However, in order to successfully complete the task and continue living, Su Yu, despite his inner trepidation, still bit the bullet, mustered his courage, and shamelessly spoke up: “Jiang Xue, I heard you are a guest performer at this graduation gala. Have you prepared the song you’ll be singing?”
Han Jiangxue had imagined various reactions from Su Yu after he heard her words; perhaps he would express emotion, or even tell her not to bother so much.
However, she absolutely did not expect Su Yu to say such a thing.
In her opinion, whether she had prepared the song for the graduation gala seemed to have no connection whatsoever to Su Yu’s illness, right?
“None of the new songs arranged by the company satisfy me. This time, I can only sing an old song from before,” Han Jiangxue replied truthfully, not thinking much of it.
“Jiang Xue, there’s a USB drive in my clothes pocket, and on it is a song I wrote myself. Since you haven’t found a suitable song yet, why not take a look at mine?”
Upon hearing that Han Jiangxue had not yet chosen a suitable song, Su Yu’s eyes instantly lit up, and he immediately spoke the lines he had already prepared.
In reality, Su Yu originally did not have a USB drive, but after he clicked to claim “flowers bloom at parting,” the System Miss reminded him that the song had been stored in his jacket pocket, and even the copyright for the song had already been registered for Su Yu.
This fully demonstrated the power and awesomeness of the System.
Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Han Jiangxue instinctively wanted to refuse, even feeling that Su Yu was a bit overestimating himself.
After all, Tianxing Entertainment, her company, is one of China’s top entertainment companies, and the lyricists and composers in its Music Department are all industry bigwigs.
If it weren’t for Han Jiangxue being overly picky, wouldn’t it be easy to choose a new song of above-average quality?
After all, she wasn’t just a simple new singer; she was also one of the shareholders of Tianxing Entertainment!
Having a superior family background was unavoidable; after all, her father was the chairman of Tianxing Entertainment.
On her eighteenth birthday, he even grandly gave her 5% of Tianxing Entertainment’s shares.
However, facing Su Yu’s expectant gaze, Han Jiangxue couldn’t bring herself to say no.
“Then I’ll take a look.” Han Jiangxue considered it as fulfilling the last wish of a dying person.
As she spoke, she walked to the wardrobe and, in Su Yu’s faded jacket pocket, indeed found the USB drive.
“Sister Ling, send over a laptop.” Since there was no computer in the ward, Han Jiangxue, under Su Yu’s expectant gaze, made a phone call.
Less than ten minutes later, a knock sounded, and a capable woman in professional attire entered the ward carrying a laptop.
She was clearly the Sister Ling Han Jiangxue had mentioned.
After handing the laptop to Han Jiangxue, Sister Ling did not leave immediately but wanted to see what Han Jiangxue was up to.
Actually, after Han Jiangxue, that road menace, hit Su Yu, Sister Ling had intended to take responsibility for hitting him on Han Jiangxue’s behalf.
After all, Han Jiangxue’s status was evident, and as her agent, Sister Ling also didn’t want her artist to have any negative news.
Although this wasn’t a big deal for Han Jiangxue’s other identity.
But Han Jiangxue refused and, despite Sister Ling’s objections, personally came to look after Su Yu.
She even contacted domestic experts to come and treat Su Yu?
All of this made Sister Ling feel that Han Jiangxue might have gone crazy!
He was just a stranger who had long suffered from a terminal illness; if she felt guilty, she should just give him more money.
Why was it necessary to go to the extent Han Jiangxue was going?
But when Han Jiangxue was stubborn, no one could stop her, and Sister Ling, as an employee, could only let her be.
When Sister Ling saw Han Jiangxue insert the USB drive into the computer and open a document titled “flowers bloom at parting,” she understood—so she had received a new song.
These past few days, the entire Music Department of the company had been busy with Han Jiangxue’s new song, but they hadn’t delivered a single song that satisfied Han Jiangxue, and now the lyricists and composers in the Music Department were all like eggplants hit by frost, full of frustration.
She just didn’t know which lyricist or composer from the Music Department had sent this song and whether it could satisfy Miss Han.
However, when Sister Ling saw “Su Yu” written clearly under lyrics, composition, and arrangement on the sheet music, she was completely taken aback.
Who was Su Yu? Sister Ling knew very well, after all, she had arranged for Su Yu’s information to be investigated.
Although Su Yu was a student in Yan Music’s Composition Department, it seemed he hadn’t published a single work yet, right? What kind of good song could such a newcomer write?
Could it even compare to their Tianxing Entertainment’s Music Department? This was simply a huge joke, wasn’t it?
Could it be that Miss was desperately seeking a cure? No, she had to rein in Miss! She absolutely couldn’t let her be deceived!
However, at this moment, Han Jiangxue was stunned when she saw the lyrics of this song.
Because she felt that the lyrics of this song were truly very fitting for graduation season!
Just the lyrics alone made her feel that Su Yu’s song should be reliable.
Even if it really didn’t work out, she could still have the lyricists and composers of the Tianxing Music Department re-compose and re-arrange the music according to the lyrics, which wouldn’t be difficult for her!
However, when she clicked on the song’s demo and heard its melody and arrangement, her previous thought was mercilessly abandoned.
Because it was simply not needed!
What Su Yu gave her was already a very complete song, even one that could be directly taken to the recording studio!
And upon hearing the song’s dynamic melody, Sister Ling’s words that were at the tip of her tongue were forcibly held back.
Although she didn’t know much about music, she could see her Miss’s excited and satisfied expression.
“Su Yu, I want this song! How much do you want?” After listening to the demo twice, Han Jiangxue excitedly looked at Su Yu and said what Su Yu most wanted to hear.
“Three hundred thousand! For the song’s future download revenue, we’ll split it fifty-fifty!” Su Yu no longer held back and directly stated his mission objective.
In fact, as a student of the Composition Department, Su Yu was very familiar with the market.
A novice like him would never get such a high price as three hundred thousand; this was a price point only achievable by intermediate lyricists and composers with million-selling representative works!
“No problem! We’ll sign the contract now!” Han Jiangxue agreed without a second thought.
This left Sister Ling, who wanted to haggle, speechless once again!
Three hundred thousand was truly not much money in their eyes, but this would break industry rules, wouldn’t it?
If you offered such a high price to a newcomer who couldn’t even be considered a junior lyricist or composer, what would those intermediate and senior lyricists and composers in the company think?
But Han Jiangxue had already agreed directly, so what more could she say? She could only go out and print the contract.
However, Sister Ling was quite professional; she searched for the song’s information on the copyright website, and only after seeing that the copyright holder was Su Yu did she truly feel at ease.
And after the contract was signed, Han Jiangxue’s transfer arrived instantly.
At the same time, System Miss’s arrogant voice echoed synchronously in Su Yu’s mind: 【Congratulations, Host, for completing the life-extending mission, gaining 30 days of lifespan and one wooden treasure chest.】
Listening to this beautiful voice, Su Yu only felt that Han Jiangxue was truly a good person, especially her posture when transferring money, which was simply breathtakingly beautiful!
