I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 371. Wan Ning - Relay Race

After getting on the bus, Wu Lingyu seemed to have not slept well the night before, and soon fell asleep leaning against Xu Qingfan.

However, her two jade-like legs remained tightly pressed together.

After dropping Wu Lingyu off at home, the driver quickly brought Xu Qingfan to the company building.

As a professional secretary, Lin Juan was already waiting in the lobby, reporting on the project to Xu Qingfan while they were in the elevator.

"Aside from the daily recommendation algorithm still being optimized, the community section, personalized playlists, and registered artists have all been set up, and the total expenditure has been covered."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Juan. Is Sister Xiaoya back yet?" Xu Qingfan looked up and smiled, his gentle gaze fixed on Lin Juan.

Lin Juan, who was reporting on her work, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just flew back from Taiwan yesterday. The domestic online copyrights of those singers you asked me to buy have been bought out for twenty years."

Everything proceeded as planned, and Xu Qingfan was in high spirits: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xiaoya. I'll treat you to a big meal at noon."

"Then I'm going to have to make the little boss pay!" Zhang Chunxue is the big boss, and Xu Qingfan is naturally the little boss.

“Just accept Didi payment, you can eat whatever you want with my meal card.” Xu Qingfan took out his high school meal card from his wallet.

Lin Juan was initially taken aback, but after seeing clearly the Licheng Middle School meal card in his hand, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Good Taste Cloud's headquarters are also located in Zhujiang New Town, which is quite normal, since almost every internet company in the port city is based here.

After Lin Juan announced the start of the meeting, the heads of various departments soon gathered in the office, taking turns to report to him on the progress and difficulties of their respective projects.

"We have already secured 90% of the domestic electronic music copyright targets because we have offered prices that are more than 30% higher than the market price, and we have encountered almost no difficulties."

Fang Xiaoya paused for a moment before continuing, "Japan, South Korea, and Western countries have a very mature awareness of copyright, and they look down on the prices we offer."

The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone was waiting for Xu Qingfan's answer.

He tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then we won't consider them for now. Other companies can pirate, but we certainly can't!"

The group of people were initially intrigued, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, they all felt as if they had swallowed a fly.

Xu Qingfan smiled and said, "We can't actively upload pirated music, but it's none of our business if users upload it voluntarily. Okay, everyone go back to your own business. Meeting adjourned."

Everyone present seemed to have been enlightened, and quickly left, understanding the unspoken message.

"What does the user's spontaneous behavior have to do with our company!"

“The boss is awesome!”

"Brilliant!"

Soon only Xu Qingfan, Lin Juan, and Fang Xiaoya remained in the office. Since they had all watched him grow up, the two of them sat down as soon as no one else was around.

"Xiao Fan, I think your idea of ​​nurturing resident singers in Taiwan is great, but is it really necessary to spend so much money on digital copyrights?"

The "Sword Net Action" was launched in 05, but even now, pirated music and videos are still rampant on the Internet. Fang Xiaoya cannot understand why Xu Qingfan would waste tens of millions of yuan to buy copyrights.

"Over the years, the Chinese music scene has accumulated hundreds of thousands or even millions of songs, but only a few thousand or tens of thousands of them have truly become popular."

"Suppose one day we own the copyrights to all these songs, and users can only listen to the songs they want on Haoweiyun, what do you think would happen then?"

Xu Qingfan knew what Fang Xiaoya wanted to say, and he continued, "I know what you want to say. You just feel that day is far away. Well, I can tell you with certainty that that day will definitely come within three years, and it is very likely that it will be driven by us."

Lin Juan cupped her face in her hands, admiring Xu Qingfan's profile. Working for a high-profile boss is a very pleasant thing, and yes, working for a top female entrepreneur is also great.

Fang Xiaoya shook her head helplessly and said reproachfully, "It's good that you don't care about your own money. Anyway, I get a commission and a kickback!"

"It's alright, as long as it's within my price range, you can eat whatever you want, Sister Xiaoya." Xu Qingfan knew Fang Xiaoya's character well; if she really cared about money, she wouldn't have stuck with that small music store for so many years.

He felt that Sister Xiaoya was probably the kind of person who had a strong belief in her heart and genuinely wanted to contribute something to the music industry.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have refused Xu Qingfan's repeated invitations until he learned about Haoweiyun's local singer project, at which point he finally agreed to Xu's request.

You have to understand that these days, the only way for singers to make money is by releasing records and holding concerts, and these are the exclusive domain of big stars.

For ordinary people, the only way out is probably to work as a resident performer in a bar, and when their dreams are worn down by reality, they will obediently go to the factory to tighten screws.

The upcoming "Resident Singer" feature from Haoweiyun will undoubtedly give many talented but unappreciated singers an opportunity. As long as they upload their works to the platform, they will have the chance to be heard by hundreds of millions of netizens, and more importantly, they will have a source of income.

Fang Xiaoya appreciated the trust Xu Qingfan placed in her, and she felt she had lived up to that trust.

"I'll be flying to Hong Kong again the day after tomorrow to finalize the copyrights for the last few singers. Is there anything else you need, little boss?" She smiled at Xu Qingfan, resting her chin on her hand.

"That's all. Take a good rest for the next period of time, travel on public funds, spend money freely in bars all over the country, and sign any good talents you come across."

"That's more like it!" Fang Xiaoya stretched comfortably, feeling increasingly grateful for the decision she had made.

"What about me, little boss?" Lin Juan immediately protested, looking at him resentfully.

"How about I give you a raise?" Xu Qingfan always had the illusion that he was coaxing Qingmei.

"Hehe~ That works too!" Lin Juan's face lit up with a smile.

After treating the two women and Zhang Chunxue to lunch at noon, Xu Qingfan took a car back to Licheng alone.

The company's plans are progressing steadily, but his presence might distract the employees, since the boss is a bit too young!

At 2 p.m. sharp, the car stopped in front of Lin Wanning's villa.

When Xu Qingfan got out of the car, two young girls were already waiting for him at the door under the scorching sun.

"Brother Qingfan!"

"Brother is here!"

Zhang Yiyi kicked away Xiao Bai who was trying to get close, and Lin Wanning pushed him into the house from the left and right.

"Hehe~ Ah." Lin Wanning took out some cut fruit from the refrigerator and fed it to him.

"Are you feeling alright, brother?" Zhang Yiyi stood behind him and massaged his shoulders.

"Hmm~comfortable."

This is why Xu Qingfan didn't go home first after returning to Licheng; his family wouldn't offer him that kind of treatment!

"Brother Qingfan, the watermelon is the sweetest!" Lin Wanning fed him another piece of watermelon that looked delicious.

"Give your brother a leg massage!" Zhang Yiyi ran ahead again, squatted down, and massaged his legs.

"Okay, okay~" Xu Qingfan comfortably crossed his legs. After sitting in the car for almost an hour, he suddenly didn't feel tired anymore.

"Good duck, good duck~" Lin Wanning imitated his call.

Zhang Yiyi covered her mouth and chuckled secretly.

After they had enjoyed themselves enough, Xu Qingfan asked the two of them, "Did you take a nap at noon?"

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yi exchanged a knowing glance and shook their heads simultaneously. "Ha~ Are you sleepy now?" he yawned and asked.

"Tired!" they both said in unison, and nodded at the same time.

"Shall we take a nap first, and then write the script after we wake up?" Xu Qingfan put his arm around the two women's shoulders, letting them lean against him.

"Ok!"

"I'll write again after I wake up!"

So far, both girls have acted and spoken normally.

"Ha~ Let's go upstairs and get some sleep. I was thinking about the script in the car, and I haven't slept yet either." Xu Qingfan yawned again and got up to go upstairs.

Lin Wanning's house also has three floors. The second floor has Lin Qiaoshan and Wen Wanqing's bedroom and piano room, while the third floor has the master bedroom, the second bedroom and the toilet.

The three of them went up to the third floor together. Just as Xu Qingfan was about to follow the two into Wan Ning's room, Lin Wan Ning and Zhang Yiyi blocked the doorway at the same time.

Zhang Yi pointed to the second bedroom next door: "My brother will sleep in the second bedroom, and Wan Ning and I will sleep in the master bedroom!"

“That’s right, Qingfan is all grown up now. Men and women shouldn’t be so close. We can’t sleep together anymore!” Lin Wanning nodded vigorously in agreement.

Xu Qingfan almost choked on his own. Good heavens, did he, Xu, want to go in and sleep? Every time, it was the two of them arguing about protecting the environment and saving money on air conditioning!
"Alright, alright, I'm all grown up now, I'll sleep in the second bedroom." He pinched their faces hard with both hands at the same time, imprinting their cute faces in his mind before letting go.

"Hehe~ Good afternoon, Brother Qingfan!"

Good afternoon, brother!

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yi waved to Xu Qingfan and said good afternoon. Watching his departing figure, the two exchanged a smile, revealing cunning expressions of triumph.

The story goes back to half an hour earlier.

"Yiyi, are you sleepy? I'm so sleepy, but I want to wait for Brother Qingfan to go back so we can sleep together!" Lin Wanning's eyes trembled as he leaned against Zhang Yiyi and squinted.

"Ha~ But my brother definitely won't agree to it." Zhang Yiyi was also drowsy, slumping her head on the sofa.

“Yes, Brother Qingfan definitely won’t agree, so we can’t sleep in the same bed together.” Lin Wanning nodded in agreement.

"Sigh~" The two sighed at the same time.

That's the downside of a threesome; they couldn't convince Xu Qingfan to let them all get into bed together.

Well, that's what Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi think. As for whether Xu Gou really wants it or not, that's hard to say.

The two remained silent in the living room, with only the television playing white noise.

"Have it!"

Suddenly, Lin Wanning, who had been listless, jumped up from the sofa, causing even his ahoge (cowlick) to stand up straight.

"Yay! I've got an idea!" She excitedly ran around the living room once before returning to Zhang Yiyi.

Zhang Yiyi was almost scared to death by her best friend, who thought she was possessed by an evil spirit and was suddenly acting out of nowhere.

"What idea did Wan Ning come up with?" She scratched her head in confusion.

“We can’t both crawl into Qingfan’s bed, but we can take turns!” Lin Wanning felt like a god of wisdom from ancient Greece. Ningning was just too smart!

Zhang Yi stared blankly at her, blinking repeatedly.

"Uh, is that not okay?" Seeing Yi Yi's blank expression, Lin Wanning suddenly became insecure again.

"Okay," Zhang Yiyi said uncertainly.

"Hehe~ It'll definitely work!" After receiving confirmation, the girl happily hugged her.

Zhang Yiyi shook her head helplessly, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

[Only Wan Ning could come up with such an absurd idea.]
Let's turn back time to the present.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi lay on the bed, the only sound in the room the ticking of the clock.

One minute passed, ten minutes passed, and soon, twenty minutes had passed.

"I'm going now." The closer it got to her departure, the more nervous Lin Wanning became; she was already starting to feel the urge to use the restroom.

"Mmm." The two were lying face to face on their sides, and Zhang Yiyi winked at her.

"I'll crawl for ten minutes, then it'll be Yi Yi's turn!" Lin Wanning nodded firmly, like a secret agent making a rendezvous, and then opened the door and left.

After Wan Ning left, Zhang Yiyi turned around and looked at the ceiling again, a slight smile on her lips, because she remembered the kiss in the bathroom that day.

After leaving the house, Lin Wanning went to the restroom first.

[I needed to pee during that kiss last time, but I learned my lesson this time!]
After washing her hands, Lin Wanning looked at herself in the mirror and smiled sweetly.

[Qingfan's brother Wanning is here!]
She raised both hands and walked towards Xu Qingfan's room with a menacing air.

One minute later.

"no!"

Lin Wanning clenched his fists angrily; the door was locked from the inside!

[It's locked from the inside, but there's still a key!]
Brother Qingfan doesn't believe her? Lin Wanning is definitely going to crawl into this bed tonight!

Soon, the girl who had retrieved the key from downstairs returned.

After inserting the key into the lock, a gentle turn produces a crisp "click" sound.

[Qingfan's brother Wanning is here again!]
Lin Wanning left the key in the lock and slipped into the room.

It seemed that because she had already kissed Brother Qingfan last time, Lin Wanning was extremely decisive in getting out of bed again this time, not afraid of waking Xu Qingfan at all.

Soon, an adorable Wan Ning appeared in Xu Qingfan's bed.

Lin Wanning actually wanted to relive the feeling of kissing again, but Xu Qingfan seemed to be really asleep, and the loud noise just now did not wake him up.

She needed to take over the baton later, and since she couldn't close her eyes to sleep, the girl had no choice but to crawl into bed and press her ear against his heart to count the heartbeats.

Soon, the agreed-upon ten minutes had passed.

[But I wasted almost five minutes looking for the keys!]
Just as Lin Wanning was hesitating whether to go back now, something suddenly grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her out of bed.

Seeing Lin Wanning pop out, Xu Qingfan thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

He grabbed the girl's ahoge (cowlick) and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Wanning's answer was even more direct. After a moment of fear and apprehension, the girl suddenly leaned down and kissed him.
