Chapter 389: Waiting for Someone I Love But Cannot Have

Seeing these words also left Mu En stunned.

He had originally just intended to butter him up, but he never expected it to be so evocative.

The two of them stood on Zheng Qian's left and right, like door gods.

With their heads bowed, they began to watch impatiently to see what he would write next.

[Waiting for someone you can't have, waiting for someone to plunge into the fireworks.]

[Waiting for someone to break my heart, waiting for someone to leave me lost and soul-broken.]

[neon, neon.] (Back up section)

[Waiting for someone, to throw myself into love, and then once again, be banished from where my heart longs to be.]

[Waiting for someone, as the beautiful times flow by, and then once again, left alone to drown in my own heart.]

[neon, neon.] (Back up section)

[In the most neon of times, meeting you, it wasn't right.]

[In the most neon of times, losing you, heartbreak.]

[In the most neon of times, falling for you, humility.]

[In the most neon of times, missing you, original sin.]

Zheng Qian wrote these lyrics in almost one breath. Picking up the pen, scenes from the past replayed before him. Like a movie, they flickered continuously in his mind.

The object of the words was not his ex-girlfriend Yao Manman; she didn't have that qualification.

Rather, it was Zheng Qian's beautiful fantasy from his student days.

That was a dream every boy would have in his heart.

As the last word was finished, Zheng Qian set the pen on the table and let out a long sigh.

"It's finished. I don't know if it's good or not. Take a look, or maybe we should wait for Shanshan..."

After finishing, Zheng Qian felt a bit embarrassed.

This was somewhat akin to showing off before an expert. Mu En had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had collaborated with many excellent musicians, not to mention talented lyricists and composers whose abilities were beyond doubt.

And his work had almost no technique; it was just an expression of his own emotions throughout.

Clapping, clapping—at this moment, Mu En and Manager Nie Kai began to applaud wildly.

"Good, good, good! This is simply too good!"

"No need to find him. Not a single word needs to be changed—I said so!"

Mu En excitedly grabbed Zheng Qian's hand, his voice even trembling slightly. "It's really good, even better than I imagined. To be honest, my original intention earlier was just to butter you up, but right now, I am being extremely serious!"

"Just for these few lines, I, Mu En, will exhaust all my abilities and mobilize all my resources to create the best work!"

He was indeed very serious.

He even went as far as revealing his true thoughts from earlier.

His eyes were deeply moved and serious.

Manager Nie Kai and Mu En didn't have much interaction, but they had occasionally collaborated.

They had previously produced an album for a certain female star together. Although his attitude was very professional back then, it wasn't like this time.

He could feel that Mu En really loved these lyrics.

He actually liked them very much too, and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had underestimated Zheng Qian.

Sigh, there's a reason why he can have so many women around him.

I didn't expect him to be such a playboy.

"Young Master Zheng, I am serious! Even if you lower the amount in the contract, I must produce this single! Absolutely do not find anyone else! Even if they are cheaper, don't look for them!"

"No, not just this single, but the album! Please let me make the album for Yin Yanyan, I beg you!"

"I will definitely do my utmost to create the most stunning album!"

"I must make Yin Yanyan a hit across Asia!"

Zheng Qian also hadn't expected Mu En's reaction to be so big.

He had just heard the melody, felt inspired, and simply expressed his inner emotions.

However, knowing that what he wrote could be liked by others still made Zheng Qian feel very happy.

He handed over two cigarettes and said with a smile:

"Rest assured, I am also very happy that you like it so much."

"There might be a few places that don't quite fit the drum beats and rhythm of the music; just arrange it as you see fit."

Mu En nodded vigorously.

He clutched the paper tightly, as if afraid someone would snatch it away.

"Alright, how are things with the film crew?"

Zheng Qian suddenly changed the subject and looked at Manager Nie Kai beside him.

"Uh… this… well…"

Manager Nie Kai's heart trembled slightly; he had only heard about what exactly happened there just before Zheng Qian arrived.

Although he knew Zheng Qian had contacted the Su Family and temporarily settled the matter, according to the news he received, it seemed the Sun Family was not very happy. The head of the family was furious, believing it was a slap in the face to their family.

This score, no matter what, had to be settled.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Manager Nie Kai hesitating, Zheng Qian couldn't help but frown and ask.

"It's like this…"

He recounted the whole process of what happened to Zheng Qian.

Mu En, however, had no interest in listening to these matters and had long since run off to the side with the paper. He put on his headphones, fully immersed himself in the world of music, and swore to do a good job on this single.

"So that's how it is."

Zheng Qian nodded slightly; Manager Nie Kai couldn't tell if his expression had changed at all.

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Qian said slowly, "It's getting late now. Have Huo Muyan and Yin Yanyan come over to rest. I want to personally confirm what kind of harm they have suffered."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

It seemed that with every word, Zheng Qian was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

He was truly angry.

It wasn't just because Sun Zhifeng dared to cause trouble in the film crew he invested in; the most critical point was that, in a sense, they were his "women," or at least his own people.

To think that Sun Zhifeng would be so classless; acting tough in front of women, what kind of skill is that?

Very well. Since he provoked my women, then I will make the culprit, that Feng Miaomiao, pay the price.

Doesn't she like bringing people along to act tough?

I'll let her know properly that the adult world isn't so easy to navigate.

"Manager Nie Kai, I have a task for you."

Zheng Qian took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, "That Feng Miaomiao, no matter what resources she has in Hong Kong, or what boss in her company is protecting her, I don't care. Before Huo Muyan and Yin Yanyan arrive, I want her to appear before me."

Manager Nie Kai's heart jolted, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

He knew that when Zheng Qian was angry, no matter what he said, he had to agree immediately.

"Let's do this, I'll give you some ideas."

"The foundation's money should be managed by a certain bank, right? Contact the local branch manager immediately, have them investigate Feng Miaomiao's deposits, find out exactly which bank it is, and freeze them for me."

"Contact the company's HR department, have her shelved immediately, and stop all bonuses and earnings."

"What? You say the bank might not cooperate?"

"Tell them that I am about to deposit twenty billion, and have them kneel and get it done for me…"
