"Smack..."
Liu Yifei escorted Su Zhengnan all the way to the villa entrance, smiled and kissed him on the cheek, then turned around and happily walked back.
Su Zhengnan smiled, started the car, and sped off towards home.
Not long after Su Zhengnan left.
A music producer who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music came to Liu Yifei's home. He was called by Liu Xiaoli. His name was Zhang Shuai. He had a square face, a goatee, and was dressed like a typical artist.
Laymen don't know much about Liu Shuai, the music producer, nor do they know his talent.
But those in the know understand that he is a very influential music producer in Beijing, and he was the lyricist and composer of the theme song "Snowflakes" for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.
When Zhang Shuai arrived at Liu Yifei's home, he saw the lyrics and sheet music for the original songs left behind by Su Zhengnan.
He was immediately awestruck, muttering to himself:
"These songs... these songs are simply classics!"
"The melody...the lyrics...the imagery, it's simply perfect!"
Zhang Shuai excitedly held the musical score, examining it repeatedly and muttering to himself as if he were possessed.
Seeing the other person's amazed expression, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but ask:
Are these songs really as good as you say?
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoli's question, Zhang Shuai abruptly raised his head, his gaze burning with intensity, and said:
"Sister Liu, you don't know anything about this!"
"These songs are all considered high-quality, both from a professional musical perspective and from a market acceptance standpoint!"
"Take these lyrics for example. Every line is full of stories and emotions, as if it can take people into a whole new world. The melody is also ingenious, and the skill is evident in the transitions between the beginning and the end."
Liu Xiaoli was taken aback by what he said, nodded as if she understood, and asked:
"So if you're saying that, these songs would definitely be a huge hit if they were made?"
"It's going to be a huge hit!"
Zhang Shuai replied with certainty, then asked, "Sister Liu, can you tell me who wrote these songs?"
"Why not? These songs were written by one of my daughter's friends."
Liu Xiaoli smiled happily, and she finally believed that Su Zhengnan could really write songs and that he wasn't just fooling her before.
If that's the case...
These songs are naturally meant for my daughter to sing, so it's best to produce them as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli smiled and said to Zhang Shuai, "Since you think these songs are bound to be a hit, then I'd like to trouble you to help my daughter record this album. Is that alright?"
"Sister Liu, do you mean you want me to produce these songs?"
Zhang Shuai was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some surprise, "What about the copyright of these songs? If they don't have the copyright, it doesn't seem right to produce and distribute them directly, does it?"
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's definitely no problem with the copyright. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to produce an album for my daughter, right?"
"If there are no copyright issues, then I have no problem either."
Zhang Shuai readily agreed, since it was just recording an album and he didn't need to compose or arrange the music himself.
If it's just recording songs, that's child's play!
"Thank you, Xiao Zhang. I'll have Qianqian come down and talk to you about the song recording."
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said something, then called Liu Yifei over and asked her to talk to Zhang Shuai about recording the album.
As for herself....
Liu Xiaoli smiled and walked to a secluded spot, took out her phone and called Su Zhengnan.
Ring ring!
Su Zhengnan, who had just returned home, glanced at the caller ID and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Aunt Liu, is there anything else?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask you, were those original songs you wrote before really given to Xixi?"
Liu Xiaoli smiled and asked directly.
Oh, so that's why you called!
Su Zhengnan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Auntie, you want to ask about the copyright of those songs, right? You can rest assured about that. I said it was a gift for Xixi, and it was a gift for Xixi. Xixi can do whatever she wants with the copyright of those songs."
It was just a few copied songs, and Su Zhengnan didn't take it seriously at all.
Even if Liu Yifei gets the copyright to all these songs, he can still copy other songs in the future.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli said happily, "Then thank you very much. Please forgive me if I was not hospitable enough at lunchtime!"
In the blink of an eye, Liu Xiaoli's way of addressing Su Zhengnan changed from "Dr. Su" to "Little Su".
This also means that she has indeed begun to accept Su Zhengnan as her future son-in-law.
As the saying goes, a mother-in-law finds her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye the more she looks at him.
Moreover, Su Zhengnan can also help his daughter in her career.
Because Liu Xiaoli's mindset changed very quickly.
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I originally wrote those songs for Qianqian, so you don't need to worry about copyright issues."
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved to hear you say that."
Liu Xiaoli nodded with a warm, aunt-like smile.
After a few more words, Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone.
Su Zhengnan put away his phone, chuckled, and shook his head. He really didn't care about the copyright of those songs; Liu Xiaoli was just overthinking it.
It was almost 3 p.m. at this moment.
After returning home and resting for a while, Su Zhengnan went out to buy some groceries, planning to cook himself a meal to fill his stomach that evening.
It's been quite a while since he cooked for himself.
Their cooking skills have probably become a bit rusty.
After buying groceries and returning home, Su Zhengnan went to the kitchen, tied on an apron, picked up a cleaver, and started cooking with a clattering sound.
A braised pork belly, a bitter melon stir-fried with eggs, a tomato and pork gravy soup...
This is Su Zhengnan's dinner for today. Fortunately, his cooking skills haven't deteriorated, and the dishes he made are still acceptable.
After finishing his meal alone, Su Zhengnan tidied up the table briefly, then went to the living room and turned on the TV to relax.
Ring ring!
It was at this moment.
His phone rang again.
Su Zhengnan picked up his phone and saw that it was his second senior brother, Mo Chaoyang, calling. He couldn't help but press the answer button.
"Hey, Second Brother, what's up with calling at this hour?"
"What, can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
Mo Chaoyang jokingly feigned anger.
Su Zhengnan quickly laughed and said, "How could that be? Second Senior Brother, you're joking. I was just curious what you wanted to call at this hour."
Mo Chaoyang chuckled and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I was just thinking that since you're about to start your summer vacation, I was wondering if you'd be interested in coming over and tutoring some students for me?"
"Take on students? What do you mean by that, Second Senior Brother?"
Su Zhengnan felt he didn't quite understand.
Mo Chaoyang explained, "Our college has a group of outstanding TCM clinical students who will be doing their internships in the second half of the year. The school is worried that they don't have enough clinical experience, so we specially planned to find teachers to mentor them during the two months of summer vacation."
"Of course, there are many students in our batch, and quite a few have been assigned to various hospitals, but there are still a few students who have not been accepted by any teachers."
"So I was thinking, since you don't have anything to do during the summer vacation, why don't you come and help me take care of them?"
Upon hearing what the second senior brother said...
Su Zhengnan was slightly taken aback, and said with some surprise:
"But my school clinic can't have anyone on clinical duty. Not only do we only see a few patients a day, but we also have to close down during the summer vacation!"
"Hehe, I thought of that a long time ago. You can just take the students to the outpatient clinic of the hospital where Lao Wu works."
Mo Chaoyang said with a smile.
"Well....."
Su Zhengnan thought for a moment and replied, "If there are no problems with Fifth Senior Brother, then I can take a few students to clinical practice. However, there can't be too many students, otherwise I won't be able to manage them all."
Mo Chaoyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are only three students, not many!"
"Well... okay, fine then, anyway I don't have anything to do during the summer vacation."
Su Zhengnan finally agreed. Anyway, he was free during the summer vacation, so he might as well help his senior brother with this favor.
As for Liu Yifei's side...
I guess I'll have to start filming when summer vacation begins, so I won't have much time to spend with him.
Otherwise, he would have already made plans with Liu Yifei to travel during the summer vacation.
