Chapter 68: I'm not worthy!

After exchanging a few more casual words with Fu Yingzhou, Shi Shi went to sleep.

Getting a beauty sleep is more important than chatting with a scammer!

As the humble second party, Song Ming and Shi Shi waited for the military officials to arrive at their office early in the morning.

Chen Bolin is the director of the Performing Arts Department at the PLA Cultural and Art Center, which is subordinate to the Central Military Commission. Although he is only a minor director, his authority is extensive. Initially, he was somewhat puzzled by Fu Yingzhou's recommendation of the small company, Tu Ming, but after hearing the two songs submitted by Shi Shi, he understood!

After all, Fu Yingzhou is a true talent scout. Perhaps he learned about the studio's songwriting and composition abilities through some channel and recommended them to him. These two works are genuinely good! Compared to the one-man rule of local authorities, they weren't so domineering. Especially for major events like the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army, they even adopted an anonymous voting system. Shi Shi's two songs entered the finals with a high number of votes.

Today's visit was actually just a normal conversation with the creators, after all, this year's Army Day is of great significance. If their thinking is wrong, no matter how good their work is, they will never use it! Sending a junior employee would have been enough, but he was too curious! Who is this capable person who could get the cold-hearted and aloof Fu Yingzhou to recommend?

Unlike the anxious Song Ming, Shi Shi was quite confident in her two songs. After all, her songs had been proven by the public. This time, she chose "We Are Soldiers" and "The People's Liberation Army Song".

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Chen Boli felt a little strange. How could such a fierce and heroic song come from the hands of such a delicate little girl?

"Hello Minister Chen, I am Shi Shi, the creator of those two songs, and this is Song Ming, the company's general manager."

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Chen Bolin took the initiative to ask Shishi, "Ms. Shi, these two songs are completely different from your usual style. Could you talk about your creative inspiration?"

When Shishi submitted these two songs, she knew this question would come sooner or later. After all, these two songs were for a different purpose than her previous songs; they had to ensure the songs were presented in a completely transparent and honest manner. Otherwise, it would be truly embarrassing for them to the whole world.

"Of course it's different! Compared to other songs, this song not only has to carry Chinese culture and emotions. It's not just a review of history, but also a positive declaration of life, struggle and the future. It needs to be able to convey positive energy and inspire people."

Seeing Chen Bolin nod in agreement, Shi Shi continued.

“When I was writing the song, I thought that since there were two songs, I would differentiate them in essence. One song is for leading the singing, while the other is for a large chorus.”

Chen Boli had heard it before, so he naturally knew that "We Soldiers" was a tenor solo, while "The People's Liberation Army Song" was a chorus.

"We live in a fast-paced modern life, but I hope to still bring warmth and strength to everyone and inspire the patriotism and fighting spirit of every Chinese citizen."

Judging from her appearance, Chen Bolin knew she must be a very young girl. He had originally thought she was just talented and beautiful, but he hadn't expected her to have such high awareness.

The 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has passed, signifying a century of peace and prosperity. However, the international situation remains far from optimistic. This grand military parade on Army Day is not only for other nations to see, but also for our own people.

As long as humanity exists, war will never disappear. Although the human world has been calling for peace, war will continue due to the existence of interests. With the continuous development of human science, various highly destructive weapons are emerging one after another, and the destructiveness of war is becoming greater and greater.

There is no such thing as a peaceful world; it's just that some people are bearing the burden.

Chen Bolin found the girl increasingly pleasing to the eye. He asked a few more routine questions. The girl spoke with remarkable clarity and organization. Compared to the others' rambling thoughts, she was sharp and calm, a paradoxical combination of reason and emotion.

After the conversation ended, Chen Bolin reassured them and then hurriedly left with his subordinates.

Chen Bolin felt that the other party was handling the situation with ease, but in reality, both of them were on high alert. He was in the army, surrounded by tough, unyielding men, so he naturally didn't feel intimidated by his own aura. But Shishi and Song Ming were constantly on edge.

Song Ming: "My back is all sweaty!"

Shi Shi didn't, perhaps because she's still young. Like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger!

"We've passed this hurdle! The rest is up to fate." From the moment she finished writing the song, her mission was complete. As for how far she would go, she had no say. The final decision on the song selection rested with the military leaders. Apart from her contact person, she didn't know anyone else, so what could she possibly decide?

Shi Shi glanced at her watch and prepared to leave.

Song Ming: "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay a little while? Where are you going?"

"I'm meeting up with my aunt to look at houses. Bye!"

Song Ming looked again, but Shi Shi had already disappeared. She really left in a hurry!

Shi Shi was restless all day. Although her original identity had broadened her horizons, she still felt a little intimidated when the topic of this villa district came up.

Zhonghe·Lanting

If your net worth is only a few billion, then congratulations, you're fit to be a lackey of the big shots in this neighborhood. The villas here are incredibly expensive, that's only one reason. Because these houses aren't something you can just buy whenever you want. Even Shishi was quite surprised that her aunt could manage to get such a property. Keep in mind, this neighborhood only has six households!

This isn't just a small residential area! It's almost as big as a European country!

Twenty-six billion! She doesn't even have a fraction of that. Are Mr. and Mrs. Shi some kind of hidden tycoon? Or is there some untapped plot element in the original owner's life?

"Auntie, how could you be so daring!"

Seeing Shishi's pathetic state, Kong Lai ignored her and said, "Let's look at houses first and see if you like them."

How could she not like it? Who could say no to a house like this?

No, the word "house" is an insult to it!

This is an estate surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers! Like a dazzling jewel, the estate is encircled by tulips like stars around the moon, blooming profusely all around like magnificent clouds on the horizon. The villa has six floors, spanning over a thousand square meters, and its facilities are astonishingly comprehensive. A swimming pool is a given, of course. There's a family gym, a medical room, a billiards room, a game room, and a home theater—everything is there. Even the wine cellar has its own independent temperature control system, ensuring that every bottle of wine maintains its full flavor. What makes Shi Shi most happy is that there's even a reading room here, the kind every writer dreams of!
