rebirth against the times

The proposal of Past and Present Plaza immediately won the approval of Bai Shuo, Li Fei and others. Bai Shuo said that he would discuss changes to the plan with investors and believed that such a unique proposal would also receive support from investors.

In order to express his gratitude, Chen Bing immediately decided to start the filming of his new music video here, and when the Past and Present Plaza is completed, he will come to cut the ribbon in person. On the same day, Chen Bing called his team over

We started shooting and did not return to Muguang Group until it got dark.

"Okay, after a tiring day, go back and rest." Bai Shuo said to Chen Bing.

Chen Bing smiled slightly and looked at Bai Shuo motionless.

"Um...is there anything else?"

Chen Bing pouted and said, "It's already this time, aren't you going to invite me to have a cup of coffee? I haven't had a private chat with my brother since we met today."

"Um... Well, originally I was worried that you were very tired today, so I was going to go back to the office to deal with some things. If you are not tired yet... Haha, of course it is a great honor."

There is a nice cafe on the second floor of Muguang Group, which is also a place where everyone often goes to kill time.

"Does the word "ice" in your name mean something? Was it very cold when you were born?" Bai Shuo and Chen Bing, who couldn't find the topic, started talking about their family.

Chen Bing smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Bai Shuo would be such a gossip?"

"Haha..." Bai Shuo smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it that getting to know each other better will enhance our relationship?"

"Oh... Brother Bai Shuo wants me to take our relationship to a new level?"

Bai Shuo swallowed a sip of coffee with difficulty and explained: "I'm talking about emotions, emotions are not feelings..."

Chen Bing showed a bright smile and said: "I don't think there is any difference. Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. My name has no special meaning, but it was chosen by my great-grandfather a long time ago."

"Your great-grandfather?"

"Well, that's right."

Bai Shuo: "I remember you said that your great-grandfather was a famous historian and master of Chinese studies in our country, his name was... Chen..."

"Chen Zhengyang." Chen Bing said.

"Hmm, did your great-grandfather see you when you were born?" Bai Shuo felt a little curious.

Chen Bing shook his head: "My grandfather died young, don't talk about me, even my father has never seen him."

Bai Shuo said doubtfully: "Then..."

Chen Bing: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that my great-grandfather also studied the Yijing Bagua and other things. He said that if you are a girl in my generation, you must be named 'Bing', so as to protect your life."

Peace and success.”

Bai Shuo suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out to be feudal superstition, haha, so your great-grandfather also chose your father's name? Did your great-grandfather help you choose a name for your son or daughter?"

Chen Bing's face turned red and he shook his head slightly: "Except for my grandfather, my great-grandfather only gave me a name. My father's name was given by my grandfather."

"Haha, this master of traditional Chinese culture is really particular about things, and he doesn't do things according to common sense."

Chen Bing curled his lips and said, "Okay, brother, why do you like to inquire about other people's family affairs so much? Let's talk about something else."

Bai Shuo: "Well... OK, what should we talk about?"

Chen Bing slowly stirred the coffee cup for a while, and then said slowly: "Speaking of which, my brother hasn't written a song for me for a long time."

Bai Shuo was stunned for a moment, feeling bitter in his heart. He would not do plagiarism like that often again.

"Um, um... I've been too busy recently and haven't had much time to write songs."

Chen Bing: "Yes, my brother's career is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are paying attention to him. Even if he occasionally writes songs, he won't just write them for me, right?"

"Huh?!" Bai Shuo wondered: "How could you say that? You know all the songs I wrote."

"Really?" Chen Bing said, taking out a video and playing it, put it in front of Bai Shuo and smiled: "This song is your new song, brother. I don't know anything about it."

Bai Shuo looked at the content in the video, and it turned out to be the song "That Girl" that he sang on the spur of the moment on that farm in California a year ago.

Chen Bing: "I discovered this accidentally when I went to Europe. This song is now very popular in Europe and the United States."

"Um...really?" Bai Shuo scratched his head in embarrassment: "It was just something I felt at the time."

Chen Bing: "Brother is so amazing. He wrote such a good song out of a sudden feeling, and it's also an English song. Didn't brother say that I should develop internationally? Can you help me write a few songs?"

Bai Shuo said: "Well... but... now I don't have the energy to write good songs."

"Oh..." Chen Bing said with emotion: "It must be that there is a lack of someone who can make my brother feel touched again, right?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Chen Bing chuckled and said: "That woman in the video is Anna, right? It seems that my brother's feelings should come from this."

"Um...that...isn't..."

Chen Bing continued: "I heard that this song was composed by a Chinese couple while traveling in California."

"Ah?! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding... Haha." Bai Shuo explained hurriedly.

Chen Bing: "Of course I believe there is nothing between my brother and Anna, but I do envy Anna for being able to witness her brother write such a song..."

"Write...write! I'll write a few songs for you when I'm free..." Bai Shuo compromised helplessly.

…

Early the next morning, Bai Shuo handed Chen Bing three English songs he had written overnight.

"Wow, I didn't expect my brother to be so efficient. He wrote three songs in one night."

"Um..." Bai Shuo paused and said, "I didn't write it all in one night. It's just that I didn't finish it before, so I took it out together this time."

Chen Bing nodded: "As expected, brother still has some stocks."

"Actually, these are not completely finished yet. There are still many areas that need to be polished and perfected. I really don't have much time, so the rest is up to you."

The scores that Bai Shuo handed over to Chen Bing can only be regarded as drafts. On the one hand, it is really difficult for Bai Shuo to write the scores. On the other hand, Bai Shuo also hopes that Chen Bing can create again on these incomplete scores.

Maybe even create a work that surpasses the original work.

"Well..." Chen Bing nodded while looking at the music score: "Brother, these songs are basically ready, I will do the rest."

Then, Chen Bing started humming one by one according to the beat of the music score. When he reached the emotional point, he couldn't help but said in surprise:

"This section is particularly good, I like it so much..."

"Wow, the melody of these lines is so beautiful, brother, how did you write it..."

"The melody and lyrics match perfectly. Brother, your English lyrics are not bad!"

In the end, Chen Bing became more and more excited. He even didn't even bother to finish his breakfast. He grabbed the music score and went back to his room to compose, hoping to present these completed songs earlier.

Bai Shuo did not try to persuade Chen Bing to stay, because if she kept asking questions like this, Bai Shuo would only feel more and more embarrassed.

A person continued to finish breakfast and came to the office, only to find that the office was a little deserted. In the past, Xiao Lin always made his favorite tea before coming to the office and adjusted the temperature of the office to the most suitable setting.

"Isn't this girl Xiao Lin back yet?" Bai Shuo asked the others.

After getting the answer that no one had seen Xiao Lin, Bai Shuo immediately dialed Xiao Lin's number.

Only then did we learn that when Xiao Lin went to deal with the riot caused by residents yesterday, he discovered that Zhou Qiang and others were secretly instigating the incident.

Taking advantage of Zhou Qiang's absence yesterday, Xiao Lin went door to door overnight to do work for everyone, and finally stabilized everyone. Since the matter had not been settled yet, Xiao Lin did not return last night and stayed in a local hotel.

Bai Shuo scolded: "You are too bold. You dare to go and compete with others alone. If..."

Xiao Lin: "It's okay. I'm familiar with all these residents, and people like Zhou Qiang obviously don't dare to do anything to me. You know, the current strength of our Muguang Group cannot be underestimated."

Bai Shuo didn't agree with it and said: "I think you have forgotten that they even dared to burn down the government office building. You said they didn't dare to do anything to you?"

Xiao Lin smiled and said: "That's different. Now I'm very familiar with them before, and even Zhou Qiang's father Zhou Huairen has many interests involved with our Muguang Group. If they want to do something extraordinary, they themselves

You also have to weigh it up."

Bai Shuo felt that this girl Xiao Lin was becoming more and more mature in thinking about things, and knew how to judge and use the interests of each party to achieve a mutual check and balance effect, which surprised Bai Shuo. However, he was afraid of anything unexpected.

Bai Shuo still told Xiao Lin not to be too arrogant and to act with caution.

Bai Shuo himself decided to go to Nanshui Town immediately to see Xue Yanming and Xue Manlin, so that the villagers would take care of their own internal affairs and not let Zhou Huairen and his gang act like this.

Bai Shuo brought Zhao Yong to Nanshui Town. Xue Yanming was very enthusiastic about Bai Shuo's arrival. He called his eldest son Xue Wenkai and Man Lin and treated Bai Shuo to a sumptuous lunch.

However, judging from the subsequent talks, although Xue Yanming promised to do his best to appease Zhou Huairen and Zhou Qiang's party and prevent them from continuing to mess around, Bai Shuo had a vague feeling that Zhou Qiang's rampage was inseparable from Xue Yanming's laissez-faire. Bai Shuo

There is even some suspicion that Xue Yanming deliberately caused Zhou Qiang and others to make such a fuss. In order to compete with the Muguang Group, he himself was willing to pretend to be red-faced and raise the price, benefiting both sides.

Thinking of this, Bai Shuo smiled slightly. Xue Yanming still couldn't get rid of these little tricks, but as long as he didn't go too far, it didn't matter if he gave them more sweetness.
