Has the president updated his post today?

Su Chao snickered for a long time, and finally heard the sound of Meng Xingchi putting down the box, then turned his head and saw that he had finished eating.

Looks like he's starving.

"Are you still hungry?" Su Chao said, "We still have snacks in the car, those with zero fat and no weight gain, do you want them?"

Meng Xingchi waved his hand, he was afraid that he would finish all the snacks when he got excited, what else would he have for dinner later?

"Here we are." The assistant parked the car on the side of the road, not far from a musical instrument store.

Su Chao put on his backpack and sunglasses again, and turned around to ask, "Mr. Meng, are you waiting for me in the car, or are you going to have a look together?"

Of course, Meng Xingchi wanted to accompany him, and there were not many opportunities to go shopping with the little idol.

Rounding up, it is a date (/ω＼)

"Then let's hurry up." Su Chao strode forward, worried about being secretly photographed, and pulled his arm forward.

The next moment, Meng Xingchi started to trot, as if someone behind him was chasing debts, running faster than anyone else.

Su Chao: "..." It doesn't have to be like this, it's more eye-catching, okay?

Fortunately, the shop was not far from the roadside, passers-by could only feel the two long-legged men blowing by like a gust of wind, and they disappeared from sight before they had time to look at their backs.

The clerk greeted them warmly: "What musical instrument do you want to choose?"

This question was asked to Meng Xingchi who was closest to her, Meng Xingchi responded indifferently, and went around to the other side of Su Chao silently.

Clerk: "..." Understood, it's a clever mouth that is afraid of our iron-blooded sales.

Su Chao was looking around in the store and didn't notice his behavior, so he replied, "I want to find a guitar suitable for beginners."

"Here." The clerk led them through the corridor and into one of the guitar rooms. He picked up a guitar and was about to introduce it. Su Chao took it and politely said, "Please let us have a look."

The clerk froze for a moment: "OK."

Su Chao skillfully plucked the strings to listen to the tone, played a few times, then put it down, and then tried a few guitars, all of which were not satisfied, and asked, "Is there any more expensive ones?"

"Yes." The clerk's eyes lit up, and he immediately pointed to the most expensive guitars, "Those are all expensive, and the sound quality is particularly good."

Su Chao tried it one after another and played a tune.

It's a pity that it stopped abruptly halfway through.

The taciturn Meng Xingchi finally couldn't help but speak: "It's very nice, why don't you continue?"

"Does it sound good?" Su Chao looked at him expectantly, "Aren't you being polite to me?"

"Not bad, and I haven't heard of this before." Meng Xingchi said.

"Because this is a new one I made recently, and I haven't finished it yet, so I can't continue." Su Chao pursed his lips, feeling depressed.

Meng Xingchi asked again: "Why can't we continue?"

"Sir, what do you think of this one?" The clerk looked at him expectantly.

"It's okay." Su Chao was troubled, "Is there any discount?"

The clerk was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect these two big money who seemed to be quite rich, would they come to bargain?

The clerk smiled and said, "My dear, this price cannot be lowered."

As soon as the words fell, the clerk felt a look of resentment, from the man who had never spoken to her, looking at her mercilessly.

"?" What's wrong, what did she say wrong?

Meng Xingchi: How dare you call me dear!

"It's still a bit expensive." Su Chao smiled helplessly at the clerk, then turned his head and said to Meng Xingchi in a discussion tone, "I think the one in front is more cost-effective."

Meng Xingchi:?

I did see another one on the way here just now, but I haven’t gone in, have I?

Clerk:! !

The store 50 meters ahead is their sworn enemy!

"Wait a minute, I'll go and apply for you to see if there is any discount." The clerk immediately ran into the office inside to ask.

Meng Xingchi glanced at him, took out his phone, "I'll do it."

"Don't." Su Chao immediately pressed his hand and pulled him aside, "Trust me, I will definitely get a discount, it's just a routine."

Meng Xingchi stared at his hand, he almost took it, his legs softened for a moment, he took a few steps back, and half leaned on the table behind him to stand still.

Su Chao stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Xingchi murmured: "No..." It's just too comfortable!

Soon, the clerk ran out and said generously: "The boss said that he can give you another [-]% off for the handsome guy."

"[-]% off..." Su Chao thought for a long time, and when the clerk was most nervous, he said again, "Then do you give away courses? This is for my sister, who just started college , the living expenses are not much. If she studies well, she can bring other students to buy it."

"..." The clerk thought for a while, college students can spread the word ten to ten, but they are good leeks: "Okay, you must ask your sister to bring the classmates to have a look, the quality of our things is not bad .”

"no problem."

Su Chao paid the money and left, handed over the guitar and lesson coupons to the assistant, and asked him to deliver them to Su Xi.

After the car left, Su Chao looked at the time. It was almost time for dinner. If it was later, there would be too many people. He suggested: "There is a restaurant in front, and the taste is not bad. Do you want to try Mr. Meng?"

"Ah."

On the way to the restaurant, Meng Xingchi recalled the scene in the store just now, and couldn't help but worry about his financial situation: "Did the original company deduct your salary?"

"No." Su Chao smiled and frowned, "It's just that I'm used to it, and the money should be spent on important things."

"An important place?"

"Yes, for example... invite you to dinner."

Meng Xingchi:!

Really good at talking, poking at people's hearts!

As soon as he returned to the mentality of a fan, he would forget that he was the boss, he hesitated and dared not look directly at others, and could only secretly be happy.

As Su Chao was walking, he found that Meng Xingchi had fallen behind him again at some point, so he led the way ahead: "We'll be there soon."

I went to an old-fashioned private restaurant. The lobby on the first floor is equipped with rockery and flowing water, and the tables, chairs and screens are all carved with wood.

The security is good, and there are many private rooms, which is very convenient for various celebrities to have private dinners.

The KDL people often come here to eat, and the store manager is very familiar with them. As soon as he saw Su Chao, he came up to greet him, took him to the innermost private room on the second floor, and said familiarly: "Didn't you come with your teammates today? "

"Well, let's bring a new friend, let's serve a few signature dishes first." Su Chao laughed.

Meng Xingchi sat down opposite him, watched him chatting with the manager for a while, and couldn't help being a little envious of such a cheerful person who could socialize normally with everyone.

"That handsome guy, do you have any taboos?" The manager suddenly asked Meng Xingchi.

Meng Xingchi immediately wrote the draft: no chopped green onion, no onion, no too spicy, less salt and less oil, tender vegetables and eggs, freshest meat, sweet dessert...

The manager didn't wait for an answer, and continued to ask: "Is it okay to fry beef with onions?"

Meng Xingchi: "..." No onions!

"Stir-fried beef with onions is our chef's specialty. Don't think it sounds homely, but in fact the taste is very particular..."

The manager started talking endlessly, Meng Xingchi quickly nodded to stop him from continuing: "Okay."

"Okay." The manager closed the door for them, "Then I'll go to the kitchen to place your order myself."

After Su Chao poured two cups of tea, he handed Meng Xingchi a cup.

Meng Xingchi took it flattered, took a few sips obediently, and finished it without paying attention.

Meng Xingchi: "..." So embarrassing.

"You're thirsty." Su Chao smiled, poured it for him again, and then took off his sunglasses. Seeing that the other party was still reluctant to take off his sunglasses, he thought it was a problem with swollen eyes, so he couldn't help staring at him a few times.

Meng Xingchi couldn't accept such an undisguised gaze, and continued to drink tea, and slowly lowered his head, not daring to raise it for a long time.

Until the teacup is empty again.

Su Chao filled another glass for him: "Do you want a drink?"

"No need." Meng Xingchi put down the glass, put his hands on his knees, pinched his thighs quietly, and then brought up the unfinished topic just now: "Why can't you continue to play the piece you played?"

Whether it's from the standpoint of a fan or the boss, he really wants to know the whole story. If someone dares to stop the little idol from making a song, hehe, then he must let that person know what a pot is made of iron.

"Because I..." Su Chao hesitated for a moment, the new leader was sitting opposite, and his friendship was not deep enough to talk about everything, and it was a little difficult to say, at least for him at the current stage Said, is a bit ashamed.

At this time, Meng Xingchi finally took off his sunglasses, looked directly into his eyes, and said softly, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I just feel a little pity. That song is pretty good."

Su Chao's eyes trembled slightly, he rubbed his face, his cheeks were slightly red, he put his hands under the table, rubbed nervously, and admitted his failure to others for the first time: "I have encountered a creative bottleneck, I seem to think highly of myself I can’t complete a good work by myself.”

"First time?"

"Yeah." Su Chao sighed, as if a little embarrassed.

"Do you have a backup? Can you listen to it?"

"Yes." Su Chao clicked on the audio in the phone, put it on the table, and the melody rang.

After listening carefully, Meng Xingchi clicked the replay again.

Su Chao looked at him nervously, but the other party remained motionless, unable to detect any emotional changes at all.

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came to deliver the food.Putting the food on the table, she was about to leave when a man called out to her: "Wait."

"Anything else?" the waiter asked.

Su Chao also looked at Meng Xingchi suspiciously.

At this time, Meng Xingchi had a businesslike attitude and asked the waiter, "Listen to this."

"Ah?" The waiter was confused, and then heard the melody for more than a minute. Before he could hear anything, it ended, "Why is it gone? Do you have to pay to become a member?"

Meng Xingchi asked, "Does it sound good?"

"It sounds good."

"Thank you."

The waiter left in a daze, and Meng Xingchi returned the phone: "Did you hear that? Everyone thinks it sounds good."

"Everyone?"

"Well... and me."

Su Chao's face was a little hot, he picked up the remote control of the air conditioner to lower the temperature, and then asked: "Really?"

Meng Xingchi nodded, not knowing what he thought of, looked down at the desktop, and suddenly said, "When I first took over the company, I hadn't graduated yet."

Su Chao didn't know why he brought this up, so he listened quietly.

"My father had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and he left very suddenly. The shareholders were eager to move, and the opponents were watching. I was worried that I didn't control the situation well. I wanted to take care of everything and take care of the interests of all parties. I hope everyone can be satisfied."

Meng Xingchi paused for a moment, and continued: "A few shareholders have left, investment has also been withdrawn, and technicians have been poached frequently. I just realized that no matter how hard I try, it is impossible for everyone to agree. I am satisfied with my job."

Su Chao saw him talking about the past in a calm manner, but he could imagine how difficult the situation was to control at that time, so he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration.

"No one can satisfy everyone. All we can do is to win the support of more people." Meng Xingchi raised his head, looked him in the eyes and said, "Music is the same."

Su Chao's pupils trembled slightly, as if he understood his deep meaning.

"Music has an audience." Meng Xingchi said, "In your melody, I heard the transformation of several instruments, not only the visual sense of country music, but also the combination of classical music... .I understand your determination to make this work well, but you might as well reconsider your audience and the music you really want to make?"

Su Chao seemed to be enlightened, and finally realized his problem. He didn't know too little about the world as he told the teacher. On the contrary, he just wanted too much.

Because since his debut, he has been regarded as a talented singer by his teammates and fans, but there is a lot of pressure hidden behind this seemingly honorable title.

It was the first time he tried to create, and he wanted to meet the needs of the team's singing and dancing, meet the expectations of fans, and also wanted to raise his intentions so that other listeners could feel the depth of the music.

He has been looking for a more suitable instrument, searching for unusually unpopular ones, and thought about using onomatopoeia instead.

But in the final analysis, these are all to create a profound illusion.So that when the audience hears this song, they will feel that the singer is really amazing.

He wanted to please all his listeners, and to live up to those who had high hopes for "genius."

But in this way, instead of losing the original intention of creation, it will stagnate in the most important part of the chorus.

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Meng! I'll redo it when I get back tonight!" Su Chao suddenly became enlightened, and his heart that had been blocked all this time finally saw the light. He gratefully put vegetables in Meng Xingchi's bowl, "Mr. Meng quickly Vegetables don't taste good when they're cold... But, don't you think I'm pretty useless?"

"No, it's true."

Out of the light of the spotlight, the little idol who would be troubled and lost is more real and lively. Meng Xingchi feels that he is one step closer to him!

After a while, hills piled up in the bowl, Meng Xingchi said: "Your fans are still waiting for your new song." Including me.

"Yeah, I'll definitely do it this time!"

Meng Xingchi took a look at him, and seeing a confident smile on his face again, he also bent the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

Su Chao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled even more happily: "Mr. Meng, you just said a lot in one breath."

Meng Xingchi: Yes!

Would it be more calm to face Su Chao as the boss?

Su Chao propped one arm on the table, propped his chin, leaned forward a little, looked straight into his eyes, sighed in his heart, "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, so beautiful", and asked with a smile: "President Meng, why did you buy it?" Our company?"

Meng Xingchi couldn't bear such a sincere and hot gaze, so he took out his sunglasses and put them on again.

Su Chao: ...?

"because of you......"

Su Chao was taken aback for a moment, forgetting how to react, and the sound of his heartbeat was a little off.

"...We are worth it." Meng Xingchi added with difficulty.
