Chapter 67

However, Su Yan was very measured in her actions. Despite the fact that the music studio was mainly maintained by her and her daughter, and Song Haowen repeatedly expressed his non-intervention in the affairs of the music studio, since they were in business together, he still deserved the rights and respect that came with it.

Otherwise, it would be better not to establish the music studio at all. Therefore, she insisted on discussing the work of the music studio in advance, seeking his opinion and finalizing things in his presence.

Originally, according to the intentions of Su Yan and Tian Nana, Song Haowen didn’t need to contribute a single penny to the establishment of the music studio. However, Song Haowen firmly disagreed.

He stated that since he was to hold fifty percent of the shares and contribute a minimum of one hundred thousand yuan in registered capital, he must at least contribute half of that amount.

After multiple negotiations, Su Yan and her daughter finally made a concession, agreeing that both Song Haowen and Tian Nana would contribute fifty thousand yuan each to the account of the music studio.

Once the matters regarding the music studio were settled, Su Yan also joined in the conversation with her daughter. When she learned that the school where Song Haomin and Song Huifang were currently attending had not been confirmed, she offered to help.

Her sister, who was also Tian Nana’s aunt, happened to be the principal of the elementary school near where Song Huihua and the others lived. Furthermore, her brother-in-law held a position as the chief of the personnel department at the district education bureau, granting him some influence.

Upon hearing about this connection, Song Huihua was overjoyed and quickly shared the news with Song Haowen. Upon learning this, Song Haowen was also very happy and expressed his gratitude to Su Yan and her daughter.

Su Yan dismissed it, saying, “Little Song, considering that you and Nana are now part of the same music studio, and given your substantial help to her, our contribution is just a small gesture. It’s just that time is tight, and school is about to start. At the moment, we can only find a way to let these two kids attend school temporarily. After some time, we can arrange for your family’s household registration to be transferred to the suburbs of Beijing and then into the city. With a Beijing household registration, schooling won’t be a problem.”

“Nowadays, urban household registrations are highly sought after, especially in Beijing. It might not be easy to accomplish,” Song Haowen felt that this matter was quite challenging.

“While the process may be a bit troublesome, it’s not impossible,” Su Yan confidently remarked.

“If that’s the case, it would be great,” Song Haowen and Song Huihua were excited to hear Su Yan’s words.

At noon, Su Yan and her daughter had lunch with Song Haowen and his sister. After they left, Su Yan went directly to her sister’s house to ask for help with the matter of Song Haowen’s younger siblings attending school.

They immediately agreed, stating that this was not a big issue. They assured Su Yan that after reporting to the school leadership team and the district education bureau the next day, the matter would be settled.

Indeed, the next afternoon, good news came from Tian Nana’s aunt. The district education bureau and the school agreed that Song Haowen’s younger siblings could attend the school where she worked.

They needed to bring their transfer certificates to the school on the day before the start of the semester, August 31st, to complete the temporary enrollment procedures.

Upon hearing this good news from Tian Nana, Song Haowen sincerely thanked her. Tian Nana was also happy for him, stating that it was just a small favor and not something to worry about.

During their casual conversation, they talked about Tian Yuxi. It had been a while since they last saw her, and they weren’t sure if she had completed the procedures for going abroad. If she were to go, it would likely happen in these next few days. They decided that, since they all had some free time, they should visit her home together.

Song Haowen and Tian Nana took a taxi and arrived to Tian Yuxi’s home. Coincidentally, Tian Yuxi was at home, organizing books by herself. When she saw the two of them coming, she was very surprised.

She quickly put down what she was holding, invited them to the living room, and offered tea. She apologized, saying that she had been quite busy lately. The process of handling the procedures for going abroad took more than ten days.

Finally, her passport and other documents were obtained. The school also organized pre-departure training and various farewell events with classmates, making her a bit tired. When she returned home, she didn’t feel like going out or doing anything.

Song Haowen asked Tian Yuxi when she was leaving, as he wanted to see her off in advance. Tian Yuxi politely declined, saying that there was no need to trouble everyone. She had booked a flight for the 29th of this month, still three days away.

She thought about inviting them to her house for lunch on the 27th, the day after tomorrow, as a last gathering before going abroad. She asked if they were available.

Song Haowen naturally had time and agreed to come over. Tian Nana had a performance at the City Cultural Palace that evening, with a rehearsal scheduled after 3 p.m. Before that, she had free time and assured them that she would come over for lunch.

As the three of them were chatting happily, Tian Yuxi’s mother, Lin Min, returned home. Seeing who it was, she couldn’t help but complain, “You two, it’s really something. If Xixi doesn’t have the time to find you, can’t you, as her younger brother and sister, take the initiative to visit her?”

“Auntie, others might not know, but don’t you know how tight your niece’s performance schedule is?” Tian Nana grabbed Lin Min and started acting spoiled, leaving Lin Min amused and helpless.

“I know, you are a big star now, naturally a busy person…”

“Auntie, hello.” Song Haowen also greeted Lin Min.

Lin Min smiled at Song Haowen and took out apples she had just bought, placing them on the table. “Xixi, bring the fruit knife and help everyone peel them.”

Song Haowen politely declined, but when he found that no one paid him any attention, he had to take the fruit knife from Tian Yuxi and started peeling the apples.

Before long, Tian Pengfei also came home. Seeing Song Haowen, he asked, “You suddenly bought so many houses. How are you going to deal with them? It’s not good to keep them closed for a long time.”

Song Haowen explained how he brought his parents and sisters to live in Beijing, the plans for the decoration, and the intention to rent out some rooms. Tian Pengfei nodded and expressed approval.

“You’re good, young man. You have a good business sense, and you have a promising future in this field. It’s just a pity about your major,” Lin Min said regretfully.

“Whether the major is important or not depends on the situation. Look at the staff in government offices; they have all sorts of majors. Nearly half of them in politics have a background in science and engineering. Does that mean their majors are not important?” Tian Pengfei said indifferently.

“Auntie, to be honest, the so-called major is just a means of livelihood and a stepping stone. As the number of college graduates increases, about 70-80% of them end up working in fields unrelated to their majors. It might be a bit unfortunate and wasteful, but as long as they can perform well in other positions, their lives still hold value.”

“You’re just using business and money-making as an excuse,” Lin Min said disapprovingly. “You should cherish your current learning opportunity; we can talk about the future later.”

“Mom, how come you’ve turned into a lecturing old lady?” Tian Yuxi pouted. “We’re all hungry, hurry up and make dinner.”

“Alright, I’ll get it done, sweetheart. You guys wait a moment,” Lin Min smiled and walked into the kitchen.

“Sis, I’m now partnering with Haowen to open a company,” Tian Nana proudly said.

Tian Yuxi was surprised and turned to look at Song Haowen. “What’s going on?”

“This, you can ask Nana,” Song Haowen said, not wanting to elaborate.

Tian Nana immediately elaborated on the establishment of “Haona Music Studio” in great detail. Tian Yuxi listened to the explanation, feeling a sudden stab in her chest, and for a moment, she was at a loss. She stared into Song Haowen’s eyes, remaining silent.

Song Haowen shrugged and said, “Establishing a music studio is the trend. If not now, it will be in the future, and it’s better to start early than late. However, my original intention was not to get involved in this, but Nana’s mom insisted I should join and even insisted on me taking half of the shares. I really feel awkward taking such a big advantage.”

“This is a mutually beneficial arrangement; it’s not about taking advantage of each other,” Tian Nana confidently said. “Currently, once our music studio is approved, it will be the first in the country in this industry, It will definitely cause quite a stir.”

Tian Yuxi calmed her emotions. “Haowen, do you really think this has potential?”

“Of course,” Song Haowen said without hesitation. “If this music studio is successful, it won’t just thrive in the music industry. In the future, it can also make a mark in the cultural industry, film and entertainment, and even real estate. If you’re interested, I can give you half of my shares.”

“You’re so generous?” Tian Yuxi blushed suddenly. “You don’t want to take advantage of Nana, and now you giving me shares for free? Luckily, with Second Aunt watching over this, there shouldn’t be any problems. I’ll congratulate you in advance for your success!”

“Sis, when you return from studying abroad, our music studio might have achieved some significant results,” Tian Nana said.

“Nana, I never expected your mom to be so visionary. I underestimated her before,” Lin Min walked over and interjected, having overheard their conversation.

“Mom, Second Aunt is an accountant, very knowledgeable about economics,” Tian Yuxi said.

Lin Min nodded. “Of course, I know that. But being an accountant alone doesn’t necessarily mean understanding so much. Look at me, I’ve been in the finance industry for over twenty years, but I don’t have the foresight that your Second Aunt has.”

“Auntie, my mom was inspired by Song Haowen to do this,” Tian Nana said with emotion.

“I just gave her a simple suggestion. It’s not my credit that she came up with a whole plan,” Song Haowen quickly denied.

Lin Min looked at Song Haowen as if she was looking at an alien; she felt that her thoughts couldn’t keep up with him.

Despite his young age, only seventeen, he was the provincial science champion in the college entrance examination, the first individual entrepreneur in the country, the hottest male singer, the most famous pop music composer, a lover of antiques, and the owner of four or five properties in Beijing.

Now, he had started the first national music studio. Lin Min couldn’t help but wonder how many “firsts” he would create if he lived to be her age.
