The Zhao family's old house is located in a less crowded area on the outskirts of the city. The old house is decades old, and it is an "old house" in the true sense.

Yuanshang grew up here in his previous life, and he knew every plant and tree here by heart. He took Yu Shuimiao to the back door of the yard, and easily opened the small door hidden in the creeper with a small key. .

"I don't know if the house is powered off now. There is surveillance at the front door, and no one knows about the back door. I used to live outside, and I only came back occasionally. I was worried about losing the key, so I kept the key here." Yuan Yuan Shangpa pulled back the same dense vine leaves on the outer wall of the house, and saw that the back door was not sealed, so he smiled. As soon as he opened the door, a dull breath rushed all over his face.

"Come in." He got in, greeted Yu Shuimiao again, then looked around the room, and sighed, "I haven't come back for more than a year since I had a health problem. Alas, there is no one in the house." Living is easy to get old.”

He didn't exaggerate, this house is really old, the two-story building, from the layout to the decoration, reveals the old-fashioned atmosphere in every way, but the smell of books is so strong that people can see it in an indescribable way. comfortability.Yu Shuimiao took a look around, looked away from the bookshelf that stretched almost the entire wall, and then landed on the small table at the entrance. Yuanshang had already stepped forward to pick up the two photo frames placed on it, Gently wipe away the thin dust with the sleeve.That's why he came here. After finding the photos of his parents, he smiled contentedly and asked Yu Shuimiao, "When is the auction here?"

He was the last member of the household and had no heirs to choose. After his death, the house was nationalized by the relevant units.According to normal procedures, the auction will be conducted after the internal value has been counted.

"It is said that we have to wait until May or June next year." Yu Shuimiao had inquired about it a long time ago, and knew that his old friend had a deep affection for this old house, but he was still a little worried, "Do you want to take pictures of this place back? Ren Pingsheng But I also know your old house, so you are not afraid of being guessed by him?"

"I'm afraid of him?" Yuanshang put away the photo and snorted lightly, "What do you think he can do to me? Have you read too many science fiction novels?"

Yu Shuimiao was right to think about it, if Yuanshang hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door, even he himself would not believe that there is such a strange thing as resurrection in the world.So he felt relieved and said, "However, I think the valuation of this house should not be low. Although the location is a little remote, but you have a lot of books in your home and such an expensive piano, it will be sold at least more than 1000 million by then."

The piano Yu Shuimiao mentioned was a Steinway placed in the corner of the first floor. It is not the most expensive model, but it costs 200 million yuan. It has been passed down in the Zhao family for two generations, and the lacquer is still shining brightly.Yu Shuimiao's conservative valuation of 1000 million for such a large old house with a collection of books and a piano is nothing more than comforting an old friend who is not well-off at the moment. After fiddling left and right, he heard a muffled click, and then he stretched out his hand, and slowly slid a bookcase that was full to the side.

Yu Shuimiao looked in shock at the narrow room that should have been a wall behind: "!!!!???"

Why is there a secret room in the house where I played hide-and-seek since childhood?Is this Nima filming a spy drama? !

"I knew this place would definitely not be counted." There was no trace of tampering with anything here. Yuanshang turned on the phone's light, touched a wishful-looking ornament at hand, and explained with a smile, "Is it surprising? I am the first The first time I saw it, I was very scared, and then I realized why some things were put away by my parents when I was a child, and I couldn’t find them anymore. My father said that the house was built for a study at first, but later found that it was very hidden. , I put all the valuable things at home in it, so I don’t worry about thieves thinking about it. Some antiques from my father, jewelry from my mother, and some musical instruments..."

He knelt down, dragged out the case with difficulty, opened it, and took out a violin from inside.

Yu Shuimiao illuminated him with a lamp, watched the other party's slender and white fingers caressing the maroon paint on the surface of the piano, finally regained consciousness, and looked around.He had seen the vases and jade wares on the wall shelves. He didn't know the goods very well, but he also knew that they were very valuable. He immediately felt awe of the pair of uncles and aunts who passed away and lived a low-key life.

"So, you don't have to worry too much about me. I can get this house back for tens of millions. I'm so happy that it's too late. Even if it's the storage fee and name change fee paid to the government, this price is very good. Arrive There is still a period of time in May and June next year, I will work hard to save money, and I will borrow it from you if there is not enough." Yuanshang seemed to have touched enough, carefully put the piano back into the flannelette, and snapped the box closed Get up, put your back on your back, "Oh, it won't work if you don't maintain it for too long, the paint surface is going to crack."

*******

Putting the portraits of his parents in the room, offering a fruit plate, and oiling and rosining the violin carefully, Yuanshang was still a little disappointed.He was lying on the sofa, covered with a blanket and staring at the night view outside the window in a daze. Both Aunt Liu and Aunt You thought he was tired from work, and they crowded in the kitchen to discuss how to cook soup. As soon as Qin Huo entered, he felt that his home was different from the past. breath.

He looked towards the living room, and saw that Yuanshang was lying there motionless, and he had an inexplicable intuition in his heart, telling him that Yuanshang was unhappy.

Yuan Shang will also be unhappy?

In Qin Huo's impression, the other party is simply the embodiment of positive energy. What is it that makes such a person fall into a depressed mood?However, after guessing in his heart for a long time, the two aunts still behaved normally. Qin Huo went into the house to put his bags and then went out to drink water.

Yuanshang was falling into the contemplation of the past when he heard a hoarse voice above his head: "What happened?"

What?Yuanshang stood up and saw Qin Huo standing not far away looking at him. Although the other party was holding a water glass that blocked half of his face, he could still find a touch of concern in those indifferent eyes.Having lived together for so long, it was rare for the other party to take the initiative to talk to him, and the topic was still about caring about himself, Yuan Shang was a little flattered.He asked himself that his ability to camouflage his emotions was extraordinary, and he could even deceive two aunts who were usually very caring and close to him. Unexpectedly, Qin Huo could see through him at a glance, which made him feel a little close to the other party in a strange way.

"Mr. Qin." This sense of intimacy prompted him to ask a somewhat transcendent question, "Do you usually miss your parents?"

Qin Huo was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly he didn't feel offended, and when he recalled the other party's family background, he became somewhat clearer.Perhaps it was due to sympathy, or perhaps it was because he had been depressed for a long time and really wanted to talk to someone. Qin Huo was quiet for a while, but in the end he did not turn around and leave. Instead, he took his tea and sat down on the small sofa nearby.

"meeting."

This gentle answer instantly dissipated the long-standing embarrassing estrangement between the two of them. When Aunt You came out of the kitchen, she thought her eyes were blurred. Are those two people in the living room chatting? !

Although Yuanshang was talking most of the time, Qin Huo just sat there and listened quietly, but this did not affect the deep relaxed atmosphere between the two.After working in Qin Huo's house for so many years, it was the first time that Aunt You saw her boss sitting in such a relaxed posture, which softened his temperament.

It seems that the whole house has become warm and harmonious.

Aunt You smiled and turned around, just in time to meet Aunt Liu who was about to come out with a pot, so she hurriedly stopped her and made a booing gesture.

Aunt Liu was stunned for a while, and looked out with her head, her face was also full of surprise.Immediately afterwards, he covered his mouth to cover up the happy smile on his face, and hid in the kitchen together with his old friend.

The lights are bright, the crowds are dense, and it becomes difficult to drive when the car comes here. Sun Hanqing lay by the window and looked at the crowded sidewalks on both sides, and couldn't help shaking his head: "I heard that the organizer of Huadian Music this time The "RNB" group from South Korea has invited them over, look at how many fans have come here. Is the organizer sick? Huadian Music invited a bunch of foreigners to accept the award."

"Chasing" was shortlisted for Huadian Music's best single of the year. This is one of the few music festivals in China that can do it. Yuanshang has been busy with the preparation of the album recently, but for this reason, he still took it out of his tight schedule. It was only because the first best album trophy he won in his previous life was from Huadian Music's podium.Hua Dian music was so beautiful back then, its influence spread far and wide overseas, the red carpet was crowded with media from all over the world, the criteria for shortlisting and selection were extremely strict, and it was always only the domain of Chinese singers.But now, even though it is the number one award for Chinese music, the weight is obviously not as good as before. The biggest gimmick used for publicity this year turned out to be the invitation of a group of famous overseas singers.

Fans from various houses outside seem to be still busy with the preparations. The words "RNB" appearing on the lamps running around are amazing. Yuanshang's eyes fell on a chubby cute little girl holding her name, her eyes were gentle , but the tone was very helpless: "Is there any way, the entertainment industry should be the most severely invaded by culture in all industries?"

Sun Hanqing also sighed. Could it be that what he said was not the truth?Due to impetuous creation, backward marketing, immature packaging, high artist remuneration, etc., the domestic entertainment industry chain has fallen into a quagmire.The high coverage rate of the Internet has caused countless undercurrents to surge under the vibrant appearance of this industry. Hype is more important than strength, which will inevitably lead to fewer and fewer people who study the works carefully.Not only the music circle, but also the film and TV circle, and even the variety show commercials, the entertainment culture of Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, are constantly pouring in with powerful forces that are difficult to resist.

The car stopped suddenly, and the staff maintaining order came to knock on the window. Sun Hanqing asked, "What's going on?"

The driver turned his head and said: "It is said that there is a train team that is late, and they are in the back. Let us give way and let them go first."

Entering the venue early and leaving the venue at the finale are based on status, but being late for this kind of party and disrupting the driving process of others is a bit too arrogant.Sun Hanqing cursed insanity in a low voice, but Yuanshang didn't have a deep background now, so he couldn't conflict with those big names, so he could only follow suit and moved the car to the side with difficulty.

The luxurious convoy arrived late, but when it first appeared on the first day of the new year, it aroused fanatical chanting from the fans outside the stadium, and the uniform foreign language cheers came one after another, until the two members of "RNB" stepped out of the car door with expressionless faces , suddenly escalated into a scream.

"Brother!!!! I love you!!!"

"Brother!! Look here!!!"

"Brother worked hard!!!!"

In the midst of shouting, the two of them just frowned and waved their hands back, without further expression, Jiang Xie, who got off the car, couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Cut, what are you pretending to be."

Ren Pingsheng caught this sentence, turned his head and gave him a disapproving look: "There are many people with mixed eyes, and walls have ears, so be careful in your words and deeds."

After he said that, he put on a smiling face and greeted him. There was no sense of humiliation as an old senior who had to make way for the younger generation. He spoke fluent English: "Long time no see."

Although "RNB" is usually arrogant, he still dare not underestimate a veteran singer like him. Coupled with Ren Pingsheng's accommodating language, the two groups quickly chatted enthusiastically, and the harmonious and intimate interaction murdered countless filmmakers for a while. Compared with the singer Qiqi who appeared later.Jiang Xie saw that the manager of the other party was not very friendly. After all, he couldn't bend and stretch like Ren Pingsheng, so he simply stayed aside and didn't say anything.When he just heard that his composition "Beautiful Summer" was shortlisted for the Huadian Music Best Single Award, he was still very excited. Even if he couldn't enjoy the honor alone, he was still flattered to be able to attend such a grand ceremony.

But right now, most of the pride in his heart has been wiped out by reality. Not to mention that there are heavyweight opponents such as "Chasing" in the shortlisted songs of the same group, just look at the way Ren Pingsheng is fighting for popularity with foreign singers. He can't be happy.While he was depressed and contemplating, the unstoppable cheers of the audience suddenly turned up two tunes, which attracted the two groups of people who were chatting with each other here, and couldn't help casting their eyes, and saw a commercial vehicle parked recently On and off, a glowing person.

Saying that the whole body is glowing is just a metaphor, but the moment the other party appeared, Jiang Xie did have the illusion that the spotlight was shining from the top of the other party's head.Compared with him, the two handsome guys of "RNB" who have always been selling handsome men and fashion are much rougher, and most of the cameras concentrated here have turned their backs and turned to each other to shoot desperately.The crowd outside the guardrail kept shouting neatly and enthusiastically: "Yuan Shang! Yuan Shang!!!"

"Ahhh!! Harakami!!"

"You're handsome!!!!"

"Harakami!!! Come on!!! We love you!!!"

……

Today, Yuanshang borrowed a set of haute couture from a brand he has recently collaborated with closely. The tailoring of the suit fits his figure very slenderly, and his hairstyle and collocation also take a stable line. The whole person looks extremely exquisite and high-end.Fans have seen too many beautiful pictures, and originally thought they would be immune to him in real life, but who knows that the exquisite face in the shot combined with the oppressive tall figure in reality, the lethality is even more astonishing.Yuanshang took off his sunglasses and handed them to Sun Hanqing, and elegantly buttoned up his jacket, turned his head and smiled to see the fans, raised his hand and swaggered——

——"Thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your support, everyone remember to be safe!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

"You're welcome ahhhh!!!"

"Why are you so warm, Yuanshang!!!"

The fans were immediately overwhelmed by the attention they received. Most of the support teams from the rest of the family were girls, who could hardly resist such a handsome face, so they were all inexplicably excited.The "RNB" fans who were still chanting slogans were in it, but for some reason, the sound waves weakened a lot. They looked at each other with support cards, and they felt inexplicably complicated. Compared with other idols, they The owner's attitude towards the fans is really too arrogant and indifferent.

Yuan Shang took two steps back amidst the many screaming responses, bowed to the crowd, and then bid farewell to the arena with one step at a time. When passing by Ren Pingsheng and "RNB" and his group, he didn't look at the slightest bit of charity. Just pass by without seeing it.

He didn't say anything or express any attitude, but Jiang Xie who was standing there seemed to be slapped in the face, feeling genuinely embarrassed.

Assistant Mu followed Qin Huo, and the other investors who accompanied him to greet the award ceremony took out their mobile phones and swiped, and sure enough, they saw Weibo and pinched it again.

Eight out of ten of the real-time awards ceremony reports included photos of Ren Pingsheng and the "RMB" group chatting intimately. Fans of the two groups lived up to expectations and pinched each other.Ren Pingsheng's fans feel that their idol has been famous for many years, has a profound background, is supreme, and is supreme, which is not comparable to a group of young boys. Fans of R's family used their idol album sales and international resources to slap each other.Ren Pingsheng's fans were obviously at a disadvantage in various cases, Assistant Mu sighed, in such a big country, there are not many singers who can compete with overseas new idol groups.

Four Seas was opposed to the fact that Huadian Music allowed overseas singers to be shortlisted. Unfortunately, there were so many investors in this award. We held a meeting, and four out of five agreed with such a ridiculous move.The reasons given by the organizers are also very tenable. In recent years, the Huadian Awards have received less and less attention from the mainstream, and if they don’t make some gimmicks, they will be over.

Assistant Mu felt that the boss must be dissatisfied with this, otherwise he wouldn't have just finished chatting with others about work and quietly hid in a corner with a book to read.

Assistant Mu sincerely admires the way the boss reads the book without letting go, and he can't help but slap himself hard in his heart, who is busy with nightclub dating girls when he has free time, otherwise why can someone be the boss, and you are just an assistant? !The attitude towards knowledge desire is different!What's more, the eyes of the boss reading it are so serious. This must be a good book that is obscure and profound. I don't know if I can borrow the book list for reference when the boss is in a better mood, and it would be great if I can follow along.

He let his mind fly here, when he heard a familiar greeting not far away: "Hey, why didn't I see anyone, you are here."

As soon as Assistant Mu turned his head, he saw that Yuanshang was looking at him smilingly with one hand in his pocket.It was the first time to see Yuanshang wearing a dress, which was different from his usual casual attire. When the light in the auditorium was slightly dim, he was almost blinded by the luxurious and high-end light on the other party.Assistant Mu thought that the other party was greeting him, so he smiled back, thinking about how to politely remind the other party that he was currently at work and could not chat casually.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the boss's voice that he would not admit to being mistaken turned into a wind became louder: "Today's appearance is not bad."

"..." Assistant Mu silently considered the possibility of his hearing hallucinations, and looked down at the book that the boss had placed on the stool.

"One Hundred Ways to Make Life Cute~"

Assistant Mu: "..."

Qin Huo's eyes lit up the moment he saw Yuanshang. The never-fading smile on the other party's face finally dissipated the depression that had lingered in his heart for a long time. The hot fingertips left an itchy touch on the palm of the hand.

"Thank you." Yuanshang pointed to the stool, "Reading?"

While chatting at home that day, Yuanshang casually mentioned the optimistic and cheerful books his parents read to him since he was a child. Qin Huo didn't express his opinion at the time, but he didn't expect to buy them secretly.

Qin Huo said with a straight face: "I didn't buy it on purpose, just take a look."

Yuanshang keenly noticed a bit of concealed shyness from his stubborn expression, and suddenly felt that the other party had a little more cuteness that couldn't be suppressed by his height.At the moment, he doesn't feel that Qin Huo is getting close at all. Seeing that the party time is approaching, he subconsciously steps forward and pats the other party's arm affectionately: "Okay, then you can just look around, I'll take a step first."

When he finished speaking, he turned around briskly, relying on his height, he put his arm on the shoulder of Sun Hanqing who was walking beside him, and left all the way, even flirting with the beautiful female singer beside him.

Qin Huo stared fixedly at the back of Yuanshang and the girl who were quickly mingling together, and felt that the mood that had become fun when chatting with the other party just now quickly sank down.He squeezed the palm of his hand, and there seemed to be weight left on the place where the right arm was tapped.He was confused for a while, how to explain this phenomenon from a scientific point of view, is the magnetic field different?

He opened the book, the first article on the catalog page - "On1 find a friend who can chat~"

*******

The lights were dimmed, the applause was thunderous, and the host on the stage was impassioned, inviting the group "RNB" to dance.

In the strong beat and electronic music, the familiar melody of their famous song "fly", which has become popular all over Asia, resounds. It is passionate, explosive, fashionable and full of elements that young people of this era will like. Jiang Xie listened I can't help but beat the beat with my feet, and I also admit that this is a good song.But maybe it's because of the language barrier, or the lack of familiar elements. When he listens to this song, he can't get the resonance he felt when he listened to "Chasing".An old singer's snort came from behind him: "Sing lip-synch."

Jiang Xie vaguely remembered the selling point of this group's usual publicity, such as humility, earnestness and hard work. Maybe they did behave like this in their own country, but after standing on this land, they were lazy and perfunctory even on such an important occasion as an awards ceremony.

"Fiy" was also shortlisted for several awards, but from the perspective of professional appreciation, "Chasing" is obviously better, and his own work is still inferior to the two. After Jiang Xie evaluated it from an objective point of view, he could also accept it. It's a reality to accompany him to run.Losing to music of the level of "The Chase" is honestly not a shame.

Sun Hanqing flipped through the list of shortlisted works in the handbook, carefully analyzed the pros and cons of all the contestants, and then showed the voting interface of the online platform to Yuan Shang: "The ones with the highest votes are your "Chasing" and the song "Fly "Well, although you are only 1000 points higher, the difference in quality is so obvious, and the number of votes for No.3 has been dropped by a large amount..."

He urged Yuanshang to quickly recite his acceptance speech, and the host on the stage also began to read the best single project. Yuanshang has weighed the strength of the singles of both parties, and he is [-]% sure in his heart. He just waits for the final list to be revealed.

"The winner of the Best Single Award at this year's Huadian Music Festival is—"

The host dragged on for a long time, tantalizing people for a long time, and then yelled out every word: "Congratulations! Ours! —— R! N! B!"

For a long time, no one responded.

After the heavy drumming, there was still no applause, the host's smile finally brought a bit of embarrassment that could not be concealed, and he hurried to save the scene: "And welcome our 'Best Arrangement Award' winner-Yuan! Come on! Welcome Yuanshang to accept the award at the same time!"

The spotlight swayed and swayed all over the venue, and finally fixed on the top of Yuanshang's seat, and almost everyone in the audience focused their eyes on this direction.The emotions in the eyes of these Chinese musicians were very sad. Yuanshang stood up, and there was no smile on his face.

Qin Huo, who was sitting in the distance, instantly felt his cold anger, and his heart jumped, his brows immediately frowned, and he looked at Assistant Mu, "What's going on?"
