Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...
Life seems to have gradually become much more mundane.
Chu Fang spends his days slacking off, feeling lazy and bored, while Zhong Tingyue is engrossed in her work.
They have almost completely different attitudes toward work, yet they are able to tolerate each other.
Chu Fang didn't care that Zhong Tingyue was a 'workaholic', as long as he spent all his time with Ms. Zhong. Zhong Tingyue also didn't care about Chu Fang's boring appearance.
Chu Fang looked up at Zhong Tingyue: "Ms. Zhong, don't you find it annoying that I'm so lazy all day long?"
"As long as you're happy." Zhong Tingyue shrugged her shoulders.
Happiness is a rare emotion, and if a person can live a happy life, then that life is worthwhile.
Zhong Tingyue brushed aside Chu Fang's hair, which was messy from sleeping, revealing his forehead. He looked more refreshed and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you have time now? Could you deliver a document for me?"
"I'm too busy slacking off to have time."
"Then I'll find someone else."
Chu Fang lowered his eyelids and said, "You beg me."
Two dimples appeared on Zhong Tingyue's delicate face: "Mr. Chu, I'm begging you."
"OK."
Chu Fang picked up the documents and left the studio.
Jiang Wenzhen, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore: "Sister Zhong, you can't spoil him like this. He's almost become a useless person."
“If I don’t spoil my man, who will?” Zhong Tingyue shook her head. “Besides, Chu Fang isn’t a good-for-nothing. A good-for-nothing wouldn’t be that rich.”
Jiang Wenzhen opened her mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent: "... ..."
Zhong Tingyue is absolutely right.
If Chu Fang is a piece of trash, then what are ordinary people like them?
Waste among wastes?
Suddenly, Chu Fang poked his head out: "Huh? Where should I send the document? I was playing a game and forgot about it."
Jiang Wenzhen: "... ..."
I feel sorry for myself, that I actually lost to such an idiot.
Zhong Tingyue: "Mingzhu Square".
... ...
The Pearl Plaza in Shanghai is home to many unknown underground bands who sing with musical dreams, hoping to one day become world-renowned bands.
Chu Yi's 'Sun Band' is one of them.
Chu Yi and his four friends, Ruan Huixian, Dai Qingrou, Jiang Lei, and Sun Yuze, were seen singing a song together.
Despite having only a handful of spectators, Chu Yi still felt very happy.
As the song ended, Chu Yi sighed and said, "I should have chosen music as my major in college."
"Then why did you choose finance?" Dai Qingrou asked.
"Sigh!" Chu Yi sighed. "I was young and ignorant. I didn't know anything back then. My major was chosen by my second brother. He said that finance doesn't require knowledge, it's all about connections, and my second brother just happened to be able to get me into this industry."
Jiang Lei, sipping his water, asked, "Your second brother?"
“It’s not my second brother, it’s my cousin,” Chu Yi said.
"More or less," Sun Yuze chimed in. "Your second brother must be pretty capable, right?"
Chu Yi thought for a moment: "It's alright. I've only made some money and achieved financial freedom. Now I'm always around my sister-in-law."
"Tell me how amazing it is? I'd like to hear."
Chu Yi shook his head: "Never mind."
"Don't want to talk about it?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll feel inferior."
"Heh." Hearing this, Sun Yuze and Jiang Lei, the two boys, were aroused. "I want to know just how powerful your second brother is. We both have two shoulders and one head, so who's afraid of who?"
Ruan Huixian said, "Brother Chu's second house is worth tens of millions."
Jiang Lei: "Stop, let's stop here."
He considers anything over a million to be remarkable, let alone tens of millions.
Holy crap!
The five were chatting idly when suddenly Chu Yi's pupils contracted, and he quickly ran to a secluded spot.
"What's wrong with Yiyi?" Dai Qingrou asked curiously.
Ruan Huixian followed Chu Yi's gaze and saw Chu Fang carrying a file bag, walking slowly by, and said, "That's Chu Yi, the second brother."
The other three companions also looked over, and Dai Qingrou exclaimed, "So handsome!"
Jiang Lei: "Naive! So young."
Sun Yuze: "I feel inferior..."
Upon seeing Chu Fang enter a building, Chu Yi quickly ran out, packing up his musical instruments, and hurriedly said, "We can't stay here any longer, we need to get out of here quickly."
"Why?" Jiang Lei asked.
"If Chu Lao Er finds out I'm skipping class to play music, I'm doomed."
Sun Yuze: "... ..., didn't you tell us to be afraid of this and that?"
Chu Yi nodded: "Yes, I was telling you not to be afraid of your parents, but I wasn't talking to me."
Dai Qingrou, Jiang Lei, and Sun Yuze: "... ..."
Urged by Chu Yi, the group packed up their musical instruments and hurriedly left Pearl Square. Only after returning to school did Chu Yi finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest and said, "Luckily, Chu Lao Er didn't find out."
Why are you so afraid of your second brother?
"From childhood to adulthood, Chu Lao Er is the person who has beaten me the most, so of course I'm afraid of him."
"So, are you still going to play music? Has our newly formed band fallen apart? Do we still have a performance tomorrow?"
"As long as Chu Lao Er doesn't find out, it's fine." Chu Yi comforted his companions. "Tomorrow, of course, we'll still dance and ride as usual. I don't believe that Chu Lao Er will go to Mingzhu Square a second time."
Just as Chu Yi had predicted, the Sun Band performed at Pearl Square the next day, but Chu Fang never showed up again.
In the following days, Chu Yi became even bolder, skipping classes without restraint to practice singing and perform in the square with a few friends.
Although there were few spectators, I was in a good mood.
Snap snap snap... ...
When the song ended, applause erupted from below.
Chu Yi smiled at the bespectacled man in front of him and said, "Thank you."
These days, when they come to perform here, they often see the bespectacled man, listening attentively to the band's singing and clapping.
"Let's get acquainted, this is Shen Chao." The bespectacled man stepped forward.
"Chu Yi." Chu Yi nodded, then introduced the other four companions one by one.
"I've been observing your band for several days now, and you're a very good band. Your singing skills and teamwork are both excellent," Shen Chao said. "I'll get straight to the point. I'm an agent who specializes in discovering promising musicians. Are you interested in becoming artists under my company?"
Chu Yi took the business card and looked at the titles on it: music mentor, professional agent, and so on. She said in surprise, "Agent?"
"Yes."
Chu Yi and the other four exchanged glances. Jiang Lei asked, "So you're planning to sign us?"
Shen Chao said, "You need to go through trials, selections, various auditions, and a final test before our company can sign you. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Sun Yuze nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, of course I'm willing."
Nowadays, there are countless people playing music in China, but most of them are frustrated and unsuccessful. Only a few bands can catch the eye of music companies, and even fewer can debut and release singles. That is the dream of many musicians.
They were naturally excited to have such a great opportunity presented to them.
The two parties exchanged contact information and agreed on a time to visit Chenchao Company to discuss what to do next.
After seeing Shen Chao leave, the five people looked at each other.
Does this mean we've already stepped into the music industry?
"Perhaps... maybe."
Wuhu~~~
"I want to become a star, I want to release singles, I want to create music that will last forever." Chu Yi was the happiest.
Chu Yi enjoys listening to and singing songs, and becoming a singer or musician is her dream. When she was suddenly told that she might become a singer, her feelings were indescribable.
"Chu Lao Er, you only have some stinking money, while my songs will be remembered for generations. I am ultimately more amazing than you!"
"From now on, when you see me, you'd better walk with your head down."
At this moment, Chu Yi was already fantasizing about his own success and the scene of Chu Fang being oppressed by him.
I get so excited just thinking about it.
