Chapter 34 The Sound of Fire
Song Li didn't show up at the company for three consecutive days, and He Qian didn't go back to Ciyun Pavilion. For the first time, he hoped that Song Li could "disappear" for a longer time so that she could stay in the Shu family for a few more days.
Even if no one cares about him or sees him, he remains neither anxious nor flustered.
"Tell the person who goes to Aunt Zhen to get the medicine to deliver it to the Shu family's villa in the next few days." He Qian didn't want Song Li to stop taking the medicine for her loss of taste for too long. She should be in good spirits after three days.
Yang Xiao didn't react for a moment. His mind raced, but he still couldn't figure out what he was referring to.
"Is it Xiaolu who has been going to the old house to get Chinese medicine for Song Li these past three months? Ask him to get an extra portion and send it to the Shu family?"
He Qian flipped through his phone aimlessly, not knowing why he was browsing back and forth. "Song Li is at Shu Mingjin's house."
Yang Xiao suddenly realized why Xiaolu had been asking him how long Song Li was away and when she would be back. He had simply assumed she was at Ciyun Pavilion and not at the company... Huh? Why was Song Li living at the Shu family's house?
He Qian didn't respond for a long time, so he looked up at him. Did he want him to repeat it again?
Yang Xiao then realized that he had forgotten to answer, "Okay, Mr. He, I'll notify him right away!"
"Wait!" He Qian stopped him, "You should go."
He was worried that Xiaolu wasn't smart enough to see Song Li. Even if he could just send a message back, that way he wouldn't be deprived of spiritual nourishment.
Yang Xiao understood immediately, agreed to his suggestion and went out.
He Qian sat quietly in the office again. It turned out that Song Li had been taking the medicine for three months... It was obvious that it had no effect. What should he do next so that she could accept the treatment without any psychological burden?
After Yang Xiao left, he did not forget to send a message to remind him: he had to go to "Xingyun Music" at 9:30 to accompany Yu Qingqing to record songs.
Xingyun Music is one of the world's top original record companies. Each of Yu Qingqing's albums is produced, distributed and published by this company.
Today is the day when Yu Qingqing records the title song of this album. She begged He Qian to come to the scene to accompany her, but He Qian kept saying that he was busy. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by He Shuxing, so he asked Yang Xiao to arrange this schedule.
It was already ten o'clock when He Qian arrived at Xingyun Music. The staff, who were used to seeing big stars, suddenly saw He Qian in person and couldn't help but yell...
Yu Qingqing had been showing off beforehand, and had specifically instructed her assistant He Jiayun to come out and wait. "Mr. He, Qingqing has already entered the recording studio. Please go to the reception room and sit for a while. I'll make you a cup of coffee."
"No need, I'll go in and see her." He Qian thought that just a meeting would be enough, at least he had to let Yu Qingqing see him.
He Jiayun took him to the recording studio. After opening the door, the light in the room was dim. When several staff members saw He Qian come in, they paused for a few seconds before taking off their headphones.
"Mr. He!"
Yu Qingqing was in the vocal recording studio and saw him. She took off her headphones and trotted out, "Ah Qian!"
"You guys continue, don't worry about me." He Qian found a chair behind the console and sat down.
Yu Qingqing was so surprised and delighted that he actually came to record a song with her! Ever since they'd been together, he'd been so indifferent. After the car accident, he'd sold the jewelry, and she'd thought he truly loved her, but he hadn't asked her out since! He hadn't promised to come today, but he showed up anyway! Everyone in the company should have seen it by now!
"Then wait for me, I'll be quick! Jiayun, please make me a cup of coffee for Aqian." Yu Qingqing said and walked inside.
"Okay." He Jiayun went out.
Order was restored in the entire recording studio. Everyone put on headphones and continued recording. Yu Qingqing in the glass booth was obviously not as focused as before, although the smile on her face was brighter.
The sound engineer stopped several times to give instructions and make adjustments, and started over several times.
He Qian sat behind the mixing console, not paying attention to their every move. He silently rubbed his phone, opening it from time to time to check, but there were no messages or calls, not from Song Li, not from Yang Xiao...
Yu Qingqing has good singing skills. Even though she made a few misjudgments in terms of rhythm due to He Qian's arrival, she was able to successfully complete the recording in the end.
As soon as it was over, she rushed out: "Ah Qian, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Can you listen to the clip they'll cut for me later?"
"Next time." He Qian put away his phone and stood up. "I have something else to do at the company. I'll go back first."
"How about I listen to my audition yesterday? It's a little off!" Yu Qingqing was very confident in her singing skills. She grabbed He Qian's arm and pulled him away. "Come on, come on. It's good to listen to a few of your songs and give me some advice."
He Qian was dragged to Yu Qingqing's lounge, and the speakers started playing the "demo tape"...
The song is titled "Rebirth from the Ashes" and is the title song of Yu Qingqing's new album this year, which will be released soon.
He Qian had been absent-minded and hadn't listened carefully. Suddenly, at the third minute of the song, a special sound began to emit, stimulating his body's instinctive conditioned reflex -
It is not difficult to tell that the background of the song is a scene of a fire. There is no picture, but it is enough to bring out the immersive feeling!
The sound of the burning fire in the background music is not very obvious. It is an extremely subtle sound material. Normally, it will not cover the accompaniment of instruments and singing voices, but He Qian has been listening to the sound of the fire for thirteen years!
It was exactly the same sound as the one in Qin Xiang’s message before her death—the sound of fire burning in the laboratory!
Over the past thirteen years, in order to erase his sympathy for Song Li, he forced himself to listen to Qin Xiang's message over and over again! So he could clearly tell which sentence in the recording had paused for a few seconds, which two words had a few tenths of a second interval, and what kind of noise was there in those few tenths of a second without having to think too much!
He couldn't have heard it wrong! The scene of the fire in Yu Qingqing's song and the sound were exactly the same as Qin Xiang's message!
Why? Why is it the same?
Yu Qingqing saw that he suddenly became serious and his expression became more and more solemn. She didn't understand why. "A Qian, what's wrong with you?"
He Qian's memories were overlapping. Qin Xiang's message was exactly the same as the voice echoing in his ears!
Yu Qingqing turned off the speakers and moved closer to him. "Is there anything wrong?"
He Qian's thoughts were withdrawn as the song faded away. "Who is the producer?"
Yu Qingqing was startled by his scolding voice, and her eyes were as sharp as a bloody knife!
"Who is it! Who arranged this song? Is it you or someone else? I want to know all the information!" He Qian's emotions were a little out of control. This was a worry that had accumulated in his heart for thirteen years!
Yu Qingqing was completely confused, and she felt nervous and scared. It seemed like he was going to eat her alive!
He Qian walked to the front of the speaker, pulled out the USB drive from the player, and looked at it sharply, "Is it in here? Is the song just now in here?"
"Yes... yes..." Yu Qingqing felt uneasy. He looked as if he was going to go crazy in the next second.
At this moment, He Qian's phone rang. It was Yang Xiao who called: "Mr. He, someone from the Shu family said that Song Li was sent to the hospital!"
He Qian was stunned for a moment, his throat tightening, "Which hospital?"
"Central Hospital, I'm on my way there now!"
He Qian hung up the phone and almost ran away, but then stopped and said to Yu Qingqing, "You must give me a copy of the complete post-production recording today! Also, I must meet with the arranger and producer today!"
Yu Qingqing felt uneasy when she saw his vicious eyes, and his sudden change of attitude made her unable to react for a while!
After He Qian rushed to the hospital to meet Yang Xiao, he realized that he had made a mistake!
It was Shu Mingjin who had a stomachache early in the morning and was about to give birth, so she was sent to the hospital, not Song Li!
When Yang Xiao lowered his head and waited to be criticized, He Qian didn't even say a word of blame, "That's good."
"I just met Chairman Zhao at the door of the delivery room. He said that Song Li insisted on leaving after waking up this morning. From what he said...it seems that Song Li's body is not fully recovered yet, and Mrs. Zhao doesn't want her to leave. Because of this, Mrs. Zhao was overwhelmed and sent her to the hospital."
Perhaps He Qian should have reflected on why Zhao Gengnian and Shu Mingjin always defended Song Li!
"Mr. He?" Yang Xiao called him, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He Qian pulled out the USB drive he had taken from Yu Qingqing from his pocket and said, "Make a few copies. Contact Yu Qingqing immediately and ask her for all the information about the cast of this song!"
He couldn't wait to deal with this matter!
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Yang Xiao took the USB flash drive. Could it be that he really spent the morning listening to Yu Qingqing singing?
"Give me the car keys, I'll go back to Ciyun Pavilion, and you and Zhang Ji's car will go to Xingyun Music!" What He Qian wanted most now was to see Song Li.
Zhang Ji is He Qian's driver. He is the one who picks up and drops off He Qian when Yang Xiao is not accompanying him.
