The answer is not to come back.

　　Lin Xingjiao lived in Lu Qi’s house for about half a month. At the beginning, he was a little cautious and treated himself as an outsider, but later he found that it was unnecessary. Lu Qi did not return to the villa for ten days in this half month. When he returned, Aunt Meng told him the next day, and Lin Xingjiao did not know about it.

　　After getting used to the living here, he became less restrained. However, he still didn’t dare to go online. Although Lu Qi had turned off his private messages before, he might still accidentally see bad words. So Lin Xingjiao simply didn’t touch his phone for the past ten days. Aunt Meng was nice to him, so he stuck to Aunt Meng every day. Apart from occasionally thinking about how to make money to pay back the debt, he would accompany Aunt Meng to water the flowers.

　　The flowers in the flower garden became more and more beautiful day by day. In comparison, Lin Xingjiao’s money-making business made no progress.

　　Aunt Meng seemed to see through his worries, and one day she asked, “Xingxing, what are you thinking about recently?”

　　Lin Xingjiao looked at Aunt Meng’s smiling face and said, “I see you’re always distracted.”

　　Lin Xingjiao told Aunt Meng that he wanted to find a part-time job to make money.

　　Aunt Meng didn’t have much experience in this matter. She helped Lin Xingjiao think for a while and said, “Didn’t Qiqi sing a while ago? A lot of people went. How about you also live broadcast this and sing.”

　　Lu Qi’s concert venue was the largest, with every seat packed with fans. There were still many people who couldn’t buy tickets. There was no comparison between him and Lu Qi.

　　Lin Xingjiao moved the water pipe to another place: “He is amazing. I have never sung before.”

　　”But you have a nice voice!” Aunt Meng felt that this could be done.

　　Even though she is not a professional, she thinks Lin Xingjiao has a nice voice. The main reason for this is that Lin Xingjiao’s voice is very clean, like cotton wool piled on the snow, white and ethereal.

　　”You look good, and if you don’t know how to sing, you can practice it yourself until you are good at it.”

　　Lin Xingjiao felt that what Aunt Meng said made sense. He suddenly remembered that he had wanted to watch the replay of Lu Qi’s concert before, but he had never watched it. It was not because he was busy, but he simply forgot about it. Now he remembered it after Aunt Meng reminded him.

　　Afraid that he would forget again, Lin Xingjiao went to the audio-visual room on the third floor seeing that there was nothing to do at the moment.

　　The recording studio is also on the third floor. Before Lin Xingjiao came, the third floor was basically Lu Qi’s private territory, so Li Rui was so opposed to it at that time.

　　But Lin Xingjiao didn’t know about this, and he was currently living in a small cubicle in the recording studio, and he didn’t notice that he was the only one coming in and out of the third floor, except for Aunt Meng who came up to clean once a week.

　　Lin Xingjiao had not been to the audio-visual room for half a month since he came here. The door here was not as thick as the one in the recording studio next door, but the sound insulation was still good. After pushing it open, the first thing that came into view was the chair, and then a large screen on the side of the wall. It was a little dark inside. Lin Xingjiao did not notice that he did not close the door properly. He entered the room and opened the curtains a little. After the light came in, he began to study how to open the equipment and where Lu Qi’s live broadcast playback was after it was opened.

　　After everything was done, Lin Xingjiao fell into the chair a little breathlessly, just like operating the machine himself in the laundry room before. He had never used it before, so he could still learn how to operate it, but it was quite tiring.

　　The curtains were still open, and Lin Xingjiao felt that it would not affect the viewing experience so he did not get up to close them tightly. He began to concentrate on watching the replay of Lu Qi’s live broadcast.

　　Lin Xingjiao remembered Aunt Meng’s suggestion. If there were outsiders present, he would be embarrassed to sing along with Lu Qi. But now he was the only one here. Occasionally, when he came across lyrics he liked, he would pause the picture on the screen and sing along.

　　Listening to his own music alone it was OK, it didn’t feel too bad, but the difference between him and Lu Qi was obvious, he had trouble catching his breath for a lot of times, but Lu Qi was very steady and even had time to interact with the audience.

　　While Lin Xingjiao was working hard to expand his career, he didn’t know that Lu Qi was taking a guest home at this moment, and he took the guest straight to the third floor.

　　Li Rui parked the car but did not follow because he could not help. The guest was Jin Tianyang, the leader of a record company. He contacted Lu Qi a few days ago and said that there was a song with a good melody. Lu Qi was writing a new song recently but had no inspiration. The record company got the news from somewhere and contacted Lu Qi saying that this melody might give him inspiration.

　　Normally, the company would come forward to take a look at such matters first, but this song seemed to be indeed different. After Lu Qi heard his demo, he actually asked Jin Tianyang if he could listen to the entire song before making a decision.

　　This kind of exception is generally not allowed, but Jin Tianyang considered that the person who made this request was Lu Qi, so after thinking it over again and again, he agreed. The only condition was that he had to go to Lu Qi’s private recording studio to listen to the audio, so as to reduce the risk of the audio leaking out.

　　Lu Qi agreed, and the current situation came about.

　　Lu Qi took Jin Tianyang straight to the third floor, took the spiral staircase up, and had to pass the audio-visual room to reach the recording studio.

　　Jin Tianyang lagged behind Lu Qi half a step. When he passed the audio-visual room, he found that the door was slightly open. He slowed down his pace out of curiosity, but Lu Qi, as the owner of the house, obviously didn’t know why the door was open now, so he couldn’t give an explanation.

　　He also stopped and pushed the door of the audio-visual room wider, wanting to see if it was just Aunt Meng who left it open when she was cleaning or if there was someone else there.

　　After the door opened, a clear and clean human voice was heard in the room. Without any mechanical equipment, the sound played in harmony with itself in the silent audio-visual room.

　　Lu Qi could tell that this was his song just by the tune, and he was not blind to the frozen picture on the big screen, which was his concert.

　　Lin Xingjiao forgot the lyrics halfway through singing this line. Just as he was about to rewind the song, he heard a muffled sound of a door hitting the wall behind him.

　　He was so frightened that he trembled slightly, then turned his head to see what was happening.

　　Lu Qi and Jin Tianyang were standing at the door, also looking at him. Lu Qi’s expression was unusually cold. He stood at the intersection of light and darkness, and his eyes looked at Lin Xingjiao without a trace of warmth.

　　On the contrary, Jin Tianyang next door had a look of surprise on his face.

　　“You sang well just now.”

　　He is the owner of a record company and was also a singer in the past.

　　From what Lin Xingjiao sang, we can tell that although he lacks training and his performance is not very bad, these can be made up for with time.

　　Only voice, this innate quality, is the factor that determines whether a singer can be recognized by the market and whether he has a bright future in this industry.

　　Jin Tianyang was very sure that Lin Xingjiao had a voice that was born for singing.

　　Lin Xingjiao might have been frightened by the two people who suddenly appeared.

　　It was more likely that he felt a strong sense of separation after seeing Lu Qi’s expression, and he was shocked. In short, he did not respond to Jin Tianyang’s words.

　　He just stared blankly at Lu Qi and didn’t even notice Jin Tianyang approaching and putting his arm around his shoulders.

　　”Have you signed a contract with a company? Have you ever considered becoming a singer?”

　　Lin Xingjiao was brought back to his senses by the question, and Lu Qi also came out of his cold state and approached leisurely.

　　Lu Qi answered Jin Tianyang’s words before Lin Xingjiao could, “You practice so hard and sing well, you must be thinking about it, right?”

　　Lin Xingjiao’s eyes lit up. He didn’t feel anything special no matter how Jin Tianyang praised him just now. But it was different when Lu Qi said this. He felt a little embarrassed, but still shook his head, “No, I haven’t considered it.”

　　Lu Qi sneered in his heart, thinking that Lin Xingjiao was really good at pretending, and said nothing more.

　　As if Jin Tianyang didn’t hear Lin Xingjiao’s “I haven’t considered it”, he continued with the words of not signing with the company: “Not signing with the company is good, you can consider signing with our Tianyang Company. I am the company’s executive president and I am qualified to hire you. Do you want to sign?”

　　Lin Xingjiao shook his head a little confused. He had clearly answered both of Jin Tianyang’s questions just now.

　　”Why not? Your voice is really good, you can give it a try. The company’s team will tailor-make your own songs for you and publish an album.”

　　Jin Tianyang found that none of these seemed to tempt Lin Xingjiao, and the man in front of him seemed young, and should be unable to resist the real temptation in front of him. The long-term bright future could not attract him.

　　So Jin Tianyang said it another way, “I can give you an A-signature. As long as you sign a contract with us, I will give you a 20,000 yuan incentive bonus.”

　　20,000 and 5.88 million, Lin Xingjiao’s eyes finally showed some excitement. Although the difference was a bit big, it was impossible for him to earn enough at one time. 20,000 was already a lot, and he had to accumulate little by little.

　　So Lin Xingjiao nodded, “Okay.”

　　”Then I’ll send you the mail when I get back to the company. Has your address always been here?”

　　Lin Xingjiao glanced at Lu Qi in a way he thought was inconspicuous, but Lu Qi was also looking at him. He immediately retracted his gaze and said hesitantly, “Yes.”

　　Jin Tianyang seemed to smile even more happily: “Then I can send it to you. It just so happens that our company and Mr. Lu will have a lot of cooperation in the future.”

　　”uncertain.”

　　Lu Qi’s slightly cold words rang out, and Jin Tianyang couldn’t understand why Lu Qi’s attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

　　”How could that be? Let’s go listen to the full melody now.”

　　Jin Tianyang hoped that Lin Xingjiao would help him say a few words, but Lin Xingjiao just stood there, unaware of the turbulent undercurrent beneath the sea.

　　Lu Qi didn’t object to this. As soon as he left the audio-visual room, Jin Tianyang took the initiative to signal, “Boss Lu, I actually signed that one just now for your sake. Otherwise, even if the voice conditions were great, I wouldn’t have signed A right away. After all, newcomers don’t have any works.”

　　Lu Qi sneered: “Boss Jin, I don’t remember asking you to give it to me.”

　　Jin Tianyang, who finally realized something was wrong, was a little confused: “No, Mr. Lu, isn’t he your relative?”

　　”no.”

　　He is not your relative, but he lives in your house for a long time. Jin Tianyang did not dare to put his thoughts on the surface, so he could only complain in his heart. However, he just listened to the voice and now recalled the man’s face.

　　Then I remembered some iconic curls.

　　Jin Tianyang broke out in a cold sweat. If he remembered correctly, the person in the audio-visual room just now should be the one who was secretly married to Lu Qi and was on the hot search list some time ago.

　　The light in the audio-visual room was dim, and Jin Tianyang was attracted by Lin Xingjiao’s voice at first, and then he was thinking about how to sign the person, so he didn’t pay much attention.

　　Moreover, it has been nearly half a month since the incident. If he had not been in the circle and paid special attention to this matter, he would probably have forgotten about Lin Xingjiao. Now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems to match, and the recognition is still very high.

　　Jin Tianyang finally discovered with difficulty that this seemed to be just one person.

　　So not only are they not relatives, Jin Tianyang felt like vomiting blood, but they are also enemies.

　　This time he flattered someone and hit the nail on the head.

　　”Haha.” Jin Tianyang tried to get away with it. He laughed twice and didn’t mention it again. “Boss Lu, let’s go to the recording studio. Don’t delay.”

　　”Boss Jin,” Lu Qi smiled, “I remembered I have something else to do. Let’s meet next time.”

　　What could happen now? The most important thing is to listen to the whole melody. Even a fool would know that Lu Qi was refusing to cooperate. Jin Tianyang was not a fool. The turning point of Lu Qi’s attitude was after they were in the audio-visual room.

　　After knowing the identity of the person staying here, Jin Tianyang was not so surprised. The only thing he couldn’t understand was, if Lu Qi hated Lin Xingjiao so much, why did he let him stay here, making him misunderstand that he was a distant relative.

　　”Mr. Lu, would you… like to reconsider it?” Jin Tianyang still didn’t give up. It had come to this point, the final step. As long as Lu Qi listened, he would not be afraid of him saying no.

　　Lu Qi’s expression did not change: “Next time there is a chance, I do have something to do now.”

　　After Jin Tianyang left, Lu Qi stood outside the audio-visual room and called Li Rui. Even he couldn’t figure out one thing.

　　”Do you think there is any possibility that this trip home could be leaked?”

　　Li Rui on the other end of the phone was a little surprised to hear that Lu Qi was not going to listen to the complete melody. He felt that Lu Qi should still like it very much. Moreover, he had indeed been preparing for this new song for a long time, and it was inevitable that he was annoyed that he had no clue yet. He originally thought that he could help Lu Qi break the deadlock today, but Lu Qi just asked him to send Jin Tianyang back, and now he asked this question.

　　”How could that be? Mr. Jin came here suddenly. The demo was auditioned at the company. The original schedule was to go to Shanghai in advance to shoot the cover of E magazine…”

　　After listening to Li Rui’s report, Lu Qi felt that it was impossible to leak the information. He rubbed his eyebrows and wondered if it was just a coincidence.

　　That was such a coincidence. He rarely came back during the day, and when he came back, he ran into Lin Xingjiao watching the replay of his concert and singing in the audio-visual room.

　　Aren’t you tired? Lu Qi’s lips curled up slightly for a second and then flattened. There was no way to wear the gentle mask anymore.

　　Even though things had come to this point, Lu Qi did not intend to ask Lin Xingjiao himself. Lin Xingjiao was too scheming, and he did not want to have any contact with him. If he had not please Aunt Meng before, he would not have kept him. However, he did not expect that he was still not satisfied after staying and was still restless.

　　No matter how he arranged it, he was tricked again this time.

　　Lu Qi didn’t expect that instead of causing trouble for Lin Xingjiao, Lin Xingjiao would take the initiative to come out of the audio-visual room to find him.
