Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk

In the living room, the couple looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a moment.

Xu Ying was the first to come to her senses. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She looked at her husband suspiciously: "Wang Yuejin, did you teach Wang Zhe to say this?"

Wang Yuejin quickly waved his hands, looking completely innocent: "Wife, it wasn't me, if it were me..."

"stop!"

Xu Ying interrupted him, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered the message that Wang Zhe's homeroom teacher had sent her a few days ago, and instantly understood.

She was so angry she laughed, slamming her chopsticks on the table: "That's Wang Zhe! How dare he mess with me like that!"

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards Wang Zhe's bedroom.

Wang Yuejin called out from behind, "Wife, I think our son is right. How could I have fooled you?"

Xu Ying didn't even turn her head: "Just a shovel."

Wang Yuejin tentatively asked again, "So... are we still getting a divorce?"

Xu Ying paused, turned her head, and said, "Go ahead and get a divorce, you do it yourself!"

With a "bang," Wang Zhe's door was pushed open.

At this moment, Wang Zhe was wearing headphones, locked in a fierce battle with his best friend Li Ran in League of Legends.

Xu Ying walked straight behind him and grabbed his ear.

"Wang Zhe! You've got some nerve, daring to mess with me!"

Through the other earpiece, Li Ran clearly heard the entire process of Wang Zhe's screams and pleas for mercy.

"Mom! Mom! It hurts... I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhe's game avatar turned gray.

Li Ran stared at the screen, swallowed hard, and secretly glanced towards the door of his room.

……

In the living room, Wang Zhe argued for more than half an hour before finally calming down his mother's anger.

He was completely numb, slumped on the sofa, questioning the meaning of life.

This script isn't right! This kind of scene didn't happen in my previous life!

Looking at his son's two red and swollen ears, Wang Yuejin felt a pang of pity. He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "So... you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Wang Zhe nodded weakly.

"Let's not talk about that now," he said, regaining his composure, and began to get down to business.

"Could you help me contact a recording studio first? I want to record the song. Oh, and there are some songs I wrote that I need you to register for copyright..."

"Stop." Xu Ying raised her hand to interrupt him.

She looked at Wang Zhe and realized she had been a bit too harsh, so her tone softened a bit: "If you want to enter the entertainment industry, it's not impossible. I happen to work at a TV station, and your father is about to be transferred to their company's film and television department."

"But Wang Zhe, you must finish your studies first. Look at your score on the last exam!"

Upon hearing that there was hope, Wang Zhe immediately grinned and approached her, saying, "Thank you, Mom. You're the best."

He pretended to be innocent, but he knew perfectly well what was going on in his mind—although he had been reborn and had a system by his side, he couldn't go far in the entertainment industry without a strong background, and he couldn't do without his parents' help.

Fortunately, my parents are indeed tough enough.

Xu Ying, the mother, is now the head of the purchasing team for modern urban dramas at Hunan TV.

In Wang Zhe's memory, it wouldn't be long before she would be promoted to film purchasing director.

Wang Yuejin, the father, is currently a manager at Tencent Music and will soon be transferred to the film and television department, which later became Tencent Video.

Later on, they even took over New Classics Media...

This is Wang Zhe's biggest source of confidence in venturing into the entertainment industry.

In his previous life, he wasted seven years abroad. By the time he returned to China, the golden age of "Neiyu" had passed, and he had no intention of competing for anything anymore. So he simply continued to cultivate his career on the musical stage.

In this life, everything is different.

After listening to these words, Wang Yuejin pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go to the piano room first. I want to hear how you sing."

……

Late at night, in the couple's bedroom.

Wang Yuejin leaned against the headboard and looked at his wife: "Yinger, since our son himself wants to enter the entertainment industry, we can pave the way for him. As for going abroad... let's just forget about it."

Xu Ying applied skincare products in front of the vanity mirror, her tone calm: "I know. Besides, you heard him sing 'The Wind Rises' just now, and the lyrics and melody reminded me of my school days."

She paused, her hands slowing their movements: "The reason we wanted him to go abroad was simply because he loves musicals, plus we..."

"Okay, that's enough."

Xu Ying put down the bottle, turned around, and her expression became more serious. "Now you have to work hard and try to climb up the ranks. That way, our son won't be bullied in this industry."

Wang Yuejin sensed the weight in his wife's words, and his heart warmed. He nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll try my best now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Ying slapped him on the shoulder.

"Wang Yuejin! I told you to hurry up and work harder, are you trying to get me punished?!"

Wang Yuejin was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and chuckled, "Okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up."

……

On the first day of the May Day holiday, Wang Zhe stayed at home and used his computer to create simple demos for the three songs he wanted to record.

The three songs are "The Wind Rises," which he had already sung at school, and "Suspicion" and "The Remaining Summer," which he felt were released at the right time.

"Suspicion" is an emo hit on Douyin (TikTok) in later years. Not everyone may remember the song title, but the melody and lyrics have been seen by almost every young person tossing and turning at night.

"The Remaining Summer" is a typical Jay Chou campus love song - composed by Jay Chou, lyrics by Huang Junlang, and previously sung by TF.

Both of these songs were originally released in 2015, and Wang Zhe's timing in bringing them out now is perfect.

The couple had different reactions after listening to the three demos.

Wang Yuejin was both surprised and delighted, and a thought popped into his mind—could his son really be a musical genius, one in a million?

"The Wind Rises" had already deeply impressed him, and "The Remaining Summer" was no less impressive.

Although he comes from a management background, he still has basic musical appreciation skills. After listening, he couldn't help but comment: "This song, 'The Remaining Summer,' is very good. It has the feel of Jay Chou's style."

Xu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on Wang Zhe, her expression meaningful.

Both "The Wind Rises" and "The Remaining Summer" are youth campus stories, which is fine.

But what's the deal with this song, "Suspicion"?

It's not that it sounds bad, it's just that it's so strange.

The lyrics go something like, "How long will it take for you to fall in love with me? I've already fallen in love with you, I can't move anymore..."

She looked up at Wang Zhe and posed the probing question: "Wang Zhe, are you secretly dating someone?"

Wang Zhe looked completely bewildered by the question.

This can't be! Zhang Jingyi and I haven't even started dating yet! How did Mom find out?

"Huh? Me? How could that be? I'm so young..."

Looking at his suspicious expression and his evasive explanation, Xu Ying sneered inwardly, "You little rascal, don't let me catch you."

She didn't say anything, turned her head, and called out to her husband, "Wang Yuejin!"

Wang Yuejin immediately understood: "Contact the recording studio right away. Release it on Tencent Music. Three songs, just enough for a mini album."

In the past two days, the couple has started helping Wang Zhe plan his future.

The primary task now is of course to finish high school and focus on academics, but that doesn't prevent me from releasing songs and building up my reputation.

At the same time, Xu Ying was also looking for suitable film and television resources so that Wang Zhe could make his name known to her.

The couple also consulted Wang Zhe's opinion, and he naturally had no objections—he never intended to pursue only the singing career; he also wanted to pursue the acting career.

When the May Day holiday ended, Wang Zhe did not return to school.

Although there were only three songs, it was his first time recording an album, and he didn't want to rush it, so he asked the school for three more days off.
