"Who is she? Is there anyone who sings better than you?"
"Of course!" Ji Ying said confidently and excitedly, pacing around the room a few tis before continuing, "Qiao Qiao, do you know what a celestial voice is? Have you ever seen a fairy? Her singing voice is especially, especially beautiful. Compared to her, I'm like dog sh*t, no, worse than dog sh*t!"
Qiao Qiao: "..."
Ji Ying, you don't need to put yourself down like that. If you're dog sh*t, then what is she?
"I can't tell you who she is. She doesn't want to use her real na, but an artistic na instead. I'm going to find her now. I want to produce this song. I want everyone in the world to hear it."
Unable to control her excitent, Ji Ying got up to rush out, but Qiao Qiao stopped her.
She was afraid Ji Ying would go crazy like this.
"Ji Ying, Ji Ying, what you need most now is rest. Go take a shower and sleep for a bit."
"No, I can't. I need to go see her!"
Ji Ying seed bewitched.
Fearing sothing might happen to her, Qiao Qiao kept persuading her, "Ji Ying, you're in no condition right now. Don't you want to produce a perfect song? In your current exhausted state of body and mind, how could you possibly succeed?"
"You're right. I need to rest. I need to be in top form to greet her."
After saying that, Ji Ying rushed back to bed, covered herself, and fell into a deep sleep a second later.
She was truly exhausted.
Seeing this, Qiao Qiao shook her head helplessly, went to the living room, picked up the scattered sheet music, and put it away.
Once done cleaning up, she sat on a chair, holding the sheet music, and started singing too.
Her voice was not as good as Ji Ying's, so it didn't sound as flavourful when she sang.
Qiao Qiao thought that with Ji Ying's great voice, if she had sung those songs herself, she would have been famous all over the country long ago.
Unfortunately, the songs Ji Ying had written in the past were all sung by Fan Yulin. She stayed behind the scenes, wholeheartedly supporting Fan Yulin. Even when his career reached its peak, she retreated into marriage and did the cooking for Fan Yulin.
Qiao Qiao thought Ji Ying was foolish, sacrificing half her life for a man.
That Fan Yulin was a scumbag, always talking about wanting children, but ended up having an illegitimate child outside, even blaming Ji Ying for not being able to have kids.
How could Ji Ying not have kids? It was because that scumbag had held her back.
The more Qiao Qiao thought about it, the angrier she beca, clenching her fists tightly. She hoped Ji Ying could produce great songs, regain her forr glory, and fiercely strike back at those who said her talents were exhausted. More importantly, she wanted Ji Ying to strike that scumbag in the face.
Ji Ying slept for an entire day and night. After waking up, the first thing she did was find Gu Nanyan.
They cleared out the people in the recording studio, and the three of them went together.
Because Gu Nanyan had an accurate sense of music and Ji Ying was an all-rounder, they didn't take long before the song 'Peace of Mind' was recorded successfully.
"It sounds exactly like when Sister-in-law Long sang it!"
Zhan Yiran was still excited. From now on, she could listen to this song often.
Ji Ying is aweso!
Ji Ying was also very satisfied. She didn't expect the result to be this good.
"When will this song be released?"
Zhan Yiran could hardly wait.
"This week. You two go back and wait for my good news."
After seeing off Gu Nanyan and Zhan Yiran, Ji Ying exported the song and rushed to the company.
There's a process for producing songs, which usually takes a long ti, at least a month. But Ji Ying finished it in just four days.
Everyone thought it was too much of a joke. It must be that Young Lady Zhan was in a whimsical mood, humming a few lines casually, and Ji Ying couldn't be bothered, so she just recorded it directly.
This kind of shabby song, not to ntion being properly released, couldn't even compare to so internet celebrities' casual remakes.
There was no way it could be released. They might as well just toss it out.
No one took it seriously, but Ji Ying actually wanted to release it on Thursday morning, alongside Qiu Feiyue's new song, as a proper release.
The entire company was stunned.
The general manager advised Ji Ying to wait until next week, but Ji Ying didn't want to wait a mont longer, "Manager, I'm not fooling around. This song is really good. I can guarantee it's better than Qiu Feiyue's new song."
The general manager thought mockingly, What guarantee do you have? Your past glory?
Big sister, that was in the past. You're outdated now!
The general manager really wanted to scold Ji Ying, but since this song was instructed by Young Lady Zhan, he didn't dare offend the Zhan family and could only swallow his anger, "Ji Ying, you're a veteran in this industry for so many years. Are you trying to lose face for the company?
Releasing this shabby song under the company's na and your na, promoting it properly—don't you have any sha? If you don't, the company does!"
"Manager, you've known for so many years. Am I the kind of person who would joke around with the company's reputation? I don't want to praised myself, but I want you to listen for yourself."
After saying that, she sent the song 'Peace of Mind' to the manager and left.
Seeing Ji Ying so determined, the manager hesitated. Could this song actually be good?
He was about to press play when his phone suddenly rang.
It was Zhan Yiran calling.
Zhan Yiran was worried about obstacles at the company, so she called specifically to urge the general manager to cooperate with Ji Ying and release the song as soon as possible. She couldn't wait to see the fans' cheers.
After hanging up, the general manager's mouth twitched.
He must be crazy to actually believe Ji Ying's nonsense.
A clueless rich young lady like Zhan Yiran, who knew nothing about the hardships of common people, how could she sing a good song? As long as she didn't cause trouble, that would be good enough.
The general manager directly deleted the song Ji Ying had sent him without listening, to avoid hurting his ears.
This ti, he would give Young Lady Zhan a favor, but there wouldn't be a next ti. If Zhan Yiran wanted to act rashly again, he would go to Lord Zhan.
He didn't believe Lord Zhan would allow Zhan Yiran to repeatedly act recklessly and ruin the Zhan family's music company's reputation.
When they heard that Ji Ying's 'Peace of Mind' would be released on Thursday alongside Qiu Feiyue's new song 'Endless Love', everyone at the company thought Ji Ying had gone crazy.
Teacher Qiu Feiyue's new song 'Endless Love' was personally written and composed by him, taking three months to polish. He also found a popular idol to sing it. Just the preview alone had driven fans into a frenzy, clamoring to hear it.
Industry insiders all predicted 'Endless Love' would be a hit, becoming this week's number one on the pop music charts and dominating the charts for a long ti.
For 'Peace of Mind' to be released at this ti, wasn't it just inviting torture?
By then, one person would top the charts, while the other wouldn't even make it onto the list. The contrast would be too stark. If they were Ji Ying, they wouldn't even have the face to be part of the circle.
They might as well pack up and leave.
Qiu Feiyue also found out about this matter, but he didn't say a word, nor did he show any expression, acting as if it wasn't a big deal at all.
With his current status, he no longer regarded Ji Ying highly.
This joint release was good too, allowing him to completely defeat Ji Ying and cent his reputation as the best music producer.
