Chapter 98 - They Were Genuinely Original
Even though Mr w.a.n.g claimed he would let Deng Yufei appear in a lot of movies and dramas, nothing materialized. In her opinion, it did not matter to her whether she ended up cutting an alb.u.m.
She felt it was more important to salvage her relations.h.i.+p with Chu Ling.
Chu Ling hesitated slightly. "Go back for now. I will get back to you."
Deng Yufei knew he wanted to verify whether the songs were original and free of plagiarism. Also, he might want to communicate with the film crew.
She had plenty of time to wait.
As long as she could go back on the program, and back into Fu Xiuyuan"s line of sight, she did not mind waiting!

Chu Ling handed the songs to Hu Lai. "Check these out."
"I will check the intellectual property platform and see if these songs are original," said Hu Lai. "If we can use these five songs, your alb.u.m is halfway to success! It is easy as pie to give Deng Yufei a second chance for the program."
Hu Lai quickly checked the songs and failed to find them on any intellectual property platform. This meant the songs were genuinely original.
Hu Lai felt this was a good deal. She had undoubtedly underestimated Deng Yufei"s songwriting ability. She used to think it was pure coincidence that Deng Yufei wrote those two previous songs. However, she was unexpectedly able to keep this up!
If she had known how gifted Deng Yufei was, she would have been more polite!

Even though s.h.i.+ Jin had set things in motion, nothing would happen to Deng Yufei in the short term.
She was not anxious either. She stopped thinking about the matter and proceeded to pick a plant from her garden and carefully placed it in a pot.
Ye Peiwen was leaving for home today and they made plans to meet up and eat.
In just a matter of days, they became fast friends. Despite their age gap, they could chat about anything. So s.h.i.+ Jin wanted to give her the mint.
Ye Peiwen and s.h.i.+ Jin happily chatted over dinner. Ye Peiwen was particularly happy when she received the mint. "Thanks so much, Little Stone! This little comeback of mine has been absolutely thrilling."
Ye Peiwen hugged s.h.i.+ Jin and gave her a couple of kisses on her cheek.
"I am very happy you could be my guest performer," said s.h.i.+ Jin solemnly as she looked into her eyes. "This is mint. Use cold water to water it daily so that it will flourish. You can clip them daily for use."
"Okay. Got it!" Ever since Ye Peiwen came to the capital, she had a good appet.i.te and good rest, so her voice had recovered almost completely and she felt invigorated. It was all thanks to s.h.i.+ Jin.
Also, she received a lot of a.s.signments recently and even advertis.e.m.e.nt offers. She felt s.h.i.+ Jin was bringing her good fortune.
After dinner, Ye Peiwen had to board the plane and leave. So s.h.i.+ Jin and Ye Peiwen got into the car and headed to the airport. On their way there, Ye Peiwen felt energized and chatted to s.h.i.+ Jin about singing.
Several cars suddenly followed behind them with their car lights on when they got onto the expressway.
"Do you think it"s the paparazzi?" Ye Peiwen immediately said, "Why don"t I drop you somewhere? Don"t bother sending me to the airport."
She was worried that the paparazzi might end up taking pictures of s.h.i.+ Jin because of her.
s.h.i.+ Jin glanced at the cars behind her and quickly caught on. Were they not Fu Xiuyuan"s subordinates?
