Chapter 117 Dinner

In the conference room, Gu Wei was warmly received by Zhang Songhui, president of Universal Music.

The two parties exchanged pleasantries and then sat down to sign a formal contract.

"Gu Wei, welcome to the Universal Music family. I believe that with your talent, you will become one of the top singers in the Chinese music scene."

After signing, Gu Wei and Mr. Zhang stood up and shook hands.

"Mr. Zhang, you think too highly of me. Writing songs and singing is just a hobby of mine. I can't compare to those professional singers."

Gu Wei said modestly.

"When it comes to being a singer, the most important thing is talent. I won't be wrong about you!" Mr. Zhang said with confidence.

Gu Wei never expected that his hobby of writing songs and singing would attract so much attention from Zhang Songhui, a big shot in the pop music industry.

"Mr. Zhang, I have a song I recorded before that I haven't released yet. I can give it to the company now and release it as a single."

Zhang Songhui was very interested in the song that Gu Wei mentioned.

Gu Wei took out the two English songs he had recorded before, [Natural] and [Sold Out].

Mr. Zhang called in the company's professional music producer, and everyone listened to these two songs together.

"Mr. Zhang, these two English songs are so well written, the quality is absolutely top-notch.

I believe it will not only be a hit domestically, but if headquarters can invest some resources, it could even achieve a good ranking on the Billboard charts.”

The producer looked excited.

As a professional in music, he is well aware of the quality of these two songs.

Zhang Songhui also had a smile on his face.

As the boss of a record company, how could he not tell the difference between good and bad songs?

"Gu Wei, I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise right after signing the contract. I was right. You are a true genius."

"Mr. Zhang, you're overpraising me."

"Well, you can re-record the song in the company in the next two days. After all, the environment and equipment in Shaocheng are not as good as ours. Are they perfect?

I will communicate with the US headquarters and try my best to secure resources for you. I believe that your two songs will become popular in North America soon."

After signing with Universal Music, Gu Wei spent another day re-recording two English songs, and the rest was handed over to the record company.

On Wednesday afternoon, Gu Wei prepared to entertain Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan and Li Xian who were coming to visit him at home.

Gu Wei simply bought some beef, mutton, and vegetables, preparing to eat hot pot at home.

While he was still washing vegetables in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Gu Wei knew that Yang Zi and the others had arrived.

He wiped his hands and walked to the door to open it for them.

"Welcome, welcome, come in~"

"Wow, Gu Wei, your house is so big!" After entering the house, Yang Zi looked left and right, as if he had never seen the world before.

Gu Wei took the box of beer from Zhang Yishan and put it under the dining table.

"When you become famous, 'little monkey', you can buy a bigger one than this if you want."

Gu Wei said nonchalantly that judging from Yang Zi's development, it would be easy to buy a villa in the future.

"I don't know when I'll be famous and make a lot of money. I really want to make money!"

Yang Zi thought about his current situation and shouted a little madly.

"It's not easy to become famous. Just lie down and take a nap, and you'll dream of anything."

Zhang Yishan was arguing with Yang Zi.

"Get out of here~~"

A few people were laughing and joking, and Gu Wei put everything on the table and started eating.

"Thank you Gu Wei for inviting us to his house for dinner, thank you very much!" Everyone raised their glasses. Yang Zi spoke first, and Zhang Yishan and Li Xian echoed him.

"We've been very busy with work recently and we haven't gotten together for a long time. I'm very happy to be able to get together with you all like this!" Gu Wei said as he picked up the glass of wine.

After drinking a mouthful of wine, Zhang Yishan picked up the chopsticks and prepared to shabu-shabu meat, but Yang Zi interrupted him.

"Wait a minute, you only know how to eat. This second cup is to congratulate Gu Wei for the big success of his movie!" Yang Zi continued.

Zhang Yishan picked up the wine glass and muttered softly

"We drink wine, but you drink a drink~"

Yang Zi turned around and glared at him

"You're the only one who talks too much!"

Zhang Yishan ignored her and said with a smile,

"Congratulations on the box office success, Gu Wei, let's go!"

"Thank you, thank you everyone. I'm lucky too."

After two glasses of wine, Yang Zi said nothing more and everyone started eating the hot pot.

The weather in Beijing in December is still quite cold.

A few friends were at home, eating hot pot around the table, drinking wine and chatting happily, feeling very comfortable.

In the middle of the process, County Magistrate Li also specially toasted Gu Wei with a glass of wine to thank him for his help.

Being able to play the male lead in a TV series is the first time in Li Xian’s acting career.

He was very grateful for the opportunity Gu Wei gave him.

Yang Zi was beside him and said, "Gu Wei, when can you ask me to play the female lead?"

Before Gu Wei could reply, Zhang Yishan interrupted

"County Magistrate Li is handsome, so it's no big deal for him to play the male lead. Even if you want to ask Gu Wei for help, just play the female supporting role!"

"What do you mean? Am I not good-looking? Why can't I play the female lead?"

Yang Zi pretended to hit Zhang Yishan.

Gu Wei was watching from the side and found it funny

"Of course our Sister Zi is beautiful. I'm optimistic about you. Sooner or later, you'll be able to play the leading female role and become a big star!"

Yang Zi was quite satisfied after hearing this

"Listen to what Gu Wei said. No wonder he's so popular while you're just a failure!"

"Gu Wei was just comforting you. I was telling the truth!" Zhang Yishan refused to be outdone.

So the two of them started arguing again.

The meal lasted until it was getting dark, and everyone packed up and said goodbye.

Gu Wei did not keep them, but called the driver to send the three people back safely.

Gu Wei tidied up the house, changed his clothes, and waited for the driver to come back.

He has another appointment tonight. Although it is also a dinner party, he probably won't eat anything, but will consume a lot of physical energy.

After a while, Gu Wei got in the car and arrived at Yang Mi's home in Jinmao Mansion, Beijing.

"Good evening, Sister Mi~"

As soon as Yang Mi opened the door, she saw Gu Wei smiling and saying to her, then handed her a gift box the size of a schoolbag.

"I invited you to my house for dinner, why would you bring a gift?"

Although he said so, Yang Mi still happily took it.

When I opened it, I saw it was an LV handbag, in black and white checkered style, made of crocodile leather, which looked exquisite and fashionable.

"I like the stuff very much, thank you~"

"As long as Sister Mi likes it."

Gu Wei bought the things at the mall on the road. Although it was Yang Mi who asked him to come, he couldn't go empty-handed on his first visit.

Following Yang Mi into the house, I found that her house was quite large, with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

Gu Wei entered the house, took off his coat and put it on the hanger beside him, then went to the dining room.

Yang Mi had already prepared the meal, a simple fried steak and a fruit salad.

On one side of the table was a freshly opened bottle of red wine.

Yang Mi asked Gu Wei to sit down

"You sit down first, I'll go change my clothes~" and turned into the bedroom.

After a while, Yang Mi came out. She was wearing home clothes, long pants and long sleeves.

She went in and changed into a black chiffon pajamas, which seemed to be elastic and somewhat tight, showing off her curvy and seductive figure.

The neckline of the dress was very wide, revealing large areas of white on her chest, and her long wavy hair was scattered messily on her white shoulders.

Yang Mi also sat down, leaning forward slightly, and folding his arms over the table, his body bottomless.

Before eating, Gu Wei swallowed his saliva. Maybe it was a little hot in the room, so he was sweating a little.

Yang Mi looked at Gu Wei with tenderness in her big eyes.

"My cooking skills are average, so please bear with me. Don't be disgusted."

"How could that be possible? It's my blessing to be able to eat the food cooked by Sister Mi."

After saying this, Gu Wei cut a small piece of beef with a knife and fork and put it in his mouth.

"Although it can't compare to the chefs in Western restaurants, it's still at home-cooked level, which is quite rare for a star like Yang Mi."

"By the way, Sister Mi, I heard that my uncle and aunt also live here. Haven't I seen them?"

“The house my father bought here in 2009 was not this one.

I bought this room later and live in it myself.”

Yang Mi said lightly.

"Tsk tsk~ Sister Mi is really rich. With the current housing prices in Jinmao Mansion, this one must be worth over 20 million."

"Don't come on, you big boss are still criticizing me, I have worked hard for so many years to save a little money.

You said how much you earn from making a movie, it’s more than what I’ve earned since I started in the industry.”

Yang Mi raised his wine glass

"Come on, Gu Wei, let me toast you and congratulate you on your box office success!"

"Thank you, Sister Mi." Gu Wei also raised his glass and clinked it with hers.

"When you have a good opportunity in the future, don't forget your sister Mi." Yang Mi said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise and won't break it."

Gu Wei understood what Yang Mi was talking about, and he knew he would definitely help her do what he had promised.

"Remember the last time I called you, I said I would give you a reward in advance~"

The meal was not much, Gu Wei had already eaten at home, and Yang Mi was a female star who had to maintain her figure, so she couldn't eat too much for dinner.

She took a few bites of beef and expressed her concern to Gu Wei.

So Gu Wei had no choice but to help her exercise to burn off the calories from dinner.

When exercising with Sister Mi, I naturally choose basketball. This is determined by my physiological structure.

To put it bluntly, it is a gift that others cannot envy.

It may be because Gu Wei’s recent movies have been a big hit and he has become very famous.

Plus, she needs him now.

After the exercise, Gu Wei felt that Sister Mi cooperated with him more than when she was on the set of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

At that time, Yang Mi had a queen-like and domineering style, and was relatively strong.

Although he was doomed to fail in the end, his style was tough and he dared to fight.

But today she has a different style, relatively more well-behaved and lazy.

No matter what ideas Gu Wei had, she would cooperate obediently.
