Nepotism

Qi Lan just walked to the door.

"Go early and come back early, remember to check the phone." Ning Xuan's voice came from inside.

"Cha." Qi Lan responded.

As soon as Qi Lan left, Ning Xuan opened her little notebook.

"To be with friends again, and to be alone again."

Ever since, the autumn wind was howling, and Song Lanjun was alone in the bleak pear garden, sweeping the fallen leaves and the not-so-beautiful glass heart of a certain girl because of envy.

Shen Shiwei's assistant was waiting for Qi Lan downstairs as promised.

Qi Lan got into the car but did not see Shen Shiwei.

"Where's Awei?"

"I, I have already sent Mr. Shen over there first."

It's really weird, didn't it mean that you are too busy today, but now you can pick up and drop off people all over the world?

However, Qi Lan finally put the questioning in her stomach. The assistants are all paid to do things, so she can't make things difficult for the little girl in front of her.

When the destination was reached, the assistant's head was buried in the soil.

"Mr. Qi, we are here, and Mr. Shen is waiting for you inside."

Qi Lan looked at the land in front of her with a half-smile, "Is she going to have a prenatal check-up in a western restaurant?"

Before the assistant could reply, Qi Lan had already opened the door and got out of the car.

Although Shen Shiwei looked a lot fatter than before, she was still rosy and chatting happily. A man sat opposite her, well dressed, and the two chatted casually.

Qi Lan also knew this person. Xiao Shicheng, who came from a big company like himself, turned into a producer and came out to work alone. It was also a matter of one or two years.

When Qi Lan saw these two people getting together, he knew what Shen Shiwei wanted to do. She probably wanted to give Qi Lan a boost.

Shen Shiwei was the best at doing these things since she was a child. She thought that Qi Lan would take the initiative to stand in front of her when she was in trouble. She was a little reckless, a little impulsive, and a little self-righteous. Shen Shiwei was overwhelmed and skipped over.

It was a dinner for both guests and hosts.

Qi Lan thought that it would be great to cooperate with Xiao Shicheng if he had the opportunity in the future, but the plan Shen Shiwei euphemistically mentioned to become a member of Xiao Shicheng's studio was not within Qi Lan's consideration for the time being.

Xiao Shicheng is a smart person, and he is also the same kind of person as Qi Lan, so he understands Qi Lan's thoughts.

If they are all people who follow the trend, it is impossible for the big companies to reject them and come out to work hard on their own.

Therefore, he didn't force it, he clicked on it, and said goodbye first.

When Xiao Shicheng left, Shen Shiwei's face collapsed.

"What on earth are you thinking? It doesn't matter if you come from Tianyi. You don't like Xiao Shicheng's new talented musician. Could it be that you want to choose Huo Xin? Huo Xin is good, but she can't wash away her stains. It's never a good choice, you are a singer-songwriter yourself, don't you know how much the reputation of plagiarism will affect?" Shen Shiwei was eloquent without taking a breath.

After she finally finished speaking, Qi Lan had a chance to speak, "Ah Wei, thank you, but I will think about the future."

"What else do you have to think about!" Shen Shiwei said anxiously, in her opinion, now is the best time for Qi Lan, even if there are mixed opinions on the Internet, in the final analysis, whether it is a topic or a hot topic, it is still on her , When all these attentions are gone, even the options that are available now may be difficult to touch, so Shen Shiwei is worried for her.

Qi Lan knows all this, she smiled and said, "Don't trick me out in this way next time, I won't be fooled again."

Falling down, maternity checkup, feeling uncomfortable, Qi Lan really never imagined that one day Shen Shiwei would make up such bad excuses to ask her out.

"Stop making such jokes in the future. It's not good for the baby. If something happens to her, you will regret it." Qi Lan took the clothes and got up and warned.

Shen Shiwei was a little frustrated, Qi Lan refused to listen to her, which made her somewhat frustrated.

"Would you listen if someone else told you these words?" Shen Shiwei asked.

Qi Lan was taken aback for a moment, she knew that the person Shen Shiwei was talking about was most likely Ning Xuan.

Qi Lan pondered for a long time, "I won't even mention her words."

Shen Shiwei revealed a wry smile.

It's not anyone's fault, it's just that they have grown up. When she met Qi Lan, Qi Lan was small, and she was sitting alone in the courtyard with a small stool watching the stars, so she got used to the relationship between the two of them. As for Ning Xuan, when she met Qi Lan, she was already an independent woman.

This is where she differs from Ning Xuan.

Whether it's friendship or love, she and Qi Lan have come a long way after all.

They all need a new identity and perspective on their friendship.

Shen Shiwei looked at Qi Lan's leaving figure, and gently stroked her stomach.

She hopes that her baby can be as autonomous, independent and tenacious as Qi Lan, but she doesn't want her to work so hard.

Those who would rather bend than bend will suffer more.

When Qi Lan returned home, Ning Xuan had already gone out.

Recently, she has had frequent exchanges with the historical drama director surnamed Cui, and the two collided a lot around the script of Datang.

This is a happy cooperation, Qi Lan just looked at Ning Xuan's eyes and knew that there was a dazzling brilliance in them, and she couldn't move her eyes away.

On the other hand, although she may not be able to be a singer without the support of the economic company, she can still continue to sing. She and music are always closely related and can never be separated.

Qi Lan has a lot of original songs on hand, and she may not have the extra cash to release self-made records in a short period of time, so she might as well post the recorded demos online, at least not because of her downfall, which is not bad The music is dusted in the corner.

"Looks like I'm going to have a soft meal for a while." Qi Lan stretched and said with emotion after posting the demo recording on Weibo.

She has no income now, and almost all of her funds have been overdrawn because of liquidated damages. Ning Xuan is just the opposite of her. It is the rising period of her career. She has millions of dollars in income from a few scripts, and most of them are billions of dollars. Of course, it is impossible for Ou Hong to be stingy with his sister in terms of supporting projects.

After finishing what she wanted to do, Qi Lan went back and forth between the living room and the kitchen to check that it was almost time, so she put on her apron and started to make dinner.

In the past, it was Ning Xuan who waited for her to come back after cooking a meal, but now her identity was reversed, and it was Qi Lan herself who was looking forward to seeing through the autumn water at home.

I haven't felt so lonely in a long time, more than when I was alone.

Qi Lan was cooking soup on the stove, while she rested her chin and watched the delicate alarm clock on the dining table turn the hands bit by bit.

During the ticking, Qi Lan was a little curious, whether Ning Xuan was looking forward to her return so eagerly, whether it was like three autumns since she hadn't seen each other for a day.

Qi Lan didn't go online, so she didn't know that the song she just shared for free had already caused quite a stir.

Some people said before that Qi Lan was a lack of human heart, and that Tianyi couldn't satisfy her ambitions, but now she looks sober and ascetic. Such high-quality self-composed songs are released for free. This is not mercenary. I love generating electricity!

At first, there were not many voices of public opinion to crusade against Qi Lan, and the momentum was not small, but Qi Lan's move won praise all the time. This is simply a spring silkworm, a candle, a guiding light, burning itself to illuminate others.

It is a fool not to take advantage of the benefits, which is the philosophy pursued by the public.

*************

"This fool."

Of course, there are some people who really think Qi Lan is ridiculously stupid, and Ning Xuan bears the brunt of it.

After she met Director Cui, she took public transportation to go home, leaning against the window of the bus on the way, clicked on Weibo and saw this content on the homepage of Luman.

She has listened to every song by Qi Lan, and she has never missed any of them, whether they are publicly released or kept privately.

These are all Qi Lan's treasures, they are existences that can shine in the future, and now that Qi Lan handed them over to them, it can only show one thing, she really let go.

The obsession from childhood to adulthood, the obsession that has never turned back even if it hit a wall many times, was finally let go by her.

Ning Xuan listened to Qi Lan's singing from the earphones, she felt guilty, she felt that she was not worth it, tears gradually blurred Ning Xuan's vision.

As the setting sun poured down, Ning Xuan slowly closed her eyes.

The sound of the key opening the door came, and Qi Lan stood up from the chair in a clever way.

Before Ning Xuan could change her shoes, Qi Lan embraced her and buried her head in Qi Lan's chest. Ning Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine, otherwise her eyes were reddish and she didn't know how to explain it.

"Did you miss me before?" Qi Lan rubbed Ning Xuan's hair with her chin, and the soft touch felt like she belonged to her.

"Of course, I want you to come back sooner all the time." Ning Xuan hugged Qi Lan back forcefully.

The word "home" is too precious for two people who have been missing, and the person in front of him just filled this gap and made his life complete.

After the entanglement, Qi Lan showed her skills, but Ning Xuan didn't move her chopsticks, she just took out her phone and pressed the play button.

The melody of the new song Qi Lan posted online echoed in the room.

Qi Lan was a little surprised, "You saw it."

It stands to reason that Ning Xuan is so busy, she should not have time to pay attention to these things.

"It's hard not to see it." Ning Xuan showed her Weibo homepage.

Qi Lan was delighted when she saw it, "It seems that everyone likes it quite a bit."

More than just liking it, Qi Lan's new song received rave reviews, and the number of retweets even approached the amount of retweets of the official announcement of her unfinished mv.

Most of them applauded, and Qi Lan herself was quite happy.

Ning Xuan couldn't help but laugh, applauding and saving money are all simple things, no matter how loud these keyboard warriors on the Internet are, they can't bring even a dime to Qi Lan.

"Do you have any plans? If you want to post a video, I can..." Ning Xuan stopped talking halfway, but was stopped by Qi Lan.

"I, I've already made up my mind, I'm going to go behind the scenes." Qi Lan smiled.

As soon as these words came out, Ning Xuan's tears rolled in her eyes again, and one of them couldn't hold back, and burst out of her eyes.
