Chapter 27 Mu Bai's Happy Life

The editor-in-chief of Vivid Publishing House is called Bai Xiaoliang, 27 or [-] years old, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looks refined.He had a pretty smile, his eyes were crescent-like, and his expression and tone were easy-going.

When Bai Xiaoliang opened the express delivery, he first saw the background illustration.

The three main elements of the illustration make up a complete short story.

The first element is the opened postal package on the table, which are all specialties of Pinghai Prefecture such as fried chestnuts and shredded squid.

The second is that under the moonlight outside the window, you can see the outline of an ancient building, which is the library of Holy White College, built more than 300 years ago, and is the landmark building of Holy White College.

The third element is the boy who looks at the moon in the painting and the slight sadness on his expression.

These three elements outline the story of a young man from Pinghai Prefecture who was studying at Shenghuai College, suddenly received a package from his hometown, and saw the full moon in the sky, which symbolized reunion, and couldn't help feeling homesick under the moonlight.

Especially the young man's demeanor was handled very well. Just like what my sister said on the phone, there is a sense of yearning amidst sadness, which accurately expresses people's complicated feelings for their hometown.

This illustration is very good, even in the original poetry anthology, and the poem is also very good. My sister has talked with Bai Xiaoliang several times on the phone about "Thoughts in a Quiet Night", and he has heard this poem long ago.There is no problem at all in poetry collections of this level.

What worried him was the handwritten verses in the illustrations and the short story about the author of "Quiet Night Thoughts".

Bai Xiaoliang recognized those few lines of handwritten poems at a glance as his sister's handwriting.

This made his younger sister sit with a strange man, reciting poems and painting in his mind.

The good cabbage at home has been slapped by pigs like this!

There is also a short story about the author, and he immediately recognized it as his sister's writing.It's not that the writing is not good, the more enthusiastic the author of "Quiet Night Thoughts" is in the short story, the more Bai Xiaoliang's heart sinks, and he always feels that his status in his sister's heart is getting further and further away.

Shall I tell my mother about it?

Bai Xiaoliang thought for a while, but still shook his head. The things in the publishing house are enough for his mother to worry about, so he can figure it out on his own.

He was planning to go to Shenghuai to see his sister when he had time, and by the way, find out who this Mu Bai is.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaoliang couldn't help sighing. His position as the editor-in-chief is not very secure now, and he can only think about the matter of going to Shenghuai.

……

Jiang Zhenrui stood with his arms folded at the door of the teaching building of the Music Department, waiting for the bell to ring after school at noon.

He is an agent at Baixiang Music Company. Some time ago, his boss found out from an acquaintance at Shesheng Music Company that the composer of "Princess" has not yet signed a contract with Shesheng!

This made the boss very happy. The sound of the song "Princess" was ignored. For Baixiang Company, it was a masterpiece that might enter the top ten of the "New List".

So when the boss held a meeting last week, he announced that he would sign Totoro at all costs.

If this buddy comes up with a few more songs of similar quality to "Princess", then Baixiang Music Company will make a fortune by pointing at this singer!
However, when the people in the company showed their abilities and went to inquire about Totoro, they found that this Totoro was so unpredictable that he couldn't find any information about him.

The boss is also really anxious, afraid that Totoro will be robbed by other companies, so at this week's regular meeting, the boss boasted that anyone who can sign Totoro will be given a bonus of [-]!

Everyone didn't do the work at hand, and they asked their connections to find a way to find out the whereabouts of Totoro.

Just today, Jiang Zhenrui found out from a staff member in the sound recording studio that Totoro's real name is Mu Bai, and he is a student of the Music Department of Sheng Huai College.

He rushed to Shenghuai College non-stop, thinking that when the students finished class at noon, he would shout "Mu Bai" in the crowd twice, so that he might find Totoro.

Jiang Zhenrui looked at his watch anxiously several times. The closer it was to the end of get out of class, the more students were waiting at the door of the teaching building.

Most of them are boys, waiting for their girlfriends to have dinner together.

There was a girl in the crowd that caught Jiang Zhenrui's eyes. She had long black hair, and her expression was slightly melancholy. Coupled with her literati-like attire, the word "talented girl" came to Jiang Zhenrui's mind. .

Looking at it like that, this girl is also waiting for someone, and seeing that she looks a little shy from time to time, Jiang Zhenrui guesses that she is waiting for her boyfriend.

Jiang Zhenrui said in his heart, who knows which brat is so lucky?

jingle bell~
When the get out of class bell rang, the students rushed out immediately.

Jiang Zhenrui took a deep breath, and shouted "Mu Bai" a few times in the crowd, which attracted many people's attention, but no one talked to him, which made him a little disappointed.

Seeing fewer and fewer students coming out of the teaching building, Jiang Zhenrui sighed, and was about to inquire with a few students, but found that the pretty girl hadn't left, and looked at him strangely.

Jiang Zhenrui thought, she doesn't think of herself as a pervert, does she?
Just when he was about to make fun of himself, the girl suddenly shouted happily to the door: "Student Mu Bai!"

It turned out that she was waiting for "Classmate Mu Bai", Jiang Zhenrui looked at him with scrutiny, wanting to see who that boy was.

He looks pretty good, clean and energetic, but it's disappointing to be in a wheelchair.

Jiang Zhenrui sighed in his heart: Hey, a flower... Wait, classmate Mu Bai!

He hurried forward: "You are Mu Bai?"

Mu Bai was startled by the eager-looking uncle in front of him: "Ah, yes."

"Haha, I finally found you!" Jiang Zhenrui said excitedly, "Kung fu pays off! Mu Bai, sign a contract with our company!"

Mu Bai didn't answer, but said: "Student Xiaoqi found me first, can I let her finish talking first?"

Jiang Zhenrui was a little puzzled: "Okay, okay." Aren't ordinary students excited when they hear that a company is willing to sign a contract with him?

Mu Bai looked at Bai Xiaoqi, she was a little embarrassed and said: "I came to tell classmate Mu Bai that "Quiet Night Thoughts" has been adopted by the publishing house. The collection of poems is expected to be released before the third day of December. Student Mu Bai has settled that the first batch of royalties for "Silent Night Thoughts" will not be received until January."

Mu Bai smiled warmly and said: "This matter has made you busy and hard work. To express my gratitude, I invite you to have a small stir-fry at noon today."

"No, no." Bai Xiaoqi waved her hands again and again: "I am also very happy to contribute to the publication of "Quiet Night Thoughts."

"You're welcome, just help me push the wheelchair."

Only then did Bai Xiaoqi agree: "Okay."

Jiang Zhenrui on the side saw the needles: "Well, I invite you at noon, let's go out to eat, eat whatever you want!"

Mu Bai said indifferently: "Don't go out, there are many bad people outside."

He invited Bai Xiaoqi to dinner, firstly to thank him, and secondly to be wary of this strange uncle.After all, he is now in a wheelchair and has to be more defensive.

As long as you are in school, you don't have to worry about Bai Xiaoqi's safety. If this strange uncle plots something wrong, Bai Xiaoqi can help you call the security.
