America's Top Player

Chapter 46 Waste Inspiration
After returning to his home on Henry Street, Li Ang immediately contacted an agency to seek qualified financial managers.

At the same time, Bonnie also posted this recruitment information on the official channel of Apocalypse Music.

The salaries of certified public accountants in New York are outrageous, with senior certified public accountants typically making over $15 a year.

As a newly established record company, it does not need such senior financial personnel at all. Such talents are generally recruited by the Big Four accounting firms.

For example, Liam, the financial director of T-ray Panther Records, has no accounting qualifications, but he can even deal with criminal groups.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Ang's recruitment requirements for the financial director are: a certified public accountant with certain work experience, women are preferred.

Standing in front of the French window overlooking the night view of the East River, Leon muttered to himself: "Maybe I should move the company address as well."

As the label grew, Phil's old office could no longer fully meet the company's office needs.

Apart from the recording studio, the total office area is only 500 square feet.

"Leon, what are you thinking about?"

Just as Leon was immersed in thinking about life, Bonnie walked out of her room holding a yoga mat.

In order to take better care of Li Ang's daily life, the caring assistant moved into his apartment three days ago.

Although he refused again and again, he could not resist Bonnie's enthusiasm. The woman showed the strong attitude she had before Leon became famous.

However, after spending three days together, Li Ang did not feel any discomfort.

His schedule is basically filled with various commercial performances and promotional activities, and he rarely stays at home.

After having Bonnie, at least he was guaranteed three meals a day during the time he was at home.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?" Li Ang turned around and took a closer look, almost dropping his cigarette. "WTF are you doing?"

"It's called yoga, and every girl in New York is talking about it right now~"

Li Ang is not unfamiliar with yoga. "Yoga" means "Puxi" in Hindi, and "Jia" means "Dick" in Hindi.

This thing is actually the same thing as the ancient secret art of sex in the East, but it crossed the ocean and came to capitalist society and became a compulsory course for upper-class ladies.

"I can understand yoga, but at least you have to put on your clothes first." Li Ang said helplessly after taking a deep puff of cigarette.

Bonnie had now released all the seals on her body. Her fair skin was covered with beads of sweat, and waves of heat were rising around her body.

"This is called nude yoga, and it's the best way to detoxify your body."

"Look, this pose is called Downward Dog."

As she said this, Bonnie lay on the ground in a posture that was so shameful that it made people smack their lips.

"Que"

Seeing this, Li Ang understood that this was the assistant's way of asking for another "salary".

As soon as he put out his cigarette, Bonnie wrapped around him like a snake, and the two figures started a brutal battle comparable to the "Verdun meat grinder" in front of the French window.

After the war, Bonnie fell asleep lying in front of the French window.

Li Ang lit a cigarette as usual, and at this time a strange melody appeared in his head.

Today is the 11th, a day of refreshing inspiration.

You were the shadow to my life
You are a shadow in the light of my life

Did you feel us
Can you still feel each other's warmth?
Another start
Want to start over

You fade away
But I'm drifting away from you
Strong electronic music style, avant-garde arrangement.
This is exactly the so-called future trend that Leon and Phil discussed not long ago.
When the melody faded away, the chorus was still playing in an endless loop in his mind.

“This is so brainwashing.”

Although Li Ang knows nothing about electronic music, he can make a rough judgment on whether a song will become popular just by listening to it once.

The melody of "tik tok" can make people dance along even after listening to it only once. There is no reason why such a work would not be popular.

Obviously the arrangement of "faded" is more advanced and the synthesized audio is more complex, but the only problem is
The original version given by Inspiration Refresh was sung by a woman.

Unwilling to give up, Li Ang cleared his throat and tried to sing it again, but the sound he made was like the moans of a ladyboy whose anus was penetrated, which even he himself felt disgusted.

The last time he was inspired to create a collaborative work, he went to great lengths to find Kendrick for collaboration, but this time it was even more outrageous, as he was given a work that he was completely unable to perform.

Li Ang seemed a little annoyed, but he had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

Three days later, Leon appeared at Kennedy International Airport with Phil and Bonnie, about to depart for Los Angeles.

Phil kept swearing during the ride: "F**K, you are so stingy! As a record company boss and a singer who has been on Billboard, you actually choose to fly economy class."

Li Ang could only helplessly spread his hands every time.

The company is still in its early stages and now is the time to burn money.

According to the resumes of job seekers sent by the agency, most job seekers with CPA certificates expect a salary of around $100,000.

If the office relocation is added, the more than 200,000 US dollars just earned from the sales of Cardi B's first album will not be able to withstand the turmoil.

At this time, a tall blonde stewardess walked past Leon, and her shiny black stockings immediately attracted Phil's attention.

The flight attendant looked incredulous. "Oh my goodness! Are you Mr. Li Ang, the street-seller?"

"Yes miss."

"I can't believe I see you here."

This Delta Airlines flight attendant demonstrated excellent professionalism, and what she meant was that she couldn't believe a singer would choose economy class.

Li Ang smiled knowingly and said, "I follow the mass line, which is one of the reasons why my fans support me."

"By the way, can I have two glasses of wine for this old gentleman next to me?"

"Whiskey, preferably. I hope I don't hear from him again until the plane lands."

"No problem sir! Just a moment!"

After the flight attendant left, Phil rolled his eyes at Leon and said, "If you were born 200 years ago, you would have been the most cruel slave owner."

Li Ang took this as a compliment and said with a smile, "The accompaniment for my new song 'Faded' should have been completed."

Phil shook his head. "It's not that simple. Some synthesized audio is too complex and requires the most professional DJ to complete."

"Come to think of it, you don't understand why electronic music can create such works?"

Li Ang was speechless and didn't know how to answer the old fox's question.

He could only attribute this to a gift from God. Some people are born with absolute pitch and can immediately hear the combined tones in any chord, no matter how complex it is.

"You know what, man. Talent is something you can't explain."
