Chapter 166 – The Boss Seems To Know Music?
“Don’t ask me when I can cross the mountains and rivers, cross the prairie and come to you… Because that, that is today… ” Lu Xiaoshu’s affectionate singing won the applause of several customers in the coffee shop.
Yang Yi also smiled slightly and applauded for them.
“Thank you! Thank you!” Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan clasped their hands and thanked the “audience”. At first, they were still a little uneasy, but they were affirmed1Given recognition. in the end. They were a little overjoyed, and their green faces were filled with happy smiles.
“You sing very well!” A young and tender voice chimed in.
Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan looked down and saw that it was a delicate and lovely little girl. The little girl wearing culottes with a long top was bright and beautiful. They knew that this little girl was the boss’s daughter, so they scratched their heads and smiled sheepishly.
They could also be praised by children!
“Our family’s Xixi seldom praises people, which shows that your songs are really good! What’s your name?” Yang Yi rubbed his daughter’s hair dotingly, then raised his head and asked with a smile.
Xixi felt that she was praised by her father in front of outsiders. She was happy and shy in her heart. She giggled, pulled down her father’s big hand, turned around and ran away. Xiao Guai and Duoduo followed her.
Xiao Hui, who just now sneaked into the bar out of curiosity and was gnawing on Yang Yi’s pant leg, heard the noise, and he scurry his legs out to catch up with his friends.
“The song is called ‘I Miss Her In Northern Winter’. It was written by A’chuan.” Lu Xiaoshu replied hurriedly.
“A’Shu is also involved in composing the music. He is very good at composing music. In the past, a company wanted him to do composing.” Miao Chuan was also praising his companion.
While making coffee for them, Yang Yi said with a smile, “Oh, really? Why didn’t you go?”
Lu Xiaoshu said with some embarrassment, “I don’t want to just compose music. I still prefer singing.”
“Well, you have a very good voice.” Yang Yi nodded and said, “it’s a pity not to sing.”
In fact, Yang Yi envied Lu Xiaoshu’s voice a little. He could basically sing all folk songs, and his singing was no worse than the original! Just like many people would like to listen to Zuo Li’s version of “Miss Dong”, the clean voice of young male singers was still more attractive than that of an uncle of vicissitudes.
“The problem is my looks.” Lu Xiaoshu said helplessly, “I sent samples to the record company before, and they asked me to have a try, but when they saw me in person, they shook their heads, saying that my looks is not suitable to be a star…”
Indeed, Lu Xiaoshu’s looks was very ordinary. It wasn’t particularly ugly, but definitely not handsome. In contrast, Yang Yi could be called a masculine handsome guy in the old days, while Lu Xiaoshu wasn’t handsome no matter in which era.
Miao Chuan was also the same. The two were probably in the same boat…
Yang Yi didn’t like to comfort adults. He believed that adults should have their own perseverance, but he reluctantly said: “It’s okay, the road of music has never been smooth. Stick to your dreams and move forward. I believe you will succeed!”
“Thank you!” Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan both nodded.
Yang Yi has finished the work at hand, and he brought out two cups of hot coffee: “Santos2Name of coffee., I invite you to have a taste!”
Santos was much more expensive than Mocha. Lu Xiaoshu was stupefied for a moment, but he nodded naturally and said with a smile, “Okay, thank you, boss!”
“By the way!” Yang Yi stopped them, smiled slightly and said, “Regarding your song just now, I have a small suggestion. Of course, if you feel that it’s not appropriate, you can ignore it. That is, you can consider changing the long string of melodies at the end, which is a bit flashy. I think it would be better to have a clean two or three note loop with a reverberant effect.”
This suggestion immediately caused Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan to fall into contemplation. Sure enough, they were two guys who loved music and were obsessed with it. They forgot to respond to Yang Yi and went to a booth with coffee in a daze, and then sat face to face with a contemplative expression.
Yang Yi shook his head and didn’t mind it.
After a long time, Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan came to their senses.
“A’Chuan, it seems that the boss has a point.” Lu Xiaoshu’s fingers were dangling on the table as if he were plucking strings.
“Well, it’s not your fault. At that time, when I wrote it, I wanted to make the emotion a little stronger, so I added a bit of a rock’n’roll element.” Miao Chuan nodded.
“Hey, let’s drink our coffee and not wait for it to get cold.” Lu Xiaoshu also helped Miao Chuan open the sugar jar and add sugar. “But I was quite surprised. I didn’t expect the boss to know so much about music. I wonder if he can write songs. I really want to communicate with him!”
The shop was playing music CD again. The surround-type HIFI-level speakers vividly reflected the beautiful melody of this pure music. Some of the customers were so intoxicated that they didn’t want to leave!
“Probably not, right?” Miao Chuan took a sip of the coffee and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Santos coffee tastes very good, with moderate bitterness and acidity are moderate, and Yang Yi uses the freshest coffee beans. After having a drink, one’s lips and teeth remain fragrant, as if there was a natural fragrance of lemon, grape, apple and other fruits!
Miao Chuan continued: “People who like to listen to songs don’t necessarily write songs! But I think the boss is a person with a musical dream. He said it very well just now when he encouraged us!”
“Um!” Lu Xiaoshu was busy tasting the coffee. He still knew a thing or two about it. He smelled it again and took a second taste. He was too busy to speak.
…….
In the evening, Yang Yi took Xixi to pick up Mo Fei.
After having not seen her for several days, he really missed her very much.
However, just as Yang Yi looked at Mo Fei affectionately, Mo Fei couldn’t help but laugh when she saw him, then squatted on ground laughing, clutching her stomach, unable to stand up.
This made Yang Yi baffled. He even touched his face. There were no rice grains stuck on it, right?
“Mama, do you have a stomachache?” Xixi couldn’t help but poke out her little head, looked at her mother, and asked worriedly.
How would they know? Mo Fei was laughing because she remembered the cartoon Yang Yi sent her as usual this morning.
It was still about the shape of love, but this time, the little man was sticking out his bottom, and behind his bottom floated a shape of a heart: Even fart reminds me of my love for you!
In the morning, she and Mo Xiaojuan were laughing so much that they almost had cramps.
After picking up Mo Fei, Yang Yi changed Mo Fei’s appearance as before, so that although she still looked very beautiful, at least she wouldn’t be recognized as Mo Fei.
“Hmm, I still don’t like Mama’s looks!” When Xixi saw the end result, she pouted his mouth and said, “Mama originally is very beautiful!”
Mo Fei raised her head gently, looked at Yang Yi proudly and told him, “See, this lady is naturally beautiful, and looks good in her own right!”3Referring to herself.
Yang Yi looked into Mo Fei’s eyes and remembered something. He opened the storage box of the car, took out a pair of thin glasses that looked like ordinary myopic glasses, and hung them up to Mo Fei: “Okay, no one will recognize you! I guarantee. Even if Mo Xiaojuan stood in front of you, she wouldn’t recognize you!”
“It’s a little ugly, these glasses.” Although the glasses were plain, Mo Fei couldn’t help being picky.
“It has to look ordinary! If you wear your exaggerated sunglasses, I’m afraid there will be more people looking back at you to see if you are a star!” Yang Yi explained seriously.
All right, straight guy…
