In the public's perception, Shen Jingyuan is refined, handsome, gentle, and old-fashioned. But those who know him know that it's all an illusion. He anxiously scratched his messy hair and used the mouse to delete the demo he had just listened to.

A knock sounded on the door, and Xiao Meng's voice came from outside: "Brother Chen, Shi Shi is here."

"Take her to the recording studio, I'll be right there."

He still had two songs left to listen to, and he felt awkward and uncomfortable not having finished them.

Once a singer reaches Shen Jingyuan's level, they no longer have to chase after resources; instead, resources come to them. He renegotiated his contract with the company long before it expired. He established his own studio, affiliated with the company, which gave him a high degree of freedom.

Shi Shi suppressed her emotions and refrained from touching or looking around like a country bumpkin. But her bright eyes still revealed that she was in a good mood.

"So happy? Miss Shi, the best ex-wife," Shen Jingyuan teased.

"Please have mercy on me, Uncle! I've already been scolded once. This recording studio is fantastic!"

These words struck a chord with Shen Jingyuan. He wouldn't even blink when others praised his looks or singing. But this recording studio was different! Just like a car enthusiast treats his cars like his "wives," every "wife" here was his true love. He proudly raised his chin: "I may not be a top singer in the world, but my equipment is top-notch. You're lucky."

Recording engineer Lao Wang wasn't surprised to see Shi Shi recording; she looked beautiful on TV, but she was even more attractive in person. Although "Demian" was very popular these days, he had recorded far too many patriotic songs.

Are you ready?

Shi Shi: "Yes, that's fine."

Shen Jingyuan took the manuscript from Shi Shi and handed it to Lao Wang: "It's not too difficult, but it's quite interesting. Please put in some effort." Lao Wang took it and gestured for Shi Shi to go inside.

Before her transmigration, Shi Shi loved to sing, but unfortunately, she was tone-deaf, so she ended up working as a music critic. She excitedly touched the microphone standing there. So, this could be considered a dream come true for her.

With top-notch equipment, Shi Shi's captivating voice seemed to have wings, allowing her to perform even better.

After the song ended, Shen Jingyuan looked at Old Wang and asked, "How was it?"

Old Wang looked up and gave him a thumbs up: "Wow, Old Shen, if you're not interested in your daughter, you can raise your niece. She has the charm you had in your youth."

He meant it sincerely. Small successes rely on promotion, but true stardom depends on fate. Shi Shi is top-notch in both looks and voice, and she also has songwriting talent. She's practically God's favorite daughter. Old Wang and Shen Jingyuan have been working together for almost ten years. Old Shen is generous with his pay, and he rarely takes on freelance work. Are all the new generation of artists this good these days? Quite impressive.

Shen Jingyuan gave Shi Shi some pointers on how to sing, and they tried it twice more. The song was then recorded.

"Do you want to take a break or continue?" Three songs might be too much for Shi Shi.

She shook her head: "I feel it now, let's continue."

"Feeling" is a very mysterious thing; sometimes, you can do a great job just by relying on those two words. Shen Jingyuan nodded and continued recording.

He had already heard the song "Decent," but the other two were new to him. Holding the manuscript, he excitedly exchanged glances with Old Wang, his eyes filled with surprise. His expression was like that of a beggar who had won the lottery.

"You made the right decision to get divorced, otherwise your talent would have been stifled." Old Wang saw that Shen Jingyuan was so happy that he said whatever came to mind. He quickly added, "With such talent, why didn't you ever think about pursuing this career before?"

If he had written just two songs for Fu Zhixu, he wouldn't be in such an awkward position now.
