Chapter 131 Joining Hands

Summoning her courage, Shen Qing confronted the past and finished recounting the matters Wei Hongsi cared about. Looking up, she met his somewhat intense gaze and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "I hope these things are actually useful for your research!"

"Of course!" Wei Hongsi nodded and then introduced her to the "cognitive reconstruction method" and "emotional reshaping method" used to treat "psychological viruses".

To make it understandable to Shen Qing, Wei Hongsi avoided using technical jargon that was difficult for laypeople to comprehend, instead using common everyday objects as analogies to make his explanations as easy to understand as possible.

After listening, Shen Qing said with great interest, "Your research sounds very interesting. Can music really heal 'psychological viruses'?"

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "Aren't you the best example?"

Shen Qing blinked: "Then can I participate in your research?"

"Of course! I couldn't be happier!" Wei Hongsi was overjoyed.

He explained these details to Shen Qing in preparation for inviting her to join the research project, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask him to.

Wei Hongsi had this idea before when Shen Qing recorded eight musical phrases with different emotions for him. However, at that time, he only wanted a musical talent; anyone who could meet the requirements was fine with him.

The situation is completely different now.

Shen Qing's self-cognition reconstruction mechanism and musical emotion reshaping process are the focus of this study, and she herself can be regarded as a successful example.

It can be said that her role in this research is irreplaceable.

Shen Qing seemed very happy to hear Wei Hongsi say that, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Then it's settled!"

Wei Hongsi didn't know why she was so enthusiastic, but that didn't matter. He nodded and said, "It's settled!"

Tang Jinxia said, "Qingqing, let me talk to Teacher Wei alone."

Shen Qing looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Oh, I'm not against you," Tang Jinxia said with a smile. "If you want to discuss cooperation, I should at least ask about the terms, right?"

Shen Qing said, "Then ask away! Why won't you let me hear?"

Tang Jinxia then offered a few more words of advice, and Shen Qing reluctantly stood up.

Wei Hongsi knew that if he wanted Shen Qing to join, he would have to get Tang Jinxia involved, so he said, "Teacher Tang, let Shen Qing sit here for a while. I'll go out with you. There are still people working overtime outside."

"Okay." Tang Jinxia immediately stood up and made Shen Qing sit back down.

Wei Hongsi led Tang Jinxia to the tea room, where there were several tables and chairs for employees to sit and rest. Naturally, no one was there at this time.

He invited Tang Jinxia to sit down and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

Tang Jinxia glanced at the coffee machine on the counter: "Black coffee, please."

Wei Hongsi had never used this device before. He glanced at the instructions, which weren't too complicated, and followed them. A short while later, he filled a disposable cup with coffee and brought it to Tang Jinxia.

Tang Jinxia took a sip, put down her cup, and said, "Teacher Wei, the first time I met you was on the set of the 'GG' movie at the amusement park. Weren't you investigating this 'psychological virus' back then?"

Wei Hongsi was somewhat surprised, not expecting Tang Jinxia to connect these things together. There was no need to deny it, so he said, "Yes."

Tang Jinxia gave an understanding smile: "I knew it. President Ji wouldn't do anything for no reason. You're not related to him, so there must be a reason why he's being polite to you. So, you were the first to discover the problem with that pornographic video, right?"

Wei Hongsi nodded.

Tang Jinxia said, "So you did help Shen Qing, and I can't object to her wanting to participate in your research. Of course, Shen Qing also has her own musical ideas, which I support. However, there are some conditions I still need to discuss."

Wei Hongsi said, "Please go ahead, Teacher Tang."

Tang Jinxia asked, "Shen Qing is invited to participate in your research, but the invited collaborators must be official entities. Is that possible?"

Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "Okay."

Tang Jinxia said, "That's good, that's the major premise. Second, if this research yields results, Shen Qing's name must be on the list of contributors."

Wei Hongsi said, "Of course."

Tang Jinxia said, "Third, we need to promote this content on Shen Qing's personal account."

Wei Hongsi shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. This research, at least at this stage, needs to be kept confidential. Professor Tang, you should know that this is related to the case."

Tang Jinxia thought for a moment and said, "Then let's choose another one. I hope Shen Qing can receive an official award for her participation in this research."

Wei Hongsi considered it for a moment, then said, "This should be fine."

Tang Jinxia was somewhat surprised: "Can you really make these decisions?"

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "The three conditions you mentioned are all acceptable."

Having just received Director Liang's promise that morning, Wei Hongsi was naturally very confident. Tang Jinxia only wanted to earn some recognition for Shen Qing, and given the contributions Shen Qing could make, these requests were not unreasonable.

Seeing that Tang Jinxia still seemed somewhat skeptical, Wei Hongsi said, "Professor Tang, if I cannot meet these conditions, you can refuse Shen Qing's participation in this research."

Tang Jinxia glanced at him a few times, and seeing Wei Hongsi's confidence, she thought to herself, "This young man has quite a bit of influence." She said, "Then I'm relieved."

Wei Hongsi asked, "Does Teacher Tang have any other conditions?"

Tang Jinxia said, "The rest are minor matters; these are the main ones."

Wei Hongsi was somewhat surprised: "Isn't there anything related to economics?"

Tang Jinxia smiled and said, "This isn't a commercial performance, how much money can we make? We can join voluntarily or be paid according to our work, as long as we follow the rules."

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "Then there's no problem. To be honest, if we're talking about extra compensation, I'll have to report to my superiors before I can make a decision."

He initially thought Tang Jinxia wanted to discuss business terms, and he could only note down her requirements before reporting them to the company or official channels. If Tang Jinxia made exorbitant demands, the deal might really fall through.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jinxia is quite different from some agents I've seen in the news; she knows how to make choices.

Tang Jinxia smiled and said, "The company has its own rules, let's go back." With that, she picked up her coffee cup and stood up.

Shen Qing was leaning against the sofa, twirling a strand of hair with her fingers while humming a newly composed tune. Hearing the door open, she quickly sat up straight.

Seeing the smiles on her aunt's and Wei Hongsi's faces, she asked, "Have you finished your discussion?"

Tang Jinxia nodded: "It's settled."

Shen Qing said, "Then I also need to have a private talk with Wei Hongsi."
