Chapter 241 Just Consider the Unfilial Son Dead 8
Although Liu Yuxi told all the entertainment companies that she would consider signing a contract after the New Year, since she should be able to reach the gold level if she waited a little longer.
But she was also curious as to why Sihai Entertainment had given her such high treatment from the very beginning, considering that she was almost 60 years old.
It wasn't until Chinese New Year that Lin Ling'er called her to wish her a Happy New Year: "Teacher Liu, Happy New Year! I'm calling to wish you a Happy New Year!"
"Haha, Happy New Year to you too! How have you been lately?" Liu Yuxi was very happy to receive New Year's greetings from others.
"I'm new to the industry, and there's still so much to learn. The company has also arranged a lot of schedules for me, so I've been incredibly busy lately. I only get to rest for a couple of days during the Chinese New Year." Lin Ling'er's words sounded like a complaint, but Liu Yuxi could still hear the excitement in her tone.
"Haha, it's good for young people to be busy. You can still rest during the New Year now, but when you become more famous, you probably won't even have time to rest during the New Year," Liu Yuxi said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you for your kind words, Teacher Liu. How have you been lately?"
"Me? I don't have anything to do. I usually just stay at home watching TV, and sometimes I go out for a walk to find inspiration."
"Are there any songs you've written recently that would be suitable for me to sing? Our company said that if you have a new song, we'll definitely give you the highest price in the industry, and I can forgo the download revenue share!"
Lin Ling'er spoke with a hint of urgency. She had signed with a company, and naturally, the company would have the songwriting department write songs for her to prepare for her future album releases. However, the quality of her debut songs was too good, and she was genuinely dissatisfied with none of the songs the company showed her. Therefore, she was eager for Teacher Liu to create new works that suited her.
"Not yet. I'll let you know when I've written a song that's suitable for you to sing!" Liu Yuxi could understand her eagerness, but she didn't like it.
The longer you live, the more you see through things. Lin Ling'er started too high and got carried away with the feeling of instant fame. She's unwilling to develop steadily and practically anymore.
This is actually quite normal. Who would want to slowly work their way up to fame if they could achieve it quickly? This isn't to say she's a bad person. If Liu Yuxi hadn't time-traveled and had easily become famous in her early twenties, she would also want things to continue that way.
It's just that Liu Yuxi has traveled through time a lot, so when she encounters this situation, she wants to give her a little mental adjustment. She's only been in the industry for two months, and there's so much to learn. Besides, she already has three representative works. Why is she so eager for quick success? Can't she focus on improving herself first?
To use an imperfect analogy, it's like how the smarter a person is, the more they prefer to be with simple-minded people; the more knowledgeable a person is, the more they appreciate a down-to-earth child, even if that child isn't particularly gifted.
Liu Yuxi's tone remained unchanged, so Lin Ling'er naturally didn't pick up on the other meaning. She simply whispered, "You have so many songs in that notebook, don't you have any that suit me?"
Upon hearing Lin Ling'er's words, Liu Yuxi was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the notebook Lin Ling'er was referring to was the "inspiration notebook" she had prepared earlier.
When she and Li Moxuan were recording songs for the second time, she happened to think of lyrics for a few songs, so she brought the notebook with her. While they were recording, she wrote down some of the lyrics for those songs in the notebook.
She wasn't hiding it from anyone at the time, because there weren't any complete songs in the notebook; it was mostly just one verse per song, and some even only had two or three lines.
At the time, neither of them asked her about the notebook. So this girl thought her notebook was full of finished songs! Now she understands why Sihai Company kept contacting her and offering her a higher level of compensation than other companies. She probably got this information when she asked Lin Ling'er about her situation.
Liu Yuxi was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Lin Ling'er, that notebook is full of my inspirations, not finished songs. I have indeed written a few more songs, but none of them are suitable for you to sing."
She explained the situation to Lin Ling'er, just to avoid any misunderstandings between them. As the saying goes, if a problem can be solved with a few words, it's better to clarify things beforehand.
After all, they're all in the same circle. Although to put it bluntly, in the future, only Lin Ling'er will be begging her, it's best to explain things clearly to people and not let them have any doubts or talk behind your back.
However, she wouldn't offer any more advice. After all, it wasn't her child; their relationship was purely based on mutual benefit. She had no obligation to teach others, did she? Besides, if she said too much, the child might even complain. They were all adults; it was best for them to cultivate themselves independently.
"Huh? That's your notebook for jotting down inspirations? I thought it was for writing songs. When the director of our company's songwriting department asked me about you, I told him that you have half a notebook full of songs. What should we do?" Lin Ling'er was a little flustered. She hadn't officially entered the workforce yet, so she spoke very directly, saying whatever came to mind.
"Haha, then you can talk to him again later. Where would I get so many songs? If I did, wouldn't I have released them long ago? Why would I keep them?" Liu Yuxi said to her with a smile. She thought to herself, "Why does Sihai Company offer such good benefits and keep contacting me?"
"Huh? Is it okay to talk to him again? Won't that be bad? You haven't signed with a company yet, right? I heard from my agent that our company has always wanted to sign you. If I tell him, will it affect you?" Lin Ling'er was now a little regretful. Why did she speak so quickly? Why didn't she ask him then? She was clearly very curious at the time.
"It's alright, but I still wanted to say something. What's the truth is what it is. This news will definitely affect your director's judgment. I haven't decided which company to sign with yet, so it won't affect me." Liu Yuxi didn't want Sihai Company to make a decision to sign her because of this news.
If they think she has half a notebook full of songs, regardless of how the contract was signed, if they want her to write songs, capital will always find a way. She still hopes her life can be simpler.
After hanging up with Lin Ling'er, Liu Yuxi received several other New Year's greetings calls. Then she had nothing else to do and prepared to cook herself a New Year's feast.
In the past two years, her adopted son has never contacted her. Although she sold the house, after buying a cell phone in Beijing, she still left her phone number with a few of her former neighbors with whom she got along well.
It wasn't to wait for that adopted son, but when she sold the house and left, those people asked her where she was going. She didn't want to lie and say she was going abroad to find her son, because she felt uncomfortable with that. So she told them that her son would be living abroad from now on, and she wanted to take advantage of the fact that she could still walk around and see the world.
Although she didn't say anything specific, her son wasn't coming back, so it wasn't hard to guess what was going on. That's why they all told her to leave her contact information so they could stay in touch and put their minds at ease. They were probably worried that she might do something rash again.
This is the warmth of human relationships in China. So, after buying a cell phone, she called her closest friend among those people. They had occasionally kept in touch during the Spring Festival in the past two years, but that friend had never mentioned her adopted son. It was clear that her adopted son would not be coming back to find her anytime soon.
Liu Yuxi felt that the original owner's biggest fear was that he wouldn't be able to control himself and would look for his son, which was why he told Liu Yuxi to stop interfering. It was a pity.
