The sound quality of the tape recorder was average, and there was a lot of noise, but it did not affect Zou Wenjuan's singing voice.

Her voice has a slightly husky tone and a light control of rhythm, giving people a stunning feeling as soon as she opens her mouth. It is subtle yet powerful. The fact that she can sing a narrative song like this shows her strength.

The girl is beautiful and has the right aura; she'd be perfect as a star. Publishing houses also handle talent agency contracts. Isn't she a ready-made candidate?

I need to hook up with this girl—no, I need to sign her! If things go well, I can sell her films, DVDs, and more…anything goes. She's a music major; in a few years, she'll be doing commercial performances, and her market value will be off the charts.

Xing Baohua turned off the recorder and asked Zou Wenjuan, "Can we talk about something?"

"No!" The answer was so decisive that Xing Baohua was left speechless.

Actually, the moment Xing Baohua turned to look at her, Zou Wenjuan sensed that he wasn't well-intentioned. He was probably having inappropriate thoughts about her and regretting saying he wouldn't go on blind dates.

So I decisively refused, avoiding any of his ideas.

"Actually, I meant I'd give you the best sound system for free," Xing Baohua said, rubbing his nose.

"Heh, didn't we agree before that we wouldn't go on blind dates to start a relationship? Got it? Too late. I don't know you're trying to find an opportunity by being so attentive all of a sudden. Let me tell you, it's hopeless!"

Zou Wenjuan spoke with a cold smile on her face, and Xing Baohua found that cold smile quite attractive.

"My only request for the speaker is that you record two songs for me. Of course, not here, but in a professional recording studio on a professional tape. The sound quality and effects will be much better than your kind of recorder."

After Xing Baohua finished speaking, she looked at the other person.

"Such a good thing? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Don't worry, I'm not one to lie, I'm just good at bluffing. Your singing voice is beautiful, I really enjoy listening to it. I'll find you a recording studio, all the expenses are mine, and I'll even give you a good sound system," Xing Baohua said.

"Tch, even if you're just kidding, it's still a lie. You wouldn't be recording a song with my voice to sell it, would you? If you are, you'd get a share of the profits." Zou Wenjuan's words almost made Xing Baohua laugh.

I was just looking for a burlap sack when this girl tried to crawl into it.

"Sure, you can split it 50/50 if you prefer, but we'll need to sign a contract to ensure fairness," Xing Baohua thought to himself with a smile.

"real?"

"We signed a contract in black and white, would I dare to lie to you? If I did, I'd be facing a lawsuit!"

Xing Baohua continued to bluff, "As long as this girl signs a contract, hehe, I'll squeeze you dry!"

Seeing that Zou Wenjuan hesitated, Xing Baohua said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere, we'll be right back."

As he spoke, he grabbed Zou Wenjuan's arm, then suddenly remembered something and went to the cassette tape area, opened the cassette tray, and took out the cassette tape.

Just now, Zou Wenjuan, who had been grabbed, said unhappily, "Where are you going? Explain yourself! It's almost evening, and I usually don't go out or go dancing or anything like that."

"I don't have the mind to dance! I'll take you to see world-class sound systems and professional equipment, and you'll know I'm not lying to you. I really want your voice. Don't worry, I'm not interested in your body, really."

"Vulgar." Upon hearing those words, Zou Wenjuan's expression changed slightly as she spoke.

"I have a boyfriend, really." He tried his best to explain, hoping to dispel any thoughts that Zou Wenjuan might have about him.

Seeing Zou Wenjuan hesitate for a moment, Xing Baohua pulled her arm to go out. This time, Zou Wenjuan didn't resist and went out with her.

Mr. and Mrs. Zou were busy picking vegetables. Although the groom hadn't brought anything home, they still had to provide food! Mr. Zou was peeling potatoes when he saw the two of them leave and said to Mrs. Zou, "What's going on with these two? They went out again without saying a word. Are they going to eat or not?"

Xing Baohua led the mountain village's Ziwei Princess straight to Shanggu Village.

Liu Quan and Lin Daorong were both working overtime to produce audio equipment. When they saw Xing Baohua bring over an even prettier girl, they were slightly surprised and remarked that the guy was quite popular with women.

"Jishan, plug in the equipment and give it a go?" Xing Baohua shouted as he entered the workshop.

Actually, we don't need Niu Jishan's equipment; there's already one being tested.

Lin Daorong was adjusting the data with a sound level meter in hand. When he saw Xing Baohua, he said, "Listen to this one, what song do you want to play?"

"Let's just play it casually for now and let her hear it." When Xing Baohua said this, everyone else thought it was a customer. So they adjusted it to the best settings for a test listen.

Xing Baohua said to Zou Wenjuan, who was a little dumbfounded, "These devices are all exported to the United States. Why don't you go and listen to the effects first? I need to say something to Teacher Lin first."

Xing Baohua pulled Lin Daorong aside and asked, "Is the recording studio over there ready yet?"

"It's all set up, but the recording equipment isn't very good. It's very noisy and not suitable for recording. I'm still waiting for you to install new equipment." As soon as Lin Daorong said this, Xing Baohua knew that he couldn't take Zou Wenjuan to the recording studio tonight to test the recording studio's effects.

After listening to a few songs, the girl didn't know what to say. Is this what world-class audio equipment is like?

Xing Baohua put in the tape she had recorded, turned up the volume slightly, and raised the bass and lowered the treble.

This creates a kind of counterbalancing effect in the sound. Unfortunately, the recording equipment used for this cassette tape is not very effective at noise reduction. Simply adjusting the noise reduction on the audio amplifier will have some effect, but the noise will still be noticeable.

To be honest, the quality of these self-recorded tapes is not as good as the mass-produced copy tapes from the factory.

"Is this the speaker you said costs at least three thousand yuan?" Zou Wenjuan asked, frowning as she did so. Even so, she looked strangely good.

"No, ten thousand US dollars. That's less than thirty thousand Chinese yuan," Xing Baohua said, trying to dampen her spirits.
