Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

The way to get to know Fan Xiaoxuan was very simple.

She signed with Linfair Records in Taiwan.

Qin Sheng happened to know a singer from Linfair Records, Na Ying.

Na Ying still holds considerable influence at Fu Mao, making it easy for her to set up a connection.

Picking up the hotel phone, Qin Sheng dialed Na Ying's number directly.

The call was connected quickly.

"Hello, who is this?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was Na Ying's highly distinctive Northeastern accent.

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "Then, sister, it's me, Qin Sheng."

Upon hearing Qin Sheng's voice, Na Ying burst out laughing.

"Hey, Sheng! You're off having a blast in Taiwan, and you still remember to call your sister? That's rare!"

After giving Na Ying a few polite compliments, Qin Sheng got down to business.

"Sister, there's a small favor I'd like to ask you for."

"I knew you wouldn't come here without a reason. So, what is it?"

"When I was in mainland China, I really liked a singer named Fan Xiaoxuan."

We happen to work at the same company, and I heard you two are quite familiar with each other. Could you help me make connections and introduce me to someone?

On the other end of the phone, Na Ying first clicked her tongue, then chuckled teasingly:

"Fan Xiaoxuan! I know her, but why should I introduce you?"

You little rascal, don't think I don't know what kind of bad ideas you're up to.

Are you trying to flirt with her because she's cute?

Qin Sheng just chuckled when he heard Na Ying teasing him.

He was caught cheating on his wife in the capital by Zeng Li, and then used tricks to force Zeng Li to accept his philandering. Liu Huan, Na Ying and the others all knew about it.

When the group ate dinner afterwards, Liu Huan and the others said a few words to him, but they didn't really take it to heart.

In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is commonplace and extremely ordinary.

No one would use this kind of thing as a standard for making friends.

If we really use this kind of thing as a standard, then no one should make friends.

After all, no one is cleaner than anyone else.

Qin Sheng knew that Na Ying was just teasing him, so he pretended to be serious and smiled:

"Sister, what are you thinking?"

I simply like her songs and want to get to know her and discuss music with her.

Na Ying snorted disdainfully.

Do you like Fan Xiaoxuan's songs?

You're kidding me, Ah Sheng!

Fan Xiaoxuan is a children's song singer, and you're telling me you like her songs? You're kidding me!

Or you can swear to me that you will never take Fan Xiaoxuan to a hotel to discuss music, and I'll introduce you to her.

After some playful tugging and teasing, Na Ying finally relented.

"Okay, I'll call the music director at Fu Mao and tell her about this."

"Haha, thank you, Sister Na. I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back to Beijing."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Sheng was in a great mood.

I'm about to fulfill my childhood dream of meeting my idol and make myself happy.

The fact that his "scumbag" persona is gaining more and more acceptance makes him happy.

Not long after I hung up the phone, another call came in.

It was a woman who claimed to be the music director of Linfair Records, named Zhang Lan.

We cordially invite Qin Sheng to visit Fu Mao Records tomorrow.

Qin Sheng considered it for a moment and set the time for tomorrow afternoon.

He expects to finish all the lyrics and music for Harlem and the other three by tomorrow afternoon.

Then you can go to the appointment in a relaxed and stress-free manner.

The following afternoon, when Lin Linan received the lyrics and music from Qin Sheng with a look of surprise, before she could even thank him, Qin Sheng had already left with Sister Zhao without looking back.

Lin Linan was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

Qin Shengcai didn't care what Lin Linan thought.

This side is all about business; that side is where life is.

After getting into the van, the two headed straight for Linfair Records.

In the car, Sister Zhao briefly asked Qin Sheng what he thought.

Qin Sheng had no need to hide anything from his agent; he bluntly stated that he wanted to pursue her.

After hearing this, Sister Zhao nodded.

That's enough; there's no need to say anything more.

As Ah Sheng's agent, I know exactly what I need to do.

Linfair Records has arrived.

After going upstairs and giving my name to the receptionist, I was quickly greeted by several people who came out of the office area.

The leader was a middle-aged woman with a capable demeanor and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Her style is somewhat similar to Sister Zhao's.

Sister Zhao clearly recognized the other person. She first smiled and shook hands with him before turning to introduce him to Qin Sheng:

"This is Mr. Zhang Lan, the music director of Linfair Records."

Seeing Qin Sheng looking at her, Zhang Lan stretched out her hands with a big smile, even bending down at the waist.

"Mr. Qin's presence is truly an honor to our humble abode, Fumao!"

Zhang Lan's attitude was extremely enthusiastic, even a little too enthusiastic.

Given Qin Sheng's current sales and popularity, it's certainly possible that record company executives in Taiwan would warmly welcome him.

But normally, these arrogant executives from Taiwan shouldn't be this enthusiastic.

The real reason Zhang Lan acted this way was due to the rumors circulating in the industry these past two days.

It's been going viral in our circle these past two days!

Everyone's saying that Qin Sheng, who came from the mainland, has talent that's beyond belief!

They can even tailor-make hit songs for singers based on their personal characteristics!

Note that this is not an ordinary song tailor-made for you, it's a golden hit!

There are now seven tailor-made hit songs that have been released!

Na Ying's "Conquer", Mao Amin's "Longing", Zeng Li's "Red-Clad Actress", Harlin's "Spring Mud", Meng Tingwei's "Moonlight in the City", Lin Zhixuan's "Single Love Song", and Li Wen's "Dao Ma Dan".

According to these singers' private statements, they all praised Qin Sheng's songs highly.

He claims it's at least one of the top three best works of his career!

With this reputation, which record company wouldn't welcome Qin Sheng?

Zhang Lan shook hands with Qin Sheng warmly while showering him with compliments.

Qin Sheng responded politely, "Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. Just call me A-Sheng."

Although they were holding hands, Qin Sheng's heart was not with Zhang Lan.

His eyes kept scanning behind Zhang Lan.

Behind Zhang Lan stood a girl with pigtails, wearing overalls, who was very pretty, cute, and full of youthful energy.

The girl was Fan Xiaoxuan.

Seeing Qin Sheng's eyes sweep over her, Fan Xiaoxuan gave him a bright and cheerful smile.

Zhang Lan also noticed Qin Sheng's gaze. Recalling Ying's subtle hints over the phone, Zhang Lan smoothly ended the small talk and turned to the side, revealing Fan Xiaoxuan.

"Ah Sheng, this is Xiao Xuan. I heard from Sister Na that you admire Xiao Xuan a lot. Haha, it's truly our honor!"

After saying that, Zhang Lan grabbed Fan Xiaoxuan's hand and pulled her in front of Qin Sheng.

"Xiaoxuan, you and Asheng are both young people, you must get along well and help each other in the future!"
