112: Chapter 112 "Beauty"

After crying for a while, Chen Mei made up her mind to make this demon suffer a heavier punishment.

She decided to step forward.

A while later, she posted about how she was deceived by Xu Kun and what promises he had made to her.

She posted everything online: how she was abandoned by Xu Kun after getting pregnant, and how she was followed and threatened.

She even attached evidence.

Similar scenes were playing out in other places as well.

Chang Huanhuan made the same choice as Chen Mei, but accompanied by her family, she had an abortion.

She paid a painful price for her willfulness and ignorance.

She would never be able to be a mother with dignity again in this lifetime.

Time quickly reached 14:35.

Tongxing Entertainment Company.

Several heads were staring at the K-line charts online; although they didn't understand much, they watched with extreme seriousness.

Because at Chen Shaoping's strong insistence, all the company's cash—nearly 130 million—would be used to buy stocks.

"Da Ping, this is a huge gamble. Isn't the risk too high?" Li Qian still wanted to advise Chen Shaoping to be cautious. She glanced at Zhang Ying beside her and said dissatisfiedly.

"Ying, instead of trying to talk him out of it, you're joining in the nonsense."

Zhang Ying pursed her lips and smiled. "What's there to fear? If we lose it all, we'll just make him sell songs to support us. He can write them anyway."

Li Qian glanced over. "I don't want him to support me; I have someone to support me."

"It's enough if he supports you."

"Qian, you..."

"Don't argue," Chen Shaoping interrupted them. Seeing that the time was already 14:37, he said loudly, "Buy in."

The funds in the account disappeared, and Chen Shaoping acquired 2.3% of Tiantian Media's stock.

This was the result of the price dropping from 48.3 yuan to 9.51 yuan.

If bought at the peak, it wouldn't even be 1%.

The moment after Chen Shaoping finished buying the stocks, Tiantian Media's stock continued to climb.

In less than half an hour, if they sold the stocks they just bought, Tongxing Entertainment Company's 130 million would have turned into 500 million.

This speed of making money stunned both Zhang Ying and Li Qian.

"Da Ping, you're truly amazing," Zhang Ying couldn't help but compliment.

"That's nothing, there's even more amazing stuff."

Seeing Chen Shaoping's smug look, Li Qian gave a soft huff and walked out.

She didn't give Chen Shaoping any chance to show off in front of her.

Once Li Qian left, Chen Shaoping leaned in close to Zhang Ying.

"Sister Ying, come with me to meet someone tonight."

Zhang Ying dodged him with a look of disdain and asked.

"Who are you going to see? My album is being released tonight; you won't be absent, will you?"

"I'll be there, definitely. I'll be back before midnight. I'm going to see Han Hong and will be back soon."

"Did she ask you for a song?"

"I guess so; she mentioned it during the first episode of the show."

"I won't go today. I'll definitely accompany you if something like this happens again in the future."

"Alright."

...

At 19:03 in the evening, Chen Shaoping arrived as agreed at the meeting place with Han Hong—the Yangcheng All-Beef Banquet Restaurant.

This restaurant served nothing but beef.

Before even entering the restaurant, one could smell a strong scent of beef.

"Teacher Han Hong, I'm sorry for being late," Chen Shaoping bowed and apologized.

Han Hong stood up with a hearty laugh.

The man sitting next to her also stood up.

"Teacher Young Master Ping, you're not late; we just arrived a little early."

"This is Director Xu Jing."

"Director Xu, hello!" Chen Shaoping greeted with a smile.

"Teacher Young Master Ping, hello." Xu Jing didn't put on airs and was quite easygoing.

"Sit, sit, everyone sit down. Why are you standing?"

Just as Han Hong beckoned the two to sit, two waiters brought in a large basin of beef.

They also gave everyone a knife.

Chen Shaoping looked at the knife on the table with some confusion, not knowing what it was for.

He looked at Xu Jing, who seemed to be just as bewildered as he was.

"Eat, don't be polite. I specifically asked the shop to prepare it this way; it's similar to how they do it in my hometown, Qingcheng."

"But it's still not authentic enough."

After saying that, Han Hong was the first to pick up the knife, cut a piece of beef from the basin, and took a large bite.

She was full of heroic spirit.

Chen Shaoping's stomach growled at the sight, and he started to follow her lead.

However, he didn't dare eat the beef directly from the knife with his mouth; he would first take the beef off with his hand and then put it in his mouth.

Han Hong saw this and smiled, saying nothing.

"Teacher Young Master Ping, this is why I asked to meet you today."

"Director Xu Jing filmed a wuxia movie and needed a theme song, so he came to me. But I've been really busy lately, so I thought of you."

"I wonder if you have the time."

After the three of them had almost finished eating, Han Hong put down her knife, wiped her hands, and spoke.

"I was the one who troubled Teacher Han Hong for help. Teacher Young Master Ping, the 'big fish' you wrote added so much color to the movie 'begonia'."

"Some netizens even joked that 'begonia' is just an extra-long MV for 'big fish'."

"So after finishing the movie, I thought of Teacher Young Master Ping, hoping you could lend a hand."

Xu Jing took over from Han Hong, looking at Chen Shaoping with great expectation.

Chen Shaoping didn't think much of it, but it was clear from this that Han Hong and Xu Jing had a very good relationship.

Since business had come knocking on his door, he naturally had to take it.

"I wonder what kind of story Director Xu's movie mainly tells? Only after hearing the story will I know if I can write it."

Xu Jing showed a look of joy and began to summarize the main content of the movie in brief words.

He spoke a lot with great animation.

Chen Shaoping listened carefully. When he heard keywords like "top ancient assassin" and "assassinating the king of an enemy state"...

...a melody filled with a sense of destiny and chivalry instantly surfaced in his mind.

With just those words, he knew which song would be suitable.

And it was a very classic song.

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Director Xu, Teacher Han Hong, to tell you the truth, I have a ready-made piece here whose mood fits this movie perfectly."

Chen Shaoping could only use coincidence as an excuse to avoid further questions from the two.

In reality, his songs were all in the system mall.

"Oh!"

The two exclaimed in unison, their voices much louder.

"Then send it over for us to see," Han Hong urged.

"System, exchange for the song 'red face'."

"[The Host spent 1 paparazzi point to exchange for the song 'red face'.]"},{

"[The Host has 29 paparazzi points.]"

Once the song exchange was complete, Chen Shaoping immediately sent it to Han Hong.

Xu Jing leaned over to Han Hong's side, and they looked at it together.

His brow furrowed slightly, as if he were trying to understand the combination of the melody and the lyrical imagery.

Meanwhile, Han Hong's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her fingers unconsciously tapped the beat on her thigh.

After a moment.

Han Hong was the first to voice her opinion. "This song is indeed very suitable for the movie. Even if I were to write it, I certainly couldn't produce such a fitting and classic song."

"Director Xu, you've found a treasure."

With Han Hong's words, even Xu Jing, who didn't understand music scores very well, felt reassured.

He highly valued the words of a veteran artist like Han Hong.

"Teacher Young Master Ping, I wonder how much you plan to sell this song for?"
