Chapter 1948: Tricking a Child

Seeing Jian Qiu stood at the entrance of the third courtyard's living room, watching Su Su follow her little aunt, bouncing and jumping toward the back, and glared at Zhou Andong.

"You really are..."

Zhou Andong looked at Seeing Jian Qiu proudly. "Just tell me, are you going or not?"

"Going!" Seeing Jian Qiu stepped out. "I haven't been out to relax for a long time, why wouldn't I go?"

Zhao Hong drove that BMW out in the morning. Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu got into the car and headed straight for the First Bar, with Wang Wentian and the others following behind in a Land Cruiser.

Arriving at the bar, it was the same old spot. Seeing Jian Qiu ordered a glass of orange juice, Zhou Andong ordered a glass of draft beer, and then they looked at the lead singer who was singing opposite them.

"How many faces, blankly drifting with the tide, what are they searching for? For the sake of life, people rush about everywhere, yet cross paths in fate. How many years, condensed into this moment, looking forward to the reunion of old dreams..."

Seeing Jian Qiu was also looking at the singer, but she frowned slightly.

Zhou Andong asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing Jian Qiu shook her head slightly. "This singer's pitch is fine, and you can tell his singing skills are also quite good. It's just that this voice isn't suitable for singing."

Zhou Andong turned his head to look at the singer again. He was too familiar with this person; it was Brother Kun of the 32 concerts.

According to rumors, his voice used to be very clean, and he sang songs like *Keeping the Roots*.

But just in late '93, which was the end of last year, he felt his throat was uncomfortable. He went to the hospital for an examination and found that there were small nodules in his throat.

The doctor said he must have surgery, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sing in the future. After he finished the surgery, he was told he needed to rest for three months.

But he didn't rest. After only a few days, he felt his throat was better, so he started singing, and then his throat bled, and it became like this.

"There is no voice that cannot sing, only songs that are not suitable for the voice."

Seeing Jian Qiu picked up her glass and took a sip of orange juice. "Whatever you say is what you say."

Zhou Andong said with a smile, "You're not convinced?"

"Convinced!" Seeing Jian Qiu also had a smile on her face. "You are the famous Lei Feng, who wrote so many popular songs. How could I not be convinced by what you say?"

"You're still not convinced." Zhou Andong raised his hand to summon a waiter. "Is this resident singer signed by Future Culture?"

"No!" The waiter shook his head. "This singer is called Da Kun, a friend of Future Culture's signed singer Huang Mingxuan. Because his voice had problems, other nightclubs wouldn't use him.

Huang Mingxuan found Brother Dazuo, hoping to give him a chance to let him sing here and have a meal, and then Brother Dazuo agreed."

"I see." Zhou Andong nodded. "After he finishes singing, tell him to come find me."

"Okay!"

The waiter turned and left, not forgetting to look up at Da Kun singing on the stage, muttering in his heart. The singing is so unpleasant, and he was caught by Chairman Zhou again. I guess he won't have to come tomorrow.

Thinking this, he shook his head sympathetically. This kid's fate is not good, and Chairman Zhou doesn't come once in 800 days. He was bumped into on his third day here.

In this era, the days of being a "North Drifter" are not very good. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world.

In those big, famous nightclubs where you earn a lot, it's not that they use you because you sing well.

Music circle, music circle, since it's a circle, it must be of different sizes and different.

If you can squeeze into the circle, no matter the size, you can definitely have a meal, even if you sing just so-so.

As long as you are in the circle, if you can't find work, if you have a friend who has a good relationship with the nightclub owner or manager, it's just a matter of a word.

Da Kun is in this situation. Because of his voice, other nightclubs wouldn't use him, but Huang Mingxuan had a good relationship with Zhang Zuo, so he said a word and kept him.

In fact, it's not just the entertainment industry; every industry is like this. They all have their own circles, and the circles of each industry are also different, and there are sizes.

Of course, the size of the circle is not the only standard for measuring influence. For example, Zhou Andong, he alone is a circle.

Because besides the two guys Old Wu and Old Zhang who don't worry, it's the family of the Third Grandfather. Besides that, even if there are acquaintances, there is no interaction.

But in the domestic business world at this time, which circle dares to say that its influence can overwhelm Zhou Andong?

Seeing Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong. "You want to sign him?"

"His voice has characteristics." Zhou Andong withdrew his gaze. "If there is a suitable song, he will definitely be popular, but a suitable song is very difficult to write. So, whether to sign or not depends on how the chat goes in a while."

Da Kun finished singing. No one applauded, no one booed, and no one dared to make trouble.

Just as Da Kun packed up his things and said something to Huang Mingxuan who was preparing to go on stage, and was about to leave, he heard someone shout.

"Da Kun!"

Da Kun looked up and saw a waiter. Although he had been here for three days, because of his personality, he didn't know anyone except Huang Mingxuan.

The waiter walked over. "Chairman Zhou wants to see you."

"Chairman Zhou?"

Da Kun was stunned. It's very common for guests to invite resident singers for a drink. But his voice is like this, and there wasn't even an applause after he finished singing. How could someone invite him for a drink?

Huang Mingxuan beside him reacted, looked up at the legendary position, and sure enough, there was already someone sitting there.

He signed with Future Culture after the New Year. The crisis a while ago also made him feel worried.

After all, the Future Culture agency contract is very, very friendly to singers, and also very, very formal.

If Future Culture collapsed, it would be impossible to find such a company in the country.

In order to sign with Future Culture, he prepared for more than half a year, and he didn't want to lose it just like that.

In fact, whether it's company staff or singers, they all have the same idea as him.

Even when the company was at its most difficult, there weren't many who jumped ship.

Sure enough, their persistence was rewarded. When the company was banned, they received an invitation to the music festival held by the Yugong Group.

Immediately afterward, he received an invitation for a comfort performance from the General Staff, and then CCTV resumed its cooperation with the company.

Before they could recover from these good news, the audiovisual works published by the company resumed being on the shelves for sale.

In just over half a month, the dark clouds over the company dissipated just like that.

At this time, many people in the company knew that the big boss of Future Culture was Zhou Andong.

Before the big boss was not in Beijing, some people felt that Future Culture was easy to bully, so they used all means to step on them.

When the big boss came back, he just waved his hand, and those people were all caught, which made all the singers and employees of the company excited.

Damn, with such a boss supporting us from behind, who would dare to bully us.

The important thing is that the big boss has money, and the development of Future Culture is even more promising.

"Go quickly!"

While Da Kun was still in a daze, Huang Mingxuan kicked him.

"Chairman Zhou is the big boss of our company. Your opportunity has come, you must grasp it well."

"Me?"

Da Kun didn't have any confidence at all, mainly because his voice made him lose all confidence.

"Hurry up." Huang Mingxuan pushed Da Kun again. "What are you dawdling for?"

Da Kun hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and walked over.

Huang Mingxuan let out a breath and walked onto the stage, but his eyes kept glancing in the direction of Zhou Andong.

What kind of person is the big boss? Even if he is bored, it is impossible to find Da Kun to chat.

As for whether he will kick Da Kun out of the bar, it is even more impossible.

It is true that the big boss has a good relationship with Brother Dazuo and Young Master Tang, but it is impossible to intervene in the bar's affairs for no reason.

Even if he doesn't like Da Kun and wants to get Da Kun away, it's just a matter of a word; there is no need to call him over. ===== CHAPTER 1949 =====
