96: Chapter 96 Arriving at the Bar
In Lounge Room No. 1.
The person who opened the door for Chen Shaoping was not Li Li, but her elder sister, who was also her agent.
The three of them sat on the sofa, with a cup of hot water in front of Chen Shaoping.
"Young Master Ping, may I see the piano piece you mentioned?"
Li Li spoke first. Although she was smiling, her tone revealed a hint of urgency.
The deadline for confirming the final entry pieces for the piano competition was approaching, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.
She truly wanted to achieve good results in this competition.
"Of course, no problem."
Chen Shaoping thought for a moment, then spent 3 paparazzi points to exchange for the piano piece “dream wedding” from the system.
He wasn't sure if foreign musicians would understand the subtle love of Dragon Country.
What if they couldn't grasp the poignant love in butterfly lovers, 'When you live, I live; when you die, I follow'?
So he exchanged for an extra piece, letting Li Li choose for herself.
After the two added each other as friends, Chen Shaoping immediately sent butterfly lovers and “dream wedding” to Li Li.
Li Li eagerly started looking at it, and her elder sister Li Yan also leaned in.
The two sisters read very carefully.
Especially Li Li, whose fingers started playing in the air as she read.
She was completely engrossed.
About two minutes later, the two finished reading the pieces.
When she looked at Chen Shaoping again, Li Li's eyes were filled with admiration.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that two such pieces came from a young Dragon Countryman.
"Young Master Ping, these two pieces haven't been publicly released, have they? I haven't heard them before."
As soon as Li Li finished asking, she immediately regretted it.
If they had been released, and she hadn't heard such two classic pieces...
Then she wouldn't be worthy of playing the piano.
"Sort of."
"butterfly lovers was played once yesterday by first-tier singer Zhang Ying in a Western restaurant in Wansheng Plaza, Yangcheng."
"dream wedding has indeed not been released yet."
Chen Shaoping replied calmly.
"It couldn't be... it couldn't be..."
Li Li was so excited she could barely speak.
"That's right, it's the same restaurant where Ms. Li Li played yesterday." Chen Shaoping knew what she was going to say and admitted it directly.
"Damn it, why couldn't I have waited a little longer yesterday?" Li Li blamed herself.
"It's alright, good things come to those who wait."
"And thank you, Mr. Chen, for thinking highly of my little sister."
Li Yan smiled, her eyes constantly sizing up Chen Shaoping.
"Mainly because Ms. Li Li plays the piano really well. I wanted to collaborate yesterday."
"After hearing Li Li perform the piece on the show today, that desire became even stronger."
Chen Shaoping smiled modestly, "And I believe Miss Li Li will not let these two pieces be forgotten."
"That's for sure. I guarantee these two pieces will stun the world."
Twenty minutes later, Chen Shaoping stood up and smiled as he shook hands with the Li sisters.
"Wishing us a pleasant collaboration."
Ultimately, the mutually satisfactory collaboration method was as follows.
First, the copyright belongs to Chen Shaoping, and Li Li has the right to perform these two pieces. In international competitions, Li Li will be their premiere performer and spokesperson.
Second, after winning an award in the competition, if any audio-visual products or sheet music are released, Chen Shaoping will receive 70% of the generated revenue, and Li Li will receive 30%.
Third, without affecting Li Li, if Chen Shaoping needs help or has a need for Li Li, Li Li must not refuse. Of course, fees will be calculated separately at market price.
Chen Shaoping stood up to leave, and the two sisters also stood up to see him off. He opened the door with a swift movement of his right hand.
Two figures crashed in from outside the door.
At the same time, the system's notification sound arrived.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing a piece of intelligence, you have gained 5 paparazzi points.]
[Host has paparazzi points: 37 points.]
When he saw the two clearly, Chen Shaoping had a face full of black lines, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
After Wang Bo and Zhou Bule steadied themselves, they saw the situation in the room and immediately felt extremely awkward.
Wang Bo was quicker to react.
He scratched his head and said with a smile, "Da Ping, you told us to wait for you for 1 minute, but look how many 10 minutes it's been now."
"We really couldn't wait, so we..."
"Sorry, sorry."
Chen Shaoping really wanted to say he didn't know these two idiots, but they had just received 2 million together on the CCTV stage.
No one would believe him if he said so.
Li Yan saw the situation and probably guessed the reason.
But she decided to tease the three men.
She smiled charmingly and said, "Whose post are you checking on Chen Shaoping? Following him so closely."
"Did you see him enter a room with a girl, and your heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, wanting to know what happened inside?"
"Did you hear the sounds you wanted to hear?"
Wang Bo and Zhou Bule, whose thoughts had been seen through by Li Yan, immediately turned red.
Zhou Bule lowered his head, not saying a word, which was an implicit admission.
Chen Shaoping wished he could kick the two of them on the spot, but he had to force a smile, full of apology.
"I'm sorry for troubling you two."
"Not leaving yet?"
He led the way out the door, with Zhou Bule close behind. After Wang Bo gave Li Yan and Li Li an awkward smile,
He quickly caught up with the two.
Wang Bo, completely lacking in discernment, asked with a cheeky grin, "Da Ping, so you're interested in that young lady who plays the piano, huh?"
"Not bad, you have good taste, much better than Li Wei."
Chen Shaoping was already angry, and Wang Bo was truly walking into the line of fire.
Zhou Bule looked at him with an admiring gaze, as if he were a brave warrior.
Chen Shaoping flashed behind Wang Bo and kicked him squarely in the butt.
"You still have the nerve to talk? Wasn't that embarrassing just now?"
"When Li Yan questioned you, why didn't you even dare to say a word?"
"And you, Zhou Bule. Don't think you can get away with not speaking."
Chen Shaoping also aimed a kick, but Zhou Bule dodged it.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry."
"It was all Brother Bo's idea, I was forced."
Zhou Bule looked helpless and immediately sold out Wang Bo.
Wang Bo's eyes widened, glaring at Zhou Bule.
His lips moved incessantly, but he couldn't utter a clear syllable.
Since you two want to follow me so much, then let's go together.
"Where are we going?" Wang Bo's eyes lit up.
"Didn't you two get too drunk last time?"
"This time, I'll let you drink your fill."
"Oh, and you two should cover yourselves a bit, don't let people recognize you."
Chen Shaoping said.
At the same time.
After Xu Kun's show ended, he didn't greet anyone or return to the hotel prepared by the production team.
He angrily checked into a room at the “Jingdu Nanfang Yuejun” five-star hotel.
Then he started frantically filming videos of himself pouting and acting cute.
He constantly expressed his grievances in fan groups, stirring up his fans' emotions.
Many fans also added his private account after passing his strict requirements.
They kept comforting him.
Wanting to hug him.
...
On the other side.
Chen Shaoping and the other two finally arrived at their destination—Seven Degrees Space Bar.
He checked the time; it was already 23:25.
It was a little late, he hoped Xiao Qi would take it easy and not get himself drunk already.
