisfactory reply and spread his hands towards Zhou Hui.

What I mean is, you see, this is not what I said!
Zhou Hui was so furious that she wanted to tear the guy apart on the spot.

But he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I'll try, I'll try again..."
