Chapter 035: Meeting Xiao Lao for the First Time
"Is Tong Mo coming? Let her come in quickly." When Tong Mo was nervous and nervous, the voice of an elder came from the room. The voice was thick and magnetic. Although it had some traces of time, it still sounded very comfortable. No wonder, for a singer, the voice is their most precious thing, and people like Mr. Xiao who love music are naturally even more so.
"Let's go." Seeing Tong Mo still standing there, Xiao Yuandong smiled warmly at her. This smile, with the power to break the ice, immediately relaxed Tong Mo, and gave him a smile, and then stepped in.
After entering the hall, Tong Mo was shocked again. The hall was decorated very gorgeously, exuding a strong aroma of books and a strong musical atmosphere. Looking around, being in it would make people feel insignificant.
Mr. Xiao was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the hall. The first time I really saw Mr. Xiao, Tong Mo, was so excited. If time went back four or five years, she would definitely pounce on her like other crazy fans. However, the mature Tong Mo learned to be calm at this moment. However, although she was calm on the surface, she still couldn't help but feel excited in her heart.
It has been five years since Mr. Xiao stepped down from the front of the stage to the backstage as a boss. Although he has disappeared on the screen for five years, his influence has not diminished at all, and the style he carries has not diminished. From his face and his entire mental state, he can't tell that he is an old man who is over 60 years old.
"Hello, Teacher Xiao." The first time I saw her childhood idol Tong Mo still seemed nervous, afraid that she would blame her if she didn't have any etiquette.
"Teacher Xiao, I'm just an old man. I'm very happy if you can come. Don't be so polite. Come on, Tong Mo, sit down." What made Tong Mo completely unbelievable was that Mr. Xiao was so casual and kind.
"Okay." Seeing Mr. Xiao so easy-going, Tong Mo's nervousness was slightly reduced, and then he sat down on the sofa.
"What do you like to eat? Tea or coffee?" Tong Mo just sat down and asked her.
"Everything is OK." Tong Mo smiled faintly, and he never expected that Mr. Xiao would be so amiable.
"Alan, go and make tea for Miss Tong." Then Mr. Xiao ordered the servant.
"I have heard your songs, it's good. It's hard for young people to find a singer with connotation like you. I appreciate this." Old Xiao smiled very well, generously and directly expressed his inner thoughts.
"Thank you, it is my honor to be able to get Mr. Xiao." Tong Mo was so excited to hear Mr. Xiao say this in person.
"This is your strength. A singer who speaks with strength will naturally be recognized by everyone, and of course I am no exception." Old Xiao still smiled kindly.
Maybe it is Xiao Lao, Tong Mo's idol since childhood, or maybe both of them love music, but now I really like Tong Mo more and more when I see him, Tong Mo, and I feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Tong Mo was a little embarrassed about what Mr. Xiao said just now, but he smiled humbly and didn't say anything else.
"To be honest, I have seen the shadow of my youth in you. The love and persistence for music. I always believe that music has a soul, not all singers can show this soul. For music, I am almost crazy and devoted my entire life to the music career.
I got married at the age of 30 and had the Far East at the age of 38. The Xiao family is the only one. Not to mention that he will show up on the stage like me. I dreamed that he could inherit my record company, but this brat insisted on fighting against me and insisted on being a bullshit architect. I was really angry with this brat to death!”
When it comes to Xiao Yuandong, Mr. Xiao was so angry that he was unfair to this, and Xiao Yuandong felt even more unfair. He was unwilling to take over his record company. It seemed that he was an unforgivable death penalty for Mr. Xiao. Every time he came back, he would scold him hard when he mentioned this matter.
At this moment, Tong Mo also understood Xiao Yuandong's suffering at this moment. For a person who is obsessed with music, he is indeed a little stubborn about children. After hearing what Xiao said, Tong Mo hurriedly said to Xiao Yuandong: "Old Xiao, you are wronged by Far East. Everyone has their own ambitions. There is nothing wrong with Far East. And as an architect, he is really outstanding, you should be proud of him."
Before she knew it, Tong Mo did not even observe that she actually called the "Far East", and it sounded very natural and comfortable, without any abruptness.
Xiao Yuandong was also surprised by Tong Mo's words, with a faint curl and a faint smile.
"Boy, let you go today for the sake of Tong Mo's words for you. If you don't want to inherit the Xiao family's property, I won't recognize you as your son!" Mr. Xiao was still angry when he said this.
"Dad, this is the first time Tong Mo is here, why do you say this?" Xiao Yuandong's ears were almost heard of calling out for asking him to inherit the Xiao family's property.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, the little brat is not old and has a bad temper. I will settle the score with you when Tong Mo leaves." Old Xiao said threateningly to Xiao Yuandong.
When Tong Mo saw this father and son, he was still warm in his heart, and he could still clearly feel the fatherly love that Mr. Xiao had for Xiao Yuandong, which made Tong Mo envious. At this moment, Tong Mo thought of his father again.
After scolding Xiao Yuandong, Mr. Xiao looked at Tong Mo again, with a kind smile on his face increasing and said, "Since I left the entertainment industry, I have been very dull here. This brat doesn't come back often. I just grow flowers and raise fish at home. It's rare that you come here today, which makes me feel much more energetic. If you don't mind the old man, I'm a long-winded man, and I often come to sit when I have time. Let's talk about music and exchanges. I have no common language at all, and he will only make me angry when he comes."
When Tong Mo smiled when she heard this, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuandong again. Xiao Yuandong was really innocent. Old Xiao seemed to be scolding him in three words.
"Okay, I naturally want to discuss music with Mr. Xiao." Tong Mo was naturally very happy when he heard Mr. Xiao say this.
"Haha, Tong Mo, it's rare for us to be so close. We think it's a meeting gift. I'll write a single for you in a few days. Don't dislike you." It's really rare to find a soulmate. Mr. Xiao himself thinks that he loves music more than his family, and he is naturally happy to find a confidant in music.
"You want to write a song to give it to me?" Tong Mo was so excited when he heard this. Mr. Xiao's status in the music industry was unmatched. Most of the songs he wrote were included in the album. In addition, he wrote songs for some of his friends and wrote songs for his younger generations. Tong Mo was the first one. Tong Mo was naturally flattered.
"Yes, but times have different times. I'm all clichés, and you have to be good at it." Old Xiao said with a smile.
"How could it be? How many people can't ask for it, and I'm too happy to have such an honor. How dare I look down on you? Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao." Tong Mo was so excited. Xiao Yuandong was naturally happy when he heard this. He knew the temper of his father best. No matter who it was, he would never save face with anyone as long as he didn't like it. This time he said he wanted to see Tong Mo and Xiao Yuandong, but he was really worried, for fear that this strange old man would embarrass Tong Mo. Who knew that the two of them would be so speculative.
"You don't have to be so polite to me. Although I have faded out of the music industry for many years and I am old, there are still aftershocks in the entertainment industry. Young people should make a good start and don't be timid. So, do whatever you want now, feel free to do it boldly. With my support, no one dares to touch you in the entertainment industry." Mr. Xiao said this very domineeringly.
Tong Mo and Xiao Yuandong were both shocked. They did not expect that Old Xiao would say this. After all, this was the first time Old Xiao saw Tong Mo. But he was naturally happy to say that. It seemed that his worries were completely over-thinking.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao, I am just a newcomer, how can I get your favor?" Tong Mo was really overjoyed and couldn't bear it.
"Oh, as long as I like, I am willing, no one dares to say anything. You can make me appreciate it, and you can make me like it. This is your ability. No need to thank me. Your achievements today are what you have worked hard to achieve. It has nothing to do with me. Now I can only add shamelessness to the cake." Mr. Xiao is indeed a very open-minded and casual person, with a really cute personality.
"Master." At this time, an elder who looked like a housekeeper walked in and said respectfully, "You see what the company recruits..."
"Oh, I didn't see that I have guests now." Old Xiao seemed very upset when he heard the butler say this. After saying that, he pointed at Xiao Yuandong and said, "Leave this matter to Xiao Yuandong, don't bother me again."
"Dad, I'm very...
"No matter how busy you are, you have to do this for me, otherwise don't blame me for turning against you!" Xiao Yuandong has always disliked dealing with Mr. Xiao's company, but every time Mr. Xiao always forced him to do so. This time, he said to Xiao Yuandong and looked at the butler and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, go on."
The butler didn't dare to say anything, so he could only lower his head and retreat. After the butler left, Old Xiao smiled at Tong Mo and said, "Tong Mo, stay here tonight for dinner."
Stay for dinner tonight?
This Tong Mo naturally wanted to ask for it, but she still had Ru Xi, and Aunt Feng also took care of picking her up and dropping her off from school. What if she was having dinner outside?
"Dad, Tong Mo will still have it later..."
"Far East, it's okay. Ru Xi, I'll ask Aunt Feng to take it for a while." When Mr. Xiao said this, Xiao Yuandong thought of Ru Xi at the first time. When Tong Mo heard that he wanted to say it, he interrupted it. It was rare to come over. It was also obvious that Mr. Xiao was used to being lonely alone, but Tong Mo didn't want to sweep away Mr. Xiao's excitement during just one meal.
"What's wrong? It's inconvenient for Tong Mo tonight?" Old Xiao hurriedly asked when he saw this.
"No." Tong Moyang smiled, and seeing that she agreed, Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yuandong were actually quite happy.
