American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 69 You Can't Go Back

In the dimly lit bar, you can see a singer dressed in jazz style sitting on a high stool, singing into the microphone in front of him. His voice is high-pitched and deep, which is a very rare timbre. The songs he sings are old-fashioned funk and soul music, which is a bit high-brow and unpopular.

"Do you like listening to this kind of song?" Olsen asked Ryan who was beside her. Ryan had just pulled her directly into the bar.

Ryan took a sip of beer and said honestly, "No feeling, how about you?"

Olsen shook her head. In fact, she didn’t have any favorite music, nor did she have any special hobbies. Her personal life could be described as “boring”, so she would find something for herself to do.

Seeing that Alan had finished singing and was about to leave, Ryan left Olsen and stood up and walked towards him.

Ryan called out to the other person in the corridor.

"Do you have a pen?" He stopped and turned around to ask.

"I'm not here to ask for your signature, but to collaborate with you. Wake Me Up, electronic music, has a man named Scooter contacted you? Or is it School Boy Records?" Ryan asked immediately.

"Cooperation? No one has approached me recently to ask for cooperation, so who are you?" Alan seemed a little surprised.

Ryan nodded and didn't answer his question. It was now certain that Scooter had never looked for him in the first place.

Seeing Ryan turned and left again, Alan was surprised and thought he had met a lunatic.

"Let's go back to the dormitory together." Ryan returned to the table and gestured with his hand for Ao Mei to follow him out of the bar.

"Go back to the dormitory? Wait." Ao Mei was a little confused.

He wanted to go back to the dormitory with her just after meeting her? She felt a little flustered.

On the other side, Ryan had already put the money on the table and dragged Ao Mei away. Along the way, Ryan almost dragged her forward.

"Wait a minute, my roommate is here, and we live in the same room." Ao Mei smiled stiffly and started to make excuses.

"So what?" Ryan said nonchalantly.

You don’t want to do this in front of my roommate?! Ao Mei was even more flustered.

"My period is here again! It's really inconvenient today." Ao Mei continued to smile stiffly and make excuses.

"Oh, really? What's the impact?" Ryan shrugged.

This... Ao Mei's forehead was sweating. How unhygienic! This is too disgusting! Ao Mei was so confused that she stopped walking.

Ryan didn't even look back at her and continued walking towards NYU.

"Or, I think we should just find a hotel." Ao Mei looked at the ground and whispered.

Ryan then stopped and turned around to ask in surprise: "You obviously have a computer in your dormitory, why are you looking for a hotel?"

·
Ten minutes later, Olsen opened the door of the dormitory and Ryan followed her in.

Aomei said that two people were living together, but in fact, both students had single rooms. Aomei's dormitory looked like an ordinary girls' dormitory, and its layout was more monotonous than that of ordinary girls' dormitories.

At this time, Ol' Sister blushed and went to turn on the computer for Ryan. Just now on the street, the misunderstanding was resolved. Ryan was just using the computer to investigate some things. Ol' Sister mistakenly thought that Ryan had thoughts in that direction, so she even said the word "get a room".

At this time, Olsen squatted down to press the power button. Not only did she hit her head when she stood up, but she also accidentally knocked over the plastic water cup on the table.

"I was so careless." Olsen smiled awkwardly and in panic she picked up a piece of paper and wiped the water stains on the table.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's your note, right?" Ryan reminded kindly.

Ao Mei gasped.

Ryan didn't continue chatting with her, but searched for information about Robin Thicke on the Internet. It turned out that Robin Thicke had participated in the production of Usher's album "Confessions" a few years ago. It was this album with brilliant commercial performance that made Usher famous in those years.

Robin Thicke knows Arthur, and Arthur is a partner of Scooter, so Scooter is fully qualified to reach some kind of cooperation with Robin.

Considering the "chance encounter" at the party, Robin and Scooter's demeanor during the conversation, and the unusually smooth cooperation and negotiation, Ryan was basically sure that he was sold out by Scooter. To say "sold out" was not quite appropriate, it was more like Scooter was using Ryan.

So, should Robin Thicke be rejected and Alan be re-employed?
To be honest, even if there is a difference in the presentation effects between the two, the difference will not be that big.

Just pretend nothing happened? Apart from Taylor, the only person who can be considered as a backer is Scooter...

After thinking for a moment, Ryan decided to choose another way.

After figuring it all out, Ryan looked at Ao Mei, who was sitting on the bed behind him.

"What happened?" Ao Mei couldn't help but ask.

If it were someone else, Ryan probably wouldn't say much, but as Olsen is his social media assistant, Ryan still told her the whole story and his thoughts.

"Your decision is correct. You should do it in a way that benefits yourself the most, even if it means sacrificing the performance of the song. Don't think about giving anything on your own initiative, because you often get nothing in return, whether it's work or other aspects." As if thinking of herself, Olsen said with a little resentment.

"Is there a story?" Ryan noticed something.

"Do you have any wine?" Ryan asked.

Ao Mei thought about it, then walked out of the room, and came back with a few small bottles of beer in her hands.

As they drank, Olsen began to share her story, which was actually a bloody college love story that went wrong, which was not new. Ryan was not really interested, but he chose to be a friendly listener.

But there seemed to be not many such listeners around Olsen, so she talked more and more, from her last relationship, to her first love, to her parents, and her two sisters. She had many disagreements with her two sisters. They both wanted Olsen to enter the acting major of Tisch Academy of the Arts, but Olsen didn't want to enter some damn Hollywood at all. She had long seen from her two sisters that it was not a good place, but she finally chose to compromise.

There were more and more empty wine bottles on the table, and the ones in the refrigerator were all finished, so Ao Mei called a nearby 24-hour store and asked them to deliver some.

"Compromise, this is the main theme of my life now, endless compromise. No one cares about my thoughts, no one has ever cared." Olsen covered her head with her hands, smiled bitterly at first, and then started sobbing.

In Ryan's opinion, such crying was just a temper tantrum. Her two elder sisters were billionaires, and Tisch School of the Arts was not something that could be entered just because one wanted to. The tuition and the accompanying fees alone were a huge expense. She was a "young lady" after all, and from this point of view, she was actually quite similar to Taylor, but she lacked Taylor's confidence and her personality was more introverted.

But Ryan was still considerate enough to hand over tissues.

"Thank you. Let's not talk about this anymore. Take a look at this." Olsen opened the notebook she had just used to wipe the water stains. This notebook was placed next to her, which meant she used it frequently.

Flipping through the back, it was filled with topics about content to be posted on social media. Many of them were crossed out, indicating that she was not satisfied. It could be said that those that had already been posted were her careful preparations.

"You're really great. Before choosing you, I actually examined many people, at least hundreds of them. Facts have proved that you are more capable than those people at work. The whole world can't see your shining points, but I do!" Ryan was not stingy with her praise. She asked herself to look at the notebook, just to let herself say something nice.

Ao Mei was visibly happier, with the corners of her mouth raised and her eyes narrowed in laughter.

"You're so nice." She said to Ryan as expected.

Ryan put down his bottle first, then took the bottle from her hand. The two of them stared at each other for five full seconds...

Under the catalysis of alcohol, Ao Mei's long and narrow eyelashes flickered rapidly, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were a little straight.

"The door is locked, you can't go back." Ao Mei burped drunkenly.

·
"Knock, knock, knock!" The loud knocking on the door woke up Ryan and the girl in his arms.

"You're going to be late! Elizabeth!" her roommate's voice came from outside the door.

As he left, he complained a few times: "It was so noisy in the early hours of yesterday morning. Why did you shout so loudly?"

Do I have it? Olsen opened her mouth wide and looked at Ryan next to her.

Without time to think, Olsen hurriedly got up and quickly dressed.

"Help me tie it." She turned around and Ryan pulled his hand free to do it.

"Go downstairs by yourself later. Remember to contact me when you land in Nashville." She said and closed the door.
