I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 166 You want me to dress up as a woman?!
This world is not lacking in geniuses. Sixteen- or seventeen-year-old lyricists and composers are not uncommon. In any case, you can find them all over the world, not to mention those from abroad.

But what surprised Chen Wei the most was that the girl in front of him was actually Lin Qiuyue's lyricist and composer, and her go-to lyricist at that.

This cannot be simply summarized by the word "genius".

"Let's talk as we walk, so Aunt Lin doesn't have to wait," Lu Nanqin said, gesturing for her to speak.

Her demeanor exudes a maturity and composure beyond her years.

“Okay.” Chen Wei walked ahead, and Lu Nanqin followed closely behind, walking alongside him.

"By the way, what works have you created?" Chen Wei asked curiously.

“Songstress, a lifetime of beauty, South, Snow City…” Lu Nanqin listed them one by one: “That’s about it.”

That's about it...

They account for fifty percent of Lin Qiuya's total number of songs.

No wonder Lu Nanqin dared to say that she was Lin Qiuyue's go-to lyricist and composer.

Of these songs, Chen Wei had only never heard one or two before.

He had a very high opinion of Lu Nanqin.

She perfectly discovered the strengths of Lin Qiuyue's voice and combined them with her creative work.

This is why Lin Qiuyue's songs are difficult to cover, because they were all tailor-made for her by Lu Nanqin.

"I've listened to your songs. You wrote the lyrics and music yourself, right?" Lu Nanqin confirmed.

"Yes," Chen Wei shamelessly admitted.

"I really admire your talent," Lu Nanqin said sincerely.

"You're very talented too," Chen Wei said truthfully, without intending to flatter Lu Nanqin.

Age aside, in Chen Wei's opinion, there are very few people in the entire songwriting and composing circle who can rival her.

“No.” Lu Nanqin shook her head gently and analyzed seriously, “I’ve calculated it. At my current rate of progress, it would be very difficult for me to even catch up with you, let alone surpass you, at your age.”

"Who can say for sure what the future holds?" Chen Wei always felt guilty.

"maybe."

The two stopped talking and had already arrived at the office.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Knock on the door, then go inside.

"Xiaowei, Nanqin, you're here." Lin Qiuyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect the two of them to arrive at the same time, and it seemed that they had a good relationship and got along well.

Song Yeon-ah was also present, and the two were having afternoon tea.

"Mom, Sister Yan," Chen Wei greeted.

"Xiaowei, Nanqin, come and sit down." Song Yan'er patted the empty seat next to her.

"Mom, you called me here, it can't be just because Miss Lu wants to see me, right?" Chen Wei could tell.

"It's true."

"What's wrong with your voice?" Chen Wei finally realized what was wrong.

If the voice is too soft, it's not very noticeable, but if it's a little louder, you can clearly hear that Lin Qiuyue's voice is a bit hoarse.

For ordinary people, these symptoms can be relieved in a couple of days with some medication, but for a singer, the problem is quite serious.

With the recent surge in popularity of "Left Finger Pointing to the Moon," Lin Qiuyue will undoubtedly have many performances.

"Overuse, plus a minor cold, that's how it is." Lin Qiuyue needed to speak less now, so Song Yan'er took over the explanation.

"Actually, the main reason we called you here today is to ask you to replace Aunt Lin," Song Yan'er said, getting straight to the point. "But I'm a boy..."

Chen Wei had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Aunt Lin told me that you sang 'Left Finger Pointing to the Moon' before, and your voice is almost identical to hers. With a slight modification, you should be able to pass it off as genuine," Song Yan'er said, offering her opinion.

"That's not right. Shouldn't the most important issue be that we don't look alike at all, and we're not even the same gender?"

Chen Wei couldn't understand why Song Yan'er and the others would overlook such an important issue.

"The stage makeup is very heavy, and with the lighting effects, you won't be able to tell the difference. Don't worry." Song Yan'er didn't think it was a problem at all.

"Wait! You don't mean you want me to dress up as a woman, do you?" Chen Wei interrupted Song Yan'er, one hand on his forehead and the other outstretched.

“That’s right,” Song Yan’er nodded.

"..." Chen Wei, "Isn't it wrong to deceive the audience like this?"

"To be honest, before this, Aunt Lin was actually in a slump. Thanks to the left hand pointing to the moon, we finally saw an upward trend. This is an opportunity, and an opportunity is only an opportunity if you seize it." Song Yan'er knew that deceiving the audience was wrong, but she had no other choice.

You always have to make choices.

“Those audience members have traveled from afar, some even from overseas. If we announce the concert is canceled now, they will be even more heartbroken, won’t they?” Song Yan’er tried to persuade Chen Wei.

Cross-dressing is indeed not an easy thing for most boys, let alone having to dress up in front of a large audience and perform.

This is a great test of a person's ability to withstand shame.

"Mom, this opportunity is very important to you, isn't it?" Chen Wei looked at Lin Qiuyue and asked to confirm.

Lin Qiuyue nodded.

"Ok."

"It still won't work... What? You agreed!" To be honest, Song Yan'er was already prepared to be rejected.

"Well, it's just the length of a song, and it's just performing in women's clothing. It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh, right?" Chen Wei comforted himself.

"puff"

Seeing Chen Wei's utterly hopeless expression, Lu Nanqin couldn't help but turn her head to the side and burst out laughing.

"Then let's get started right away. I'll take you to the changing room now," Song Yan'er said, standing up.

"Is it in such a hurry?" Chen Wei thought he had more time to prepare mentally.

"It'll be two hours before the show starts," Song Yan'er replied, lifting her sleeve and glancing at her watch.

Two hours...

This is completely forcing them into a situation!

Now that things have come to this, Chen Wei has no choice but to grit his teeth and keep going.

"Aunt Lin, let's go take a look together. I think he looks quite good in women's clothing."

Lu Nanqin held Lin Qiuyue's hand. They had a very good relationship. After all, she had been working with Lin Qiuyue since she was twelve years old, and it had been five years since then. She was practically like a daughter to her.

"Based on my years of experience, Xiao Wei will definitely be a stunning beauty when he dresses as a woman," Lin Qiuyue said in a very soft voice.

If this were outside, it would probably be easily drowned out by the noise of traffic.

The company was relatively quiet, so Lu Nanqin didn't have much trouble listening.

"Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, his face and his slim figure, it's true." Lu Nanqin suddenly said with a mischievous smile, "What if he's even prettier than Aunt Lin?"

"Silly girl, don't you know how old I am? Why would I care about these things?" Lin Qiuyue complained.

Lu Yurou and Li Yurou share the same name, so I've changed it to Lu Nanqin. Sorry. <(__)>
