Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Xiao Mi asked me to ask you, how is the theme song going? Director Li Shaohong is urging us to do it."

"Why rush? The music and lyrics are already written, but I have to get someone to record it, right?"

"Oh, you know her, Xiao Mi wants to sing it herself... Of course, that's on the premise that the song is good enough."

"Yesterday I happened to invite a professional cold-music teacher to sing this song. Is Xiao Mi free now? Let's go see her and let her listen to the song first..."

"Really? That's great!"

You Dongjie watched a man and a woman chatting for a few words, and then inexplicably followed them into Li Shuo's Bentley luxury car. However, he was very discerning and deliberately sat in the front seat when getting in the car to make it easier for the man and woman in the back to get close to each other!

Then, You Dongjie saw through the rearview mirror that the woman named Xu Xiaosa got into the car without hesitation. The two chatted while being affectionate. From time to time, Xu Xiaosa took the initiative to kiss him...

You Dongjie was envious: I didn't expect Li Shuo to have a mistress in the Art Association! The key point is that the quality of these women is shockingly high. Each one is prettier than Tian Miaomiao, and their temperament and style are far superior.

Thinking of this, You Dongjie seemed to have some realization: Is it because Li Shuo looked down on Tian Miaomiao that she was the one that could be picked up by an outsider? Thinking of this, he felt even more complicated.

With such complicated feelings, You Dongjie followed the two people to an office building, then took the elevator to the 12th floor.

Halfway through, he heard Li Shuo ask in surprise: "No way, Xiao Mi's studio is in a place like this?"

Xu Xiaosa replied as a matter of course: "Yes, where else can we go if not here? The studio is just being built, so everything has to be kept simple. Xiao Mi has made some money over the years, but it's still not enough to build the studio she had in mind."

At this point, Xu Xiaosa suddenly remembered something and asked him, "Brother Shuo, you have also signed the investment agreement for the studio. When will the 1000 million arrive? Xiao Mi needs the money urgently."

About a week ago, Li Shuo bought 1000% of Xiao Mi Studio for 33 million, but...

Li Shuo said vaguely: "Large sums of money need to be reviewed by the company, and it may take some time..."

Reba has not yet confirmed to join the crew of "Palace", and the mutual trust in cooperation between the two sides has not yet been fully established, so Li Shuo is naturally not in a hurry to transfer money.

In fact, most companies are like this. The boss says something high-sounding when the cooperation is being finalized, but after the cooperation is finalized, the money transfer is slower than a turtle.

To put it in a positive way, the people under both sides are gradually building mutual trust. When the money actually arrives, the cooperation between the two sides will have actually been quite in-depth, and future things will be able to move quickly. To put it in a negative way, it is naturally easier for the boss to meet the devil than for the little devil to deal with. Although the boss has finalized it, for the subordinates, for the benefit of the company, it won't be a big problem if they keep the money on the company's books for a few more days, right?

However, You Dongjie sensed something different: Xiao Mi Studio was in a hurry for money, but Li Shuo was delaying. Judging from the degree of strength alone, Xiao Mi Studio was a typical Party B.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the two of them had already entered Xiao Mi's studio on the 12th floor. Then, You Dongjie saw a familiar face appear in front of him.

She seemed to have received the news, so she stood at the entrance and greeted Li Shuo with a smile:

"Li Shuo is here? Welcome, how come you have time to come to my place today, big boss?"

"I missed Sister Mi, so I came to see her..."

"Tsk, you're such a smooth talker."

"Hey, Sister Mi, how do you know my tongue is slippery?"

"Don't be weird, this is your first time here, how about taking a look at my studio?"

Yang Xiaomi extended her hand and invited the three people into the hall.

It's obvious that this place has just been renovated. The space inside is quite large, with work areas and leisure areas separately classified. However, compared with traditional companies, the work area here is not large, only about 50 square meters in size, which can accommodate about ten workstations. The corresponding leisure area is very large, and contains various rest and entertainment equipment.

Li Shuo sat down on the island sofa, stretched out his arms, and said in admiration: "Although it's small, it has everything. Sister Mi has done a good job here."

Yang Xiaomi sat closer to him, blinked and said, "But don't you think something is missing here?"

Li Shuo asked knowingly, "Are you short of people? It doesn't matter. I will transfer some people from Shuoguo Culture to support you later."

"We don't have enough manpower, but it's barely enough. The main thing is that we lack various equipment. The studio is just being built, and everything costs money..."

Before Yang Xiaomi finished speaking, Li Shuo waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright, Sister Mi, Xiao Sa has been talking to me about this for a long time on the way here... Well, the funding issue is managed by Min Yuerou of Shuoguo Investment. I will arrange for Sister Xiao Sa to have a meal with President Min and resolve the issue. What do you think?"

If Li Shuo said he would give her the money right away, Yang Xiaomi would not believe it. But when he said he wanted to "solve the problem" and invited "the one who manages the money to have dinner together," Yang Xiaomi was immediately excited and the smile on her face became more sincere: "Thank you, Brother Shuo!"

"You're welcome. We'll be a family from now on. You help me take care of Reba, and I'll help take care of you..."

Yang Xiaomi rolled her eyes at him and this time she didn't even bother to fight back.

At this time, Xu Xiaosa next to her reminded: "Sister Mi, the theme song has been produced..."

Yang Xiaomi's face was immediately filled with surprise: "Oh? Really? It's already been written?"

Li Shuo took out a USB from his pocket: "To be precise, it has been recorded. The singer is Tan Jun from Lengyin. Although he is a man, his singing skills are all professional, so I brought it here for you to listen to..."

"So what are you waiting for? Let's listen now!"

Yang Xiaomi stood up while speaking:

"Sister Feng, which is the best speaker here?"

"Xiao Ling, call Assistant Li over. He knows about music..."

Just 10 minutes later, more than a dozen employees of Xiao Mi Studio appeared in front of Li Shuo.

Yang Xiaomi's reaction to asking everyone to come and listen to the song was a bit exaggerated, but on the other hand, she also hoped to introduce Li Shuo to everyone:

"First of all, let me introduce to you this person, Li Shuo, the future partner of Xiao Mi Studio..."

"Mr. Li is a freshman at the Academy of Drama, but don't underestimate him because he is young. He has already founded several companies, including Shuoguo Culture, which is well-known in the industry..."

You Dongjie never expected that following Li Shuo on this trip would allow him to thoroughly understand Li Shuo's resume!

However, the more he listened, the more shocked he became:

It turns out that Li Shuo is so young, he is still a freshman in the Drama Academy. Then why does he have such tremendous power in the Drama Academy?

It turns out that the famous Shuoguo Culture is just one of the companies under Li Shuo's name!

It turns out that 'Shuoguo' is the Shuoguo series, which includes the familiar fruit mobile phone stores, and has also ventured into real estate, Internet and other industries!

In addition to these, You Dongjie was also deeply shocked by Yang Xiaomi's attitude towards Li Shuo: As a well-known first-line star, Yang Xiaomi's enthusiasm and attempts to win over Li Shuo were visibly evident, which could only prove that Li Shuo was even more powerful than he had imagined!

"Hold you in my hands and burn incense devoutly, cut a piece of candlelight to light up the sutra..."

Just as he was daydreaming, music started. Everyone listened with bated breath, and You Dongjie gradually immersed himself in the beautiful singing.

You Dongjie works in this field, so he naturally has a very high musical literacy. Maybe he can't write songs, but he has no problem listening to songs. At this moment, he can tell at one listen that Li Shuo's song is absolutely the best of the best!

"The lyrics and music are well coordinated, and the music flows smoothly. From the perspective of writing alone, the foundation is very solid, and from the perspective of singing, it is very professional...

After the song ended, Assistant Li, who was more professional in Xiao Mi's studio, sincerely praised: "Boss Li, did you buy this song? How much did it cost?"

Xu Xiaosa held his head high and said proudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a song written by Shuo Ge'er himself!"

"Ah? Mr. Li can also write songs?"

Assistant Li was a little surprised, and the way other people in the studio looked at Li Shuo also changed, especially some of the little girls, whose eyes turned into heart shapes when they looked at Li Shuo.

Li Shuo smiled and said to Yang Xiaomi: "If Sister Mi is satisfied, then this song will be confirmed. However, if we send it to the crew as the theme song, we need to change the male voice to a female voice, which will probably take some time..."

"Thank you, Brother Shuo"

Yang Xiaomi's face was full of smiles. The reason why the voice was changed to a female one was to let her sing it herself!

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Li Shuo asked, "Has there been any progress regarding Reba joining the crew?"

"Well, I'm talking to Teacher Li about this matter. Of course, there's no problem with it. It's mainly the interviewer below. You know, many things here are hard to explain..."

Yang Xiaomi hesitated, but her words gave plenty of hints.

Li Shuo frowned and said, "Does this require unspoken rules?"

Yang Xiaomi rolled her eyes at him and said, "The less important the role, the more people will use it to make a fuss, because those who pursue these roles are usually newcomers or people with no background, and such actors are the easiest to grasp."

Li Shuo asked back: "Are you a newcomer?"

Yang Xiaomi said: "Reba's role is not without weight, right? The competition is very fierce, so..."

Li Shuo interrupted directly: "I don't want to hear this, Sister Mi, just tell me if it can be done within two weeks. If not, then our cooperation..."

"Don't worry! I will definitely get it done for you in two weeks!"

……

It was already 5pm when Xiao Mi left the studio. Xu Xiaosa stayed behind, so only Li Shuo and You Dongjie came out.

After all this trouble, You Dongjie had a profound understanding of Li Shuo's power. After getting on the Bentley, his first words were: "Mr. Li's wide range of interpersonal relationships and great power have shocked You! Here, I want to apologize to Mr. Li for my previous behavior..."

This is the first time that You Dongjie has made a direct apology, and his sincerity is very strong.

Li Shuo nodded slightly and said, "What happened in the past is all in the past." Only then was the matter officially over.

Then, Li Shuo said, "Boss You, do you know why I am taking you to these places today?"

"why?"

"Because I am interested in cooperating with Mr. You. Although the scope of business cooperation between Shuoguo Culture and Mr. You is not wide, my partners can provide Mr. You with more than ten or a hundred times the current business volume!"

You Dongjie was a little excited, nodded and said: "That's right, then I have to thank Mr. Li for his support..."

"Don't be impatient. There are some things I need to make clear in advance. There is no benefit in this world that comes without a reason. Even if there is, it won't fall from the sky and hit you on the head!"

Li Shuo patted You Dongjie on the shoulder and said bluntly: "Mr. You did not retaliate against me on the spot for what happened yesterday, which is the fundamental reason why you can get these benefits. However, someone tried to sow discord between us and kept asking me to apologize, which made me very unhappy..."

You Dongjie's heart moved, and he asked, "Are you referring to Zhang Xiang?"

While saying this, his mind was racing: Zhang Xiang was indeed trying to be clever yesterday. His provocative words were actually very low-level. It's just that You Dongjie has a good relationship with him, so he doesn't care.

but!

The relationship was good only yesterday, but it is different today. Li Shuo has terrifying power and is willing to support me. If I can have Li Shuo as a backer, wouldn't I be a thousand times better than Zhang Xiang?

Li Shuo said expressionlessly, "I wonder if Mr. You still remembers the project "The Temptation of Returning Home" that I mentioned when I was chatting with President Yang of the Art Association just now?"

You Dongjie was shocked, and in a flash, he decided to sell out Zhang Xiang and the Century Huayue behind him!

"I know. Temptation to Return Home is a recent investment project of Century Huayue. The founder of this company is Zhang Nianhua, who is Zhang Xiang's father. He also has some business dealings with me..."

You Dongjie's introduction was even more detailed than what the secretariat had gathered. He even directly exposed Century Huayue's past:

Zhang Nianhua graduated from Leng Yin and stayed on as a lecturer for a while. In 05, he resigned and set up a company. Mainly relying on Leng Yin's relationship, he took on some film and television dubbing, music and other projects. The company is mainly based on cultural assets, so it is not large in scale. This time it invested 2000 million in "The Temptation to Return Home", half of which was even a loan!

"...It can be said that this is the most risky investment Zhang Nianhua has made since he founded the company. In fact, there are many voices of opposition within the company. However, Zhang Nianhua is eager to expand the company's business scope from music to film and television, so he took a bold step..."

After listening to this, Li Shuo thought about it based on the information he knew, and finally whispered to You Dongjie: "I don't need you to do too much. I just need you to persuade Zhang Nianhua to withdraw from the "Temptation of Returning Home" project at certain times. Specifically..."

You Dongjie listened to it with a trembling heart, and only one thought remained in his mind: This Li Shuo is definitely a super second-generation who has never suffered any loss and grew up in a compound. Damn, this guy is too narrow-minded! Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang, you can't imagine what happened to yourself and even your family because of your provocative words yesterday...
