Chapter 539: What Should I Do
"It's him."
Looking at the photo in his hand, Chen Fan's expression became somewhat agitated.
In his previous life, it was this man called Tang Xiaojun who, due to distracted driving, caused him and Su Ruochu to be separated by death.
This also led Chen Fan, who had lost his beloved, to become a walking corpse in the days that followed.
The day of Su Ruochu's car accident from his previous life was approaching.
Chen Fan's palm was gripping so tightly that the photo was crumpled.
In this life, he absolutely would not allow this to happen.
"Boss?"
Seeing Chen Fan's twisted expression, Feng Pojun beside him couldn't help but softly remind him.
Chen Fan snapped out of his thoughts.
"I'm fine."
"Keep a 24-hour watch on him, even if he's just going to the toilet to take a shit, you must keep a close eye on him."
Chen Fan expressionlessly gave the order.
"Yes!"
Old Feng immediately responded seriously.
But his heart was full of doubts.
Who exactly was this Tang Xiaojun?
Why would he make the boss so angry?
Actually, he had already seen the investigation report, Old Yang had stripped this guy's background bare, nearly uncovering his ancestors from 18 generations ago.
This person was just an ordinary guy.
Why would the boss care so much about him?
Although he was puzzled internally, Old Feng would never question the boss's decisions.
Originally planning to spend the last two days with Su Ruochu, but on the second day, Chen Fan received a call from Yan Qing.
The person on the other end said that the score had been written, but there were a few places that were still unclear, hoping Chen Fan could come over.
Faced with such a request, Chen Fan couldn't refuse.
He couldn't afford to offend any of those five people in the band.
He drove alone to the club from last time.
As soon as he entered, the five people who were originally rehearsing instinctively stopped and all looked over at once.
Unlike last time, this time everyone's gaze towards Chen Fan was different.
Even the little girl Nalan Wan'er, who had the quirkiest personality, kept secretly glancing at Chen Fan.
However, this girl was probably a bit embarrassed because of yesterday's incident, so she didn't dare to make eye contact with Chen Fan.
"Haha, our great master is here."
Yan Qing, who was good at livening up the atmosphere, walked towards Chen Fan first, very enthusiastically patting Chen Fan's shoulder.
"Brother, I really underestimated you before. You're truly someone who, when silent, is unnoticed, but once you speak, you shock the world."
Tong Yao followed behind, her two beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at Chen Fan, seemingly having many questions to ask.
Feeling a bit awkward being stared at by these people, Chen Fan could only get straight to the point.
"Is the score written?"
"Yes."
Yan Qing smiled and handed over a piece of paper, "Take a look."
Chen Fan didn't take it, but said very straightforwardly: "I can't read it."
Yan Qing smiled bitterly and scratched his head: "My bad, my bad, I forgot about that."
The drummer beside also joked: "Can't read sheet music, yet can write such a song. This further proves how amazing our great master is."
Chen Fan could see that these people were intentionally trying to get on his good side.
His attitude softened a bit.
"Since you've already written the score, why did you ask me to come?"
Yan Qing turned his head to look at Nalan Wan'er behind him, and explained with a smile.
"It's Wan'er. We've rehearsed a few times, but Wan'er always feels something's off, like it's a bit different from how you sang yesterday."
"But she can't pinpoint exactly where."
Chen Fan understood, so he directly said: "Sing it once more, let me listen."
"Alright."
Yan Qing snapped his fingers.
"Don't just stand there, everyone, let's get started."
So the group laughingly walked onto the stage, each picking up their own instrument.
They began to rehearse.
Chen Fan squinted his eyes and listened carefully. From time to time, he tapped his arm with his fingers, keeping the beat.
After finishing the song, everyone nervously looked at Chen Fan, like students waiting for their teacher's evaluation.
Chen Fan didn't put on airs, but spoke directly.
"The melody is fine, your performance is also fine, the problem lies with her."
"Me?"
Nalan Wan'er was stunned, her expression immediately becoming embarrassed and annoyed.
This guy... must be deliberately targeting her.
To get revenge for yesterday.
Chen Fan didn't have so many thoughts, he directly pointed out two lines of lyrics.
"These two parts aren't sung correctly. Also..."
Chen Fan looked at Nalan Wan'er, "Your singing lacks confidence. This is a positive, inspirational song. When you're performing, you must control the rhythm and emotions well, to immerse others..."
"When you sing, your expression is too limited, too rigid, without passion. Without confidence."
Chen Fan pointed out her shortcomings without hesitation.
"If you yourself aren't confident, how can you expect to move others' emotions?"
"I..."
Nalan Wan'er was about to get angry, but suddenly held back, glancing to the side.
Yan Qing smiled awkwardly and nodded.
"Actually... I think what he says makes some sense."
Tong Yao beside also nodded repeatedly.
"Wan'er, I actually think what Chen Fan says is very correct. During previous rehearsals, I also felt your singing lacked power..."
Nalan Wan'er widened her eyes, looking at these two friends in disbelief.
It's only been a few minutes, and you two have already betrayed me?
"Hmph!"
Seemingly feeling like she couldn't save face, Nalan Wan'er directly dropped her guitar on the ground and angrily ran off the stage into a nearby rest room.
Chen Fan awkwardly rubbed his nose.
"Did I... make her angry?"
Yan Qing secretly gave a thumbs up.
"Brother, awesome! This is the first time I've seen someone dare to confront Wan'er."
The two guys beside also smiled and gave thumbs up.
"Idol, from today on you're our idol."
Chen Fan asked with an awkward bitter smile: "Is it okay?"
"It's fine." Yan Qing smiled and comforted him: "She may like to throw little tantrums and have a fiery temper, but she's not unreasonable."
"As long as what you say makes sense, she'll listen."
Chen Fan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Tong Yao snorted beside him.
"But I'm telling you, Wan'er is petty. Just because it's fine now doesn't mean she won't get revenge on you later."
Yan Qing quickly waved his hand: "Alright. Stop scaring him."
At this moment, the door of the rest room opposite was suddenly pushed open.
"Yaoyao, what nonsense are you saying? When have I ever been petty?"
Nalan Wan'er angrily ran in front of Chen Fan.
"I admit what you said makes some sense. I also know where the problem is, but I don't know how to change it..."
"What should I do?"
Chen Fan was a bit surprised.
He didn't expect this girl to be so open-minded, not only accepting his opinion but also so readily asking him how to change.
Chen Fan scratched his head: "I can't teach confidence. Why don't you find a music teacher..."
Yan Qing directly interrupted.
"Why bother with all that? You can just perform with us. This time you sing together with Wan'er, lead her a few times and she'll understand."
Tong Yao applauded: "That's a good idea. Chen Fan, you sang so well yesterday, it'd be great if you could sing for us again."
Nalan Wan'er's little face was flushed red, somewhat embarrassedly saying in a cold voice.
"It's just that I've heard your version from yesterday too many times, so when I sing I always feel it's not as good as yours, and the more I sing the less confident I become..."
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright. But let me make it clear, after singing twice I have to go back, I still have things to do."
Yan Qing directly gave Chen Fan a push.
"Get up there, what could be more important than us practicing?"
Chen Fan had a helpless expression.
Why did he feel like he had boarded a pirate ship?
