Chapter 3406 Opportunity Only Favors the Prepared

Liu Liu was eventually won over by Xie Xiaoxu's spicy snacks and bear-shaped drinks, and after school, she came to Little Red Horse Academy to speak up for him.

Meanwhile, on the way, Xi'er also got the sheet music for "Li Bai and Wang Lun Drinking Flower Wine". She didn't listen to Xie Xiaoxu sing it, but she hummed the melody herself by listening to the sheet music.

Upon hearing that Xie Xiaoxu had a dream of becoming a musician and wanted to ask her godfather to help her record a song, Xi'er immediately agreed to help without hesitation.

Upon arriving at Little Red Horse Academy, Little White suddenly appeared before Old Li with a smirk.

"Li Baibai, take a look at this song."

Xiao Bai gave the sheet music to Lao Li, who asked in surprise, "A song? I don't understand it."

"It's alright, it's alright, you can still take a look at the title."

Old Li glanced at the title; the crooked handwriting looked like a dog dragging on the ground with its hind legs broken, but he could at least make out the title: "Li Bai and Wang Lun Drink with Flowers and Wine".

"What does this mean? Why is the name so strange?"

Old Li glanced at the title, scanned the lyrics, and handed the notebook back to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai chuckled: "Li Baibai, it says you and Wang Lun are drinking and carousing."

Old Li chuckled and poured himself a cup of tea: "This Li Bai is not me, but the great Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, not me and Wang Lun drinking and carousing."

What he was thinking was, "You little brat, trying to sow discord with me!"

Xiao Bai chuckled, took the sheet music, and left, leading Liu Liu and Xi Er home to find the old man.

As soon as I entered the house, I went straight to the study. The door was ajar. I went in and a cheerful little voice rang out:

"Little Auntie—you're home from school! Hiahia~~~"

Robin sat gracefully at the small desk in the study, holding a storybook and reading it.

Xiao Bai asked in surprise, "Robin, what are you doing here? And reading a book?"

She was more inclined to believe Robin was rolling around in the sandpit in the yard than that her little niece would sit quietly in the study reading a book.

Robin chuckled and said ladylike, "I came to see my uncle to read a book. He wouldn't tell me a story, so I told him to read it by himself. Humph, I've already finished three stories."

Xiao Bai gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! Awesome!"

"Hahaha~~" Liu Liu laughed loudly, "Robin, you're holding your book upside down, hahaha, is this how you read a book?"

Robin was startled and quickly rearranged the storybook.

Xi'er spoke again: "Robin, Liuliu lied to you, and now you're turning against her."

Robin: "...That's too much, that's way too much~╭(╯^╰)╮"

Is this how they bully little kids? Robin was almost in tears.

However, she discovered that it was indeed Liuliu who had lied to her.

Liu Liu laughed heartily, finding endless joy in teasing the child.

Xiao Bai glanced at her little niece with pity. She was too clueless and felt that Liu Liu would ruin her sooner or later.

"Old man, are you busy?" she asked Old Man Zhang, who was sitting at his computer desk.

Zhang Tan was busy, but stopped when he saw them arrive.

"Why did you both come together today? Is something wrong?"

Liuliu eagerly pulled Xie Xiaoxu's crumpled notebook from her schoolbag and handed it over with both hands: "Dear Mr. Zhang! Please take a look! This is a new song written by Xie Xiaoxu from our class! Yes! You guessed it, it's that Xie Xiaoxu you don't really like. That kid is a bit annoying, but he's really passionate about music. Why don't you put aside his character for now and take a look at his song? We'll only look at the song and not judge his character."

Zhang Tan was both amused and exasperated: "When did I ever dislike Xie Xiaoxu?"

Liu Liu waved her hand: "Haha, I know, I know. This is a song written by Xie Xiaoxu, called 'Li Bai and Wang Lun Drinking Flower Wine'."

Zhang Tan took the notebook, saw the three crooked words "Xie Xiaoxu" on the cover, and then looked at the dense handwriting on the last page. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Li Bai and Wang Lun drinking with flowers? This song title... is quite unique."

Liuliu quickly said, "Isn't it special? It's incredibly creative! Mr. Zhang, take a look at the lyrics, they're so interesting!"

Zhang Tan looked at it carefully, and the more he looked, the more subtle his expression became, sometimes frowning, sometimes unable to suppress a smile.

After reading it, he looked up and asked, "What do you guys think?"

Xiao Bai honestly said, "The lyrics are a bit... but the tune is quite catchy. When I sang it in class today, everyone laughed like crazy."

Zhang Tan turned to Xi'er: "Xi'er, tell me, I really want to hear your opinion."

Xi'er habitually started praising him: "I think Xie Xiaoxu is already very good at writing this song! He's only in third grade, and he can write his own song, lyrics, and music. How amazing is that! And this song is really good!"

After speaking, she cleared her throat and tried singing two lines: "Li Bai was about to leave by boat when he suddenly heard Wang Lun roaring on the shore..."

Xi'er's voice is clear and sweet, but when she sings these bold and down-to-earth lyrics, her temperament is completely out of place. It sounds strange, like a fairy pulling an oxcart.

Zhang Tan couldn't help but laugh: "Xi'er, your singing style... isn't quite right."

Liuliu immediately volunteered: "I'll do it! Mr. Zhang, listen to me sing!"

She's in absolutely amazing shape right now.

Robin, however, was vengeful: "Liuliu, your singing is terrible, it sounds like a little horse neighing."

It's that little horse's neighing again!

For some reason, Liuliu gets very angry at this description.

"You're the one who neighs like a horse! You and your aunt both neigh like horses!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liuliu realized that something was wrong; it seemed she had offended someone she shouldn't have.

Xiao Bai's voice rang in my ears: "Alright, Liu Liu, you can go out now. There's nothing for you to do here. Go dig in the sand. By the time I come down, you'd better have already planted yourself in the sand."

Liuliu's eyes darted around as she said, "Okay, okay, I'll plant myself later, but first let me sing for Boss Zhang."

Robin excitedly shouted, "We'll plant durians later!"

How many times has she been trapped in the sand by Liuliu! Today she can finally turn the tables.

Without waiting for everyone's consent, she began to sing: "Li Bai was about to leave by boat! Suddenly, he heard Wang Lun roar on the shore! Your wine cup still has wine! No one can leave until they finish their wine!"

When Liu Liu shouted in her loud voice, coupled with her exaggerated body movements, she immediately brought out the down-to-earth and humorous flavor of the song.

As Zhang Tan listened, he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Even Robin, who was determined to go against her, couldn't help but laugh out loud, slamming his fist on the table and smashing books.

For Liuliu, this was the greatest praise for her performance, and she sang even more energetically.

After singing one verse, Liuliu wanted to continue singing until she finished the whole song.

But Xiaobai interrupted him.

"That's enough, that's enough."

Xiao Bai asked Old Zhang, "Old man, what do you think?"

Zhang Tan laughed, "This song... is indeed quite interesting and catchy. Xie Xiaoxu is truly a talent! However..."

"But what?" the three asked in unison.

"However, this style of song may not be very well accepted by the market," Zhang Tan said frankly.

Liu Liu said, "But everyone loves it! Today, the classroom was packed with people! People from other classes came to listen! After Xie Xiaoxu finished singing, everyone asked him to sing it again! How could it not be well-received by the market?"

Xiao Bai chimed in, "Old man, Xie Xiaoxu really loves music. He doesn't go out on weekends to write songs; he just stays home and works on them. Can you help him out and see if you can release a song for him too? Give him some encouragement. We've already discussed it; we don't need to do any promotion. We'll just record one and post it on the website. If people listen, great; if not, it's okay. He's still young; his future hasn't arrived yet."

Liuliu and Xiaobai were both speaking up for Xie Xiaoxu, and Xier naturally wouldn't stand idly by. Even if Xie Xiaoxu hadn't approached her, she would have helped: "Godfather, Xie Xiaoxu is working so hard, we should help him. Besides, I think his songs are quite good."

The three of them took turns trying to persuade Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan's resolve had softened, and he was about to speak when Robin exclaimed, "Help Xie Xiaoxu! Xie Xiaoxu is a good person! He wrote 'Let's Pick Up Trash Together' for me! I love that song!"

After she finished speaking, she started singing, but instead of "Let's Pick Up Trash Together," she sang "Li Bai and Wang Lun Drinking Flowers and Wine," which Liu Liu had just sung.

"Li Bai, Li Bai, don't go! Whoever doesn't finish their drink is a little dog!"

Goodness, they changed the words directly.

Zhang Tan finally smiled: "Alright, Xie Xiaoxu's passion for music is truly touching, and we should support and encourage him. Besides, the music market needs diversity. Liu Liu's 'I Am a Little Sun' is full of positive energy, and Xie Xiaoxu's down-to-earth humor might attract a new audience. How about this, this Saturday morning at 9:30, have Xie Xiaoxu come to Little Red Horse Music Company for a trial recording. If it goes well, we'll have him officially recorded. Xiao Bai, can you let Xie Xiaoxu know tomorrow?"

"Sure! Absolutely no problem!" Xiaobai exclaimed excitedly.

Everyone was very excited, as if they had succeeded.

"That's great! Xie Xiaoxu will be ecstatic if he hears this! Hiahia~~" Xi'er said with a smile.
