Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

After finishing our business, we chatted for a while, and when I checked the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Liu Huan picked up the remaining wine in his glass and said with a smile, "That's it for tonight, let's wrap this up."

The four of them then raised their glasses together and drank the rest of the wine.

Liu Huan put down his wine glass and patted Qin Sheng on the shoulder.

"Come to my recording studio at 10 a.m. tomorrow, in Baihua Hutong. We're going to start recording 'Heroes' Song'."

Qin Sheng nodded in agreement.

Mao Amin also put down her wine glass and replied with a smile.

"I'll go tomorrow too. I want to have a good chat with Asheng about some details of 'Longing'."

After finishing her drink in one gulp, Na Ying looked at Liu Huan, Mao Amin, and Qin Sheng laughing and joking, and pouted in dissatisfaction.

Whose side are you two on?

Now it's like I'm an outsider.

After a two-second pause, Na Ying said, "I'll go tomorrow too."

All three of them turned their gazes to her.

Na Ying blushed slightly, then slammed her hand on the table.

"What are you looking at me for? Can't I go have fun? It's none of your business!"

Liu Huanxian couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Mao Amin also laughed out loud.

He pointed at Na Ying and said irritably, "Go if you want, who can stop you?"

The three bigwigs got up and left.

Qin Sheng explained that the bar's resident singer was his friend, and he was going over to catch up.

After watching the three walk out of the bar, Qin Sheng turned around and walked towards the stage.

On stage, Yuan Quan is singing Wang Fei's "Easily Hurt Woman".

Her voice is clear and clean, and you can tell that she has a solid foundation in singing.

Qin Sheng stood at the side of the stage.

Yuan Quan glanced at him, but didn't say anything, and continued to calmly sing her song.

Zeng Li, who had been squatting in the corner, happily darted out.

Although this girl was the oldest of the three and was very tall, she had a very simple and innocent personality.

"Hey, all done chatting? How was it? Did Ms. Mao Amin like your song?"

Qin Sheng smiled.

"It's alright, she said she wants it."

"You want it?!"

Zeng Li's eyes widened at first, then she looked at Qin Sheng with a joyful expression.

"So you're about to become famous?"

Seeing Zeng Li gesticulating wildly, looking quite proud of himself, Qin Sheng found it rather amusing.

Even though it was her own business, she was more excited than the person directly involved.

"By the way, how much did it sell for?" Zeng Li asked again.

Asking about someone's income is actually a somewhat sensitive topic.

Zeng Li was still too naive; she blurted out the question as soon as she opened her mouth.

However, Qin Sheng felt there was nothing he couldn't say.

"Not much, only 5000."

"Huh? That's so little? I thought it would fetch at least seventy or eighty thousand if I sold it to Mao Amin!"

Zeng Li was somewhat surprised and replied blankly.

"Pshaw, how is that possible? Seventy or eighty thousand is the price for the big shots. How could a complete newbie like me possibly get that?"

Qin Sheng waved his hand and smiled.

"That's true, but it's already very impressive. That's Mao Amin, after all!"

Zeng Li didn't say anything more, but casually praised Qin Sheng.

Let's continue chatting.

Qin Sheng casually recounted some interesting stories from his time on the Water Margin set.

Especially some of Lin Chong's witty remarks.

This made Zeng Li laugh out loud.

Of course, he would never talk about his romantic escapades.

Seeing Zeng Li laughing so hard next to Qin Sheng that she was doubled over, Yuan Quan on the stage kept looking down at the audience.

Even when singing, I'm not quite focused anymore.

Seeing Zeng Li looking as happy as a big white rabbit, Qin Sheng also smiled.

I really didn't expect to run into Zeng Li and Yuan Quan here.

After getting to know her, Qin Sheng suddenly discovered that Zeng Li in her youth was such a simple and lovely girl.

To be honest, Qin Sheng felt that he was falling for her.

The leading lady in the Qingyi dress had a bright and dignified appearance.

She is over 1.7 meters tall, tall and pleasing to the eye.

She is also so innocent and adorable in personality.

No bad rumors have been heard of in later generations.

Moreover, even when this leading lady in blue was in her thirties or forties, she still didn't grow up to be unattractive.

She still possesses an absolutely stunningly beautiful face.

Most importantly, although Zeng Li had only just met him, she had already clearly shown her affection for him.

No wonder.

My resume is indeed a bit too impressive for my age group.

To be able to get into a major production like Water Margin, produced by CCTV.

He can chat and laugh with veteran singers like Liu Huan, Mao Amin, and Na Ying.

He can write songs, and he writes them very well.

He's also handsome.

Most importantly, they were classmates of the same age and in the same grade.

Although they are not from the same school.

But psychologically, they are still very close.

Students from the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy are, on the surface, competitors.

But in fact, they all have a strong sense of identity with each other.

Zeng Li is so cute and beautiful, and Qin Sheng is so blessed with good looks and qualities, he really wants to date her.

However, it is clear that, as things stand, if one wants to pursue Zeng Li, one must first get past Yuan Quan.

Although Zeng Li is a year older than Yuan Quan, Yuan Quan is clearly more mature and steady, and is the one who takes the initiative to take care of Zeng Li.

However, Qin Sheng felt that Yuan Quan shouldn't be too much of an obstacle.

If she pursues him earnestly, and Zeng Li is willing to be with her, can she really stop her?

Having made up his mind, Qin Sheng treated the two to a late-night snack after get off work at the bar to catch up with each other. So Qin Sheng and Zeng Li chatted while waiting for Yuan Quan to finish get off work.

And then they waited for two hours.

Qin Sheng really didn't expect that this kind of artsy performance bar would not close until 2 a.m.

It wasn't until Qin Sheng was exhausted and Zeng Li was so sleepy she almost fell asleep that Yuan Quan finally finished her resident singing job.

Stepping off the stage, Yuan Quan stared blankly at Qin Sheng.

She had just witnessed Qin Sheng teasing Zeng Li, and she was feeling rather unhappy.

Zeng Li, completely oblivious, pointed at Qin Sheng and said, "He's treating us to a late-night snack!"

Yuan Quan continued to look at Qin Sheng with a blank expression.

Qin Sheng flashed his signature shy smile again.

"I used to be a big fan of both of your plays."

Now that we've met by chance, I absolutely have to treat you to a meal.

Yuan Quan was somewhat reluctant to agree.

She could tell that the younger brother in front of her had feelings for her best friend, Zeng Li.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Quan agreed.

She had just witnessed Qin Sheng's talent and ability.

Now that Zeng Li and I have applied to the Central Academy of Drama, we need to start building connections in this industry.

Qin Sheng is undoubtedly one of the most valuable connections they can currently make.

"Let's go then, we can talk as we walk, it's getting late."

"yeah!"

Upon hearing Yuan Quan's agreement, Zeng Li let out a heartfelt cheer.

She was genuinely afraid that Yuan Quan would once again shield her from this boy who was getting close to her.

Zeng Li is simply naive, not stupid.

She could certainly sense that Qin Sheng was deliberately getting close to her.

She'd seen plenty of boys like that since she was a child.

She didn't like those guys before, and Yuan Quan blocked them for her, so she accepted it.

But she likes this boy.

At this point, she no longer wanted Yuan Quan to shield her.
