Chapter 38 A Fateful Coincidence
"Boss, the company asked me to bring you your clothes; they're in the passenger seat."
The driver's serious face immediately turned obsequious. Only when Li Jun mentioned the suit did he remember that there was such a thing.
Li Jun nodded silently, indicating that he understood.
At this moment, Tang Yan, who had been out of the airport for quite some time, was still looking for the driver who had picked her up, but after looking around for a long time, she still couldn't find him.
Just as she was filled with doubt, she picked up her phone.
Ding!
A message popped up.
Silence enveloped Tang Yan; it turned out she had been looking for the wrong thing all along.
She searched for the license plate number given in the phone message again, but soon began to doubt herself again.
No, not at all!
Li Jun changed into a suit and sat in the car, looking very proper.
"Boss, can we go out and have fun all day now?"
The driver asked.
"No rush, let's go to Huayi Brothers' headquarters first to pick up some things."
Li Jun said calmly, as if he were the true owner of the car.
The driver was puzzled, but simply followed his instructions, after all, he was just a gofer.
When they were almost at Huayi Brothers, Li Jun took out his phone and pretended to make a call.
"What? You just want me to wait at Huayi Brothers? Okay, okay."
He looked helpless and said to the driver:
"Hey, you can go back after you drop me off. Don't wait for me."
The driver nodded and focused on driving.
Soon Li Jun arrived at the entrance of Huayi Brothers, where Yuan Tao was there to greet him.
"Teacher Li, I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon!"
Yuan Tao was about to step forward and hug Li Jun, but was interrupted by the driver's voice behind him.
"Boss, you haven't picked up your clothes yet. I told you so many times, and look how well I remembered."
Li Jun looked embarrassed. Did he really have to take the things after hitching a ride in someone else's car? That was too shameless.
But when he said this thing was very important, I realized that if I didn't take it, I would be giving myself away.
Li Jun took the items and waved his hand dismissively.
"Go back now, but leave me your phone number."
He planned to return it later.
The driver was overjoyed to hear this. Did the boss appreciate him? He even asked for his phone number.
He happily got out of the car, called Li Jun's number, and then drove off happily.
Tang Yan, who was still at the airport, began to suffer internal strife.
Could it be that Chengtian Entertainment is somewhat dissatisfied with her?
That shouldn't be the case; it's a bit unreasonable.
She did indeed contact Chengtian Entertainment privately because she wanted to switch jobs; her original company was too small for her.
That's why she dressed so discreetly to avoid being recognized.
She was anxious because she couldn't make a name for herself at her previous company, and now the entertainment company was treating her with indifference.
She recalled her last performance; the people who were always entertaining her were lukewarm at all, seemingly not very satisfied with her.
Could it be that Chengtian Entertainment really doesn't want to accept her anymore?
"Teacher Li is truly an outstanding individual; to create such a masterpiece at such a young age."
Yuan Tao praised Li Jun, who was dressed in a suit and tie, clearly seeing that Li Jun had a good foundation.
"Manager Yuan, you flatter me. Do you know what the world's largest island is?"
Li Jun responded with a smile, and then squeezed Yuan Tao's hand to ask a question in return.
This question caught Yuan Tao off guard. Shouldn't normal people exchange a few pleasantries? Why did Li Jun suddenly start playing a riddle on him?
"This really touches on a blind spot in my knowledge."
Yuan Tao rubbed his chin and replied in a serious tone.
"Oh, it's you, boss."
Li Jun smiled as he held Yuan Tao's hand.
Yuan Tao suddenly realized, looking as if he understood, and then led Li Jun through the company's gate.
"Teacher Li, this is our lounge. We've also prepared a bedroom for you upstairs. Our company's artists are resting here. Today, another group of important people have arrived, so there's only one room left. I specially reserved it for you."
He praised Li Jun highly and treated him with great courtesy, after all, the value of such a talented young man cannot be easily compared.
Li Jun responded politely, as he felt that Huayi Brothers had made a very good impression, and the cooperation was a win-win situation.
"This is the recording studio. We are equipped with the best equipment in China, such as these mixing consoles, effects pedals, and various cables and accessories. Many of these are imported from Germany."
Huayi Brothers are known for their lavish spending; the only companies that can rival them are domestic giants like Rolling Stone Records and Taihe Wheatfield.
However, Huayi Brothers mainly focuses on film and television dramas, so overall they are stronger.
The recording room was spotless and very clean, and Li Jun nodded silently.
The soundproofing here is also very good; you can't hear the music being recorded inside from the outside.
"Mr. Li, the headquarters invited you here today to discuss future development matters. We also want to discuss the signing of a contract if you wish to produce new music."
Yuan Tao said politely, but Li Jun was a little puzzled.
"Hasn't the contract already been signed?"
Yuan Tao smiled politely:
"We're here to sign you. After discussions with the company, we agree that you have unlimited potential, so we'd like to sign you personally."
The song "Bauhinia" has become incredibly popular online these past few days. Huayi Brothers Entertainment underestimated its impact. After holding an all-night meeting, they finally decided to sign Li Jun.
Li Jun was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the thing he had wanted to push forward before would now proceed naturally.
"Okay, but I need to compose a new piece these next few days, so let's talk about it after I finish composing it."
Although he was very interested in this matter, he did not agree immediately. He could only negotiate terms once he had more pieces and they were of higher value. He was still in a passive position, as it was difficult to secure a lifetime contract based on just one piece.
Moreover, Zhang Liangying's final is next week, and he also needs to take care of his own children.
Although Yuan Tao was somewhat disappointed, she perked up when she heard that Li Jun was going to create a new song.
"That's great, Teacher Li. You can use any of the equipment here."
If Li Jun creates songs for them, he will definitely license those songs to them, which will bring the company a considerable income.
And at this very moment, Chengtian Entertainment...
"Xiao Wang, where's the person I asked you to pick up?"
The person in charge of Chengtian Entertainment made a phone call to inquire, saying that his boss was very dissatisfied with Tang Yan. He had tried his best to get a contract opportunity, but now his boss was waiting for her again.
"He received a phone call and said it would be fine to leave it with Huayi Brothers."
Xiao Wang scratched his head in confusion, clearly not understanding what his leader was saying.
