Li Jinqiu looked at his son, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This kid is thoughtful.

When he opened the trunk, Li Jinqiu was startled.

It was filled with all kinds of gift boxes, including nutritional supplements for the elderly, cigarettes, alcohol, and tea for my dad, as well as a dozen shopping bags. There was almost no room for more.

Li Jinqiu stared at his son with eyes wide open.

Chen Fan smiled and explained, "It's not easy to come here, I can't go back empty-handed."

"Let Lao Feng take these things back for you. When I was in the hospital a few days ago, my aunt and uncle came all the way here and gave me money as a token of their appreciation. We can't help but show some appreciation."

"Mom, after you bring these things back, you can discuss with my dad to see what gifts are appropriate for each family."

Li Jinqiu looked at his son with a look of relief.

My son has really grown up.

"Well, it cost you a lot of money."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Mom, that's right. Why do you want to make money? It's just to make you two live a more comfortable life."

After hearing this, Li Jinqiu's eyes turned red and tears almost came out.

"You are alone, you should pay attention to your health and take care of yourself. Don't always skip breakfast. Don't always eat fast food."

"Also... don't turn on the air conditioner at home all the time, it's bad for your health. The weather will get colder soon, remember to wear long sleeves..."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I don't want a child anymore."

Li Jinqiu glared at him and said, "Even if you grow up to be sixty years old, in my eyes, you are still a child."

"Okay. I'm leaving now. Remember to come back and see your dad when you have time. Although I won't say it, I really want you to come back."

"Since you started making money, your dad has become very popular in the village. He always likes to go out and play cards and chess with everyone when he has nothing to do..."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll take your daughter-in-law back with me in a few days when she's on vacation!"

"Ruochu is such a good kid. He goes to school so far away. I don't know if he eats well..."

Seeing his mother start to nag, Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly pushed his mother to the car.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will remind her to eat well."

"Drive slowly on the old road. You can stay in Los Angeles for a day and come back tomorrow."

Chen Fan waved his hand and watched the car leave. Then he walked out with his crutches, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the rehearsal room.

After a few days of running-in, the band members have become more and more in tune with each other.

"I think it's totally fine for me to go on stage at my current level."

Chen Fan mentioned this during the break.

Yan Qing nodded in agreement.

Chen Fan remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I never asked you, what stage are you talking about?"

Yan Qing was happy.

"You've released so many hit songs. You don't pay attention to entertainment news at all."

"F.I.R. will have a concert in the provincial capital next month. We can go on stage as guest singers."

Chen Fan glared at him and said, "Guest singer at the concert? You guys can even get connections for that?"

Chen Fan laughed as soon as he finished speaking.

I almost forgot Yan Qing's identity.

With her background, it shouldn't be difficult to get a spot as a singing guest.

Yan Qing smiled and explained: "The publicity and promotion company for our band's concert in the provincial capital this time was run by a buddy of mine."

Chen Fan felt a little emotional.

F.I.R. This band released the song "Our Love" in 2004, and this song made the band famous.

Unfortunately, the band reached its peak right after their debut, and F.I.R. never surpassed that peak. In addition, they also experienced a band change incident, which led to the band's fame becoming less and less, and eventually almost disappeared.

But now in 2004, when F.I.R. is at its peak, being able to be a guest singer at their concerts is indeed a good channel.

The two were chatting when Nalan Wan'er suddenly came over.

Seeing that the girl looked a little unnatural, Chen Fan took the initiative to speak.

"What's up?"

Nalan Wan'er's expression was awkward: "There is something..."

"Well... our band is about to go on stage to perform, and the copyrights for two songs have not yet been registered..."

Chen Fan was stunned: "You haven't registered yet?"

Nalan Wan'er whispered, "I want to ask you, do you plan to apply for registration of these two songs in your own name or in the name of our band?"

Chen Fan: "Didn't I say that these two songs were written for you?"

Then he glanced at Yan Qing and said, "Don't you want the band to be famous? If so, of course you have to apply for registration in the name of the band."

Yan Qing was also a little embarrassed: "Think carefully, both songs are good songs. If we use the name of the band, all the honors will be taken away by us."

Chen Fan was amused: "I originally said that I wrote it for you guys."

"Besides, I'm already taking a big risk by going on stage, there's no need for me to continue to be in the spotlight."

Seeing Chen Fan speak so frankly, Nalan Wan'er felt even more embarrassed.

"These two songs can be our band's masterpieces, but the lyrics and arrangements must be individual..."

Chen Fan said casually: "This is easy. Don't you want to show your face? Your name is written as the author of both songs."

Nalan Wan'er's eyes widened: "You...you really don't want the right to be credited?"

Chen Fan said: "I prefer to be a quiet handsome man."

Nalan Wan'er's eyes sparkled, and the more she looked at Chen Fan, the more she liked him.

Yan Qing said with a smile: "I can't take your work for free. So, I'll buy it and regard it as the work of the band."

Chen Fan frowned: "Is it unnecessary?"

Yan Qing looked serious.

"Even brothers should settle accounts clearly."

He took out a card from his pocket.

"There's more than 50,000 on it, the winnings from the last race."

"Actually, I should have given it to you a long time ago, but later you were hospitalized."

"Last time we won thanks to your performance, so I'll give you all this money. Just consider it as the cost of purchasing the copyright of your song."

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Are you serious?"

Yan Qing nodded very seriously.

"I can give up the money, but I must not lose the noodles."

"If I hadn't saved you last time, I would have lost face. So this money is what you deserve."

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't know what to do, Nalan Wan'er simply snatched the bank card and stuffed it into Chen Fan's arms.

"Just take it if I give it to you. Do you think I'm short of money?"

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Then I won't be polite."

Yan Qing chuckled: "You'd better not be polite to me. I'm still waiting for your leg to heal, and then you can accompany me for a round."

Looking at the card in his pocket, Chen Fan felt a little emotional.

In the eyes of people with strong backgrounds like Yanqing and Nalan Wan'er, 50,000 is probably no different from 5 yuan.

Just by accompanying them on stage to perform once, I got 50,000 yuan for nothing.

This transaction was not a bad one at all.

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh and joked, "I just like to be friends with people like you."

Yan Qing laughed.

Nalan Wan'er whispered, "Chen Fan, we are friends too. If I ask you to write a song for me in the future, you must not refuse."

Chen Fan smiled and shook the card in his pocket.

"If you are as generous as me in the future, I will write as many songs as you want."

Nalan Wan'er rolled her eyes: "Humph! I see you are obsessed with money."

They laughed a lot, and their relationship obviously improved.

Just as I was about to put away my bank card, my phone rang.

Chen Fan took it out and saw that it was Ma Xiaoshuai calling.

He raised his head and greeted Yan Qing.

"That's ok, I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to a few people and coming out of the rehearsal room, Chen Fan pressed the answer button.

"Brother Jie went to beat up Li Jiao's old boyfriend."

Ma Xiaoshuai's first sentence made Chen Fan stunned.
