Life countdown begins, ice queen bursts into security room

Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the French windows, illuminating the dining table.

Xu Qingya, wearing a white bathrobe, with her hair loose and draped over her shoulders, sat across from the dining table eating toast.

A glass of milk and a plate of fried eggs were placed in front of Jiang Fan.

He got up at 7:30 to do it, while Xu Qingya didn't get out of bed until after 8:00, and her walking posture was still a little unnatural.

"What are the specific arrangements for your concert?" Jiang Fan asked while eating.

Xu Qingya looked up at him while biting into her toast.

"First stop Shanghai, next Saturday. Then Kyoto, Chengdu, Shenzhen... a total of twelve shows."

Which venue is Shanghai in?

"Right here at the Shanghai Stadium."

Jiang Fan nodded.

The Shanghai Stadium has more than 70,000 seats.

Only this venue can support Hsu Ching-Ya's level of fame when she holds a concert.

"Are the tickets sold out?"

Xu Qingya put down the toast and extended three slender fingers.

"Three seconds."

"Three seconds?"

"The tickets disappeared in one second inside, but in three seconds outside. Sister Lan cursed the scalpers all day long."

As she said this, she raised her chin slightly, with a hint of arrogance.

Jiang Fan gave her a thumbs up.

He calculated the time.

Shen Nian's recording for the second episode of "The Voice of Heaven" is next Thursday. She will finish work on Friday and fly back, and then catch Xu Qingya's concert on Saturday.

"Save me two tickets."

Xu Qingya was a beat slow in chewing her toast.

"Two tickets? Who are you taking with you?"

"Shen Nian."

Xu Qingya did not respond.

She swallowed the last sip of milk in her glass, and slammed the glass back onto the table a little harder than before.

Jiang Fan added, "Letting her experience the atmosphere of a 10,000-person stadium will benefit her in her later matches."

Xu Qingya walked to Jiang Fan's side, leaned against the edge of the table, and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

The neckline of the bathrobe slipped down a bit, revealing a patch of white, smooth skin.

Did I say I wouldn't give it to you?

Jiang Fanqian chuckled but didn't dare to reply.

Xu Qingya looked down at him and paused for two seconds.

"Could you give me that song before the concert?"

"It should be around Monday."

"The playlist already has 22 songs. If I want to add a new song as an encore, I need to rehearse with the band in advance."

"You can start rehearsing the day you receive the demo. I'll produce two versions of the arrangement: a studio version and a live version. The live version leaves room for improvisation, so you can go over it with the band once and you're ready to go."

Xu Qingya looked at him and didn't ask any more questions.

She went to the dressing room to change her clothes. She had a gig today, and the makeup artist was supposed to arrive at nine o'clock.

"I'm leaving now. Lock the door yourself."

"Um."

The door closed, and the room became quiet.

-

After cleaning up the kitchen, Jiang Fan went to the bedroom to clean up yesterday's mess.

First, put the two high heels away and place them next to the shoe cabinet.

This can be used again next time.

The remnants of the purple bodycon skirt and black stockings were thrown directly into the trash can.

He hesitated for a moment, then folded the security guard uniform and put it back in the corner of the cloakroom.

Another tear appeared at the neckline; if this happens again, the clothes will be completely ruined.

Go out, lock the door.

-

On the way back to the company in a taxi, Jiang Fan leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes for a while.

That cup of medicinal wine last night definitely had something to it.

Sister Lan's gift is undeniably practical.

It was almost 10 o'clock when I arrived at the studio.

Zhou Yutong saw him come in from her workstation and peeked out from behind her computer.

Good morning, Brother Fan.

Jiang Fan hummed in agreement.

Li Cheng came out of his office when he heard the noise, holding his cell phone.

Have you seen Su Yuyan's new song?

"not yet."

"There are two songs in total, 'Poisonous Perfume' and 'The Wind Blows,' which were released simultaneously at midnight yesterday."

Jiang Fan sat down in his office and turned on his computer.

On the Penguin Music homepage banner, a dark red album cover takes up the entire screen.

A close-up of Su Yuyan's profile shows an upward-sweeping eyeliner at the corner of her eye, bright red lips, and her fingertips holding a pink perfume bottle.

"Poisonous Perfume".

Lyrics and music by Jiang Fan.

Singer: Su Yuyan.

Within eight hours of its release, the comment section had already garnered over 50,000 comments.

Jiang Fan scrolled through several of the top comments.

"This style is amazing, it suits Sister Yan's style perfectly."

"The intro gave me goosebumps, and the chorus is so catchy."

"Who is 'her perfume scent' in the lyrics referring to? It sounds like a scene of infidelity..."

"Another Jiang Fan song??"

"Have you noticed that the songs he writes for each person are completely different in style, and each one is precisely timed to fit the singer's most comfortable vocal range? Just who is this guy?"

The last comment was followed by a string of replies.

"The author of 'The Wind Blows' is not Jiang Fan, but 'Fan Yu'."

Who is Fan Yu?

"Fan Yu = Jiang Fan + Su Yuyan?? I've sensed something extraordinary."

"Don't make wild guesses upstairs, it's just a pen name."

"Finally, there's a composer who can rival Jiang Fan. By the way, who exactly is Fan Yu?"

Jiang Fan left the comments section and glanced at the real-time data.

"Poisonous Perfume" has been viewed 1670 million times.

"The Wind Blows" was slightly less impressive, but it still garnered 1430 million views.

The two songs, released simultaneously, generated a huge buzz on social media.

Three related topics trended on the hot search list: "Su Yuyan's new song", "Lyrics and music by Fan Yu", and "Poisonous perfume that keeps you on a loop".

Jiang Fan then switched to the trending songs chart.

He scrolled down the list and stared at it for a few seconds.

First place: "Blue and White Porcelain" - Jiang Fan.

Second place: "Red Bean" - Xu Qingya.

Third place: "Sorrow" - Jiang Fan.

Fourth place: "Nocturne" - Jiang Fan.

Fifth place: "The Woman Who Is Easily Hurt" - Xu Qingya.

...........

Of the top ten, eight are related to him.

Either he sang it, or he wrote it.

"Red Bean" ultimately couldn't withstand the impact of "Blue and White Porcelain," slipping from its three-week reign at the top of the charts to second place.

Jiang Fan stared at the second-place position, then reached out and closed the page.

I'll probably get another beating from Queen Xu later.

Li Cheng walked over, lowering his voice.

"That signature of Su Yuyan, 'Fan Yu'—was that something you two planned?"

"Um."

"Many people are guessing online."

Jiang Fan leaned back in his chair.

"It's alright, the two characters 'Fan Yu' are too common, they can be interpreted in any direction."

The ripple effects of Su Yuyan's two songs being released are still unfolding.

At this rate, it'll be breaking into the top ten of the hottest songs chart in the next few days.

Jiang Fan opened the music production software.

Today's main task is to finish the arrangement of "Invisible Wings" for Shen Nian.

-

Meanwhile, at the headquarters building of Times Media.

Su Yuyan's office.

She was wearing a dark green suit skirt today, her hair was neatly styled, and she was having a meeting with the publicity department.

The opening day sales figures for "Poisonous Perfume" and "The Wind Blows" far exceeded expectations. After the marketing director reported the numbers, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was very excited.

"President Su, at this rate of growth, there's no doubt that 'Poisonous Perfume' will break 100 million in three days."

"With 'The Wind Blows' following closely behind, we can expect both films to surpass 100 million in box office within a week."

Su Yuyan tapped the table: "Don't get carried away. Get the short video side moving. Start up with the background music clips this afternoon, focusing on beauty and relationship-related accounts."

"clear."

Su Yuyan nodded and was about to speak when her assistant knocked and came in.

"President Su, Director Lu Chuan has arrived. He said he was passing by and wanted to hear about the progress of the movie's theme song."

Su Yuyan was stunned for a moment.

The theme song of the movie is "Fleet of Time".

She had kept the USB drive that Jiang Fan had given her in her bag untouched.

I've been busy recording and releasing my two new songs lately, so the theme song project has been put on hold for now.

"Please ask him to come to the meeting room, I'll be right there."

After a while, Su Yuyan took the USB drive out of her bag and held it in her hand.

Jiang Fan once said that he would decide who sang.

She didn't press for details about who she ultimately chose; she always felt it would definitely be Shen Nian.

I'll listen to it with Lu Chuan today.
