Chen Yuesheng felt that Tang Guo’s songs were very special and meaningful. He had been producing music for so many years, but he had never seen anyone who could instantly bring people into the world of music through their songs.

If the program could add a component where the guest performed a song midway through the show, then this week’s episode was definitely going to be very interesting.

“Since I’ve agreed to come on the show, I’ll follow Director Chen’s arrangements. As for me singing, Director Chen can just arrange that. I don’t have any opinion about it.”

As soon as Tang Guo said this, Chen Yuesheng immediately beamed with joy. He thought to himself, “Look, this is what I call a true musician.”

Everything she said or thought about revolved around music. She wasn’t just sitting off to the side, making comments.

“Great. Since Tang says so, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Chen Yuesheng was all smiles as he said, “Before this, I was still thinking about whether I should invite Tang to come on this show. But then, after thinking about it, I felt that it would be wrong to use your talent for such a simple task, Tang.”

Just by relying on those few songs of hers that everyone was long since familiar with, Tang Guo had already become so popular. The reason why she hadn’t become even more popular was that she hadn’t gone on any programs after “Beautiful Voices,” and didn’t endorse any other brands. This had the unintentional side effect of offending lots of people.

Anyone other than Tang Guo would have probably disappeared long ago if placed in the same situation.

Chen Yuesheng then asked again, “Tang doesn’t seem to like participating in such programs?”

“I don’t really want to participate in programs that have nothing to do with music,” Tang Guo said with a smile on her face. Then, she went on to say, “I’m not interested in that, and it’s also a waste of time.”

Though she spoke in an arrogant, disdainful tone, Chen Yuesheng didn’t think what she’d said was obnoxious.

On the contrary, he found it very pleasant to the ear. Was this not her indirectly admitting that she had agreed to participate in “The Child of Music” because it was a music program?

“Nowadays, there aren’t many people who are as dedicated to making music as Tang.” Chen Yuesheng sighed, feeling somewhat emotional. “What a pity,” he said, “there aren’t many programs that are truly about making music.”

Even though he was delighted, Chen Yuesheng also didn’t want such a promising junior to become an ordinary nobody. He told her, “Tang, you can come to me if you meet with any difficulties in the future.

“If it’s something music-related, I can still put in a word or two.”

Tang Guo’s mouth curved into a smile. “Great,” she replied. “Then I shall accept Director Chen’s offer with gratitude.”

“To be honest, I really do have something that I need some help with,” she said. “I wrote quite a handful of songs a while ago and was ready to release a record, but I don’t know anyone who’s an expert in producing music,” Tang Guo said. She was a little forthright and bold in asking for this favor, and she also seemed to be taking advantage of Director Chen’s eagerness to help her with her music. The System secretly despised her for this, but it didn’t dare to make a single sound as it listened to her speak. “Director Chen, you specialize in music production, so I would like to ask you to help me out.”

When Chen Yuesheng heard this, his first reaction was, “You’re writing songs again? What genre? Are they just as good as the others?”

His eyes were shining, and he almost made Tang Guo sing the song directly to him.

“When I came here today, I also brought these songs along with me.” Tang Guo had clearly come prepared. She took out a music player and passed it over to Chen Yuesheng.

This was her way of saying, “You are my superior. Please listen to the song and tell me how I can improve it.”

Chen Yuesheng took the player from her and eagerly listened to the song. This was exactly what he had expected and hoped for.

If Tang Guo hadn’t been signed by Galaxy Music Entertainment Co., he would have signed her under him—or, unable to hold himself back, would have even taken her on as his disciple.

The only thing was, after listening to the songs on the player, he felt that his idea was a little ridiculous.

Tang Guo was a complete genius. Just based on the ten songs on the player, he wasn’t the least bit qualified to take her in as his student.

“Tang, I plan to work with you on releasing a record.” Chen Yuesheng made this decision without even stopping to think about it. He said, “You can think it over first. And if you don’t have a problem with it, I’ll have someone prepare the contract.”
