Chapter 59 Raining
The morning in the capital is still busy and noisy.

Chen Mo came to the company's recording studio humming a little tune, with brisk steps and a smile on his face.

"Oh, you look so happy, have you found a wife?"

Jiang Congwen sat back in the chair, looking at the lustful look on Chen Mo's face, and joked.

"That's about right." Chen Mo nodded with a little reserve, and pulled a chair and sat down.

"Oh? So, what stage has it reached?" Jiang Congwen became interested and asked, sitting up straight.

Chen Mo thought about it and gave two words to describe it, "Rapid progress and remarkable results."

After Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou revealed their relationship on Friday, their relationship did warm up significantly over the weekend, and Chen Mo felt that he had gained a lot.

So now he doesn't have to hide or hesitate anymore.

That’s right, buddy is going to have a partner soon.

"Kiss?!"

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Jiang Congwen subconsciously leaned forward slightly, opened his eyes wide, and asked excitedly.

"Well, not yet."

"Is that holding hands?" Jiang Congwen smiled unchanged and straightened his body slightly.

"Well, there is none for now."

Jiang Congwen blinked his eyes, his smile and excitement gradually faded, he lay back on the back of the chair, and asked listlessly:

"Neither this nor that, so what results have you achieved?"

"I'm laying my cards on the table." Chen Mo said seriously.

"That's it?" Jiang Congwen felt no wavering.

I have already cut the melon, and you are telling me this?
"Isn't this enough?"

"You're the one who picks people up from get off work every day. Even a fool can see what you're thinking. What difference does it make whether you reveal your cards or not?" Jiang Congwen complained speechlessly.

"That's a huge difference!" Chen Mo retorted.

"Oh." Jiang Congwen sighed and shook his head.

"Yes, what else can I expect from you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, my relationship progress bar has obviously moved forward a big step, okay?" Chen Mo was unhappy.

"I laid my cards on the table. Hongdou didn't reject my pursuit. What does this prove?"

"That means you are not her boyfriend yet." Jiang Congwen said.

"That means I'm halfway to success. I'll be her boyfriend soon!" Chen Mo emphasized loudly.

"Soon, then not yet."

"You don't understand the matter of sooner or later."

"Oh, I don't understand? If it were me, I would have held her hand and kissed her long ago." Jiang Congwen said disdainfully.

"This is what I achieved in just one month. This is what we call achievement!"

"Oh, what about now?" Chen Mo asked back indifferently.

"Now." Jiang Congwen was deflated.

"A hero should never brag about his past achievements." Chen Mo reminded.

Jiang Congwen was unable to refute, and after thinking for a while he guessed:
"Your current progress must be due to my phone call that day, right?"

Although Jiang Congwen didn't know why Chen Mo called him that day and let Xu Hongdou listen, it was nothing more than finding a third-party witness for his own evil intentions.

Men know each other too well. In the past, Jiang Congwen often used Chen Mo to cover up.

"You call that an assist? You were just giving away kills for free." Chen Mo said disdainfully.

"You didn't even tell me in advance and asked me to cooperate with you?" Jiang Congwen was unhappy.

"And just tell me, was it because of what I said that you finally advanced the relationship?"

Based on Jiang Congwen's understanding of Chen Mo, if he hadn't accidentally given him this push, Chen Mo would definitely have continued to move forward slowly and silently.

"Your 98% battery can go offline, what can I do? I can't just jump out of the car, right?"

Chen Mo still feels a little embarrassed when he thinks about that scene.

"As long as the result is good, that's enough." Jiang Congwen didn't care.

"That's because I remained calm in the face of danger, took advantage of the situation and went with the flow, which is why I won the MVP." Chen Mo praised himself without any hesitation.

"So you met because of me?"

Jiang Congwen has become accustomed to Chen Mo's shameless behavior.

Sometimes you can only brag shamelessly in front of your brothers.

Chen Mo really couldn't refute this point, because Jiang Congwen used to live in that neighborhood, and that's where he met Xu Hongdou.

Moreover, Jiang Congwen did create many opportunities and chances for him intentionally or unintentionally.

"So without me, you are nothing now." Jiang Congwen said bluntly.

"You have to show some respect to Yue Lao."

"You will sit at the main table at the wedding, and no one is allowed to eat until you start eating!" Chen Mo said with a wave of his hand.

"Come on, you haven't finished writing your fortune yet. Wait until you two choose a date, then you can say this again." Jiang Congwen waved his hand.

"It definitely will." Chen Mo said affirmatively.

It was rare that Jiang Congwen did not refute and tease Chen Mo.

Everyone in love is so blindly confident. Jiang Congwen remembers that he seemed to have been like this before.

However, Jiang Congwen hopes that Chen Mo can get what he wants and not end up like him.

Jiang Congwen couldn't say anything too corny, this is what being a brother means in the heart.

"You asked me to come to the company, but why are you here so late? I was thinking of asking you to give me a ride." Jiang Congwen asked.

"My passenger seat already has an owner." Chen Mo said.

"Good guy! You found a wife and kicked out the matchmaker, right?" Jiang Congwen said in disbelief.

Jiang Congwen looked at Chen Mo sideways and asked three times:
"So I can't ride in your car anymore?"

"Or should I drive and you sit in the passenger seat?"

"Or should I go ask Anko for instructions first?"

"Hehe~ That's not necessary." Chen Mo laughed dryly.

"Well, actually I overslept." Chen Mo could only tell the truth.

What exclusive seats are is just a joke. Besides, exclusive seats are meant to protect against the opposite sex. It would be a problem if they were also meant to protect against the same sex.

In fact, he got up too early on both weekends, so Chen Mo made up for it on the weekdays.

They are the opposite of working people and are the enviable capitalists.

"Can you be any more of a dog?" Jiang Congwen's eyes widened when he heard this.

"When I arrived at the company, you said you were on your way."

(Chen Mo just woke up.)
"I waited for half an hour, and you said there was one more traffic light."

(Chen Mo just left.)
"Look at the time now, I've been waiting for over an hour, bro?!"

Seeing Jiang Congwen spitting, Chen Mo quickly smiled and comforted him:
"Don't worry about the details. I have come to you for good."

"Look, your new song has been found, and you will be able to release your first album soon."

"This is your first journey to becoming a superstar."

"From now on, everyone in the music world will recognize you!"

Chen Mo praised enthusiastically.

"What song?" Sure enough, when Jiang Congwen heard there was a new song, he instantly diverted his attention.

"As agreed upon, a sweet love song." Chen Mo took out two sheets of lyrics and music from his bag.

"Soy Milk and Fried Dough Sticks, Milk Bread?" Jiang Congwen took over and read out the names of the two songs.

Jiang Congwen quickly looked at the two songs and hummed them simply in his mind. The melody was light and the lyrics were simple and straightforward.

"How about these two songs together? The whole album won't be all about sadness." Chen Mo said.

The quality of these two songs is definitely inferior to the previous ones "Ten Years" and "Love Transfer", but they are fresh and can add a different color to the album.

"It's already very good." Jiang Congwen was quite satisfied. It was unlikely that all the songs in an album would be hits.

Jiang Congwen felt that his album was already strong enough with the previous few songs, and he did not expect every song to be of that quality.

"This is all breakfast." Jiang Congwen said with a smile.

"A beautiful morning and a loving breakfast can always bring people sweet inspiration." Chen Mo shared "immersedly".

"." Jiang Congwen suddenly felt a little nauseous.

"You should keep this mushy love to yourself, don't spread it around."

"I'm doing this to help you better empathize with the song," Chen Mo said righteously. "Thank you, but you don't have to," Jiang Congwen refused.

"I want you to see how you disgusted people every day in school." Chen Mo said.

"This is impossible. How could I be so stupid?" Jiang Congwen refused to admit it.

"Heh." Chen Mo sneered.

I have experienced such scenes for three years living in the same dormitory!

You can't stand it now?

"By the way, I haven't recorded the song 'God, Save Me' yet, so I'll give it to you too. This way your album will be complete." Chen Mo said after thinking for a while.

"Hmm? So you're not going to sing it yourself?"

Jiang Congwen remembered that the accompaniment for this song was already ready, and last Friday Chen Mo even said he wanted to record it himself.

"I think this song is no longer suitable for someone like me who is about to fall in love. I'd better leave it to single people like you." Chen Mo waved his hand and said.

"." Jiang Congwen.

"You are still a single dog now, so please don't forget your identity." Jiang Congwen reminded with a sigh.

"I won't be one soon." Chen Mo said seriously.

"There are only two types of single people: yes and no. There is no third type." Jiang Congwen also said seriously.

"As long as we are single, no one is nobler than anyone else."

"Then do you still want the song?" Chen Mo said unhappily.

"If you want it, you'd be a fool." Jiang Congwen said immediately.

“But you haven’t released an album yourself,” Jiang Congwen said hesitantly.

Chen Mo waved his hand indifferently.

In fact, Jiang Congwen didn't know that Chen Mo had already kept enough songs to fill an album:

"Her Eyelashes", "I Remember", "Youth·Capital", "To Live", "Little Happiness", "Can't Speak", "Mercury", "Everyday", "Lovely Woman", "Listen to Mom".

There are also "Today" and "Running", these two songs Chen Mo plans to give to other people in the company to sing.

Chen Mo plans to give "Today" to Su Lixing.

As for "Running Man", Chen Mo still needs to think about it, or ask Zhang Yundong if he has any suitable candidates to recommend.

If Chen Mo sang all the songs he wrote himself, no one would say anything.

But since so many songs have been given to Jiang Congwen, Chen Mo also has to take the feelings of other people in the company into consideration.

Although no one would say anything in front of Chen Mo, it would make Jiang Congwen stand out.

Chen Mo has also heard some "criticisms" from other people in the company recently.

Zhang Yundong had mentioned to Chen Mo several times before that other artists in the company wanted to ask him to "invite them to write songs".

Chen Mo knew that Zhang Yundong was reminding him.

Chen Mo can be partial, but he cannot be "discriminatory" and completely ignore other artists in the company.

So Chen Mo gave Su Lixing a song called "Today", and added the songs "I'm Not Sad" and "Happy Breakup" he had written for Lin Nanxi before, so that the two big brothers and sisters in the company could share some of the attention.

Finally, give others another song, "Running", to calm some of the voices.

Of course, Chen Mo doesn’t plan to release his own album too soon as he is too productive.

Once people find out, they will probably ask him to sing for them like a sow trying to induce labor.

So Chen Mo planned to record his own album slowly, just one or two songs a week.

Consider publishing it after two or three months.

"Thank you." Jiang Congwen said suddenly.

"Why are you so polite all of a sudden? You are also a member of the company. It doesn't matter who I give the song to." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"And it's not like I'm confiscating your money."

"Yes, I'm still working for you, my boss, to earn money." Jiang Congwen smiled.

"Haha, who said it wasn't?" Chen Mo laughed.

But Jiang Congwen knew clearly that it didn’t matter who the song was given to, but it didn’t matter who sang it.

Wouldn't it be easier to make money by giving it directly to the company's already famous singers?
It’s just that there is some affection between them that is kept in their hearts and needs no further explanation.

"Okay, the accompaniment for 'God, Save Me' has already been prepared. You can record it today if you want."

"it is good."

The weather in March changes suddenly. It may be clear in the morning but covered with dark clouds in the afternoon.

There was a drizzle in the sky, lightning flashed in the clouds from time to time, and the strong wind made the branches on the roadside rustle.

The orange street lights had already been turned on, and pedestrians couldn't help but quicken their pace. The accumulated water on the road splashed under their feet, and the mud brought by the rain made people more eager to return home.

"Beep--" Traffic was even more congested on rainy days, and Chen Mo couldn't help but honk the horn to urge people on.

Chen Mo looked at the time anxiously. It was obviously later than usual.

Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

"Hongdou, you haven't left yet." Zhong Xueyao asked Xu Hongdou who was standing at the door.

"Ah, waiting for someone." Xu Hongdou said.

"Your boyfriend hasn't come to pick you up yet? Then he has failed in his duty today." Zhong Xueyao joked.

"He's not my boyfriend, so it's not a matter of dereliction of duty." Xu Hongdou shook her head.

"If there is someone who can pick me up from get off work every day regardless of the weather, I will definitely be his girlfriend." Zhong Xueyao said enviously.

"We are neighbors, and we just happened to be passing by." Xu Hongdou explained.

"Hongdou, it's raining so heavily, can I take you home?" Liu Guangyu walked over and said.

"No, someone is here to pick me up."

Xu Hongdou saw a familiar license plate and waved at a car slowly approaching in the distance.

Liu Guangyu and Zhong Xueyao also cast their gazes over there.

A Land Rover Range Rover with simple exterior lines, revealing restrained luxury, grand yet elegant, slowly stopped in front of the three people.

Chen Mo got out of the car and said to Xu Hongdou with a smile:

"Wait a long time?"

Xu Hongdou smiled and shook her head slightly.

Liu Guangyu next to him was silent for a moment. Even he felt that the two people in front of him were so well matched.

Moreover, looking at the car in front of him, Liu Guangyu couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Although he works at the Waldorf, he has seen many luxury cars.

Not to mention million-level Land Rover Range Rover, Liu Guangyu can also see luxury cars worth tens of millions from time to time.

But that belonged to someone else, not to him.

Zhong Xueyao didn't feel anything when she saw the car, but when she saw Chen Mo's handsome face, her eyes lit up.

At this moment, in her mind, Chen Mo was like an elegant prince driving a carriage, coming to pick up his princess Xu Hongdou in the storm.

Being in close contact with the eye of the "scandal" storm made Zhong Xueyao, the leader of both the "melon-eating" and "gossip" parties, unconsciously feel a little excited and excited.

Zhong Xueyao could feel that her curious genes were stirring and her gossipy blood was boiling.

"Are you Hongdou's colleagues?" Chen Mo greeted Zhong Xueyao and Liu Guangyu.

"Yes." Zhong Xueyao suppressed her excitement, nodded and waved enthusiastically in response.

"Hello." Liu Guangyu just nodded politely.

Chen Mo could sense Liu Guangyu's politeness and awkwardness. In this case, either his relationship with Xu Hongdou was just average, or he had some thoughts about Xu Hongdou other than as a colleague.

Chen Mo's intuition told him it was the second one.

However, there was no sarcastic or hostile scene between the two of them. They are both adults, not college students who have just entered society, and they can maintain basic decency.

"Thank you for taking care of Hongdou." Chen Mo said with a smile.

When Xu Hongdou heard this, she looked at Chen Mo in surprise, but did not refute or explain anything.

"No, no, we are all colleagues, and Hongdou takes care of us more."

Zhong Xueyao shook her head repeatedly with an aunt-like smile on her face. How can this be called an ordinary friend?
Liu Guangyu felt a little bitter in his heart, but still forced a smile in response.

"Then we'll leave first. I'll treat you to dinner next time I have the chance." Chen Mo said.

"Okay, okay. Goodbye."

Zhong Xueyao nodded in response, and before Xu Hongdou got on the car, she leaned close to Xu Hongdou's ear and whispered:

"If there is a neighbor like this who picks me up from get off work every day regardless of the weather and is willing to treat my colleagues to a meal, I would also be willing to be his girlfriend."

Xu Hongdou's face turned red. She pursed her lips, pretended not to hear, and quickly got into the car.
