When the German team defeated the Czech Republic 2-1 to win the 1996 European Cup, Liang Liang and his entourage also disembarked at the Capital Airport in China.
After getting off the plane, the Black Panther Band went home, while the Night Sky Band returned to Shucun.
Liang Liang and his group stayed overnight at a hotel near the airport and took a flight back to Lianwan the next morning.
After a day of rest in Lianwan, the first thing Liang Liang needed to do was to deal with the issue of the Sea Waves band.
Zhang Hua, Lan Zhi, and Ming Hongling will be leaving the band from now on.
Liang Liang called the three of them to his office and gave each of them a check for 300,000 yuan.
The three girls were dumbfounded when they saw the number on the check.
"When I left that small mountain village, you were the first people I met. Now that you are leaving too, I feel a little sad. This little bit of money is a token of my appreciation, a dowry for you. I wish you happiness, a long and fulfilling marriage, and many children!"
Liang Liang's words of blessing left them both amused and exasperated. He was already expecting a child before even getting married?
"If you don't have a good life in the future, come find me. I can't guarantee you'll get rich, but you'll have enough to eat. The shipping company's doors are always open for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three women became emotional and burst into tears.
"Come visit here often when you have time, since your home is only 200 li away."
Before leaving, Ming Hongling gave Liang Liang a tight hug and then said something.
These words left Liang Liang frozen in place.
"Treat them both well! They are both good girls, but I don't understand how you plan to deal with them in the future."
After saying this, Ming Hongling gave a meaningful smile, turned around and left gracefully.
Liang Liang was still in a daze even after the three women left.
The two women Ming Hongling was referring to were naturally Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao.
What did she mean by that? Was she trying to scare him, or did she already know the truth and was just trying to remind him?
What she thought was a secret was actually known to Ming Fengling.
If she's the only one who knows, there's not much to worry about; Ming Hongling's words are generally reassuring.
But is there anyone else besides him who knows?
And how did she find out? Apart from Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao accidentally letting it out, Liang Liang couldn't think of any other way it could have been leaked.
These two gossipy women really need to be disciplined. How could they let something like this get out in public? Are they planning to climb on the roof and tear off the tiles?
The three members of Minghongling have left, but the Sea Waves Band will continue.
"You two! Come here!"
After bidding a tearful farewell to Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao, Ming Hongling and the other two left the Haiyun Music School compound.
Liang Liang stood on the railing in front of his office and shouted to Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao.
"The three of them have gone home to get married and have children. What are you going to do about it?"
Liang Liang originally wanted to ask Ming Hongling how he knew about their relationship, but considering that it was summer and the windows were open, he didn't bring up the topic of having eavesdroppers.
Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao exchanged a glance: "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"You two usually like to jump around and do some really difficult moves. I mean... what are you two laughing at?"
Liang Liang reviewed what he had just said, and realized the problem lay in his statement about the "highly difficult move".
Those two girls must have misunderstood.
"Don't laugh! Be serious! I'm planning to send you two to Teacher Zhao's girls' dance class, but you'll learn modern dance from me for half a year. Then I'll form a girl group with you. What do you think?"
Liang Liang had mentioned this to them a few days ago, so Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao weren't surprised.
"I also plan to combine the Hanmei group with you guys and turn the four of you into a super girl group that can sing, dance, and accompany themselves."
The four of them together can sing, dance, and play instruments—they're a super all-around girl group.
"So, which name should we use then?"
"Of course I'll use Ocean Wave. It's a long-established and well-known brand."
"But Hanmei is a good brand too, and their album achieved phenomenal sales."
The album "My Heart Will Go On" by the Hanmei duo has sold over ten million copies, and the name Hanmei has become well-known.
"Hanmei is just a homophone of one character each from Xu Mei and Lin Hanrui's names. If you two are combined, the Hanmei combination will naturally cease to exist. Tomorrow you will come to the music school's dance class to learn modern dance. You must learn it."
"What if you can't learn it?" Xiao Yao asked with a grin.
"If you can't learn it, I'll throw you off this building. Alright! Go get ready."
Xiaoqian and Xiaoyao seemed to want to say something, but Liang Liang quietly pointed to the window.
The two idiots swallowed back what they were about to say, then left arm in arm.
Xu Mei and Lin Hanrui had no objection to Liang Liang's suggestion that they join Xiao Qian and Xiao Yao to form a new group called "Sea Waves".
Or perhaps Xu Mei had no objection; Xu Mei has a rather straightforward personality and doesn't think about such roundabout things.
Lin Hanrui had some ideas.
Splitting money between two people is absolutely not the same as splitting money between four people.
She just didn't dare to say it.
The next morning, Liang Liang sent the four girls to his gold-digging wife Zhao Ping's dance class to learn.
I also went to Taojin's class and discussed the album with him.
There were four songs in the original "Gold Rush" song, and Liang Liang wrote four more for him.
There are currently eight songs.
Eight songs in one album is obviously too few.
Liang Liang listened to the four songs that Tao Jin had, including "Hearing the Rooster Crow and Getting Up" and "The Fiery Year", but surprisingly, "Jump Up", which had been performed on the Spring Festival Gala in 1989, was not among them.
"Why isn't that song about jumping around?"
"That song isn't mine. It has lyrics by Wang Xiaomao and music by Li Haiying. It belongs to someone else!"
"But nobody sings this song!"
After appearing once in the movie "Rock Youth" and once in the 1989 Spring Festival Gala, this song basically disappeared and no one sang it anymore.
"Just because no one is singing doesn't mean I'm yours, right?"
Liang Liang nodded: "That's easy!"
Liang Liang took out his phone and made a call.
"Go to Pacific and contact Li Haiying to buy the song 'Jump Up.' How much? Ten thousand first, fifteen thousand if that's not enough, but no more than twenty thousand."
Li Haiying is considered a big name in the domestic songwriting industry, and his songs are worthy of this price.
If successful, that will make nine songs. Liang Liang can write two more tonight.
"In a couple of days, once the music is all set, I'll send a few people over to help you practice. Then we'll sample and record, and it should be ready for release soon."
I was quite excited about the gold rush.
Although he is not a professional singer, the idea of releasing an album is still deeply rooted in his heart, and it has been a long-cherished wish for many years.
This wish is finally about to come true.
