"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou?" There was a gentle female voice on the other end of the phone, which finally woke Zhou Yiyang, who was still half asleep.
He held the phone in his hand, unable to recall how he answered the call. He only glanced at the caller ID, which showed it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, who are you?" Zhou Yiyang touched his forehead. Although he didn't have a fever, he actually had a headache.
"I'm Teacher Liu Fenfang's assistant. We had a drink together last night."
"Oh oh oh, sorry, I, I just woke up!" Zhou Yiyang remembered.
After the recording of the show ended yesterday, the trainees returned to the castle, and their agents and the program crew got together to have a drink and a meal.
As for what they talked about, Zhou Yiyang didn't remember. He drank a lot of wine and talked a lot of nonsense.
"Teacher Liu also guessed this, so he asked me to call you to remind you that you have an appointment at 12 noon today at the Blue Frog Restaurant downstairs from your house."
Twelve o'clock?
Zhou Yiyang glanced at the screen of his mobile phone suddenly. It was already eleven forty-five.
It was called a date, but in fact it was Liu Fenfang who introduced Zhou Yiyang to an agent, which was also a bonus benefit of the cooperation.
"Xiao Zhou," Liu Fenfang said yesterday, her expression lively and cheerful. "He's quite capable. If it weren't for the accident, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
Regardless of whether Liu Fenfang was exaggerating or not, Zhou Yiyang was unwilling to be late for an appointment with others, as this would tarnish his personal image.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yiyang quickly put on his clothes, sprayed some perfume, and then ran downstairs.
By the time he arrived at the restaurant door, his breathing had already stabilized. He looked as if he had been prepared and arrived on time, very respectable.
By the window, a middle-aged man with long hair and a beard waved at Zhou Yiyang.
That should be the person he is going to meet today.
If it weren't for Liu Fenfang's introduction, Zhou Yiyang felt that it would be easy for him to make a preconceived notion based on this person's appearance and think that he was not a good agent.
After all, this man exudes a depressed temperament all over his body. He is not unkempt, but when you see him, your mood will become a little depressed.
It's just like the bad luck spirit that often appears in anime and games.
"Hello." After Zhou Yiyang sat down opposite him, he handed the menu to him and said, "Let's order first and then we can talk."
The man was not pretentious. After ordering a few signature dishes, he said, "I saw your photo online, so I recognized you at first sight. You look so young."
"Thank you," Zhou Yiyang wiped his hands. "Were you an agent before? When Sister Liu and I mentioned you, her words were filled with regret and sorrow."
"Yes," the man said, not overly emotional when he mentioned his past. "Liu Fenfang and I have been friends for many years. Did she ever tell you why I became like this?"
"No." Zhou Yiyang smiled: "If you are willing to tell me, I will listen carefully. If it is inconvenient, I don't mind. After all, the person sitting in front of me now is you."
"Very good." The coffee arrived, and the man drank it without adding any sugar. "Liu Fenfang and I are from the same company, and we've both managed several popular artists. When my career was at its peak, my wife cheated on me. Luckily, I don't have any children yet, otherwise I might have become a father."
Zhou Yiyang didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. Perhaps she didn't need any comfort. After all, the fact that she could joke proved that she had gotten over the pain.
"She and her adulterer also accused me of domestic violence. I was under so much pressure during that time. My artists were also exposed to negative news one after another. I almost committed suicide."
"This..." Zhou Yiyang was stunned. He felt suffocated just thinking about exchanging identities. Today's fear of marriage arrived as expected: "Fortunately, you didn't do anything stupid. Wouldn't that mean that couple got away with it?"
"I won't forgive them, but I don't want anything to do with them either. After that incident, I resigned and returned to my hometown to recuperate for three years. If Liu Fenfang hadn't introduced you here, I might still be unwilling to come out."
The midday sun was a bit dazzling, and it fell on the table through the window. The man had no choice but to block the light with his palm.
"You should have seen my experience. I also hit rock bottom and started over again. Although it's far from a comeback now, it's also improved, right? If it weren't for that accident, you should be a well-known agent in the industry now, right?"
"Maybe," the man nodded. "But that's all in the past. Now I'm just a frustrated middle-aged man. Fortunately, I have some fame and connections in the industry. If you don't have a better choice, I should be able to do this job."
When the man was willing to meet, he had already made up his mind to work for Zhou Yiyang.
The reason was simple. He had specifically looked up information about Zhou Yiyang and Bai Yueguang. From his professional perspective, Yiyang Entertainment had great potential.
Bai Yueguang's sudden popularity has a lot to do with this young man. Working with a boss like this, the future is bright.
The man has been living off his parents for three years and he feels that he should find a job.
"It seems we don't need to beat around the bush. After all, I'm a newcomer, and what I lack most in this industry is connections and experience. You have both of these qualities, so I warmly welcome you to Yiyang Entertainment."
"Mr. Zhou," the man shook his hand. "I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
On the official Weibo, Zhou Yi Yang posted a message welcoming Bai Yang Yu to join Yi Yang Entertainment.
However, apart from people in the industry, most netizens did not know who Bai Yangyu was, so this Weibo post was quickly ignored by everyone.
Only a few people in the circle remembered who Bai Yangyu was.
But they just sighed a few times and didn't pay any more attention.
"Boss Zhou," Bai Yangyu stood up and said after the two of them chatted about the company's development, "It's getting late. I have to go home."
"Where do you live now?" Zhou Yiyang asked.
"A friend rented me his house at a low price." Bai Yangyu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't worry about me ending up on the streets."
After seeing Bai Yangyu off, Zhou Yiyang remembered that today was the last time 101 would announce the rankings.
I don’t know who will be in the final 18!
At the same time, the final 18 players wiped away their tears and waited for Luo Chen to announce the last two stages of the finals.
"After the mentors' performances, the second round will be the competition. You will be divided into two groups to perform. I will play the songs for you next. You will choose the songs and your positions according to your ranking."
