#180 - Chapter 180 Mei Jie joins The Voice! Legend officially starts charging on Sunday!
Back then, Sister Mei asked Chen Hao how she could repay him.
Saving someone's life is the greatest kindness!
How could she not repay it?
But she didn't know how to repay him.
"Sister Mei, really, there's no need, I..."
"Do you want to always be seen as my benefactor, or do you want to interact as friends?" Sister Mei stared at him.
"This..."
Chen Hao was dumbfounded.
From his perspective, he didn't want Sister Mei to repay anything, but from Sister Mei's perspective, she didn't want to always be burdened by the favor.
She hoped to become friends with Chen Hao.
Friends.
Shouldn't they help each other?
Helplessly, he told Sister Mei about the situation with 'The Voice of China' in detail.
"I can try!" Sister Mei's eyes were burning.
Finally, there was a chance to repay the kindness!
Relying on her alone?
Not enough!
To repay this favor, she didn't mind using all the connections she had built up over the years!
"Sister Mei, let me book a hotel for you first," Chen Hao said quickly.
"No need."
Sister Mei smiled slightly: "The next episode is only a week away—we need to start working immediately."
Xiao Ling was particularly excited.
As long as Sister Mei took action, the disadvantage compared to 'Same Song' could be easily reversed!
"The Voice of China" has too few big names?
Sister Mei is a super big name!
She also has a bunch of big-name friends!
"Chairman Chen, just leave Sister Mei to me."
Without waiting for Chen Hao to say anything, Xiao Ling and Sister Mei got into the car and disappeared into the night.
"Little Chen!"
Xie Wu looked surprised: "You're doing a variety show?"
This kid is hiding too much, isn't he?
He provided the lithography machine technology.
He invested the money for the lithography machine research and development.
And now...
Doing a variety show?
"Just playing around," Chen Hao said with a dry laugh: "That... Principal, I'll leave first."
"Wait!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? My wife and I are both fans of Sister Mei!" Xie Wu said angrily.
"I see... Wait for my news."
"Okay!"
Xie Wu ran off happily with a smile on his face.
...
Sunday.
Chen Hao got up early again, continuing to prepare various materials.
Regarding 'The Voice of China,' he wasn't actually worried.
The program's quality was excellent.
The promotion was in place.
The low ratings for the first episode were because it was competing with 'Same Song.' As each episode airs, it will inevitably surpass it in the future, so there's no need to rush for immediate gains.
He didn't expect Sister Mei to visit.
For Sister Mei, he simply wanted to make up for the regrets of an entire generation.
He never thought of asking for even a tiny bit of repayment from her.
But he couldn't resist her insistence.
The weakness of 'The Voice of China' was the weak lineup of mentors.
What is Sister Mei's status in the entertainment industry?
In the music scene!
In the film industry!
She's a top-tier celebrity!
Plus, she has excellent interpersonal skills and is very influential in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Next episode.
The confrontation between 'The Voice of China' and 'Same Song'...
Will definitely be exciting!
He was busy from morning until noon.
He specifically set an alarm, but the call came early.
"Haozi!"
Deng Xiaoyan was very excited: "Did you leave yet? When are you coming over? Hurry up!"
"I'm leaving now," Chen Hao said unhappily.
It's only 11 o'clock, okay?
Why so anxious?
Strange!
Once Uncle Deng gets the agency rights for Creation Era, if this news is told to Xiao Yan, that kid will definitely guess that his godfather is helping him.
Why didn't he call out 'Godfather' to express his gratitude?
So unfilial!
...
Dragon Royal Network.
As soon as Chen Hao got out of the car, he saw Deng Xiaoyan looking around outside the company gate.
"Haozi, over here!" Deng Xiaoyan waved.
"Is there any need to be so excited?" Chen Hao curled his lips.
"You don't know, I'm almost broke!"
Deng Xiaoyan said with a bitter face: "I'm just waiting for 'Legend' to make money!"
Broke?
Chen Hao looked puzzled: "Did your house catch fire? Burned everything?"
"Your house caught fire!"
Glaring at him fiercely, Deng Xiaoyan explained: "Haozi, did Uncle Chen help? My dad got the agency rights for Creation Era in Jinling City, but... my dad said he spent a lot, a lot of money."
"All the savings at home were used up, and we also borrowed money from relatives and friends."
"And took out a loan from the bank."
"You don't even know! They even reduced my living expenses by 50 yuan!"
Pfft!
Chen Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had told them that Uncle Deng's family's conditions were average, and the company would advance the funds in the early stage, and then talk about it after making money.
What's going on now?
Most likely...
Uncle Deng, like his parents, is the type who doesn't flaunt his wealth and constantly complains about being poor.
No wonder Xiao Yan didn't call him 'Godfather' to thank him.
In Deng Xiaoyan's view, it definitely wasn't Chen Hao who helped, but Chen Fuhai who helped to get the agency rights—Chen Fuhai is the general agent in Jiangsu Province.
"A bunch of old foxes..." Chen Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Only Deng Xiaoyan is kept in the dark, really thinking that his family can't make ends meet.
"Who is Lao Liu?" Deng Xiaoyan's ears were very sharp.
"Let's eat first, last time I waited with you for the data, your godfather almost starved to death."
"Don't worry! Come with me!"
Deng Xiaoyan pulled him straight to the office.
Sure enough!
The desk was full of things.
Food, drinks, cigarettes, everything.
"Today, we're not going anywhere, we're just waiting for the data here—I guarantee you won't starve." Deng Xiaoyan said with a smug look of foresight.
"Damn it!"
Chen Hao was dumbfounded.
He's not interested in waiting for data!
In his opinion, some things are a foregone conclusion, so why bother staring at them?
With this time, it's better to go back and work on the materials.
The problem is.
Deng Xiaoyan doesn't think so.
He is just an 18-year-old boy, and 'Legend' is his first career, and he has put in countless efforts for it.
Every success.
Every improvement.
Will make him so excited that he can't sleep at night.
Time passed.
Chen Hao ate a boxed lunch, and then took a bottle of Coke, lazily leaning on the sofa.
One hand holding the Coke, the other hand holding a cigarette.
Hey!
An afternoon of precious time is going to be wasted by this guy.
12:10.
The assistant rushed in as if flying: "Chairman, good news! The sales department's phone has been ringing off the hook, major provincial distributors are asking for cards!"
First, in a short period of time, many netizens bought cards at internet cafes.
At first.
Internet cafes were unsure of the number of top-up users, and the number of goods they purchased was not large, and they sold out in the blink of an eye.
As a result, internet cafes called the distributors.
The distributors also didn't have many cards.
And then called Dragon Royal Network.
"Quick!"
Deng Xiaoyan was very excited: "Didn't we send the cards to the provinces a few days in advance? Supply them!"
After speaking.
He shouted loudly at Chen Hao: "Haozi! Good news!"
"Got it," Chen Hao said weakly.
How precious is time?
This kid is wasting it waiting for data.
And dragging himself along!
12:20.
The assistant rushed in again, this time with an even more excited expression: "The provincial distributors..."
"Isn't it supposed to be every half hour?"
Chen Hao jumped up from the sofa: "Xiao Yan! Didn't we report once every half hour last time?"
It's changed to every ten minutes this time?
Is there something wrong?!
"Hehe..." Deng Xiaoyan scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
"I'm going out for a walk, it's stuffy."
"Haozi, don't go!"
"Your godfather won't go."
Chen Hao rolled his eyes: "Just walking around nearby, I'll be back in a while."
It's too boring to keep watching him act crazy.
Suddenly!
Just out of the company, the phone rang.
"Chairman Chen."
It was Ning Fan calling.
From being called 'Teacher' by Chen Hao, to working for the other party, the title has also changed: "The merger process is complete, when are you free?"
Completed?
Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
Just being annoyed by Deng Xiaoyan.
Perfect!
He can both find an excuse to slip away, and also settle the matter of the shipyard, killing two birds with one stone.
"I'll be over right away."
Chen Hao beckoned, and the Benz immediately drove up.
He got into the back seat: "Go to the shipyard."
