Chapter 119 is done!

"Me?" Liu Minghao stared wide-eyed at Shi Shi. He asked her again incredulously, "You mean I'm going to be the lead singer of the band?"

Fu Jizhou, who was standing to the side, also spoke up: "You're not thinking of not playing with us anymore, are you?"

It's no wonder they think that way; Shi Shi's record of 4 out of 11 items has already spread. She's currently in a period of rapid advancement. It's perfectly normal for her to want to leave their makeshift team behind and rise to the top.

"Instead of studying my thoughts, you should ask yourselves. Running an amateur band and playing purely for fun without ever becoming a professional can be considered doing it out of love, but after all the dedication you put into rehearsals and recording songs you're satisfied with, don't you want more people to hear them?"

Fu Jizhou scratched his head, looking somewhat anxious.

Shi Shi observed their expressions and naturally realized that they had doubts.

"If you have any concerns, you can speak up."

Xiao Tao told Shi Shi, "We're not choosing to debut because we don't want to be restricted, and we just want to play in a band as a hobby. We don't intend to turn it into a professional career."

Shi Shi understood immediately. These were three idealists who simply wanted to sing. If they signed with a company, they would inevitably have to cooperate with marketing, and their private lives would likely be scrutinized by the media and fans. Even if they came from prominent families, how many people, once they entered the industry, were swept away from their original intentions by the spotlight?

"So, as long as your daily lives aren't affected and you don't do anything other than singing, debuting isn't unacceptable, right?"

Just as Liu Minghao was about to be persuaded and nod, Xiao Tao quickly spoke up: "Stop making empty promises. We've seen the world. How could we possibly be allowed to be free after we debut?"

Especially for him, a doctor by profession. What if the patient calling his number is his fan? Someone who only had a limp might have to have their leg amputated just to follow him. How tragic! Orthopedic surgery is the career he wants to dedicate his life to.

What he enjoyed most was pushing patients into the operating room for surgery. The sounds of chainsaws, drills, and other instruments—"thump thump thump," "buzz buzz," "whoosh..."—made him feel like he had entered a cyberpunk world. So cool!

Except for the occasional time when the anesthesia wears off, and the patient asks him how he felt, vaguely hearing people doing renovations, a question that's a bit difficult to answer. Everything is perfect.

Shishi looked at Xiaotao with an expression that said, "Don't try to fool me," and she knew exactly what he was thinking.

She said meaningfully, "Brother Tao, you're overthinking it. Even if fans walk right past you, they might not recognize you."

I never realized Tao was such a narcissistic person. Of the four, Tao was definitely the least attractive. And musicians can't possibly be as popular as lead singers. Think of all those wildly popular bands before the time travel: The Flowers, Mayday, F.I.R., Sodagreen. Who even knows the names of those musicians?

"If you're really worried, you might as well write all of that into the contract. You should know that my company doesn't have any signed artists. So I guarantee there won't be a single one of those busy social engagements or social engagements unrelated to music."

Fu Jizhou was about to say, "Let's go back and discuss it."

Then I saw his second brother, looking every bit the married man, walk over carrying a fruit platter. The fruit had even been cut into the shapes of small animals.

Could it be that his brother cut this?

That's a little scary.

Fu Yingzhou looked up at his brother. He already knew about his girlfriend's plans. If all of this could be accomplished, it would be a good arrangement for the three of them, including Ji Zhou.

He then said, "If you have any doubts, I'll have Wei Ge come and help you."

The fruit was sprinkled with so much honey by Fu Yingzhou that it was excessively sweet. She was drinking water when she spat it out.

Viagra?!

Fu Yingzhou quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, gently patting her back: "Why are you still choking on water like a child?"

Shishi looked at him with a complicated expression: "You just mentioned Viagra?"

Fu Yingzhou nodded: "Yes, Attorney Zhang Wei. You know him too?"

He was a little confused, feeling that his girlfriend's gaze was strange.

Snake and Zhang Dapao are the most daring men. Could it be that she'll run into Zhang Wei in the restroom?

"No, I don't know him. I just suddenly thought of something funny."

The most decisive one was actually Liu Minghao. Although he really likes the drums, it doesn't stop him from singing. His second brother even lent them Lawyer Zhang. It seems he understands Shi Shi's plans.

"There's no need to trouble Attorney Zhang. Let me make this clear first: if things go astray, I'm withdrawing."

Fu Jizhou and Xiao Tao nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that they had relented, Shishi immediately had the legal department draft the contract. Just as Fu Jizhou was about to sign it, Shishi pressed it down on top of him.

"Take it back and ask that lawyer Zhang to take a look. Even if you're in a hurry, a day or two won't make a difference."

After saying that, she looked at Xiao Tao and Liu Minghao: "His parents are right here. Don't you two need to go back and discuss it with your families?"

Liu Minghao waved his hand dismissively and tossed his contract into Fu Jizhou's arms.

"Could you please take a look at this for me, Brother Wei?" He and Shishi hadn't spent much time together; they'd only recently grown closer. The contract wasn't really binding on him, but he didn't want to create trouble for himself. Better safe than sorry.

Xiao Tao did the same thing; they didn't trust Shi Shi enough, but they had no doubt about Fu Jizhou.

"Shall we begin now?" Ever since Shishi won the award, the media has been like mosquitoes that have been bitten by blood.

She then went with Fu Yingzhou to the horse farm in the suburbs. To her surprise, Fu Yingzhou had actually set up a practice room for her. He even prepared musical instruments. What a thoughtful baby!

She dragged a few people to the practice room. If the cooked duck dared to fly, she would chop off its feet!

Fu Yingzhou looked at the suddenly empty room, tasted a piece of apple, and quickly spat it out. Too much honey had been poured; it was cloyingly sweet! He'd have to be more careful next time!

Seeing that Shishi had already prepared the sheet music, the three of them knew that this was a premeditated plan to lure them into a trap!

Fu Jizhou twirled the music score folder with three fingers: "Aren't you afraid we won't agree?"

Shishi raised an eyebrow, took the sheet music folder from his hand, and shook it.

"Based on this alone, I don't believe you won't be tempted after seeing it!"

Their imaginations were limited by Shi Shi's talent, especially considering she had previously recorded "Love-ing" and "Don't Listen to Slow Songs When You're Sad." They simply couldn't imagine what kind of killer song Shi Shi would come up with.

Liu Minghao, as the handpicked lead singer, was the most excited. He was the first to open it, and to his surprise, the first page was the table of contents!

There were no numbers. He counted them—a total of 10 songs!

He stared at Shishi in shock and blurted out, "Sis, with your talent, why are you so obsessed with getting married and dating?"

As soon as he spoke, he looked warily towards the door, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fu Yingzhou was not there.

Let's look at the first song; its name is quite unique. It's called "Leave the Earth's Surface."
