Chapter 153 Spinning Top

"Among the six of them, one is secretly married and has a child who is almost a month old. The photos that were taken before were all bought by the company. Now that they have fallen out with Tao Yong, they are very likely to be exposed, which will have a bad impact on you."

When asked about inviting the Chasing Light Boys to perform at the concert, Zhang Mingyuan refused without hesitation and even called the two boys to his office, where he quietly explained the reason to them.

Lu Nanting was not greatly affected after his secret marriage because he did not follow the idol route, he was very talented, and he also had a capable team.

The Chasing Light Boys are a pure idol boy group. For them, being exposed in a relationship is equivalent to losing their job. Getting over this hurdle would be extremely difficult.

Lu Nanting was unaware of this matter, and was somewhat surprised when he heard him mention it: "What were they thinking?"

"You're asking me, a single guy? I thought you knew more than me?"

Well, love can always make people reckless.

but……

"How could it affect me? He got married before me, how could you blame me for that?"

Zhang Mingyuan, worthy of being the god who controls yin and yang, immediately put on a high-pitched voice upon hearing this:
"I've been looking forward to this day since I was seventeen. I didn't get married before, not because my feelings wouldn't allow it, but because the law wouldn't allow it, understand?"

However, Lu Nanting said something similar when he appeared on a TV show, which even made it to the trending topics.

Gu Lanxi couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

It's quite possible that he was dating too early and openly discussed it on a TV show, and fans are trying to pin the blame on him.

Lu Nanting had no choice but to shrug and say, "Alright, what should we do then?"

Let's give them an endorsement deal!

The Lu family has many subsidiaries that need endorsements, so the young master's words are no different from "giving each of them a bag of spicy strips".

"No, if the building really collapses, the brand will suffer as well, and that would be too offensive."

"Then let's show them a magazine cover."

"This works."

With Lu Nanting's connections, this matter can be handled very easily.

After a brief discussion, and hearing that the song "Mosquito" was finished, Zhang Mingyuan simply went with the two of them to the recording studio.

The two sides weren't far apart, and we arrived at our destination in no time.

Generally, when Lu Nanting releases an original soundtrack album, he uses the best teams in the industry for each part.

Vocal recording is done in one studio, instrument recording in another, and mastering is outsourced to a more professional organization.

If the music is particularly complex, top-notch orchestras will be invited to participate.

He used only his own team for the entire production of this song, not to save money or to be perfunctory, but so that he could have complete control and make the song exactly the way he wanted it to be.

Speaking of which, his own team is quite capable, with no weaknesses in any aspect. They can easily make such a simple song.

Upon arriving at the studio, Lao Wang handed each of them a pair of noise-canceling headphones, and as soon as they put them on, he immediately pressed the play button.

Gu Lanxi had seen the sheet music and heard Lu Nanting sing it a cappella. She even recorded the intro herself, but once it was finished, it felt very different.

As the suona horn sounds, one can almost see a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing around the room like fighter jets. When the singing begins, the scene of Lu Nanting swatting mosquitoes is vividly portrayed.

Gu Lanxi found it amusing and laughed as she listened, while Lu Nanting frowned slightly after hearing it.

"The intro doesn't feel very smooth..."

He'd been working himself to the bone for days, and the moment he heard he wasn't satisfied, Lao Wang and the others wanted to pick him up and shake him violently!

But Gu Lanxi always cared about his opinion, so she asked him, "What's not quite right?"

Lu Nanting hummed a couple of lines, indicating that this was the place.

Gu Lanxi stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and suggested, "How about we add a line of dialogue here?"

When faced with a problem, Gu Lanxi never prioritizes venting her emotions; her first thought is always to solve the problem.

That's something to admire.

"What dialogue?"

"I say, 'There are so many mosquitoes!' and you say, 'Kill them!'"

"The rhythm is off. We need to add a word to the first line. How about this, before you shout 'So many mosquitoes,' shout 'Brother' first..."

Gu Lanxi slapped him hard across the arm.

"Adding a mosquito-swatting sound would also be fine, like this, 'smack!'"

The crowd burst into laughter, but Lu Nanting, thick-skinned and unconcerned, continued to argue, "Where I am, how can I let you personally swat mosquitoes? That's not right... Besides, you're younger than me, what's wrong with calling me 'brother'?" Among the dozen or so people present, Gu Lanxi glanced at him, but seeing him turn his face away, still stubborn, clearly unwilling to give up this "grand" plan, she had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, let's do it this way! Let's record it and see."

"Then hurry up! Finish this in two quick moves so we can go home!"

The stubborn donkey instantly became a docile donkey; the proprietress has it tough.

The staff quickly prepared, and the two entered the recording studio, recording the dialogue in time with the beat.

The mixing engineer added this track to the intro, and when we listened again, it sounded different.

It must be said that Lu Nanting is truly talented in music.

After the recording was completed smoothly, the mixing engineer began his work, and Lao Wang couldn't help but praise him:
"Miss Gu, if you have some free time, you could try writing lyrics. I feel you have a lot of talent!"

Privately, they all call Gu Lanxi the boss lady, but when they meet her, they always politely call her "Miss Gu," which makes people feel very comfortable.

Gu Lanxi was embarrassed by the praise and repeatedly declined, saying, "No, no, professional matters should be left to professionals."

Seeing her decline, Lao Wang didn't continue the topic. Instead, he took out the packaging plan and promotional materials for Lu Nanting to confirm.

Having a boss with many ideas means you have to double-check everything to avoid being blamed for problems.

Old Wang has been serving this young master for many years; he's a seasoned worker himself.

These arrangements had been made long ago. Lu Nanting glanced at them casually and nodded, "Let's do it this way!"

Gu Lanxi also wanted to go over and take a look, but Lu Nanting smiled and said, "This is a surprise. You can see it when it's your birthday tomorrow." After saying that, he pulled her away.

Well, having a husband who values ​​rituals is nice too.

Gu Lanxi then said no more and followed him to the garage.

Zhang Mingyuan had to go back to the studio to keep an eye on the negative trending topics, so he didn't join the two of them.

Lu Nanting drove out in two cars, intending to have a bodyguard drive him, but Zhang Mingyuan refused outright.
“There have been a lot of obsessive fans lately, so it’s safer to have more people around. You two go first, I’ll just take a taxi, it’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Having said that, he had already pushed open the door.

Helpless, Lu Nanting had no choice but to take Gu Lanxi back to the old house.

The bodyguards followed closely behind them in another car.

Because of this delay, when the two arrived home, they found that both their elder brothers' families had arrived.

Wei Chen found a spinning top somewhere and was spinning it in the yard, sweating profusely, while shouting, "Sister, move away a bit!"

Wearing a princess dress, Jia Ning clapped and cheered around him, occasionally saying, "Brother is so amazing!" Then she would pester him to play too.

Seeing that the top was spinning steadily, Lu Weichen handed her the whip.

After she haphazardly spun around for a few moments, and seeing that the top was about to fall over, he took the whip back, whipping it while explaining the techniques to her:
"You have to pull its waist, not its legs, or it will jump up."

Once the top was spinning steadily again, he handed her the whip so she could try again.

It must be said that the Lu family children are all very well-mannered.

The older child is patient and knows how to share, while the younger child is never spoiled and is very polite.

Upon seeing the two return, they immediately put away their spinning tops and came over to greet them.

Lu Weichen called out, "Uncle! Aunt!"

Lu Jianing called out, "Auntie, Uncle!"

Lu Nanting agreed and reached out to Lu Weichen for the spinning top: "Where did you get this thing?"

“I saw a spinning top at my grandfather’s house a couple of days ago. When I asked him about it, he said it was from the Qing Dynasty and he was going to send it to a museum. When he saw that I liked it, he found a piece of jujube wood and spun two for me.”

"Where's the other one?"

"Uncle, do you want to play too?"

Lu Nanting had played with these kinds of things a lot when she was little, so she wasn't particularly interested in playing with them. But Gu Lanxi had been watching intently, so she guessed that Lu Nanting probably hadn't played with them as a child. She smiled and nodded.

"Okay! Can you give me one?"

"What's the big deal? Uncle, just take it and play with it. If you want it again later, I'll go find my uncle."

Gu Lanxi glanced at him with amusement, amused, but said nothing. She hadn't expected him to be so childish, playing with children's toys.

Hearing the car stop, Zhang Ruolan came out to greet them, saying, "Hurry up and wash your hands, dinner's ready!"
