After Chu Tian finished speaking, Li Chunhua tapped the pen in her hand against the documents on the table and said with a smile, "If Boss Chu likes him that much, why not write a song for him?"

"Huh?"

Chu Tian looked at Li Chunhua in surprise, not understanding why she had suddenly come up with such an idea.

"What do you mean? I was already planning to write songs for him."

"You agreed?"

Li Chunhua had a whole slew of reasons ready to convince him, but she hadn't expected Chu Tian to agree the moment she started to speak.

No, it wasn't an agreement; it was something he had planned to do all along.

"Did you ask me to sign him just so you could write songs for him?"

"Well... how should I put it?"

Chu Tian didn't know how to explain at first. After organizing his thoughts, he said, "You could say that. I do have some ideas."

To be precise, he had lots of works, so many that he couldn't possibly use them all up.

Previously, he hadn't considered releasing them. Even with the system, he was quite indolent.

But now things were different. After getting together with Xu Qingqiu, he naturally had to consider her interests.

It was only right to offer some works to aid Xu Qingqiu's career development, especially since it posed no difficulty or cost to him.

But not all songs were suitable for Xu Qingqiu to sing.

However talented she was, she had only one voice. Those with chameleon-like vocal abilities were not unheard of, but they were exceedingly rare, and even then, they couldn't handle every single song.

Were the other works to just sit there, gathering dust?

In the past, Chu Tian might have let them, but now he had new ideas.

To rise in the industry, resources, works, financial power, and influence were all indispensable.

For resources, there were Sister Hua and Chu Tian's Unlimited Entertainment. Though not top-tier, they were definitely not shabby. They could undoubtedly boost her career without much difficulty.

As for works, with the system at his disposal, he could access any kind he wanted.

Influence was accumulated over time. Whether it was status within the industry or fame and audience reach, these things needed to be developed gradually.

That left financial power. Without money, everything became difficult.

But how would the money come? Solely from Xu Qingqiu's earnings as a singer? How much impact could one person make?

A financially strong backbone was indispensable, but Chu Tian couldn't possibly have her seek investment from outsiders to support her career.

As for his Unlimited Entertainment, a portion of its funds could be allocated. However, since they weren't married yet, even if he was willing, Xu Qingqiu would feel uncomfortable about it.

This would not be good for their relationship.

Most importantly, Unlimited Entertainment was still just a sapling at the time, not yet able to provide significant financial support to Xu Qingqiu.

Therefore, the immediate solution was to recruit more talent and see if they could be developed.

Once there were more money-making artists, Xu Qingqiu could also breathe easier.

When she reached the top, she could then give back to the newcomers, creating a positive cycle.

This was what Li Chunhua was continuously working on.

It was precisely because he understood her studio's development plan that Chu Tian had new ideas.

If they were going to cultivate new talents, why not develop some that he was optimistic about?

Take Li Guang, for example. In certain ways, he was very similar to an artist from Chu Tian's previous life, and any differences were trivial.

If that was the case, he might as well take the works that were suitable in his previous life and give them to Li Guang.

This way, he could cultivate new talents and help the studio generate revenue. He could also ensure that those excellent works didn't languish in obscurity, allowing them to shine as they deserved in this new world.

This was, indeed, a meaningful endeavor.

But this might mean Chu Tian wouldn't have it so easy anymore. The key issue was that he still held the position of music director. That wasn't good; there was too much to do.

Li Chunhua had no idea about these thoughts. In her view, a work, especially an outstanding one, was certainly very precious.

Who would want to give it away easily?

Moreover, giving it to an unknown newcomer was a risk; even seasoned pros would fear their creations being wasted by novices.

Yet, Chu Tian's easy agreement left her somewhat at a loss.

"What did you mean by 'some ideas'?"

What did it mean? What else could it mean? It simply meant he happened to have suitable pieces on hand; it was just a bit of extra work for him.

But he couldn't say it like that.

"It's like this," Chu Tian began. "For some time, I've felt his voice is quite unique and full of potential. I had a few flashes of inspiration just now, and since he's here, I might as well let him try out a piece."

After Chu Tian finished speaking, Li Chunhua's mind grew even more muddled.

"You mean to say you already have a piece?"

Chu Tian nodded. Now that the conversation had reached this point, he couldn't deny it.

"When did you write it? I see you every day..."

Every day doing what? Lounging around? Or being all lovey-dovey with Qingqiu?

It was fortunate that Li Chunhua didn't voice these thoughts; otherwise, Chu Tian would have definitely walked away on the spot. It would've been too insulting—he was very busy, after all.

"I wrote it just recently. An idea struck, and then I quickly penned it down."

God, 'quickly penned it down'? How does he do that? Teach me, will you?

Li Chunhua only thought these words to herself; she was too embarrassed to say them out loud.

But it would be untrue to say she wasn't envious. She was extremely so.

Who else writes songs as if it's child's play, just 'quickly penning them down'? How exactly does one do that?

"Um... how many songs have you written?"

"How many? How many... It depends!"

"Depends?!"

'It depends'?! What kind of answer is that? Doesn't he know how many songs he's written himself?

Chu Tian truly didn't know, because he wasn't sure how many there were. If Li Guang sang them well, there would be more; if they didn't fit or weren't up to par, there would be fewer.

However, faced with Li Chunhua's confusion, he still explained, "Don't worry about it. I need to see how Li Guang progresses. I'll start by giving him one song to test the waters. If it goes well, we'll gradually increase the number. There's no rush."

His explanation made some sense, and Li Chunhua believed him.

"That's true, it should be done that way. But how are the preparations for Qingqiu's new album coming along? Can you handle it?"

"What's so difficult to handle? I've got everything ready on her end. It won't cause any delays. Now it's all up to her."

Regarding Xu Qingqiu's new album, he had prepared everything a long time ago. But now, he had new ideas. He wanted to add a few Cantonese songs, which suddenly disrupted the original plan.

But that wasn't a big problem. If necessary, he'd just select some more when the time came. There were definitely enough songs—it was just a matter of deciding which ones to include.

He talked about it with such ease, but Li Chunhua didn't feel that way at all.

"Are these all just backstock? How many finished works do you have on hand?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Ever since his first song had appeared, and particularly after she discovered Chu Tian was 'Youmeng', she had never actually seen him compose.

Others often revised their songs again and again, but not him. Whenever a song was needed, he could always present the right one.

Just how extensive did one's backstock have to be to manage so effortlessly? Could his inventory of songs be a bottomless pit?
