Chapter 241 – Why is it Tingshan District again
Xixi returned to kindergarten, and Mo Fei was finally able to return to work.
The company was actually pushing her hard. During this period, she had to quickly record the song “Across the Ocean to See You”. Taking advantage of the strong trend after the program aired, Tianmei planned to have Mo Fei release this single first, making it available on music websites for fans to download for a fee, in order to attract a wave of popularity.
Upon arriving at the company, Mo Fei saw Mo Xiaojuan. This girl had been on a leave for a week and came back humming a song, looking in a good mood. Mo Fei wondered if she had found a boyfriend.
But Mo Fei wasn’t interested in gossip. She had something to discuss with Mo Xiaojuan.
“Xiaojuan, I remember you rented a house before, right?” Mo Fei asked Mo Xiaojuan before starting work.
Mo Xiaojuan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
“Oh, I see. I’m going to move in with Yang Yi…” Before Mo Fei could finish her words, Mo Xiaojuan looked up at her with a sly smile and a funny expression on her face.
“What’s the matter with you?” Mo Fei felt a bit fl.u.s.tered by her gaze.
“Hehehe, Big Sister, I’ve been telling you to move there a long time ago! You kept pushing it off!” Mo Xiaojuan laughed and pulled Mo Fei, saying, “I’ve already seen your relationship with brother-in-law. Moving in together was just a matter of time!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m not moving there for Yang Yi. It’s just that Xixi keeps clinging to me, and I can’t bear to leave her.” Mo Fei scolded Mo Xiaojuan and pushed her slightly, retorting.
“Oh, anyway, it’s going with the flow. Just go with it!” Mo Xiaojuan had a knowing expression on her face.
Mo Fei felt a little uneasy in her heart by this person’s antics, afraid that more “embarra.s.sing things” would be dug up. She quickly said, “I’m not going to talk nonsense with you. I just wanted to tell you that I’m going to live at Yang Yi’s place now, and the house in Binhai will be vacant. Aunt Zhu is also there, so you might as well move in and not have to rent a house.”
However, Mo Xiaojuan looked at Mo Fei awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, “Big Sister, I can’t… I just rented a house with Xiao Ai in Tingshan District. We’ve paid the rent and deposit.”
This was actually true. After all, the houses that Mo Xiaojuan and Xiao Ai rented before were in Binhai, and running to Tingshan every day to handle the studio was also very tiring. So, they impulsively decided to share a house and found one together last week. They had just moved in.
“Xiao Ai? Why Tingshan District?” Mo Fei was a bit confused and asked in disbelief.
Tingshan District again! How coincidental! She and Yang Yi were also in Tingshan District.
“Because Xiao Ai works at a company in Tingshan District, and I’m accompanying her there,” Mo Xiaojuan said somewhat nervously.
Mo Xiaojuan was now particularly afraid that Mo Fei would dig deeper. If she continued to ask like this, the preparations for the studio might be exposed!
Mo Fei didn’t intend to inquire further. She smiled and said, “No wonder you’ve been taking frequent leave recently. So, you went looking for a house.”
“Hmm, yes! But don’t worry, Big Sister. Even if I live in Tingshan District, it won’t delay your work. I will definitely do a good job!” Mo Xiaojuan quickly said, “By the way, Big Sister, I can still pick you up on my way to the company and drop you off when we go back!”
Mo Fei shook her head and smiled. “No need, Yang Yi has already agreed to pick me and drop me off every day. It’s just that I’ll have to reduce overtime and late nights in the future.”
Mo Xiaojuan saw the topic shifting, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and rubbed Mo Fei’s shoulder, saying, “Big Sister, that’s the right idea! We women can’t always work so hard. We can work hard when we’re young, but gradually our skin will get worse and worse.”
“Okay, okay, I know!” Mo Fei retorted.
……
Jin Yingming arrived on time, and Mo Fei apologized to him again. Although she had been honest with him about the reasons before, Mo Fei felt that her repeated leaves had affected Jin Yingming’s schedule, and felt very sorry for it in her heart.
“No, Mo Fei, you don’t have to apologize to me. I’m also a parent, and when my daughter was young, she was quite a handful, so I can understand your difficulties very well!” Jin Yingming waved his hand and smiled. “But I’m a bit surprised. Mo Fei, you actually have a child, and there wasn’t any rumor about it in the media before.”
“Mainly because I didn’t want my child’s life to be affected. The excessive media attention makes me worry that my daughter won’t be able to grow up happily like other ordinary children,” Mo Fei said softly.
“So, I kindly ask Teacher Jin to help keep it a secret!” Mo Xiaojuan added with a playful smile.
“That’s certainly not a problem. As a music producer, keeping secrets is a basic skill,” Jin Yingming said half-jokingly.
Mo Fei had no interest in idle chitchat with others, and Jin Yingming understood that. So, he didn’t waste any more words, and they entered Mo Fei’s exclusive recording studio, and nervously began the recording work of “Across the Ocean to See You.”
After resting for a week, although Mo Fei maintained her daily practice, it could be considered as giving her voice some maintenance.
On this day when she came back to record, Mo Fei felt in great condition. In one morning, she recorded several audio tracks that both she and Jin Yingming thought were good.
“In the afternoon, let’s try lowering the key in this section and see how it sounds. If we maintain this state, I think we can finish recording this song in the next two days!” At noon, Jin Yingming waved his fist and said happily to Mo Fei.
“Mmm!” Mo Fei nodded lightly, although the joy in her heart didn’t show.
While waiting for Mo Xiaojuan to bring back lunch, Mo Fei didn’t relax. She put on her headphones and listened to the audio she had recorded this morning on one ear.1
Jin Yingming said enthusiastically,, “Mo Fei, let me tell you, I’ve made a new discovery. Mr. Mu Li’ang should be in the Tingshan District!”
“Tingshan District?” Mo Fei paused, turned her head, and looked at Jin Yingming with confusion.
Today she seemed to have a connection with this word… Living in Tingshan District, being sent from Tingshan District by Yang Yi, and now Mo Xiaojuan moved to live in Tingshan District. Now Jin Yingming mentioned Tingshan District again…
Why is it Tingshan District again? So much so that when Mo Fei heard Jin Yingming’s words, she subconsciously focused her attention on this “Tingshan District”.
Then she noticed that Jin Yingming was talking about Mu Li’ang!
“Yes! I think the possibility of Mr. Mu Li’ang living in Tingshan District is very high!” Jin Yingming, who was now a die-hard fan of Mu Li’ang, spoke of him in high spirit, “And Mr. Mu Li’ang is very likely to be at Jiangcheng Media University, perhaps even a teacher at Jiangcheng Media!”
Mo Fei had an indescribable feeling in her heart, “Why do you say that?”
“Because I found one of Mr. Mu Li’ang’s new songs, and it’s really new! Because it hasn’t appeared in the market yet!” Jin Yingming walked to his backpack, took out a CD case he had with him, carefully took out a CD, and excitedly said, “A friend accidentally discovered that this commemorative CD of this year’s Jiangcheng Media University freshman party contains Mr. Mu Li’ang’s new song. He knew I liked it and brought it to me.”
Mo Fei looked at him, furrowed her brows and remained silent for unknown reasons.
“This new song is called ‘College Days’. Although it was sung by a freshman, the song is written very well! It’s a campus folk song that I really like!” Jin Yingming said with excitement, as if presenting a treasure, “Mo Fei, do you want to listen to it? Let me tell you, after watching this video, you’ll definitely understand why I speculate that Mu Li’ang might live in the Tingshan District and could be a teacher at Jiangcheng Media University!”
Mo Fei stared fixedly at the CD, unsure of what she was thinking, or rather, her mind seemed blank. After a while, she gently said, “Let’s take a look…”
