September 25th, morning, sunny.

  An old-fashioned sedan, very worn out, was parked in a corner several dozen meters away from the He Rongqing's house.

  This position is generally not noticeable by people, especially it's hard to be noticed by He Runqing.

  Zheng Guochang borrowed boiling water from the gatekeeper to cook instant noodles, then ran back with his bowl of instant noodles. Before getting in the car, he looked up at He Runqing's house and found no movement, so he opened the door and got in. He put down the instant noodles, took out two sausages from his bag, tore them open with his mouth, and threw them into the instant noodle bowl.

  It's been almost twenty days and he has eaten instant noodles until he is nauseous, but there is no choice, he still has to continue eating.

  As a veteran entertainment journalist, Zheng Guochang has been in the industry for six years and is already accustomed to this life, so he can still hold on.

  Besides, if you don't go through hardships and difficulties, how can you make a lot of money?

  Ten days ago, there were more than a dozen or twenty entertainment reporters like him who had been guarding the entrance of this community and even inside the community. However, after discovering that He Runcheng had been hiding at home for so many days without even leaving his house, everyone quickly dispersed. Now, only Zheng Guochang himself is still persisting.

  Then Zheng Guochang knew that if there was really news, then this news would soon be in his hands!

  He Rongqing has been with Sony Records for almost six years, and has become very famous. Although her last two albums did not sell as well as expected, and it seems like she is starting to decline, at least for now, she is still the queen of sweet songs and has not fallen to the point where no one cares about her. But just at this time, when she had more than a year left on her contract with Sony Records, she suddenly fell out with them.

  According to industry insiders, He Rundong spent 3.5 million yuan out of his own pocket to buy out the remaining one-year contract and a record deal, and has officially parted ways with Sony Music!

  Anyone who has been in the entertainment industry, even if it's just a peripheral entertainment reporter like Zheng Guochang, knows that Sony Records is the biggest player in the industry. The combination of He Rongqing, the Queen of Sweet Songs, and Sony Records was an absolute strong alliance. So why did He Rongqing suddenly fall out with Sony Records? And even if they had fallen out, there was still a bit of tail left on the contract, wasn't it worth just dragging things out for that last little bit of time? Even following normal logic, He Rongqing should have just dragged things out to make it more suitable and cost-effective!

  So, in Zheng Guochang's view, He Runqing suddenly acted so unreasonably and was so anxious to break up with Sony that the only explanation is that He Runqing was eager to jump ship!

  And I'm sure her record company must have offered her a sky-high contract!

  Hua Ge? Xinda? Era? Dong Fang? Asia?

  It's easy to imagine that no matter which one, once He Runkui changes to a new owner, it will definitely be big news!

  And if a reporter can dig out the news ahead of time and publish it one step earlier, it will surely cause a sensation and attract great attention - the higher the reporting attention, the higher the newspaper sales. The higher the newspaper sales, the higher the reporter's commission!

  The entire music industry's heavyweight figures, in fact, are just a handful of people, and the news hotspots naturally focus on them. However, recently, it's been a bit strange - Zhen Zhen is still preparing her album that has been in preparation for almost three years, Feng Fei Fei is low-key as usual, Liu Ming Liang's new album was a flop, and he's quite embarrassed to show his face. Wu Xing Wu Su is also keeping a low profile. Zhao Xin Fu and his 17-year-old girlfriend are inseparable, but the news has been hyped for over a month, and readers are already tired of it. Similarly, Zhou Mei's comeback was highly anticipated at first, but despite the hype, no one has taken her photo or interviewed her, and she has reportedly disappeared recently, causing the buzz to gradually die down.

  Recently, the most popular one is Liao Liao, who has made a big splash with her new album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou". With only two albums, she has already become a top-tier queen of the music scene. The original four queens of the domestic music scene can't help but feel inferior in front of her terrifying sales figures. However, Liao Liao is known for being low-key and not seeking attention, so apart from her explosive sales, there's not much else to report about her.

  Following closely behind is Huang Yuqing, who has been extremely popular recently. In fact, it's not even necessary to dig up any news about him - just open a newspaper, turn on the TV, or flip through a magazine, and you'll see him everywhere. What's there to dig up?

  So, after repeated analysis, Zheng Guochang finally targeted He Runqing as the next explosive point for music circle news.

  With so many years of experience as an entertainment reporter, this explosive point is not worth mentioning, but once it comes out, the prize money alone will be enough for him to eat for a year!

  To know, the Queen of Sweet Songs, her status in the domestic music scene is still quite impressive.

  Soon, he felt it was about right, tore off the bowl cover, stirred a few times, and started eating noodles.

  Of course, while eating noodles, he still couldn't help but lift his head every now and then to glance at the entrance of He Runqing's house.

  His face turned pale and he felt a little nauseous, he couldn't take it anymore. He twisted open the mineral water bottle, just wanting to take a sip of water. In the time it took him to lift his head, he suddenly discovered that He Runqing had actually gone out.

  At this moment, Zheng Guochang's eyes suddenly lit up.

  Take a closer look, it's really He Runqing, genuine!

  And she's dressed quite formally, obviously going out to meet people and show her face, absolutely not a casual street look!

  This discovery suddenly revitalized Zheng Guochang's exhausted spirit, and after hastily drinking two mouthfuls of water, he tightened the bottle cap and threw away the water bottle. He carefully opened the car door just a crack, quietly put the remaining half bowl of noodles on the ground, then carefully closed the door again, and immediately picked up his camera.

  However, He Runqing seemed very alert.

  She stood at the door of her own home under the scorching sun, looking around, as if waiting for someone, and also as if observing whether there were any temporary reporters - Zheng Guochang did not dare to make a move.

  About a minute later, a business car came over and stopped accurately in front of He Runqing's house.

  Zheng Guochang, who had gathered intelligence, recognized it at a glance. It was the commercial vehicle that He Runqing himself had bought. She would often take this car when attending events or going out for something nearby.

  It's coming!

  He Runkui got on the car, and the car started immediately, turned around and drove out of the community. Meanwhile, Zheng Guochang also closed the door with force at the first time, started the car and chased after him directly.

  …………

  Anbei Building

  For an entertainment reporter, this is an extremely unfamiliar place.

  Building C, first floor lobby.

  Zheng Guochang watched as He Runqing entered the empty elevator with her agent. And then he watched as the elevator stopped on the eighth floor.

  Then, as he saw the elevator stop, he forcibly suppressed his inner excitement and pressed the button.

  …………

  Huahua Records, Deputy General Manager Shen Qingxiang, Wu Xing Wusu combination, and agent.

  Sony Records, General Manager Watanabe Kazuichi, Music Director Xie Mingyuan, and Liu Mingliang's brother and agent Liu Minghui.

  Chang Sheng Records. General Manager Chen Changsheng, Art Director Du Xiaoming, and singers Zhou Feng, Huang Mai, Lin Xiufeng, Diao Yixiong, etc.

  Some broker, some broker, and some broker...

  Half an hour ago, in front of Li Qian's studio on the 8th floor of Building C, Anbei Mansion. The door was crowded with people, but half an hour later, it suddenly became a gathering place for distinguished guests.

  Oh, right. There were no seats, so everyone was standing.

  Because no one was invited, everyone just prepared to set off a few firecrackers and that's it. So, facing the sudden arrival of so many guests, the studio was completely unprepared.

  Then a rather peculiar scene appeared, with several heavyweight guests in the circle standing in groups of three to five in the office area, each holding a disposable paper cup filled with half a cup of pure water.

  It's already good enough if you can offer a cup of water to those in need!

  In the studio, there isn't even a single employee yet. The task of serving tea and pouring water is being done by Huang Wennhua and Wang Jinglu. After handing each guest a cup of water one by one, the two girls are already sweating profusely.

  All Li Qian could do was shake hands, shake hands, shake hands... "Hello", "hello", "hello"... "Thank you for your visit", "I really didn't expect you to come", "There's nothing prepared, I'm really sorry, it's my fault"...

  …………

  Goodbye Wuxingwusu, Li Qian still has a smile on her face, but they all look a bit awkward.

  Li Qian has already nodded in agreement to be the producer of their next album, and even the contract between both parties has been finalized, all that's left is Li Qian's signature. It can be said that everyone will definitely cooperate from now on, but it's clear that for those young girls who are still very tender, the feeling of unfamiliarity they once had, of course, cannot be said to not exist just because it's inconvenient.

  So they met, and several girls continued to call "Li Qian teacher" in a dignified manner, then offered a few words of blessing. Like Xie Bing, who simply didn't say a word, but stared at Li Qian from the moment she entered the door, her eyes clear and bright, staring, staring, staring...

  It was their agent, Wu Jie, who came over after Sima Doudou finished speaking on behalf of the girls, repeatedly trying to curry favor with them, leaving Wuyi standing awkwardly to one side, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

  Fortunately, there were still people coming on site, Li Qian had to be busy entertaining guests, they could finally get rid of them.

  A fat man came later, and when he arrived, although Li Qian and Qi Jie, Liao Liao and others did not know him, Xie Mingyuan took the initiative to hold him and brought him in front of Li Qian. The fat man was also unreserved, with a smile on his face, introducing himself as Zou Wenhui, claiming to be Zhou Niang's agent.

  Li Qian was very polite, calling himself a loyal fan of Zhou Pin, while seriously sizing up his counterpart, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries. He also accepted the other's invitation, extremely rare for him to agree in one breath, that if there is a suitable song in the future, he will show it to Zhou Pin first.

  Then, He Runqing suddenly arrived.

  Many people on the scene were shocked, and when He Runqing appeared, many people turned their eyes to Xie Mingyuan and Watanabe Kazuichi's faces. The strange thing was that these two men seemed to have guessed something beforehand, or their qigong skills were too good, and they still had a faint smile on their faces in the face of such an awkward scene, which made many people feel disappointed.

  He Runkui stepped out of the elevator and strode quickly towards Li Qian.

  It was her agent Liu Mei who seemed to be intentionally lagging behind by a few steps.

  "Qian Shao, hello! I'm He Runqing, nice to finally meet you!"

  …………

  Li's father and mother stood at the edge of the crowd, looking at everything in front of them in shock.

  Wang Jinglu hurriedly poured a circle of water and then walked over to their side, accompanying them with the same shocked expression.

  Even if Li Qian didn't say it, they all knew that possibly thirty minutes ago, so many people who came today were all unfamiliar to Li Qian. Because every time someone came in, it was almost always Qi Jie who took charge of receiving them first before introducing them to Li Qian.

  But without notice, without invitation, they all came to offer congratulations.

  Especially according to Liao Liao's little assistant Huang Wenjuan, there are several big names in the industry here who can shake three shocks with just a tap of their feet!

  As he watched, Li's father let out a sigh. Smiling, the wrinkles on his face gradually smoothed out.

  However, watching Li Qian and Liao Liao shuttle back and forth in the crowd, chatting and laughing with those middle-aged men in suits, Wang Jinglu's expression on her face had become serious without realizing it.

  …………

  "Run Qing sister, hello! I still remember that meal you owe me. I was just thinking of saving up my stomach, and one day when I'm starving, I'll go find you to collect the debt!"

  "You want to collect debts? I welcome you anytime! We don't need to go to a restaurant. How about I personally cook for you? My culinary skills are quite good, guaranteed authentic Hunan dishes with original flavor, is that sincere enough?"

  "Haha, don't be so polite! Don't scare me! I'm not worthy of you cooking for me! ... Ah. Hello Liu Mei sister, it's really great that you guys could come, originally we didn't plan on disturbing everyone, knowing that everyone is busy, but... Hey! Oh no. Don't, don't, don't, Liu Mei sister, please don't say that, hey, it was just a small misunderstanding, Old Cao has that kind of temper, you guys know, when Fire Star gets splashed with water, it explodes! So, Run Qing sister, Liu Mei sister, you guys shouldn't mind either, okay? Later I'll talk to Old Cao about it, what's the big deal? It was just a small misunderstanding, not some deep-seated hatred or anything, everyone can just talk it over and move on, okay? Me? I'm fine, hey, that was just a small thing, I already forgot about it, actually Old Cao regretted making that phone call after he cooled down..."

  …………

  The elevator door opened and Zheng Guochang walked out.

  As he saw He Rongqing and a young man talking face to face, he subconsciously picked up his camera and clicked away, taking several shots in quick succession. But just a moment later, he quickly came back to himself, and before Qijie even noticed anything was amiss and came over to ask him what was wrong, he had already caught sight of the sign at the door - Li Qian's studio?

  It looks like I haven't gone wrong, it's here, just like the sign in the lobby downstairs.

  But the question is... where is this place?

  Li Qian? Who is he?

  He Runqing? Li Qian's studio?

  Qijie walked over, looked at the camera in his hand, and politely said: "Sir, photography is prohibited here. May I ask who you are?"

  Zheng Guochang took a look at her and quickly put on a smile, saying: "Uh, I am... that is to say, today here we are... opening?"

  Qijie gave him a once-over, seeming to understand his profession, but still nodded, "Right, open for business!"

  Zheng Guochang's heart suddenly surged with a hint of disappointment.

  Damn it, open for business!

  Although I don't know what kind of business Li Qian's studio is doing, He Runkui will come to congratulate, and it's estimated that it's not far from the music circle. The problem is that a big shot like He Runkui can only come to congratulate at most, how could she possibly make trouble with Sony Records just for this small studio that has just opened?

  Not a job hop, just attending a small event, then there's no news explosion!

  Zheng Guochang hesitated for a moment, considering whether to quickly slip away to avoid being discovered following He Runqing, which would make it difficult to follow him later. But in the blink of an eye, when he clearly saw the people standing inside the workshop, his eyes suddenly widened.

  What's with Li Qian's workshop?

  Liao Liao, He Runqing, Wu Xing Wu Su...

  Hey, hey, isn't that Xie Mingyuan? The big shot in our industry!

  "Wait, isn't that Liu Minghui! Liu Mingliang's brother and agent!"

  And, oh my god, that should be Zhou Feng! Known as the new generation's Little King! Liao Liao's senior fellow apprentice!

  And there, that's Zhou Mei's agent Zou Wenhui! This fatty, who always claims to be below the bottom line of the upper lens, is simply too recognizable and too familiar!

  Hey, hey, this isn't right! How did He Runqing end up chatting with Xie Mingyuan? Hmm? Is that the CEO of Sony, Watanabe Kazuo? Eh, both sides are actually laughing and talking? Excuse me, didn't you two just have a falling out? You shouldn't be appearing in the same place together, even if it's unavoidable. Shouldn't you be giving each other the cold shoulder?

  Who's that guy? He looks pretty handsome, but judging from how close he is to Liao Liao, oh my god, could he be Liao Liao's boyfriend?

  This news is explosive, it's huge!

  With the dignity of a six-year entertainment journalist, Zheng Guochang swept his eyes over the scene, and in just three seconds, he had almost "plowed" through so many people on site!

  Then he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then picked up his camera.

  Crack!

  A hand covered the lens.

  Just then, a lift door next to them opened and two people wearing security uniforms walked out of the lift.

  The property management downstairs found that there were a lot of people coming to the 8th floor today, and they were afraid that something would happen, so they quickly sent two security guards up to ask if they needed help.

  It so happened that they were put to use as soon as they came up.

  "Security, come here!"
