Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Let’s Buy a Car! Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Let’s Buy a Car! The instigator of it all, the incredibly awesome Wang Hao, was at that moment having hot pot with Jiang Feng, listening to his agent Xia Xueqi report on the various pieces of information she had gathered over the past couple of days—
“Brother Hao, these past couple of days have been deathly busy for me,” Xia Xueqi sighed. “Just two days into being your agent and I’ve already taken over eighty calls!”
Wang Hao: “…” That vicious?!
Wang Hao broke into a sweat—this was actually a rookie mistake on his part. He thought there was nothing much going on since his phone hadn’t been ringing that often, but that was only because most people still didn’t know his number; otherwise, his phone would have been ringing off the hook from morning till night!
“That many!” exclaimed Wang Hao. “What were they all about?!”
Xia Xueqi replied, “Most of them were junk messages. After careful sorting, there were about five pieces of useful information.”
Wang Hao: “…” Ain’t this gonna drive me crazy in the future?!
Xia Xueqi took out her phone and started reading out the messages one by one—
“There’s a band called Today’s Sunshine asking for Brother Hao to help write a song, with a fee of five hundred thousand per song.”
Wang Hao: “Don’t remember them, not interested.”
“Tan Yafei is asking if you have any suitable roles for him to act in, and he’s asking for a fee of two million.”
Wang Hao: “Damn, that high a price? Tell him to go play with eggs!”
“Lv Qiuling has the same question, but she is offering to be involved in a casting couch scenario.”
Ha ha ha ha ha! Am I now the kind of person who gets offers to engage in casting couch scenarios?!
Wang Hao: “Forget it, I’m a straight arrow. Next.”
“The music director Luo Shiyuan from ‘The Wanderer’s Path’ TV series would like to request your help with creating a theme song, offering a fee of four hundred thousand. Oh, and he mentioned he’s a good friend of Mr. Zeng Wenhui.”
Wang Hao: “I guess that one’s okay. I’ll take a look at what the drama is about if I have some free time.”
“The head of Zhenan TV Station would like to invite Brother Hao for a meal because he’s seeking a favor.”
Wang Hao: “Hold on, I get the part about people asking me to write songs or wanting to join drama casts, but what’s up with this Zhenan TV Station?”
“I’m not sure about that,” Xia Xueqi responded. “These five are the most valuable. I’ve mostly turned down the rest of the miscellaneous stuff. Brother Hao, which ones do you plan to pick?”
“Hmm…” Wang Hao touched his chin, “Writing songs can’t be rushed; if you’re too hasty, they lose their value. Tell those two who are asking for songs to wait a while. As for those two who want to join drama casts, just reject them. This TV station thing is worth considering, though. Branching out into TV programs and opening up that market isn’t a bad idea… Let’s go with this Zhenan TV Station head. I should have time tonight. Let’s see what he wants from me.”
Xia Xueqi: “Got it, Brother Hao. I’ll go inform him right away.”
She went to arrange the future schedule, and at that moment, Jiang Feng poured a glass of wine for Wang Hao and asked, “Brother Hao, the monthly competition is on the 31st. Which song will I be singing? The same one? These past couple of days, I’ve seen comments online saying that they want to hear me sing it again.”
The young man finally experienced success, hard-won and thus treasured all the more.
In his mind, if someone enjoyed listening to his song, he would be happy singing it for a lifetime.
“I know what you’re thinking,” said Wang Hao, chuckling. “Don’t worry, you’re someone who genuinely loves music. You’re different from those who just buy songs. People like you deserve to soar higher.”
It was decided. The next song he’d have Jiang Feng sing was called “Soar Higher”. Heh, quite fitting.
“Thanks, Brother Hao,” said Jiang Feng, his gratitude heartfelt. He lifted his glass, “No more words needed, Brother Hao. From now on, you’re my real brother. Without you, there would be no today for me. I’ll drink first!” With that, he downed his drink in one gulp, very forthright.
“Ha ha, don’t worry, stick with me and you’ll live the good life,” Wang Hao laughed heartily. “I have plenty of songs suited for you. Just sing to your heart’s content; as for the rest, no need to go into detail—I get it.”
The two of them drank together, and by that time, Xia Xueqi had already contacted the head of Zhenan TV Station and walked back with a leisurely pace, smiling. “Brother Hao, everything’s arranged. We’ll meet tonight at six.”
Wang Hao nodded, “Alright, that settles it.”
Having finalized the itinerary, it was time to prepare—Wang Hao’s business was now bustling. It was definitely time to seriously consider buying a car. You can’t always be seen riding an electric bike when going out, can you?
“Xueqi, let’s go, it’s time we bought a car,” Wang Hao said to Xia Xueqi after finishing their meal, standing next to the electric bicycle. “You can’t always ride an electric bicycle when meeting the head of a TV station, right? A minimum level of respect is needed.”
“Ah?! Buying a car?!” Xia Xueqi’s eyes lit up at the mention of buying a car. “Awesome, let’s go!”
“What brand should we get?” Wang Hao pondered, stroking his chin. “It should be of an appropriate class, not like the last class reunion where I tried to keep a low profile and ended up being accused of showing off, that wasn’t good. Hm, it should be slightly higher end. A car worth two to three hundred thousand would be nice, in case there’s a chance to take our superstar for a drive one day…”
“Brother Hao, I recommend a Maserati,” Xia Xueqi’s eyes sparkled like little stars. “I really love that car, an Italian brand, and it looks good. Plus, driving Miss Yaning around in it just sounds right.” She was a year older than Bai Yaning, so calling her “Miss Yaning” came naturally.
“A Maserati? That’s not a bad suggestion,” Wang Hao considered it and nodded. “Upper mid-tier, that works!”
With that, Wang Hao swaggered onto the electric bike. “Let’s go then, to buy a Maserati!”
Actually, at the same price level, there was Porsche, but Bai Yaning previously had a white Panamera, and it would be a bit repetitive for him to buy the same.
So, after much consideration, the Maserati indeed seemed like the better choice.
Once the idea was settled, they set off. Xia Xueqi sat happily behind Wang Hao, leaving passersby in a daze—when did electric bikes become so effective for picking up girls?!
Zooming along at a brisk pace—at least twenty miles per hour!
Zhou Yunzhi had been loitering in the Zhonghai City Ferrari-Maserati 4S shop for three days now.
As a standard rich second generation with a company bringing in about three million a year, buying a Ferrari might be a stretch, but a Maserati was not a significant matter.
The reason Zhou Yunzhi had been dawdling for so long wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the car or that he was waiting for more discounts, but rather, he had taken a fancy to the general manager of the 4S shop!
Ever since he first came to see the cars and caught a glimpse of the general manager, Zhou Yunzhi found himself hopelessly smitten with her!
Truth be told, the general manager of this 4S shop wasn’t extraordinarily beautiful, but she was young, from a good family, the epitome of a fine, rich, and pretty woman!
Zhou Yunzhi always believed that such a woman was the only match for him.
Hence, even though he was eager to drive the car home, after thinking it over, he decided to drag his feet for a few more days, at least until he could get the contact information of the beautiful general manager, before considering paying.
Today he had been wandering around the shop for a couple of hours, closely inspecting a 2017 Maserati Ghibli from all sides. The saleswoman present was beginning to get impatient—looking without buying for three consecutive days would test anyone’s patience, wouldn’t it?
Just as Zhou Yunzhi was struggling to find a good excuse to approach the beautiful general manager, he saw a man and woman riding over on an electric bike.
Normally, this wouldn’t be noteworthy, but soon Zhou Yunzhi’s eyes brightened!
The man riding the electric bike was rather ordinary, but the woman sitting behind him was undoubtedly a knockout!
She wore a pink dress that revealed her fair thighs; at around 165 centimeters, she was definitively beautiful. Worth mentioning was her natural charm, exuding an attractive ladylike demeanor.
What’s more, the two had arrived on an electric bike, which got Zhou Yunzhi all excited!
Beauty! Loser! Electric bike!
With such a mix, against a tall, rich, and handsome guy like him, it would only be a matter of moments before he outshined them, right?
What would they be doing here?
Just satisfying a craving with a quick look, no doubt! There was potential here!
The general manager of the 4S shop might seem unattainable, but this girl could surely be easily charmed by his allure!
Not even worth a second thought!
