Chapter 294, Part 294
294:
Ye Qingxi: ...What do you mean by "just happened to fall for him"?
He spoke as if he liked his senior brother Wen.
Okay, he does like his senior brother Wen, but not in the way that he "falls for him"!
Ye Qingxi said helplessly, "It's not that I've taken a liking to him, it's that our music director has taken a liking to him."
Lu Mian, "Then why didn't you recommend me to your music director? Didn't you tell him you have a junior brother?"
Ye Qingxi: "I only made a movie with my dad."
Lu Mian: ...
Looking at his young face, Lu Mian thought to himself, "That makes sense. What can a little actress like Ye Qingxi possibly do?"
Sigh, Wen Chong really got off easy.
"Next time you make a movie, ask me to sing the theme song," he offered.
Ye Qingxi thought to herself, who knows when he'll do it again?
However, he was still quite happy inside.
Lu Mian is a prince of the music scene. Many people wanted to ask him to sing theme songs, but he refused. However, when it came to him, he actually took the initiative to ask him to sing. This can only be because he likes his junior brother and is willing to give him special treatment.
Ye Qingxi was not an ungrateful person; in fact, she was quite tactful, cherished the opportunity, and was very grateful.
"Okay." He nodded. "Don't worry, junior brother. Next time I'm filming a movie, I'll definitely tell the director as soon as I get to the set that my junior brother sings really well. Do you want to invite him to sing the theme song for us?"
Lu Mian was satisfied.
"Good girl." He pinched Ye Qingxi's little face.
"I was wondering where Xiaoxi went. Turns out she's here with you." As the two were talking, Shali walked over.
“Come here, Xiao Xi.” Sha Li pulled his hand. “Go with your second senior sister. She has a gift for you.”
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Another gift?
Ye Qingxi couldn't help but remind her, "Second Senior Sister, you've already given me so many gifts."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Shali became unhappy.
"I give you one, you give me one back, I give you one, you give me another one back, it makes me feel no sense of being an elder."
Ye Qingxi: ...But he can't just take it all and not take it back.
Lu Mian quickly came over, "Senior sister, if you're seeing me off, I definitely won't go back!"
Shali showed no mercy: "Get out."
Lu Mian: ...What a difference in fate between fellow disciples!
Senior sister, you're so biased!
After staying at Kang Lao's house for a while, it was almost ten o'clock when Mu Shaowu came to pick them up.
Ye Qingxi said goodbye to her senior brothers, sisters, and master before leaving the Kang family home with Mu Shaowu.
"Dad, I told my senior brother, and he agreed," Ye Qingxi said to Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaowu was delighted, "That's great, the music director will definitely be very happy to know."
"Uncle Feng will definitely be very happy to know."
Mu Shaowu: ...Probably.
"Do you want to call and tell him?" Ye Qingxi asked him.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
"This is something you did successfully, so naturally you should go and talk to him about it."
What did he say to Feng Que?
What if Feng Que thinks that he did it, or that he urged Ye Qingxi to do it, and thus misunderstands his attitude? That would be bad.
"Should I call him when I get in the car?"
"Sure," Mu Shaowu said without objection.
After getting into the car, Ye Qingxi turned on her smartwatch and called Feng Que.
Feng Que was busy with the post-production of the movie. When he saw that it was Ye Qingxi, he answered the phone and heard Ye Qingxi say, "Uncle Feng, Uncle Wen Chong has agreed to sing the theme song for us."
Phoenix Palace: ? ? ?
"What did you say?" Feng Que exclaimed in surprise, "Wen Chong agreed to sing the theme song for us?!"
“Hmm.” Ye Qingxi leaned back in her chair. “So, Uncle Feng, could you ask the music director to talk to Uncle Wen’s manager again? He said he would agree this time.”
"No, you know Wen Chong?" Feng Que asked in confusion.
"Um."
"How do you know him?" Feng Que asked, then realized something. "Oh, your aunt is a singer; they're in the same circle."
No wonder the three of them had that kind of expression when he said he wanted Wen Chong to sing the theme song.
"Your aunt is quite popular," Feng Que remarked.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi lowered her head, "Although my aunt and Uncle Wen know each other, they are not actually very close."
"So he's actually willing to sing the theme song for us?"
Ye Qingxi: Because he's familiar with me!
"Uncle Feng, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else, okay?" Ye Qingxi said.
Feng Que replied without hesitation, "Of course."
“Normally I call Uncle Wen my senior brother; he’s my second senior brother,” Ye Qingxi said softly.
Phoenix Palace: !!!
Phoenix Palace is simply unbelievable!
"You and he are fellow disciples?! Then who is your master?!"
Do you know Kang Lao?
Of course he knows that!
A cornerstone figure in the Chinese music scene, his songs are classics, some are included in textbooks, some are passed down by word of mouth, and some have started an era and a trend. It can be said that when talking about the development of the Chinese music scene, one cannot do without this old man.
He's actually Ye Qingxi's teacher?!
"I remember he stopped taking on apprentices a long time ago, didn't he?"
“That’s how it was originally,” Ye Qingxi said.
"Then who are you?" Feng Que asked, even more puzzled.
Ye Qingxi: This is troublesome.
However, it's almost May Day now, and the World Championship is getting closer and closer, so even if he doesn't say it now, Feng Que will find out later.
Therefore, Ye Qingxi said, "I'll tell you, Uncle Feng, but you still shouldn't tell anyone else, okay?"
Feng Que: ? ? ? You have too many little secrets!
"Don't worry," Feng Que assured him.
"Great-grandfather can't either!"
“Okay,” Feng Que replied.
"Previously, when Master Kang and Director Xu were selecting a young singer for the opening ceremony of the World Championship, they chose me. So I went to Master Kang to train, and after training for a while, Master Kang took me on as his apprentice. So I am Senior Brother Wen's junior brother."
Phoenix Palace: !!!
"The World Championship?! The World Championship that was held this July?!"
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Phoenix Palace: ...
Feng Quejue is truly amazing!
Such a big thing, and he's such a young child, yet he actually managed to keep it a secret!
"So you'll be performing on stage then?"
"Yes," Ye Qingxi said, "during the opening ceremony."
Phoenix Palace: ...
How many more surprises does Uncle Feng not know about?!
If his grandfather found out, he'd probably fly the plane back immediately! Turn it into Ye Qingxi's support plane!
"Xiao Xi, it must have been hard for you to come down to earth to film here."
Ye Qingxi was amused by his words.
"So Uncle Feng, you must keep this a secret for me."
“Of course,” Feng Que said.
It's best to have as few people as possible who know about this kind of thing; otherwise, if too many people know, who knows what someone might do out of jealousy.
"Then you'll be rehearsing soon?" Feng Que asked, noting that it was almost May.
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Mm."
"You're really busy."
"That's right," Ye Qingxi thought to herself, "His schedule is quite full."
"If you need anything from your Uncle Feng, just give me a call anytime, and I'll be there whenever you need me," Feng Que said.
But he's amazing! He can make movies, sing, and act. That's incredible!
And he's only six years old!
The more I think about it, the more precious the Phoenix Palace seems.
With a son like that, it's no wonder Mu Shaowu doesn't want to date.
That's true.
If it were him, he'd probably be completely addicted to raising kids too!
"Okay." Ye Qingxi smiled.
After he finished talking about Wen Chong, he was about to hang up when Ye Qingxi turned to look at Mu Shaowu and asked, "Dad, what do you want to say to Uncle Feng?"
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Why did you ask him?!
Mu Shaowu looked at his son and said, "Tell him to keep this a secret and not to tell anyone else."
"Uncle Feng has already agreed to this, Dad, you can choose someone else."
"That's all."
Ye Qingxi: ...Okay.
"Then I'll hang up now, Uncle Feng."
“Okay,” Feng Que said.
Ye Qingxi then hung up the phone.
It wasn't until he got home that Mu Shaowu discovered that Feng Que had sent him a WeChat message.
He clicked on it and almost burst out laughing.
Feng Que: [You're worried our family won't want to raise only Xiao Xi? If my grandpa knew he was going to be on the world stage, I could take his surname, Ye!]
Feng Que: [This glory is also thanks to my grandfather; our Feng family has made something of itself!]
Mu Shaowu: [What does this have to do with your family? This is a matter for the Mu family.]
Feng Que: [Didn't my grandfather recognize Xiao Xi as his great-grandson? This is related to him, and naturally, it's related to our Feng family.]
Feng Que: [Besides, aren't I pursuing his handsome and outstanding father, hoping to become his stepfather?]
Mu Shaowu almost burst out laughing again.
Mu Shaowu: [Then you're really dreaming.]
Mu Shaowu: [Sleep well, Director Feng, anything can happen in your dreams.]
Mu Shaowu put away his phone and looked at his son with a smile on his lips.
Feng Que was very efficient; he received Ye Qingxi's call and immediately notified his music director.
The next day, the music director contacted Wen Chong's agent again.
The agent was about to refuse, but in the middle of the conversation, Wen Chong called.
"Hey bro, what's up?" the manager asked, puzzled.
"Keep an eye out for me. If a movie starring Mu Shaowu approaches you and wants me to sing the theme song, then you should just sign the contract."
Agent: ? ? ?
"Didn't you say before that it had nothing to do with you?"
Wen Chong: ...That's because he didn't know the other party was Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaowu's words do have some connection, after all, he is his junior brother's father.
"Anyway, that's the gist of it. Just keep an eye on it."
After saying that, Wen Chong hung up the phone.
Agent: ? ? ?
Over there, the music director was still politely saying, "I really think Ms. Wen's singing voice is very suitable for our movie. I've always liked Ms. Wen. Before, Ms. Wen..."
"Send the contract over, I'll take a look," the agent said.
Music Director: !!!
"Okay, okay."
The music director excitedly sent the contract over and immediately called Feng Que, saying, "It seems like there's definitely a chance. This time they directly asked me for the contract. Director Feng, you really have influence."
Feng Que felt that he really overestimated himself. "This is not about my face, it's about Xiao Xi's face."
"Xiao Xi? Xiao Xi knows Teacher Wen?" the music director exclaimed in surprise. "He has such a wide network of connections?"
Feng Que: ...Not only do we know each other, but we're also junior brothers!
Thinking about this, Feng Que felt that he was lucky.
On my first filming trip back in China, I encountered a genius actress like Ye Qingxi.
Unexpectedly, he was Wen Chong's junior brother, who directly helped him solve the theme song problem.
After he takes the stage at the World Championship, the whole world will know him. At that time, the biggest selling point of their movie might not be him or Mu Shaowu, but Ye Qingxi!
Then, thinking that Ye Qingxi took the initiative to find him, and even got a buy-one-get-one-free deal by bringing Mu Shaowu to the film crew, thus giving him the opportunity to get to know him, like him, and become his suitor (currently frozen and waiting to be unsealed), Feng Que felt that Ye Qingxi was his lucky star!
How could this not be his destined son?!
He couldn't help but feel that the three of them were a family destined for each other!
When Ye Qingxi heard from Feng Que that Wen Chong had agreed to sign the contract, she quickly sent another WeChat message to thank Wen Chong.
Wen Chong replied gently, "You're welcome. Next time something like this happens, just let me know beforehand."
Ye Qingxi: [Okay.]
However, if there really is a chance next time, let his junior brother go first, otherwise he's afraid his junior brother will ask him with a resentful look why he chose his second senior brother!
Sigh, sometimes having too many senior brothers can be quite a nuisance—but it's a happy kind of nuisance, Ye Qingxi thought to herself, resting her head on her hand, much like Versailles.
