Chapter 123: Chapter 123 The Record Company Doesn’t Want to Cooperate Anymore

"Introduce what? Chase her on your own merit," Jiang Man said indifferently.

As she was about to leave, she remembered the classical guitar and turned around to pick it up, "I’ll take this with me, deduct the cost from what I owe you for the songwriting fees."

"Okay, okay," Wu Yingfan gestured with his hands.

He actually wanted to be Jiang Man’s real wallet, but she was so strong-willed that every time he paid, it was just an advance that she would definitely repay later.

As she put it, clear accounts make good friends.

Wu Yingfan couldn’t be bothered to argue about it. After all, neither he nor Jiang Man was short of money, and settling the accounts was simply a matter of integrity, not taking advantage of others casually.

It was precisely because of this that he cared for Jiang Man even more wholeheartedly and was willing to be her follower.

When Jiang Man returned to Villa No. 8 with the guitar on her back, Lu Xingzhou happened to be home.

He had just changed his shoes and taken a few steps when he heard noises from the entrance. He turned back and saw a girl carrying a large guitar.

He was somewhat dazed, only then remembering that Jiang Man was studying at the Academy of Arts, specializing in classical music.

As her husband, he had neglected to prepare the musical instruments she needed for school in advance.

For a moment, Lu Xingzhou felt a bit guilty.

"What instruments do you need for your courses?" he immediately asked.

Jiang Man took off her shoes, put on slippers, and stepped inside, raising her eyebrows dubiously, "Not sure yet, the class schedule hasn’t been released. Probably have to wait until military training is over."

"And this guitar?" Lu Xingzhou pointed.

Jiang Man responded indifferently, not thinking too deeply, "Wu asked me to buy it, just to play around."

Lu Xingzhou did not say anything more, paused, and began walking towards the spiral staircase.

Seeing this, Jiang Man followed him, "Wait a second, Uncle."

Lu Xingzhou stopped, "Speak in the study. Mrs. Zhang, bring up two cups of hot milk."

"Yes, Young Master."

Jiang Man followed him to his study and leaned the guitar against the wall, "I have a cousin, who is also my roommate. She’s looking for a part-time job singing in a bar. Do you know any bosses who could take her in? She’s won first place in the youth singing competition; she has a really good voice."

"No problem, wait for my message," Lu Xingzhou immediately agreed without a second thought.

Jiang Man nodded slightly, turned around to pick up the guitar, "Thanks, I’ll head back to my room then."

After she left, Lu Xingzhou immediately took out his phone and called Song Xiao.

"Do you know a bar owner? I need to place someone for a residency."

"What?" The voice on the other end was surprised, "The sun rises from the west? Don’t you hate those places? You always say they’re dingy and muggy."

"Manman’s cousin wants to work part-time."

"I see." Song Xiao sounded a bit disappointed, "You could have come directly to me for this. Why go through you?"

"Are you unwilling? If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else," Lu Xingzhou didn’t catch the implied jealousy in Song Xiao’s voice, not realizing Song Xiao was feeling jealous.

Even Song Xiao himself hadn’t realized it.

"Don’t, I didn’t say I was unwilling... she’s like a sister to me, how could I say no to helping her?" Song Xiao pouted, sounding like a sulking wife, "I’ll sort it out and tell Manman directly, no need to go through you then."

Click.

Beep beep beep...

Before Lu Xingzhou could respond, the call was abruptly ended.

"This kid, what’s he playing at?" Lu Xingzhou looked annoyed, "Dare to hang up on me?"

...

Jiang Man soon received a call from Song Xiao.

"Hello, Manman, I found a lounge bar called ’Moonlight’, the environment is really nice, right there in Houhai."

Hearing Song Xiao’s voice, Jiang Man blinked in surprise before smacking her forehead.

How could she have forgotten this brother?!

He was familiar with the nightclub scene; she definitely should have asked him about arranging a bar residency!

"What’s the salary like?" Jiang Man asked indifferently.

"Four thousand, not including meals and accommodation."

"So low?" Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, her tone harsh.

Song Xiao grumbled, "She’s a college student and has no experience in singing residencies. A salary of four thousand is already quite decent."

"Ten thousand, I’ll cover the remaining six thousand," Jiang Man said, unfazed.

Song Xiao exploded in shock, "You’ll cover? Where do you get that much money? Are you cutting it from the allowance Xingzhou gives you?"

Jiang Man fell silent for a moment.

Lu Xingzhou had indeed given her a Black Gold Card, but she hadn’t touched a single cent in it.

With Wu Yingfan around, there was no need to worry about money.

"You don’t need to worry about where the money comes from. Just tell her the salary is ten thousand when the time comes."

"Manman, she’s your cousin, not your own sister..." Song Xiao was worried about Jiang Man’s money.

Yet Jiang Man acted as if money was dirt, her tone impatient, "Why waste words?"

"How about this, don’t cover the money, I’ll talk to the boss again, try to get a salary of ten thousand."

"Alright, wait for your reply."

...

The bar, filled with heavy metal music, had an intensely thick atmosphere.

Behind him was a scene of men and women energetically dancing, Song Xiao walked back to the booth with his hand in his pocket, striding confidently.

The bar owner immediately came up respectfully, nodding and bowing.

Song Xiao looked at the owner, then slouched into the booth and propped up his legs nonchalantly.

As he reached for a cigarette, the owner swiftly lit it with a quick ’click’ of the lighter.

The pale blue flame jumped up, illuminating half of the man’s face brightly, while the other half remained in shadow.

Song Xiao blew out smoke, raising an eyebrow, "Set the girl’s salary at ten thousand, your branch there gives four thousand, the other six thousand I’ll cover. You know how to discuss this with the girl, right?"

The owner was momentarily stunned, then immediately nodded, "Understood! Understood! Young Master Song truly treasures beauty!"

While flattering, the owner secretly admired, rumors were true, Young Master Song really did splurge impressively on women, and he had his ways.

If he were a woman, pursued by such a man, he would willingly fall at his knees too.

...

Jiang Man soon received a reply.

Song Xiao sent a text message: The other party agreed to a monthly salary of ten thousand. She can start singing residency tomorrow.

Jiang Man typed with one hand and sent: Thanks, I’ll treat you to a meal later.

Song Xiao: No problem.

After chatting with Song Xiao, Jiang Man immediately forwarded the chat record to Wen Rui.

Wen Rui was memorizing words on the balcony at that moment, and heard her phone vibrate in her pocket. She didn’t want to check initially.

But after thinking it over, she couldn’t resist and took it out to look.

The old phone screen was very poor quality, but she still made out who sent the message.

When she saw the content, she danced with joy.

"Ten thousand yuan? My goodness!"

She couldn’t even imagine!

Not yet graduated, and already earning five digits a month?

She immediately replied: Cousin, thank you so much, really, really thankful!

She didn’t know how to describe her feelings at this moment.

She spun around in place, hugging the Oxford dictionary, giggling foolishly.

...

Two days later.

After Jiang Man finished military training and was heading to the cafeteria with her roommates, Wu Yingfan called her.

As soon as she picked up the phone, an irritated voice came through: "Fuck, they’re playing us! They said the new song you wrote doesn’t really fit their idol’s style, not collaborating for now!"
