ECG -Chapter 118 Qin Ruoyun Has Arrived

Lin Hao didn’t criticize them. After all, it was their first day of rehearsal, and it was completely normal for these problems to appear.

He looked at Cui Gang.

“How is it, Old Cui? Did you manage to find a bit of the feeling?”

Cui Gang nodded repeatedly.

“Good! Then let’s do it one more time!”

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Hao locked the door, and everyone headed back.

Although everyone was exhausted, their minds were extremely excited at this moment. Each of them was full of motivation.

“Old Cui, these last two rounds were really something. There’s definitely a real flavor to it!” Gao the Boss said, patting Cui Gang on the shoulder.

“Yeah, I’m also getting more and more of the feeling the more I sing!” Cui Gang nodded.

Lin Hao was quite satisfied as well. There were only six songs in total, and they still had three months. There shouldn’t be any problems.

Ever since he saw Xiao Xu at Fourth Sister’s grave that day and heard his story, he had thought of a song. However, he had only written half of it. Tonight, he would try to finish it and upload it to the [China Music Copyright Association] website as soon as possible to apply for the music copyright, avoiding trouble in the future.

……

The 3.8 million yuan from Mei Ying Music had already arrived a couple of days ago. The current postal express delivery system was practically as slow as an ox cart. After he mailed out the nineteen songs, it took eleven days before the people in Yanjing finally received them.

Lin Hao now had 4.8 million yuan in his account. This was a number he would never have even dreamed of in his previous life. If he had possessed this much money back then, he wouldn’t have ended up dying alone in a rented apartment.

In this life, because he had already predicted all of this long ago, he didn’t have that overwhelming excitement of a poor person suddenly becoming rich. He still lived exactly as he always did.

He had already given the competition piece for the [Steinway Cup National College Student Professional Piano Competition] to Fan Gang. From then on, every day was spent in a state of busyness.

Every morning, after Wu Xiaozhou and the others left, he would go to the drama department to attend classes as an auditing student. Guan Yuqi would sometimes even give him some extra lessons.

In the afternoon, he still had to review because the graduate entrance interview was about to begin.

At night, he had band rehearsals. After returning at ten o’clock, he first had to chat with Xia Yumeng on QQ for a while. After that, he still had to write the songs he wanted to apply for copyrights for.

Those classic songs’ melodies and arrangements were no problem for him, but because he didn’t sing several of the female songs himself, the lyrics were quite blurry in his memories. He had to desperately rack his brain to recall them, so some of the songs were written more slowly.

Lin Hao felt that there simply wasn’t enough time. He slept at most six or seven hours a day. Before, he used to go running outside every night, but now he could only move it to the morning. However, because he went to bed late, he couldn’t wake up too early either.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was April 20th, and Lin Hao successfully passed the graduate re-examination.

In the evening, Xia Yumeng and Jiang Rong also came over, saying they wanted to celebrate with Lin Hao.

So Lin Hao called everyone over, and a large group of them went to a hot pot restaurant near the school.

After Fourth Sister passed away, he stopped going to the ferry to pick up that guitar. He also no longer wanted to visit the Hu Da Wok Braised Dishes Restaurant across from the ferry, because he wanted to avoid being reminded of the past.

This hot pot restaurant was very large, and the decorations were also extremely luxurious. Wu Xiaozhou asked the waiter if there was a larger private room available. The waiter smiled and said that reservations were required, and they were already fully booked. There were only a few tables left in the first-floor dining area.

Everyone had no choice but to sit in the hall. Lin Hao didn’t mind—it was lively.

The hall was packed with people, and steam filled the air.

Just as Lin Hao sat down, his phone rang.

“Hello, how can I help you?” The number was unfamiliar. Judging from the area code, it was from Yanjing, and Lin Hao didn’t know who it was.

“Hello, Teacher Lin. I’m Qin Ruoyun!”

A mature and magnetic woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xia Yumeng was sitting beside Lin Hao. Seeing that it looked like there was something on Lin Hao’s face, she naturally reached out and wiped it away for him.

Chu Xiaomei’s attention was completely on Lin Hao. When she saw Xia Yumeng’s action, her heart tightened.

Her breathing started becoming rapid.

Could it be that the two of them were together?

No! Impossible! How could that be? How could this be possible?

Chu Xiaomei’s vision began to blur. Looking at Xia Yumeng smiling brightly as she watched Lin Hao, she couldn’t believe her own eyes. Xia Yumeng’s school was so far away, and she and Lin Hao had only met a few times, right?

No, wait… Xia Yumeng’s family was also from Chunhe. I understand now, I understand!

Her nose turned sour, but then she noticed that someone was holding her right hand. Turning her head, she saw Bai Zhitao’s fair and pretty face, her eyes full of encouragement.

Chu Xiaomei lowered her head, feeling the strength coming from Bai Zhitao’s hand.

When Lin Hao heard that it was Qin Ruoyun, he was stunned. Why would she call him?

But his reaction was quick, and he immediately smiled.

“Hello, Miss Qin!”

“I came to Xuecheng for some business and wanted to visit you while I’m here. Would that be convenient?”

Although Qin Ruoyun had mentally prepared herself, she still hadn’t expected the song Seeing Flowers Through the Fog that Lin Hao wrote for her to be so good. So after finishing the recording at the studio today, she suddenly decided to head straight to the airport. She urgently wanted to meet this genius.

Her assistant, Shu Dongdong, had bought her ticket and then was sent back by her.

After getting off the plane, she finally realized that she really had acted a little impulsively. But she had always been such a free-spirited and spontaneous person. Since she had already come, she had to meet him.

It wasn’t even May Day yet, and the temperature in the provincial capital wasn’t very high. She was dressed too lightly, but fortunately, she had informed a friend in advance to come pick her up.

Wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, Qin Ruoyun stood by the roadside and lit a cigarette. She had only taken a few puffs when a black Audi A6 stopped beside her. Then a man in his late thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, stepped out from the driver’s seat.

“Xiaoyun! Sorry, sorry, I’m still late after all!”

The man kept apologizing.

Qin Ruoyun laughed.

“How could I dare get angry? Having you, the chief secretary of Long Province, personally come to pick me up is already an honor beyond words!”

The man burst out laughing and pointed at her jokingly.

“Your mouth is still exactly the same as before! Come on, get in the car. It’s freezing out here!”

After the two got into the car, the man asked curiously:

“What are you here for? You didn’t even bring any luggage!”

“I came to see a genius!”

“A genius?”

“Yes! A genius!”

After saying that, Qin Ruoyun giggled again.

Yang Qianyi had given her Lin Hao’s phone number long ago, so she took out her phone and called him.

“It’s convenient. I happen to be eating with some classmates right now. I’ll give you the address!”

Lin Hao told her the restaurant’s address.

After hanging up, he was still a little surprised. Qin Ruoyun was not Yang Qianyi. She had been famous for a long time, and every album she released could rank among the top three on the sales charts.

The song he wrote for her was definitely very suitable for her voice, but having such a huge celebrity suddenly come all the way to see him still felt a little strange.

Although Xia Yumeng’s seat was too far away for her to hear what was said on the phone, she could vaguely hear that it was a woman’s voice. Hearing Lin Hao call her “Miss Qin,” she felt suspicious but didn’t ask anything.

Wu Xiaozhou was like a curious child and asked:

“Who is it?”

“Qin Ruoyun!”

“Who?”

Wu Xiaozhou was startled and asked again.

Lin Hao said:

“Qin Ruoyun!”

“Damn!”

Wu Xiaozhou blurted out a curse.

Bai Zhitao was still holding Chu Xiaomei’s hand, but after hearing that the person who called just now was actually Qin Ruoyun, she was also unable to believe it.

“Really Qin Ruoyun?”

Lin Hao nodded.

“The Qin Ruoyun who sings Twilight Over the Bamboo Forest?” Bai Zhitao asked again.

Lin Hao could only helplessly nod once more.
