Chapter 7. The girl with the calming voice (1)
"Chief Bai, are you sure that we will find the female singer we need here"
"Don't worry, president Ren, I am sure"
Although Bai Shu reassured me, I was still hesitant to go to a bar like this.
We are currently in the Chenai district which is famous for its bars and nightlife
Although the district was also prosperous at day, the nightlife in this district was another matter.
At night, all the bars light up their signboards and welcomed customers that enjoy the nightlife.
Chenai bars were the most famous bars in the entire capital. Many rich young masters would spent their nights in these bars.
Blue Dive Bar was one of the hundreds of Chenai bars and the place where we are going.
After solving the troubles at the company, all the remaining employees started working towards the company's next project.
Zhao Tan was intensely composing new music and melodies for the album while Shao Fang and Uncle Zhang was working hard to contact their acquaintances to see whether they can find a good singer or not.
All the other employees were also helping them to manage the company.
As for why I was at the bar with Bai Shu, it was because Bai Shu said that there was a good female singer in this bar.
That's why I am here with him to check out the singer.
We are in a hurry to release the album, that's why we have to quickly found the singer.
As we entered the bar, I saw that several people were drinking with their friends, there were even some sexy females in short skirts who were trying to attract some men.
The bar was really prosperous and shining. It was the scene of the nightlife of the capital.
We quickly sat on a seat in the front and ordered some drinks. It was still 8 so there wasn't many people here. The bar will get more rowdy as the night grew.
As I was glancing in the bar, I noticed that Bai Shu who was beside me was glancing at the female legs.
That guy even have some drool licking from his mouth!
It was really disgusting seeing a burly man drooling at the girls legs.
They are even younger girls in their 20s.
This old man is really perverted..…
Cough!* Cough!*
I coughed two times to draw his attention and said.
"Aren't you staring at the legs too much?"
"Hehe, what can I do president, the nightlife of Beijing is really prosperous"
Bai Shu really didn't have much shame as he was not even ashamed when I caught him staring at girls legs.
"You know president, being a manager is really a hard job"
He said as he took a sip of alcohol.
"Managing stars isn't easy, especially when they are girls. You will have to follow pretty and young girls to several places. You have to coax them when they are down and congratulate them when they did something good. You even have to take their blame if they did something bad"
"Being a manager is really tough!"
"Tough? No, it is beyond tough. Being a manager is like being a semi boyfriend"
"Semi boyfriend?" I asked in confusion as I wonder what Bai Shu was blabbering.
"Yeah, you have to do everything a boyfriend or even a husband will do but you can't touch them"
"Huh"
"It is a huge taboo if a manager and a star has a relationship. A star's whole career can be destroyed if it leaked that she have a relationship with her manager"
"You must have lot of pent up feelings"
"Yeah, I have. You know president, I am in this industry for almost 10 years and I still think everyday of quitting but I can't quit"
"You can't quit? Why?"
"It's because you will get intoxicated by the feeling of making someone a star. You will feel pleased when you see that the star you manage is standing on the stage, being loved by thousands of people"
"It is the feeling of making someone"
"Correct, president you know you are very much like your father"
"Me like my father?"
I was confused as how I was similar to my father who I had never really met in this life.
"Yeah, you got this vibe like you are easier to talk to. If it was my old company president, I can't talk like this"
"Me giving a vibe that is easier to talk to?"
When I think about it, It was really true. Even in my previous life, my crew members often talked casually with me.
Well, it was better than having my subordinates shiver in fear when I talk to them.
"Yeah, you seemed like a person that is easy to make friends with but you know, there is something different about you and your father"
"Different? What is different about me and my father?"
"It's ambition"
"In my 5 years of working in this company, I talked to the president many times. He was calm, steady but he lackedc ambition and you have that ambition"
Bai Shu said he took another sip from the glass.
"Although I don't know about Director Zhang but the reason Mr. Fang stayed in the company was also because of your ambition"
"Shao Fang stayed in the company because of my ambition. I didn't understand what you are saying"
"You know president, Mr. Fang had already got a offer from CE media"
"He had gotten a offer from CE media?"
CE media was one of the top companies that is engaged in the entertainment industry. It mainly work on idols and songs. The top idol group currently DION is also part of that company.
"Yeah, although it didn't look like it but he is someone who has really good connections in the industry. CE media invited him because of that but the reason he refused the offer was because he saw the ambition in your eyes"
"So, Shao Fang stayed because he saw my ambition, So why did you stayed"
He smiled at my question and took another sip and said.
"It's because it's really tiring to start in another company"
"Tiring?"
"Yeah, first you will have to work under a new chief and then, you have to be indecently handle a star. You have to remember all of your superior names and again make relationships in order to survive. It's really tiring"
"You have really worked hard as a manager"
"Haha, that's true, president"
Although casual talking is good, I quickly changed the subject as we were here not to have fun but for work.
"Where is the female singer you talked about?"
As I asked that, instantly all the lights got dim and the light on the stage shined much brighter.
It was the signal that a performance was going to start.
As the lights got dim, I noticed that a girl was standing on the stage.
With long flowing brown hair and a beautiful face with light makeup, she was looking gorgeous. It was like a star had come to the ground.
In that stage, she was the star and she was shining brightly.
"Oh, she's the one I told you about, president"
I heard Bai Shu words but I didn't glanced at him. My mind was already set on the performance.
