Chen Xu is currently facing some difficulties. First, he has no money. The balance in his card is less than 500 yuan. Even with the limit of Huabei and Baitiao, he can only withdraw a few thousand yuan.
In real life, he just got a promotion and a raise, and also got a lucky box that contained a brand new Apple phone. After selling it, he saved enough money to open a store.
To be honest, he couldn't remember where the lucky box machine was.
The first pot of gold is the most difficult to accumulate, especially for someone like him who is penniless, whose family owes a lot of foreign debts and who can't even take out tens of thousands of yuan. It is even more difficult to get started. Unless some special means are used, it will take at least several years to complete the initial accumulation.
During this period, he had no problem with Luo Xiyun, and he could think of a way to get in touch with Yang Jinxia. The key was Bai Jinxuan, her circle was too closed, and ordinary people couldn't get in touch with her at all. Moreover, the impression he had was that the boss of her current agency didn't seem very reliable.
Therefore, he must complete the accumulation of capital as soon as possible.
This was a bit of a headache. In fact, he knew very well that he was able to make so much money in such a short time because of Yang Jinxia's resources, not just money, but also her connections and influence.
Now the time has returned to two years ago, when he and Yang Jinxia didn't know each other yet. How could she help him so unreservedly? Moreover, he had to stay with Luo Xiyun so that he could have more opportunities to interact with her, so he couldn't resign.
It's really difficult to take care of three women.
However, he had no room to retreat and could only think of a solution.
After all, he is also a man who has cheated.
…………
Chen Xu chose this time to go to S City, not only to "accidentally meet" Luo Xiyun, but also to visit his fellow villager Chen Chao.
In the past ten days, he has been thinking about future plans and has a general idea in mind. At present, he does not have many connections that he can borrow, and Chen Chao is one of the better ones.
This time when I went to Chen Chao's company, I was already familiar with the route, so when I arrived there, I went straight up.
Chen Chao's company is not large. It is just a large office with an independent single room in the corner, which is the office of Chen Chao's two aunts.
When he went up, the receptionist was not there and walked into the door.
An employee sitting at the door looked up and saw that it was someone he didn't recognize, so he asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Mr. Chen here?"
The man pointed to the office in the corner and said, "In the office."
"Thank you." Seeing that he had no intention of going over to report, Chen Xu walked over and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Chen Chao's voice came from inside.
Chen Xu pushed the door open and walked in. The office was not big, with two desks. Chen Chao and his wife were there. There was a baby carriage next to them, with a baby about one year old sitting in it. The baby was holding a rattle in his chubby little hands and putting it into his mouth.
"Chen Xu, you didn't even call me when you got here."
When Chen Chao saw that it was him coming in, he stood up happily.
Chen Xu smiled and said to his wife, "Sister-in-law is back to work so soon."
She smiled and said, "There's been a lot going on at the company lately."
Chen Xu walked to the stroller, put a small toy he brought in front of the baby, and teased him, "Xiaozhi, do you still remember your uncle?"
When the baby saw the toy in his hand, he let go of the rattle, waved his hands, and babbled.
Although the office is small, there is still a coffee table, which makes it convenient when clients come to discuss matters.
He made tea with a kettle and replaced the tea leaves in the kettle while talking about business. "That's great. I never realized before that you have a talent for composing music. Those producers were full of praise for your music and said it was top-notch. They were vying to buy the copyright."
That's right, Chen Xu planned to enter the entertainment industry, so that he would have a chance to get in touch with Bai Jinxuan. Of course, celebrities and the like were not within his consideration, he didn't want to be exposed to the public, so he could only work behind the scenes.
In fact, he was a little worried. He had no connections and no start-up capital. It was not easy to accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time. This required some tricks, which was exactly what he lacked.
After all, he knew very well that he had no business acumen, and unless he had some luck, he would never be able to make a lot of money in his life.
Even if he cheated, he used an upright method to develop better products than those on the market and reduce costs through various technical means. He then spent money on promotion. This way, over time, he was able to beat all competitors, but it was also destined that the effect would be slow.
Judging from the resources he currently has, his ability to resist risks is too poor. Even if he finds a good project, it is likely to fail due to external influences.
He smiled and said, "I started learning after entering university. At that time, it was mainly for chasing girls. In the end, I didn't get the girls, but I fell in love with music. In the past few years, I tried to compose a few songs. I don't know how good I am. I thought you know some professionals, so I asked you for help."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "You are really blessed in disguise. I have already made an appointment with him and he will be here soon."
As they were talking, the tea was ready and they drank it while chatting.
The songs Chen Xu brought out were all those Bai Jinxuan was planning to publish. There were hundreds of them in total, all carefully selected by her, and all of them were top-notch. He was not worried at all that they would be buried.
When he was with Jinxuan, he often practiced singing with her and learned to play various instruments to accompany her. He knew those hundreds of songs by heart.
Soon, the person Chen Chao had arranged to meet arrived. He was a man in his thirties wearing a T-shirt. Chen Xu had only seen him in videos before. He was the director of the popular animated film next year.
After Chen Chao introduced them, the director shook hands with Chen Xu enthusiastically and said, "Are you the author of the song "My Fate is in My Hands"? You are really young."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "You are also younger than I thought."
His goal was to catch the train of this animated film that would become a big hit, and the song he came up with was the one that best fits the theme of this animation.
The two talked very smoothly. Chen Xu did not expect to make money from this trip. The production team was extremely poor. They could not even afford to hire an action director, so how much money could they spend on music? When the director knew that he had other songs, he urged him to take them out quickly, so he took out a few more songs.
After hearing this, the director immediately made the decision and finalized the collaboration with him.
………………
On Monday morning, Chen Xu came to the company as usual, sat at his seat, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea, and chatting with Lao Tang.
He hadn't chatted with Old Tang like this for a long time. Since Old Tang joined his company, his attitude towards him had changed a lot. This was a helpless reality.
He is a nostalgic person. He was very happy to go back to two years ago and see the old Tang again.
At this time, a familiar sound of footsteps came over. Without turning around, he knew it was Luo Xiyun. She arrived at this time last week.
He could clearly feel a gaze on him, which stayed for a second and then moved away. He smiled only when the footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor.
It seems that Saturday did leave some impression on her.
PS: I am really scratching my head without an outline. I am so exhausted from writing recently and have entered a period of laziness. For my next book, I must make a detailed outline.
