Chapter 199 Goodbye 2-chome (Bonus chapter for 7400 monthly votes)

"It's a pity I don't know Jacky Cheung..."

Su Chao sighed deeply, looking melancholy.

Lin Xi was taken aback.

What the hell do you mean?

"Could you introduce me to Mr. Lin Xi?"

Su Chao took shamelessness to the extreme.

It's like wanting to sleep with someone else's wife and then demanding that the husband book the room and put the baby's diaper near the bed.

Okay, put in a few more.

Your wife is so beautiful, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist...

"Yes, of course I can. I'll call him in a bit..."

Lin Xi really wanted to tell him to go to hell.

However, he is the king of lyrics, the master, and the teacher Lin Xi whom Su Chao keeps calling out.

He couldn't lose face in front of a younger person.

"Thank you so much. Luckily, I have a friend who is the king of lyrics in the music industry. Otherwise, I would have really had no way to get by in Hong Kong."

Su Chao immediately offered a compliment.

(Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung: ???)

"It's just... a simple greeting, you don't need to be so... polite (disgusting)."

Lin Xi felt powerless.

He said he would introduce Su Chao to someone, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Jacky Cheung.

But he is the King of Lyrics. Even a brilliant new lyricist like Su Chao respectfully calls him Teacher Lin Xi. He has to maintain the dignity of the King of Lyrics.

Yes, dignified!
Now, all he has left in front of Su Chao is his dignity.

"Actually, there's another song we can talk about. It touches on some areas I'm not very familiar with, but I think Mr. Lin Xi must be very good at it!"

Su Chao will definitely not show any mercy.

He felt that he was mentally lashing out at Lin Xi, repeatedly whipping him with various of Lin Xi's lyrics.

Whether you can handle it or not is none of my business.

I won't pity you anyway.

Lin Xi knew she was reaching her limit today.

Unfortunately, he was an extremely curious person, so curious that if someone stabbed him twice, he would run back to ask why.

Su Chao watched as he changed to the third cassette tape.

I pressed the play button.

"I was actually very happy / Only I didn't realize it / If I could forget my desires / The years are long / My clothes are thin / No matter where I am / I don't assume you might be by my side..."

This time, Lin Xi didn't stop after listening to the previous two songs only once.

He listened to it over and over again.

Su Chao glanced at his watch several times and even coughed twice on purpose.

Damn it, if you don't give it back to me, don't blame me for beating you up.

"Your song... is really well written!"

Although Lin Xi felt that Su Chao's lyrics touched his heart, he had his pride and had never truly bowed his head.

This time he finally admitted defeat.

Moreover, her voice was trembling with tears, and when she looked up, her face was covered in tears.

"Um... Teacher Lin, what's wrong?"

Why are you crying? Please don't die.

What Su Chao didn't know was that although the song was scheduled to be written next year, Lin Xi's creative emotions had already reached that point long ago.

He repeatedly tried to meet with Huang Yaoming, but was always avoided.

Next year, he met Huang Yaoming again, inviting him to a place called Tokyo 2-chome, where they had sweet and beautiful memories.

He waited anxiously for Huang Yaoming in a record store. People came and went on the street, but after three hours, Huang Yaoming still hadn't shown up.

Lin Xi was deeply saddened and wrote this song alone in a foreign land.

Afterwards, Lin Xi gave the song to Yang Qianhua, and after Yang Qianhua finished singing it, he listened and cried.

However, Su Chao brought out the song earlier than expected.

The impact on him was considerable.

It immediately reminded him of Huang Yaoming.

Therefore, he felt the urge to confide in others and revealed his emotional entanglement with Huang Yaoming.

Su Chao suddenly realized.

But he had absolutely no sympathy.

Because Huang Yaoming is the lead singer of "Tat Ming Pair", a member of Zuni Icosahedron, and the founder of People Mountain People Sea Music Production Company.

He and Lin Xi are cut from the same cloth.

They're all people with twisted views.

"Teacher Lin, is it 2-chome? Then I'll call this song 'Goodbye 2-chome'!"

Su Chao seemed very moved by their love.

vomit~
"Thank you so much, thank you so much for listening to my rambling and even changing the song title to 'Goodbye Second Avenue.' What was the original name you planned for this song?"

Lin Xi was genuinely moved this time.

But that awkward feeling grew stronger and stronger. Why the hell are you a mainlander? Why are you a lowly mainlander? "Originally, I planned to call it 'It Turns Out I Was Very Happy'."

It was originally called "Goodbye Second Avenue".

You got up!

"That's definitely not as good as 'Goodbye Second Avenue'."

Lin Xi was a little smug, at least the song title was changed because of his story.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin Xi, for today. I won't bother you any longer."

After finishing his routine business, Su Chao immediately decided to leave.

Lin Xi, her eyes red from crying, was left there feeling empty, as if something precious had been taken away from her.

Su Chao returned to his residence and was about to go out that evening to discuss the movie with Benny Chan when he received a call from Zhang Guoli in mainland China.

Why is that old bastard making a phone call?

Is it because the Safeguard commercial he filmed with Jiang Qinqin is about to be released?

Actually, Su Chao is a little afraid to answer Zhang Guoli's calls now.

The last time Zhang Guoli called him, he was clearly having sex with his new wife, which left him with considerable psychological trauma.

I'm worried about becoming part of someone else's play.

It's hard not to wonder if Zhang Guoli is having trouble getting an erection and needs to call him to boost his mood.

Holy crap, that's terrifying.

Fortunately, Zhang Guoli's voice on the other end was relatively normal.

Perhaps his new wife, with her hair tied up, wasn't kneeling in front of him.

"Why did you go to Hong Kong? It's so hard to even call you."

Zhang Guoli went through several rounds of trouble before finally managing to call this number in Hong Kong.

Liu Dehua arranged accommodation for Su Chao and even installed a telephone line for him.

After all, it was intended to be given to Su Chao for permanent residence.

"I attended the princess's concert here. What can I do for you, brother?"

Su Chao really didn't know why Zhang Guoli was looking for him at this time.

"Ahem, I was originally going to ask you if you're still filming commercials..."

Zhang Guoli himself felt embarrassed when he said those words.

Su Chao can now participate in the Princess Concert, so how could he possibly care about an advertisement that only costs a few hundred yuan?

"I see. I'm afraid it won't be possible anytime soon. I've been quite busy lately."

A few hundred dollars, why risk your life?

Su Chao definitely won't take on these kinds of jobs anymore. It's not that he's gotten arrogant because he's achieved some success, but rather that his schedule is indeed very full right now.

Besides, once his album really takes off, he can easily earn tens of thousands, if not six figures, from an advertisement.

Why work yourself to death to earn just a few hundred dollars?

"It's alright, it's alright, we'll talk about it when we have time..."

Although Zhang Guoli was disappointed, he couldn't say anything more.

"Wait a minute, bro, when you're doing advertising for someone, are you working with an advertising agency or with the brand?"

Su Chao had no intention of letting Zhang Guoli off the hook.

"Yes, I guess so. People from advertising companies and branding companies all have connections after a while."

Zhang Guoli was somewhat smug.

He hasn't been wasting his years of his life.

"That's great, brother. I have an older sister who runs an advertising company and let me have some shares in it. If you have any projects, please introduce them to our company. You'll definitely get a good reward then."

Su Chao started poaching people from the other side.

These advertising projects are all quite profitable. As long as they're not aired on local TV stations, there's usually a profit margin of tens of thousands of yuan.

Even if Zhang Guoli gets a share of the profits, there's still room for them to make a profit.

As a result, the advertising business grew bigger and bigger.

If business really gets too much, we'll call Ning Hao and others over to work for us.

Years later, directors who emerged from Dream Advertising Company were numerous and all became prominent figures in the entertainment industry.

As for Su Chao, their former boss, they had to give him some face.

"We're all friends, it wouldn't be appropriate to give you business."

Zhang Guoli was instantly smitten.

"Brother, you're friends with them, but I'm your brother! Isn't this relationship enough for you to take care of your younger brother?"

Su Chao pretended to be angry.

"This one……"

Zhang Guoli didn't even know when he and Su Chao became brothers.

The age difference is quite large.

"Don't worry, brother, I will never mistreat my elder brother!"

First build a relationship, then talk about benefits.

No one can resist this temptation.

If you can resist it, it means the benefits offered weren't enough.

With enough benefits, he'd even offer his wife.
