58 First Meeting with Wang Yushu
The next morning, Zheng Ning, refreshed and in high spirits, arrived at the company to report for duty after releasing two new songs.
In two or three days, I will pass the company's new employee training and officially start working in the composition department.
"Oh? Sister Zhao, what brings you to Shuncheng again? Isn't work busy at headquarters?"
As soon as I entered the composition department office on the 10th floor, I saw a familiar figure.
"Oh, I've applied to work temporarily in Shuncheng."
Zhao Lu smoothed her long hair and smiled slightly.
The young man in front of him had brought him too many surprises. The company headquarters had nominated Zheng Ning as a key new talent to be cultivated this year. Not only was his singing skill outstanding, but his songs also reflected a sense of the times and the future that no other songs at the time possessed.
Of the four songs I had on hand, only "Chengdu" leans slightly more towards traditional folk music.
The other three songs all carry a strong sense of forward-thinking arrangement and composition concepts that are ahead of their time.
Zhao Lu didn't understand the specifics because he wasn't a composition student.
But since the company's headquarters leaders and professional composers all say so, she has to keep a close eye on this gem and absolutely not allow anyone else to poach it.
Whether it's inside or outside the company.
Therefore, she took the initiative to apply to work in Shuncheng so that she could keep a close eye on Zheng Ning and prevent him from being poached.
Standing behind Zhao Lu was a stylishly dressed young man who looked energetic, yet with a hint of surprise that he concealed very well.
"Who is this?"
He was quite certain that this was not a colleague from the composition department; he had already gotten to know the other nine colleagues there in the past two days.
"Let me introduce you. This is Wang Yushu, a new singer signed by Feiyang Entertainment."
Zhao Lu stepped back half a body, revealing Wang Yushu.
He said he really likes your songs, thinks they're very original, and wants to get to know you.
"Hello, I am Wang Yushu, from Xizhou Lincheng, and I am also 23 years old, just like you."
The young man gracefully extended his right hand and said very politely.
Although his tone still carried a hint of arrogance, Zhao Lu could tell that the kid had actually become much more restrained.
After all, he was the third runner-up in a large music competition in Xizhou, with over 100,000 fans. He was already quite famous before his debut, so he certainly has some things to be proud of.
But this guy has one redeeming quality: he has a deep respect for talented people.
Because I can't write songs myself, I have great admiration for composers and lyricists.
As for Zheng Ning, although he wouldn't call it idol worship, they are the same age and he doesn't want to be inferior to him. The fact that he has achieved what he has done is already the best he can to restrain his arrogance.
"Oh, hello, nice to meet you."
Since the other party had already extended their hand, Zheng Ning couldn't very well refuse.
Judging from the other person's appearance, he felt that they were completely different from him, more like an idol singer.
"I'll be working in Shuncheng for the time being. You guys should try to visit each other more often in the future."
Zhao Lu stood aside, acting as the introducer.
"Xiao Ning, you can also talk to Wang Yushu more. Although he's a newcomer, he really has an extraordinary talent for organizing fans... And speaking of which, Wang Yushu's sister is an incredibly powerful figure..."
"Sister Zhao!"
Wang Yushu frowned and quickly interrupted Zhao Lu.
"Hehe, it's alright, he'll find out sooner or later. That's all for now, we'll be going now. Xiao Ning, you should focus on your new employee training. I've already asked Minister Yang to take good care of you."
After Zhao Lu finished speaking, she took Wang Yushu away. Today, she had only brought him here to introduce him to people and get to know him.
"Dude, I really like your song 'Seven Mile Fragrance'. It reminds me of the wonderful time I spent living at my grandma's house in the suburbs when I was a child."
Before leaving, Wang Yushu winked at Zheng Ning, once again showing his goodwill.
"Hehe, thanks. Let's keep in touch when we have time."
……
After seeing Zhao Lu and Wang Yushu off, Zheng Ning sat down and turned on his computer, somewhat bewildered.
"Zheng Ning, are you and Wang Yushu very close? You two were chatting and laughing just now, and he seemed to respect you quite a bit?"
As soon as I sat down, a seaweed stick was handed to me.
This is Wang Xiaoyu's daily feeding routine.
"Thank you, here are some delicious vegetable biscuits I bought yesterday."
Zheng Ning opened his backpack and handed her the new snacks he had bought, while also distributing them to several colleagues around him.
"I don't know him well; this is the first time we've met. Sister Zhao said she likes my songs and wants to get to know me. What's up? Do you know him?"
"How come I don't know him? That kid was really popular a while ago, do you remember 'The Flower Boy'?"
Wang Xiaoyu took the vegetable biscuits, tore open the packaging, and started eating them in big bites. As she ate, her eyes lit up as she introduced them to Zheng Lin.
"The Youthful Flowers? I know that, it's a very popular talent show these past few years... What? He came from there?"
Zheng Ning was shocked and looked back at the direction the two had left in.
"Yeah, I thought you knew. He was the third runner-up on this show in 2010. With his slightly roguish handsome smile and a great voice that can hit super high notes, he gained a lot of fans!"
"Do you know what his sister does? I overheard Sister Zhao mention it, but he interrupted me."
"Oh, I don't know. He's not my type, so I haven't looked into it."
Wang Xiaoyu's mouth was full of food, and her voice was somewhat muffled.
But Zheng Ning was shocked again. It turned out that this kid had such a powerful background. No wonder he couldn't suppress the arrogance in his eyes just now.
But the respect the other person shows you can be felt from the moment you shake hands.
This kid has such a powerful background, yet he still needs to contact me through Sister Zhao. What is he trying to do?
"Oh, stop guessing. He probably wants to ask you to write a song for him. What else could a singer be thinking? These cookies are pretty good. What brand are they? Where did you buy them? I'll go buy some to stock up for breakfast."
Want to ask me to write a song for you?
As Zheng Ning sent the purchase instructions for the biscuits to Wang Xiaoyu, he pondered the matter in his mind.
Now that I'm part of the composition department, it's only natural that people would ask me to write songs for them.
However, I know my own skill level. Apart from the advanced composition techniques I directly acquired from the system, I have no practical experience whatsoever.
The songs I sang before all came from the system.
"Tsk tsk... Looks like I still need to do more quests and collect more treasure chests from the system!"
He clicked his tongue in amazement and began his daily routine of new employee training.
