Translator: 549690339 |
At the end of August, the airport.
Lin Xuan, Xia Fan and Sun Yaohuo accompanied Lin Yuan as he left. This time, Sun Yaohuo didn’t wear a mask or sunglasses. His mindset evolved from not wanting to be recognized to eagerly wanting to be acknowledged by passersby. “He must be a star, right?”
“Seems like it!”
“What is his name again?”
A murmur came from afar.
Sun Yaohuo puffed up his chest and turned his head with a smile, but his smile froze the next moment as he saw several people rushing towards Xia Fan, some taking pictures, some asking for autographs…
“Xia Fan!”
“Xia Fan!”
The buzz revolved around them.
Just moments after Lin Yuan had gone onto the plane, Sun Yaohuo had already started feeling lonely in this vast airport, being numbly pushed out by the crowd.

Lin Yuan was not quite used to the feeling of flying. It wasn’t fear of heights, but his eardrums were uncomfortable as the plane soared higher. He could only try to sleep as much as possible, after all, this journey lasts seven hours.

The ticket was booked by his sister.
She purchased a business class ticket straight away.
By the time Lin Yuan found out, it was too late and he could only mourn silently. After all, there was a considerable price gap between business class and economy class. The difference could have afforded him a substantial amount of egg yolks.
At this point, the villa was about to be handed over.
Lin Yuan also bore the renovation costs.
He left the details to his sister.
After all these expenses, Lin Yuan was left with little money. Fortunately, September was looming, and in a few days, new manuscript fees and song royalties would be credited, so Lin Yuan wasn’t worried…
Seven hours later.
Lin Yuan arrived in Qi Continent.
It was still daylight in Qi Continent. Lin Yuan slept for half the journey. When he disembarked, he felt dizzy. After retrieving his luggage and washing his face in the restroom, he regained some clarity.
Qi Continent, Yi Cheng.
The city Lin Yuan arrived at. As one of the most developed cities in Qi Continent, it has a four-hour time difference from Su City in Qin Continent, which should not be too difficult for Lin Yuan to adjust to.
He made a phone call.
This was the number 01′ Zhou left for Lin Yuan, stating that Lin Yuan should contact him upon reaching Qi Continent. He would have someone pick him up and take him to the branch office, where his accommodations were already arranged.
The call was answered.
A girl’s voice on the phone inquired, “May I speak with Teacher Admirable Fish? I am waiting at the lounge on the first floor. The car is in the parking lot below. You can see me once you come out. I am wearing a red coat…”
“I see you.”
Lin Yuan looked at the girl in the distance.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s face, the other party was visibly startled. She put down her phone, walked over and asked with some uncertainty, “I am Gu Dong from Starlight Music’s branch office. Are you Teacher Admirable Fish?”
Lin Yuan nodded.
Gu Dong was somewhat surprised. The representative that the headquarters sent was so young that it was beyond her expectations. However, Gu Dong had researched about Admirable Fish before and knew that he was a renowned composer in Qin Continent, hence she did not dare to neglect him due to his youth. “Should we head to the office first?”
“Sure.”
Admirable Fish spoke little.
He seemed cold.
Gu Dong tentatively judged as she offered to take Lin Yuan’s suitcase, “You must be tired from the flight, I will take care of the luggage. The parking lot is right below, you can just follow me.”
Lin Yuan did not refuse.
As the car exited the airport, Gu Dong introduced the situation to Lin Yuan: “From now on, I will be your secretary in the branch office. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. Also, I have a personal question. Admirable Fish is your real name?”
“My name is Lin Yuan.”
Gu Dong nodded, recognizing Admirable Fish as a pseudonym. “Then I shall call you Mr. Lin, or if you prefer to be called Teacher Admirable Fish, that’s fine too. I will communicate this with the company.”
“Either way.”
Lin Yuan was succinct.
Gu Dong forced a smile, stopped speaking and focused on driving. Lin Yuan took out his phone to send a message to his sister. Apart from the time difference, there wasn’t much obstacle in communication between the two sides.
After sending the message.
Lin Yuan downloaded several popular music apps from Qi Continent. Two of these were also popular in Qin Continent, showing that they did have a lot of common ground, easing Lin Yuan’s homesickness slightly.
With earphones on.
Lin Yuan started listening to music.
He listened to the popular music of Qi Continent. The style was quite different from that of Qin Continent, and overall the quality was inferior to that of Qin Continent. This held true to the reputation of Qin Continent as the Land of Music. The Qi language was certainly more popular here. Of the Qi Continent’s popular songs Lin Yuan randomly played, over seventy percent were sung in Qi language, and the remaining thirty percent were sung in Mandarin.
After listening for an unknown amount of time.
They arrived at the branch office.
Lin Yuan and Gu Dong got off the car and arrived in front of a company whose wall had the words “Starlight Music.” In terms of scale, it was incomparable to the headquarters. Even the name of the company was slightly faded and rusted due to lack of maintenance.
“The company has three floors.”
Gu Dong introduced, “Facilities such as recording studios are on the first floor, the second floor is mostly work areas, and the third floor consists of offices. As the representative sent by the central office, you are on equal footing with the general manager, so we have arranged an office for you.”
