Chapter 347: There is nothing that a barbecue can't solve
After leaving the School of Communication, Zhou Anan no longer had the heart to wander around the university town looking for inspiration. He now wanted to go to the bar and have a couple of glasses of... juice.
Not drinking and driving is definitely the first principle of safety first.
"Boss, can I tell you something?"
Just as Zhou Anan was drinking watermelon juice and thinking about life, Zhang Tao came over, looking embarrassed to speak.
To be honest, his cousin kept begging him over the phone, and Zhang Tao couldn't refuse her kindness, so he had to bite the bullet and ask his boss for help.
Besides, apart from the boss, he couldn't think of anyone else who could help.
After all, he was just a bartender and half-manager in a bar with a limited social circle.
"What is it? Tell me."
After glancing at the other person, Zhou Anan continued to look at the stranger singer on the stage.
Well, the voice is good, the figure is nice, and the face looks familiar.
The other person's character doesn't seem like someone who can sing folk songs. Instead, he is more suitable for singing sweet love songs.
"Does that girl on the stage look familiar to you?"
Without saying what it was directly, Zhang Tao rubbed his hands and asked tactfully.
I'm embarrassed to speak up, let me think about it first.
Moreover, the problem he wanted to ask for help could not be solved by ordinary people.
It would be embarrassing if you asked a question that made things difficult for your boss.
"It looks familiar, which celebrity?"
Zhou Anan can definitely call out the name of the beautiful girl he had met before.
Unless it was some 18th-tier female star on the screen, the kind that was not very famous, he could recognize the face but could not tell the specific name for a while.
"That's my niece, Zhang Hanyi. There was a very popular 'Ultimate Goddess' talent show a few years ago, and she was the second place winner in the first season of that show."
"Oh, I remember now. She's your relative. I remember she was very popular a couple of years ago, but for some reason, there's been no news about her lately."
"Well, she had some conflicts with the company and was hidden by the company. Now she wants to participate in 'The Voice of China', but because of the restrictions of the contract she signed..."
After hearing Zhang Tao's words, Zhou Anan looked directly at him and asked, "Is she really your niece?"
This kind of help can be understood even if it is for the other person's girlfriend.
“Yes, we are from the same village.”
Seeing that his boss didn't believe him, Zhang Tao wanted to take out his household registration booklet and show it to him immediately.
"Okay, why rush? Let me ask someone to see if she can get her former company to give in."
Since it was her capable store manager who asked, Zhou Anan couldn't refuse.
After thinking about it, Zhou Anan called Miss Wang first.
When it comes to power in the entertainment industry, Miss Wang is definitely a big shot among the people he knows, even Miss Yu has to stand aside.
I don't think the other party would offend Miss Wang's uncle for a female artist who is not very famous nowadays.
"An An, what's going on so late?"
Wang Xiaoxiao, who was leaning on the sofa and watching TV series with a facial mask on, turned on the loudspeaker and asked casually.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, would you like to go out for a barbecue?"
Zhou Anan did not ask for help immediately because she was very clear about the strategy of dealing with this young lady.
People are soft-hearted. As long as you treat them to a meal, you can definitely get them to do you a favor.
If you refuse to help, then I'll give you two meals.
"Barbecue? Let's go to Zhuyuan? I think the lamb skewers there are fresher."
When she heard that it was a midnight snack, Wang Xiaoxiao immediately sat up straight, and her originally lazy voice became energetic.
"Yes, do you have time?"
As if she could guess Miss Wang’s current expression, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.
"Well, since you've invited me so sincerely, I have to give you some face. How about this, I'm at Nanzhouyuan, you can drive over to pick me up."
Since the other party was treating, Wang Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't take a taxi herself. It was only natural for the other party to act as a driver.
"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan glanced at the chubby girl who walked in front of her, and said to Zhang Tao: "Let your niece get ready to participate in tomorrow's audition."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
After looking at his uncle, Zhang Hanyi understood the situation and bowed repeatedly in surprise to express his gratitude.
The more than one year she was hidden by the company was the most painful time in her life.
Because he refused to accept the company's arrangements, Zhang Hanyi has had no income for almost a year and a half. He usually relies on odd jobs to earn a living and barely supports himself.
After some twists and turns, Zhang Hanyi learned that one of his uncles was running a bar, so he came over at the request of the other party and sang on stage for several nights as a passerby.
If I become a resident singer, it would be a violation of the original contract with Yu Hai Culture Company. Not only would my income not increase, I might also be fined.
It’s a pity that people here like folk songs, and her voice is not suitable for this style of music.
However, the tips she earned in the past few days were already much better than what she earned from odd jobs.
Until today, her uncle said that he would help her ask the big boss for a favor, so that she could get rid of her current Yu Hai Culture Company as soon as possible, and participate in "The Voice of China", which is currently hotly discussed online, and regain public attention.
In this regard, Zhang Hanyi did not hold much hope after hearing the uncertain tone of his uncle.
What she didn't expect was that the young boss actually agreed directly. Does the other party really have such great power?
Zhang Hanyi was unsure, but he would not let go of this life-saving straw.
You know, she foolishly signed a six-year contract with Beijing's Yu Hai Culture. Who could have thought that the company leader would be so despicable.
If she hadn't insisted on her own ideas and knew one or two seniors in the circle, she would have been eaten up to the point where not even a bone would be left.
"Thank you, boss."
Unlike his nervous niece, Zhang Tao had some idea of the power of this big boss. If he was not absolutely sure, the other party would not give him orders with such confidence.
"Okay, go back home and rest early today. By the way, the registration period for The Voice has passed. I'll have someone contact your uncle tomorrow."
After talking to Zhang Tao and the other man, Zhou Anan left immediately and went to treat a certain young lady to a midnight snack to use her connections.
This girl with a sweet image is indeed quite attractive, but Zhou Anan is not so bad as to have a sexual relationship with the niece of her subordinate. It is not a big deal, so he will help her if he can.
Ugh, he has always been a gentleman and would never do anything that follows unspoken rules.
Even the few beautiful female celebrities who had talked about life were all on the same page.
Well, that's it.
"Uncle, are you really okay as a boss?"
As soon as the young boss left, Zhang Hanyi asked uncertainly.
Otherwise, it would be just a false alarm.
"Don't worry, I'm a boss with a lot of power."
Zhang Tao comforted his niece by speaking in his hometown dialect, then turned around to do his work.
His boss is so straightforward, he can't let him down. He must run the bar well to live up to the boss's kindness.
