This time, Ke Zhihui came to see his boss for the future of his artists.

Who knew that the boss, Zheng Donghan, wasn't worried at all. He quickly reminded her, "Boss Zheng, Zhou Huimin's rumored boyfriend is Ni Zhen, a well-known petty person. He even has a magazine in his hand. Liu Ximing is almost out of business because of his scolding.

If the news of their relationship comes out again, I'm worried that Ni Zhen will take action against Cao Jian, affecting his career prospects."

As the boss of PolyGram, Zheng Donghan certainly knows the situation.

He smiled and said, "Zhihui, I understand your concerns, but what's Ni Zhen? He dared to deal with Liu Ximing. If he dared to use the same method against Cao Jian, do you think we wouldn't dare to fight back? Do you think we PolyGram are just sitting there doing nothing?"

"But boss, I'm worried that Ni Zhenhui might resort to underhanded tactics."

"This... we have to be on guard."

This reminded Zheng Donghan, and he immediately said, "Pay Cao Jian an extra 30,000 Hong Kong dollars a month and let him hire two bodyguards to protect himself."

After that, he added, "Also, don't tell anyone about him and Zhou Huimin dating for now, but you should secretly support them being together."

"support?"

Ke Zhihui is a relatively young agent, and he was even more confused when he heard this.

Other companies are worried about their artists falling in love, but as a boss, I not only don’t object, I even support it?
Cao Jian, you are so lucky that the company allows you to pick up girls openly.

The main reason is the great beauties like Zhou Huimin.

I'm jealous.

He didn't know what to say, so he agreed, "I understand. I'll write a salary increase report and send it to you later."

"Got it. Anything else?"

"Mr. Zheng, Cao Jian just wrote a song that I think has the potential to be even more popular than 'The Sea,' and the lyrics are available in both Mandarin and English."

"There's an English version? He can write English songs?"

Now, Zheng Donghan was no longer calm.

He originally thought that Cao Jian's advantage was Mandarin songs, which would help him open up the mainland market.

But I never thought that Cao Jian could even write English songs.

If it is true, as long as he sings well, Cao Jian can be promoted internationally, even to Europe and the United States.

He stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

The two came to Zhou Zhiping's office and found that Cao Jian, Zhou Huimin, Zhou Zhiping and Ou Dingyu were all there.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng."

Generally speaking, unless there is something serious, the boss will not show up much.

When a few people saw the boss, they guessed that he must have come because of the song "Kiss Goodbye".

Zhou Zhiping just said that this song does have greater potential to sell well than "The Sea", especially since there is an English version.

Zheng Donghan nodded to everyone and said to Cao Jian, "Xiao Cao, can you write English songs?"

"My English is OK. I can write."

"Can you sing?"

"It should be possible, otherwise I wouldn't have written the English version of 'Goodbye Kiss'."

Cao Jian also did not deny that it would be the best thing if he could become famous all over the world.

When Zhou Huimin, who was standing by, heard this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Cao Jian was different from before.

What on earth can't you do?

Not only can he write, but he can also sing, and his first album was a big hit.

Writing books, now "A Step into the Past" has become the best novel in Hong Kong in the second half of the year.

I used to say that I couldn’t act, but now I have the opportunity to act in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and work with director Xu Ke.

Now I can even write English songs.
It seems that except for the lack of a publishing house, he is better than Ni Zhenqiang in every other aspect.

If he really pursues me and treats me well like other men, maybe I will agree.
But you always treat me with contempt and bully me.

Bad guy!

snort!
When Zheng Donghan heard that Cao Jianzhen could write English songs, he already started thinking about how to push him into the international music scene.

Although the markets of Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China are already huge, PolyGram Hong Kong's reputation would be even greater if Europe and the United States were added. After all, PolyGram is a foreign-owned company.

As long as they can make good use of Cao Jian, even if they can't compete with Sony, which owns Michael Jackson, they might be able to compete with Universal.

He watched Cao Jian's new song "Goodbye Kiss" and found that as Ke Zhihui said, this song is definitely very popular in the market.

"You must record this song 'Kiss Goodbye' to the highest standard."

After making the arrangements, Zheng Donghan said to Cao Jian, "Come out for a moment."

When the two of them arrived at the door, he thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Cao, I'll give you an extra 50,000 Hong Kong dollars a month. You can hire three bodyguards, and it would be best if you could buy a bigger house that's safer."

Given Cao Jian's market potential, he suddenly felt that two bodyguards were a bit too few, and three was about right, so he added more bodyguards to ensure safety.

"bodyguard?"

Cao Jian was stunned. Did Ke Zhihui just say something to the boss?
Do you know what happened between me and Zhou Huimin and are you afraid that Ni Zhen will deal with me?
Boss, you really realized it too late. If I hadn't been quick-witted, I might not have been able to sing. Now you only think about my safety?
However, an extra salary of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars per month seems good, and for safety reasons, it is indeed necessary to hire bodyguards.

Cao Jian agreed: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I will arrange it in the next two days."

"If you have any difficulties, tell me."

Zheng Donghan nodded and said with a smile, "A beautiful lady is always a good match for a gentleman. If you really like Zhou Huimin, you can date her. PolyGram will be your backing. Don't worry about that Ni Zhen."

"Ah."

Cao Jian was delighted. With the boss's support, what else was there to worry about?
Besides, Ni Zhen is just a paper tiger, and he is not afraid of him at all.

After Zheng Donghan left, Cao Jian returned to the recording studio and began to study the arrangement and production of "Goodbye Kiss" with Ou Dingyu and others.

Zhou Huimin's album has been recorded. I have nothing to do these two days, so I just watch it from the side.

"Senior, I think the middle part should be accompanied by the erhu. This will make it sound more melancholic and sad, and the effect will be better."

Arrangement is very important for a song and it is also a complicated process. When several people discussed it, Cao Jian put forward his own suggestions.

Zhou Zhiping looked at the melody, then recalled the timbre of the erhu, and immediately said, "Xiao Cao, this is a good suggestion!"

"I'll try."

Cao Jian asked someone to bring the erhu and immediately played out the melody in the middle of the song.

"It's absolutely amazing! It's absolutely amazing!"

The two producers slapped their thighs excitedly and became more and more confident about this song.

Zhou Huimin sat aside, not saying anything, but just kept looking at Cao Jian.

Although he was flirted with, the way he looked at Cao Jian now was clearly filled with admiration, an admiration he had never had for Ni Zhen before.

Cao Jian finished playing this part and put down his erhu: "But for the English version, I need to use bass."

It took the whole morning to decide on the general direction of the arrangement, and the rest of the work was naturally completed by Zhou Zhiping and his team.

Once the final music comes out, Cao Jian just needs to modify any problematic parts before he can record it.

However, he thought that he would be very busy in the future, as he would not only be filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but also record songs when he had time. It was urgent to get Zhou Huimin to work as soon as possible.

"Miss Zhou, I'll treat you to dinner later. After dinner, let's go to my company together."

To pick up girls, dating is a must, and it also allows the other party to see your strength, so Cao Jian made an invitation.

"Going to your company? What's there to see?"

Zhou Huimin refused stubbornly, but actually she hoped Cao Jian would coax her.

"Love goes or doesn't go!"

Cao Jiancai couldn't tolerate this woman's bad habits, so he went out with his bag on his back.

"wait for me!"

Zhou Huimin is almost mad at this bad man. You want to ask me out, but you don’t have any sincerity at all?

But when Cao Jian was leaving, she still followed him happily.

Since Cao Jian is so good at writing lyrics and composing music, I must arrange a song for him today.

When he arrived at the garage, Cao Jian did not go to Zhou Huimin's second-hand Mercedes-Benz, but opened a brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

"Is this car yours?"

Seeing that this new car was exactly the one she had seen through the window that morning, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but touch it.
