Chapter 143 - Buddhist-Style
Looking at this emoji, Chen Ran's head was full of question marks.
He subconsciously felt sothing wasn't right.
When Zhang Fanzhi chatted with him, she was always dry and straightforward.
Since when would she use emojis?
He hesitated for a mont, then replied with a /Smile /Smile /Smile over.
The other side replied with a "Thank you".
Great, now he was certain; the person on the other end of the phone really wasn't Zhang Fanzhi.
For older people, this /Smile symbol might feel quite amiable.
But people of Chen Ran's age truly didn't like it; they would only casually send it over when being extrely perfunctory.
Although Zhang Fanzhi was a year older than him, she wasn't exactly getting on in age either.
As for the subsequent "Thank you," that was even more amiss.
With Zhang Fanzhi's character, if she were truly terribly busy, there was a high probability it would just be an "Mm".
Adding even one more character would be considered too troubleso.
By Zhang Fanzhi's side, soone who wasn't young and could hold her phone—he didn't even need to think about it. Besides Tao Lin, who else could it be?
Chen Ran thought about it for a bit, then replied with another sentence: "I recently ca up with another song, and I feel it's not bad. If you co back when you're free, we can discuss it together and see if it's suitable."
"Okay, thank you." The ssage ca back, confirming it for Chen Ran beyond a shadow of a doubt.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he didn't open his mouth calling her 'Zhizhi, Zhizhi', otherwise, there would have been a problem.
Don't look at how little Zhang Fanzhi usually spoke; people like this were actually very ticulous in their thoughts. She had definitely deleted their chat history clean.
If the secret was exposed on Chen Ran's end, Zhang Fanzhi would definitely be questioned over there.
……
Chen Ran truly hadn't guessed wrong; the one holding Zhang Fanzhi's phone right now was exactly Tao Lin.
She was following Zhang Fanzhi to record a program. Since Xiao Qin didn't co, the phone was in her hands.
At this mont, Tao Lin was staring at the phone, completely dumbfounded.
"This is... Chen Ran?"
Saying he ca up with a song and wanting to discuss it together with Zhang Fanzhi, it seed it could only be Chen Ran.
But could soone tell her why Chen Ran's WeChat alias was unexpectedly 'Zhang Ruyi'?
In the beginning, she saw it was a ssage sent over by Zhang Ruyi, so she conveniently replied with a /Smile over. How wonderful this emoji was—smiling slightly, very affable, and full of loving care.
But the subsequent words Chen Ran sent over indeed left her utterly baffled.
After sorting things out clearly, suspicions suddenly sprang up.
However, the ssage Chen Ran sent over was also quite polite, not looking too intimate either.
Then there was still no need to change Chen Ran's alias to Zhang Ruyi!
Tao Lin couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't ask Chen Ran either.
At this ti, Zhang Fanzhi had already finished singing her song and arrived backstage.
Tao Lin held the phone and asked, "Xiyun, Chen Ran sent you a ssage congratulating you on the good results of your new song."
Zhang Fanzhi was slightly dazed. She gave an 'Oh' and took the phone over, sure enough seeing the ssages Chen Ran had sent over.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly; she had forgotten Chen Ran would send a ssage over.
Tao Lin's phone was out of battery, and she was concerned about the new song's data, so she was using Zhang Fanzhi's phone.
Chen Ran just happened to run right into the muzzle of the gun.
Zhang Fanzhi exited WeChat as if nothing had happened, sat beside Tao Lin, and began looking at the new song's data.
As if Chen Ran hadn't sent any ssages at all.
Seeing her like this, Tao Lin couldn't resist asking, "What's going on with your phone? It's clearly Chen Ran, so why is his alias set to your sister?"
"Is it?" Zhang Fanzhi furrowed her brows.
Tao Lin said, "Look for yourself."
Zhang Fanzhi opened WeChat, took a glance, and then said, "I made a mistake."
As she spoke, she unhurriedly changed the alias to Chen Ran and conveniently cleared the chat box.
Tao Lin was slightly puzzled; this could be mistaken too?
In the past, she had suspected that Zhang Fanzhi might click with Chen Ran, but recently, over such a long period of ti, the two hadn't chatted much, so obviously it was impossible for there to be a situation between them.
Speaking of intersections, it was probably just Zhang Fanzhi's parents and the matter of writing songs; Zhang Fanzhi wouldn't go so far as to deliberately set Chen Ran's alias as Zhang Ruyi.
Although that was said, Tao Lin always felt sothing was off in her heart, but she couldn't pinpoint it.
She said, "Chen Ran said he thought of another new song. When our promotion ends, do you want to find ti to make a trip back?"
Zhang Fanzhi asked absentmindedly, "Didn't you not want to co into contact with him?"
Tao Lin said, "If it's dating, it's definitely a no-go, but the quality of the songs Chen Ran writes is high; keeping in touch is very beneficial to you."
She didn't want Zhang Fanzhi to constantly be in contact with Chen Ran either; it was indeed very unsafe. If Zhang Fanzhi wanted to date, it couldn't be these two years, but the songs Chen Ran wrote were simply too good.
'Courage' just went online today; just looking at the current data, one knows it will definitely beco a massive hit.
Being able to write two songs like this, who would dare say Chen Ran won't be capable later on? Fostering a good relationship with this kind of person definitely won't result in taking a loss.
Zhang Fanzhi didn't agree imdiately, reluctantly nodding and saying, "Let's see how the situation goes."
Tao Lin was slightly speechless. A person whose eyes would light up upon hearing there was a good song in the past, how had she beco so Buddhist-style now?
……
Zhang Fanzhi's new song 'Courage' was indeed a massive hit.
Just on the first day of its release, it entered the top twenty of the New Song Chart.
Starry Sky had really invested heavily, even buying a few Weibo trending search spots.
This level of promotional effort made Lin Hanyun endlessly green-eyed.
Back when they wanted to suppress Zhang Fanzhi, the company said they would vigorously promote her, but the scale completely couldn't compare with now.
Watching Zhang Fanzhi's new song explode in popularity upon release, she truly felt so jealousy in her heart, and asked the manager beside her:
"Zhang Xiyun's two songs were both written by the sa person, can we get in contact with them?"
Zhao Heting shook his head and said, "There's no news at all, no way to contact them. I heard the company approached Tao Lin, and the person who wrote the songs is Zhang Xiyun's relative. They aren't after fa and even signed a confidentiality agreent; it's impossible to find out anything."
"Zhang Xiyun's relative? It's definitely an excuse! Tao Lin and Zhang Xiyun just don't want to leak the person's identity!" Lin Hanyun frowned.
Zhang Xiyun's luck was too good. She refused to obey the company's arrangents and was on the verge of being put on ice, but who knew her new song would actually beco a massive hit.
Starry Sky itself currently had problems and planned to heavily promote Zhang Xiyun. If Lin Hanyun still didn't have a new song release to draw popularity, she would suffer a crushing defeat in this struggle.
No, she had already lost!
Lin Hanyun said, "Brother Ting, go ask around for again. If you can find out about that musician, that's best. If you can't, we'll contact other people!"
Zhao Heting responded sowhat helplessly. With absolutely no clues, where was he supposed to go ask around?
It would be great if Zhang Xiyun released the information, but putting himself in her shoes, if he were Tao Lin, having such a resource, he would definitely hide and cover it up.
He then shifted his line of thought. Back when the company asked Tao Lin for information, the new song 'Courage' hadn't been released yet, so they didn't know the results. Now that the results were this good, would the company be tempted by this musician?
One must know, Starry Sky was currently encountering problems and urgently needed this kind of song resource to promote people.
In a short period of ti, quite a few thoughts arose in Zhao Heting's head.
Relying solely on him to ask around with not a single clue, how could he possibly find that musician?
But if the company stepped forward, it would be different.
