Entertainment system: The sad queen sang and made the audience cry

Chapter 82 Why not go home and drink tap water

Gu Zhimiao was dressed in black, wearing a black hat and a black mask, and holding a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

The wrapping paper of this bouquet is also black, so the bright colors of the roses are particularly eye-catching.

The colors in this cemetery are even more striking.

Gu Zhimiao stood in front of Qiao Xingheng's grave, looking at the black and white photo on the tombstone, and couldn't help feeling sad.

This was the first time their mission failed and they had to restart the system.

All the mistakes are due to my own willfulness.

Gu Zhimiao placed the flowers in front of Qiao Xingheng's grave, reached out to touch his photo, and whispered, "Remember to wait for me over there."

Qiao Xueli, who was listening nearby, became upset and quickly said, "Don't be like this..."

"I am okay."

Shirley said, "I heard that Fu Yun confessed to you, and your bodyguard seems to be interested in you too. There are so many people who like you, so don't let it get to your head."

Gu Zhimiao looked up at the flocks of birds flying in the sky.

"There are so many people who like me, but I only like one person."

She and Qiao Xingheng formed a team as soon as they entered the system company. They have experienced missions in no less than ten worlds and developed a tacit understanding and friendship that transcended ordinary people.

Although the company does not explicitly prohibit dating, those who can enter this company are sinners, so how can they have the qualifications to date?

The full name of the Universe System Company is the Universe Destiny System Management Company. All the employees of the company are people who committed suicide from various small worlds.

The company's purpose is to prevent the destruction of the universe, to protect the peace of the small world, and to implement the truth of life and hope.

In Gu Zhimiao’s real previous life, he got cancer at the peak of his career and he couldn’t accept it, so he committed suicide.

In order to avoid the child in front of him, he drove his car and knocked over the railing, and the car fell into the river.

The boss said that although she was saving people, she was thinking of committing suicide in her heart, so she was guilty. She needed to complete a hundred mission worlds in the company before she could choose a small world to reincarnate again.

So every time she traveled through time at the beginning of a mission, it started with a car accident.

Gu Zhimiao and Qiao Xingheng were able to open their hearts and be together regardless of anything else, only because the system had been dormant for three years.

The two people forgot their past and depended on each other in this little world for three years.

In the previous mission world, the guardian system could not get too close to the main line system unless necessary.

This time, there really is no coincidence.

Shirley patted Gu Zhimiao on the shoulder: "The dead are gone, and you still have a better future!"

"Ah."

If I complete the task ahead of schedule, can I be exempted from Qiao Xingheng's punishment when I return?

After coming out of the cemetery, Gu Zhimiao said to Qiu Yu and Wang Xiaoya: "Let's go back to the company."

"Ah, sister, why don't you take a rest? There's nothing to do at the company."

Wang Xiaoya knew that Gu Zhimiao was now the big boss she loved, but she still cared more about her health.

"The weather is nice today, I'll go back to the company and write two songs."

Qiu Yu also said: "The doctor told you to rest more and not overuse your brain."

Gu Zhimiao also knew that the two of them were doing this for her own good, so she said, "Then I won't write songs. I heard that the company has moved to a new place, and I haven't been there yet, so I'll go take a look."

"it is good."

The three of them came to the new company, and Wang Xiaoya had been there several times.

It was Gu Zhimiao's first time here: "The whole building is our company?"

Wang Xiaoya nodded: "Yes!"

"What about my workstation?"

"Sister, you now have an independent office, right next to President Jiang's office."

As soon as Gu Zhimiao walked into the lobby downstairs, she saw a huge photo of her hanging on the wall. Next to it were photos of other singers, artists, and creators, but they were much smaller than hers.

A group of workers were hanging new photos on it. Gu Zhimiao stopped and looked for a while, and finally realized that they were of Luo Hui and Zhou Lisha.

Gu Zhimiao asked, "Has Sister Lisa's song been released?"

Wang Xiaoya said: "I have released three songs, and all of them have entered the charts. 'When I Wake Up' ranks first, 'Walking in the Rain' ranks second, and 'Ask' ranks third. However, the download numbers of these three songs are very close."

The company's front desk saw three people standing in the middle of the hall, staring at the paintings, and also saw Gu Zhimiao wearing a mask, looking at them with burning eyes.

Wang Xiaoya came over and she recognized her immediately.

"Sister Xiaoya, could that be Sister Miao behind you?" the lady at the front desk said excitedly.

"Ah, give me Sister Miao's work badge, and Qiuyu's, too."

"it is good!"

Gu Zhimiao and Qiuyu had never been to the company, so their ID cards were always placed at the front desk.

There is a chip in the work badge, and you need to swipe the card to enter the door, open the door, and use the elevator.

The creative department, recording studio, and artist office are all places that require security.

"Sister Miao needs to come here to record fingerprints and portraits..."

Gu Zhimiao looked at the photos for a while and found that there were many new people in the company. Seeing Wang Xiaoya working on something at the front desk, he walked over and just happened to hear these words.

She took off her mask and hat: "Record it!"

"Sister Miao... look... look here." The lady at the front desk was new and a fan of Gu Zhimiao. She was very excited.

After completing the formalities, the lady at the front desk asked, "Sister Miao, are you feeling better?"

"Much better, thank you for your concern."

Gu Zhimiao asked Xiaoya to take Qiuyu to her office to rest while she went to take a look at the creative department.

Unexpectedly, the creative department was in a meeting, and Gu Zhimiao entered the meeting room from the back door.

The current conference room is much larger than the previous ones, and there are many more people in the creative department. Gu Zhimiao sat in the last row wearing a mask.

The girl next to me, who had an intern tag on her body, asked quietly, "Why did you come just now? Supervisor Wu scolded me again today."

"What are you scolding?"

"The creative department hasn't come up with a single good song for next week's charts."

Gu Zhimiao looked up at the screen in the conference room, which displayed many song titles.

“So many capitals are dissatisfied?”

"The main reason is that Sister Lisa's songs 'Mental' and 'Ye Ye Ye Ye' are going to be on the charts next week, and our supervisor asked us to release a song for Luo Hui, but who can beat Sister Zhi Miao's songs? No one wants to embarrass themselves by going up there."

"That's it..."

Wu Meili said on stage: "We treat everyone very well at Qinglian. The songs of interns can be released directly through us, so we hope everyone can come up with better works."

Gu Zhimiao said in a low voice: "But the company can't always rely on Gu Zhimiao, right?"

"Who says it's not true? The tumor in Sister Zhimiao's brain is like a time bomb. She will be gone one day, and by then, our attachment to her will be over too."

Gu Zhimiao turned her head and looked at the girl, and the girl also looked at her strangely.

"Why haven't I seen you in the company? Why are you wearing a mask in a meeting?"

Only then did she notice the work badge hanging on Gu Zhimiao. It was the same color as the Creative Department’s, and only the back could be seen.

The girl thought that her ID photo didn't look good, so she hung it upside down.

"Did you just get here?"

Gu Zhimiao nodded. She had indeed just arrived at the company.

Wu Meili immediately saw two people whispering to each other in the last row.

Wu Meili has been under a lot of pressure as she hasn't been able to produce any good work these days.

So he got angry.

"Everyone who came to the meeting today is a member of the creative department. You should not take the resources of the entourage for nothing... Especially during the meeting, there are still people who gossip in the back. They don't speak when they should, and they keep gossiping in the back when they shouldn't."

Gu Zhimiao and the girl next to her fell silent.

"The two of you in the last row, what are your works this week? Come up and show them off."

Wu Meili also named names.

"The one wearing a hat and a mask, are you new here? I just saw you coming in from the back door. Not only were you late for the meeting, but you also spoke. Can you show us your work?"

Gu Zhimiao looked around and made sure that Wu Meili was calling him, then he stood up and walked to the front of the meeting room.

Under the gaze of more than a hundred people, everyone was observing a moment of silence for this brave warrior, who might be scolded by Wu Meili until blood was flying all over his body today.

Gu Zhimiao sat in the last row, with ten rows of people in front of him.

Wu Meili didn't recognize him, but when she walked up to him, she recognized him immediately.

Gu Zhimiao also knew that she recognized him, so he winked at her.

Wu Meili held back her laughter, with a cold face, and took a guitar from the side and handed it to her, saying, "Just sing the song you wrote that suits Luo Hui. Luo Hui happens to be here today."

Gu Zhimiao then noticed that the person sitting in the middle of the first row was Luo Hui, who was dressed normally today.

Long Shimin was there too, recognized her, and smiled at her.

Gu Zhimiao took the guitar and stood in front of the microphone: "Well, I wrote a song suitable for singer Luo. Everyone, please listen to it for me. What do you think of this song?"

As soon as Gu Zhimiao's voice came out, the whole place fell silent, and then burst into a chattering discussion.

"This sound..."

"Isn't it?"

"Definitely is."

"I go……"

"Gu Zhimiao is here!"

The girl in the last row who had just spoken to Gu Zhimiao's eyes widened in disbelief. She even pinched herself, wondering if she was dreaming!

Gu Zhimiao took off his hat and mask, and Wu Meili stepped forward to take them.

Gu Zhimiao smoothed his hair with his hands and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Gu Zhimiao."

There was loud applause from the audience. Luo Hui, who had been drowsy, now had eyes shining.

“The song is called ‘Why Not Go Home and Drink Tap Water’.”

Gu Zhimiao started playing the prelude without saying a word.

The whole feeling this song gives people is a sense of reckless freedom, and Gu Zhimiao feels that it is very suitable for Luo Hui's free-spirited personality.

[I walked through the depressed forest and the frozen stream]

……

[The sun is so bright, and I am in the mud, how is it possible that you will come back to find me]

[I think this love has long been broken into pieces, the surging tide made me retreat, and then washed me into the mud]

Luo Hui's hands started playing the guitar along with Gu Zhimiao, and he was frantically strumming the air to the rhythm in the audience.

The tempo of the song was getting faster and faster, and Luo Hui felt like grabbing the microphone immediately. He felt that this song was perfect for him and he really wanted to sing it!

Gu Zhimiao stopped and hooked his finger at him.

He went on stage immediately. He had just memorized the lyrics. Gu Zhimiao accompanied him and he began to sing at the top of his lungs.

The voice was stretched to a higher octave, expressing a soul-stirring sense of freedom, which was completely different from the decadent and sad feeling that Gu Zhimiao sang.

[It’s better to go home and drink tap water than to go through this alone]

The song ended with thunderous applause.

“This song is amazing!”

“I cried just listening to that!”

"It's a new song again, so nice!"

“The lyrics are so interesting.”

The conference room was already packed with people, and people from other departments were rushing over.

Someone passing by the conference room heard Gu Zhimiao's singing and immediately called his friends.

Gu Zhimiao said: "Now that everyone has heard Luo Hui's voice, you should know what kind of songs he is suitable for. If you have inspiration, just go for it!"

Luo Hui also said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Wu Meili concluded: "The meeting is adjourned."

After everyone dispersed.

Luo Hui immediately followed behind Gu Zhimiao. He knew that Gu Zhimiao was in the hospital, so he said, "Sister, you don't have to be so anxious. I can still wait."

"This song has been written a long time ago. I heard that you can compose music. Why don't you compose this song yourself? Is that okay?"

Luo Hui nodded: "No problem!"

He had just composed the music in his mind and was ready to go. This song was really suitable for him.

The lyrics are interesting too.

"Have you memorized the lyrics and tune?"

Luo Hui picked up his phone and said proudly, "I recorded it."

"Then go and get busy."

Luo Hui thanked Manager Wu and ran to the recording studio.

The soles of his feet were as smooth as grease, and even his assistant Xiaoxiao, who was flattering him from behind, couldn't catch up with him.

"Are you feeling better? The doctor told you to rest more, so why did you come to the company today?" Wu Meili walked up to Gu Zhimiao, took her arm and led her into the office.

"I've been out of the hospital for a few days. I've been eating and sleeping at home. I'm bored, so I came to see you."

Gu Zhimiao picked up the tea that Wu Meili poured for her and took a sip.

Wu Meili turned on the speakers: "Since you are here, come and help me listen to some songs and see if there are any good ones."

"it is good."

Wu Meili started playing songs, and the two of them listened to several songs together.

Gu Zhimiao marked a few people's names on the paper: "These works are pretty good."

"Yeah, I also think that the quality of this year's interns is very good." Wu Meili looked at the names of those people and said in agreement.

Gu Zhimiao pointed to one of the songs and asked, "Who sang this song?"

Wu Meili said, "A new graduate named Yan Mengying. How is she? Is her voice okay? She is still at the bronze level now."

"Well, the voice is very recognizable and clear. Can she sing high notes?"

"Yes, she is good at dolphin sound. I will tune the audio of her interview for you."

Manager Wu played the audio of Yan Mengying. It was just a simple chanting, but the voice gave Gu Zhimiao goosebumps.

Wonderful!

Gu Zhimiao said: "This seedling is good!"

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Have."

"Don't worry, take your time writing."

Gu Zhimiao felt that Yan Mengying was particularly suitable for her plan to become the queen of singing. Zhou Lisha had already won the title of queen of singing and could not be counted in the task.

A newcomer like Yan Mengying is the most suitable.
