Chapter 362 Thanks to you, Mr. Y!
"...With you personally handling the recording, this song will definitely be recorded perfectly." As Sister Ru spoke, she subtly raised her hand and gently patted Lin Yourong's arm.
Lin Yourong immediately understood and, the moment Sister Ru finished speaking, expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Director Hu."
Hu Jiyan quickly waved his hand, a warm smile appearing on his face.
He said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. I'm just really interested. It would be even better if I could arrange the music—haha, just kidding. This song is indeed very charming, and I look forward to seeing you perform it perfectly."
Sister Ru smiled, revealing her clean, white teeth.
Her face was full of trust in Lin Yourong, and she interjected, "Susu will definitely do her best to perform this song to the best of her ability. I have complete confidence in her!"
Hu Jiyan nodded, then slowly turned around and carefully took the sheet music down from the music stand.
Immediately, he raised his arm high and handed the sheet music to Lin Yourong, who was on the keyboard side of the arrangement section.
Hu Jiyan's eyes behind his glasses were gentle as he asked, "Lin Su, you're probably planning to record 'The Wind on the Way Home' first, right?"
Lin Yourong took the sheet music with both hands and said softly, "It's not certain yet. It depends on Mr. Y. He decides which song to arrange first."
"I understand." Hu Jiyan paused thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something important.
He stood up and strode quickly to the desk on the inside of the room.
He went straight to the back cabinet, bent down to open the cabinet door, and took out a blue brocade box with both hands.
Hu Jiyan turned around, his eyes full of sincerity and goodwill, and smiled at Lin Yourong, saying, "Lin Su, a friend from Jingdezhen gave me two tea sets last time. I'm using the blue and white porcelain set myself, and here's another set of famille rose porcelain that I haven't touched. I see you like drinking tea, so I'll give you this tea set."
Lin Yourong was putting the rolled-up sheet music into her crossbody bag when she suddenly heard these words and was immediately stunned.
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me, a mixture of surprise and confusion.
She seems to really enjoy drinking tea?
She does like drinking tea, but it's milk tea...
Just now, when Liang Qiaobo and Shang Wenjie were still there, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only choose to drink tea to cover up her slight unease.
Could it be that she observed the tea set too closely, which caught Hu Jiyan's attention and led him to misunderstand that she liked tea ceremony?
After a slight pause, Lin Yourong quickly waved her hand and declined, saying, "Director Hu, you're too kind. I don't know much about tea sets, so it would be a waste to give them to me. Thank you for your kindness, but Director Hu, please keep them for yourself."
Hearing her soft yet firm voice, Hu Jiyan walked up to Lin Yourong without stopping and said with a warm smile, "Lin Su, don't say that. This tea set is just sitting unused in the cabinet, and it's not anything particularly valuable. Just accept it, don't be polite with me."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru turned to Lin Yourong and said with a smile, "Susu, Director Hu already said it's nothing valuable. He's being so sincere, so don't refuse!"
Hu Jiyan nodded slightly and then said to Sister Ru, "Jingru, this is my first time dealing with Lin Su. Before, I knew her but she didn't know me, so I'll give her this tea set for now. I'll have a friend bring me another set next time. We've known each other for so many years, we can't be biased, can we?"
Sister Ru looked at him with a smile in her eyes as he was so considerate.
It truly made her feel as if she had been away from home for three days and should be looked at with new eyes.
"Old Hu, you're still as thoughtful and considerate as ever." Sister Ru nodded and reached out to help Lin Yourong take the tea set. "Alright, I knew you were a loyal and devoted person, always ready to help your friends!"
As soon as Sister Ru finished speaking, Lin Yourong saw this and then spoke up, softly saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Director Hu."
Hu Jiyan said with a smile, "Lin Su, there's no need to be so polite with me. Just focus on preparing for the song recording and the competition song for 'I Am a Singer.' If you have any questions, feel free to come to me anytime."
"Well done, Lao Hu! No wonder you're doing so well now!" Sister Ru nodded at him with admiration. "You've got a real knack for dealing with people!"
Hu Jiyan pursed his lips upon hearing Sister Ru's praise.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, clearly pleased by his old friend's praise.
Hu Jiyan suppressed his secret joy, coughed slightly, and said modestly, "Jingru, please don't joke with me. This is just experience I've accumulated over many years of working in the industry."
Lin Yourong, who had been listening to their cheerful conversation for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak softly, "Excuse me for a moment—"
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru immediately nodded in understanding.
She also said to Hu Jiyan, "Old Hu, I'm going to the restroom with Susu."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here," Hu Jiyan replied with a smile.
Sister Ru held the blue brocade box in both hands and first took a step toward the coffee table.
Her steps were light and steady. After placing it properly, she turned around and led Lin Yourong toward the door.
Only after they went outside did Sister Ru slow down her pace and wait for Lin Yourong to come up beside her.
Sister Ru chuckled, her words filled with excitement and surprise: "Susu, we've had quite a fruitful trip today!"
"Is that so?" Lin Yourong responded softly.
Sister Ru said without a doubt, "Yes! Susu, you really are blessed with good fortune and many helpers. This trip has been so smooth! Most importantly, you've made friends with Liang Qiaobo, and he even offered to join our dinner party."
"I thought you were talking about tea sets." Lin Yourong pursed her lips under her mask and chuckled softly, "Sister Ru, let nature take its course, it's just good luck."
Sister Ru thought for a moment, then smiled and said in a low voice, "Luck is also part of ability! But then again, it's all thanks to you, Mr. Y!"
Hearing this, Lin Yourong did not refute it.
She nodded slightly and made a soft "hmm" sound through her nose.
The two went to the restroom, and after returning to Hu Jiyan's office, they immediately got to the point and arranged a specific schedule with him.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Sister Ru immediately said goodbye to her old friend.
The three of them walked slowly to the second-floor hall, where Sister Ru, who was holding a brocade box in both hands, stopped.
She smiled and said to Hu Jiyan beside her, "Old Hu, let's stop here. You're quite busy, so please don't see us downstairs. Thank you so much for today."
"Why thank me, Jingru? Don't be so polite!" Hu Jiyan brushed a strand of hair back from his forehead. Although his hairline was receding, the movement was natural and casual. "Alright then, I'll stop here."
During the conversation, Lin Yourong walked up from the other side of Sister Ru.
Upon seeing her, Hu Jiyan immediately emphasized to Lin Yourong, "Lin Su, it's a promise, okay? Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions."
Lin Yourong nodded slightly: "I will, thank you, Director Hu."
"Okay, please take your time." Hu Jiyan smiled and waited for them to start walking before turning back into the corridor.
Lin Yourong and Sister Ru walked side by side, their pace neither hurried nor slow, descending the open staircase...
The lobby was sparsely populated, with simple ceiling lights casting a soft glow.
In the rest area, two people sit and one stands.
Xing Yujia, with her legs crossed, tilted her head back and took a sip of mineral water. Hearing the laughter of the receptionist in front of her, she couldn't help but chuckle along. The laughter echoed in the spacious lobby, as clear and melodious as silver bells.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps, like gentle drumbeats, entered Xing Yujia's ears.
She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw the two women. She quickly tightened the cap on her mineral water bottle and stood up to greet them.
The receptionist also turned around, and when she saw Lin Yourong and Sister Ru, a look of excitement appeared on her face.
Her eyes gleamed with a bright light, as if she wanted to say something, but she was a little embarrassed to speak, and her cheeks even blushed slightly.
Xing Yujia quickened her pace and came to the two sisters. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the blue brocade box that Sister Ru was holding.
A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she immediately reached out her hand, saying, "Sister Ru, is this heavy? Let me help you carry it."
Sister Ru smiled and said, "It's not heavy. Inside is a tea set, a gift from Director Hu."
"Oh!" Xing Yujia carefully held the brocade box in one hand, turned around, and followed the two of them step by step.
As she walked, she lowered her head to examine the brocade box, and said, "It feels very exquisite."
“That’s Jingdezhen porcelain!” Sister Ru replied casually, then subconsciously raised the ceramic bracelet on her wrist and glanced at it.
I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.
Although they were all Jingdezhen porcelain, she knew that these ceramic bracelets weren't actually worth much money.
However, since it was bought by Susu when she was out having fun, I remembered that she had a gift too. It was a small gift but a big sentiment.
Mr. Y and Su Su both wore it on their hands the whole time!
The receptionist watched as Xing Yujia, with whom she had been chatting for quite some time, joined Lin Su. Her excitement was like a volcano about to erupt, which she could no longer contain.
Originally, she was only 80% sure that the person in front of her was the female singer Lin Su, but after some clever indirect questioning, she became 100% sure.
Lin Su walked at a leisurely pace, getting closer and closer to her.
She felt her cheeks burning, as if they were being scorched by the blazing sun.
The receptionist gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and then jogged over to Lin Su.
Looking at her beautiful features through the brim of the hat and the mask, she said with a hint of nervousness, "Um... are you Lin Su? I really like your songs, could you sign my autograph?"
Lin Yourong stopped and looked calmly and gently at the other person's eyes, which were filled with expectation and trepidation, as if they were afraid of being rejected.
She was used to this kind of scene and felt little emotional. She simply nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay."
The gentle voice soothed the receptionist's heart, instantly easing her tension considerably.
The receptionist clapped her hands happily and hurriedly pulled a pen and a small black notebook from her pocket.
After preparing for a long time, she handed the song to Lin Yourong with trembling hands and said excitedly, "That's great! Lin Su, I really, really love your songs, every single one of them is amazing!"
Hearing this, Sister Ru asked with a hint of teasing, "So, what's your favorite song by Su Su?"
Without hesitation, the receptionist uttered four words in a resounding voice: "Echoes of the Rainbow!"
Sister Ru knew in her heart that this little girl was only a casual fan because she was using Lin Su's full name. If she were a sapling, she would only call her "Su Su".
Therefore, being able to name the songs by Su Su already indicates that one is quite interested.
Sister Ru nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You have great taste! I also love 'Echoes of the Rainbow' the most!"
Susu has released one album and two singles so far, and this is indeed her favorite song.
Lin Yourong's slender fingers held the black ballpoint pen steadily, and it danced across the notebook, leaving a unique artistic signature, a long string from beginning to end.
Sister Ru glanced at Lin Yourong's unique signature, which resembled "ghostly scribbles," and immediately felt relieved.
A handwritten signature is a very important thing, and it has a certain legal effect, especially on blank paper, which is easily abused by criminals.
So generally, if someone comes with a blank piece of paper asking for an autograph, she will refuse if she is nearby.
However, Lin Yourong has been in the industry for more than half a year, so there is obviously no need for her to remind her of this.
Lin Yourong quickly handed the notebook and pen back to the receptionist.
Seeing her clutching the notebook tightly, as if it were a precious treasure, with a happy smile on her face, she excitedly said, "Lin Su, I will always support you! Thank you for signing this for me!"
Lin Yourong smiled slightly beneath her mask, saying, "You're welcome."
The receptionist nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with affection and respect for Lin Yourong. Watching them leave, she jumped up and down with joy.
Having interned at Mousse Music for several months, Lin Su is the most popular singer whose autograph she managed to snag.
That aura—
She truly deserves the title of "flower of wealth and honor in the world"!
Unfortunately, Lin Su was wearing a hat and a mask today, and it was obvious that she wasn't wearing makeup.
She secretly regretted that she could have taken a photo with him!
However, she also thought with anticipation that Lin Su had clearly come to discuss work.
There should be other opportunities in the future, right?
……
In the blink of an eye, dusk had gradually settled on the horizon.
With the year-end approaching, the work schedule has been quite intensive recently. The new media department has also undergone a round of expansion. By the time Yu Huan finished her routine short meeting, it was already almost 5:30.
When he uttered the words "Meeting adjourned," the once quiet workspace was immediately filled with a cacophony of noise once more.
Yu Huan, who was already prepared, quickly put on a mask to cover her face, turned around and walked briskly towards the stairwell.
In just a few minutes, he strode down to the first floor.
Yu Huan let out a long sigh, feeling her heartbeat gradually quicken, and hurried out the door.
It was already quite late, and we still had to rush to have dinner with Lin Yourong and the others, fearing that we would be bothered by people asking for autographs and photos.
Dusk enveloped the streets, and the streetlights gradually came on, emitting a dim, yellowish glow.
Yu Huan walked towards the parking lot, her steps hurried, her shadow stretching long under the lights.
After finding the BMW, Yu Huan quickly opened the car door, got in, started the engine, and waited for it to warm up. While waiting, he took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the restaurant address his wife had sent him.
