Chapter 129: Wild Flowers Are Not as Fragrant as Domestic Flowers (Two in One)
Before Chu Ze knew how to answer, Xia Anruo's next sentence came right after:
"Is Song Ziqi's voice nice? Are her hands nice to touch?"
"No, what are you talking about?" Chu Ze was confused by Xia Anruo's classic combo.
She starts off with a tone of voice as if she caught her husband cheating. Do you know that it's very scary?
Even if Chu Ze had nothing to hide and was innocent, he would still be sweating profusely after being asked such questions.
"Don't play dumb, didn't you meet Song Ziqi?" Xia Anruo asked in a bad tone.
"What about this? We did meet, but she just asked me to buy a song. Why are you so jealous?" Chu Ze finally understood.
After all this time, are you jealous?
He didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.
She can get jealous of such a small thing... But at least this shows that Xia Anruo really cares about her.
"Why would I be jealous?" Xia Anruo refused to admit it, and continued to question Chu Ze to cover up for himself, "If I don't ask you, are you not going to tell me?"
"Do I need to report this to you? How did you know about this?" Chu Ze asked puzzledly.
"Song Ziqi is a junior who works in the same company as me, what do you think?" Xia Anruo said.
"You should have told me earlier, and I didn't agree to sell it to her. I thought I wouldn't tell you about this little thing." Chu Ze suddenly realized. He really didn't know that Song Ziqi and Xia Anruo were in the same company. After all, Xia Anruo didn't mention it.
"That's right. You didn't need to tell me. After all, who am I to you? I have no name or status, and you have no obligation to tell me." Xia Anruo suddenly sighed.
This tone can only be described as...
Great tea!
Get more!
"Can you speak properly?"
Chu Ze's fists hardened.
If it weren't for the phone call, I would have to taste your green tea.
"Are you still mean to me?" Xia Anruo said in a wronged tone, and she looked quite convincing.
"Don't! How dare I? You are a big star who is high above everyone else, and I am just an ordinary citizen. Who am I to you? How dare I be mean to you? If I were to be mean to you, you would just label me as a little sweet potato and I would be cyberbullied by so many people. I'm scared just thinking about it. I surrender." Seeing that Xia Anruo was not finished yet, Chu Ze also became sarcastic.
If you can't defeat them, join them and learn their skills to defeat them.
The end of uniform tea art is to play yin and yang.
"You..." Xia Anruo was choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. I'm just worried that you're busy, so I don't want to disturb you." Chu Ze explained.
"Hmph, who knows whether you don't want to or are unwilling to do so." Xia Anruo snorted.
She naturally knew that there was nothing between Chu Ze and Song Ziqi, but how could she miss such a good opportunity to tease Chu Ze.
Of course, the desire to tease is real, and the jealousy is also real.
Only Xia Anruo knows what proportion each of the two accounts for.
"She's not as pretty as you, why should I care?" Chu Ze was speechless.
"Don't they say that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers?" Xia Anruo said with a laugh.
"That's assuming Jiahua is tired of playing." Chu Ze rolled his eyes when he heard that.
I haven’t even played with domestic flowers, so how can I have the mind to play with wild flowers?
"?"
Xia Anruo slowly typed a question mark.
"And let alone anything else, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in my popularity with women even though I've been single for more than 50 years." Chu Zefeng said these extremely sad words calmly.
"More than fifty years?"
How old are you?
Aren’t you just twenty years old?
You look old at such a young age?
"Yes, I have been single since my last life." Chu Ze told the truth in a joking way.
"Then why didn't you find a girlfriend in your previous life? Don't you want to?" Xia Anruo asked in an aggressive tone.
"It is to keep the fate until I meet you in this life." Facing Xia Anruo's attack, Chu Ze easily defeated her with just a few words.
The unexpected love words made Xia Anruo silent for a long time. After a long while, a stuttering voice came over:
"You, what nonsense are you talking about..."
"I am telling the truth."
"Glib tongue!"
"You won't know if it's greasy or not until you come back and taste it."
"..."
Xia Anruo couldn't stand Chu Ze's teasing anymore, so she quickly changed the subject: "I'm telling you, more people will come to you one after another, so be prepared."
"No way? I just want to live a peaceful life." Chu Ze's face fell when he heard that. He really didn't want to be famous.
"Who told you to write songs for others for no reason?" Xia Anruo gloated.
"I was wrong, what should I do now?" Chu Ze asked for help.
"As long as you don't sell this song, you will probably be harassed all the time."
"Then you should take it and sing it."
"If you sing to me, I'm afraid you'll have even less peace in your life." Xia Anruo said expressionlessly.
She also wanted to sing this song, but the current situation made her sing it. A lot of people were curious about Potato's identity, and now the author of the new song was suddenly not the regular lyricist and composer, but a new lyricist. This would probably attract even more attention.
"It's such a headache. I shouldn't have written this song for Cheng Ran." Chu Ze felt a headache.
"You'd better find a suitable singer to sell it to. Once the song is released, no one will come to you." Xia Anruo said.
"But who should we sell to?" Chu Ze didn't know many of the singers.
"Didn't you just have a candidate?"
"Who?"
"Song Ziqi."
"Are you testing me? Don't worry, I've already told you I won't sell her out." Chu Ze vowed that he would not be fooled.
"Who tried?"
"Isn't it?"
God knows if if I agree, what will happen next is like "Okay, now the little black guy has shown his chicken feet."
"Am I such an unreasonable person?" Xia Anruo said angrily, "I do think Song Ziqi is the most suitable one at the moment. We have to sell her anyway, so it's better to keep her in the family. Song Ziqi and I actually have a good relationship, so I have no objection to you giving her to her."
"Then you just questioned me about Song Ziqi."
"Humph, just now was just now, and now is now."
"..."
Women are really hard to please.
……
Xinghua Entertainment.
Resting on the sofa in the karaoke room.
"Ziqi, look at what you have done? How come you got into a scandal just by buying a song?" Liu Fang put the tablet with Song Ziqi's gossip on the coffee table in front of her, not knowing what to say.
"I'm sorry, Sister Liu. I thought I hid myself well, but I was recognized as soon as I entered the school." Song Ziqi had also read the news and apologized with a pursed mouth.
"Recognizing him is not a problem, the problem is what's going on between you and that boy?" Liu Fang was not concerned about this, but how she could have a scandal with a boy out of nowhere. "He is the author of "Sunny Day". I was looking for him to buy songs at the time, but I didn't know that these media would exaggerate and report it like this. It's too bad." Song Ziqi explained.
"If you want to talk about buying songs, you should find a place where there is no one around with him. What are you thinking about talking about things in front of everyone?" Liu Fang was speechless about Song Ziqi's behavior.
These unscrupulous media can make up something for you for no reason. You were recognized but you were not alert at all. No wonder those media took advantage of the situation and exaggerated it.
"I didn't think so much at the time." Song Ziqi smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
"Forget it, fortunately the impact is not that big. First, tell me, have you bought the song?" Liu Fang asked.
"He didn't agree directly at that time. He said he would consider it and asked me to go back first. If he was interested, he would contact me." Song Ziqi took a sip of water and thought for a while.
"Then you came back?" Liu Fang looked at her.
"Yes." Song Ziqi nodded obediently.
It's really what he said, how can you believe it?
How can you be so naive?
Sometimes I really can’t figure out whether this is your strength or weakness.
If I get sold one day, I'll still help others count money.
"Has he contacted you in the past two days?" Liu Fang asked again.
"No..." Song Ziqi pouted when she heard this, as the question hit a sore spot.
She had been looking forward to it for a long time since she came back, but there was no news from the other side. It seemed like there was no hope.
"No wonder you looked so listless when practicing singing these two days." Liu Fang was not surprised.
If they really have the intention, they can reach an agreement face to face. Saying that they are considering it is just a polite way of rejecting someone because they have high EQ.
"Why are you so honest? He told you to wait for him to contact you, so you really waited? You have to be more proactive. If you don't, others will get you the chance." Liu Fang was very disappointed with her own singer.
"But I'm afraid what if he finds me annoying?" Song Ziqi said worriedly.
"You are so... Never mind. Give me his contact information and I will help you negotiate."
Liu Fang was also convinced. This was a business discussion, not a love affair. If you were so slow in your relationship, it would eventually fail.
I shouldn't have listened to Song Ziqi and let her buy the songs herself.
This girl is so honest that no one would take you with them to a banquet.
"Ah? But it's not good to give out his WeChat to anyone without permission, right?" Song Ziqi was still a little hesitant.
"I'm your agent, what does it have to do with me?" Liu Fang almost laughed out of anger.
Isn’t it natural for an agent to contact and discuss song purchases for his own singers?
"Oh."
Song Ziqi nodded in confusion and was about to push Chu Ze's WeChat to Liu Fang, when she suddenly received a message from Chu Ze the next moment.
"Are you free? Let's talk about the collaboration on the song 'Sunny Day'."
Song Ziqi was stunned for a moment when she saw the news. She rubbed her eyes and thought she had seen it wrongly. After a while, she realized it was true. Her originally confused face suddenly became excited: "Sister Liu! Quick, look, he contacted me!"
"Ah? Let me see." Song Ziqi's words surprised Liu Fang. Was the slap in the face coming so quickly?
She quickly went over to take a look and urged, "Really? Come back soon then."
"Oh oh oh, yes!"
Song Ziqi finally reacted and quickly opened the chat box to reply.
After a while, Chu Ze called on WeChat and started discussing with Song Ziqi.
……
Xu Ya had finally finished her busy schedule and after finishing the recording of a show that had just ended, she got into the nanny car, sat down on the back seat, and rubbed her tired forehead.
"What time is it?" she asked Tang Yu who got on the car next to her.
"It's already two o'clock in the morning. Should we go back to the company directly or stay in the hotel for one night before leaving?" Tang Yu asked.
"Go back to the hotel and rest for a day, and then go to Jiangcheng to contact Chu Ze tomorrow." Xu Ya thought about it and made arrangements.
Hearing this, Tang Yu's expression became a little subtle, and she handed over the phone: "Sister Xu, why don't you take a look at this Weibo first."
"What Weibo?"
Xu Ya frowned and took it to look at it:
"Zi Qi's new song "Sunny Day", see you on May 20th."
"Sunny Day? What's going on?" Xu Ya was stunned when she saw the title of the song.
She quickly flipped through the comments section:
"Wow, Ziqi released a new song so soon. I'm looking forward to it."
"This song title sounds so familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere before?"
"There was a popular video on Station B before, in which a college student sang an original song with this name."
"Yes, yes, I've heard that too."
"That song is so nice. Did Ziqi buy that song?"
"Wow, I'm really looking forward to Zi Qi singing "Sunny Day", it must be very nice."
There are also many fans in the comment section who know about that video and are speculating whether the new song is related to that song.
"This was just released by Song Ziqi, and I just learned about this news." Tang Yu didn't have time to find out the details.
"Didn't you say that Chu Ze didn't want to sell it for the time being?" Xu Ya looked at Tang Yu angrily and asked.
She was just about to contact Chu Ze to buy the song, but the next second she received the news that Song Ziqi was about to release a new single "Sunny Day".
Xu Ya was stunned.
"That's exactly what he said at the time." Tang Yu felt wronged, and it wasn't her fault.
What can I do if they say they won’t sell it?
"Then how did Song Ziqi buy it? Did she steal it?" Xu Ya said angrily, pointing at the Weibo post.
"Maybe he changed his mind and wanted to sell it again?" Tang Yu guessed cautiously.
"What does this Chu Ze mean? Is he trying to trick us? We were the ones who went to find him first, but in the end he sold him to that woman Song Ziqi." Xu Ya was so angry.
"Logically, this shouldn't happen. I've already told him to set any conditions, but he's not willing. Can Song Ziqi offer better conditions than ours?" Tang Yu was also puzzled.
He can propose any price on my side, so it is impossible that he is not satisfied with the price.
As for worrying about the singer's problem and burying good songs, that's even more impossible. Whether in terms of popularity or strength, Song Ziqi is several levels lower than Xu Ya.
"It's also possible that Song Ziqi's new song is not Chu Ze's "Sunny Day"? What if it's just a homonym? She's using this song title to attract attention." This is all Tang Yu could say to comfort Xu Ya.
"You'll know when she releases it." Xu Ya threw her phone away and leaned back in her seat, not wanting to talk.
……
Two weeks later, it was May 20th.
Song Ziqi’s new single "Sunny Day" is finally officially released!
This new song has great momentum and it reached the top 20 of the new song chart on the first day.
This result may not seem that impressive, but it is compared with first-line singers.
For Song Ziqi, the momentum of this song to top the charts is much stronger than her previous new songs.
What Song Ziqi never expected was that on the second day after the new song was released, Xia Anruo actually retweeted her Weibo post about the release of her new song for the first time ever and promoted it.
Xia Anruo's wave of Amway traffic directly caused Xia Anruo's huge fan base to instantly flood into the comment section of "Sunny Day" on major music platforms. The new song "Sunny Day" also reached the top five of the new song list in just two days.
As the popularity grew, the high quality of the song itself spread through word of mouth, and a week later it surpassed several previous popular veteran singers and topped the charts.
