Chapter 34: Just talk about work, no feelings.

"No problem, the song is on my computer. I'll go get it now," Su Yu said with a smile, his grin as warm as the spring sun, making people feel incredibly close to him. He also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he carefully retrieved "flammable and explosive" from his system backpack and transferred it to his computer.

Nowadays, he always brought his laptop to work, as he still harbored plans to write during the day.

Anyway, the Composition Department didn't strictly require him to complete tasks daily; his contract stipulated that he only needed to submit six songs of a certain standard to the Lyrics and Composition Department each year. This contract was extremely lenient for him.

Meanwhile, in the recording studio, Liu Ruyan was filled with confusion.

She first saw Han Jiangxue enter, then saw Su Yu and Han Jiangxue seemingly exchange some words, and then Su Yu actually got up and left directly.

What exactly was going on? Did Han Jiangxue disagree with Su Yu writing a song for self? If that were truly the case, then she would truly have no other option.

After all, she was only a contracted artist with Tianxing, while Han Jiangxue was not only the chairman's daughter but also one of the company's shareholders!

Even if she were to be promoted to a first-tier artist and start her own business in the future, she would not dare to easily offend a behemoth like Tianxing Entertainment.

Just as Liu Ruyan was fully convinced that her request for a song from Su Yu had fallen through, Su Yu returned with his laptop.

"After hearing Teacher Liu's voice, I found that I indeed have a song here that is quite suitable for Teacher Liu. Everyone, let's listen to it."

Su Yu's voice was like a bright dawn, instantly lifting Liu Ruyan's mood, which had been falling into the abyss.

And Li Dayue's eyes lit up at this moment, like brilliant stars in the night sky.

Good heavens, he never expected that Su Yu had produced another "stockpile" in such a short amount of time!

Now, Li Dayue even had an urge to steal Su Yu's computer; he really wanted to see how much "stockpile" Su Yu still had!

This was simply like a bottomless pit!

However, when Su Yu printed out the lyrics for "flammable and explosive" and distributed a copy to everyone, the moment Liu Ruyan and the others saw the lyrics, everyone's expressions became extremely interesting.

These lyrics were a bit... well, they couldn't quite describe what kind of feeling it was at the moment.

However, when they connected the lyrics to Liu Ruyan, they felt that the lyrics were indeed a bit harsh.

If Liu Ruyan were to perform it, the sheer topic popularity of the lyrics alone would probably make it explode!

At this moment, Liu Ruyan's face was a little red, and she even uncharacteristically lowered her head, unsure of what to say.

It was at this moment that Su Yu slowly sat down in front of the keyboard in the recording studio.

He didn't play the demo because he felt that the demo couldn't capture Chen Li's unique feeling, so Su Yu decided to sing it himself.

And Su Yu's action directly stunned everyone present.

Good heavens, Su Yu was actually going to demonstrate it himself? And it was a song belonging to a woman?

Well, they were really looking forward to seeing what kind of "eye-blinding" performance Su Yu would bring them.

However, as Su Yu's long fingers danced lightly and quickly across the keyboard, the faint prelude melody of the song gently began to play.

And Su Yu's slightly low and magnetic singing slowly emerged: "【You hope I'm crazy, yet you hope I don't live alone; you want me to be cold and beautiful, yet you want me to be frivolous and cheap...】"

Well, Su Yu's performance did not make any of the people present feel any incongruity; instead, they were deeply captivated by the song.

And at this moment, Liu Ruyan listened particularly intently, as if she wanted to clearly engrave every note Su Yu sang into her memory.

On the other hand, Han Jiangxue felt it was no wonder her junior had a new song but didn't give it to her; she really couldn't handle the style of this song.

However, looking at Su Yu, who was playing and singing for self and thoroughly enjoying it, Han Jiangxue's thoughts unknowingly drifted, and she actually became a little engrossed in watching and listening.

It wasn't until Su Yu finished singing the song that everyone present had yet to fully recover.

Instead, Sister Ling, as an outsider, suddenly blurted out a sentence: "This song shouldn't be called 'flammable and explosive'; I think it should be called '《怎样》' instead!"

Sister Ling's words made everyone in the recording studio burst into laughter.

Because they felt that Sister Ling's words were too incisive.

"If this song is used as the lead single for your album, there's absolutely no problem. What do you think, Ruyan?" Li Dayue looked at Liu Ruyan.

He was the producer for Liu Ruyan's new album this time.

The company had also prepared quite a few songs for Liu Ruyan, but a lead single-level song had not yet been chosen.

Now that they had encountered Su Yu's "flammable and explosive," Li Dayue felt that Liu Ruyan's album was now secure.

"I am extremely satisfied! Teacher Su Yu, thank you so much! I don't even know how to thank you! I love this song so much!" Liu Ruyan looked at Su Yu with an excited expression.

If there were no other people present at this moment, she probably would have impatiently pounced on Su Yu.

After all, how could she not love such a young, handsome, and musically talented man?

Unfortunately, Su Yu seemed to have some special relationship with Han Jiangxue. No matter how much she wanted to get closer to Su Yu in her heart, she had to try her best to restrain self.

"The performing rights are 1.5 million. Since Teacher Liu is an artist of the company, I'll give you a discount, so it's 1 million! As for the other revenue sharing, it's still a 50-50 split between me and the company. As for how Teacher Liu splits with the company, I don't care."

Su Yu, completely oblivious to romance, directly brought up the price of the song and the sharing of profits.

And Su Yu's bluntness made everyone present freeze.

You're too direct, aren't you? Don't you know how to be a bit more subtle?

However, 1 million for the performing rights was indeed a discount; even Liu Ruyan was perfectly clear about this.

After all, with Xie Jie's big mouth, Su Yu's song prices were now somewhat transparent.

Of course, Su Yu's songs were the kind that had a price but no market.

"Hehehe, I have no problem with this! As long as it's Teacher Su's work, I don't even need a share!"

Liu Ruyan smiled radiantly, looking like a blooming, delicate flower, and naturally, she didn't miss this opportunity to further connect with Su Yu.

What she wanted was an increase in fame and a truly representative work.

As long as she was promoted to a first-tier star this time, her commercial value would undoubtedly be incomparable.

Although the song's share should be considerable, compared to other revenues, Liu Ruyan simply didn't care.

If this matter could earn her goodwill with Su Yu, and there were more suitable songs for her in the future, then she would only earn more!

"There's no need for that. I only take what I'm supposed to take! Director Li, I won't be participating in Teacher Liu's song practice and recording. I'm off to work." Su Yu waved his hand, then picked up his computer and resolutely left the recording studio.

He didn't want to get involved with Liu Ruyan, especially not in front of Han Jiangxue!

At this moment, what he needed to do was conduct business in a professional manner, only discussing work, with no room for emotions.
