However, Jiang Jiahan and even Liu Tiantian beside her were not fools. With Lin Chen's eyes practically popping out of their sockets, who didn't know what he was thinking? But they didn't expose him; they just waited quietly for his performance.
"Alright, consider this money a loan. Anyway, I'm a full professor at Haizhou University, so I can't just run away. I'll add you on WeChat and tell you my address. Also... 30 million yuan, will you be paying by check or bank transfer?"
Jiang Jiahan said in a serious tone, as if she had already believed Lin Chen's words.
"Um, this money is temporarily frozen and will take a little while to be unfrozen. Give me some time, and I'll definitely give you an answer and transfer it as soon as possible!" Lin Chen said somewhat flusteredly, not expecting Jiang Jiahan to agree so readily.
"Then you need to hurry, preferably within 7 days," Jiang Jiahan urged.
"Don't worry! I'll definitely give you an answer within two weeks," Lin Chen assured him, patting his chest.
"..."
Without waiting for Jiang Jiahan's reply, Lin Chen quickly left his contact information on Jiang Jiahan's phone, and Jiang Jiahan's contact information was also left on Lin Chen's phone. Then, Lin Chen hurriedly left, pulling Liu Tiantian's hand, leaving a bewildered Jiang Jiahan behind.
Looking at the number on her phone, Jiang Jiahan wondered if what she had just experienced was real. But thinking that she would receive an answer in two weeks, a faint smile gradually appeared on her face.
That smile made the originally dark and cold environment seem warm and bright.
But no one saw that smile, and Lin Chen, who was busy rushing to catch the bus, certainly didn't. Sitting in the bus, Lin Chen's mood was still somewhat unsettled.
He originally came here hoping to find some business opportunities to make some money and then use it to pay off some of the outstanding payments for Wang Nanshan's project. Now, instead of making a single penny, he's lent out another 30 million?!
Lin Chen couldn't help but smile wryly, muttering to himself, "As a philosopher once said, don't go out and run around unnecessarily; it's a waste of money!"
"Brother Lin Chen..." Liu Tiantian noticed that Lin Chen's expression was off, and she called out softly.
Lin Chen thought Liu Tiantian wanted to show concern for him and was about to say he was fine when Liu Tiantian immediately said, "That girl is prettier than Tiantian, isn't she? But her bust size isn't as big as Tiantian's! Brother Lin Chen, can't you focus more on her good points?"
"Tian Tian, what are you saying?!" Lin Chen looked at Liu Tian Tian, who was swaying her upper body, with a mix of amusement and exasperation, thinking to himself: This little girl's thought process is really too peculiar!
Back at school, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chen's life was quite eventful during these three days.
He was dragged into the women's restroom twice by Lin Ruoyan, who questioned him about where he had been and what he had been doing all these days. After finally escaping Lin Ruoyan's "clutches," he was kicked into Ning Jiaqi's top-of-the-line black Mercedes-Benz GLS.
The same interrogation and torture scene played out again, and Ning Jiaqi was even more brutal, directly pressing Lin Chen into the chair and then straddling him to interrogate him in various ways!
When Lin Chen got home that evening, he wanted to catch his breath, but Liu Xinxin, who was holding a baby, was subtly probing him, trying to get some information out of him. At that moment, Liu Tiantian also put down her vocabulary book and homework, excitedly grabbing her phone and crowding around Lin Chen.
"Brother Lin Chen..." Liu Tiantian called out sweetly.
"Tian Tian, I'm a little tired right now. Can I rest for a bit?" Lin Chen said wearily.
"No, Brother Lin Chen, there's good news!" Liu Tiantian hurriedly handed her phone to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took the phone, his finger swiping across the screen, and a reply to an email appeared. It turned out that Liu Tiantian had sent Lin Chen's song "The Most Beautiful Her" online to several music publishing companies, and one company had actually replied, saying they wanted to buy the song's copyright!
"Oh, really?!" Lin Chen initially thought Liu Tiantian was joking with him again, but when he actually saw the reply to the email on his phone, he realized it was true!
The emails indicated that four music publishing companies were interested in his music and hoped to purchase the copyrights. Other companies inquired about his other music, ideally to create an album!
Lin Chen wasn't familiar with the names of these music companies, but Liu Tiantian earnestly explained them to him, telling him that two of them were relatively large, while the other two were smaller, emerging companies.
Large companies offer greater security, but their contracts may contain unfair terms, such as only allowing buyouts. Smaller companies, on the other hand, tend to have more flexible contracts. They may not provide much upfront funding, but they can offer revenue sharing, meaning you can earn money continuously from record sales.
"Brother Lin Chen, which one do you think we should choose?" Liu Tiantian asked, blinking her big eyes.
"No rush. I also think that if it's just one song, it won't bring in any revenue. Since they want to release an album, I'll continue creating to meet their requirements!" Lin Chen was now highly motivated, and he took out paper and pen to start creating freely.
Liu Tiantian didn't dare to disturb him. She quickly poured him a glass of water and made him a cup of tea. She even massaged his shoulders and arms from behind, acting like a very considerate girlfriend.
Lin Chen didn't know why his thoughts were racing, and he was writing effortlessly, producing another song in less than an hour. He'd barely finished one song before starting to create on the next page!
Lin Chen's hand ached from writing until late into the night, while Liu Tiantian had already fallen asleep by the bedside.
As the last note faded, Lin Chen finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Is it done already? So fast?" Liu Tiantian rubbed her sleepy eyes and hurriedly stood up. At this moment, a thick pile of papers had already fallen on the table.
"Tian Tian, help me organize this, and then quickly send it to them to take a look!" Lin Chen instructed.
However, this time, Liu Tiantian wasn't as excited as before after reading it. The song titles on the paper were: "Lovely Princess," "Kind-hearted Mom," "The Perverted Homeroom Teacher," and "The Vicious Eldest Sister"...
At this moment, a deep sense of loneliness filled Liu Tiantian's heart. Only now did she realize that Lin Chen's heart did not belong to only her.
"What's wrong, Tian Tian? Why don't we go to sleep first? It's getting too late, let's do it tomorrow!"
Lin Chen was so exhausted that he didn't realize what Liu Tiantian was thinking and simply fell asleep next to her.
