Chapter 42: An Unexpected Reward
“Hey, have you heard? Someone seems to have been buying the houses here recently. It is said that a young master from a wealthy family is buying houses to raise dogs. I went to ask around this morning; the houses around here have almost all been sold. There aren’t even any houses available for rent now.”
“The world of the rich is not something that we can understand. Buying so many houses just to raise dogs, heh heh, he has so much money that he is just burning it.”
“Isn’t that the case? Several million used just to raise dogs, sigh. Oh, right, I heard that those taking care of the dogs for him even get salaries of 1,000 yuan a month as well as a place to stay. This guy is a real prodigal. I have never seen anything like this before.”
…
In the residential area near Ye Lai Xiang.
The sound of dogs barking could constantly be heard.
Woof woof woof!!
Woof woof woof!!
Ahwooo!!
“Damn it! How is one supposed to live like this! Whose dog is looking for death so early in the morning! And it’s not just one but a bunch!” A guy furiously covered his head with his blanket, but after a while, he tossed it away. “AHHHHH, I can’t take it anymore. I am going to whack someone! What the heck is this! It’s just like a bunch of flies humming in my ears. I am going to kill someone! Oh, no, I am going to kill dogs!”
His wife grabbed him and said, “You don’t want to live anymore? The one raising the dogs is a young master from a super-rich family! It is said that he bought dozens of houses just to raise dogs alone. How are you going to be able to win against him? Let’s just wait. After some time the situation will improve.”
“What… what the heck, this is a nuisance! A nuisance! I am going to sue him!” the guy grumbled, obviously knowing the chances of winning the lawsuit were very low. Finally, he angrily covered his head with the blanket again. “Even if we can’t fight against him, can’t we hide from him? If he makes me angry, I will just sell the house to him. We can just move away!”
…
Disregarding what was happening there, moving back to Hong Dali, he was now carefreely sleeping in class again.
For someone who had graduated from university with honors in his past life, the lessons in high school were too simple for him. Whether or not he listened to the lesson was of no meaning to him.
His face was facing the left side as he slept for one lesson. When he got tired of the position, he changed sides and faced the right side to sleep for another lesson…
When he woke up, he took out his phone. There was a message that Ling Xiaoyi had sent him. [Young Master, the entertainment company has started hiring. A team has agreed to join us. Master is already arranging to transfer ownership of the Chenhui Building. It should be done very soon.]
Speaking of which, having such a competent assistant really saved him quite a lot of hassle.
Hong Dali replied with a message: [How are things going with Sister Nianwei? Has she started rehearsing? What about the sports stadium? They can start building the stage now. I want the best one available. En, and increase the scale of the s. For now, just advertise around the area in West Fourth Loop. Make the slogan “Free concert, all welcome.” I only have one condition: the number of attendees must be high during the concert! I do not just want a few thousand people scattered around.]
Ling Xiaoyi’s reply came very quickly: [OK, I got it. Lady Nianwei has officially signed the contract with Caiwei Entertainment. We paid a total of 200,000 yuan for her breach of contract with her previous company. Oh, right, Young Master, I have gathered most of the information on Turkey Bookstore. I will pass it to you during your lunch break.]
Hong Dali: [OK! I will think of a plan to dupe him! Hmph hmph.]
…
Being a seasoned music producer, Sheng Wenshi and his two other colleagues were in charge of auditing and recommending new songs. In Heavenly State’ most popular music broadcasting software company Ku Ge, there existed six groups of people like them. Sheng Wenshi’s job was to further classify the qualified songs into different ranks and put them on the Ku Ge software to be recommended to the public according to their rank.
This job seemed to be very enjoyable, but in practice, it was totally the opposite. Even though most songs had already been audited before he listened to them, they still sounded weird to the ears. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the ears were filled with demonic sounds.
Especially when he had to do it day after day, year after year. Sheng Wenshi felt that it was thanks to heaven’s blessing that he hadn’t already suffered a mental breakdown.
Early in the morning, when Sheng Wenshi was listlessly listening to unintelligible songs, his colleague suddenly rushed in enthusiastically. He had a love-struck expression, and his saliva was almost dropping out. “Old Sheng, I found a treasure yesterday, a treasure!”
“You won five million yuan gambling?” Sheng Wenshi waved his hand in front of his colleague. “What made you so excited?”
“Do you remember the mission we accepted? The one regarding the theme song for the movie Wind Pursuer ?” His colleague wiped his saliva and stared at Sheng Wenshi with eyes like lightbulbs.
“Don’t look at me like that, as if you are a goldfish.” Sheng Wenshi stepped back twice from shock. “I know about the mission. The higher-ups asked us to help select the theme song, but the problem is that so far, there haven’t been any suitable songs. Why, have you found a prospect? Let me hear it.” Wind Pursuer was one of the rare majorly produced films in Heavenly State these few years. Production of this movie was said to have cost eight million yuan or so. It was of the science fiction genre and was the most anticipated film of the year. It wasn’t just one of the most anticipated films—it was the most anticipated film. Because of this, the mission to find a suitable theme song for this movie was exceptionally difficult.
“I not only found the song but even secretly recorded it!” His colleague started to drool upon mentioning this. “You have no idea how pretty the lady is! She is damn pretty! And her song, it is excellent!”
“Stop bullshitting! Hurry up and show me the recording!” Although he said this, Sheng Wenshi still felt slightly confused in his heart. Hearing his colleague’s words, this singer should be someone new and not well known. The probability that this kind of majorly produced film would use a newcomer’s song as its theme song was so low that it made one’s hair stand on end.
But he also knew, being a music producer, that knowing all the big shots and small celebrities in the music industry was a must. Since his colleague didn’t know the name of the singer, that person had to be a newcomer in the industry.
Luckily, his colleague very quickly took out the camcorder, then removed the memory card and connected it to the computer.
The recording appeared shortly after.
It was taken in a bustling and raucous environment. At the start of the video, this scene caused Sheng Wenshi’s eyebrows to frown. Someone who sang at a place like this, how good could she be?
Sheng Wenshi was slightly suspicious. “Are you sure you are not kidding me?”
“You will understand after you finish watching the video.” His colleague was staring intently at the screen, his saliva drooping out again. “She’s coming out, she’s coming out!”
Very quickly, a young girl appeared on the stage. Her hair was let down to her waist, and her body was slender. The temperament of a pretty girl from a humble family could be felt. But before Sheng Wenshi could react, her temperament changed in a split second.
Using the commonly used words nowadays to describe, she was a receiver off stage and instantly changed into a giver. The strong contrast in temperament almost caused Sheng Wenshi’s heart to jump out.
“I dedicate this song, ‘Lightning Pursuit,’ to everyone!” the girl on stage said.
Energetic music sounded. The girl’s clear and penetrative voice was like thunder to the ears. A short three minutes flew past, causing Sheng Wenshi to become entirely astonished. After being astonished for an entire 30 seconds, Sheng Wenshi violently strangled his colleague. “Who is this lady? Tell me now! Who is she? How can I find her? Now!”
