Chapter 49 49. 30 RMB in Account

The three people never expected that Lin Xiao would suddenly say such a thing.

Zhou Hui was the first to come to her senses, her face was very embarrassed: “Well… according to the agreement, the 10 should have been given to you a long time ago! But Xixi just made some money… Don’t worry, I’ll ask the finance department after today’s performance and I’ll transfer the money to you in the next two days!”

Lin Xiao nodded, looking as if he was talking business.

If someone else was so petty and came to the performance to collect the debt, Zhou Hui would have glared at him to death.

But if this person is Lin Xiao…

She feels really good!

“He looks like a decent person, but I didn’t expect him to be a poor guy… But it’s okay this way!”

She completely relaxed.

However, the two little girls behind her were dumbfounded.

Relying on the contact with Lin Xiao these days, Han Xixi was half-believing and half-doubting his words. She was not sure whether he was really asking for money or deliberately saying this to block Sister Hui.

Assistant Chen Jiajia was standing by and was completely dumbfounded!

“No, I’m a huge fan of you two, why are you playing the creditor game with me?!”

Chen Jiajia felt like the sky was falling!
……

After gaining Zhou Hui’s trust, Lin Xiao successfully got a work badge and could come and go freely backstage.

The performance officially began at seven o’clock in the evening.

Because of the release of “Human World”, Han Xixi’s popularity has risen recently, and even more than before.

So in this tour, as the champion, she finally returned to her rightful prime time, going on stage at 8:30 and singing two songs, “Later” and “Human World”.

Lin Xiao was on the side of the stage and could clearly feel that the enthusiasm of the audience was much higher when she was singing than before.

This is enough to show Han Xixi’s popularity and strength.

Lin Xiao was also inexplicably relieved.

After listening to these two songs, he drove away directly – Han Xixi went back to Haicheng with the team in the evening and did not need his escort.

It was already past nine o’clock when I got home.

Lin Xiao came out of the shower and found a missed call and two WeChat messages.

The WeChat message was sent by Han Xixi.

He left her a message before he left, and she replied: [Okay, then be careful on the road]

It also has a silly rabbit expression.

Lin Xiao discovered that Han Xixi particularly liked this set of emoticons. He was amused and did not reply.

The call was from an old acquaintance whom I hadn’t contacted for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, he called back.

The call was answered quickly.

“Hey, senior!” Lin Xiao said.

“Oh, you still remember me, your senior. I thought you had forgotten me after you ordered me around!”

On the other end of the phone, Cao Yuanzhi smiled and joked.

Cao Yuanzhi is two years older than Lin Xiao. They were both members of the Guitar Club of Ninghai University when they were in college. When Lin Xiao joined the club as a freshman, Cao Yuanzhi happened to be the president, and they became familiar with each other that way.

Cao Yuanzhi majored in music at the Art Academy, and went to Haicheng to pursue his dreams after graduation.

In the end, he didn’t catch up with his dream, but he successfully entered Tiansheng Entertainment and became a music producer behind the scenes.

When Lin Xiao was a junior in college, he was short of money, so he wrote a song called “Later” for him.

This song helped him earn 20 yuan and also helped Cao Yuanzhi gain a foothold in Tiansheng Entertainment. Now he has gradually become a well-known producer in the mainland music scene and has friendships with many big-name singers.

Even though my career is very successful now.

But Cao Yuanzhi knew that if it weren’t for Lin Xiao’s song “Later”, his career path would not have been so smooth.

So until now, he is still very grateful to this talented junior brother.

After the release of “Later” that year, Cao Yuanzhi strongly advised Lin Xiao to enter the music industry, because with his creative talent and good looks, he was definitely a good candidate to be a singer-songwriter.

But Lin Xiao declined, saying that he had a brain injury and that’s why he wrote the song “Later”. Who knows when he will have a brain injury next time?
Cao Yuanzhi thought about it and agreed.

Talent is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is difficult to describe.

Some musicians produce classic works one after another, and inspiration seems to be free. But most musicians can only write one or two good works in their lifetime, and the rest are garbage.

The fact that Lin Xiao could remain so clear-headed after writing a good song inevitably made Cao Yuanzhi look at him with more respect, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

Later, one of them was in Haicheng and the other in Ninghai.

Different fields are like different mountains, so there is little connection.

Until some time ago, Lin Xiao sent the music score of “Human World” over and specifically asked Han Xixi to sing it.

These days, Cao Yuanzhi has been busy coordinating with Shao Yun of Feihong Entertainment about this song and has no time to ask Lin Xiao.

Now is the time to make this call.

Listening to the senior’s joke, Lin Xiao hurriedly said with a smile: “How could that be possible? I feel really bad for causing you so much trouble this time!”

What he said was not a compliment, but the truth.

Cao Yuanzhi worked for Tiansheng Entertainment. He finally got a good song, but he could only watch helplessly as the singer under his competitor sang it…

Just think about how difficult it is!
It was because Lin Xiao knew this that he only sold this song for 30 yuan even though he was using the name “Ma Yao”!
In fact, with the famous name of the composer of “Later”, coupled with the excellent quality of “Human World”.

One million is worth it!

But Lin Xiao didn’t dare to ask for it – he couldn’t let his senior work in vain!
Cao Yuanzhi laughed with him for a while, then said: “I called you for no other reason than to tell you that the 30 has been transferred to your card. Please check to see if you have received it!”

Lin Xiao checked the text messages on his mobile phone and found that there was indeed a deposit reminder.

“Got it, thank you, senior!”

“polite!”

The atmosphere of the conversation was relaxed, and neither of them mentioned anything other than the 30 yuan.

Cao Yuanzhi smiled and sighed: “In fact, when you wrote “Later” that year, I knew that your talent could not be used up all at once, so I kept waiting for you to write a new song! Now I see, my judgment was still very accurate… I just didn’t expect that I would wait for six years!”

Lin Xiao also laughed: “This is just a flash of inspiration for me! The next flash of inspiration may come 60 years later!”

Cao Yuanzhi laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter that you’ve blown up half of the music industry. Recently, many people have been asking me about the whereabouts of Mr. Ma Yao, especially Shao Yun from Feihong Entertainment, oh, and Han Xixi’s agent!”

“Oh, is it so?”

“No!”

Cao Yuanzhi smiled and said, “But then again, it’s a good thing she asked me about you, otherwise, I would have suspected that you were Han Xixi’s husband!”

Lin Xiao was drinking water and almost choked when he heard this.

“Ah? Why… do you think so?”

“Imagination!”

Cao Yuanzhi said nonchalantly, “This song is so good, so many big-name singers would be vying for it! But you insisted on giving it to Han Xixi, do you think I can help but think about it?”

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly.

“I simply think her voice is suitable for this song.”

“I know! But when you specifically asked Han Xixi to sing, I immediately remembered that you work in Ninghai, Han Xixi is from Ninghai, and she just got married…”

“So you guessed that I was her husband?”

“Isn’t that ridiculous? Later, her agent asked me about Teacher Ma Yao, and I knew I was just overthinking it, hahaha…”

Cao Yuanzhi laughed heartily.

Lin Xiao was very embarrassed and could only laugh along.

After chatting for a few more words, the two hung up the phone.

Lin Xiao looked at the balance of 35 yuan in his bank card – the 5 yuan was cashed out from A shares two days ago. The A shares have been fluctuating these days, and have long lost the momentum of their pre-holiday surge.

Lin Xiao didn’t have the patience to track it every day, so he just cashed out and left.

There are more than 35 yuan in the card now.

He thought about it, and his first thought was to pay off the remaining 20 yuan of mortgage in advance.

That still leaves 15.

Another 10 will be deposited into the account in two days, and the deposit will suddenly be very considerable.

“How about…buying a car?”
