Chapter 98 My Mom Wants to Have Dinner with You
"There are two copies of the contract. You keep this one."
In the piano room, Yan Zhusheng accepted one of the contracts and said, "The payment will arrive in about a week or two. Just pay attention to the notification on your bank card."
"Yeah." Li Luo nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't expect that the company would pay 80,000 yuan for a theme song.
And this does not mean buying out all the copyrights of the song, but only some copyrights related to the TV series theme song.
In other words, if someone wants to sing his song in some profitable venues, such as variety shows, the copyright income will still belong to Li Luo.
"My mother said that she would like to treat you to a meal when she is free in the future." After settling the contract, Yan Zhusheng said, "But she has been busy recently, so she is not sure when it will be."
"Sure." Li Luo nodded without thinking too much, "Auntie, just call me when you're free."
"She's been preparing for a new album recently." Yan Zhusheng explained, "And after signing your song, the company arranged for her to sing the theme song, so she will be very busy during this period."
"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, and didn't quite react. "Your mother is a singer?"
To be honest, in his previous life, Li Luo worked in Yan Zhusheng's house for about half a year.
Later, Yan Zhusheng went abroad for treatment because of heart disease.
During this period, Li Luo had never met Yan Zhusheng's mother, so naturally he had no idea what she did.
"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "But she hasn't done this for a long time. She went abroad for treatment and recuperation because of illness. Her health has only gradually improved in recent years."
"Excuse me, what's your mother's name?"
"Yuan Wanqing."
"Hmm..." Li Luo recalled briefly. In his impression, there didn't seem to be much news about this person in the past two years.
Judging from this, Yuan Wanqing’s new album is probably not going to be very effective.
"Oh, by the way, there is another thing I want to ask you." Li Luo continued, "Why don't you ask your mother if anyone in their company is interested in the song "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class"?"
"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded in understanding, "Okay, I'll ask for you tomorrow."
After saying this, Yan Zhusheng sat back in front of the piano. Suddenly, he thought of something, so he looked up at Li Luo and reminded him in a low voice: "That... Aunt Luo Fei thought I wrote the song myself, so she arranged the music for me for free."
"After you get the copyright fee, can you give her a share of the composing fee?"
"Although she didn't want it, if you have new songs in the future, you can build a good relationship with her. Aunt Luo Fei is very good at composing music."
"How much do you usually give?" Li Luo asked.
"It doesn't need to be much." Yan Zhusheng himself didn't know, "Just give a few thousand yuan as a token of appreciation."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Li Luo nodded, and then he heard the sound of a door opening outside the room.
"Li Luo! Where are you?"
Ying Chanxi's voice came in, "I've bought the vegetables, it's time to cook."
"Then I'll go cook first. You can play the piano for a while to amuse yourself."
"Ok."
Li Luo waved his hand and walked out of the piano room.
The next second, a melodious melody came from behind.
Ying Chanxi's eyes instantly locked onto Li Luo, and he leaned in to take a closer look at his collar and face: "What are you doing in there?"
"I chatted with the guests for a while." Li Luo held Ying Chanxi's head and took her to the kitchen. "Come and help me."
"I know, let go." Ying Chanxi pouted and slapped his hand away, "Don't touch my hair, or you won't grow taller."
"Are you so superstitious?" Li Luo took the apron from the kitchen wall and handed it to Ying Chanxi.
But Ying Chanxi didn't use his hands to receive it. He just lowered his head and passed through the middle, putting it on his body, then turned around and said, "Help me tie it."
The two of them helped each other tie their aprons and started busying themselves in the kitchen.
The lunch was very sumptuous. It was the first time for Qiao Xinyan to eat food cooked by Li Luo. She was amazed while eating.
"Li Luo, you were a chef in your previous life, right?" Qiao Xinyan swallowed the food in her mouth and couldn't help saying, "It tastes better than what is cooked in a restaurant."
Li Luo: "...as long as you think it tastes good."
After dinner, Ying Chanxi felt a little sleepy, so he pulled Qiao Xinyan back to the bedroom for a nap, and the two girls cuddled up in bed.
Xu Youyu came up to Yan Zhusheng, hugged him, and said with a smile: "Zhusheng, how about you accompany me to wash the dishes? Let's chat."
"Oh, okay." The naive Yan Zhusheng didn't think much about it. After being invited by Xu Youyu, he obediently went into the kitchen and waited for orders, which made Li Luo speechless.
However, with the living room free, Zhao Rongjun felt much more comfortable and relaxed a lot. He leaned back on the sofa, where he had been sitting upright before.
"How about going to school to play ball later?" Li Luo sat down next to Zhao Rongjun, turned his head to look at the two slim figures washing dishes in the kitchen, and then asked.
"Aren't you studying in the afternoon?" Zhao Rongjun asked curiously.
"What's wrong? Are you addicted to studying?" Li Luo glanced at him, "Weren't you very resistant to studying before?"
"Am I resisting learning?" Zhao Rongjun was speechless. "It was you who lied about the military intelligence."
"You didn't ask how many people there were yesterday."
"That means concealing military intelligence. It's all your fault anyway."
"Okay, okay." Li Luo laughed and said, "Let's go play ball this afternoon and leave the four of them here."
"Isn't that a bit bad?" Zhao Rongjun asked in a low voice, "After all, I'm not the only guest."
"I think you need to change your character of always considering others first." Li Luo patted his shoulder, "Besides, Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu are also the masters of this place. Isn't it enough for them to accompany one of them? I will accompany you exclusively."
Zhao Rongjun felt much more comfortable after hearing this: "Okay then, what time are we going to play ball?"
"Take a half-hour break to digest the food." Li Luo stretched on the sofa, then went to the piano room to get his guitar, plucked the strings lightly, and hummed a little tune.
But soon, Ying Chanxi's bedroom door was opened, and Ying Chanxi's complaining voice came from inside: "Li Luo! Xinyan and I are going to take a nap, please keep your voice down."
"Oh, sorry, I forgot." Li Luo put away the guitar angrily and put it back.
Unable to play the piano to cultivate his sentiments, Li Luo could only return to the master bedroom with Zhao Rongjun and play a small two-player game on the computer.
When the time is almost up, I get up and go out to play ball.
"Where are you two going?"
Xu Youyu, who was chatting with Yan Zhusheng in the living room, saw the two putting on their shoes at the door and immediately asked in confusion, "Why are you sneaking around without calling us?"
"Go play basketball at school." Li Luo rolled his eyes at her. "Do you know how to play? If not, don't shout."
"You can't fight, but you can't watch?" Xu Youyu puffed out his chest unconvinced and said angrily, "Wait a minute, I'll go too, Zhusheng, are you going?"
"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, not caring what he did, and then stood up and walked towards the door, "Do you want to call them?"
As he spoke, Yan Zhusheng pointed at Ying Chanxi's bedroom and asked.
"They are still sleeping, so I won't call them anymore." Xu Youyu shook his head, went back to the house to change his clothes, and then changed his shoes at the door. He patted Li Luo on the back and said, "Let's go!"
