212: Can you walk by yourself so late? No

Chen Fang had just put away the gun and the box when the sound of a door opening echoed from the entrance again.

Opening the door, Jiang Haotian and Yu Mengmeng walked in, carrying snacks.

Jiang Haotian's eyes lit up when he saw Yue Qingzhu, "Sister Qingzhu, you're here too."

"Mm, I just came to drop something off. You guys have your dinner party," Yue Qingzhu said, getting up to leave.

A flash of lightning went through Jiang Haotian's mind. He glanced at Chen Fang, then at Yue Qingzhu.

In his mind, he recalled what the two of them had said to him during their lunch break in the adventures—

"Chen Fang hasn't touched it yet, so you can drink it. No, don't drink it yet, take it into the rest vehicle and then drink it."

"Give it back to me, you try a sip."

My goodness!

So when they were drinking milk tea that day, was he a third wheel?

No, how could they treat a third wheel like that? He must have been part of their game!

Jiang Haotian chuckled and said, "Sister Qingzhu, let's eat together."

Yu Mengmeng didn't think too much, "Let's eat together, let's eat together. It's a dinner party for our Tang Sect plus Du Yunxiang, and I'm the only girl. No one will play with me later."

Du Yunxiang glanced at Chen Fang and also had the good sense to persuade her to stay.

And so, a four-person dinner party turned into a five-person meal.

The five of them chatted while eating, discussing their recent plans.

Chen Fang looked at Yue Qingzhu, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Next, one is routine work like going on music variety shows, holding concerts, and taking on endorsements. The second is to find a teacher to continue learning songwriting. My music theory foundation is pretty solid now, so next, I'll start by imitating and trying simple compositions. Composing lyrics, composing melodies. I aim to complete two demos before the end of the year," Yue Qingzhu said, then remembered Du Yunxiang was still there, "A demo is just a rough version, the initial version."

Chen Fang nodded, "Then you'll have to go out often, right?"

Yue Qingzhu pursed her lips, sniffed, and glanced at him, "Yes, I'm going to Zhe Province for half a month soon. What about you?"

Chen Fang also felt a bit regretful but didn't show it, directly replying, "I'll rest for a few days first, and next month will also be work like music variety shows."

He didn't mention the Spring Festival Gala because that had to be kept secret; he couldn't say it in front of everyone.

"I'm going to Guangdong Province to film next month," Jiang Haotian sighed, "Remember to miss me."

Chen Fang put on a reluctant expression and sighed lightly, "It's okay, I'll send Sun Wukong to see you."

Jiang Haotian asked back in confusion, "Sun Wukong?"

Du Yunxiang held his breath, raised his hand to block Jiang Haotian, "Don't ask, don't ask, Chen Fang, don't say it!"

Yue Qingzhu blinked, "It's a cockroach, right?"

Chen Fang heard two voices.

[Jiang Haotian Negative Emotion Value +366]

[Du Yunxiang Negative Emotion Value +166]

Thanks for speaking for me.

...

Inside the house, they had eaten and drunk to their fill.

Outside, the moon was high in the branches.

After dinner, everyone played games for a while and chatted about entertainment industry gossip. Time quickly reached nine o'clock, and it was time to go home.

Everyone arrived at the gate of the villa residence, only to see two cars parked outside the courtyard gate.

Chen Fang asked, "Why are there only two cars?"

Yu Mengmeng pointed to the black sedan in front, "Jiang Haotian and I are going the same way, so we're both taking the company car."

"The one behind is mine," Du Yunxiang zipped up his jacket.

Jiang Haotian turned his head and asked, "Teacher Yue, has your car not arrived yet?"

Yue Qingzhu shook her head, "I don't need one."

Jiang Haotian blinked.

Du Yunxiang held his breath, slowly turned his head to look at Yue Qingzhu and Chen Fang, blinked, then said, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I have an urgent matter soon, you two chat slowly."

After speaking, he immediately walked towards the gate.

Jiang Haotian was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I also have an urgent matter, Senior Sister, let's go!"

Yu Mengmeng stood still, "Sister Qingzhu, how will you get back? It's not safe to walk at night, and we have an empty seat in our car, I..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Haotian pulled her by her hat, "None of your business! I have an urgent matter, don't dawdle, hurry up."

Yue Qingzhu watched the two cars speed away and sighed in a daze, "Your dinner party time is quite tight."

Chen Fang pursed his lips, "No, it's what you said that made them think you were staying overnight."

"Ah?" Yue Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, her cheeks flushed, and she instantly clenched her fists, widening her eyes and glaring at him, "You heard that, why didn't you explain!"

"Without your permission, can I expose your address?"

Yue Qingzhu pursed her lips.

It seemed, she couldn't refute it.

"What should we do? Go clarify now?"

"Don't you think that's like protesting too much?" Yue Qingzhu glanced at him, "Forget it, do as you please, I'm going home."

"Can you walk by yourself this late?"

"No," Yue Qingzhu said righteously, "Then you send me back? It's a good chance for me to return your clothes."

"Okay, which way do we go?"

"Turn left."

...

The night wind gently brushed by, and the moon's shadows dappled under the trees.

The moonlight gradually faded into the clouds, the tree shadows lightened, and the sky turned a fish-belly white, as the city reawakened, ushering in Tuesday.

At ten in the morning, a high-end sedan drove out of the airport and headed towards Tianji Entertainment.

In the independent airline seat of the second row.

Yang Chuanze, the vice president in charge of artists and variety shows, turned to the artist director and said, "We came back early, so we have a lot more time."

"Yes."

"I've already discussed Chen Fang's supplementary agreement with President Qin. No problem, it can be implemented. The company doesn't lack those two bits of money; the key is to retain talent and not give other companies a chance to poach them."

Director Sun Yunyi, the artist director, nodded in agreement, "Okay, don't worry, Tang Chen is very reliable."

"By the way, regarding the Spring Festival Gala, how many groups have signed up this year?"

"For the music section, there are 8 groups: top-tier artists, top-tier groups, second-tier top artists, veteran power singers, young heavenly kings, young heavenly queens, and a child star group." Director Sun Yunyi said, recalling the familiar information in his mind, while opening a document and roughly introducing the situation, "As for dance, there are..."

A minute and a half later, Director Sun Yunyi finished introducing the overall situation.

Yang Chuanze nodded, "The overall lineup is not bad. But I heard that Fenghua Times and Shibei Sea seem to want to make a big push at the Spring Festival Gala this year, is that right?"

"Yes. We've done quite well in government-enterprise cooperation in the past two years. Our TV drama department produced a hit red-themed drama and even received commendation from the State Administration of Radio and Television. Some city promotional videos, sports meeting theme songs, and cultural festivals have also fallen to us. They want to make a big push in government-enterprise cooperation this year, and the Spring Festival Gala is one of them."

"Do you have any news from your side?"

"I can't get specific information, but they should be cooperating with music companies and want to make a big push in song-type programs."

Tianji Entertainment is a comprehensive entertainment company, with overall strength ranking among the top three entertainment companies. However, when it comes to the music sector alone, whether it's Tianji, Shibei Sea, or Fenghua Times, they can only be described as mid-tier within the first echelon.

In the music field, the truly top-tier companies are undoubtedly specialized music record companies.

Yang Chuanze looked out the window, "Let them be. It's not good for one company to dominate. Let them make their push. For the Spring Festival Gala, just relax."

However, he would have to communicate with Vice President He, who is in charge of the TV drama and film departments, later. They couldn't give up too much in terms of government-enterprise relations, lest it affect the production of film and television works and the undertaking of cultural projects.

"Okay, I understand."
