Ye Xingguang was surprised, “Mr. Gu, how did you know?”
Old Mr. Gu pointed to his ears, “The emotion within the music can’t be deceiving. For the same song, a thousand people would sing it in a thousand different ways, no one else could reproduce the same melody from the piano last night, other than the person who played it. Young miss, you’re in love, aren’t you?”
“No! ” Ye Xingguang responded definitively.
The old man laughed without saying anything.
“Really, no!” Ye Xingguang scratched her hair in frustration.
“Didn’t you manage to get the person last night?” Ye Xingguang:
“Did you manage to get that person today?”
Why is Mr Gu so nosy?
Can’t we just discuss business?
“Mr. Gu, do you still want to buy my composition?”
Mr. Gu spoke leisurely, “No need to rush, we’ll be in detention for 15 days anyway, we can take our time with the deal. Seeing as you don’t seem overly happy about my interest in your music, unlike other girls of your age, why don’t we sit down and have a chat, and get to know each other a bit more?” That’s not how you build relationships.
“You really do play well, Young miss. The distinctive fingering in several sections of your music reminds me of someone…” Mr. Gu seemed lost in his thoughts, his tone filled with lingering regret.
With her chin resting on her hand, Ye Xingguang responded dismissively, “Oh.”
Ye Xingguang, who had a strong desire for revenge, grunted, ‘Yeah.”
One was curious, another showed no interest at all – a stark contrast.
this time, it was Mr. Gu e s turn to lose his temper.
Wouldn’t she want to know who he was reminded of?
From the very first time he heard her performance the previous night, Mr. Gu noticed similarities between her composition and that of his ex-wife, which was partly why he was keen on searching for her on social media.
Seeing her performance again today, he was even more convinced of the traces of his ex-wife’s teaching in her playing. After getting excited for hours over his discovery, was he meant to put up with her indifferent attitude?
Unable to contain himself, Nir. Gu blurted out: “That person was my ex-wife. Her achievement in music was even higher than mine. We’ve been divorced for over twenty years and during that time, she simply disappeared from the world. Young girl, who is your piano teacher?”
Ye Xingguang saw Mr. Gu e s photo at Grandma Shen’s place and knew that he was her ex-husband, but she chose not to respond.
“Mr. Gu, I’m not selling the song, but we can negotiate a profit-sharing agreement. I also want the right to be credited under my pen name, Yue Xi.”
With no other choice, Mr. Gu resorts to a bait: “Alright, we can share the profits. You’re talented, young girl. Are you willing to pursue a career as a composer? If you can produce good compositions in the future, I’ll purchase them all and we can share the profits equally.”
Wow, that’s a significant amount if we were to split 50-50.
“Are you really that impressed with my song, Mr. Gu?”
“If all your songs are of this quality, then you have my utmost admiration. You have talent in music and your appearance and temperament are also quite pleasing. Would you be interested in entering the music industry as a singer-songwriter? But first, you must tell me, who’s your piano teacher?”
Just as he was speaking, the cell door was suddenly swung open and the guard called out Ye Xingguangs name: “Ye Xingguang, you can leave.”
His face stiffened: “I thought it was fifteen days of detention?”
We haven’t finished discussing our negotiation. It’s related to the rest of my life and the future star of the music world.. How can she leave!
