Chapter 162 – The Real Intention Is Revealed In The End
Just as Mo Fei was preparing to go to the meeting, a familiar guest came to the coffee shop as Yang Yi was opening.
“Big Brother Yang, I, Little Fatty Guo is back!” Guo Ziyi, dressed in a green military uniform, shouted excitedly as soon as he opened the glass door.
Yang Yi smiled and nodded as a response, but Xixi happily waved to Guo Ziyi: “Uncle Guo, come here quickly, I will show you my Xiao Guai!”
Only then did Guo Ziyi found that there were three kittens in the store. He was also a person who liked small animals. He ran over and sat in the sofa booth and teased the kittens with Xixi.
“This is Xiao Guai. That is Papa’s Duoduo.” Xixi pointed to the blue kitten that was restlessly wiggling in Guo Ziyi’s hand and said.
Xixi also enthusiastically held out her Xiao Guai, and let Guo Ziyi touch him. She then looked at Guo Ziyi eagerly, wanting him to praise her kitten.
“You’ve tanned a lot.” Yang Yi made Guo Ziyi a cup of coffee and said casually.
“Hehe, of course. I went to Beijing to work in a movie. I was exposed to sun and rain every day. Ah, Big Brother Yang, you have no idea how hard it is!” Guo Ziyi complained bitterly, “And tomorrow afternoon, I will be dragged to military training. Ah, my skin will never get fair again!”
Yang Yi smiled and said, “Isn’t it good to get a tan? Always soft and fair skin, how can a man be so delicate? Besides, I don’t think you’re tanned enough. It’s just right, the military training will grind you again.”
Guo Ziyi rolled his eyes. He seriously doubted Yang Yi’s aesthetics.
“Actually, Big Brother Yang, I came to report yesterday, but I didn’t come here to play with you last night. Do you know why?” Guo Ziyi said excitedly, “Guess where I went?”
“Where have you been?” Yang Yi remained unmoved.
“You don’t even guess. It’s boring!” Guo Ziyi felt very unhappy.
But he adjusted quickly, and immediately said with a grin on his face, “I went to a bar to play. I depended on a senior sister who worked part-time in the bar, so I went to work as a bouncer!”
“You’re doing it just for fun, right?” Yang Yi raised his head and looked at Guo Ziyi. “With your skills, who can you beat? And as a bouncer.”
“……” If Guo Ziyi knew that word, he would definitely scream, “Life is already hard, so don’t expose the truth!1[人艰不拆啊] – Another way to word this is “Some lies are better not exposed, as life is already so hard”. The English equivalent of this is the English slang “To cut someone some slack”, big brother!”
After drinking coffee, Guo Ziyi had no intention of staying for dinner. He smiled and said, “All right, Big Brother Yang, I’m going to help my senior sister welcome the new students, so I won’t chat with you anymore. I’ll see you when I come back from the military training!”
Guo Ziyi, this fellow. Although he was a warm-hearted person, his so-called helping his senior sister welcome the new students was definitely not a whole-hearted desire to help!
What else could there be? He went to see beautiful women. Of course, he didn’t mean Ding Xiang. Ding Xiang was tanned and thin, which didn’t conform to Guo Zi’s aesthetic standard. His goal, of course, was the beauties of the College of Film, College of Music and other colleges with a high proportion of girls!
When new students entered the school, he needed to distribute the resources into the hands of the freshmen beauties.
Although they were his senior sisters in terms of age…
…….
In Tianmei’s meeting room, Mo Fei and Mo Xiaojuan walked in at about the same time. Many people came, and some of the seats were vacant. However, Sister Ling hadn’t arrived yet.
Mo Fei’s appearance still caused a small stir. There were some small artists who looked at her admiringly and there were also people with complicated eyes, including Zhenzhen, a young, beautiful and delicate new generation female singer. She was staring at Mo Fei with eager eyes.
And a trace of deep, hidden jealousy!
Yesterday, Jian Chao had told her of the matter. After listening to Mo Fei’s demo, Zhenzhen was so jealous that she almost wanted to throw her own record into the trash can.
The disparity was too big!
If only there was just one good song2like she was complaining., but each of the twelve songs was top quality works. How could others live with this?
“I’ll try to get this song ‘Crossing The Ocean To See You’ and several other songs for you.” Jian Chao comforted her.
Zhenzhen looked at her agent and asked ambitiously, “Why not grab them all? Anyway, grabbing one or two songs is the same as grabbing all of them!”
Of course, this idea was just something to think about3like, it will never be anything but just something to think about. It will never/couldn’t be done.. Zhenzhen’s status wasn’t strong yet, and a group of people would be coveting it later. Jian Chao also used the words that persuaded Niu Meiling to make Zhenzhen give up the idea.4She was referring to paragraph 16 of Chapter 160 (click here). I also made a correction in that chapter. See TN#2 for the correction. The correction is only for those who read that chapter on or before 2/27/2021.
But now, seeing Mo Fei, Zhenzhen still couldn’t help but feel jealous: “Why don’t I have a good fan? Why does she get all the good things?”
The look in Zhen Zhen’s eyes and the whispers of some people did not affect Mo Fei. As if she didn’t realize it, she sat in her seat, while Mo Xiaojuan, holding a briefcase tightly, sat behind her.
After a while, Niu Meiling came. She held the meeting as usual. She talked about the company’s recent situation and achievements, and praised some small star who have made breakthroughs.
Sister Ling’s praise in public was sometimes more useful than winning some awards. Looking at their excited appearance, Mo Xiaojuan secretly curled her lips: “Never seen the world!”5Green and inexperience. Naïve.
As Mo Xiaojuan waited anxiously, trying to asked herself whether she should talk about Mo Fei’s new album, Niu Meiling finally said, “Let’s talk about Mo Fei’s new album now.”
“Mo Fei’s new album? Hasn’t it just been released? ” Many small stars and agents who were not qualified to get the news were in an uproar. They were stirred up and began to discuss it.
“Cough, cough, be quiet!” This time, Niu Meiling made a noise to interfere. “The reason why I’m bringing up Mo Fei’s new album was that I had promised that as long as Mo Fei could save 12 songs on her own, then I would agree to give her resources to produce a new album. I didn’t expect that Mo Fei was so capable. She found Mu Li’ang and he wrote her twelve songs!”
“Tsk tsk!” Niu Meiling’s tone was a little cold, and it seemed to have a little bit of sarcasm. “Mu Li’ang! He wrote two songs for Chen Yijie and twelve songs for us, each of which was marvelous.”
“Mu Li’ang?” At this moment, after Niu Meiling’s reminder, everyone remembered the significant of what this name represents, and suddenly, there was an uproar again.
They looked at Mo Fei with a mixture of admiration, shock and, of course, full of envy…
Niu Meiling waited until everyone’s voice was a little quieter before she laughed and said, “I, Niu Meiling, is also famous in the industry for keeping my promise. Since I have promised something, I can’t break my promise, right?”
Mo Fei sat there, smiling with relief. She felt that Sister Ling was still the one she knew before and still treated her well.
“My sister! You are really a sweet, naïve young woman!” Mo Xiaojuan behind her, saw Mo Fei’s reaction clearly and couldn’t help but curl her lips secretly.6FYI. In this context, curl’s one lips – an expression that usually shows disapproval. Usually with the shaking of head.
Almost, you should be revealing yourself right about now, right?
Sure enough, Jian Chao, who Mo Xiaojuan had been paying attention to from the corner of her eyes, stood up and said, “Sister Ling, I’m sorry, I have a few words to say.”
“What does Jian Chao want to say?”
Jian Chao smiled, looked around and said, “Yesterday I listened to Mo Fei’s demo together with Sister Ling. What Sister Ling said wasn’t an exaggeration. Each of these twelve songs was marvelous! It can be said that any song, if put in the album of every star under our Tiamei, can be the main hit.”
“So, isn’t it a bit wasteful to put all these twelve songs on one album?” Ignoring Mo Fei’s shocked expression, Jian Chao said to Niu Meiling, “Sister Ling, there are so many people in our company who are looking forward to making a new album to make a name for themselves. Including our Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen also receives announcements day and night, and she just wanted to know when will she achieve success!”
“Wouldn’t it be better for us to allocate our resources reasonably, divide these 12 songs and give our company a few more big stars?” Jian Chao said with a smile.
