ding dong ding dong ding dong...

The mobile phone continuously beeped, Fang Xing picked up the mobile phone and looked, it was Li Caiwei's message.

Click to open it, and there are six consecutive photos, all of which are food.

Braised fish in soy sauce, yellow braised chicken, pineapple fried rice, stuffed tofu with minced meat, etc., are all dishes.

Fang Xing: What are you doing?Becoming a chef?

Li Caiwei: Sister Hong negotiated a replacement contract. I want to treat you to dinner. I will cook for you. You order three dishes.

Fang Xing: The stuffed tofu with minced meat is ready, you can do whatever else you want.

Li Caiwei: Then I will pick the one I am best at. Are you free tonight?

Fang Xing: I'm fine tonight.

Li Caiwei: Then it's settled, dinner will be served at six o'clock, and the address will be sent to you later.

Six p.m.

Fang Xing drove to Binjiang Huating where Li Caiwei lived, then bought a fruit basket downstairs and carried it upstairs.

Ding Dong!

Fang Xing rang the doorbell and didn't wait long.

The door opened, Li Caiwei was wearing an apron, and greeted: "Come in, you can eat right away. Little Bean Sprouts, get uncle those new slippers."

Xiao Bean Sprout was wearing a princess dress with two braids, grinning, ran over and opened the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of big slippers from the top floor, knelt down and placed them in front of Fang Xing.

After taking the slippers, Xiao Bean Sprout ran back to the kitchen shyly, staring at her with her head.

Fang Xing put on his slippers, put the fruit basket on the dining table, walked over and pinched Little Bean Sprout's face: "It seems to have grown taller."

"The child is like this. He looks different every day. If he doesn't see her for a while, he will feel a lot older." Li Caiwei continued to work in the kitchen, her movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that she was not a freshman in cooking.

Little Bean Sprout raised her head, raised a finger, and said in a childlike voice, "I have grown by one centimeter, and I will grow a little taller every day, and soon I will be as tall as my mother."

"How can it be so fast, you are clingy, mom has to worry about you for at least 20 years." Li Caiwei said worrying, but her tone was full of happiness.

"I'll grow up soon." Little Bean Sprout said confidently.

"Take uncle to wash your hands." Li Caiwei ordered.

Little Bean Sprout ran out of the kitchen, ran into the bathroom door, pointed to the sink and said, "Here."

Fang Xing walked over and turned on the faucet.

Little Bean Sprout stood aside, pointed to the bottles and cans on the sink, and said, "This one is for washing hands, that one is for taking a bath..."

Fang Xing squeezed some hand sanitizer, and after washing his hands, he asked, "How about you? Have you washed it yet?"

Little Bean Sprouts was not as high as the sink's countertop, pouted and said, "Grandma washed it with me, grandma is not at home today."

Fang Xing picked her up, carried her to the sink, and said, "Is this okay?"

Little Bean Sprout rubbed his hands seriously, and after rubbing the palms and backs of his hands, he said, "It's finished."

Fang Xing let her down, and when he walked back to the living room, the food was already on the table.

A steamed sea bass, a pineapple fried rice, and a pot of chicken soup with mushrooms.

Wearing heat-resistant gloves, Li Caiwei took out a plate from the steamer, brought it over and said, "You ordered stuffed tofu with minced meat and a serving of fried vegetables. If you are hungry, you can start."

After finishing speaking, she went into the kitchen again, patted garlic, and prepared to fry vegetables.

The stir-fried sweet potato leaves should be eaten while they are still hot, so they should be left for the last.

Little Bean Sprout came over and took Fang Xing's hand.

Fang Xing lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Little Bean Sprout pointed to the disinfection cabinet, and said in a childish voice, "I can't get it."

Fang Xing walked over, took out three sets of bowls and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet and arranged them, then supported Xiaodou Sprout's armpit, and carried her to sit on her baby chair.

Next, wait for dinner.

The sweet potato leaves are fried very quickly and come out of the pan in a few minutes.

After serving it on the table, Li Caiwei greeted: "You eat first, there is no need to wait, the dishes are all ready."

As she spoke, she went back to the kitchen, turned off the range hood, cleaned up the kitchen waste, wiped the countertop, and then washed her hands to prepare for dinner.

"Try it quickly, it's all home cooking. Do you want to eat first, or drink the soup first?" Li Caiwei took the bowl in front of Fang Xing.

"Let's eat." Fang Xing is used to eating first.

Li Caiwei filled a bowl of rice, put it in front of Fang Xing, and then poured a bowl of soup for herself: "I'm used to drinking soup first, eat it quickly."

While greeting her, she peeled the chicken for her daughter, cut it into pieces with scissors, and put it into a bowl of small bean sprouts.

Fang Xing tasted a piece of stuffed tofu with minced meat first, nodded and praised: "It tastes great."

Li Caiwei smiled and said, "Little Bean Sprouts also likes to eat this dish, but she only eats stuffing, and grandma also helps her eat the leftover bean curd skin, she is too spoiled."

Little Bean Sprouts pouted and argued, "I don't, I eat the skin."

With the scissors, Li Caiwei cut up a piece of minced meat tofu, and put it into the bowl of Bean Sprouts: "Uncle is here for dinner today, if you lose your temper, you won't be cute."

Little Bean Sprout pouted and muttered, "I didn't lose my temper."

As he spoke, he began to use a spoon to eat the vegetables in the bowl.

Fang Xing looked at Little Bean Sprout's stubborn mouth, and thought it was cute. He picked up a bunch of sweet potato leaves, tasted the rice, and said, "The heat is well controlled."

Fried sweet potato leaves are a very homely dish.

It seems very ordinary, but it is very common.

Because of this dish, the grasp of the heat is very critical.

If cooked for a long time, the sweet potato leaves will turn black and become soft.

Not enough heat, and too raw.

Therefore, although this dish is simple, it is difficult for novices to master.

After eating a bowl of rice, Fang Xing filled a bowl of soup, and started talking about business: "Sister Hong has already negotiated the replacement quota?"

"Yes, it's already been negotiated, and the contract will be signed tomorrow. Originally, we couldn't negotiate it. It was up to you. You promised to help me produce the song for the competition, and the program team agreed." Li Caiwei was very happy.

"When will you participate in the recording?" Fang Xing asked again.

Although the number of replacement singers has been discussed, if the contract is signed now, it may not be able to catch up with the next recording.

There are still four days left before the recording of the next issue of "Song".

The singer's schedule is all set one month in advance, and even if there is a temporary replacement, it will be two weeks in advance.

The "Singing Voice" program team will not do such a hasty thing.

Li Caiwei replied: "I will participate in the recording in two weeks, and I will record the fifth episode."

The show "Singing Voice" only eliminates the first singer every two episodes, so the replacement singer can only join every two episodes.

Fang Xing nodded and said: "This time is more relaxed, do you know the rules for selecting songs for the fifth issue?"

"Not yet, the program team will notify me after the contract is signed." Li Caiwei replied.

"After I know the rules of song selection, I'll think about what song to ask you to sing." Fang Xing said.

"Okay. Actually, my idea at the beginning was that I could sing "Painting Heart" first in the first episode. I just don't know if Fu fits the theme of the competition." Li Caiwei said.

""Painting Heart" is also fine, we will decide when the time comes." Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

Now "Song" has only recorded two episodes, and there are still more than two weeks before the fifth episode.

After eating.

Little Bean Sprout pulled Fang Xing, and they lay on the sofa watching TV together.

It was a very childish cartoon, but Fang Xing actually watched it with gusto.

Li Caiwei washed the fruit, cut it and brought it to the tea table.

Little Bean Sprout shouted, "Mom, watch mom sing."

"Don't you watch it every day? I won't watch it today." Li Caiwei said.

"Look, I want to watch my mother sing." Little Bean Sprout began to act like a baby.

Li Caiwei had no choice but to show her the video of "Red Ling".

"Painting Heart" also has a movie trailer, but it is the story of Liaozhai, and Li Caiwei did not show it to her daughter.

Li Caiwei inserted two pieces of apple with a toothpick, and handed it to Xiaodou Sprout: "Give one to uncle."

Little Bean Sprout raised her head and fed the apple into Fang Xing's mouth before eating her own piece.

After eating the fruit, Little Bean Sprouts will also perform a show, dancing the show "Firefly" at the kindergarten party.

Seeing the cute appearance of Little Bean Sprout, Fang Xing was a little lost in thought.

In fact, in her previous life, she was only one step away from starting a family.

If she was really married in her previous life, she should have such a lovely child, right?
It's just that meeting the right person at the wrong time is the biggest regret in my previous life.

In the relationship in the previous life, Fang Xing also dreamed of her life after marriage.

Have a lovely baby and live a happy life.

It's just that life is real.

The two families are not so well-matched.

Fang Xing finally chose to join the musical theater troupe, hoping to achieve results sooner.

It's just that time is too late.

In the end, I had to go through the days of doing odd jobs in the musical troupe alone.

By the time I finally got a role in the Cantonese version of the musical "Late Night Canteen" and my career started to improve, that relationship has passed.

No matter how powerful he is in the musical theater circle afterwards.

The past, after all, has passed.

The happy life I once dreamed of is no longer my own.

Since then, I have never dared to imagine what it would be like to have a family and raise a baby.

The beauty that was only in the dream in the past has become a regret forever.

Seeing Little Bean Sprout dancing lively and lovely "Fireflies" in front of him, what Fang Xing thought of was the theme of the next "Singing" competition, and he also thought about what song he would sing.

A song that tells a heartfelt story in its verse.

This song is very peculiar. When I listened to it, I thought it was not difficult to sing, but when I sang it, I realized that it was not easy to sing.

The lyrics are very realistic, with concise words and sentences, telling a deep story.

This is a song that becomes more flavorful the more you sing it, and more heart-wrenching as you listen to it.

After leaving Li Caiwei's house, Fang Xing returned to his residence and began to compose and arrange the music. In the middle of the night, he played the guitar alone and sang this song for himself.

……

the next day.

Fang Xing received a WeChat message from his manager Qiao Yinghong, saying that there was a work meeting and he was going to the company.

Normally, Fang Xing would not go to the company without notice.

Today's work meeting needs to be attended by myself, so I arrived at the company early in the morning.

The management team of the personal studio has been set up, and the studio now has six employees, responsible for operations, business negotiations, and performance planning for the artists in the studio.

After Fang woke up, the meeting started directly.

Qiao Yinghong announced one thing: "Boss, you said to minimize endorsements and commercial shooting, but this brand endorsement must be accepted, the international famous men's clothing Baoboli.

"I'm in the process of negotiating an endorsement with Bao Boli's general agent in Asia, but the negotiation has not yet been finalized.

"Because we have two or three competitors, plus the boss is only airing one show at the moment.

"If we talk about this endorsement after "The Voice" airs, I'm absolutely sure of getting it.

"Right now, the competition is strong.

"One of the strongest competitors, the boss also knows, is Liu Hongsheng.

"Currently, Baoboli is more inclined to find Liu Hongsheng as an endorsement, and feels that the boss's qualifications are a little less senior."

Since opening a personal studio, the employees of the studio all call Fang Xing the boss.

At the beginning, Fang Xing was not used to it.

Only Guo Keda is still called "Brother Fang".

The current management team of the studio is led by Guo Keda.

His name is "Brother Fang", and he can indeed establish prestige in front of other employees.

After listening to Qiao Yinghong's narration, Fang Xing probably knew what was going on.

Baoboli is indeed an international brand, not only making men's clothing, but also women's clothing and bags.

Bulberry has a great influence internationally.

It can even be said that the endorsement of Baoboli can even improve the celebrity's style.

Fang Xing said strangely: "In my impression, Baoboli has always followed a mature and stable style. I obviously don't meet their requirements."

Although it has become a top stream, so far, only one program "Rising Star" has been broadcast.

And this show is still a men's team talent show.

In terms of grades, not quite enough.

Therefore, in terms of qualifications, it is indeed not in line with Bao Boli's style.

Qiao Yinghong nodded and said: "Indeed, Baoboli has always followed a mature and stable style before. However, in this year's International Fashion Week, Baoboli launched a new series with a youthful style.

"This is related to the new chief designer hired by Baobo Li, and the new designer's design style is more avant-garde.

"It also makes Bao Boli's new series this year more inclined to youth.

"This also means that Bao Boli needs to open up new markets for this new designer.

"So, the endorsement fee that was dropped is much higher than in previous years.

"Since the new series tends to be more youthful and avant-garde, endorsements by top celebrities are also within their consideration.

"It's just that Baoboli's top management has not changed a lot, and the ideas of promotion and endorsement have not changed. It is still uncertain what kind of spokesperson will be selected in the end."

Fang Xing nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then try to fight for it. If you get the endorsement, you can get it. It doesn't matter if you don't get it."

Fang Xing was not in a hurry, one bite would not make him fat.

As long as one step at a time makes the singer's path clear, if he can't get a big-name endorsement now, there will be a big-name endorsement in the future.

Therefore, Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

However, Qiao Yinghong was in a hurry.

As an agent, her job goal is to realize the popularity of artists.

"Rising Star" has been over for almost three months.

Now is the end of the popularity of "Rising Star", if you want to win a big-name endorsement, now is the last chance.

Qiao Yinghong continued: "There is one more thing. Xu Liren, the music director of Puxiang Records, made an appointment for a dinner. I hope the boss will appreciate it."

"Puxiang Records? Is it about "Painting Heart"?" Fang Xing was a little puzzled.

I had dealt with Puxiang Records once before, and that time was bidding for the theme song of "Painted Skin of Liaozhai".

Later Puxiang Records lost the bid, so that deal should not have been pleasant for Puxiang Records.

Of course, record label competition is a normal thing.

Under normal circumstances, a record company wouldn't become hostile just because they couldn't get a list of a film and television theme song.

Qiao Yinghong shook her head and said, "Boss, have you forgotten? The company of Tianwang Liu Hongsheng cooperates with Puxiang Records."

Liu Hongsheng's Hongsheng Entertainment is just a company responsible for operating Liu Hongsheng's personal performing arts resources.

Hongsheng Entertainment itself does not have the ability to produce music.

Therefore, Liu Hongsheng has always been affiliated with Puxiang Records, and all albums are produced by Puxiang Records.

In a sense, Liu Hongsheng can be regarded as the singer of Puxiang Records.

"Uh, I didn't remember it all at once. What did Puxiang record invite us to dinner for?" Fang Xing was a little curious.

"Maybe it has something to do with Baoboli's endorsement. After all, if there are too many competitors, once it comes to the stage of lowering prices, it will be of no benefit to anyone." Qiao Yinghong said.

"Then what do you mean?" Fang Xing asked.

"I suggest meeting with Xu Liren of Puxiang Records. The list of "Painting Heart" last time was won by our strength, but in terms of politeness, we should give them face. The circle is so big, look up It’s better to take a wider road if you don’t look down.” Qiao Yinghong explained.

"Then go have a meal." Fang Xing agreed.

……

Six p.m.

Cloisonne Hotel.

Fang Xing and Qiao Yinghong went to the private room of the hotel together.

As soon as Qiao Yinghong entered the door, she warmly greeted the people from Puxiang Records.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see, you're getting more and more energetic."

"Mr. Qiao, it's the same. He has been promoted recently."

They flattered each other a few words and took their seats.

After tasting all the food and wine, Qiao Yinghong began to ask about the business: "I don't know why Mr. Xu invited you this time? It doesn't seem like Baoboli's business? I haven't seen the manager of Hongsheng Company either."

Xu Liren laughed and said, "Mr. Qiao is too impatient. Today I'm not here to discuss business, but to make friends."

Qiao Yinghong smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is a very busy person. If he has nothing to do, how can he have time to treat us to dinner?"

Xu Liren continued to smile, and said, "It's really not about business, it's about connecting with each other. By the way, I would like to ask Teacher Fang, is the song for the next issue of "Singing" ready?"

Fang Xing replied casually, "It's almost there."

Xu Liren picked up the wine bottle, poured Fang Xing a glass of wine himself, and said, "Are you sure about getting No.1 in the next issue?"

Fang Xing thought for a while and replied, "I can't be sure, but there should be a chance."

Xu Liren continued: "In the next issue, we will re-arrange and make a new version of Liu Tianwang's popular love song for Liu Tianwang in the next issue. The goal is to win the first place, and Tianwang is still worthy of a first place." Bar?"

Qiao Yinghong smiled and said, "Of course, of course, who doesn't know Liu Tianwang's strength and popularity?"

Xu Liren went on to say: "There is still that endorsement. In fact, Liu Tianwang thinks that we can talk about it again, so as to give young people more opportunities."

Qiao Yinghong and Xu Liren, you practice Tai Chi one sentence at a time.

Fang Xing felt a little bored, he couldn't eat much, so he came out to take a breath.

After half an hour.

After Qiao Yinghong finished talking, she translated Xu Liren's words: "What Liu Hongsheng said is that we hope that we will restrain our edge in "Song". Over there, you don’t need to lower our price.”
