The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

"Sister-in-law, this is my classmate Liu Xiang. She's a very clean and hardworking person."

Liu Xiang then called her "sister-in-law".

Song Mei glanced at Liu Xiang a few times.

"We need someone to do odd jobs here. You'll need to serve food, wipe tables, and wash dishes. Two hours at noon and two hours in the evening. If you have classes, the hours can be adjusted accordingly, but it will be no less than three hours a day."

Liu Xiang has adapted to the learning pace.

If you set aside three hours during the day to work, you can reduce your sleep by two hours at night.

She can handle it.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

Song Mei nodded and glanced at Liu Xiang, who was dressed in thin clothes.

"One dollar a day, settled at the end of the month. You can also withdraw the money in advance if you really need it."

Liu Xiang rubbed the hem of her clothes.

The money my family gave me for the trip was almost gone, but thankfully the school provided meal tickets, so I wouldn't go hungry.

I just haven't received the allowance yet.

She didn't even buy soap, only toothpaste, which is essential for brushing her teeth.

She needs money, she desperately needs money.

"Sister-in-law, if you trust me, I'd like to borrow ten dollars first."

Without saying a word, Song Mei took out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket.

"Just come over and write me a note."

Liu Xiang obediently followed to the counter, and after writing, she followed to the kitchen.

Li Tian didn't interrupt, but instead asked Song Lan to order the food.

I also ordered a bowl of noodles with soybean paste for Liu Xiang.

It was almost lunchtime, and we couldn't work on an empty stomach.

Moreover, it also makes up for the meal I didn't invite Liu Xiang to when I treated my roommate.

Liu Xiang is sensible. With tears in her eyes, she finished eating the noodles and immediately got busy in the kitchen.

She's used to doing things at home, so washing and chopping vegetables is no problem for her, and she's quite efficient at it.

After Li Tian finished eating, she rode away on her bicycle.

If you've helped someone this far, you should gracefully retire.

A few days later, Chen Yufei called Li Tian and said that her friend had arranged a time.

The demo tape was recorded on Sunday.

Li Tian readily agreed.

She felt honored to be the original singer of "The Same Song".

After hanging up the phone, Li Tian called home again.

Tell Grandma not to wait for her; she can go home early after the recording is finished, and won't go home if it's late.

The next day, he met Li Muchen and told him the news in person.

Li Muchen was quite calm when he heard the news, because he was already used to his sister's extraordinary abilities.

Even knowing that her younger sister was going to attend the opening ceremony, she wasn't surprised.

"How come I remember you had plans with Wang Juan this Sunday?"

Li Tian raised her hand and patted her forehead.

I'm so busy I'm completely overwhelmed.

I completely forgot about the appointment I made with Wang Juan.

Wang Juan wanted to bring the people and design drafts to meet with Du Juan.

"My teacher isn't here this week, so I'll run this errand for you."

Li Tian smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Brother, you're truly my brother, thank you!"

"Make sure Aunt Dujuan is very careful and only accepts high-quality drawings. Moreover, it is strictly forbidden to sell the same drawing to multiple companies. Anyone who dares to do so will be held legally responsible."

Li Muchen nodded. The factory was everyone's hard work, and everyone hoped it could grow bigger and stronger.

Li Tian felt at ease leaving this matter to Li Muchen, as it would prevent any disruption to either side.

Early Sunday morning, Li Tian left the school gate carrying a small denim bag.

I took a taxi to the audio-visual company where they were recording demo tapes.

When she arrived, Zhao Xiaolan was already waiting there.

But Li Tian was not late.

"Good morning, Sister Zhao."

Zhao Xiaolan got up and came to greet her.

"Tian Tian, ​​let me show you around the recording studio first. I've already rented the room for the day, so you just need to focus on singing."

Li Tian nodded with a smile.

Curious yet open and confident, they looked around.

"Sister Zhao, you're a very talented newcomer! Have you released any tapes before?"

Zhao Xiaolan waved her hand in front of the fat man who was speaking.

"Don't ask around, that's not their job."

The fat man smiled ingratiatingly, but he still couldn't give up on Li Tian.

Even if a young girl's singing voice is just average, she can still get a lot of performance opportunities just because of her looks.

I really want to poach that person.

"Sister Zhao, I run a legitimate entertainment company, otherwise you wouldn't be here. With a girl like this, her looks and qualities could make her a huge star with just a little makeover."

"These days, who doesn't like money?"

Zhao Xiaolan impatiently pushed the fat man aside and warned him.

"Fatty, this kid is still a minor and lives in the military compound. You can't afford to mess with him. You'd better give up your ideas as soon as possible."

Upon hearing the words "military compound," the fat man shrank back.

He's definitely not someone you can mess with.

However, their leader should be able to.

The fat man took Zhao Xiaolan to the recording studio and then left.

He turned and went into the office, then picked up the phone.

Zhao Xiaolan greeted the sound engineer.

"Old Chen, please, make sure you record it well, show your best, and you'll get a good reward later."

The sound engineer, Chen, responded with a smile.

Zhao Xiaolan handed the sheet music to Li Tian, ​​asking her to familiarize herself with the melody and get a feel for it.

"Songs that are selected must be grand and solemn, and our song also needs to have some deep emotion and warmth. Most importantly, the emotions must be sincere, full, and full of vitality."

"I wanted to find young people to sing because of this last factor."

Li Tian listened attentively to the teachings.

This is the creator's most authentic expression.

A singer's job is to express the emotions that the creator wants to convey.

Li Tian began to hum softly.

I felt it was about time, so I sang it for Zhao Xiaolan.

Zhao Xiaolan pointed out two minor issues.

After thinking it over and making some adjustments, Li Tian sang it again, and Zhao Xiaolan was very satisfied.

The recording was also completed in one take.

Since it's a sample tape, it doesn't need fine-tuning; it just needs to be able to infect people.

"Li Tian, ​​it was a pleasure working with you. If there are any songs that suit you, I'll contact you again."

Li Tian also likes Zhao Xiaolan.

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Zhao. I've learned a lot from you."

Zhao Xiaolan waved her hand.

Good singers are all blessed with natural talent.

Without that voice, even if someone gives you pointers, it's still a stretch.

There's a world of difference between something that sounds good and something that sounds nice.

"I'll see you out. Contact me if you hear anything."

"OK."

The two walked out while talking.

They had just stepped out of the gate when the fat man and his men blocked their way.

"Ms. Li, our boss would like to discuss a collaboration with you."

Li Tian sized up the fat man, then glanced at a black sedan not far away.

There were no cars parked there when I came in.

Li Tian reached out and shook hands with Zhao Xiaolan.

"Sister Zhao, you go ahead and do your work, I can handle it."

Zhao Xiaolan wanted to say something more, but the fat man forcibly dragged her away.

Li Tian didn't look at the people around her and continued walking out.

The man then took a few steps and blocked Li Tian's path.

"Please get in the car, miss, so we can talk."

Li Tian's face darkened.

What if I say no?

The man bent over.

"Miss, our boss's surname is Zhu, do you know him?"

Wishing you prosperity and happiness?

Li Tian glanced at the black car, showing absolutely no intention of getting in and sitting down.

With a casual swing of his denim bag, he swept the man blocking his way aside.

He lifted his leg and walked away.

The man inside the car had no choice but to get out.
