Chapter 258 I Finally Have a Girlfriend

Suning feels that his adaptability is really good, which may be due to the destruction of the brain-dead system, which always allows him to adapt to the new environment the fastest.

Two or three months of student life made Suning feel quite novel. It was much more interesting than the university life in "The World of Qiao's Children". After all, in order to support his four younger brothers and sisters at that time, Suning kept pushing himself every day, which made him feel very tired and lonely.

Suning, who was leisurely enjoying campus life, saw an unexpected guest, "Suning, long time no see!"

"Haha, Mr. Liu is here!
Is there something else going on?"

"Haha, I really don't come to the temple for no reason!

This time I came here specifically to ask for your help!"

"Ask for help? Or ask me?"

Suning felt a little surprised. After all, the Mr. Liu in front of him was the boss of Warner Records, while he was just an ordinary student.

"Suning, it is now the end of 02.

However, Warner Music's performance in Greater China has declined sharply this year.

As the boss, I will definitely be held accountable by my superiors!

So, I would like to ask you for a few songs to impact the market at the end of the year."

"Huh? Mr. Liu, please forgive me for being blunt!

Warner Records is a huge company, what kind of songs can’t you find?

What kind of singer can’t be found?

Even your own music library is unimaginable to ordinary people!
Why go so far away?"

"Suning, you are right!

Our Warner Records is indeed a big company!
But it is precisely because of the size of the family and the size of the business that it is difficult to innovate.

And your song "Mouse Loves Rice" has become a national hit, so we can only put our hopes on you!"

"Haha, you guys are hoping to rely on me for a surprise victory!

But do you have that much confidence in me?

After all, I am just an ordinary student at Beijing Film Academy."

"Suning, stop being so modest!

With your singing skills, even singers under our Warner Music Group would find it difficult to reach your level!"

"Haha, this is the first time I've been complimented like this!

It's you, this beautiful career elite, who makes me feel like I'm floating in the air!"

"Huh?" Mr. Liu, who was in his early forties, felt like he was being teased when he heard Suning's joke, and he felt a little embarrassed unconsciously.

"Boss Liu, I'll be honest with you!

I did write two songs recently that I can also give to you guys for Warner Records to release!

But you have to agree to two conditions!"

"Huh? How's the singing quality?
Can it reach the level of "Mouse Loves Rice"? "Mr. Liu was just trying his luck, but he didn't expect to get a surprise.

"Huh? Mr. Liu, in your eyes, am I only as good as "Mouse Loves Rice"? "

"Haha, of course not!"

"Mr. Liu, I can guarantee that the quality of these two songs is no less than 'Mouse Loves Rice'!
But you have to help me get the Chinese adaptation rights for Takuya Ohashi's "Thank You"!

"Haha, that's no problem!
Is your new song based on Ohashi Takuya's "Thank You"? " Mr. Liu immediately had a guess.

“Haha, there are some references!

However, Mr. Liu, I still want to remind you.

Ohashi Takuya is very difficult to deal with, so don't let your carelessness lead to failure!

"Huh? Don't worry!
We at Warner Music have collaborated with Takuya Ohashi before, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

After being reminded by Suning, General Manager Liu remembered Ohashi Takuya's strictness and difficulty, and she felt a little guilty unconsciously, but facing Suning in front of her, she had to force herself to make a promise.

"Haha, that's good!" Seeing Mr. Liu's stubbornness, Suning just smiled indifferently.

"The second requirement is that the song's share must be 35%!"

“That’s fine!

Could you please let me check the quality of the two songs first?"

"What? Mr. Liu, you don't believe me?"

"Huh? How could that be!
If I didn't trust you, why would I come here to ask you for a song? "

"Well! Let's do this!

Once you get the copyright to Ohashi Takuya's "Thank You," I'll give you the demo of the song!"

"Huh? Okay!" Looking at Suning who was so cautious, Mr. Liu also felt a little helpless.

After Mr. Liu left the Beijing Film Academy, Suning smiled silently, because Warner was destined to return empty-handed, because Ohashi Takuya was too strict. Any adapted lyrics had to be approved by him, and the specific decisions were all in his hands. Doesn't that mean he was unwilling to authorize?

As expected by Suning, on the third day after he had reached an agreement with the North E-commerce Company, Mr. Liu came running over angrily, and said that seeing is believing for how difficult Ohashi Takuya was.

The reason why Suning asked Mr. Liu to go through so much trouble was that it did not want to be too much controlled by capital. At least it wanted to let Warner Records know that they were not omnipotent and would not treat them recklessly in the future.

"Haha, Mr. Liu!
One of my two conditions was not fulfilled. How are you, Warner Records, going to make it up to me?"

"Huh? Suning, don't worry!
Warner will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

"Yeah! I believe that!

How about this!
I will give you two demos of the songs first, and you can think about how to run the release."

Suning achieved his goal and simply handed the lyrics and music he wrote along with the song demo to Mr. Liu, and then handed over the most troublesome distribution task to Warner Records.

Mr. Liu happily took the lyrics, music and demo, and couldn't help but look at them carefully. As the head of a music company, his musical ability is absolutely outstanding, and he soon realized that these two songs were both hits.

"Suning, have you ever thought about becoming a singer for our Warner Records?

The conditions and treatment will definitely satisfy you!"

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your appreciation of me!

It's just that I'm a lazy person, and if I feel like it, maybe one or two songs will come out of my hands.

But I can’t make a living from this for the rest of my life!”

"Huh? What a pity!
With your talent and singing ability, it would be a shame if you didn't pursue a career in music!"

"Haha, isn't the purpose of life to be happy?
Why make yourself so tired! "

Mr. Liu and Suning are from two different worlds, with completely different ways of thinking. Seeing Suning being so selfless, Mr. Liu really couldn't agree with him and could only shake his head helplessly.

Everyone at Warner Records knew that Ms. Liu was out looking for a hit song, and they understood the enormous pressure she was under, but they did not agree with her last-minute cramming.

According to general rules and regulations, the lyrics, music and demos should be screened through layers of screening before being sent to these Warner Music masters for evaluation.

But for some reason, Mr. Liu skipped many procedures and called them directly into the recording studio. This rule-breaking method made the music masters very unhappy. They thought it was a contempt for them.

As for Suning’s hit song "Mouse Loves Rice", people are even more disdainful. No matter how popular it is in the streets and alleys, it still cannot change the fact that "Mouse Loves Rice" is just a vulgar pop song!
When the three Warner Music musicians arrived at the recording studio, they saw that almost all the senior executives of Warner Music were there. They looked at each other in surprise, but when they saw Suning, who looked like a decent person in the recording studio, they didn't know why they felt unhappy.

"Haha, all the leaders are here!"

"Teachers, please take a seat! It will begin soon!" Mr. Liu looked at the three musicians who were late and was still a little overwhelmed by the temper of the musicians.

After the three musicians sat down, the sound engineer and Su Ning in the recording studio were ready, and then Su Ning began recording his own song.

【I didn’t understand your hardship until I grew up】

[Every time I leave, I always pretend to be relaxed]

[Smile and say go back and turn around with tears in your eyes]

[I wish I could hold your warm hand like before]

[But you are not by my side, I ask the breeze to bring you good health]

[Time, please slow down and don’t let you grow old anymore]

[I would give up everything I have in exchange for your long-lasting stay]

【Dad, who has always been strong, what can I do for you】

[Just accept the trivial concern]

When the prelude of "Father" began, the Warner executives and musicians outside the recording studio were all stunned, and soon immersed in the melody of the beautiful music. When the five-minute song was recorded, everyone woke up and found that they were crying.

"Mr. Liu, you are awesome!

What an outstanding musical genius!

Whether it's singing skills or the artistic conception of the lyrics and music, they are all rare masterpieces!"

"Yes! After listening to this song, I suddenly thought of my deceased father. It is truly a heavenly sound that goes straight to my heart."

Soon Mr. Liu was surrounded by compliments. Mr. Liu, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, just smiled indifferently, and then asked everyone to look at Suning in the recording studio again.

At this time, everyone realized that Suning was still in the recording studio. They soon learned that there was a second song to be recorded. After some preparation, the recording of the second song began.

[That is the person I miss day and night and love deeply]

How should I express it?

Will she accept me?

Maybe I will never say that to her.

【I am destined to wander around the world】

How can I be concerned?

【Dreams are always out of reach】

Should I give up?

[Another season of flowers blooming and falling]

Spring, where are you?

Youth is like a rushing river

【I’ll never come back and say goodbye】

"Huh? This seems to be an adaptation of 'Thank You' by Takuya Ohashi of Japan!"

"Yes! It's the Chinese song 'Old Boy' adapted from 'Thank You'!"

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Liu contacted the Japanese company last time just to obtain the copyright for the song 'Thank You'?"

"Yes! Alas! It's a pity that Ohashi Takuya is unwilling to grant authorization and deliberately set up many obstacles!"

"Such a touching song that goes straight to the hearts of ordinary middle-aged people, it's such a shame that it can't be released without authorization!"

“So, I’m going to Japan myself!
We must convince Ohashi Takuya to obtain the Chinese copyright for "Thank You"! "At this time, Mr. Liu explained in a firm tone.

"Well! Mr. Liu, you can go to Japan without any worries!

Don't worry, I'm at home!" A vice president assured Mr. Liu with a smile.

"Okay! I'll try my best to come back!
Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work these past few days!"

"Mr. Liu, should these two songs be released now, or do we have to wait until you return from Japan?"

"These two songs were made to boost the company's sluggish performance in 02!
So I decided to release it now!"

"Huh? But what about the copyright issue?
How about temporarily suppressing "Old Boy" for a while and releasing "Father" first?

"No need! At worst, I can just make it clear in advance that 'Old Boy' is adapted from 'Thank You'!"
Let's make it a done deal for Ohashi Takuya!"

"Huh? Okay!" Seeing that President Liu was so determined, Warner's leaders nodded in agreement.

Suning did not participate in the discussion about Warner Records. After all, he is still a free man and does not need to worry about the operation of Warner Records.

Suning left Warner Records and drove directly to his residence because it was the weekend and he didn't need to go to school.

At a traffic light intersection, while waiting for the red light, Suning looked at the bustling crowd outside the window and felt that there was a vibrant scene everywhere.

This kind of scene is rarely seen in later generations. After all, under the dual pressure of online shopping and the epidemic, the physical industry has gradually declined, and there are only a few hurried pedestrians in the streets and alleys.

Hearing that almost all the shops on both sides of the street were playing his song "The Mouse Loves Rice", Suning just smiled silently. If he shouted loudly to the crowd outside, "I am the singer of "The Mouse Loves Rice", probably no one would believe it."

This is what we often hear: the song is popular but the singer is not. Other singers may think this is embarrassing, but for Suning, it is what he wants. After all, he doesn't like to expose himself under neon lights.

Soon the red light at the intersection turned green. Suning started the car and drove along with the traffic in front. When passing a bus stop, he saw a familiar figure.

The other party may have also seen her car and was hiding there. Suning parked his car next to her and looked through the window in a funny way.

"Jiang Yan, get in the car!"

When Jiang Yan heard Suning's invitation, her face turned red like a ripe apple. Wearing a bulky down jacket, she opened Suning's car and sat in the passenger seat.

"Hehe, where are you going?"

"Forward!"

“Haha, the previous part covers a lot of areas!

There could be a department store in front!
It can also be the suburbs of Beijing!

Of course it can also be my home," Suning teased Jiang Yan meaningfully.

Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't respond at all, but just lowered her head with a blushing face, Suning understood everything and drove directly back to Beiyuan Home.

After parking the car in the garage, Suning took Jiang Yan's hand domineeringly, and then took the elevator to his home.

But as soon as they entered the elevator, Su Ning couldn't help but hug Jiang Yan in his arms. It was not until the elevator reached the twelfth floor that Su Ning let go of the stiff Jiang Yan, opened the door of his home and walked in.

As soon as the two people entered the house and closed the door, the room was on fire.
After a long time, it was already late at night outside. Jiang Yan collapsed on Su Ning's body. At this time, Su Ning suddenly said, "Jiang Yan, how about you be my girlfriend?"

"what?"

"you are not willing?"

"No! It's just..."

Jiang Yan didn't say it out loud, but she believed Su Ning understood her concerns. After all, their union was a mistake from the beginning.

"Jiang Yan, I know what you are worried about!
I am not someone who cannot tolerate your past, I only want your future!"

"Suning, are you serious?"

“Haha, I really need a girlfriend!

You should know this best!"

"Ah? You are so bad!" Jiang Yan thought of Su Ning's strong "physique" and of course understood what Su Ning meant.
