Chapter 98 Fu Yingzhou's Ex-Wife

"Whether I have time or not depends on Mr. Liu." Seeing Shi Shi's blank expression.

Fu Jizhou explained, "The hospital where Xiao Tao works is owned by Ming Hao's family."

"Then you're free to take leave?"

Xiao Tao scratched his head awkwardly: "As long as it's not too excessive."

"Shall we practice a little longer?" Everyone was happy to hear that they could have a private session. They all nodded. By the time it ended, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Fu Jizhou packed up his bass and slung it over his shoulder. He turned to Shishi and said, "Let's go, I'll take you."

"No need, I'll just drive home."

Fu Jizhou ignored him and directly grabbed Shishi's bag: "Don't! If my brother finds out you're going home alone at night, he'll tear me apart when he gets back."

"Shut up, Yingzhou has such a good temper, don't exaggerate."

Although she refuted Fu Jizhou's words, it was indeed getting late, so she didn't refuse him.

Shishi walked ahead. Fu Jizhou watched her retreating figure, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

In my lifetime, I've actually heard someone say that his second brother has a good temper.

He still harbors some resentment towards Fu Yingzhou. When they were children, he and his older brother fought so fiercely that even their grandfather couldn't stop them. His older brother's leg was crippled by his second brother. Now he's hiding in the United States, too afraid to come back.

Everyone says he's wild, and compared to his second brother, he's really just a "younger brother".

Fortunately, my second brother toned it down after entering politics. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened!

Fu Jizhou admired two people most: Shi Shi and his former second sister-in-law. Sometimes he even thought his second brother had unusual taste. Otherwise, how could he find such distinctive women?

His ex-sister-in-law was from the same compound as them; their grandfathers were old comrades-in-arms, though the relationship was somewhat distant. After all, they had countless old comrades-in-arms. Like his second brother, his ex-sister-in-law, Ling Xiaoyue, was also quite a character. Don't let her wild childhood fool you; she was a prodigy in the compound, the kind of "other people's child" that the elders always talked about.

While other children were still basking in the glory of being ranked first in the entire school, Ling Xiaoyue won the gold medal, the highest mathematics award in China, thanks to her keen sense of numbers.

However, this is just an appetizer.

In junior high school, without affecting her studies, she was able to invent a smart home energy-saving system based on Internet of Things technology and obtain a national patent.

Before graduating from high school, she published her research findings in the field of quantum physics in an internationally renowned academic journal, attracting widespread attention from the academic community.

It could be said that Ling Xiaoyue was born to crush others. She was good-looking and came from a good family. Logically speaking, if she wanted to get married, she could choose any boy in the compound. Who would have thought that she would agree to a blind date and marry her second brother?

Looking back now, he finds it all surreal. Wouldn't two people suffocate if they were together?

He remembers it clearly. He was a child then, and his parents were often not at home. In the cold old house, the three of them stared at each other.

What couple doesn't exchange a single word all day?

Later, when his second sister-in-law abandoned his second brother for academic pursuits, he was not surprised at all.

In front of that woman, nothing, no one, no matter, no matter how important is anyone or anything except for research topics.

Shi Shi was driving, and Fu Jizhou was in the passenger seat. He was unsure whether Shi Shi knew that his brother had also been divorced.

For someone in politics at his brother's level, one divorce is acceptable, but consecutive divorces are unacceptable. Therefore, his family places particular importance on his second marriage. If it doesn't last, it would likely be very damaging to Shi Shi.

In Fu Jizhou's mind, Shi Shi was the weaker party in their relationship. In fact, in a relationship, the one who loves more is often the one in a weaker position.

The two remained silent the entire way. Until Shishi drove the car into the garage.

"You can pick a car and drive it back. Just park it downstairs at the company building for the next rehearsal."

Fu Jizhou nodded: "This one will do. You should get some rest. I'm leaving."

The next day, MooMoo Cow responded, and "Sour and Sweet Is Me" was confirmed. The rest—choosing a spokesperson to sing the song—is up to the dairy company.

Of the six jobs Shi Shi took on, besides composing theme songs for TV dramas and commercials, she also wrote songs for singers.

Today, an old acquaintance came to the studio.

Pop diva Pang Ying.

Pang Ying arrived at Shi Shi's office and was deeply moved to see Shi Shi sitting in the boss's seat.

"I never thought you'd be in this situation today."

After she said that, the agent's face turned green. Although Pang Ying's current status meant she wasn't someone who couldn't afford to offend Shi Shi, you're here today to discuss a collaboration!

He quickly explained, "Sister Ying means, we didn't expect you to be doing so well in your career. We thought you would debut as an artist."

Shi Shi was quite aware of Pang Ying's reputation. Seeing her manager scrambling to fix things up, she felt a pang of sympathy. Tsk tsk tsk. Look at his Xie Guangkun-esque hairstyle—it's all medals earned from cleaning up Pang Ying's messes.

"I've heard a lot about Ying's personality. It's always good to deal with straightforward people, so I'm sure we'll have a pleasant collaboration this time."

Pang Ying nodded repeatedly: "You see, Shishi and I get along very well. It's your personality that makes you overthink things."

The agent was already used to her behavior. Afraid that she might say something she shouldn't, she skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"As you know, Sister Ying only recently made her comeback. For her, it's like setting sail again. We need a song that lets go of the past, and it would be even better if it could be combined with Pang Ying's life experiences."

Shishi nodded in understanding. She pondered to herself, "Isn't Pang Ying's life all about being blinded by love? She married into a wealthy family at the peak of her career, but the family brought her nothing but harm. Now it's ended in divorce. To put it bluntly, she's lost in both her career and love life."

While her collaboration with Yi Cheng on "As Long As I'm With You" was very popular a while ago, that only made the song popular! At most, it boosted the popularity of the TV series. Audiences wouldn't focus their attention on Pang Ying herself.

She thought for a moment and said to Pang Ying, "I actually have a song here that would suit Sister Ying. Would you like to try singing it?"

Pang Ying was greatly surprised: "You didn't just write it down after we sent out the invitation, did you?"

Shishi quickly waved her hand: "How could I know what your requirements were before we met today? This song is one of my old favorites. I hadn't found a suitable singer to bring out its depth until you mentioned it. I thought it was perfect."

Her words piqued Pang Ying's interest. "Take a look. What song is it that only I can sing?"

Shi Shi took out her loose-leaf notebook, tore off a page, and handed it to Pang Ying.

The manager, also curious, came over to take a look. There, written the song title—"A Smile and It's Over."
