Chapter 2237: Arrogant Zhang Zuo
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the boss's wife, the script for the sketch is also in the room." Zhou Andong stood up and said to Guan Shengjie: "Old Guan, you wait here for a while, I'll be back in a while."
Guan Shengjie also stood up: "You guys go, I'll just take the opportunity to visit your courtyard."
Several people left the reception hall, Guan Shengjie went directly to the side courtyard, and Zhou Andong took Jiang Yuyue and the others to the back.
"Yuyue!" Ma Xiaotong held Jiang Yuyue's hand and said: "Our courtyard should also be decorated like this, it's too beautiful."
Jiang Yuyue bought a two-entry courtyard from Tang Lin, located next to the company, but only simply cleaned it up and didn't decorate it.
Ma Xiaotong and Huang Jiamin also wanted to buy a courtyard to be neighbors with Jiang Yuyue, a one-entry one would do. But the good courtyards in Houhai were all in Tang Lin's hands, so she could only look for Zhou Andong.
Then, Zhou Andong told her that as long as she put Yugong Wine, Jiang Xiaobai, Very Cola, and iced black tea on the guest table in the first row of the Spring Festival Gala and gave them shots in three time slots, he would give her a courtyard.
But in the end, she didn't want it, but bought it with money with Huang Jiamin, located behind Jiang Yuyue's courtyard.
After the spring, their courtyards, including Jiang Yuyue's, were undergoing external repairs, thinking about decorating the interior after the repairs were finished.
But seeing the decoration here at Zhou Andong's today, their hearts were itching, and they didn't want to wait anymore. External repairs wouldn't delay interior decoration.
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "My house is decorated by 365. You can contact Zhou Anbei directly, and he will naturally give you a big discount."
As he spoke, he entered the back building, went up to the second floor, and came to the room door. Zhou Andong knocked, pushed the door, and walked in.
Jian Qiu, Zhou Qianyi, and Du Youwei didn't know what they were talking about. When Zhou Andong came in, the three were laughing loudly, not afraid of waking the baby.
"Can you keep it down? What if you wake the baby?"
Zhou Qianyi said with a smile: "Little Feather is sleeping soundly, not afraid of noise."
"Sister Qiu!"
Jiang Yuyue hadn't seen Jian Qiu for a long time, probably two years, but the two weren't strangers.
"Yuyue!" Jian Qiu looked very surprised, stood up, held Jiang Yuyue's hand, and looked at her with a smile: "You can't tell on TV, but seeing you, you feel a bit thinner, but more beautiful."
"You are the one who is beautiful."
Jiang Yuyue didn't mean to flatter. She had always felt that Jian Qiu was beautiful, and it was the kind of unreasonable beauty. Sometimes she even scolded Zhou Andong in her heart for stepping on dog shit luck to marry such a beautiful woman as his wife.
Zhou Andong introduced Ma Xiaotong and Huang Jiamin to Jian Qiu, and then introduced Zhou Qianyi and Du Youwei to both sides.
Jiang Yuyue walked to the baby bed lightly, bent down slightly, fearing that her movements would disturb this tiny life.
She touched Little Feather's pink, lotus-root-like little hand extremely carefully. The soft touch from her fingertips made her heart melt.
At this moment, the emotion in her eyes as she stared at Little Feather was indescribable, like a clear spring flowing quietly in the bottom of her eyes.
And on her face, a gentle expression that had never been seen before appeared, like the gentlest breeze in spring brushing across the lake.
Ma Xiaotong happened to be standing opposite the baby bed, taking all this into her eyes. When she saw the gentleness overflowing from Jiang Yuyue's face, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhou Andong beside her, sighing helplessly in her heart.
"Xiaotong!"
Jiang Yuyue slowly held Little Feather's little hand, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face instantly, her joy overflowing.
"Look at this little guy's hand, it's soft, it feels so comfortable to hold!"
Ma Xiaotong heard this and walked up to touch Little Feather's other little hand gently, then nodded in agreement: "It's really soft, just like kneading dough."
Jiang Yuyue let go of Little Feather's little hand reluctantly, put it back in its original place gently, then slowly turned her head to look at Jian Qiu on the side: "Sister Qiu, what is the baby's name?"
Jian Qiu smiled and answered: "Zhou Yu, nickname Little Feather."
Jiang Yuyue nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then took out an exquisite jewelry box from her pocket and opened it carefully. Inside the box lay a shining longevity lock.
She took out the longevity lock, her movements as gentle as treating a rare treasure, then placed it beside Little Feather gently.
"Little Feather, this is the longevity lock Auntie gives you. I wish you a long life of two hundred years, without disaster or difficulty, and when you grow up, you will be as beautiful as your mother and as full of wisdom as your father."
Huang Jiamin also took out the same jewelry box. After opening it, inside was a gold ruyi. She looked at the little person in the baby bed with a smile.
"Feather, Aunt Jiamin hopes that in the long journey of life in the future, everything will go as you wish, and you will always be surrounded by happiness and good luck."
"And me too!" Ma Xiaotong also raised the equally exquisite jewelry box in her hand, inside was a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets: "Feather, you obedient baby, this was specially chosen for you by Aunt Xiaotong."
"May you grow up healthy and happy, get a hundred in every subject in school, get into university, study for a doctorate, and contribute to the country."
The three of them discussed for a long time what to send, after all, this was the first time they chose a gift for a newborn baby.
And the father of this child was named Zhou Andong. Not to mention the cooperative relationship, just the personal feelings, this gift was not easy to choose.
The value of the gift was not the most important consideration, because one yuan and one million were no different in Zhou Andong's eyes. The key was the beautiful meaning contained in the gift, and it had to be able to be preserved for a long time.
After a heated discussion and careful research, plus ideas from others, Jiang Yuyue decided to give a longevity lock symbolizing longevity and health.
Ma Xiaotong took a fancy to the dragon and phoenix bracelets representing auspiciousness and celebration, and Huang Jiamin chose the gold ruyi symbolizing everything going as one wishes without hesitation.
Although these gifts were not particularly precious to them, the full blessings and love contained in them were incomparably precious and just right, making them very suitable as intimate gifts for the baby.
At this time, Zhou Andong brought the sketch manuscript over and handed it to Ma Xiaotong: "You take a look first."
Ma Xiaotong took it. She wasn't a professional in sketches, but after all, she was mixing in the entertainment industry, so some things could still be understood by analogy.
In just over ten minutes, Ma Xiaotong looked up and said with a smile: "This script is good, and the songs are all big hits from the past two years, it should be a hit."
"Let me see!"
Jiang Yuyue took it. After seeing the script, she suddenly felt restless. If she crossed over to perform a sketch, it should be very sensational, right?
"Chairman Zhou, you say, how about I perform this sketch?"
"You are not suitable!" Zhou Andong refused without thinking: "This sketch is suitable for Teacher Gong and Teacher Zhao. Xiaotong, you contact the two teachers after you go back. The script doesn't need money, just interpret the work well."
"Okay!" Ma Xiaotong agreed, then asked: "Then what about the author's name? Should we continue to use Lei Feng?"
Zhou Andong shook his head slightly: "This time, don't use a pen name, use my real name directly. Moreover, all the songs I wrote before, when they are released again in the future, will all be changed to my real name."
Ma Xiaotong heard this, was stunned for a moment, then blinked her smart big eyes, and then said suddenly: "I understand!"
From Jiang Yuyue's first song "Good Days" to the current "Wanjiang," "As You Wish," "Loyalty and Patriotism," etc., every time one was released, it was like a whirlwind sweeping the entire music scene.
And the mysterious Lei Feng, accompanied by these songs that became big hits one after another, had already become a legendary existence like a godfather in the domestic music circle, making many domestic musicians worship him.
Besides that, songs like Andy Lau's "Stupid Child," "Chinese," "Forget Love Water," and Wakin Chau's "Friends" and Jiang Yuyue's "Second Hand" were also killing it in the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions.
Especially Jiang Yuyue's "Second Hand," its popularity still remained high, and whether it was radio or TV, the request rate always firmly occupied the top of the list.
In this way, Jiang Yuyue's other songs also set off a boom over there, especially "Blue and White Porcelain," whose popularity was rising continuously, and in several entertainment programs quite popular with the audience, guests sang covers one after another.
Therefore, the name Lei Feng gradually attracted the attention of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles. And accompanied by the big hits of these songs, the fame was also increasing day by day.
When the Hong Kong and Taiwan regions and even the entire Chinese cultural circle knew that Sony Music Entertainment had welcomed a new boss, and this boss was not only the newly promoted richest man in Asia but also Lei Feng who created so many classic songs.
For an entertainment company, the benefits brought were not just a little bit. First of all, the impression left on the outside world was that the boss was not a layman, but a veteran musician in the circle.
Secondly, the boss possessed extremely high musical literacy and amazing talent. Finally, and most importantly, the boss not only had strong financial support but also had superior musical talent.
This had a great stabilizing effect on the newly acquired Sony Music Entertainment company. And for many artists, it also had no small attraction.
Therefore, Zhou Andong wanted to make this vest public, there was no need to cover it up anymore.
Ma Xiaotong put away the sketch script: "Tomorrow I will personally visit Teacher Gong and Teacher Zhao, I believe they will definitely like it very much."
Today's Ma Xiaotong could be said to be calling the wind and summoning the rain in the domestic entertainment circle, especially after Future Culture was suppressed and then counter-killed, Ma Xiaotong was already a big shot in the circle.
Anyone who was struggling in this circle, no matter who they were or what their status was, when they saw her, they would respectfully call her Sister Tong.
"Smack, smack, smack..."
Just then, a soft and rhythmic knock on the door sounded.
Zhou Andong walked quickly to the door, reached out to open the door, and saw Sister Wu standing outside.
"Chairman, the food you ordered at Jinwan Hotel has been delivered."
Zhou Andong nodded, turned back to the room: "Let's go, the food has been delivered, let's go eat."
Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but raise her wrist and look down at her watch: "It's only ten-thirty, why eat? Isn't it a bit too early?"
Zhou Andong explained: "Brother Guan and Sister Wei have to go on a business trip to catch a flight today, and the schedule is quite tight, so this meal was arranged in advance."
Jiang Yuyue nodded in sudden realization and said softly, "We got up late this morning and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. It just so happens that we can take advantage of Brother Guan and Du Jie's presence to have a meal on Boss Zhou."
Ma Xiaotong blinked, and a flower-like, brilliant smile instantly bloomed on her beautiful face: "That's right, we're still hungry, but I just don't know if Brother Guan and Du Jie would mind."
Du Youwei hurriedly said, "I'm a guest myself, so how could there be any reason to mind?"
"Since that's the case, let's not dawdle!"
Ma Xiaotong was not polite at all; she was the first to take a step and walk toward the door, shouting as she went: "I'm so hungry I'm practically skin and bones; this food arrived just in time!"
In fact, they had already eaten before leaving, and not even an hour had passed.
It was just that Guan Shengjie and Du Youwei were both reporters—one for the People's Daily and one for the China Youth Daily.
There were countless people who couldn't find a way to have a meal with these two, and now that such a great opportunity was right in front of them, how could they easily let it pass?
Zhou Andong brought the women to the restaurant and found Guan Shengjie outside the main gate; the guy was smoking and chatting with Wang Wentian and the others.
Hearing Zhou Andong call him to eat, he was a bit reluctant, clearly not having chatted enough, but with his flight at noon, he couldn't delay any longer, so he had no choice but to follow Zhou Andong to the restaurant.
"Hmm?" Guan Shengjie saw the lobster and abalone at a glance and said with a smile, "Boss Zhou, it's one thing for you to be corrupt yourself, but you actually want to drag me down with you.
If I eat your lobster and abalone today, how miserable will I be if I crave them later but can't afford them? You kid are too bad."
"You can't blame me for this." Zhou Andong laughed loudly: "This was ordered by your wife. Otherwise, would I, the famously stingy one, order lobster and abalone for you? Are you dreaming?"
Du Youwei was truly embarrassed: "Andong, I was really joking with you. How did you actually go and get lobster and abalone?"
"Since it's here, it's here." Jiang Yuyue sat beside Du Youwei and put an abalone in her bowl: "Boss Zhou is wealthy and generous. Not to mention lobster and abalone, if there really were dragon meat in the sky, he could afford to buy it."
Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuyue: "Hurry up and eat. If you're late and miss your flight, don't blame me."
"Then I won't be polite."
Guan Shengjie sat down. He wouldn't be polite with Zhou Andong, but with Jiang Yuyue and the others present, he naturally had to maintain some decorum, so he ate quite like a gentleman.
Because no one was drinking, they finished in less than an hour. Zhou Andong arranged for Wang Wentian to take Guan Shengjie and Du Youwei to the airport.
Afterward, the three of Jiang Yuyue went to keep Jian Qiu company for a while, and at noon, they left together with Zhou Qianyi.
At this time, Zhang Zuo, having had a nap, emerged from his room full of vigor and let out a very arrogant shout.
"Zhou Dongzi, Tang Erlin, Gu Banjin, dare you come out for a battle!"
