"Lu Chen, long time no see!"
"When are you going to release a new album? I'm going to buy a few more as a souvenir. "
"If you have time, come to Nepenthes Bar often. Everyone misses you."
"Yeah …"
Many customers came over to greet Lu Chen warmly. They were all regular customers of Nepenthes Bar. It could be said that they had watched Lu Chen go from a small part-time singer to a big shot in the entertainment industry.
Lu Chen smiled and greeted them one by one, not neglecting any of them.
LuChen's friendly and easygoing attitude made everyone feel very comfortable. Although he was successful and famous, he didn't put on the airs of a big star. Moreover, he didn't forget these old customers, and even called out their names.
As they spoke, the singer who sang "The Bright Times of Youth", Xiao Zhuang, walked over from behind the bar.
He changed into a jacket inlaid with silver accessories, still holding the guitar in his hand, and bowed respectfully to Lu Chen and the others. "Teacher Lu Chen, Teacher Chen Fei'er, Brother Kenhao."
Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er both smiled and replied respectively, "Hello."
ChenJianhao nodded and smiled. "Haven't you always wanted to meet Lu Chen? Today, your wish has been fulfilled. "
Xiao Zhuang looked at Lu Chen and said, "Teacher Lu Chen, I'm a fan of yours. Can I have your autograph?"
His gaze was very passionate, and there was a trace of admiration in his eyes.
With the help of the light from the bar, Lu Chen looked at him seriously. He looked very young up close, probably no more than 20 years old. His facial features were handsome, and his skin was fair. His appearance was very good, and he even had an ear stud in his left ear, which was the most popular style in the entertainment industry, "little fresh meat."
Of course, Lu Chen would not reject his small request. "Sure, where do you want to sign?"
"Just sign here!"
Xiao Zhuang was obviously prepared, and immediately handed over the guitar and a microphone pen with a smile.
Lu Chen chuckled and reached out to take his guitar.
Lu Chen had a deep understanding of guitars. Although his most cherished guitar was the one given to him by his sister, he had also bought several other guitars after his debut. Seeing a good guitar, he couldn't help but be excited.
Xiao Zhuang's guitar wasn't a branded one, but a custom made one. Through the sound hole, you could see the engraved metal signature embedded in the guitar case. The material used was exquisite, and it was definitely of the highest quality.
Such custom-made guitars usually cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the best ones cost tens of thousands of dollars. If it was the work of a real master, it would be a priceless treasure.
An ordinary singer would not be able to afford this guitar even if they worked hard for a few years in Beijing.
Just as ChenJianhao had said, Xiao Zhuang was a rich second-generation heir who did not lack money.
Lu Chen praised, "A very good guitar …"
Xiao Zhuang immediately said, "Mr. Lu Chen, if you like this guitar, then I'll give it to you."
Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er, and ChenJianhao all laughed. Lu Chen shook his head and said, "A gentleman does not take what others like. Also, this guitar is too expensive. I wouldn't dare accept it."
As he said that, he took the microphone pen and wrote his name and the date on the right side of the guitar.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu Chen …"
Xiao Zhuang was very disappointed that he didn't get a guitar. He took the guitar that Lu Chen handed back to him and asked eagerly, "Will you be going on stage later?"
Lu Chen raised his glass and smiled. "I'm just here to sit down tonight. How about you sing a few more songs?"
Xiao Zhuang was disappointed again, but he didn't pester him any further. Instead, he said politely, "Then I'll go backstage to prepare. Mr. Lu Chen, Mr. Chen Fei'er, goodbye."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing Xiao Zhuang's silhouette leave, ChenJianhao asked Lu Chen, "What do you think?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Kenhao, this isn't your style!"
He wasn't an idiot. How could he not see that ChenJianhao had the intention of recommending Xiao Zhuang to Chenfei Media?
Lu Chen and ChenJianhao had known each other for more than three years. He knew that ChenJianhao normally wouldn't meddle in this kind of business.
Unless there was a favor that couldn't be erased.
ChenJianhao rubbed his chin and smiled bitterly. "Indeed, it's mainly because I owe his uncle a favor."
ChenJianhao didn't hide it. He honestly explained why he recommended Xiao Zhuang. Xiao Zhuang's uncle had helped ChenJianhao a lot before, and he still hadn't returned the favor.
If it wasn't for that, Xiao Zhuang wouldn't be singing at Nepenthes Bar, and his ambition wouldn't be at Nepenthes Bar.
Of course, Xiao Zhuang had the ability and talent. Otherwise, ChenJianhao would rather owe him a favor than tell Lu Chen.
Before Lu Chen could say anything, Chen Fei 'er said, "Then let's arrange a time and have him come to the company to try. We also want to sign someone, and the key is that he has a good character."
ChenJianhao said seriously, "Xiao Zhuang is a good kid. He doesn't have the bad habits of a rich family. He just wants to be a singer and a star."
He knew that since Chen Fei 'er had spoken, this matter was basically in the bag.
He could finally return the favor.
As for whether or not he would owe Lu Chen another favor, that was another matter.
Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's give it a try first."
After a new round of expansion, Chen Fei Media could no longer serve only him and Chen Fei 'er. That would be a waste of resources, and it would be difficult to continue growing. Therefore, it was imperative to sign someone.
However, whether it was Lu Chen or Chen Fei 'er, they were very cautious in this aspect. They would rather have nothing than a substandard signing. They would not lower their standards just to meet the requirements of expansion, and that would leave a hidden danger for the company's development.
Therefore, up until now, Chenfei Media had not signed a single new artist. Originally, the most likely winner of The Voice of China's final champion might very well be Xiao Zhuang.
Lu Chen had a good impression of Xiao Zhuang. He met all the requirements and was very polite. He didn't seem like a scheming person, and he could tell that he truly loved music.
That was enough.
ChenJianhao smiled, "That's great. This kid will be very happy to know."
Chen Fei 'er pursed her lips into a smile, then asked Lu Chen, "You really don't want to go up and sing a few songs?"
Lu Chen held her hand and said, "Tonight, I only want to sing for you."
He did not come to Forget Worries Bar to sing. If he didn't want to sing, then he wouldn't.
Although they had been in love for a long time, Chen Fei 'er still blushed at Lu Chen's words of love, and her heart was stirred.
ChenJianhao, on the other hand, was trembling all over and said unhappily, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here!"
These two guys were getting better at showing off their love. They even dared to say all kinds of mushy words of love.
Lu Chen laughed, then pulled Chen Fei 'er's hand and said, "Let's go."
He wanted to go home.
That was also what Chen Fei 'er wanted.
