small beast

Chapter 59

It's about a deal for a debut record.The first album will include all the world famous songs played by Zhao Xiaobao during the process of advancing from the top [-] to the champion.

Due to Lu Shi's momentum and the establishment of the foundation, Zhao Xiaobao's popularity in the public opinion circle has reached an unattainable height, even surpassing the honor he has received.

The reason why it is called a loss-making business is because of Tan Jin's profit.Tan Jin gave Zhao Xiaobao 30.00% of the profit on the basis of signing the contract.That is to say, 30.00% of the benefits from E-shine will be deducted by Zhao Xiaobao himself.Seeing that Tan Jin didn't speak, Zhao Xiaobao refused, "It doesn't have to be like this. I'll just sign the contract according to other people's contract. If you give me the profit, I still want to invest the profit in the foundation."

It's not that Zhao Xiaobao is stupid, he just fulfilled what he said.He announced at the press conference that all proceeds from his first record will be used as the foundation's development fund for a long time.This long-term refers to as long as this record is still released, even if Zhao Xiaobao is no longer in this world, it is still valid.

Tan Jin looked at the person sitting across from him, who could not be bribed even with money.He insisted on his own opinion, and proposed a second plan to Zhao Xiaobao, "30.00% is still in your favor, counted as the company's support for the foundation. How about naming the foundation after the company?"

Zhao Xiaobao hesitated.The foundation is managed by Lu Shi, and various procedures such as approval are in progress.As for the name of the foundation, he hadn't thought of interfering before, and he was going to leave it to Lu Shi to take care of it.Anyway, Lu Shi's subordinates are full of talents, and he is not enough to look like himself in front of those great gods.

"Is it named after E-shine?" Zhao Xiaobao said to himself.

SHINE, light?Only those who have been swallowed by darkness can truly appreciate the preciousness of light.Zhao Xiaobao is very sensitive to this word.His eyesight has begun to recover now, and he may have to go to the institute once in a while to confirm the effect of the treatment and whether to undergo a second operation.Imagining that one day in the future, he can fully welcome the light of the future, Zhao Xiaobao is not unexcited.So, the name is not out of the question.

He took out his mobile phone, dialed Lu Shi's number, and said to Tan Jin, "It's not impossible. I don't have any idea about the foundation. But I have to ask Lu Shi first."

Tan Jin calmly raised his hand, smiled and signaled to Zhao Xiaobao that he could call first to inquire.He knew Lu Shi, and he had dealt with him several times.Although I have never had close friends, there are more or less people in this circle who have contacts and friendships.Moreover, as the organizer of the competition, Lu Shi's recommendation of candidates for the additional test, and the invitation of a certain teacher from the judging panel to guide Zhao Xiaobao are all clear about these things, and he turned a blind eye to them.

Zhao Xiaobao dialed the phone, and after only two rings, he was picked up by Lu Shi on the opposite side.

Now in the office, Zhao Xiaobao didn't say anything else to Lu Shi, and asked Lu Shi straight to the point, "Lu Shi, have you decided on the name of the foundation?"

"Not yet. I told you to tell me on the phone last time, have you forgotten?" Lu Shi remembered that he called Zhao Xiaobao seriously a few days ago.Now it seems that Zhao Xiaobao has long forgotten what he said, and couldn't help being a little depressed, and continued, "This matter can be forgotten. Then don't you remember any of the things I usually tell you? It's all left Does it go in the ear and out the right ear?"

Zhao Xiaobao was extremely embarrassed by Lu Shi's questioning, and explained, "No... I remember what I usually said." He really couldn't remember when Lu Shi said this, but he didn't dare to say it at this time. Bring it up to Lu Shi again, and argue with him without confidence.

"You'd better remember it all." Lu Shi said to him angrily, and then returned to the topic, "You ask me, did you think of the name yourself?"

Zhao Xiaobao glanced at Tan Jin on the opposite side, and continued in a low voice, "Think it over. SHINE, if you have no objections, this is it."

Lu Shi immediately knew that the name had something to do with E-shine.But Zhao Xiaobao took the initiative to call and ask for it, and he could only readily agree, "As long as you like it. I'll come and see you when I'm done with work here. You should pay attention to rest during this time, and don't let your eyes get too tired. The game is over. Alright, rest for a few more days."

"Understood. Goodbye then. Mr. Tan is still waiting for me to discuss the contract." Zhao Xiaobao got the answer, and wanted to hang up the phone, refusing to listen to Lu Shi's nagging.

On the one hand, Lu Shi is really busy, on the other hand, Lu Shi is also used to Zhao Xiaobao.Zhao Xiaobao said to hang up, but Lu Shi could only say goodbye and hang up the phone.

Zhao Xiaobao hung up the phone and quickly made an appointment with Tan Jin, "There is no problem with the name as you said. I will sign the contract after Kevin reads it."

"You can't trust me like that?" Tan Jin was suddenly displeased.He is rushing to send money to Zhao Xiaobao now, but Zhao Xiaobao is as cautious as a wolf.

Hearing Tan Jin's displeasure, Zhao Xiaobao explained, "I don't quite understand many of the clauses above. And it's a five-year agreement. I want to confirm it before signing."

Kevin listened to the conversation between the two and was at a loss.

Isn't it necessary to have your own lawyer or agent review the contract before signing the contract?How to get to these two people has become very embarrassing.He continued to confirm the revised and added clauses in the contract, and after confirming that there were no problems with all the clauses, he handed the contract back to Zhao Xiaobao, saying, "There is nothing wrong with the new clauses. You can sign it now." Sign the contract It was sent to Zhao Xiaobao in advance, and Kevin has already asked his classmates from the law department to review it.In order to prevent mistakes, he himself checked it again.

Zhao Xiaobao smiled apologetically at Tan Jin, and then signed his name on the designated place. "I hope we can cooperate happily."

At the same time, Tan Jin wrote his name with a pen.Stamped, bound, circular.These later things are handed over to the assistant.Kevin accompanied Zhao Xiaobao to deal with the next trivial things.Tan Jin returned to his office to continue handling the company's affairs.

For this competition, E-shine only signed Zhao Xiaobao.Even Tan Xiaozhe, a relative, was not shortlisted for the contract.Tan Xiaozhe didn't even think about signing it himself, it's great to be free.Just like his mother used to, she was busy with hundreds of world tour concerts every year.

Tan Jin was concerned about Tan Xiaozhe's young age and didn't want him to start a commercial model too early.As the eldest son himself, he was commercialized prematurely, so he thought that he could let Tan Xiaozhe enjoy himself for a few more years.That's what he thought, and Tan's mother also had the same idea as him.Tan's mother meant that Tan Xiaozhe should only play the piano and not get involved in the business circle.Tan Jin had nothing to do about his mother's eccentricity.

At this time, Lee knocked on the door and came in to discuss with Tan Jin the release date of Zhao Xiaobao's first album and the date of the premiere.The young pianists signed in previous years all follow the pattern.But this year, Zhao Xiaobao's situation is a bit special. The recovery of Zhao Xiaobao's eyes is uncertain, and it is uncertain whether he will have the next operation or not.These are all uncertainties.The people working below were undecided, so they asked him to ask the opinions of the above.

"Record the first record first. Let Zhao Xiaobao choose the schedule on the premiere day." Tan Jinlue instructed Lee after pondering. Lee couldn't accept this order, and looked at Tan Jin hesitantly.He always felt that Tan Jin's attitude towards Zhao Xiaobao was too gentle, unlike his usual style.

"It's decided like this. I will bear the other pressures. The premiere will not be held until his eyes are confirmed to recover. It's okay if he wants to hold it himself." Seeing Lee's hesitant look, Tan Jin explained one more sentence .

******

Zhao Xiaobao didn't go back to his newly bought apartment that night.The apartment was bought with the prize money from the first prize in the competition, and he raised Zhao Xin in it.Let's describe it like this, just like when Zhao Xin took him home and raised him in the big courtyard of Zhao's family when he was young.

The difference is that he was a child when he was brought in, while Zhao Xin was an adult when he entered.There is a saying that he did not lie to Zhao Xin, as long as Zhao Xin is willing to live like this, he will give Zhao Xin another chance.Even if the days to come are two people torturing each other, just go on like this.

Zhao Xiaobao found a room at Kevin's place to make do for the night.He went to the company the next day and started to record his first album.Now that he has signed with E-shine, and the foundation has already taken shape, he now has to prepare the record in order to successfully complete the next part.

Tan Xiaozhe was bored at home, so he came to the company to record with Zhao Xiaobao.From time to time, I will put forward some opinions of my own.Although he is young, Tan Xiaozhe does have outstanding talent in this area.The opinions he puts forward every day will make Zhao Xiaobao practice on that point many times.And Tan Xiaozhe is currently enjoying his winter vacation, and he is willing to come over to help Zhao Xiaobao complete Zhao Xiaobao's first record in his life when he has nothing to do.

Neither of them would go home at noon. Tan's mother sometimes asked the family driver to bring them over after cooking.It is often Zhao Xiaobao who sees Tan Jin sitting outside and the big lunch box next to him when he comes out of the recording room.Zhao Xiaobao refused several times, and always felt that he was not used to eating with the two of them.Especially Tan Jin, the boss, always gave him an uncomfortable feeling.

The result of the refusal was that Tan Xiaozhe stopped eating with his brother.And then... Zhao Xiaobao succumbed to the two brothers, and ate with them every day.Every time after eating, he would take the initiative to clean up the dishes with some embarrassment, but was rejected by Tan Jin every time, "No need. I'll do it."

Often at this time, Zhao Xiaobao would be in a hurry, either hitting the spoon and chopsticks on the ground, or dropping the dishes on the ground.After doing this twice, he felt ashamed to clean up. He just finished his meal in silence, and then watched Tan Jin, who obviously didn't know how to do such trivial matters, become more and more proficient in packing the lunch box.

Tan Jin still never talked to Zhao Xiaobao about anything other than work.Until one day at lunch, I saw Zhao Xin who came to the piano room to deliver food.

"Long time no see, Mr. Zhao." Facing Zhao Xin, Tan Jin was as polite as an ordinary friend.He naturally knew about the entanglement between Zhao Xin and Zhao Xiaobao, but he felt that there was no need to tear himself apart with Zhao Xin.

"Hmm." Zhao Xin responded mildly.According to Zhao Xiaobao's request, he lived in that apartment for half a month, but Zhao Xiaobao never went back since he left that day.He couldn't bear it anymore, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to see Zhao Xiaobao.It's just food delivery, and it shouldn't violate the agreement between the two people.With that in mind, he prepared lunch.During these days, he also thought about cooking, but he has insisted on the idea of ​​a gentleman staying away from the kitchen for more than 30 years. This kind of half-way monk really embarrasses him.So today's lunch was packed and brought outside.

"Mr. Zhao intends to go to sea?" The two big men sat together awkwardly, and Tan Jin was the first to break the silence.In fact, he was also curious about Zhao Xin's decision to abandon his official position and go abroad.It is really not easy to give up the achievements accumulated over the years so easily.

Zhao Xin shook his head, looked at Zhao Xiaobao inside, and said softly, "I won't go into the sea. I will spend the next year with my son, and I will think about other things after his eyes recover. Although it is difficult to deliver meals every day and take my son to and from work. This kind of thing is trivial and uninteresting, but just treat it as a vacation for yourself."

"You live together?" Tan Jin's face changed slightly.Hearing Zhao Xin's tone, he could almost imagine a picture of a loving father and a filial son.

"We are father and son, so we naturally live together." Zhao Xin answered as a matter of course.When he noticed the hidden hostility between Tan Jin's eyebrows, he actually laughed, "Don't Mr. Tan know? Xiaobao bought a real estate with the intention of settling here, and we will live there."

Tan Jin quickly adjusted and recovered, and replied calmly, "The company protects the privacy of contracted pianists, and these contents are generally not investigated, so I don't know very well. Lee, remember to call Tan Xiaozhe for dinner later. Zhao Sir, I have other things to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

Zhao Xin waved his hand indifferently, and continued to stare at Zhao Xiaobao inside.

******

After Zhao Xiaobao finished recording, he immediately saw Zhao Xin sitting outside, and his expression darkened instantly.

Zhao Xin set out the lunch, but Zhao Xiaobao didn't take a bite.The father and son sat at the dining table facing each other.Tan Xiaozhe saw Zhao Xiaobao and his father came, so he consciously took the lunch box upstairs to find Tan Jin to have dinner together, and kept the father and son.As a result, the condition upstairs was not good, and Tan Xiaozhe felt uncomfortable after eating this meal.His brother said that it's okay if he doesn't have an appetite and doesn't want to eat, he can eat by himself.The point is that his brother's eyes are too terrifying.Tan Xiaozhe casually picked up a few mouthfuls of rice and went downstairs. When he went downstairs and passed the restaurant, he found that the father and son's food on the dining table hadn't been touched at all.

The afternoon music was still recorded, but Zhao Xiaobao was obviously not in the mood. At three or four o'clock, he packed his things and left with Zhao Xin who was waiting outside.

Tan Xiaozhe had nothing else to do, so he went upstairs to Tan Jin's office to play games.Faced with Tan Jin's bad face, Tan Xiaozhe turned off the sound of the game for the first time, and then played and cleared his current game while Tan Jin was training five department heads in the afternoon.
