Chapter 28
Tianxiang Records finally agreed to increase the share, after achieving platinum records, to 14% (on this basis, the share of singles is weighted), and no more than that, because they also must consider Chen Yijie, since he had already taken the initiative to lower his share to 15%, and it was impossible to make a top-tier singer be “aggrieved” .

Although Little Fatty Guo still felt dissatisfied, Yang Yi did not let him be entangled anymore and signed the revised contract . However, he didn’t use his real name and since he was used to walking the river and lake with a trumpet1, he gave himself a “stage name”!
“Mu Li’ang”, is actually is Li Ang, the harmonics of “Leon”, and can also be regarded as recalling his own past life!
After the contract was signed, Chen Yijie, the big star singer, finally breathed a sigh of relief . He didn’t look that dull anymore and excitedly hugged the piano score that Yang Yi had rearranged for him . The song was more suitable for piano accompaniment . Then, he rushed back to Hong Kong to test it!
“It’s a big loss, a big loss!” Guo Ziyi has been repeatedly saying those words . “This is a gambling agreement, and it may not be possible! If there’s no platinum records, we will not have nothing to eat . ”
This made it seemed that Guo Ziyi cared more than Yang Yi himself!
“To be a man, one must not forget his origin . ” Yang Yi simply explained to Guo Ziyi, “Moreover, the other party also expressed their sincerity, and we do not need to take all advantages . Let’s stay on the line and meet each other in the future2 . ”
This truth, Yang Yi had personally experienced it in his previous life .
On one occasion, during a covert assassination mission in Iraq, he was discovered by a civilian child . But he didn’t have the heart to remove this threat and let the child go .
Two days later, when he finished his mission and was retreating, he was blocked by mysterious armed forces, and the other side even used a rocket launcher! He was seriously injured and was almost in a desperate situation .
However, he didn’t imagine that the child he had let go magically appeared and took him out to a tunnel to escape .

After experiencing this incident, he not only understood this truth, but also felt the warmth of human feelings . Gradually, he no longer adapted to the identity of an assassin, and later fled the organization .
But the truth is the same, a person should not be too greedy, and give others some room to move, and this will also make it convenient for future cooperation .
Yang Yi’s light words, however, greatly shocked Guo Ziyi . Especially that sentence has never appeared in this world, “Be a man to stay in the line, meet each other in the future”, as if it were a proverb, making people can’t help but have a long aftertaste .
He felt that he could not understand this big brother more and more!
Thinking back carefully, Guo Ziyi’s first impression of Yang Yi was that he was a fierce man!
A super tough man who can kick a wild boar to death!
This impression was very profound . After all, Yang Yi’s appearance is there, and Guo Ziyi could only stand there in awe .
Then, Guo Ziyi brazenly came over in Yang Yi’s house, and his impression of Yang Yi changed a little bit .
A chef who can make the best food!
Fortunately, Yang Yi didn’t know that this guy thought of himself as a cook with a thick neck and a big head . If he knew, he would already cut him off!
But now, Yang Yi has once again subverted Guo Ziyi’s understanding . This big man can not only write songs, but also speak such a profound truth!

Now, Yang Yi seems to have become a mixture of a fierce men, chefs, artists and life mentors . Thinking about it, Guo Ziyi felt that it was amazing .
Guo Ziyi held it back for a day, and it was not until the evening that he could not help asking, “Brother Yang, what kind of person are you?”
Yang Yi frowned and concealed his killing intent in his heart . He asked, “Why do you ask?”
This was a dangerous question! Did he see something? Yang Yi has enjoyed several days of peaceful life, and he does not want it to be taken away! If someone jumps out, Yang Yi will mercilessly make him die without any burial ground .
Guo Ziyi didn’t notice anything wrong . He said curiously and excitedly, “Because you are amazing . Not only are your martial arts good, but you can also write songs! Yesterday, you actually hid your hand . You obviously have such a good song, but you didn’t play it for me…”
This guy, once he expressed his curiosity, could go on and on for a while, and at some point, will talk about other topic .
Yang Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief . Fortunately, things didn’t go bad . Otherwise, he might have to struggle with whether or not to give the little fatty a hard hand!
Although he is very noisy, but Yang Yi does not have a bad impression of this little fatty . He very much appreciates this talented person who has his own personality!
“Therefore, I am very curious what kind of person you used to be?” Guo Ziyi finally turned the topic back, but immediately couldn’t help saying, “For example, I’ve been smart since I was a child and learned everything quickly . When I was five years old, my family hired a tutor for me to learn the piano…”
Yang Yi helplessly picked his own ear and take advantage of this time to organize what kind of excuse he should say…
Finally, Guo Ziyi dryly drank a large glass of water, blinked his clever round eyes, and puzzledly said, “Big brother Yang, why don’t you speak? You don’t want to talk about it? It doesn’t matter . Everyone has a past they don’t want to talk about!”

What the hell! Who said he didn’t want to? It was clear that he couldn’t interject at all .
Yang Yi couldn’t help rolling his eyes . He was too lazy to argue, but said faintly, “I used to be a soldier . ”
“Oh! I know!” Guo Ziyi cut in immediately, and he said excitedly, “You must be a legendary special force soldier, a king of soldiers, who rides alone and travel thousands of miles, and take the first rank among the ten thousand troops!”
Seeing Yang Yi’s fierce look, Guo Ziyi laughed dryly and said, “Big brother Yang, continue on what you were saying . ”
“After retirement, I’ve done everything, entertainment, hotels, bars, nightclubs…” Yang Yi didn’t care and briefly introduced his experience over the years .
“I see!” Guo Ziyi could not help himself . He patted his thighs and said with a look of respect, “Big brother Yang, it is precisely because of your endurance for humiliation over the years that you have secretly learned so many powerful skills that you have your current achievements!”
Well, Yang Yi really wanted to use this excuse, but he’s not sure if anyone else will buy it . However, now Guo Ziyi has made up his own mind…
Yang Yi was glad that it succeeded . This also save the trouble of explanation .
“Um, that’s true!” Yang Yi nodded quietly .
“Big brother Yang, you’re too fierce! You’re simply my idol, please accept my respect!” Guo Ziyi knelt down on the sofa and really bowed down .
Yang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, and he remembered the scene of this guy recognizing his idols everywhere .
Guo Ziyi ran over, held the guitar and respectfully handed it to Yang Yi . “Big brother Yang, can you sing “Long Time No See” to me again? I really can’t tell the quality of this song at all because of that poor sound quality!”
Yang Yi held the guitar and thought for a while . He suddenly opened his mouth, “I’ll sing you another song I wrote! Didn’t you ask me what I used to be? I think you may be able to find out the answer better through this song . ”
“Good!” Guo Ziyi sat down with an expectant look on his face and was ready to listen .
Without a prelude, Yang Yi plucked the guitar strings at will and began to sing directly .
“Dreams of grandeur and heroism, to see the splendor of the world…”
Yang Yi’s low voice, coupled with his feelings about the vicissitudes of life over the years, made Guo Ziyi’s scalp felt numb when he sang the first lines of the lyrics!
“The fantasies of a youthful soul, now you wander the ends of the earth…”
The little fatty could not understand the vagrancy of wandering in a foreign land and the desire for pursuing of one’s dreams, but he felt his heart tremble violently when he was stirred by the song .
It’s like shouting on the roof, or watching cars coming and going on an overpass, or thinking about a distant place when traveling on a train .
Even before he had finished listening, the little fatty was already fascinated by the melody and the lyrics .
