Living By The Sea, So Brotherly

-

The next day, at Lychee Entertainment.

When it was almost time to get off work, Song Ying knocked on the door and entered the office. " Ninth Brother, Xi Lou is releasing a new single next month. The composer has already written the score."

The woman placed the composition on Jiang Jiu's table and said," Shen Yue asked her singer, Wu Yan, to release a hit song next month."

"Wu Yan is a singer-songwriter. His songs and lyrics are all his own creations, so to a certain extent, he's better than Xi Lou. If they release their songs next month, Xi Tower's chances of winning are not high."

"Shen Yue probably did it on purpose to compete with you."

Jiang Jiu was looking at the score. It was a simple ballad with nothing special about it.

Ever since she entered Lychee Entertainment as a manager three years ago, Shen Yue had been going against her. Jiang Jiu was also someone who refused to admit defeat and would retort every time.

This time was no exception.

"The lyricist who has been very popular in the past two years has come to the capital to ask him to write lyrics."

In the past two years, a lyricist with the pen name Gu Qing had become popular in the entertainment industry.

As long as he wrote the lyrics, the sales of the single would be astonishing. Of the top ten songs on the current music chart, nine were written by him.

There was a saying in the entertainment industry that as long as Gu Qing wrote the lyrics, the song and singer would be popular before they were decided.

" This person's whereabouts are unpredictable. Even if we find him, it will be difficult for him to write." The chances were very small, so Song Ying didn't have much hope. After all, the Queen of Golden Melody had rejected him when she asked him to write lyrics.

She had a very unique personality and wrote lyrics according to fate.

At that moment, Jiang Jiu's phone rang. "Okay, I'll come down after I'm done with my work," she said simply after picking up the call.

Jiang Jiu explained in detail about inviting Gu Qing to write the lyrics and then took the elevator downstairs.

Outside Lychee Entertainment's office building, a Porsche was parked quietly by the roadside.

It was a familiar car with the same number plate.

When Jiang Jiu was 17, he participated in a national NBA snooker competition. He used the prize money to buy this Porsche as a birthday present for Yu Jingzhou, who was 20 years old.

Jiang Jiu walked around the car to the front passenger seat, opened the door, got in, and immediately fastened his seatbelt.

His movements were smooth and fluid.

It was as if she was afraid that someone would help her put on her seatbelt.

Yu Jingzhou shook his head and turned up the heater slightly before driving into the street.

The car was very quiet throughout the journey. Jiang Jiu lowered her head and played with her phone while Yu Jingzhou drove seriously.

As they neared An Garden, Yu Jingzhou glanced at her phone screen and saw a screen full of handsome men.

"You want to cancel the engagement just because of these men?"

Jiang Jiu frowned and turned off his phone screen immediately. She turned to look at the man who was driving." Can't you have some manners?" You want to peek at my private chat records?"

"Also, what does my love life have to do with you? You've been living by the sea overseas for five years, yet you're so nosy."

Jiang Jiu was a sharp-tongued man who would not yield an inch.

Yu Jingzhou wasn't angry. Instead, he analyzed the pros and cons." These people aren't innocent. The Jiang family won't accept them." Moreover, it's not honorable for you to have a bad character."

Jiang Jiu didn't find it strange when he first heard this.

After recalling it twice, Jiang Jiu sat much straighter. She looked at Yu Jingzhou again with a complicated expression.

"Did you send me the location of Lin Xian's private room?"

Yesterday, she received an address message about Lin Xian. The content was that Lin Xian had a mistress and asked her to go to the crime scene.

She was bored during the weekend, so she went over.

It was no wonder that the bodyguards above the clouds had a part-time job of beating people up. It turned out that they had been instructed to do so.

When he questioned him, his silence was a tacit agreement. Yu Jingzhou had always been like this since he was young.

" You sent me the address of the casino where Zhou Ye gambled and the address of the apartment where Su Bai took drugs?" Jiang Jiu thought of the two possibilities.
