Two more days passed, and because of this incident, the two of them also tied up Ye Qingyan.

Three people must act together.

Ye Qingyan felt confused: "I have so many bodyguards, what use would it be to be tied to the two of you?"

"That's perfect, you can be our bodyguard and protect the three of us together." Although Yang Tao was curious about everything and wanted to become a big reporter, she was essentially still a helpless girl.

Qingyan chuckled, but did not refuse.

In the first few days, the suicide caused widespread panic, and it seemed like everyone was talking about it. But after a few days, it was as if everyone had forgotten about it, and new topics of conversation arose.

But perhaps because of Jin Ze's words, or perhaps because they accidentally witnessed the girl's family crying their hearts out at school, Zhen Tian and Yang Tao felt even more heartbroken when they saw that everyone had already forgotten about the incident.

The music competition is still ongoing.

You can't expect the school to cancel such an important competition because of a girl who committed suicide.

To put it bluntly, this competition is about finding promising talents to enter the entertainment industry. For the school, each student who becomes famous brings even more prestige.

Ye Qingyan and her team fought their way through the competition and successfully entered the finals.

"I bet those people would be furious if they knew you'd already signed with a company and were still competing with them for first place." Yang Tao spat out a grape skin and threw it in the trash can.

The three of them took advantage of the nice afternoon sun and had a picnic on a bench in the school's small garden.

"The ranking doesn't matter. I reckon that by this stage of the competition, those industry leaders have already chosen their candidates. Those who make it to the finals are probably all already taken. Everyone's keeping it a secret, afraid that someone else might be eyeing their spot."

Ye Qingyan could see it clearly.

"So, how many pianists did you choose?"

"Me."

"Is it that you don't know, or is it really you?" Yang Tao's inquisitive nature resurfaced.

"He told me himself, just me. He originally came to help select some promising talents. It was an accident that he chose me," Ye Qingyan said matter-of-factly.

"So he really thinks you have talent?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would they make me go on tour with him? It's very difficult for musicians to go on tour." Ye Qingyan spat the grape skins into the trash can from a distance.

"What are you busy with?" Yang Tao nudged Yang Tao next to her. "You've been glued to your phone since just now. Did Brother Ji text you?"

"No." Zhen Tian shook her head. "The editor will contact me."

She handed her phone to the two of them to look at.

[Xiaoyu: Big big big, someone on the website has their eye on your comic and wants to buy the rights to adapt it into a comic for you!]

[Sweet Tongue: A Comic Strip?]

[Xiaoyu: That's right. The copyright for the adapted comic is sold in a one-time transaction. The website estimates it at 3.4 million, an exclusive license to the investor company.]

[Xiaoyu: Is there a problem with the price?]

[Sweet Tongue: Adaptation is fine, but I must draw the comic myself.]

[Xiaoyu: This website is worth discussing further with the investors.]

[Sweet Tongue: Contact me again after the discussion is over.]

"3.4 million?" Yang Tao exclaimed, "You just casually made over 3 million again?"

She paid no attention to anything else; all she could see was the enormous 3.4 million.

"It doesn't seem that high." Ye Qingyan took a bite of the sliced ​​melon. "Your monthly income is quite good now. This is probably what you've earned in less than two years."

"Hmm." Zhen Tian nodded: "I'll ask Jun Li what price range would be appropriate."

"Ask away, he's an expert."

"Isn't this enough?" Yang Tao clicked her tongue. "I think we're from different worlds and can't be friends."

"Take care, don't bother seeing me off." Ye Qingyan took another bite of the peach, while Zhen Tian continued to post her first message.

"Waaaaah, you didn't even try to stop me, what a fake sisterhood!" Yang Tao's fake crying was exceptional: "This matter must be resolved with a barbecue."

"Burn! Let's go."

They could just pack up and go.

Ye Qingyan and Yang Tao packed up the fruit and snacks and tossed them into the back seat of the car. They also tossed Zhen Tian into the back seat along with them.

The car headed straight for the barbecue restaurant.

Once inside the shop, Zhen Tian looked up and asked, "Huh? Why are you having barbecue?"

"Never mind that, just eat." Ye Qingyan wiped the table for her. "What did Shao Junli say?"

"He said he wasn't sure about pricing in our industry either. He'll go ask around for me." Zhen Tian put away her phone.

Ye Qingyan nodded: "Brother Ji truly lives up to his name. He dared to place Shao Junli by your side and even left for half a year himself. He's a genius."

"What's wrong?"

"Don't tell me you don't know that Shao Junli likes you!" Ye Qingyan was speechless.

"Huh? No way."

"What do you mean he can't? Although he's probably given up now, he was always quietly doing things for you in high school. Sometimes I couldn't bear to look at him with those eyes." Ye Qingyan clicked her tongue twice.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense are you spouting? If you don't believe me, ask Yuan Yuan."

"I won't ask, it's too embarrassing." Zhen Tian unpacked the disposable chopsticks.

"Who is Shao Junli?" Yang Tao was completely confused.

“He was our high school classmate, and her former suitor.”

"Then don't tell me you didn't know Brother Yang likes you." Zhen Tian was furious and wanted to get back at him.

Ye Qingyan's smile froze: "What are you talking about?"

"Hmph. You didn't know, did you?" Zhen Tian smiled like a cat that had just stolen some cream: "Brother Yang liked you back in high school too."

"Impossible, we fight every day." Ye Qingyan waved her hand.

"It's true, you can ask Yuan Yuan if you don't believe me."

"I won't ask. Ask all at once."

Neither of them would give in, and in the end, the call ended up going to Yuan Yuan.

"Yuanyuan, tell me, did Shao Junli like Zhen Tian in high school?"

"Yuanyuan, tell me, did Brother Yang like Qingyan in high school?"

Two voices rang in Yuan Yuan's ears at the same time, and she felt as if two flies were swatting at her.

"Ye Qingyan insists that Jun Li likes me..."

"How could Yang Feiguang possibly like me? Isn't that a joke?"

The two of them chattered on and on.

Yuan Yuan's face visibly darkened. Lu Lin seemed to hear his sister's voice and looked up at Yuan Yuan behind him.

When the two were arguing so fiercely, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but lower her voice and say, "Get out."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

"Is she my sister?" Lu Lin asked.

"They are two annoying flies."

"How could you describe my adorable sister as a fly?"

"Let's review your mistakes from the last game, let's do a replay..."

Lu Lin: "..."

What an amazing woman.

Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan were equally incredulous that their calls had been disconnected.

Yang Tao couldn't help but burst into laughter as she watched the two arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick.
