Imperial Capital, Guoyu Building, Wheatfield Music Company headquarters.
A tall and thin young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes walked into the general manager's office.
When the production director of Wheatfield Music, Zhang Yadong, saw the young man, he stood up with a smile on his face and asked his assistant to quickly make tea and get the good tea leaves he had hidden.
"Xiao Bai, sit down."
The reason why Zhang Yadong was so enthusiastic was naturally not groundless. It was because this young man named Lu Bai was really extraordinary.
Although Wheatfield Music was a well-known music production company in the country, it had countless singers and lyricists under it. It had even signed a large number of famous singers in the music industry.
However, this young man called Lu Bai was known as the youngest and most talented composer in the company.
Not to mention anything else, just the six songs released by Maitian Music in the first half of the year, five of which were composed by Lu Bai!
After all, once those five popular songs were released, they immediately became popular all over the country. In just a few days, they jumped to the top of the hot songs on all major music platforms, making Wheatfield Music earn a lot of money.
Therefore, everyone in Wheatfield Music wanted nothing more than to hold Lu Bai in their hands.
As a music prodigy who had just turned 20 years old, as long as he grew steadily, he might become half of the music industry in the future.
"Xiao Bai, this card contains the remuneration for your last song,'Flammable', plus the 200,000 yuan bonus from the company.”
Wheatfield Music was a company with ambition and brains, so they would never let a genius employee like Lu Bai's heart go cold because of a small profit. In terms of money, they had always been very generous and forthright.
This was also one of the reasons why Lu Bai had been working with Maitian Company.
"Thanks."
Zhang Yadong was full of enthusiasm for a long time, but Lu Bai's reaction was rather cold. He took the bank card and did not even give a smile. He still had that cold and unreasonable look.
However, Zhang Yadong did not get angry because of this. He knew very well that Lu Bai had always been like this. His personality was frighteningly cold. Moreover, he was a genius. He was definitely different from ordinary people. As long as he could make money for the company, he could tolerate Lu Bai scolding him, the general manager, to his face…
Furthermore, after working together for so long, Zhang Yadong was also very clear about Lu Bai's family background and his experiences. To be honest, anyone who was involved in such a terrible matter with Lu Bai's family would not be in a good mood. Even if they did not believe in themselves, they were already considered mentally strong.
Speaking of which, Lu Bai was actually a standard rich second-generation heir. His family used to have mines, and there were quite a few of them. His father was also a famous rich man back then.
Unfortunately, in the past few years, due to the influence of the market and Father Lu's complacency, he became muddle-headed. After a few muddle-headed moves, the company's operations plummeted.
In the end, not only did Lu Bai's family lose all their wealth, but they also owed a huge debt of 600 million!
In the face of such a desperate situation, Father Lu chose to end his life. However, the huge debt did not disappear just because of his death. Instead, it was transferred to his spouse, who was Lu Bai's mother.
Lu Bai's mother was unable to withstand such a blow and became mentally unstable. She was admitted to the sanatorium.
Logically speaking, if Lu Bai, the only son in the family, gritted his teeth and steeled his heart, hiding his identity and running away, this debt would not be directly placed on his head.
However, unexpectedly, Lu Bai, who was only nineteen years old at that time and was in his first year of university, resolutely dropped out of school and went home to shoulder this huge debt for his mentally ill mother.
It had to be said that Zhang Yadong still admired the courage of the young man in front of him.
Moreover, Lu Bai had accepted the debt. He was not a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He really wanted to pay it back. Of course, 600 million was a dizzying figure. It was not something that could be paid off by a casual part-time job with a monthly income of 3,000.
Fortunately, there was always a way out. At the beginning of this year, Lu Bai, who had just turned 20, began to show his amazing musical talent after a serious illness and started to compose music.
The first song he released was the popular " Undersea ", which was praised by the wheat field music company. Then there were " The Wind Rises,"" Blue Lotus,"" The Wind Blows,"" No makeup," and the most recent song was " Flammables and Explosions."
The first classic, the first hit, and the variety of styles. The quality was extremely high, and it directly brought popularity to several signed singers of Maitian Music.
Although Lu Bai was the composer behind the scenes, he did not attract much attention. After all, most fans would not pay attention to the composer behind the scenes. They would only care about the singer of the song.
However, Maitian Music was a reliable company. They did not mistreat Lu Bai in terms of economic returns. They even added a high bonus for each song.
In half a year, Lu Bai's income from composing songs had reached more than four million yuan. It sounded like a very scary number.
However, compared to his family's huge debt of 600 million, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, the debt collectors had also seen through Lu Bai's ability and did not dare to force him too much. If Lu Bai could not take it and end it all like his father, then no one would be able to repay this debt. Therefore, the debt collectors all agreed to let Lu Bai repay the debt slowly in installments, and even agreed to interest free.
In everyone's opinion, with Lu Bai's musical talent, it was only a matter of time before he could pay off the 600 million yuan.
Everyone in Maitian Music Company respected and sympathized with Lu Bai.
"Oh, right, Xiao Bai, this laptop was given to you by the company. It's very powerful and suitable for you to compose music. Throw away your old broken laptop. The screen is broken beyond recognition…"
Zhang Yadong smiled as he took out a brand new laptop.
Speaking of which, it made people not know whether to laugh or cry. In order to repay the debt, Lu Bai, a rich young man who earned more than four million yuan in half a year, was extremely poor in terms of living expenses. It could even be said that he was very poor.
He didn't have a car or a house. He lived in a shabby old house in the suburbs and ate very simple meals every day. He didn't even take a taxi when he went out. He took the subway and public transport. The computer he used was second-hand and the screen was broken. His phone was simply a cheap old phone that cost 1,000 yuan, and it was an outdated model.
To be honest, most college students of the same age who came from ordinary families had a better life than Lu Bai.
"Thank you."
Zhang Yadong smiled bitterly when he saw Lu Bai's cold expression.
"Xiao Bai, I know that you have to pay for your mother's hospitalization and treatment fees on one hand, and it's very stressful for you. But don't be so harsh on yourself. I'm afraid that your body won't be able to take it if you live so frugally.”
"I'm fine, Director Zhang. This is a new song I wrote.”
Upon hearing that Lu Bai had a new song, Zhang Yadong was in no mood to persuade him. He was immediately pleasantly surprised and could not help but curse.
"F * ck, he wrote it again so quickly!”
