Chapter 290 Pick-up
On November 11, two days after the creative team of "The Great Qin Dynasty" decided to use Bai Xingjian's "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" as the theme song of the movie.

The official account of "The Qin Dynasty" posted the following on Weibo:
[What would happen if Qin Shi Huang lived another 500 years? ]

It was a very short sentence, but it sparked discussions among countless netizens.

"Let the First Emperor live another 500 years? Then wouldn't everyone along the Mediterranean coast speak our Xishan dialect?"

"The whole world is speaking Xishan dialect! My charming ancestor!"

“Ugh, um, it’s all um!!!”

"Then there's no more spaghetti, just oil-splashed noodles!"

"Hahaha, Europeans don't use knives and forks to eat steak and bread anymore. They all use chopsticks to eat cold noodles and roujiamo!"

"Your Majesty would not let us learn English!"

"Mongolian horses galloping on Route 66!"

“The plugs for Android and Apple will be unified!”

The heated discussions among netizens pushed this topic directly to the top of the hot searches, and even professionals came out to analyze it.

The more heated the discussion on Weibo was, the colder Xu Qingfeng and Xu Weiwen felt.

"Could it be true that our song was not favored by He Xiang?"

Xu Weiwen stroked his chin, his tone quite annoyed: "Hasn't it been two or three days now? They have all had time to post on Weibo, why haven't they sent us any news? Are they deliberately messing with our mentality?"

"Alas, all I can say is tit for tat."

Xu Qingfeng sighed, with a bitter look between his brows: "He Xiang is not that kind of person. If he doesn't send us a message now, it probably means he doesn't want the song "Eternal" anymore."

He Xiang had agreed with them before that he would give them a result after the meeting.

As a result, they have not received any news from He Xiang until now.

what is the reason?
He Xiang had other options, and his stomach was sickened by their previous price-raising behavior.

"So the news circulating on Weibo is true?" Xu Weiwen asked.

Ever since the Weibo post released by the official team of "The Qin Dynasty" topped the hot search list, some rumors about the selection of the theme song have been circulating.

"Have you heard? The theme song for The Great Qin Dynasty has been decided. It's not 'Eternity' written by Xu Weiwen and Xu Qingfeng, but 'Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven' written by Bai Xingjian."

"?????"

"What the hell? Ask the Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years? Is this song title true or false?"

"I'm really impressed. Isn't 'Thousands of Years' better than 'Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven'?"

"Bai Xingjian is really cheesy. Why did he choose such a cliché song title?"

"Is this the value of the Singer of 2024? Why does it feel a bit ridiculous?"

"These people probably made up these song titles after reading the official Weibo post of The Qin Dynasty."

"Is it possible that the official team of The Qin Dynasty posted that Weibo post just because Bai Xingjian wrote the song "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven"?"

"It seems to be true. So, if that's the case, then 'Eternity' written by Xu Qingfeng and Xu Weiwen and 'Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven' written by Bai Xingjian are both true?"

"I understand, I understand. Bai Xingjian definitely got in through the backdoor. Otherwise, how could he have won against Xu Qingfeng and Xu Weiwen? I just checked it out. The Great Qin Dynasty is a movie produced by Yehua Entertainment. Isn't Bai Xingjian also from Yehua Entertainment? What do you call this? This is called keeping the wealth within the family!"

"Besides, aren't there some grievances between Shengchuan Entertainment and Yehua Entertainment? Xu Qingfeng was poached from Yehua Entertainment by Shengchuan Entertainment. It's normal that the song he and Xu Weiwen wrote was not used by The Great Qin Dynasty."

"That's hilarious. Let me tell you something realistic. The original budget for the theme song of The Qin Dynasty was 10 million, and the creative team was very satisfied with the song "Eternal" written by Xu Qingfeng and Xu Weiwen. But the other party raised the price by 5 million. They dared to sell a song for 15 million. Whoever buys a song at this price will be blamed, right?"

"Oh my god, is writing songs so profitable?"

"I understand, I understand. Bai Xingjian's "Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" is more practical than Xu Qingfeng and Xu Weiwen's "Eternity"!"

Although these are just rumors, as more and more people come forward with the information, it seems to be more and more true.

"Who cares whether the news on Weibo is true or not? Just let these people talk as much as they want. No matter how much they say, it won't have any impact on us."

Xu Qingfeng smiled helplessly. This was the only way he could comfort himself now.

Xu Weiwen's eyes were dim. "Alas, what a pity! Our song 'Eternal' could easily win the title of the theme song for 'The Qin Dynasty'. Why did Yan Qingxiang insist on raising the price?"

……

Three poles in the sun.

The dazzling sunlight woke Bai Xingjian from his sleep. He turned over, opened his eyes slightly, and then supported his heavy head and struggled to get up from the bed.

The hangover feeling was a bit uncomfortable.

Last night, Bai Xingjian didn't know how much wine he, Feng Shiqi, Mei Jie and Zheng Wei drank at the table. He only knew that when they left the table, the wine Zheng Wei brought was almost finished and it was already early morning.

"what time is it?"

Bai Xingjian muttered sleepily, picked up his phone and saw that it was almost half past twelve noon.

"Oh my god! It's so late?"

Bai Xingjian suddenly became much more energetic and got off the soft big bed.

Galaxy Girl will be coming back from Coria today. The flight will go directly to Linjiang at 2:30 pm. I agreed to pick her up at the airport.

As a result, it’s already half past twelve, and I haven’t gotten out of bed or eaten yet. I don’t know if I can make it in time.

Thinking of this, Bai Xingjian moved much faster, dragging his drunken body straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

In less than ten minutes, Bai Xingjian came out looking refreshed.

He didn't look like a hungover man at all.

When he came to the living room, he couldn't help but cover his face when he saw the messy dining table and the surrounding area.

There were wine bottles of various styles scattered on the ground.

Big, small, red, green, blue, in glass bottles, cans...

How come these four can drink so much?

Bai Xingjian sighed softly and started recycling.

It took about half an hour to clean the dining table, but the price was several full garbage bags in the kitchen.

After doing all this, Bai Xingjian came to Feng Shiqi's room.

The door was not locked. When I opened it, a faint fragrance accompanied by the smell of alcohol hit me in the face.

In the dim room, the curtains were tightly drawn, and a graceful body was lying casually on the big bed, covered with a thin blanket.

Bai Xingjian came to the window, quickly pulled open the curtains and pushed open the window.

The sunlight rushed in and filled the room.

The gentle breeze also gently dissipated the smell of alcohol in the room.

"Get up and eat..."

Halfway through his words, Bai Xingjian suddenly got stuck.

The room was dim just now, blocking much of the view.

But now it is completely different, and many things are clearly visible. The person on the bed has long hair, half of her face is covered by hair, revealing half of her smooth and tender face. Her eyes are slightly closed, her eyelashes are long and curved, and her red lips are like peach blossoms covered with dew, crystal clear and moist.

Even though she was covered with a thin blanket, her curvy figure still attracted people's attention.

Delicate collarbones and round, white shoulders.

And that chest that seemed unusually full even when lying down, like a full moon, rising and falling with her breathing.

Further down, there is a slender waist that suddenly narrows, and then gradually turns back at the hips, beginning to outline a charming curve.

Due to the obstruction of the thin blanket, the pair of tight and slender legs could not be seen, but the pair of snow-white jade feet were exposed to the air through the thin blanket.

It is spotlessly white, like a lotus blossoming in the black soil, pure, beautiful and dazzling.

Bai Xingjian looked at it in a daze, and the scenes from last night began to flash back in his mind.

I remember now, I remember everything.

Last night, the four of them were chatting at the dinner table and the topic came to him and Feng Shiqi's official announcement.

Actually, this was nothing, and Zheng Wei was very happy about it. She said that they could make the official announcement at any time, there was no time limit.

Then, at Meijie's suggestion, they started playing Truth or Dare.

Maybe it was Mei Jie's interference, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi lost miserably.

They hugged each other, lifted each other up, kissed each other, drank from the wedding cup, and did everything.

In the end, there was even mouth-to-mouth feeding of wine.

The scene was unusually ambiguous and noisy.

Later, Feng Shiqi realized that he was being tricked, so he fought back naturally. He killed one thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of his own, and stunned Mei Jie and Zheng Wei.

Hence the current situation.

Recalling this, Bai Xingjian burst out laughing, then slapped the bulge on the blanket viciously.

Drink, I let you drink, and you drink so crazy.

A crisp sound was heard in the quiet room.

"Yeah~"

Feng Shiqi was awakened by the slap in her face. She felt a burning pain in her buttocks, and then she looked at Bai Xingjian with a dazed look and a blushing face:

"Hey, Jian, what are you doing?"

"What do you think we should do today? What time is it now?" Bai Xingjian stood by the window, looking down at her.

At this moment, he finally felt what it felt like to be the master of his own destiny.

"Ah! We agreed to pick up Tang Tang and the others!"

Feng Shiqi screamed and sat up from the bed, with her shoulder blades half exposed. The scene looked like a crime scene:
"What time is it? What time is it?"

"It's almost time."

"It's so late? Then Jian, please wait a moment. I'll go call Sister Wei and Xiaomei."

Feng Shiqi didn't even tidy up her clothes. She shook her long and tight white legs and pushed Bai Xingjian out of the room. Then she went to call Zheng Wei and Mei Jie to get up.

By the time everything was done, it was almost two o'clock.

……

A black Audi S8 was speeding on the highway.

Like a black lightning bolt.

That’s right, Bai Xingjian bought a new car.

Compared with the previous 8 yuan commuter car, this S, which costs more than million yuan, is so comfortable to drive.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that I could drink so much last night. Today, I have to let you, Xingjian, be our driver."

Behind the right side of the driver's seat, Zheng Wei said with a smile.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. It clearly shouldn't be like this, but she ended up being drunk by Feng Shiqi last night.

Maybe it was because I was getting along so well with them that I lost my guard?
Otherwise she would never be so lax.

Bai Xingjian laughed loudly, "Why should I be embarrassed? Sister Wei drove us for such a long time before, so what's wrong with me being your driver this time?"

"Besides, I bought the car with the intention of driving it myself. Even if you, Zheng Wei, weren't drunk, I didn't intend to let you drive."

Bai Xingjian spoke slowly, his eyes looking straight ahead. Although the car's speed had reached about 130, he was still driving with ease.

He sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, a million-level car drives differently."

Bai Xingjian's eyes would occasionally drift towards Feng Shiqi who was sitting in the passenger seat. She was wearing a striped knitted sweater, high-waisted jeans, and high-top canvas shoes, which made her legs look long and slender.

Originally, Feng Shiqi planned to drive when they set out, as she had been quite addicted to driving recently.

But considering that she drank so much last night, Bai Xingjian naturally refused it sternly.

So Feng Shiqi is now sitting in the passenger seat, playing with his mobile phone, acting as the liaison between them and the Galaxy Girl.

Falling into silence in the car, Feng Shiqi smiled softly and then said, "Tang Tang and her friends' flight is delayed by 30 minutes. We should be able to get to the airport before they land."

Bai Xingjian's new home is quite far from the airport. It takes about fifty minutes to navigate to the airport. They left at around two o'clock. If the flight took off on time, Tang Tang and the others would land at half past two, and Bai Xingjian and his group would not be able to catch up.

But from the current perspective, there seems to be some reversal.

"That's good, then."

Bai Xingjian smiled, and then, under Feng Shiqi's urging, slowed down the car.

In fact, it didn't drop that much, it was hovering between 110 and 120.

The main reason is that there is no traffic jam on this section of highway, otherwise Bai Xingjian would not dare to increase the speed to over 100.

It’s been a blast all the way.

When the time came to 2:45, Bai Xingjian and his group got out of the car in the airport parking lot.

Since Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's popularity has reached a rather frightening level, they were fully armed before getting off the car.

The fisherman's hat, sunglasses and black masks covered their faces tightly.

Although this kind of dress looks different from ordinary people at the airport, especially when it is a combination of a man and a woman, it is better than exposing your face to the outside.

"Let's go, let's go~"

After Bai Xingjian locked the car, Feng Shiqi naturally took his arm and walked side by side with him.

After what happened last night, she wasn't embarrassed about it anymore.

Zheng Wei and Mei Jie were a few steps behind them, both with auntie smiles on their faces.

The passers-by around looked at them with curious eyes.
