Only half a year ago, Gu Xin was still an unattainable idol to Ding Meng. But now Qiao Yichen told her that he wanted her to defeat Gu Xin and stand in his place.
And the strangest thing about the whole thing is that when Ding Meng looked into Qiao Yichen's eyes, she thought she could do it.
After the Golden Melody Award was awarded, the music festival was coming to an end. When Ding Meng was leaving the venue, she met Tang Shiran. Tang Shiran's face was not very good-looking, far from being as complacent as when he came.
She didn't talk to Ding Meng, and Ding Meng didn't want to rush up on her own, and quickly walked out of the venue following the crowd.
Jiang Man's assistant took her downstairs and looked up at the high-end apartment in front of him: "Hey, you and Da Qiao live in the same apartment?"
Ding Meng: "..."
Did she actually know that Qiao Yichen also lived here...
Ding Meng snorted, "I only found out after I moved in, hehe."
The assistant nodded, no doubt about him: "I knew that I had asked Da Qiao to send you back, ah, but it's not very good to be seen by others."
Ding Meng smiled at her and quickly ended the topic: "Thank you for sending me back, be careful on the road, good night."
After she finished speaking, she opened the car door and ran in. Shortly after she got home, Qiao Yichen also came back.
Ding Meng had just finished taking a shower, wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom. When Qiao Yichen saw her, she leaned over to hug her and smelled her: "My wife is really fragrant."
Ding Meng reluctantly shook him off: "Go and wash yourself."
Qiao Yichen laughed, then bent down and sniffed in her hair: "No, I have something I want to give you."
Ding Meng twitched the corners of her mouth: "Don't say it's you..."
The smile on Qiao Yichen's face deepened. He walked to the table, opened the drawer, and took out a small gift box: "I already belonged to my wife. This is what I want to give you. Congratulations on winning the Newcomer Award."
Ding Meng took the box from his hand and glanced at it. Judging from this size, it should be a small accessory or something, shouldn't it be a ring
She looked at Qiao Yichen suspiciously and opened the box. It wasn't a ring, but a jade pendant. Ding Meng picked it up and took a closer look, only to find that it was carved into the shape of a bird holding an ear of wheat.
"I wish you a great album in advance." Qiao Yichen said with a smile.
"Thank you." Ding Meng likes this jade pendant very much. The bird is very cleverly carved. The barley and grains it holds in its mouth are also carefully carved one by one, very full. Although she didn't know much about jade, just by looking at this carving, she knew that it must be very valuable, "Is this thing very expensive?"
Qiao Yichen said, "It's only a few thousand yuan from an acquaintance."
"Only a few thousand dollars?" Ding Meng didn't quite believe that this jade pendant was not flat, but three-dimensional. How could it cost tens of thousands? "What kind of jade is this?"
"Hetian jade." Qiao Yichen took the jade pendant and walked around behind her, "I'll put it on for you."
"Oh." Ding Meng stood still and asked him to put it on her neck. After wearing it, she looked in the mirror, the small jade just fell between the collarbones, very cute: "This is so beautiful, thank you Dog Dan."
Qiao Yichen smiled and kissed her face: "No thanks, baby."
Ding Meng: "..."
Her ears were red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Qiao Yichen hugged her and couldn't help kissing her face. Ding Meng pushed him: "Go take a shower first..."
"Together?" Qiao Yichen didn't want to let her go.
Ding Meng was speechless: "...I just washed it."
Qiao Yichen was reluctantly rushed to the bathroom to take a battle bath, no more than five minutes before and after. Then he happily took his wife for tonight's physical training and had a good night's sleep.
After the awards ceremony, everything returned to normal, and Ding Meng returned to the two-point and one-line life in the training center and recording studio. However, the popularity of the awards ceremony continued on the Internet for a while, and Ding Meng's Weibo fans grew to 4 million, and the comments were full of congratulatory messages from fans.
When Ding Meng reached 4 million fans, she finally took a selfie that she was satisfied with and uploaded it on Weibo: "Thank you for your support, the number of fans has exceeded 4 million at an astonishing rate! I will continue to work hard~ (≧▽≦)/~ My new album has started recording, and I hope you all stay tuned~[Blowing kiss]”
Fans were half happy and half worried when they heard she was recording an album.
"Mengzhu is recording an album, then we won't be able to hear your charming singing voice for a long time QAQ"
"The album has to be recorded for at least half a year... During this time, I can only lick advertisements and magazines [bye bye]"
"You guys should think that once the album is recorded, you can hear ten new songs in one go!"
"Don't panic, there's a chorus with Gu Shuai! "With You" will be released soon!"
"Master Meng is actually going to release an album! There are only a few singers who are still insisting on releasing albums. Master Meng is so handsome. QAQ and other albums have been released and I have personally contracted 20 copies!! 10 collections and 10 gifts!"
"Aoaoao support Mengzhu's new album! So excited! As one of the four major altar owners, I said that we have contracted 100 copies in the southwest region. If you want a little lemon, you can follow our post bar and support club Weibo, The event information will be announced on it at that time! [Like for everyone to see]"
“… Ask the sub-forum in city A to also hold activities QAQ@小lemma in the sub-forum in city A”
"Wait a moment to say whether the event will be a little early _(:з"∠)_ But I will still support Mengzhu's album! Start saving! "
…
Time unknowingly arrived on December 25, and "With You" was released as scheduled. Major regular music platforms have put this song on the most prominent picture recommendation position on the homepage, and "With You" also quickly reached the top of various charts at the same speed.
Ding Meng felt that it was good to rub against Gu Xin.
This song not only has high popularity on the Internet, but the CD also sells well. Because the disc will send postcards, and the single disc is not expensive, there are still many fans who are willing to buy it. Of course, Gu Xin's own appeal is also one of the important reasons.
Later, when Ding Meng swiped on Weibo, she found that many fans Aite posted her discs. It seems that she also contributed to the sales.
Because of her, Qiao Yichen specially asked someone to buy a plate for him and take it to the office to listen.
"With You" was written and composed by Gu Xin, a singer with original talent, which can be regarded as a rare treasure in the mainland music scene. In fact, there is no shortage of talented original musicians in the mainland, but most of them do not receive the respect and protection they deserve. When music could not sustain them, they gave up creating. So it slowly evolved into a singer who wanted to sing, but couldn't find someone who wrote the song.
Without the protection of original creators and copyrights, it is difficult for the music scene to develop again. Whenever Qiao Yichen thinks of this, he also feels powerless.
He put the CD into the computer's CD-ROM drive and clicked on the player.
The opening chapter is a hearty bass solo, stirring up the excitement of the listener's entire body in an instant.
He believed that it was from Gu Xin's hand.
Gu Xin's singing quality is guaranteed, and Ding Meng's singing also surprised Qiao Yichen. Although her voice is clear, it is equally sexy to add a little breath.
Her appearance is also very beautiful, and her seemingly non-existent provocation is like a kitten's paw scratching her heart, itching shallowly.
... This look is enough for him to see alone.
Qiao Yichen waited for the song to finish, ejected the CD, and put it in the CD case.
At this time, Ding Meng was in the process of confirming the next work plan with Jiang Man. The advertisement that Jiang Man helped her to receive had a good response, so Jiang Man took advantage of her just winning the award and helped her to pick up two more.
Both are snack ads.
Ding Meng is very satisfied with these two advertisements.
After discussing the work, Jiang Man saw the jade pendant that Ding Meng was hanging around his neck. Her eyes moved, and she asked casually, "This pendant of yours is very beautiful, did you buy it yourself?"
Ding Meng subconsciously touched the pendant on her neck and said, "No, it was given by a friend, it's just a gadget."
"A little thing?" Jiang Man looked at her and smiled, "If I read it right, you should be a one-seed round carving. Not only is Hetian jade of good quality, but the carving is also quite superb."
Ding Meng frowned, she really didn't understand this very well: "What does the one-seed round carving mean?"
"That is, your piece of jade is not cut from a large piece of jade, but a complete piece of Hetian jade seed material. The engraver has to design the pattern according to its own appearance, and then carve it. This is from both art and engraving. All have high requirements on the engraver. Your design and engraving work are amazing, and it must be from the hands of a master."
"Master?" It sounded a bit outrageous, "Then how much is this worth?"
Jiang Man said, "I estimate there must be at least 1.8 million."
Ding Meng: "..."
Jiang Man glanced at her, his eyes became ambiguous, "The person who gave you the pendant might have other ideas about you?"
Ding Meng: "..."
She couldn't wait to go home at night, so she rushed to Qiao Yichen's office to find him.
The secretary at the door thought she was coming to Qiao Yichen to discuss the new album, and did not stop her.
When Ding Meng rushed in, Qiao Yichen was looking at the computer. She closed the office door and walked over.
Qiao Yichen looked up at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ding Meng's eyes swept across the "With you" on his desktop, and she asked angrily, "How much did you say last time for this pendant?"
Qiao Yichen said, "A few thousand dollars."
Ding Meng: "..."
Still lying to her!
"Jiang Man told me just now that this thing is worth at least 1.8 million. Do you really think there is no one who knows the goods?"
Qiao Yichen: "..."
"Why are you cheating me for only a few thousand dollars?"
He was silent for a while, looked at her and said, "Well, if I told you the real price, would you still wear it?"
"Of course not!" Just thinking about how she wore millions of things ostentatiously for a few days, she was afraid, "This kind of thing should be kept at home, you really, give such an expensive thing to do what?"
Qiao Yichen looked at her for a while, and said, "This kind of valuable thing is not very precious. To me, only you are priceless."
