House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 346: Calm Jin Yingming

Having three songs top the charts was a small record in the music industry. After Mo Fei returned to the company, Tianmei held a small celebration banquet for her. At the celebration banquet, Niu Meiling was full of laughter, and even raised her glass to promise Mo Fei and all employees that after Mo Fei’s platinum record was achieved, there would be another big celebration banquet!

She behaved as if nothing had happened, as if she wasn’t the one who had asked Mo Fei and Ju Jie to create a rumor in the office before. Not to mention, she was so affectionate with Mo Fei as if it were like six years ago.

Mo Fei felt uncomfortable in her heart. She wasn’t the kind of person who was good at hiding her true feelings and didn’t like this kind of hypocritical flattery at all, so she forced a smile and kept a cold face afterward, using the armor of indifference to protect herself.

Fortunately, Mo Fei usually looked like this, so everyone was used to it and didn’t think much about it.

Mo Fei returned to her office, and the uncomfortable feeling dissipated a bit.

She personally poured a glass of water for Jin Yingming and sincerely thanked him, “Thank you, Teacher Jin. Without the effort you put into the production, I wouldn’t have achieved such results today.”

Jin Yingming had a bit of a drink at the celebration banquet, but his spirit was not blurred. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, it’s all because you sang well and Mr. Mu Li’ang’s song was well written. I just added the icing on the cake.”

“No matter what, we must thank Teacher Jin for his dedication. This achievement is a result of your efforts too!” Mo Xiaojuan’s mouth was much sweeter.

“If we’re talking about being thankful, I should be the one thanking you. This album has also brought me a lot of fame.” Jin Yingming said with a smile, “Moreover, in my cooperation with Mo Fei and Mr. Mu Li’ang, I also learned a lot.”

“Then Teacher Jin, have you already received many invitations? What are your plans for the future?” Mo Xiaojuan asked, her eyes darting around.

“Indeed, I’ve received quite a few invitations.” Jin Yingming said with a smile, “However, I haven’t considered it yet because I am still serving Miss Mo Fei. I want to finish what I started and complete the contract for this album before considering what to do next.”

Not only were there many invitations, but Jin Yingming’s worth also rose steadily, but Jin Yingming didn’t say it.

“On my side, the arrangement is basically done and there is nothing else to do. Teacher Jin, if you want to arrange other things, it’s okay.” Mo Fei said.

That was indeed the case. There wasn’t much need for a producer in the later stages. When Mo Fei cooperated with Duan Shurong before, Duan Shurong would only be responsible until the completion of the album production. Afterward, she would start participating in the music production of other artists. Although according to the agreement, she should be responsible until the end of the new song protection month, everyone was well aware of this unspoken rule and wouldn’t deliberately obstruct it, choosing to turn a blind eye.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Jin Yingming quickly waved his hand. “I think I still need to settle down and reflect, reflect.”

Jin Yingming was well aware of his own situation. Although he was highly praised outside now, Jin Yingming understood that it was just because he has benefited from this album. He has not become a gold medal producer as evaluated by the outside world.

If he really let all the praise go to his head and eagerly took on new projects, Jin Yingming feared he might end up like his former self from a few years ago: from a praised genius to a series of failures, ultimately falling into obscurity with no one seeking his services.

“By the way, since Teacher Jin hasn’t arranged anything yet, how about I introduce you a project!” Mo Fei suddenly changed the subject and said, “You’ve been mentioning that you want to meet Mu Li’ang, right? This project involves another new song by Mu Li’ang, but I won’t be the one singing it; it’s someone else. But…Teacher Jin, this time, you can communicate face-to-face with Mu Li’ang, and you can cooperate together. What do you think?”

Before, Mo Fei would respectfully call him “Teacher Mu Li’ang”, but ever since she knew Yang Yi’s identity, she couldn’t utter the words “Teacher Mu Li’ang” anymore.

“Mr. Mu Li’ang? Cooperate with him?” Jin Yingming looked pleasantly surprised, asking somewhat unbelievably.

In Jin Yingming’s heart, Mu Li’ang is a “god”. He admires him and hopes to meet Mu Li’ang, but Jin Yingming never thought he could really meet his “god”, let alone have the opportunity to cooperate with him.

……

“Mu Li’ang” didn’t know that someone was fervently admiring him. He was just like an ordinary person, no, he was an ordinary person, currently helping his younger sister move.

“I’m telling you, you’re just going to live and study over there. You still have to come home for meals. Don’t buy some junk food outside.” Yang Yi, carrying a large suitcase in each hand, said as he went downstairs.

The two suitcases looked big, but they weren’t too heavy. They were all stuffed with Yang Huan’s clothes, most of which were bought by Mo Fei for her.

“I know, big brother. Don’t worry, I will take care of myself.” Yang Huan wasn’t idle either. She was carrying a backpack, a laptop bag, and a large woven bag with winter blankets and mattresses. She said with a grin, “But speaking of which, big brother, why are you getting more and more verbose? You weren’t so talkative before. You’re starting to sound like our mother!”

Walking ahead, Yang Yi’s face became somewhat embarrassed. He straightened his face and turned his head, saying, “Isn’t this because I care about you?”

“Really? I’ve only been here for a month, and when I arrived, you talked quite a bit too! I think it’s because of sister-in-law and Xixi that you changed.” Yang Huan said with a grin.

Yang Yi fell silent at this moment. Yang Huan was right, but he wasn’t very willing to admit it. Yang Yi tossed the two suitcases into the trunk of the car and then took the woven bag from Yang Huan’s hand and put it in as well.

“Wait here for me. I’ll get your book box and pillow.” Yang Yi gestured to Yang Huan.

When he came down, there was a little tail behind him.

Today, it was the weekend, and Xixi, who didn’t have to go to kindergarten, followed her father down with her little backpack on her back. Her little backpack contained some cosmetics that Mo Fei bought for Yang Huan. The little girl also had a task.

“Little aunt, will you…will you not be able to play with me anymore?” Xixi pouted and asked unhappily in the car.

Xixi just found out today that Yang Huan was moving out, and she was a little unhappy.

“How could it be? Little aunt is just living nearby and living with your Big Sister Ding Xiang. Most of the time, I’ll be at the coffee shop or at home, playing with Xixi! Moreover, Xixi can also go to little aunt’s apartment to play. It’s not far anyway.” Yang Huan said with a smile, pinching Xixi’s chubby little face.

It was indeed close. Before Yang Huan could finish speaking, Yang Yi had already parked the car on the side of the road.

Ding Xiang who had already been cleaning upstairs quickly came down to help move things upstairs. Guo Ziyi also happened to come over. He volunteered to carry the heaviest book box. However, after climbing two flights of stairs, the little chubby man couldn’t hold on anymore. Fortunately, the kind-hearted Ding Xiang swapped places with him.

“Don’t show off if you can’t do it!” Ding Xiang couldn’t help but complain.

“Wow, it looks so pretty here! Can I come to play at little aunt’s apartment in the future?” Xixi was already bouncing around, looking at the rooms that had been redecorated, as if she were patrolling her own territory.

“Xixi can come because you are a girl.” Yang Yi put down the suitcase and patted his daughter’s little head. But his gaze drifted over Guo Ziyi, “After today, only girls can come to this apartment to play. Boys are not allowed.”

“So, Papa can’t come in too? Papa is a boy!” Xixi blinked her big eyes and pointed out the loophole in her father’s words.

“That’s right. Papa can’t either. Papa needs to lead by example.” Yang Yi smiled and said to his daughter.

“Cough, cough, Sister Ding Xiang, Sister Huan, these two sets of keys plus the set in Sister Ding Xiang’s hand are all the keys to this apartment. They are all here, I guarantee there are no other keys! So, you can rest assured, no one else can get in.” After being swept by Yang Yi’s gaze, Guo Ziyi, who felt like there was a thorn in his back, quickly took the initiative to hand over the keys he had brought this time.

“No need!” But Yang Yi just smiled faintly as he took out two boxes and some tools from the bag he had brought with him.

“It’s necessary to change the lock when moving to a new place. The locks I prepared for you have special keys. It’s hard to find places that can match them. So, I’ll leave two for Huanhuan and Ding Xiang, and the last spare one will be left at my place. If you forget your key, you can come to me.”

Few paid much attention to what Yang Yi said. He used simple tools to remove and install the lock. His efficient and proficient movements were probably not inferior to those of real locksmiths. This scene stunned everyone.
