Chapter 42 - Living Off Someone, But Acting Tough

Lin Chudong nodded.

"Alright, I'll take these shares then."

Lin Chudong didn't stand on ceremony. He would be the one calling the shots in this company in the future, and he was confident he could earn this money back for the boss lady.

Lin Chudong signed the papers, and Liang Yin put the contract away.

"I'll keep the bank card for now. Just come to me when you need money. I'm planning to rent an office, and I'll renovate the music store to be your dormitory. I'll let Feifei and Xiao Jia stay there too. What do you think?"

"Sounds good. Don't go too expensive. Leave some money; I'll invest in something else later."

Lin Chudong was thinking about getting into film and television. It was impossible to get something for nothing without any money, so he needed some startup capital.

Liang Yin nodded. "I'll handle it then. You just focus on rehearsals."

"Okay."

The next morning, Lin Chudong made breakfast and ate with the two pajama-clad beauties.

Afterward, Liang Yin drove her Honda Fit, taking the two of them to the music store.

The journey wasn't too long, and it was convenient to have a car.

Liang Yin said, "Da Fei, should we buy a car? The company's current car isn't very convenient."

Wang Zhi and Jia Lu had just started working and didn't have cars yet. Lao Chen could afford one, but he always drank and hadn't even gotten a driver's license.

As for Jing Feifei, this rich young lady had always had a driver since she was a child, so naturally, she didn't know how to drive.

Lin Chudong nodded. "We can consider it. Buy a cheaper one to save some money."

Lin Chudong wasn't exactly a penny-pincher, but he was just starting out, and he needed to spend money wisely.

Lin Chudong himself still had over a hundred thousand yuan, but he wanted to keep this money for opening treasure chests, in case he needed it at a critical moment.

The car drove to the music store and suddenly saw an object covered with a red cloth. Judging from the shape, it should be an SUV.

Liang Yin got out of the car and said.

"Whose car is this, blocking my store?"

A young man said, "Hello, madam, I'm from the Huaxing Benz 4S Store. May I ask who is Mr. Lin Chudong?"

Lin Chudong got out of the car and said,

"That's me."

The young man hurried over and said,

"Mr. Lin, this is the car Ms. Lin Qiqi ordered for you in our store. Please show your ID card and sign for it."

Immediately, both Lin Chudong and Liang Yin widened their eyes.

Lin Qiqi bought him a car?

Lin Chudong took out his ID card and signed for it. Then, the young man pulled the red cloth.

A brand new black Mercedes-Benz appeared in front of them.

Liang Yin walked to the back of the car, dumbfounded.

"Da Fei, a GLS450!"

Lin Chudong asked, "Did Lin Qiqi say anything?"

The young man said, "No, all the paperwork is here. Just sign where it's indicated, and mail it back to us. The process will be complete. We'll mail you the license plate tomorrow, so you don't have to make a special trip."

"Okay, thank you."

"Mr. Lin, we wish you a pleasant driving experience. Goodbye!"

Five minutes later, Liang Yin's band was all sitting in the brand new GLS. Chen Jianguo touched the high-quality interior and sighed.

"It's still better to eat soft rice, huh?"

Lin Chudong: ...

Wang Zhi also looked envious. "Brother Fei, start a class! This is more appealing than learning music. I'll pay any price to learn."

Liang Yin rolled her eyes. "Can you guys stop stirring up trouble!"

Lin Chudong said, "Alright, let's rehearse quickly. There will be plenty of opportunities to sit in it later."

The group entered the house and began rehearsing.

Lin Chudong sent a WeChat message.

Lin Chudong: I've received the car. Why did you send me a car? Lin Qiqi: Hehe, I asked the producer for a big red envelope for you. I took the liberty of buying you a car. Do you like it?

Lin Chudong: …How could there be such a huge red envelope?

Lin Qiqi: Hehe, I topped it up a bit.

Lin Chudong: The gift is too expensive. Don't take it upon yourself in the future.

Lin Qiqi: Got it, don't nag me.

Lin Chudong switched off his phone, feeling somewhat helpless. Was he freeloading?

He felt he wasn't humble enough. She did give him a car, after all. Was his attitude a bit arrogant?

Lin Chudong hadn't expected the little rich girl to give him such a valuable gift. Even if he asked the producer for a red envelope, it would only be a few tens of thousands of yuan at most.

A song wouldn't cost more than 100,000 yuan. This car was worth over a million. So, Lin Qiqi covered a million?

This favor was quite significant, so significant that he wanted to offer himself in return.

Last time, Lin Qiqi helped get a red envelope for him, and that favor hadn't been repaid yet.

Never mind, I won't think about it. I'll write a song for Lin Qiqi later.

Although her singing skills aren't that outstanding, there are songs that suit her very well.

Maybe it was because Lin Chudong had given the director's team a song, Devotion, on Lin Qiqi's behalf that day, making her feel like she owed him a favor.

The boss lady had just said she was short a car, and then Lin Qiqi sent one over. Her mouth really worked wonders.

But what's with the boss lady's sour face all day? Is she jealous?

The rehearsals went very smoothly throughout the day. Sun Xuan also called twice to inquire.

Lin Chudong directly started a video call and sang the song for Director Sun once.

Sun Xuan was very satisfied; Da Fei's reputation as a musical genius wasn't just for show.

On the other side, Shen Jianbin's face was a little gloomy after getting the program schedule.

"What's going on with Sun Xuan? I already specifically told him, and he still let Da Fei perform?"

Sun Jie also frowned, "That's right, and he's performing after us? Is his status even higher than ours?"

"Which song are they singing? Why isn't it on the program schedule?"

Shen Jianbin knitted his brows, took out his phone, and called Sun Xuan.

"Director Sun, what's going on with this program schedule? How can this kid Da Fei perform at the gala? And he's the last one?"

Sun Xuan said, "Director Shen, I'm sorry about this. I didn't deliver on my promise. I also need to meet my performance goals, so I have to put a lot of effort into the show."

Shen Jianbin couldn't be too harsh either, and his tone was still polite. "Director Sun, what program do you value so much? I know those songs by Da Fei. Which one is he singing?"

Sun Xuan said, "That's a secret for now. The song hasn't been performed before, and it won't be revealed until the show begins."

It wasn't often that a song would premiere at a gala. It only happened if the song perfectly matched the gala's theme and the director was sure it would have a great effect.

Shen Jianbin said, "Okay, Director Sun, I understand. I'll arrive early for the rehearsal tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jianbin's expression turned grim.

"It's also a premiere for an original song, and ours is also being performed for the first time. Why don't we get the same treatment?"

"Why is Director Sun being so secretive?"

Sun Jie said, "Forget it, Brother Bin, don't pay him any mind. This kid is definitely just stirring up a scandal to get attention, which is why Sun Xuan took him on. I didn't expect Modu TV Station to stoop so low as to ride the coattails of that hype."

Shen Jianbin snorted, "Whatever, let him be. Our new song will absolutely become a new milestone in the rock world."

Suddenly, Su Yulin walked in from outside and said coldly.

"President Shen, a reporter wants to interview you."

Shen Jianbin stood up and said, "Alright, call Wu Bo out."

Five minutes later, several people were sitting in front of Cheng Huanhuan.

Cheng Huanhuan held a microphone and said.

"Wu Bo, as the new lead singer of Da Fei's band, you're performing with Da Fei again this time. Do you have anything you want to say?"
