Chapter 60, Becoming the Big and Small Kings [Requesting First Order]

Zeng Xiaolai tilted his head to look at Shen Lingyou, raised his hand to tuck the hair beside his ear, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lingyou narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying: "I just want to ask, do you have any ideas about debuting?"

Zeng Xiaolai looked at him in confusion after hearing this, not knowing why he asked this, but still answered, "I haven't thought about it yet. I've only been in college for one semester and I haven't learned how to perform yet. If I'm anxious to debut, I'll only put myself in a very passive state. I should study hard first."

Shen Lingyou said "Oh", looked into her eyes, and asked seriously, "Would you resist debuting as a singer?"

Zeng Xiaolai raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had guessed what he meant, and said, "If you want me to help you sing a demo song, just tell me. I won't refuse. I've been fooled by you so many times anyway."

Shen Lingyou saw that she had misunderstood, smiled awkwardly, and explained: "That's not what I meant. I am planning to register a company. First, it will be convenient for me to release albums and film movies, and second, it will sign some artists for development..."

After hearing what he said, Zeng Xiaolai understood and immediately interrupted, "Are you trying to sign me to your company?"

"Yes." Shen Lingyou was very frank. He signed the few people he wanted to sign early, and then said, "You are good at singing Peking Opera, so I will write a few songs that can be sung in the opera style and let you debut as a singer. When you are well-known and have learned acting skills, you can take on roles when you want to."

When Zeng Xiaolai heard that he wanted her to debut as a singer, she immediately wanted to say that she couldn't sing, but then she thought that he would definitely lecture her on all sorts of issues, and she would definitely be fooled in the end. The outcome seemed to be predetermined, so she could only say, "You...please give me some time to think about it."

Shen Lingyou said softly: "I am not forcing you to make a choice in this matter, just follow your heart, anything is fine."

Zeng Xiaolai smiled and said, "I know."

When she reached the stairwell on the second floor, she asked Shen Lingyou to wait here for a while, and then she hurried upstairs.

Shen Lingyou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

After waiting for a few minutes, Zeng Xiaolai came running downstairs with a black plastic bag in his hand. Seeing that there was no one around, he said, "I knitted a scarf for you. I originally wanted to finish it for you in winter, but my hands are clumsy, so I didn't finish it until I went home for the New Year. If you think it's ugly, just throw it away." After that, he stuffed the black plastic bag into his hand and ran upstairs without looking back.

Shen Lingyou's lips curled up slightly with a faint smile. He glanced at the empty corridor, took the black plastic bag, returned to his dormitory, put his things away, and took his mobile phone to the flower bed downstairs to make a call.

The first call was to Chen Jiantian. I had returned to Hangzhou to wish him a happy new year. Now I want to ask him to have lunch with me tomorrow. I want him to have a portion of the local specialties I brought with me. But he was still in Hong Kong and would return to Yanjing in half a month.

The second call was to Huo Wenxi, asking her if she had finished dealing with things in Hong Kong and when she would come to Yanjing. It turned out that she had come on the eighth day of the New Year and was currently staying at the Jingxi Hotel. It was a perfect opportunity, so I could take her place at lunch tomorrow.

The third call I wanted to make was to Jiang Qinqin, but then I thought that Beijing Film Academy also had the same start time, and she would probably have left home or arrived at school by now. If I wasn't busy tomorrow afternoon, I would go directly to Beijing Film Academy to find her.

Going back to school means starting school and starting work.

The next day, early in the morning.

While his roommate was still asleep, Shen Lingyou washed up and went out. He first went to the driving school to inquire about the process of the driving test. What he didn't expect was that there would be so many people learning to drive in this era, and the queue would be two months later.

In the 1990s, the economy began to develop rapidly, and the urgent demand for private cars increased. More people wanted to learn to drive and get a driver's license, but there were not enough driving schools, which led to long queues.

However, there is a saying that money makes the world go round.

In short, Shen Lingyou registered, paid the money, and just had to wait for the driving school's notification to learn how to drive.

After leaving the driving school, I went to the relevant department to learn about the process of registering a company. After asking, I found out that I must have a formal office location.

I could use a rented house or the house I live in, but when I move to a new place later, I would have to make another trip, which is quite troublesome. So I simply called Jiang Hu and asked him to help me find a four-story villa within the second or third ring road. He is efficient and it won't take much time.

However, if this happens, the money you earn will almost reach the bottom.

When Chen Jiantian comes back, he will get a considerable share of the profits. It will be a little more this time, but it will be less and less in the future.

I've been running for the whole morning and I'm exhausted. If I hadn't exercised regularly after taking over this body, I wouldn't have been able to bear it.

At noon, I found a small restaurant and chatted with Huo Wenxi while eating.

Shen Lingyou was afraid that she couldn't eat spicy food, so he specially ordered light-flavored dishes.

People from Hangzhou are among those who cannot eat spicy food, but he is an exception. Perhaps it is because he has traveled around with his parents since he was a child and has eaten a variety of cuisines. If the Sichuan people's spicy food tolerance level is set at 10, then he can eat 6 or 7.

"boss……"

"You can call me by my name or 'Ling You', it's all fine. I'm only 19 years old, and I'm not used to being called boss."

"Okay, Ling You, I returned to Yanjing early. I planned to help you get some endorsements or advertisements, but they didn't believe I was your agent. They all thought I was a liar. I had no choice but to learn Mandarin in the hotel room."

Shen Lingyou couldn't help laughing after hearing what happened to Huo Wenxi. He said, "I didn't think it through. Let's find an opportunity to show our story to the media. If it's in the newspapers and magazines, no one will disbelieve it."

Huo Wenxi nodded. This should have been done earlier. The peak period of commercial performances during the Spring Festival was wasted. He continued, "The response to Compendium of Materia Medica did not meet expectations. It was my mistake. I boasted at the time..."

Shen Lingyou interrupted her and said, "It's not your fault. It's a niche music genre, and it's a special situation. It's good enough to be ranked 20th or 30th. Now go to work and school as usual. Wait and see, maybe a miracle will happen."

Huo Wenxi added: "I have a little gossip. Many singers in Hong Kong will release songs to celebrate Hong Kong's return, including superstars. Will the two songs "Love Each Other" and "I Love You China" still be released as planned?"

Shen Lingyou thought for a moment and realized that the two songs were indeed not that good enough to be on the charts. One had to be very competitive to be on the charts, so he said, "Then let's do this. 'Love Each Other' will be postponed to July 7, and 'I Love You China' will be released on National Day. I'll pick two new songs this month and next month."

He was determined to get this special opportunity, and in order to get to the top of the music charts, he had to become the king.
