Chapter 148 Ward Round
"I'm just going home to spend time with my daughter. Why do you have to come with me?"

In the nanny car, Yuan Wanqing sat in the back seat, looking at Luo Fei who had forced her way into the car, and said speechlessly: "Aren't you going home to be with your loved one?"

"I haven't seen Zhu Sheng for a long time. You can't even let me go back with you for a meal?" Luo Fei rolled her eyes at her and then muttered, "Besides, there's a good show to watch."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." Luo Fei chuckled twice, then changed the subject, "You've also finished recording your song 'Annual Rings'. Your work intensity should have decreased a lot recently, right?"

"That's what outdated artists are like." Yuan Wanqing smiled helplessly, "I just failed to live up to Mr. Ying's expectations."

"He pushed for this comeback despite all the opposition. Unfortunately, it is really hard to go against the tide of the times."

"I used to dream that I could return to my previous level after my comeback, but now it seems that it is better to accept the reality that I am an old man as soon as possible."

"You are somewhat self-deprecating." Luo Fei shook his head and said, "It's not that you have become worse, or that today's artists have really improved, but in this Internet age, the way a person becomes famous has logically changed."

“What’s more, digital albums are becoming more and more popular, and piracy is everywhere. Singers have passed the stage where they can sell big sales just by selling albums.”

"You don't have traffic, so if you want to appear in a popular variety show, you have to pay money to do so. The price of various commercial performances and sideline performances can't go up, and brand endorsements will not come to you."

“Works are just a way to gain traffic, and they are not the only way.”

"These days, your jokes and humor on variety shows are more useful than singing a good song."

Yuan Wanqing listened to what Luo Fei said, knowing that this was her good friend comforting her. She propped up her chin and looked at the street scene outside the window, and her heart calmed down.

She became very popular right after her debut at the beginning of the century, but she actually only made money for two or three years. Later, she went abroad for medical treatment for more than ten years. In fact, she was not as wealthy as outsiders imagined.

But even so, there is definitely enough money to spend.

Even if this comeback is not very effective and does not make much of a splash, by relying on the company's channel resources and taking on some commercial performances, the remuneration is far more generous than most people imagine.

She no longer has the mentality of a little girl and no longer has the grand goal of becoming a famous figure.

Now that her comeback has failed, Yuan Wanqing has gradually accepted this result and plans to put some of her thoughts and the focus of her life back on Yan Zhusheng.

At least from now on, I should come back every weekend to spend time with my daughter.

Otherwise, it’s not good to let her stay at home alone often.

"Unfortunately, the company has been undergoing transformation in recent years, and its internal resources have been completely tilted towards the film and television sector."

Luo Fei continued to talk non-stop, "The quality of the songs I invited for you can't really be called top-notch, it can only be said to be average."

“It’s said to be tailor-made, but in fact only the song “Like a Dream” is pretty good, but it resonates more with old fans.”

"But in the Internet age, young people still dominate the world. The proportion of older people who can still surf the Internet is really small."

"Okay." Yuan Wanqing smiled and waved her hand. "After saying so much, you are actually still trying to enlighten me. I am not as fragile as you think."

"I just don't want you to be completely depressed." Luo Fei sighed, "These days, sometimes opportunities come without warning, and you have to be ready to catch them at any time."

"It's not as easy as you say." Yuan Wanqing shook her head and said, "In any case, life still has to go on. What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll ask the cook to prepare it in advance."

"Then I guess we need to prepare more." Luo Fei said in a low voice.

"what?"

"Nothing." Luo Fei suppressed a smile, "I can eat anything, you decide."

Yuan Wanqing took out her cell phone and called the cook.

After the call was connected, she said a few words briefly, and then she heard the other party say:

"Your daughter called me today and said that I don't need to go over to cook today. Look at this..."

"Hmm?" Yuan Wanqing was stunned for a moment, "Did she say why?"

"I didn't ask that." The cooking aunt said, "After all, this situation has been going on for a long time. In the past two months, I often don't have to go over for Saturday night meals. I am only asked to cook for Sunday lunch."

"Is that so?" Yuan Wanqing was silent for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking. Finally, she nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go find Zhu Sheng to ask about the situation first."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Wanqing looked at Luo Fei, who was laughing secretly with her hands covering her mouth, and immediately showed a suspicious expression: "You guy, do you know something?"

“I just know a little bit.”

"Then you should say so."

"It will be at your house soon, you can take a look for yourself."

Hearing her say this, Yuan Wanqing fell into deep thought, and then made some guesses.

After the nanny car drove into the community and parked in the garage, Yuan Wanqing and Luo Fei got out and walked towards home.

The elevator went up. Yuan Wanqing took out the house key, opened the door and invited Luo Fei in, then glanced at the floor of the entrance.

In addition to Yan Zhusheng's shoes, there was also a pair of larger sneakers that were obviously for boys. "Is it Li Luo?" Yuan Wanqing glanced at Luo Fei and said with a pout, "I don't know what you are so excited about."

"You guessed it already?" Luo Fei was stunned for a moment, "Why do I feel like you are quite familiar?"

"I met him at the parents' meeting and we even had dinner together." Yuan Wanqing said simply, "How did you know he would come here in advance?"

"I received an email from him a few days ago. It was Zhu Sheng who asked me to help him make two arrangements." Luo Fei spread his hands and said, "He said he wanted to record a song over the weekend, so I guessed that Li Luo would come."

Yuan Wanqing rolled her eyes at her and finally understood why this guy had to come over for a free meal today.

But she was also a little curious: "Why does Li Luo have a new song?"

"Never underestimate the brains of young people." Luo Fei sighed, "Popular songs are not difficult to begin with. I think they are quite nice to listen to, and some of the melodies are very catchy."

"Then let's go and listen." Yuan Wanqing said this as she changed into slippers and walked towards the recording studio on the second floor.

Luo Fei hurriedly followed, his face full of interest, as if he was enjoying the fun.

The two walked all the way to the door of the recording studio on the second floor.

The recording studio in Yuan Wanqing's home is made of special sound-proofing materials.

But it doesn't mean that no sound can be heard.

At least after walking to the door, I could still hear the noise inside.

However, it didn't look like anyone was recording any songs at the moment. Instead, one could vaguely hear two people talking.

Originally, Yuan Wanqing wanted to knock on the door directly, but the next second, her hand stopped.

"Li Luo, be gentle here."

"I don't quite understand what you're saying."

"That is... I will teach you."

Then a burst of singing came from inside.

"Right here, listen carefully, the pronunciation here can be lighter, it gives a ethereal feeling, you are pronouncing it too hard."

Hearing this, Yuan Wanqing's expression relaxed and she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The recording studio suddenly became quiet.

Soon, after the sound of footsteps, Yan Zhusheng opened the door from the inside.

When she saw her mother and Luo Fei, she was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

"I didn't have anything to do on the weekend, so I came back to see you." Yuan Wanqing glanced at Li Luo inside and then asked, "Did I disturb you?"

Yan Zhusheng blinked, then shook his head, made way, and let Yuan Wanqing and Luo Fei in.

"Long time no see, Zhusheng." Luo Fei came in happily, hugged Yan Zhusheng, and rubbed and pinched her face with both hands, "Come on, smile, you look so beautiful when you smile."

"Aunt Luo Fei, we still have to record songs." Yan Zhusheng said this expressionlessly as he let Luo Fei play with his face.

"Alas..." Luo Fei sighed and let go of her hand, "She was cute when she was a child, but she's boring when she grows up."

After finishing speaking, Luo Fei turned to look at Li Luo and said with a smile: "You are Li Luo, right? I have heard about you for a long time, and this time I finally meet you."

"Hello, Auntie." Li Luo greeted politely, "Thank you for helping me arrange the previous songs."

"Just thank Zhu Sheng. I've watched her grow up since she was a child. Arranging music for her is just a small matter."

"So when you have guests at home, why don't you let the cook come over?" Yuan Wanqing asked, "Aren't you planning on eating at home?"

"Auntie misunderstood." Li Luo explained, "We bought some food when we came here, and planned to cook a meal after recording the song, as a way to thank her for helping me record the song."

"You can cook too?" Luo Fei was surprised.

"And it's delicious." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "It's better than what the cooking auntie makes."

"Then I have to try it." Luo Fei said with a smile, "Li Luo, you don't mind, right?"

"Of course." Li Luo smiled, "As long as the two aunts don't mind."

"There's no rush for dinner." Yuan Wanqing's eyes fell on the microphone in the recording studio and the lyrics beside it. "How about letting me listen to your new song first?"

Li Luo nodded.

So Yan Zhusheng, who was standing by, took off the headphones next to him and put them back on Li Luo.

Yuan Wanqing looked at this scene with a slight movement of her eyes.
