As he looked at the fascinated expression of Yuan Datong, Zhang Xiaohua knew that he had been completely conquered by "Broken Hearted Woman."

This song had brought Faye Wong to fame, it was extremely popular in Asia and was widely sung. The record sales had broken through into platinum, swept the music scene, won numerous awards, and regardless of language or mood, the song captured everyone's heart.

A long time passed before Yuan Datong finally regained his expression and shook his head. He was very excited and asked, "This... did you really create this song?"

"Of course." Zhang Xiaohua responded without a thought. Although a little brazen, he couldn't exactly tell this Yuan Datong that the song was from another world, right?

"Well, now we are talking about business." Zhang Xiaohua swung his arms around his chest and sat on the desk, just like a boss's posture. He seriously looked at Yuan Datong and asked: "Can you give this song some background music by following the tune that I had sang? Of course, the song must be performed by a woman as after all, the title of the song is called 'Broken Hearted Woman'. Which is also the theme and essence of the song. Finding the right singer can wait though, as we need to make a sample first."

"Broken Hearted Woman!" Yuan Datong had become intoxicated again.

At the moment, Yuan Datong was deeply impressed by Zhang Xiaohua!

He couldn't think of how this kid had managed to not only write such a beautiful song. Even the name of the song was so chic and beautiful, life really was unfair.

At the same time, Yuan Datong was sure that once this song was published, it would set off a wave of frenzy in the music scene. He couldn't talk about the rest of the world, but it would definitely be able to conquer Asia!

"What are you waiting for?!" Yuan Datong became excited and did not hesitate. He took out his mobile phone and dialled five consecutive numbers, calling up all the members of the studio.

Half an hour later, the sun had risen above the horizon, signifying that a new day had arrived.

At this time, in addition to Zhang Xiaohua and Yuan Datong, there were now four men and a woman inside the studio.

The young woman was beautiful and the men were full of vigour and vitality, seemingly belonging to the rock and roll scene. They released the unique temperament of musicians.

The girl's name was Emma and she was the professional keyboard and piano player for the studio. She wore a beautiful dress which covered her slim body and her shoulder length hair was lavender in colour, she could be described as hot.

Three of the men were guitarists. The lead guitarist was called Xiaohai, the deputy melodic guitarist Haozi and there was the bassist who was named Jimmy. Finally, there was a guy who was the drummer for the studio and his name was Jack. They had a clear division of labour and they were all at ease with each other.


After a brief introduction to Zhang Xiaohua, Yuan Datong gave everyone the lyrics and rough scores he had written in advance. He immediately clapped his hands with enthusiasm: "Listen up everyone, even if we don't get to eat or drink today, we must put a gorgeous first coating on the 'Broken Hearted Woman'. Whether or not we can bring out the full potential of this song depends on today!"

"Roger that!" Everyone replied in unison.

All the members of the team were in full swing and responded to the challenge. They picked up their pens and paper and took every possible measure. They began to carefully compose music for their new song "Broken Hearted Woman."

From noon to dusk, under the creativity of everybody involved, three different styles of music scores were created. Zhang Xiaohua's saw how everybody was being professional about their job and decided to buy lunch for them.

After seeing that the table was filled with fragrant meals, they didn't eat or drink anything, they didn't even blink their eyes. They just stared straight at the three scores to desperately screen them and discuss any required modifications.

As he looked at the way these people were hard at work and seeing that they took the job so seriously, Zhang Xiaohua was also deeply infected. He could not help but get drawn in!

This was the first time that he had seen such a hard-working team. Apart from being united, Zhang Xiaohua also saw that these people had a dedication and passion for music. They seemed capable of not just creating music, but also life!

At this moment, the studio was hot.

After repeated reflections and constant revisions, finally, everyone went all out and made a completed score.

The next thing that Yuan Datong's peers had to do was to play the song perfectly and make the recordings and samples. For this, they relocated to the recording studio on the second floor.

The members already knew each other and they had picked up the musical instruments that they were proficient at.

They hadn't eaten or drank anything all day. However, the spirit of everyone was surprisingly strong and Zhang Xiaohua did not see any signs of fatigue on their faces. All he could see were the looks of pure expectation.

Yuan Datong personally administered the mixing board and was responsible for tuning and recording in front of the mixer.

In order to increase the effect, Zhang Xiaohua also personally joined the battle and stood at his position in front of the microphone in the studio.

The singer role was played by Zhang Xiaohua and although he had not started to sing yet, he seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with the team. With only one look, they seemed to understand each other's minds.

In cooperation with the team, Zhang Xiaohua got a strong feeling that their path to becoming famous was just around the corner!

The next moment, under the command of Yuan Datong and the performance of Emma, ​​the beautiful keyboard melody slowly resounded, and it perfectly opened up a good lead.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard it, he was also involuntarily shocked!

Unconsciously, Zhang Xiaohua once again sang "Broken Hearted Woman," this was an immortal song and it was entirely in accordance with the style of Faye Wong. Now, from this moment on, this immortal song's copyright was in his hands and would open the pathway to his success.

Xiaohai, Haozi, Jack, and Jimmy also performed their duties. They dared not have the slightest carelessness and, although they weren't grandmasters, they had captured the most incisive interpretation of the song. The assembling of sounds was light and soothing and the lyrics complemented each other, it could only be described as perfect and it sounded impeccable.

After 4 minutes...

With the falling of the last note, a first classic song which now belonged to the team was finally recorded successfully. There was not even the slightest pause during the recording and all of them were attentive. In one go, the right balance was found.

At this time, several people had invariably looked up to Yuan Datong, who had been working on tuning and recording. Yuan Datong was already in tears, because it was the best song he had ever heard, and he and his team had actually created this masterpiece.

Slowly, he raised a fist up into the air and immediately showed a thumbs up to signify that the song was recorded successfully.

Suddenly, there was a burst of joy in the recording studio. Not only Emma, ​​but even the four males couldn't help but cry out together. As if they were children, they seemed to feel the urge to run into the streets and scream with excitement.

Only Zhang Xiaohua wasn't moving and he looked very calm, because, for him, this was only the beginning. The real good show was still to come and there wasn't really anything to be happy about, just yet.

However, Zhang Xiaohua had to admit that this was a very professional music team.

Zhang Xiaohua had thought that if he wanted to arrange the music for the song, they would take at least ten days or more, but he never expected that, in just one day, they would create a melody for the song that was basically the same as the one from Earth, if not better. He had to admit that they were musical geniuses.

It seemed that, if he wanted to be successful, there were many things he couldn't do without!

At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua also made a decision.

Since everyone was so understanding, why not open a company?

What's more, this studio's situation had never been too optimistic, but these people had persisted until now and it wasn't hard to see that they clearly did not pursue music just for the money, but instead insisted on their ideals. Zhang Xiaohua appreciated them very much.

He suddenly spoke up: "Do you want to follow me?"

This short sentence had momentarily plunged the recording studio into silence.

"What do you mean...?" Emma looked blankly, and could not help but ask. Others were also stunned and turned to watch Zhang Xiaohua, seemingly puzzled.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to talk nonsense and went straight to the topic: "I'll be responsible for making lyrics in the future. You just have to be responsible for producing the music that I want. Before that, I'd like to set up a music company first and, regardless of how much money it will make in the future, you will not lose your shares. If you agree, then "Broken Hearted Woman" will be the first goldmine of our company and your name will also be displayed in the composer's section of the song. I believe that this song alone can spread our company's name and will increase your visibility. What do you think?"

Hearing that, Emma and the others first looked up at each other and then all looked at Yuan Datong. They were obviously waiting for him to make the decision.

Before Yuan Datong could even speak, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and added: "The company will adopt a stock system. So, whether or not you have any money to invest in now, today's participants will all have a share in the company."

Zhang Xiaohua was not an ambiguous person. The experience in his past life had taught him that, regarding things which involved other people's benefits, he needed to be clear. Then, he became serious and said: "After the company is established, no matter how much money it will make in the future, nothing will change. However, Emma, ​​Xiaohai, Haozi, Jimmy and Jack, you five must invest at least 1% of your total income into the company and you will get 5% of the shares. As for the rest, they will all be mine. Do you have any questions?"

After hearing that, Emma and the others looked at each other once again, but this time, they all had reached a final consensus through their eyes.

They didn't have to give up on loving music and they didn't have to spend money to invest. Plus, maybe in the future, they would make some good money. Where else could they find such a good deal?

These people had always been emotional and righteous. In their hearts, Yuan Datong was the real leader. So only when Yuan Datong had promised, would they follow suit.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Yuan Datong with a smile and decided that Yuan Datong would not reject the offer. He believed that this kind of good thing would not be rejected by anyone. It was neither stealing nor looting and instead, it used one's own ability to start a company to make money. Unless he was a fool, Yuan Datong had no reason not to agree.

Yuan Datong rolled his eyes around and his face was full of suspicion. Obviously, he was still sceptical about Zhang Xiaohua.

Although Yuan Datong and Zhang Xiaohua were good friends, Yuan Datong could not deny that the boy in front of him was a second-generation ancestor. Now that he actually wanted to start a company. How could Yuan Datong easily believe this?

Zhang Xiaohua gradually put a smile on his face. At the moment, his serious expression seemed to have explained everything.
