Gong Ju Ren was the most popular singer in the Ting Yu Singer Group.
He was constantly busy with announcements and received invitations to sing every day.
Of course, Gong Ju Ren also worked very hard, with his schedule fully booked every day.
However, precisely because he was always busy with shows, Gong Ju Ren rarely met with Zhou Si Si.
Zhou Si Si had quite a few complaints about this. After they got together, their time spent together was very short. Gong Ju Ren traveled to different cities, spending most of his time on planes.
Gong Ju Ren could naturally sense Zhou Si Si's unusual behavior.
Recently, his messages to her went unanswered, and his phone calls were cut short after only a few words.
Although Gong Ju Ren had a relatively high emotional intelligence, he found it difficult to understand a girl's thoughts.
After asking Jiang Xiao E for advice, Jiang Xiao E suggested he cancel a few days of announcements and go on a trip with Zhou Si Si, as travel was the best way to heat up a relationship.
Gong Ju Ren thought this was a good idea, so he had his agent cancel a few days of work and asked Zhou Si Si to go on a trip with him for a few days to see the beautiful landscapes of China.
"I've almost finished packing," Zhou Si Si said happily about the suggestion. She happened to have nothing to do during this period, making it the perfect time for a trip.
"I'll be there to pick you up soon." Gong Ju Ren put his luggage in the trunk of his car and prepared to drive to pick up Zhou Si Si.
As soon as he hung up the phone.
His phone rang again.
It was his agent, Xiao Li, calling.
"Xiao Li, is there something else?" Gong Ju Ren frowned.
He had canceled his announcements for the next few days. Why was Xiao Li calling him? Did he have some work unfinished?
However, he had checked the announcements for these days. They were all minor shows that were insignificant to him now, which was why he had decided to take leave.
"The company has arranged a show for you, and you need to participate tonight. It's very urgent!" Xiao Li's tone was anxious.
"Don't you know I'm on leave? If I keep working, I'll lose my girlfriend!" Gong Ju Ren said irritably.
Was anything more urgent than his girlfriend?
Xiao Li was usually very capable at work, but why was he so clueless today?
He was practically the company's most hardworking employee, and now they were assigning him work even when he was taking leave.
"I know you're on leave, but this job cannot be postponed," Xiao Li said quickly.
"Why can't it be postponed? I'm taking this leave for sure, and even the Emperor of Heaven can't stop me!" Gong Ju Ren was furious.
Just as he was about to hang up and drive, he suddenly heard Xiao Li's somewhat awkward voice on the phone.
"Uh... Teacher Ting Yu requested you to sing his new song, so..."
Gong Ju Ren held the steering wheel and was stunned for a full ten seconds.
Then, he couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap, why didn't you say so earlier? I'm heading back to the company right now!!"
With that, he floored the accelerator, and the car, along with the luggage for their trip, sped towards Xing Hui.
...
Zhou Si Si hummed a tune as she packed her suitcase filled with travel essentials.
She had been with Gong Ju Ren for a long time, but they were always apart. Although they communicated through video calls, being together was the most important thing in a relationship. She was naturally very happy that Gong Ju Ren had finally decided to take leave and take her on a trip.
Just then, Zhou Si Si's phone rang.
She thought Gong Ju Ren had arrived, but she saw it was her editor-in-chief, Li Ming Hui.
Although Zhou Si Si had become Jiang Nan's exclusive editor at Qing Kong Literature, Li Ming Hui was still her direct superior, and she usually contacted him for any matters.
"Editor-in-chief, what is it?" Zhou Si Si answered the phone, her tone relaxed.
"Si Si, hurry back to the company. Jiang Nan's new drama is about to premiere, and the TV series will also be broadcast!" Li Ming Hui got straight to the point.
Zhou Si Si was stunned and then overjoyed.
She had been greatly troubled by Jiang Nan's book fans recently, with all their requests for updates. Now, Jiang Nan was finally releasing a new book!
However, looking at the luggage on the floor, she fell into a dilemma. After a brief struggle, she said, "Editor-in-chief, I'll be back right away!"
With that, she hung up the phone and walked out with her suitcase.
As she walked, she called Gong Ju Ren.
When the phone was connected, she was about to tell him that she had work and couldn't go on the trip, but she heard Gong Ju Ren's apologetic voice: "Si Si, Yu Ge has a new song that he wants me to sing. After this show, I'll definitely take you out for a good time!"
Zhou Si Si's lips twitched involuntarily. Just as she was about to get angry, she remembered that she also had work to do and said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, I, Zhou Si Si, am a sensible woman. Work is the most important thing. We can talk about the trip later."
Gong Ju Ren looked up at the sky in surprise.
Did the sun rise from the west today?
Zhou Si Si actually said she was a sensible woman. This was too surreal!
However, regardless of anything else, in Gong Ju Ren's heart, matters concerning Yu Ge were the most important.
After a few more words, they hung up the phone and went back to their respective tasks.
...
With Xing Hui's promotion, many viewers were already looking forward to the premiere of "The Return of the Condor Heroes."
Furthermore, this was again in collaboration with CCTV Channel 1. For the TV series, CCTV Channel 1 even specially planned the program "Spirit of Chivalry" to promote the spirit of martial arts.
Such treatment was only possible for Jiang Nan in China.
After all, no editor could have such deep connections with the authorities.
Not only that, but according to Xing Hui's promotion, the program would also feature a ancient-style song by Ting Yu.
With Ting Yu and Jiang Nan joining forces again, the buzz around "The Return of the Condor Heroes" soared. Due to Ting Yu's international fame, many foreigners were also paying attention to this TV series.
"Looking forward to Ting Yu's new song!"
"I'm really looking forward to Ting Yu's wuxia-style songs. I've been listening to 'Bright Moon Over the Horizon' on repeat!"
"I heard Gong Ju Ren will be singing this time. This guy is like the chosen one, the most popular singer around Ting Yu right now!"
"Lin Yan Yu declares her position as the main queen is seriously threatened!"
The importance Ting Yu placed on Gong Ju Ren was evident to everyone. This guy was practically the son of destiny, favored by Ting Yu among the Ting Yu Singer Group. He sang Ting Yu's songs even more than Lin Yan Yu.
Because of this relationship, Gong Ju Ren had become one of the hottest singers in the Chinese music scene, and based on his performance in the past one to two years, he had a high chance of being nominated for Singer of the Year at the Music Awards next year.
Of course, besides Gong Ju Ren, Jiang Xiao E and Zhang Wei also had the potential to be nominated for Singer of the Year. Zhang Wei's vocal skills were undeniable. His two representative works, "Exaggerated" and "The Lonely Warrior," had already proven his strength. Jiang Xiao E's performance in the Love Song Queen category was also astonishing. As for Lin Yan Yu, her vocal skills had even shone on the world stage. Her song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" was still topping charts in many countries.
Coupled with Ting Yu's various outstanding performances, the scene of Ting Yu and all the singers in the group receiving awards on stage would surely be spectacular!
