Chapter 119: Giving you the villa in advance

~8 min read 1,486 words

"Brother Wei, that Weibo post is extremely popular right now. What should we do..." Li Zhongshan was sweating profusely.

Du Xiaowei took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He used his phone to follow the dynamics on Weibo in real-time.

After a while, he said feignedly nonchalantly: "It's just a hot search. It'll be gone in half a day at most. Look at how little backbone you have!"

"But..." Li Zhongshan explained hesitantly: "Under the Weibo posts of the musical official account and Han Zhizuo, the voice for Murong Xue is the highest."

"I don't know what kind of dog-shit luck that girl Murong Xue had. She just posted a cover of Xiao Yiru's classic old song, and Xiao Yiru died. This is simply heaven helping her!"

"Are you sure the musical will definitely launch?"

Du Xiaowei asked, barely maintaining his composure: "Could it be hype?"

"Han Zhizuo said it himself. He's not the kind of person who would casually hype things up for clout. What's more, Xiao Yiru was his friend for many years; there's no way he would consume the deceased."

Du Xiaowei's face turned even uglier upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything more.

At the same time, in Guo Qishan's office at Tian Feng Entertainment.

Guo Qishan, in a suit and leather shoes, patted Xu Tian on the shoulder and praised him: "Not bad, you really have ability!"

After he got the news, he called Xu Tian to his office.

Previously, he had transferred Xu Tian to Qingguo Music and given him a lot of authority, which had caused dissatisfaction among many top executives and agents.

Now, not long after Xu Tian joined, his artist Murong Xue had hit the hot search without any company operation. This was enough to show that his decision was correct and that Xu Tian was indeed a talent.

Although Guo Qishan was suspicious by nature, he was good at using people.

He didn't care about Xu Tian's background or whether he had connections; as long as he could do things for him and help him make his artists famous, he would reuse him.

"Guo Zong is too kind."

Xu Tian said modestly: "This is all thanks to the opportunity you gave me, Guo Zong."

"Not arrogant or impetuous, not bad!"

Xu Tian's words made Guo Qishan very satisfied.

He walked to the desk, opened a cabinet, took out a contract and a door card from inside, and placed them in front of Xu Tian.

"I can transfer the house you wanted to you in advance. As for the money, you don't need to worry; you can pay it back in installments."

"Also, I will notify the finance department to give you an extra performance bonus later."

"As long as you achieve results, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Then thank you, Guo Zong."

He picked up the contract and door card, scanned them roughly, and put them into the folder.

At the same time, he cursed the "old fox" in his heart again.

Guo Qishan was saying he wouldn't treat him unfairly, but according to the agreement, this house should have been his anyway; now the other party was just giving it to him in advance.

In reality, not only did he have to pay for it, but before the house payment was paid off, it was impossible for him to leave Qingguo Music.

This old fox had one more person working for him, while he himself hadn't paid anything.

However, as long as he could get that villa back, Xu Tian didn't care about these small details.

In his past life, Yan Qingxue had paid with her life to save him. Now, he was just getting a house back; it was truly not worth mentioning.

"Xu Tian, although Murong Xue has popularity now, Xiao Yiru's influence in the circle is too great. Many people want to ride on this popularity. How much certainty do you have that Murong Xue can get the lead role in this musical?"

One had to know that this was a hot role. Not only singers, but musical actors were also paying attention to the casting, and even popular young actresses had recently started promoting themselves, trying to get a piece of the pie.

According to the scale of Han Zhizuo's previous musicals, a tour of twenty cities across Huaxia was the baseline. And because Xiao Yiru also had a certain influence overseas, it might even be arranged to perform in Europe by then.

Whoever could play the role of the young Xiao Yiru would definitely be able to soar into the sky and become famous worldwide.

Xu Tian gave a faint smile upon hearing this: "This role must be Murong Xue's."

"Good! Then I'll wait and see!"

Guo Qishan appreciated Xu Tian's confidence and also looked at him with a bit of admiration.

When Xu Tian had requested the little "transparent" Murong Xue, whom no one thought highly of, from Du Xiaowei, Guo Qishan had originally thought his eye for people wasn't good.

But no one expected that in just half a month, Xu Tian would make Murong Xue, this little "transparent," active in the public eye and become a popular artist widely followed and discussed.

If it weren't for Xiao Yiru's sudden illness and death, Guo Qishan would even have thought that all of this was planned by Xu Tian long ago.

But thinking about it, it was impossible. No matter how powerful Xu Tian was, he couldn't predict the future and know in advance that Xiao Yiru would die, nor would he know that Xiao Yiru's friend, Han Zhizuo, would launch a large-scale musical tour in the name of mourning Xiao Yiru.

Of course, Xu Tian achieving such results just after taking office was also something Guo Qishan was happy to see.

In this way, Qingguo Music would no longer be a situation where Du Xiaowei was the only one in power.

Xu Tian wasn't interested in the abacus in Guo Qishan's heart.

After leaving the company, he rushed to a cafe in the central business district for an appointment.

"Mr. Xu, this is the information you asked me to investigate."

The private detective handed over the information collected during this period.

Xu Tian opened it and took a look, immediately frowning.

He had asked the private detective to investigate detailed information about Yan Qingxue's family, but from the content investigated, he couldn't find any clues related to himself.

Xu Tian had known since he was a child that he was an adopted son of the Xu family, because he had been thinking before whether Yan Qingxue's parents, Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya, could be his biological parents.

But through the private detective's investigation, he found that he should have no blood relationship with this family.

However, why did the Yan family in his past life help him?

The investigation into the Yan family during this period made Xu Tian recall some memories from his past life.

Not only Yan Qingxue, who died in a sea of fire to save him, but even the Yan family's parents had silently supported him when he was down and out.

According to the timeline, the Yan family's company had long since gone bankrupt at that time, and Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya's lives weren't easy either.

Even so, they still took out their savings...

As soon as Xu Tian thought of such a family silently paying for him in his past life, his heart felt like a seasoning jar had been overturned, a mix of five flavors.

However, compared to investigating the relationship between himself and the Yan family, Xu Tian wanted to help the Yan family get out of their predicament more.

But he had no intersection with this family at all. If he appeared rashly, it might be counterproductive.

"Mr. Xu, this is all the information I can investigate."

The private detective saw Xu Tian staring at the document in front of him without speaking and explained with some difficulty: "Even if you are not satisfied, there is nothing I can do."

The last time he handed the investigation data to Xu Tian, Xu Tian said he needed to investigate more deeply.

He had spent half a month visiting, and even went to Yan Jinsong's hometown, but the things he found were all insignificant trifles.

But this Yan Jinsong was strange enough; his hometown was clearly in the Imperial Capital, yet he didn't want the good future in the Imperial Capital and insisted on settling in Jiangshui.

"The investigation can come to an end."

Xu Tian looked at Yan Jinsong's current address on the document, and suddenly had inspiration in his mind: "You need to do one more thing for me. Of course, after it's done, I will double the reward for you."

"What is it?" The private detective asked hurriedly. ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
