Gu Zhimiao didn't expect that the first person he met after getting off the plane was Nana Ayamiko.

She bowed her head to a beautiful short-haired woman, saying, "I'm sorry."

Long Shimin and Qiuyu went to get the luggage, so she sat on the side. Since she couldn't use her legs too much, Long Shimin lent her a wheelchair for her to sit on.

Gu Zhimiao saw Nana Ayamiko at a glance. After all, they had competed together so many times, so she was very familiar with her.

Gu Zhimiao couldn’t hear what the short-haired woman was saying, but Nana Ayamiko kept bowing, and it was obvious that she was apologizing.

The short-haired woman waved her hand, motioning Nana Ayamiko to go away, and then she left with her luggage.

Nana Ayamiko stood there for a while before walking towards the luggage carousel.

After walking a few steps, I saw Gu Zhimiao sitting in a wheelchair.

Gu Zhimiao tilted his head and called out to her, "Hey, Xiaomei!"

The sudden enthusiasm made Nana Ayamiko a little confused. When did Gu Zhimiao become so enthusiastic?

Nana Ayamiko greeted Gu Zhimiao: "You're here too?"

"Well, where's your assistant?"

"Oh, I was fired..." Nana Ayamiko said this lightly.

"No new recruits?"

"How can I, who can't even make it into the top three, be qualified to hire an assistant?" Nana Ayamiko said self-deprecatingly.

Gu Zhimiao put away the smile on his face and asked, "What's going on? Even if you didn't get into the top three in the international competition, you are still the well-deserved champion of your country, right?!"

In China, no matter whether those who fight for the country are athletes, painters, singers, dancers or creators, no matter what the final results are, the country and the people will not be too demanding. As long as they do their best, the final success will be left to fate.

Nana Ayamiko's face was full of sarcasm: "Useless people have no need to exist."

Gu Zhimiao saw despair on Nana Ayamiko's face.

Qiuyu came over pushing the luggage, and Long Shimin walked in front.

Seeing Nana Ayamiko standing in front of Gu Zhimiao, she hurried over.

Gu Zhimiao waved to Qiuyu, who came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Aqiu, help Xiaomei get her luggage."

Qiu Yu glanced at Nana Ayameko and asked, "Ms. Nana, which number is your luggage?"

Nana Ayamiko finally came to her senses: "Oh, I'll go with you."

Gu Zhimiao shouted, “Wait a moment.”

Nana Ayamiko turned around: "..."

"Have you booked a hotel yet?"

Nana Ayamiko bit her lip and shook her head.

"Then go get your luggage first! Is it okay for you to live with me?"

There was mist in Nana Ayamiko's eyes: "Can I...?"

Gu Zhimiao ignored her and turned to Long Shimin and said, "Book a suite for her as well."

Long Shimin nodded and said, "Okay."

Gu Zhimiao watched Qiuyu and Nana Ayameko pick up their luggage: "Shimin, what do you think of Nana Ayameko?"

After booking the room, Long Shimin also took a look and said, "Apart from her nationality, she is a rare singer, but her creative ability is still far inferior to yours."

Long Shimin has not forgotten that Nana Ayameko plagiarized in the competition.

"I have an immature idea..."

"Since it's immature, then don't say anything." Long Shimin interrupted Gu Zhimiao without any politeness.

She felt that she should not listen to Gu Zhimiao, otherwise she would definitely not be able to help but agree with her ideas.

Because facing Gu Zhimiao, she really couldn't refuse.

In the end, I had no choice but to agree willingly.

People are so contradictory.

Gu Zhimiao pursed her lips and thought to herself that if she signed Nana Ayameko into the company, she could write many Sakura language songs for her to sing, which would count as her effort to complete the task of singing 300 songs.

On the other hand, she really felt a little sympathy for Nana Ayamiko.

What kind of company doesn’t even provide an assistant?

After all, Nana Ayamiko is not a newcomer. She has been famous for a long time. Although she did not get good rankings in international competitions, she has also gained many international fans.

Especially her last game, Rap Girl, it really surprised many people.

Nana Ayamiko's luggage was actually more than the luggage that Gu Zhimiao brought. Qiuyu directly piled it into two carts, and with Gu Zhimiao's luggage, there were three carts in total.

Fortunately, Zhou Ting arranged someone to pick us up in Haicheng, otherwise it would have been difficult.

Everyone takes one car and the luggage takes another.

Nana Ayameko said a little embarrassedly: "My assistant is coming on another flight..."

Gu Zhimiao asked: "Didn't you just tell me that your assistant was fired?"

"Well, I'm hiring myself. After this concert, the company will terminate my contract when I return."

"why?"

This time, before Gu Zhimiao opened her mouth, Long Shimin couldn't help but ask.

Nana Ayamiko looked out the window, trying not to let anyone see the tears in her eyes.

"The company signed a gambling agreement behind my back, requiring me to get a top three position. I didn't reach the goal, and now not only do I have to terminate the contract, but I also have to pay a 100 million yuan termination fee."

Long Shimin said: "That shouldn't be the case. If you are required to earn money to pay back the money in the gambling agreement, you shouldn't terminate the contract. Wouldn't it be even more uneconomical to terminate the contract?"

Nana Ayameko said, "Well, I'm the one who wants to terminate the contract. The company got me a lot of commercial performances, asked me to attend social events and drink with the boss, and even auctioned off my... virginity..."

Hearing this, Gu Zhimiao and Long Shimin were stunned.

Qiu Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but look back at Nana Ayamiko.

"If it weren't for this charity concert, I wouldn't even be able to leave the country. They said they would not force me as long as I paid 100 million."

Gu Zhimiao asked Long Shimin in a low voice: "How much is one hundred million Sakura Coins in Chinese currency?"

"Probably more than 70 million."

Gu Zhimiao thought about it and decided that this money was not a big deal for her.

The copyright fees for the songs moved out of the system and the share of the downloads made her savings far exceed this amount.

In addition, Qiao Xingheng left her a large inheritance, and the company under his name had a monthly income of more than that.

She also has her own investment projects, so money is not a problem for Gu Zhimiao.

The question is, will Nana Ayamiko end up stabbing her in the back like Yan Mengying did?

This is a question worth thinking about.

Nana Ayamiko suddenly laughed and murmured to herself, "It's okay. It's a big deal. It's all over now."

Nana Ayamiko's words had just fallen.

【beep】

The familiar system voice appeared.

[Entertainment system version 2.1, at your service]

[Application scenario detected, the song "I once thought about ending it all" is playing]

Now that the system has appeared, we have no choice but to help.

There are several versions of this song, and the system will loop all of them in the playlist.

Gu Zhimiao rolled his eyes, rubbed his temples, and shouted "pause".

This song is actually quite suitable for Nana Ayamiko's current situation, but now is not a good time to move the song.

The person just said that he wanted to end it all, and you wrote a song to end it all. That's a bit unfriendly.

Gu Zhimiao did not give in and made it clear that she was willing to help. The lesson she learned from Yan Mengying's incident was still fresh in her mind.

Even if it was to complete the system task, she didn't like the feeling of being used.

There was no conversation along the way until everyone arrived at the hotel.

Gu Zhimiao asked Qiuyu to move Nana Ayamiko's luggage to the room reserved by Long Shimin.

The rooms were actually booked long ago by the concert organizers, but they needed to be notified in advance to prepare because the arrival time of the contestants was not certain.

Afterwards, Gu Zhimiao came to Nana Ayamiko's room alone, and they sat opposite each other.

Gu Zhimiao said softly: "Xiaomei, regarding your problem and your predicament, I can help you solve it."

"Really?" Nana Ayamiko looked incredulous.

"You can sign a contract with my company, but the content will be very extensive and the requirements will be more stringent than in your own country. But you will not be asked to take on commercial performances and social events that you don't like."

Nana Ayamiko nodded gratefully, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I can lend you some money to pay off your debts first, and Juanlian will also send a legal team to help you terminate your contract. However, before you pay back the 100 million, you can only move around in China. I will arrange for someone to discuss the specific matters with you after the concert."

Gu Zhimiao still felt that the conditions should be made clear first.

"Thank you, Zhimiao."

Gu Zhimiao smiled and patted her shoulder. "You're welcome. We are friends now, aren't we?"

Nana Ayamiko raised her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"We are friends? I thought..."

She actually found it a little hard to believe that Gu Zhimiao was willing to be friends with her. After all, she had provoked her in the competition and plagiarized her work.

Can we still be friends like this?

She was very envious of the friendship between Gu Zhimiao and Katyusha. Even though they were rivals during the competition, their feelings for each other did not fade away.

"As long as we treat each other sincerely, we are friends!"

Nana Ayamiko nodded seriously. She agreed with this statement.

Gu Zhimiao continued, "The audience at the charity concert voted for the two of us to sing a song together. You knew that, right?"

“Yes, I know, and what the fans are asking for is for you to create a chorus track.”

Gu Zhimiao said: "Song, I already have some ideas, but since it is a collaboration, you can't just do nothing, so the task of arranging the music is left to you."

Nana Ayamiko stepped forward and held Gu Zhimiao's hand: "Okay, leave it to me, I have no problem."

Long Shimin came over and knocked on the door: "The recording studio is ready, you can go anytime."

Gu Zhimiao stood up and stretched out his hand to Nana Ayamiko: "Let's go, Xiaomei."

Nana Ayamiko reached out, held Gu Zhimiao's hand, and stood up with the help of her.

Gu Zhimiao’s hands were so soft and felt hot when he held them, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

She stared at Gu Zhimiao's hand in a trance, but what she was thinking in her heart was: I really want to hold her hand forever!

The charity concert of the "Almighty Creator" international competition is held in the country where the first place winner is from. Since Gu Zhimiao is the first place, it is held in China.

The organizers rented several high-end recording studios for them to create and practice.

Time is running out, there are only three days left before the performance.

As soon as Gu Zhimiao entered the recording studio, she took out the tablet she had moved out a long time ago, "I Once Thought About Ending It All".

Two more versions of the lyrics were printed out, a Sakura version and a Chinese version.

Nana Ayamiko stared at the lyrics in a daze, her hands holding the lyrics trembling slightly.

【servant's death and thought ったのは】

【ウミネコが桟桟 bridge で声いたから】

[The waves are free to float and disappear]

【The past is a flying one】

……

When Long Shimin got the lyrics, she glanced at them and then looked at Gu Zhimiao.

In the end, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

How much insight does it take to write a song like this!

This is definitely not a song that could be written just because of what Nana Ayamiko said.

Gu Zhimiao must have been planning this in his mind for a long time!

[I once thought that it would be over once and for all]

[Just because I saw the seagulls crying on the pier]

[Seabirds that drift with the current]

[Peck at my past and fly away]

……

Long Shimin has been with Gu Zhimiao for a long time. In her eyes, she is even older than Qiao Xingheng.

However, Gu Zhimiao's pain also came from Qiao Xingheng.

But unexpectedly, even after so much time, the pain that Qiao Xingheng brought to her has not dissipated.

Seeing that they were silent, Gu Zhimiao introduced the song directly, "This song should make the audience feel the love for life and hope for the future through the song, and get rid of the sadness, no matter what caused it. So we must work hard on the arrangement and singing."

Nana Ayamiko nodded unconsciously.

Gu Zhimiao continued, "For this concert, I still have two collaborative songs and two solo songs to write. I'll leave the arrangement of this song to you, Xiaomei!"

"it is good!"

Yes, Gu Zhimiao has three collaborative songs, which were requested by audience voting.

Each contestant in the charity concert will have a solo song. Gu Zhimiao will sing his own song and also help Katyusha sing one.

So she has five new songs to write, plus next week's "Masked Singer" which she will write for Xie Aoshun, Zhou Feng, [Not Sweet], and for herself.

Gu Zhimiao counted on his fingers and found that there were nine songs.

One step closer to mission completion!

I feel so happy!

Fortunately, Long Shimin came along this time and could help with the composing.

The rest of the songs of "Masked Singer" can be sent back to Zhou Feng for arrangement.

Nana Ayameko said hesitantly, "What if I can't write it well?"

Gu Zhimiao patted Xiaomei on the shoulder and encouraged her: "How could that be? You have to have confidence. You can be said to be one of the best songwriters in the world. How can you not compose well? This song is a collaboration between the two of us. You can compose it according to your ideas. After I finish the other songs, we will start rehearsing."

Long Shimin also said: "Time is running out, let's start now!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the studio door.

Long Shimin went to open the door, and the Korean contestant Rong Enxuan walked in and gave Gu Zhimiao a warm hug as soon as she came in.

"Gu Zhimiao! Have you finished writing the song? When do we start rehearsing?"

Gu Zhimiao quickly pushed him away. She really couldn't stand Rong Enxuan who was so passionate and flirtatious.

"You're just in time, let's go to the recording studio next door!"

"it is good!"
