After months of hard work and tireless study, the Solar Band has the basic ability to set foot in the music scene.
And today is the day to officially push them into the spotlight.
Behind the scenes of the press conference, the members of the Solar Band gathered together. Chu Yi, Ruan Huixian, Dai Qingrou, Jiang Lei, and Sun Yuze, all five of them had mixed feelings.
Chu Yi was extremely excited. Pursuing music was one of the few major life decisions she had made for herself, and it represented her growth.
The other four members of the band looked at each other, feeling like they were in a dream: "We're debuting just like that?"
Many underground music groups wander around, hoping to sign with a brokerage company and embark on the road of music. They endure countless hardships, but remain unknown, their musical dreams extinguished, and the groups disband. Yet, they have embarked on this path so easily.
Now that they think about it, the past few months have been so dreamlike.
The Solar Band became the center of the brokerage company, with the entire company focusing on creating their image and taking care of them meticulously.
"We all have to thank Yi Yi."
"Yeah, Yi Yi is our greatest contributor."
"Hehe..." Chu Yi grinned, "It's Chu Lao Er's credit, it has nothing to do with me."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Chu Lao Er, Qiong Qiong."
They saw Chu Fang and Zhou Qiong coming from afar, surrounded by a group of senior executives from the brokerage company.
"Why are you here?"
Chu Fang rolled his eyes: "We're here to clean up your mess!"
What a pointless question!
Of course, they were here to support Chu Yi's dreams and career.
Chu Yi held Zhou Qiong's arm, and the latter smoothed the former's hair, her eyes full of affection.
The relationship between the two was very special, both close friends and sisters, and a 'mother-daughter' relationship, with Zhou Qiong taking care of Chu Yi like a mother.
The other four members of the Solar Band also came over and greeted Chu Fang: "President Chu."
Chu Fang nodded.
Before long, the press conference was about to begin. The Solar Band's agent looked at Chu Fang, waiting for his approval. The latter said to Chu Yi: "Okay, it's time for you to go on stage. Are you nervous?"
Chu Yi took a deep breath: "I'm not nervous."
Chu Fang: "..."
You're so stubborn.
Then, the agent led the five members of the Solar Band onto the stage, and the host began to introduce the five members of the Solar Band one by one, describing the Solar Band as a rising star in the music world.
Chu Fang looked at his little sister on the stage, with her red lips and white teeth, wearing light makeup, like a faint and elegant flower blooming unintentionally in the morning light.
Hearing the host call her name, Chu Yi suppressed her nervousness and wore a gentle smile on her face: "Hello everyone, I am Chu Yi, the lead singer of the Solar Band. I hope..."
Seeing Chu Yi introducing her identity, background, and how she became involved with music, speaking rhythmically, steadily, and gently, Chu Fang breathed a sigh of relief: "Hoo..."
"My little sister has finally grown up."
The rebellious girl from back then has now shed her rebellious spirit and become an independent young woman.
"That's great."
Chu Fang looked at Chu Yi on the stage and said softly: "President Han."
"President Chu, what are your instructions?" The brokerage company's President Han perked up.
"Chu Yi's entry into the music scene is purely to pursue her musical dreams. I also hope that she can remain pure and not be too involved in the music scene, or even the so-called dirty things of the entertainment industry."
"If there are bad people approaching Chu Yi, I hope you can help deal with them. If you can't handle it, tell me, and I'll take care of it."
"My little sister is a sophomore this year, very young, straightforward, and doesn't understand social affairs. If she offends someone or does something wrong, I hope you can forgive her..."
From today onwards, Chu Yi will begin to break away from Chu Fang's control. As her older brother, he naturally has to pave the way for her future.
"President Chu, please rest assured, we will naturally protect your sister and the Solar Band. I believe they can become rising stars in the music world." President Han promised with a serious expression.
Even if Chu Fang didn't say it, President Han would still treat them seriously.
The biggest boss of the brokerage company issued a death order: even if the company doesn't make money, they must support the Solar Band and let Chu Yi have fun.
And if Chu Yi has fun, the brokerage company has a reason to exist.
If anything happens to Chu Yi, the entire brokerage company will be held responsible.
It can be said that the lives of all the company's staff are hanging on Chu Yi.
"Thank you." Chu Fang nodded.
Soon, the band's debut press conference ended, and many media people left. Chu Yi jumped off the stage.
Chu Fang said: "You're almost a star, pay attention to your image. If you fall and get photographed, it will become your dark history in the future."
"That's not a dark history, it's the path I came from."
Chu Fang: "... It's quite awkward."
Chu Yi held Chu Fang's arm: "Chu Lao Er, let's take a photo."
"No."
"Don't be ungrateful. When I become a household name, my photos will be rare treasures. Then, you'll have to look at my face to take a photo." Chu Yi retorted.
"No." Chu Fang still refused.
"Yes!" Then, Chu Yi pulled Chu Fang and Zhou Qiong, and the three of them took a group photo.
After the press conference, the members of the Solar Band had to start learning and training again. To become a famous musician, you need not only a background but also your own strength.
Chu Fang and Zhou Qiong then left the brokerage company.
"Qiong Qiong, when does your school start?" he asked.
"Early next month," Zhou Qiong replied.
"I'll transfer the tuition fee to you."
Zhou Qiong shook her head: "Brother, no need. I worked part-time during the summer vacation, and I have enough money to pay the tuition fee."
"Okay." Chu Fang nodded.
Zhou Qiong is a very independent girl with her own ideas and concepts, and he fully respects Zhou Qiong's thoughts.
"But don't forget, I'm your brother." Chu Fang touched Zhou Qiong's head.
Zhou Qiong smiled and nodded emphatically: "I know."
Then, Chu Fang drove Zhou Qiong back to Zhonghai Mingyuan. Just after leaving the residential area, he received a call from Chu's mother.
He pulled the car to the side of the road and answered the phone: "Hello, Mom, what's the matter?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Chu's mother's voice was full of resentment. "You unfilial son, bewitched by a vixen, you don't call me, and when I take the initiative to call you, you actually ask me what's the matter?"
"Of course there's something, a big deal. Your mother exploded!"
Chu Fang: "..."
He kept silent, letting Chu's mother scold him. The latter asked: "Why aren't you talking?"
"You're right, I've realized my mistake," Chu Fang nodded.
"Did I allow you to speak?"
Chu Fang: "..."
Chu's mother said a lot, and when she was dry, she remembered that she had important business to call, and then said: "One of your cousins and his wife are going to Modu for tourism, you receive them."
"Where did I get cousins?" Chu Fang asked.
Chu Fang's maternal grandfather and grandmother only had one child, Chu's mother.
Chu's mother said: "His grandfather and your maternal grandfather are brothers."
Chu Fang then understood.
Because Chu Fang's maternal grandfather and grandmother were biased towards Chu's mother, Chu Fang did not get affection from the two elders, so he didn't know much about the relationship on Chu's mother's side.
"Okay, I got it," Chu Fang nodded.
"They have a child, less than one year old, who can't speak yet, a family of three."
"I understand."
Chu Fang got the cousin's WeChat from Chu's mother, and then added the contact information and asked them where they were now. The cousin replied that they were about to arrive at the train station.
Chu Fang turned the car around and went to Modu Railway Station.
