This year's electronics exhibition was held in a well-known city in central China, which happened to be Bai Jinxuan's hometown, so she agreed to sing a song at the opening ceremony.

This is what she said when Chen Xu video chatted with her.

A few months ago, Bai Jinxuan's single "Winter Love" became a nationwide hit. Then, he released a digital album with ten songs. In two months, it sold 1.5 million copies, shocking the entire music industry.

Every song in the album is of good quality, and coupled with her incredible popularity, within a short period of time, she became popular both online and offline, from the streets and alleys to KTVs.

Bai Jinxuan also completed a gorgeous transformation from a traffic star to a talented and creative female singer.

Some media even called this year the Year of Bai Jinxuan.

Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Chen Xu to find an opportunity to meet her. After waking up from the dream, they only met once. The rest of the time, they could only communicate via video.

It is said that a short absence is better than a new marriage. Since they have few opportunities to get together, he is still eager to meet her. However, he is going with Luo Xiyun this time, so he can only hope that they will not run into each other.

This time, Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun brought everyone in the company with them. The journey took about ten hours by high-speed rail.

They arrived a day earlier and booked a five-star hotel.

Luo Xiyun has always been generous in terms of employee treatment. When she was at Wanhua, she was the one who advocated raising employee salaries to increase employee motivation. She was the one who pushed for several large-scale salary increases.

Of course, she also has very high demands on her employees. If they fail to meet her requirements, she will never show mercy when firing them.

When she started her own company, the situation was even worse because the future was uncertain and new employees were reluctant to learn an unfamiliar programming language. Many of them quit after just a few days.

In order to recruit people, she had to increase the salary. In just a few months, the employees had changed several times. Later, after Luo Xiyun made a game engine specifically for making VR games, the employees were shocked and the staff began to stabilize.

After that, Luo Xiyun continued to publish papers and became a recognized top expert in VR in the industry. He designed a new programming language for use in VR environments. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the founder of the field.

Now that the first generation of VR glasses has been successfully developed, they are unwilling to leave even if you force them to leave.

…………

"What's going on?"

When Chen Xu and his friends arrived at the hotel they had booked, they found a lot of young people gathered in front of the gate.

Secretary Guo said, "It seems that Bai Jinxuan lives here, and these are her fans."

Chen Xu glanced at Luo Xiyun. She was also a little surprised. Noticing his gaze, she shook her head, meaning that this was not something she had deliberately arranged.

The group finally entered the hotel.

The employees discussed quietly, "I didn't expect Bai Jinxuan to live here too. Is she recording a show here?"

"You don't know? She's going to sing at the opening ceremony of this electronics exhibition. You fake fan."

“I don’t know what she looks like in real life.”

"She also lives here. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet her."

"To be honest, I didn't think she was that pretty before, but when I saw her singing on a show last week, wow, she was absolutely stunning..."

"Before, many haters said that she was just a studio singer, but she sang a cappella on the show and shocked everyone."

"I am invincible during the day..."

…………

Chen Xu listened to their discussion and realized how popular Bai Jinxuan was now. Those eleven songs really attracted a lot of fans. Many passers-by, even haters, became his fans. Now on the Internet, this has become a meme.

Soon, everyone went to their own rooms.

Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun lived in the same room. After the door was closed, she said, "If you want to see her, go ahead."

"I'm here to accompany you." Chen Xu went over to help take out the things in the suitcase.

This exhibition will last for three days, and including today, I will stay for four nights, so I brought a lot of luggage.

After packing up, Chen Xu did not go out. He took out his laptop and started working.

Before I knew it, it was night.

Luo Xiyun glanced at the time and said to Chen Xu, who was still busy in front of the computer, "Let's go downstairs to eat."

"Okay." After saving the data, Chen Xu closed the computer and followed her out.

Luo Xiyun waved the waiter over and started taking orders. After ordering a few dishes, he handed the menu to Chen Xu. He said, "You take care of it."

After a while, the food came.

While eating, Chen Xu was somewhat surprised to see an acquaintance walk in. It was the boss of Bai Jinxuan's agency, the woman named Shao Qing.

She came here with others, and after her companions sat down, she walked over here.

"Long time no see. What a coincidence to meet you here." She said with a smile.

Chen Xu said, "Yeah, it's been a long time. Judging from your complexion, you have been doing well recently."

"Not bad." Shao Qing looked at Luo Xiyun who was sitting next to him and asked, "Who is this..."

"My girlfriend." Chen Xu said this, but he didn't intend to introduce them to each other.

Shao Qing said, "Oh. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Luo Xiyun nodded slightly to show politeness, but did not speak.

"I have a friend over there, I'll go over first." Shao Qing said, and then left. It seemed like he really came here to say hello.

After she left, Chen Xu whispered to Luo Xiyun, "She is the boss of the agency."

He didn't say the name, but Luo Xiyun understood.

This little episode did not affect the atmosphere at the dinner table.

After eating, Chen Xu said to Luo Xiyun, "You go up first. I'll talk to that person about something."

"Okay." Luo Xiyun didn't say much and followed everyone upstairs.

Chen Xu was sitting alone. After a while, Shao Qing also saw her friend off, walked over and sat opposite him.

She complimented, “Your girlfriend is so beautiful.”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Does she know about you and Jinxuan?"

Chen Xu said, "This has nothing to do with you. I came to you to ask you something."

Shao Qing asked with a smile on his face, "What's the matter?"

Chen Xu asked, "What is the equity structure of your agency?"

"Why are you asking this? Do you still want to invest in our company?" Shao Qing asked back.

"I just want to buy some shares from some shareholders."

Shao Qing looked into his eyes and saw that he didn't seem to be joking. His expression became more serious and he shook his head and said, "You should know that for a company like ours, shares can't be bought with money."

"That's because the money they gave us is not enough." Chen Xu said, "I hope you can convey it. Maybe they are willing to talk."

Shao Qing looked at him for a while before slowly saying, "Do you know what it means to have a top-tier traffic and a talented singer who can create songs? Jinxuan is a gold mine right now, and no one will miss this opportunity to make money. So forget it."

Chen Xu picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and said, "How much was the penalty for breach of contract in the agency contract that Jinxuan signed? Five hundred million, right? Tell the shareholders behind your company that if they refuse to sell their shares, I will pay for it."

Shao Qing's expression changed a little. Her first reaction was that this boy was bragging without thinking, but for some reason, she didn't dare to say anything sarcastic.

Maybe it was because he spoke too lightly when he mentioned the 500 million?

She said cautiously, "This is 500 million."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not. It's just that your agency has been exploiting her too much, with her doing TV shows and commercial performances. It's hard for me to even see her. I'm very unhappy."

"Now, I'll give you two choices. Either I buy 51% of the shares. Or I'll pay the penalty. But I have to remind you that I'm a petty person and I'll take revenge. You should let them think it over."

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he stood up and left the restaurant.
