Chapter 010: Cat Studio, where is the cat
Before Yang Qian arrived, he also made a phone call; otherwise, it would not have been impossible to be turned away at the door.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette turned around the corner, startling Yang Shihan
The red brick cultural and creative park appears to be quite small; upon entering, one can immediately see the entrance. Aside from the graffiti and the somewhat interesting vintage artworks, there is not much else to engage with. Naturally, even on weekends, this place still seems rather desolate.
Yang Qian stumbled and nearly fell
... ...
Yang Shihan rolled her eyes
Yang Qian, both amused and helpless, called out to his sister's lively figure.
It is not as messy as one might imagine; the chubby uncle should be a person who values cleanliness. The workspace and lounge outside the recording studio are both kept in perfect order, and there is not a speck of dust on the wooden floor of the workspace
Yang Qian adopted the demeanor of "a long elder brother is like a father"
Moreover, it is said that the equipment is quite good. Previously, during a celebratory event, there was a need to record a song, but the equipment at the venue did not yield satisfactory results. Consequently, several hosts went to that recording studio and utilized their equipment
Oh, there is actually a recording studio here? I had never heard of it when I came before
Moreover, the air conditioning was turned on in advance, and Yang Qian and the others did not feel the air was stale or that breathing was difficult upon entering
I still have short hair, which is very easy to manage
The little fox's tail is still exposed
However, during this holiday, Yang Qian did not stay at home reading or singing. His interactions with Xiang Tiange in Longliao Village led him to discover a new direction for his singing at this stage.
It cannot be said that it is entirely a suburb, as this area was once filled with factories, including cardboard factories, biscuit factories, canneries, and so on, which witnessed the rise and fall of the industrial prosperity of Hecheng in the past
Returning from Longliao Village, Yang Qian is on vacation again
He has other businesses as well; his wife runs a Western restaurant, and he often goes there to help out. Sometimes, he even plays the piano for the guests as a guest pianist
Yang Qian was also amused by her, and truly, he had no way to deal with this younger sister—now she rarely acted spoiled, but when she did, it was her trump card, and Yang Qian could no longer uphold his principles
However, Hecheng is not as prosperous as large cities, nor does it have as many foreign tourists as Yangcheng
The cat is at home, and no one is watching it here, so I took it back to raise it. Next time you come over, I will bring it along to play with you.
Yang Qian stood outside the red brick cultural and creative park, feeling a surge of emotions as he looked at the surrounding construction site. Meanwhile, Yang Shihan, who had gotten off the bus with him, blinked her excited big eyes and muttered to herself.
Not listening, not listening, Yang Qian is chanting the sutra
There is only this one sign on the second floor; if it weren't for the musical note symbol next to it, one would find it hard to imagine that this is a recording studio related to music
Yang Qian irritably reached out to ruffle his sister's hair
She is also teasing her brother, who told her that he mistakenly thought he was in a romantic relationship early on
It has been less than a year, and only two hundred thirty-nine days remain
As soon as Yang Qian finished speaking, Yang Shihan joyfully shouted and danced her way into her room
You, my friend, are unaware of such a place; how did you come to be here
What are you going to do with me? Don't you need to study anymore? Hanhhan, let me tell you, don't think that just because you ranked second you can be complacent and slack off. You still have a year until the college entrance examination
Yang Shihan believed that her brother had come to a realization, which made her very happy. Although she agreed with her brother's statement about honing his singing skills, young people are not accustomed to enduring loneliness. She still hoped that her brother could become famous, become an internet celebrity, and ultimately a big star
Alright, hurry up and change your clothes, I will take you to have a look
Yang Qian is actually not unaware of what a cultural and creative park is; a cultural and creative park located in an old factory area is quite a common practice in large cities, and Yang Qian has seen this in Yangcheng as well
Yang Shihan was unconcerned, her fingers brushed through her hair, which fell back into place, and she proudly ran ahead.
Yang Qian has nothing to hide from his sister; she often heard him practicing singing at home and knows that he has "written" quite a few beautiful songs
There are also such benefits to following Teacher Ouyang; their group does not have to rush to cover current news and can take holidays in accordance with the national schedule, thus they can rest normally on Sundays
Yang Shihan enthusiastically read the name on the sign
Yang Shihan immediately became interested upon hearing this
The frame is not fat, but the big belly protrudes, clearly a result of indulgence in tobacco and alcohol
Yes, I would like to record a few of my songs and see if I can upload them online later
There is usually not much business here; if there are no appointments, I only come by every few days to do some cleaning
The location of this recording studio is somewhat remote; it is not situated in the more bustling city center, but rather in the suburbs, surrounded by only a few newly constructed residential complexes that have not yet been fully developed.
Du Xun smiled apologetically at the girl who was still wearing her high school uniform
"Sister, you are becoming as nagging as Mom!"
However, working at the television station, one is most well-informed. Yang Qian attempted to inquire with his colleagues and was provided with both the address and the contact number.
The old factory building has been demolished and a residential community has been constructed. A large shopping mall is also under construction nearby, along with projects for primary and secondary schools.
Take your backpack with you, and you may not return until noon
Of course, Yang Qian's purpose this time was not to take photos for check-ins. After being dragged by his sister to take a selfie, he first stepped onto the external iron ladder of a small red brick building and ascended to the second floor
Due to its proximity to the city center, the development and expansion of the city have determined that these plots can no longer be reserved for industrial use
There is no way around it; the first day back to work after the National Day holiday is a Friday, and then there is an additional workday on Saturday. It just so happens that their round trip to Longliao Village took two days.
This uncle is a bit overweight
Go to a recording studio to have a look
Is there a cat studio here? Does it have many cats?
Yang Shihan did not regard her older brother as a father figure; instead, she corrected his poor mathematical calculations
In the past, Yang Qian merely passed by in a vehicle, seeing only desolation and bleakness. However, he estimates that in a few years, this area will become lively, even more so than when the factories were in operation.
I have been here before; I came here to play with my classmates! This place has a bit of an artistic vibe, a touch of freshness, and many spots for taking photos. You can also enjoy milk tea and coffee here
This girl has turned the tables, her eyes rolling playfully, and she chuckles mischievously
Yang Qian is changing his shoes
He previously had no idea that there were people operating recording studios in Hecheng, and he was not familiar with Xiangtian Ge either. They all thought that recording songs could only be done in Yangcheng.
There really is!
Who says I am a minor? I am already 17 years old
I told you that you can't just write songs without taking action! Hurry up and post it online, you might just become famous tomorrow!
Yang Shihan put on a pitiful expression
Du Xun opened the door for them while explaining to Yang Qian.
Brother, where are you going?
Is it Teacher Yang from the television station
Have you been here?
Not being eighteen means you are still a child, and furthermore, you should not drink so much milk tea, let alone coffee, as it is not good for your health
Yang Qian greeted the other party
Is this Du Xun, Brother Du?
I do not have many cats, just one.
But I have been studying for a long time, and I didn't go anywhere during the National Day holiday. I have been studying all the time, getting up early in the morning to read. Even the donkeys in the production team aren't this hard-working, right? One should at least balance work and rest; only by relaxing the mind can one better engage in a protracted battle, don't you think?
Yang Qian turned his head in surprise to look at his sister
Yang Shihan surprisingly focuses on this matter
Is the recording studio for recording songs
The stout man extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray behind him, freeing his hand to shake hands with Yang Qian
Because it was close to the school, Yang Shihan, who only had one day off, sat cross-legged on the sofa reading a book. Upon seeing Yang Qian dressed neatly and carrying his guitar bag, preparing to go out, she quickly got off the sofa and excitedly chased after him to the door
Where is the cat
Brother, I know many beautiful girls! Would you like me to introduce them to you after the college entrance examination?
Are you with classmates? Male or female
Just a moment ago, it was mentioned that there was a cat, specifically one cat, but upon entering, there was no cat for people to pet. This made Du Xun feel as though he was running a deceptive establishment, which left him feeling quite embarrassed
... ...
Not only the large cities, but also Hucheng is developing rapidly
No wonder the chubby man goes outside to smoke; he is quite a person of taste in life
Yang Qian's probing questions arrived as scheduled
Yang Shihan is introducing her brother.
No need, I do not have such a heavy taste, I prefer underage children
Hmph
Brother, shall I go with you to take a look?
