AFVSIBS Chapter 23: Chance Encounter with the Rising Star of the Music Industry
Yang Hanhan, seeing Zhou Chen coming back with her grandmother, also showed a surprised expression.
"Yang Jie, what are you doing here?"
Reacting, Zhou Chen politely asked Yang Hanhan.
"Do you two know each other?" Grandma Yang asked curiously from the side.
"Grandma, I just met him. Didn't I tell you earlier that he's participating in an event for trainees today? He happens to be one of the trainees in this cycle." Yang Hanhan explained as she helped her grandmother sit down.
"So that's how it is, what a coincidence. Young man, why don't you sit down too? You don't need to be too formal when you visit my house, just treat it like your own home." Grandma Yang said warmly after understanding the situation.
Zhou Chen could roughly guess their identities from Yang Hanhan addressing Grandma Yang as her grandmother, which was quite unexpected.
"Thank you, Aunt Yang."
After thanking her, Zhou Chen planned to sit down, but Yang Hanhan immediately invited him to sit next to her.
"Zhou Chen, sit next to me. I want to chat with you." Yang Hanhan said.
"Yes, young man, don't be shy. Sit next to my Hanhan. She has some fame in the entertainment industry now. Perhaps she can help you a bit with your debut." Grandma Yang, who was in her sixties, was experienced in reading people. Although she hadn't interacted with Zhou Chen much, she could tell he was a kind and sincere person, so she hoped to help him.
For any trainee, such an opportunity would be like a pleasant surprise.
But Zhou Chen didn't seem to care much because he currently maintained an indifferent attitude towards whether he could debut or not. Living a healthy life was his current pursuit.
"Thank you, Aunt Yang."
Out of politeness, Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. After thanking her, he sat down next to Yang Hanhan.
At this moment, a very pleasant fragrance of a woman wafted over.
During the program earlier, Zhou Chen hadn't felt it because he was sitting too far away. Now, sitting next to Yang Hanhan, he deeply felt it.
The fragrance was very pleasant, the kind that made people feel comfortable.
With the experience of a forty-year-old man from his previous life, he knew that only women who were not in a relationship had such a fragrance.
This also indicated that Yang Hanhan had not been in a relationship with any man yet.
Being able to debut based on her own abilities, Yang Hanhan was indeed one of the few inspirational women in the entertainment industry.
"Yang Jie, regarding the song 'The Moon Represents My Heart', if you genuinely like it, I'll write down the complete lyrics and melody another day and send them to you."
After sitting down, Zhou Chen brought up again the matter of giving "The Moon Represents My Heart" to her to sing.
"I also wanted to talk to you about this. There's a question I was curious about, but it wasn't convenient to ask during the program. Can I ask you now?"
"Of course, feel free."
"Although I really like the song 'The Moon Represents My Heart,' I'm curious why you didn't choose to sing it yourself. It's such a great song, and it's very rare for a trainee to have such an outstanding song. I can say, if you debuted with this song, it would definitely cause a sensation." Yang Hanhan finally had the opportunity to express her confusion.
"Yang Jie, would you believe me if I said I don't care about debuting?"
"Don't care about debuting? How can a trainee not care about debuting? So many trainees are breaking their necks for a chance to debut." Yang Hanhan, being a trainee herself, understood how much this group desired to debut.
"That's other people, but I just want to live a healthy life now. I've thought it over, even if I successfully debut and become a star like you, I'll still be busy with life, maybe even working overtime and staying up late. My body won't have a normal daily routine." Zhou Chen expressed his thoughts.
"This..."
Yang Hanhan was stunned because she didn't expect Zhou Chen to have this idea.
To be honest, she had similar thoughts over the past year. But the reality was that she had no turning back. So she gradually got used to it.
"Hanhan, I think what Zhou Chen said makes sense to some extent. You look much more exhausted than a year ago. You must take good care of yourself, don't overwork yourself for the sake of success." Grandma Yang, sitting beside them, also expressed her concern to Yang Hanhan.
"Thank you, Grandma, for your concern. I'll take care of myself, so please don't worry about me." Yang Hanhan replied.
In his past life, Zhou Chen had also comforted himself in this way, but eventually, he died young.
Of course, he wouldn't persuade Yang Hanhan to do anything. After all, Yang Hanhan's career was flourishing, and it was impossible for her to slack off like him. Besides, this was his own idea and plan, and he didn't intend to persuade anyone.
He just stated his thoughts and plans.
"Zhou Chen, I'm quite surprised by what you just said. But if you've already decided like this, I won't try to persuade you." Yang Hanhan said to Zhou Chen.
"Thank you, Yang Jie. I've made up my mind. After my contract expires, I'll live the life I want. So whether I debut or not, I really don't care. This song 'The Moon Represents My Heart' was something I created before. Give me your contact information later, and I'll contact you when I finish writing it." Zhou Chen said.
"Let's add each other on WeChat. Actually, I have two or three phone numbers, and most of the time, it's my assistant who answers them. WeChat is my private contact, so I can see messages anytime." Yang Hanhan suggested.
After all, this was the first time since becoming a rising star in the music industry that Yang Hanhan actively asked someone to add her on WeChat. In her WeChat contacts, there was not a single trainee, but from this moment on, Zhou Chen became an exception.
"Hanhan, since Zhou Chen seems reluctant to debut, I think you could help that Liu Chao. He's quite pitiful. He lost his parents at a young age, picked up junk to put himself through college, and then signed a trainee contract with the company to prove his musical talent." While Zhou Chen and Yang Hanhan were adding each other on WeChat, kind-hearted Grandma Yang thought about helping Liu Chao.
"Yang Auntie, what did you just say? Liu Chao is pitiful? He lost his parents at a young age? Who told you this?" Zhou Chen thought of something and immediately asked.
