Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets! Chapter 48 - 44. Overnight Sensation

"Yeah, Brother Lu, we’re cutting this footage but not posting it. What’s the point in doing this?"

Luo Lang was blunt and straightforward, speaking his mind with a chuckle.

"You two still don’t understand."

Lu Jincheng took the most comfortable spot in the studio, leaning back in the executive chair with his feet up on the desk, basking in the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking relaxed.

"Read more books. Setting off a trend requires several key elents. Do you think these viral monts are as common as daily als?"

"Brother Lu, I admit their singing sounds nice, but what’s the point of editing these covers?"

"Do you really think they can beco slightly famous like Senior Sister Miao?"

Luo Lang was confused. When Lu Jincheng had previously managed the promotion of Mou Keyan’s dance video, the two of them rely admired and learned from him.

Golden Stone!

Our job is to chase trends, creating hot topics!

Two days to gain a hundred thousand followers, Mr. Lu is aweso!

Now that he was genuinely involved, watching other people’s cover videos every day, he indeed didn’t quite understand.

Could listening to college girls sing set off a trend?

There are plenty of good singers, but how many can break out and beco professional singers?

Otherwise, just check Weibo, even if the singing is good, there are hardly any followers, nothing compared to pretty girls.

And he had discussed with Lu Jincheng, these two girls, though skilled and possessing distinct vocal tones, were not formally trained in music, with the guitarist almost entirely self-taught.

With such a background... how could they go far?

How could they compare to his idol—Mou Keyan?

Purely a waste of ti.

He thought to himself.

"Soon, don’t worry, I think it will happen in a few days."

Lu Jincheng didn’t explain, only spoke mysteriously.

...

...

That evening, Xinyi and Pei Pei were back at the Golden Stone Café.

"Here already? What do you plan to sing today?"

It was the usual ti, and the elusive male owner usually appeared only then, bringing two cups of coffee to the resident singers.

"Mm-hmm~"

The relatively introverted Pei Pei cradled her guitar, nodding at Lu Jincheng as a greeting.

"Folk songs, we’re actually quite good at those."

Xinyi, with her neat bangs and big sparkly eyes, seed to twinkle as she spoke.

"Maybe you shouldn’t bother filming, little junior. It’s always such a hassle every ti~"

Their way of addressing Lu Jincheng had slowly shifted from boss to little junior as they beca more familiar with each other.

"If you have any preferences you can tell us ahead via WeChat, we’ll sing them specially for you next ti."

Xinyi said cheerfully.

Every ti they perford, Lu Jincheng would sit in front, like a fan, filming them with his phone.

This was also why their relationship had improved so rapidly.

Who wouldn’t like a boss who was down-to-earth and loved their music?

"No worries, no worries, I think you sing well and just want to keep a record as a friend, who knows, maybe you’ll beco famous?"

Lu Jincheng responded with a smile.

"How could that happen..."

Pei Pei stuck out her tongue, took her guitar off her back, walked inside to tune the sound system, and prepared for tonight’s performance.

"You really don’t mind the trouble, if it ever happens, it would all be thanks to you~"

Xinyi giggled, giving a salute with her hands and didn’t take it seriously.

As evening approached, the cafe was already filled with various people: white-collar workers in T-shirts, groups of sisters in skirts, young boys attracted by fa, and so quietly sitting alone.

It was nothing new for [Golden Stone]Cafe to have regular live music performances. Neighbors from nearby would occasionally join in the fun. In an atmosphere that wasn’t noisy like a dance club, enjoying so coffee here, reminiscing about the past was also a part of life.

Today’s owner seed a bit different.

Everyone watched as Lu Jincheng walked to the stage, took Pei Pei’s guitar to test the sound, and had a brief chat with her, then went off to contact Guan Yongyi to adjust the backstage audio to a higher level.

Lu Jincheng simply sat on the bench, puffed at the microphone, and sent out an echo through the hall.

Then, he handed it to Xinyi beside him, stepped off the stage, and raised his phone.

"What’s the na of the song?"

""Zebra, Zebra"."

The music started, with Pei Pei playing the lody.

Xinyi’s voice was simple and clear, like a sweet spring, flowing down the river of ti.

Yes, it was still that familiar flavor from a forr life.

"Zebra, zebra, don’t you fall asleep~"

Outside the door, a lone walker stopped in his tracks, hands tucked in his pockets, he looked through the light and shadows at the song playing inside.

Not far from the cafe, at a roadside stall, a husband and wife exchanged glances, the music seemingly reminding them of sothing.

They had dropped out of school at a young age, struggled together, wandered together, confessed their love but were told they were too young and had plenty of ti.

Now in their thirties, they finally had their own little nest in Jiang City.

Inside the house, the guitar’s sound was cold, lonely, and distant, yet the singer’s voice carried a hint of warmth.

"Zebra, zebra you’ve returned to your ho,

But I’m wasting my cold youth~"

They were lucky to have t the right person at the best age and had ultimately not lost each other.

Perhaps it was the touch of the song, they rembered their struggles in the city.

Every winter, she would knit a scarf by hand, knowing he would be selling in the cold, wearing her scarf as he walked through the streets and alleys of Jiang City, amidst the bustling traffic, deciding where to drink coffee, and where to pause and rember her.

...

...

"Zebra, zebra go to sleep, go to sleep,

I’m going to sell my house

To roam the world~"

After the song ended, the room first stagnated in silence for a few seconds, then burst into applause.

It had to be admitted that this rendition, compared to the original, easily evoked strong imagery in the mind – that was the charm of their cover.

"The voice is too pure, too beautiful..."

Even Zhou Sinin, who usually had criticisms of the duo, was deeply moved, incessantly shaking her friend’s hand.

Indeed, the folk duo who conquered thousands of fans in later generations, how could they not be moving?

So said: n have Good Sisters, won have Landlord’s Cat.

Their emotional, delicate, clear, and especially impactful live performance generated strong reactions.

When fans comnted, they always referred to them with phrases like "rich girlish vibes," "gentle breeze," "warm and positive."

From college girls who loved singing to a nationally famous folk duo, they branched out invisibly and laid groundwork miles long.

Landlord’s Cat’s journey was also filled with foreshadowed fate.

And the foreshadowing of this life, was destined to be written by Mr. Lu alone.

...

...

"Lao Luo, I’ll need you to work overti tonight."

It was already past ten when Lu Jincheng returned to the studio and called employee number one.

"This video needs to be edited quickly; it’s urgent."
