Chapter 38 A Friend's Wine
Huang Yiliang originally wanted to cooperate with Huang Haidong, with the father and son working together to fool President Zhang, but after seeing that his father alone was about to seduce President Zhang, he had no choice but to give up!
It's not exactly honorable to be a hypocrite.
When Zhao Benshan tricked Fan Wei into buying crutches, it was a one-on-one session; he didn't bring his wife along.
"Uncle Zhang, you all go ahead with your work. I need to speak with the owner here, so I'll be leaving now."
Huang Yiliang handed the song he wrote for General Manager Zhang to Huang Haidong.
"Hey—! Bro, Xiao Liang said he's looking for the boss. Isn't the boss you mentioned Wang Fei's top music producer, that... you know?" Mr. Zhang said curiously, "Didn't he say he was busy?"
"Uh—!" Huang Haidong was also stunned. He had no idea that his son knew Zhang Yadong.
In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Huang Haidong knew very little about his son except for giving him money.
Huang Yiliang was being bullied by older students for the first time, but he didn't know it.
He was unaware that this was the first time he had been physically punished by his teacher.
He was unaware that he had a crush on his female teacher for the first time.
He didn't even know it when he first curled up in a corner, crying so hard he wanted to hurt himself.
Of course, Huang Yiliang's own personality played a part in this; he was not the kind of person who would let others discover his weaknesses, even if the other party was his father.
However, it is also true that Huang Haidong does not care enough about his son.
"Brother Liang is a good friend of our boss. Our boss canceled all his work appointments just to wait for Brother Liang," explained an assistant at Zhang Yadong Music Studio.
"Brother Liang's musical talent is amazing!" Another assistant exaggeratedly gave a thumbs up; he was the unlucky guy who was woken up in the middle of the night to record.
Huang Haidong was shocked.
Seriously?! Is my son really that amazing?
Wouldn't that mean I could ask Zhang Yadong to help produce my three songs?
"Brother Huang, should we wait for the boss, or let these two young men record?" Boss Zhang looked at Huang Haidong.
Huang Haidong hesitated.
"Well, bosses, our bosses' work schedules are booked up for a month from now. You can leave your type of songs to us, it'll be just as good."
"Of course, if you're willing to wait, that's fine too!" the studio assistant said objectively.
Huang Haidong spent five thousand yuan at the music academy to buy five songs for Boss Zhang.
"We can't wait, we need it right away." Mr. Zhang immediately rejected the studio assistant's suggestion.
"By the way, what do you guys think of the song Xiao Liang gave us?" Mr. Zhang asked curiously.
The studio assistant took the leather bag from Huang Haidong.
《朋友的酒》
Yesterday is gone and will never return.
Happiness is more precious than anything else.
Spilled water cannot be recovered
When the peach blossoms fade, roses will bloom.
Life is a journey of ups and downs, and there will always be storms to accompany you.
Tonight, let's go to the party in style and drink until we drop!
No regrets about the past, just savor it slowly.
This glass of wine, my friend, is the most precious thing right now...
"How is it?" Mr. Zhang asked impatiently.
"Uh—!" The studio assistant's expression was hard to describe.
If he didn't know Wong Yat-leung, this would just be a straightforward internet pop song. But he personally experienced the whole process of Wong Yat-leung creating "The World" and "My Dear You".
Could this be just a hobby project by Brother Liang? Was it just to appease this country bumpkin boss?
Hmm! This country bumpkin boss, giving him a song of "The World" level, what's the difference between that and ruining something good?
That's practically a crime.
The studio assistant suddenly realized.
"This song is great, much better than those five cobbled-together songs you collected. The lyrics, uh, are straightforward, catchy, and sincere. The melody is also good. If it were made into a single, it should be a hit. I can record it for you today."
This assistant was savvy and knew how to navigate social situations; he quickly spun all the compliments he could find within seconds.
Little did he know that this song would one day become one of the most beloved pieces of music among the elderly people in the square.
"Let's record it! You two have worked hard."
Mr. Zhang directly handed over money, giving each person a red envelope containing three thousand yuan.
"This was given privately, not by your company. Your company should still receive whatever amount it is due."
"Thank you, boss!" The two assistants were overjoyed, and now they truly understood.
With Mr. Zhang being so generous, it's no wonder Brother Liang wrote a song for him.
Looking back now, the song "Friends' Wine" might actually be quite suitable for a boss as bold and generous as Mr. Zhang.
"Hey guys, after you finish this song, could you sing it once first, and then I'll sing along?" Mr. Zhang immediately added, "And a red envelope too."
"Mr. Zhang, there's absolutely no problem!" The two assistants immediately patted their chests in affirmation.
It's obvious that Mr. Zhang has absolutely no musical background; he's treating this like a karaoke bar.
......
"Have you been this busy lately?" Zhang Yadong asked, noticing Huang Yiliang's unfriendly expression.
The worst thing about making music is being interrupted. Good music is music that flows smoothly in one go. When he was working with Wong Yat Leung, he had some inspiration, but Wong Yat Leung suddenly disappeared, and his inspiration vanished.
"School's started! We have to go to class. I even skipped class to come here today." Huang Yiliang shrugged.
"Are you kidding me?" Zhang Yadong glared at Huang Yiliang, annoyed.
He noticed that Huang Yiliang did not respond.
"You're not serious, are you?"
Huang Yiliang nodded and took out his student ID card, slapping it on the table.
"Communication University of China, freshman, directing department."
"You're a freshman?" Zhang Yadong was surprised.
"No, how old are you?"
He never asked Huang Yiliang's age, but he thought the other man looked young and had a youthful face. He himself had a youthful face when he wasn't staying up all night.
Huang Yiliang: "Eighteen!"
Zhang Yadong was speechless.
He had tried his best to guess Huang Yiliang's age as low as possible, after all, this guy's face really looks young, but your talent and conversation don't match your age at all!
You know you're a fraudster!
Just as Zhang Yadong was about to shut himself off, Wang Fei walked in.
"Wow! Boss, it's Wang Fei!" Little Potato exclaimed in a low voice, his face flushed with excitement.
"No future!"
Huang Yiliang gave Little Potato a warning look before walking towards Wang Fei.
"Hello, Sister Faye!"
"Hmm—! This is for you."
Wang Fei threw the guitar she was holding to Huang Yiliang and warned, "I took it from a friend's shop. Don't you dare go through my things again."
Little Potato's eyes widened. The boss actually knew Wang Fei, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other, having even visited each other's homes.
"No, Dong-ge found that guitar last time." Huang Yiliang decisively betrayed Zhang Yadong.
Wang Fei didn't care who did it, and turned to look at the stunned Zhang Yadong.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Uh—! Maybe he just wants some peace and quiet!" Huang Yiliang replied dismissively.
"Xu Jinglei? That can't be, Adong isn't that kind of person," Wang Fei said with absolute certainty.
Okay! Dong Ge is definitely not the kind of person who gets easily swayed by women.
"Guess how old he is?" Zhang Yadong suddenly asked mischievously.
Wang Fei looked at Huang Yiliang.
"Twenty-four or twenty-five years old!"
Haha, sure enough, I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
Zhang Yadong made an "eight" gesture.
"Twenty-eight? You really look young."
Wang Fei was slightly envious of Huang Yiliang's ability to resist aging.
Zhang Yadong: "Eighteen."
Wang Fei: "..."
