Chapter 444 Li Ji explains the lyrics to Qian Duoduo
Qian Duoduo smiled slightly: "That's a good idea. This project is excellent in terms of scale, prospects, novelty, and even feasibility. If we remove the negative factor of Young Master Mang, it is indeed a rare and excellent project."

Young Master Mang's eyes widened: "Are you going to kick me out like this? Mr. Qian Duoduo's money is mine!"

“I didn’t say I would use your money to invest; I have my own money.”

Li Jixin's lips curled up in delight: "So, you agree?"

"not at all."

"Why? Didn't you say this project was great?"

"The project is indeed good, but as I said before, the most important thing in investing is investing in people. I don't know you."

After saying that, Qian Duoduo nodded his head again to the rhythm of that single drumbeat.

"May I introduce myself?"

Young Master Mang added, "I can also tell you about his experiences. He's quite legendary."

"No need, that's not what I meant. Understanding isn't something that can be conveyed through a simple self-introduction; it's an understanding that comes from within. A short time isn't enough. But I'm sorry I don't have time to get to know a young talent like you. There are many other young people waiting to be invested in. If one day you appear before me in a way that interests me, we can talk about cooperation then."

Qian Duoduo spoke gently, but every word she uttered conveyed a sense of refusal.

He continued to nod along with the rhythm, oblivious to his own thoughts.

Li Ji didn't back down: "Mr. Qian Duoduo really likes this kind of hip-hop music?"

“Yes, I really like it—” Qian Duoduo frowned deeply. “What did you say? What do you call this form of music?”

Li Ji smiled and said, "This is called hip-hop music. 'Hip' means buttocks and 'hop' means to bounce. So together, it refers to this kind of music that makes your buttocks bounce."

Qian Duoduo stood up in surprise, and countless squid tentacles supported the huge zongzi head as it walked towards Li Ji.

"How did you come to know about this kind of music?"

Li Ji was secretly pleased. This was exactly the kind of reaction he needed. He would use the other person's interest in the song to gradually open up common topics and slowly gain their trust.

"This is a form of music that originated from Earth. I studied Earth science, so I know a little about it."

Shark Baby looked completely bewildered: "How come I didn't know?"

"You're a terrible student."

"That's true, hehe."

Qian Duoduo frowned: "Are you sure this is Earth's music? After all, there are many forms of primitive music; it might just be an approximation, or perhaps—"

Or perhaps Li Ji made it up.

Li Ji knew very well that there must be some people with ulterior motives who, catering to his tastes, fabricated the origin of this song.

After all, a name like hiphop sounds like it was just made up on the spot.

"Hip-hop music originated in the Bronx, New York in the 20s, a notorious ghetto where local Black people often held music parties for entertainment. They used turntables to play music, and gradually, from simply playing music, they evolved into various DJing techniques, enriching the variety of music."

"As the work of DJs who play music becomes more and more complicated, they have no time to take care of the party hosting work, which has led to the emergence of MCs who are specifically responsible for hosting parties."

"They speak to music to create an atmosphere, because Black people are naturally more rhythmic when they speak. This way of speaking with accompaniment has gradually evolved into rap music. Moreover, the rhymes and rhythm techniques have become more and more complex."

This was no problem for him. In order to show off, he had learned about the history of various music developments when he was in school, and he could talk about them quite well.

Qian Duoduo was stunned.

"It sounds plausible, although there are many words I don't understand. Things like New York, Black people, DJs, etc. Is there any other information?"

Lee Ki smiled slightly: "The drumbeats used in this song can be clearly heard alternating between boom, bap, boom, bap. These are the sounds of two different drums on Earth, and this type of drumbeat music is also known as boombap."

Li Ji never expected that such strange knowledge would come in handy in such a strange place.

The other three listened intently to the drumbeats, nodding in unison as they followed the rhythm. "That's really it."

Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up; the Second Young Master Mang had never seen him so excited.

"I have another question that has troubled me for many years. What is the central idea of ​​this song?"

Faced with the other party's intense gaze, Li Ji, who had just been speaking eloquently, suddenly became speechless.

Qian Duoduo noticed his predicament: "I'm sorry, I was a bit offensive. The song's meaning is still too complex and profound. Why don't you translate the lyrics of this duet for me? You're a professional in this area, and I hope you can understand it word for word."

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

Li Ji's pointed beak rose and then fell.

He hesitated.

"It's really hard to say that."

“I understand that it’s indeed difficult for lovers to express their deepest feelings to each other. Why don’t you project it for me?”

"That's not a good thing either."

“Indeed, it’s still a bit embarrassing. Here’s what we’ll do: I have a photographic memory. You can hide this translation in the business plan you just wrote, and I can find it myself.”

"That's possible, but I hope you won't get angry when you see the translation, no matter what it is."

Qian Duoduo laughed: "It's just a lyric, why would I be angry? Please do as I say. Thank you."

Helpless, Li Ji followed instructions and translated "Fuck you" into interstellar language and inserted it into the business plan.

He originally wanted to write the translation directly on the cover, but he felt it was somewhat offensive. After much thought, he ended up hiding the translation in the "Jersey Merchandise Introduction".

Qian Duoduo opened the new business plan with a smile, but as she looked at it, her smile froze.

He seemed unconvinced and flipped through the entire proposal three more times.

"Is that really what you mean?"

Lee Ki silently nodded his pointed lips.

Qian Duoduo still refused to believe it: "It's on page 42, in the third line of the jersey and merchandise section?"

Lee Ki silently nodded his pointed lips.

"This is hilarious! Hahaha, the answer we've been guessing for so many years is actually this!" Qian Duoduo let out a maniacal laugh.

Li Ji almost thought he had gone mad: "Don't be angry."

“I’m not angry. I really like it, and I’d love to learn more about this music now. It’s so interesting.”

"You like this?"

"Purely expressing one's emotions is the natural release of primitive people without the constraints of modern etiquette. I ask you, how long has it been since we, as modern people who are so bound by constraints, have spoken these words out loud?"

Shark Baby: "I'll take a day."

Young Master Mang: "I have ten minutes."

Li Ji laughed and said, "I have never used such vulgar language before."

Shark Baby shouted, "Li Ji, you're talking nonsense! You just insulted the class monitor half an hour ago."
