Chapter 11: I'm Serious About Singing (10)
"Hmm. Very nice to hear. Shen Chen added, "Very good." "It seems that this is the right way to describe it.
"But, it's time to rest tonight." Shen Chen took out the hand behind his back and held a bottle of milk, "I heard that if you drink this before going to bed, you will rest better." β
Xia Qingyu: ? This style of painting doesn't seem right, right, is General Shen so caring?
Uh-wait, I didn't react just now, he said the song was good...... He's been listening to it outside for a long time? Aren't all the rooms of such rich families piled up with money? Sound insulation is supposed to be good, right? She hadn't heard him come back at night in the past few nights. Could it be that the military has better hearing?
However, the hand naturally took the milk and obediently said thank you.
Shen Chen nodded, turned around and returned to his room.
System [Yo, I was sent warm in the middle of the night, was I moved? γ
Xia Qingyu closed the door and put the milk aside first, [Don't dare to move, the milk is ice.] γ
System [...... The man was hopeless. γ
On the other side, Shen Chen returned to his room, did it on the bed for a while, took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Ziling's phone.
The bell rang once, twice, three times.
"Hey-" Zhao Ziling's voice came from the other side of the earpiece, with a deep sleepiness, "Brother Shen? What's up? β
Shen Chen told Zhao Ziling about tonight's events, and said that Xia Qingyu, who received the milk, did not have the expected reaction.
"Brother Shen, I beg you to be a person, it's almost three o'clock in the morning! You called me up in the middle of the night just to talk about this? Zhao Ziling was a little irritable and straightened his sleeping hair.
"Not what you just said? You brought the milk in the refrigerator to her, and said that she would have a good rest after drinking it?? Poofhahahaha! Zhao Ziling said that he was confused,
"It's not Brother Shen, where did you come up with a method, coaxing girls? Are you really interested in Miss Xia? Wow, let me see if there is any red rain in the sky, oh, the weather outside the window is clear, and the moon and stars are scarce......"
"Hmm." Shen Chen only agreed to one word, and his eyes moved to the window. Thinking back to the lyrics just now, the bright moon can't shine in the direction of the road ahead, right?
There was a long silence on the earpiece, and then this time Zhao Ziling's voice was obviously much more serious, "Are you serious?" β
"Hmm." Couldn't be more serious.
"The matter of her live broadcast, according to Lu Qi'er's attributes, should be done soon. Are you going to help her? β
"It's just a Lu family." Shen Chen's tone was a little cold, "Knowing that she lives on my side, and dares to make a move on her, I see that their eyes are indeed white." β
"Oh, I said last time my grandfather said that Miss Xia should live with him directly, and you still don't agree to come. It turned out that she had already made up her mind. β
Shen Chen pursed his lips, "I'm here, safe." β
"Talk nonsense, you're talking like grandpa isn't safe. It's okay, but I just want to put people under my nose and feel at ease. β
"However," Zhao Ziling's words changed, "The Lu family and the Leng family still have a marriage contract, and Leng Xuan is a ...... person."
Zhao Ziling thought of the scene when he first saw Leng Xuan, the young man followed behind his grandfather, obviously he was about the same age as him, but he was already able to talk to various adults skillfully.
He stood in the crowd and was the focus of everyone's attention. Grandpa said to himself that this teenager has such talent and ability, and he should stand on a higher stage instead of being bound by immediate interests.
That's right.
He and Shen Chen, Bai Haoran of the Bai family and his sister Bai Xiyue have had a good relationship since childhood. The Zhao, Shen, and Bai families not only have similar status, but also occupy the majority of the three worlds of commerce, military, and politics; The older generation is also a lifelong friend. There is no conflict of interest between the families for the time being, and the elders also hope that they can continue this relationship and twist the three families into a rope.
And Leng Xuan is an outsider in this circle.
The two members of the Leng family are not capable, otherwise they would not have rushed to make a marriage contract with the Lu family, trying to stabilize the industry by marriage. It's just a second-rate family, although it won't collapse immediately, but according to their short-sighted tossing method, it won't be able to flutter for a few years.
His grandfather took Leng Xuan with him, undoubtedly pulling them along. Zhao Ziling once asked his grandfather incomprehensibly why he wanted to lend a helping hand to such a family.
"It's not the Leng family that I want to help, it's this child." His grandfather, Zhao Yun, replied like this. "He's capable, he's ambitious, he's ambitious. If he is given the opportunity to grow, he may become the enemy of our family. β
"However, he still has a conscience." Grandpa's gaze was far-reaching, as if he was staring at the painting on the wall, and more like he was looking at some distant future. "There are so many cakes, you don't have to grab that piece. Is there a possibility that can give your generation a better choice? β
He knew what that might be, and turned enemies into friends.
Yes, but it's dangerous. The Leng family is now close to the first-class level, if there is really any dissent, the bet is just this kind of affection. Whether it is a win-win situation with greater benefits or a single person with a greater interest in the lead, no one can say for sure.
Only one thing is certain, as long as Zhao Yun is in one day, Leng Xuan will definitely not turn back. For Grandpa Zhao, who helped him all the way, his current every move is definitely worthy of the word "conscience".
"He won't." Shen Chen's answer was affirmative. "Don't worry so much, I'm still here if something happens." Then he thought about it again, "The Bai family is also there." None of us will sit idly by. β
The person on the other side of the phone laughed lowly, Zhao Ziling actually didn't understand what Shen Chen said "no", what he meant specifically, and he didn't understand many things about business. At the beginning, he chose the path he liked, irresponsibly left the burden of his family, and resolutely chose music, so that now he will have a sense of powerlessness in many things.
"Smack-" That loud slap hit him in the face, and it hurt hotly.
He is the only child in the family and the only heir of the Zhao family. From an early age, his father cultivated his business acumen, how to take over the family's business, etc. His life should have been clear, taking over the family business from his father.
But that year, he secretly obtained the admission certificate of the Imperial Conservatory of Music without telling his father, and then tore the admission notice of the business school to shreds in front of his father.
"I'm going to study music, I just love music." At that time, he said this very firmly, and his father bit his lip and slapped him angrily.
"Are you crazy, go to learn music, what about the Zhao family's industry? We have only one child in our family, who else but you? You tell me, huh?! Then he raised his hand and slapped him again.
Stopped by grandpa.
"Father, me!" Father Zhao looked at his grandfather Zhao Yun and was speechless for a while.
Grandpa patted Zhao's father on the shoulder, and said something serious, "Don't be like this." The foundation we have laid is to give children more choices, not to bind their ideals. β
"Father, I know it, but now the situation is ......" Zhao's father couldn't hide the anxiety in his tone.
"Alright." Grandpa knocked on the cane in his hand, "The sky is falling, and I am not old." β
Walking forward, Grandpa looked at him with the same kindness in his eyes. "You kid, you've been very well-behaved since you were a child, and every time we want you to learn, you learn what, and you never let parents worry about it."
"I'm always thinking, I'm scared, I'm thinking about what you want, I'm afraid you don't want. And then like a robot, it grows up under our guidance and develops according to the trajectory we expect. β
"It's good now, you can be firm about what you want, learn music, that's good."
"I want you to know that your family will support your ideals and that your family wants you to be happy. I am, your parents, too. β
"We will not put shackles on you, we will not hinder your future. So don't worry, kid, there is a grandfather in this family, and nothing will happen. β
Then Grandpa left on crutches, muttering as he went, "I'm not old yet." The old naughty boy is generally a little unconvinced and naΓ―ve.
Since then, he has embarked on the road of music, and even his father has never said a "no" to him.
However, five years later, every time there is something to deal with, and he sees his father becoming more and more powerless, he will feel bitter about his previous decision. The only thing that can make him happy and moved is probably that the friends around him are still as always supporting him.
"Brother Shen, thank you."
For Xia Qingyu, this night was a night of sleeping until noon. It wasn't until the system dog dragged her out of bed and forced her to go to lunch that her chaotic brain cleared up a little.
The pick-up area at the door took his own takeaway, Xia Qingyu praised the thoughtful service here, and said to the system, "Next time the roast duck, please call the one in the east, the sauce here is not so delicious." β
System [...... Am I your dog or your babysitter? γ
Xia Qingyu [One thing is one yard, and you have to keep improving things, isn't it? ] γ
[Then the next time you pay.] γ
Xia Qingyu [Don't be so angry, who is with whom? γ
System [...... Don't talk to me about friendships, the relationship between the tasker and the person who issued the task. γ
[However,] the system has corrected the timbre, [Your live broadcast last night may have a miraculous effect, in short, you are going to be on fire.] γ
Xia Qingyu: ? I didn't understand too much.
[Open your phone to watch the hot search, the 24th place is yours. ] γ
Xia Qingyu turned on her phone according to the instructions of the system and saw the hot search list, and the 24th place showed that the live broadcast room "had a good dream tonight"; The 25th place shows that the singing anchor "I sing seriously"; The 26th place shows that "Tonight" has a miraculous effect in treating insomnia.
However, within two minutes, the entries were jumping up two more squares.
Xia Qingyuγ...... Are these me? γ
[Woo woo......] system dog, biting the bone in front of it, and making slurred syllables in its mouth, [According to this trend, it should be able to rush into the top 10.] γ
[If you are still live tonight, I roughly estimated that the number of people in the live broadcast room may exceed 100,000. γ
Xia Qingyu: ......
I didn't even know I was so good.
