Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Zhang Shaohan practiced with Song Mo for over an hour in a daze.

It wasn't until the afternoon that I finally got those movements right.

Although it's not exactly beautiful, at least it's not awkward anymore, and it should be fine in front of the camera.

At this moment, Teacher Zhou returned to the practice room. Seeing the situation, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. Angela has improved very quickly; she just needs to consolidate her skills when she gets back."

Angela Chang let out a long sigh, plopped down on the ground, and gulped down several mouthfuls of water from the bottle.

Song Mo handed her a towel, which she took and used to wipe her face. She looked up at him and suddenly smiled.

"Am I stupid?" she asked.

"No." Song Mo sat down next to her. "You sing so well, it's normal that your dancing is a little bad. God is fair."

Angela Chang was amused by his words and rolled her eyes at him: "Are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Of course I'm praising you," Song Mo said seriously.

As the two were talking, Xu Yuan pushed the door open and came in with a smile on his face.

He couldn't wait to say, "Xiao Song, great news! Jin Zhuo has agreed. He said he saw your song and is very interested. He'll fly to Yanjing in the next few days to talk to you in person."

Song Mo's eyes lit up: "So fast?"

"He happened to be free," Xu Yuan said. "Teacher Bi called him and they hit it off. He said your song is very evocative, and he already has some ideas in mind."

Song Mo nodded, feeling relieved.

With Jin Zhuo agreeing to come, the entire album's music videos now have a reliable person in charge.

"Okay," Song Mo stood up, "then we'll wait for him to arrive before we talk about it."

Angela Chang, listening nearby, asked curiously, "Jin Zhuo? Our Jin Zhuo from Fu Mao?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot you're also from Fu Mao." Song Mo suddenly remembered this and said with a smile, "I should have asked you to help with the invitation."

After practicing dance for a whole morning, the two had gotten to know each other quite well. Hearing Song Mo say this, Angela Chang shook her head, "Luckily, they didn't ask me. I can't be of much help. I've never even filmed a music video myself, and I'm not familiar with Teacher Jin."

Song Mo wasn't surprised by this. Jin Zhuo does have some influence in the industry right now. Although Angela Zhang is also affiliated with Fu Mao, she hasn't debuted as a singer yet, so she naturally can't get in touch with him.

"Then you can get to know Teacher Jin. Maybe you'll even need him to film the music video for your first album," Song Mo said seriously.

Angela Chang nodded seriously, thinking to herself that she really needed to get along well with Jin Zhuo.

For the next few days, Song Mo and Angela Chang basically practiced dancing in the morning and recorded songs in the afternoon.

Even so, the recording of "Happy Worship" went even more smoothly than Song Mo and Guo Liang had anticipated.

Angela Chang's vocal qualities are undeniable, and coupled with her exceptional understanding of the song, she grasped the essence of the few details Guo Liang requested after just two tries.

The female vocals were recorded from beginning to end in less than three days.

"Your voice is a gift from God." Guo Liang took off his headphones behind the mixing console, rubbed his ears, and said with an air of admiration.

As Angela Chang emerged from the recording studio, she smiled and said, "It's because the song is well-written and the melody flows smoothly that it's easy to sing."

Song Mo listened from the side and nodded silently. He accepted the praise without hesitation.

That same evening after filming, Song Mo invited Angela Chang and Julie to have Peking duck together.

Previously, I hadn't considered the recording session, so I didn't want to treat them to such greasy food. Now that the recording is finished, I don't have that worry anymore.

Xu Yuan chose the location; it was an old-established restaurant near Wangfujing. The storefront wasn't large, but it was said to have been open for over twenty years, and many people in Beijing recognized it.

Song Mo booked a private room in advance to avoid having to wait in line.

When the roast duck was served, Julie's eyes shone even brighter than when she saw Song Mo.

"Wow, it smells so good!" She picked up her chopsticks, took a slice of duck meat, dipped it in the sweet bean sauce, wrapped it with scallions and cucumber, and popped it into her mouth. Her eyes narrowed into slits. "So delicious! Much better than the ones in Taipei!"

Song Mo said with a smile, "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you."

Julie has indeed toned down a lot these past few days. I don't know if it's because her attempts to seduce him have failed for several days, or because she finally realized that Song Mo really doesn't have any feelings for her. In any case, tonight she didn't go near Song Mo anymore. Instead, she sat quietly next to Angela Chang and turned her appetite into motivation, finishing most of a plate of duck meat by herself.

Angela Chang, watching her assistant's eating habits, couldn't help but facepalm: "Julie, are you here to work or to eat?"

"Yes, yes," Julie mumbled, her mouth stuffed with food. "You've done your work, so you need to eat well too."

Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, picked up his teacup and took a sip, then said to Song Mo, "By the way, Jin Zhuo has made arrangements. He'll be in Yanjing the day after tomorrow. I discussed it with Teacher Bi. After he arrives, he'll look at your materials first, and then we'll finalize the MV plan for 'Happy Worship' and try to finish filming before the end of the year."

Song Mo nodded: "Okay, let's hurry up then."

He turned to Angela Chang and said, "The sooner you finish recording, the sooner you can go back home for the New Year."

Angela Chang paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah, it's better to finish filming sooner."

She lowered her head, picked up a piece of duck meat, and chewed it slowly, her face expressionless.

But deep down, I didn't really want to go home.

She returned to Taiwan from Canada alone at the age of fifteen to pursue her dreams, participating in singing competitions, signing contracts, acting, and waiting for album releases—she carried it all on her own.

Her father is in poor health and has been living in Canada. Her mother occasionally comes to Taipei to see her, but every time they meet, she asks for money.

The only person she cared about was her younger sister, who was a year younger than her.

"What are you thinking about?" Song Mo asked when he saw her lost in thought.

Angela Chang snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "It's nothing, I just missed my sister."

"Is your sister also in Taiwan?" Song Mo asked.

"She studies fashion design in Canada, but she also loves to sing. If she knew I could sing songs like 'Happy Worship,' she would be so happy for me."

As she spoke, she laughed to herself.

Looking at her, Song Mo suddenly felt that this girl was different from usual.

In the recording studio, she is a serious, strong-willed, and competitive singer.

When we talk about her younger sister now, she's just an ordinary older sister.

"Soon," Song Mo said. "I'll send you the album as soon as it comes out, and then you can let your sister listen to it and tell her that it's sung by her older sister."

Angela Chang glanced at him, her eyes shining: "Then you'll have to give me an autograph. I have a feeling you'll become a big star."

"Haha, okay, I'll take your good wishes. I'll sign a stack for you to give away later."

Julie, who had been listening nearby, finally looked up from her duck meat and muttered, "I want some too."

"You'll get your share," Song Mo said.

Julie nodded in satisfaction and continued eating.
