In the hotel room, Zhao Lei was amazed by the luxury of the room. At the same time, he stared blankly at Lu Bai asking the hotel staff to bring a stainless steel basin for cooking.
After all, Xu Zheng had specially booked a five-star hotel for Lu Bai. Although the waiter felt that this request was very strange, he still obediently went to the kitchen of the hotel to get two pots. Then, he happily took Lu Bai's signature and left.
"Lu... Teacher Lu Bai…"
One could tell that Zhao Lei was unwilling to call him teacher. After all, he had a tough personality and did not know how to be tactful. Moreover, Lu Bai was a few years younger than him, so it was really awkward for him to call him teacher.
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you bring me here?”
Although Lu Bai's hotel suite was the most luxurious that Zhao Lei had ever seen in his life, and Lu Bai was very approachable and allowed him to sit wherever he wanted, Zhao Lei still felt uncomfortable at this moment.
"I'm treating you to a meal."
Lu Bai opened all six packets of instant noodles as he spoke. He placed three packets in each stainless steel basin and then soaked them in hot water.
Zhao Lei, who had witnessed the process, asked in disbelief even though he had already guessed it in his heart.
"You, you're treating me to instant noodles?？？”
Lu Bai looked up at him and said indifferently.
"What else?"
Zhao Lei was speechless.
To be honest, Zhao Lei felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had heard that Lu Bai's family owed a lot of money and that he lived a frugal life as a celebrity, he did not expect that Lu Bai's treat was really just six packets of instant noodles.
Initially, Zhao Lei was still hesitating. If Lu Bai brought him to some high-end restaurant, it would not be good for him to eat for free. In the end, he realized that he was thinking too much. There was no big restaurant, only big bowls of instant noodles.
This was not to say that Zhao Lei had a high taste and was not used to eating instant noodles. After all, he usually relied on this thing to deal with most of the time. Sometimes, he even could not eat it.
However, Lu Bai's behavior was too contrasting with his celebrity status. It was like an emperor wearing a dragon robe but bending over and doing farm work with his sleeves rolled up. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Moreover, looking at Lu Bai's skillful technique, Zhao Lei knew that the Internet was not talking nonsense. This guy was really an extremely down-to-earth celebrity. He was almost sent to the underworld…
"The hotel has free breakfast, but you have to pay for dinner.”
Lu Baiyun's casual words made Zhao Lei not know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, he suddenly thought of a sentence.
He dared to expose his poverty to the sun!
That's right, if he put himself in Lu Bai's shoes, Zhao Lei felt that no matter how low-key he was, if he were to reach Lu Bai's position today, even if he was as poor as Lu Bai, he would not be able to be so calm.
Not to mention becoming a celebrity, even now, Zhao Lei was still a person who cared about his face. However, from his behavior, it could be seen that most of the time, he was suffering because he cared about his face. Just based on this point alone, Zhao Lei was indeed quite convinced of Lu Bai.
"Slurp, Slurp, Slurp."
When the noodles were almost ready, Lu Bai picked up one of the pots and started eating. He did not know if it was because the Master Level Fighting Technique rewarded by the system had strengthened his physical fitness and caused his consumption to increase, but Lu Bai felt that he seemed to be able to eat a lot more in the past two days.
For instant noodles, one packet was usually too little, and two packets would be enough. However, Lu Bai's appetite was now enough for one person to eat three packets. Moreover, he did not look fat at all. It was strange to say it.
"What are you doing? The noodles will be puffy later."
"Oh, uh..."
Looking at the scene of Lu Bai hugging a large basin of noodles and eating, Zhao Lei was a little dazed. He felt that this scene was very strange. After all, the Lu Bai he had seen before was a famous singer who was on a stage with everyone's attention and singing under the spotlight. He was not the handsome young man in front of him who was eating instant noodles and drinking soup from time to time…
But then again, Zhao Lei had not eaten for the whole day. He was really hungry now, so he could not care less. He picked up the big basin and started eating like Lu Bai. He ate even more fiercely than Lu Bai.
Ten minutes later, Lu Bai and Zhao Lei sat on the sofa in the hotel suite, staring blankly at the empty basin in front of them.
Yes, the two of them finished all six packets of instant noodles. Although they didn't add eggs or sausages, the two of them had endured hard times and didn't feel that this meal was too shabby.
At this moment, Zhao Lei was wondering if he should leave now that he had finished his noodles. After all, Lu Bai only wanted to treat him to a meal. As for the reason, it was probably because he felt sorry for him when he saw that he did not have a single cent in his violin case and was singing a song written by Lu Bai.
As for Lu Bai's " strange " meal, Zhao Lei did not think that it was cheap and not classy. After all, he knew that Lu Bai was probably the poorest celebrity in the entertainment industry.
In addition, it was precisely this kind of meal that allowed Zhao Lei to not feel restrained and uncomfortable. He really ate quite happily.
At this moment, although Zhao Lei was still a little jealous of Lu Bai, at the same time, other than admiration, there was also a strange feeling of sympathy in his heart. He subconsciously felt that even though this fellow had a cold expression, he was still quite friendly.
"Stop wandering. Come back to the imperial capital with me. I'll get my company to sign you.”
When Lu Bai faced someone he liked, his words were always concise and direct. He did not talk about anything else at all. When he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point and directly stated his purpose. The rest was left to the other party to judge.
As for Zhao Lei, he was indeed shocked by Lu Bai's words. He thought that Lu Bai only sympathized with a wandering singer like him. He did not expect Lu Bai to directly provide him with an opportunity.
The rules of the film industry and the music industry were different. Compared to those entertainment companies in the film industry, it was very difficult to get a contract with a production company in the music industry. After all, there was really no shortage of people who could sing in this world. If you went to a random KTV at night, you could hear a few big brothers and sisters who could sing well.
Therefore, those music production companies would never lack singers. Unless you had a unique singing tone, were eye-catching enough, or had excellent creative ability, it was basically as difficult as those young hunks wanting to win the Best Actor Award for a movie as a newcomer to get signed by such a company…
It was also because of this that there were a large number of wild singers who were good at singing. They were either street singers, bar singers, or people who followed the current trend and started live broadcasts.
After all, the music industry relied too much on talent and works. It was too difficult for ordinary singers to make a name for themselves.
In Zhao Lei's current perception, he felt that he was just an ordinary singer. He looked like an ordinary person, and his singing skills were just so-so. Although he had written a few short songs and submitted drafts to some record companies, he had never heard from them again.
Therefore, when he heard that Lu Bai wanted to find a company to sign him, Zhao Lei's head buzzed, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Other than being surprised, Zhao Lei was also confused as to what Lu Bai valued about him.
"Lu, cough cough, Teacher Xiao Bai, you just said that I sang out of tune. Is a wandering singer like me worth your trouble?”
To be honest, if he did not know that Lu Bai was a celebrity and had a good reputation, if it was someone else who suddenly drew such a big pie, Zhao Lei would probably think that the other party was trying to trick him into going somewhere…
It was not that Zhao Lei was belittling himself. It was just that he himself could not see that a poor wandering singer like him had any value other than having two kidneys. Why would Lu Bai want someone like him?
Lu Bai also understood Zhao Lei's doubts, but he did not intend to say his true thoughts.
Although Zhao Lei was poor and could make three packets of instant noodles for a meal, he actually had great potential. Once his talent for creation was activated, it would be out of control.
Moreover, ever since Deng Ziqi wrote AINY, Lu Bai had also realized that unless he was a transmigrator who was born with knowledge, a normal musician, even if he had great talent, would still need a certain opportunity and patience to stimulate this talent.
Therefore, investing in a creative talent like Zhao Lei, other than the fact that it might take a little longer to nurture him, it was ultimately a guaranteed profit.
To be honest, if Lu Bai had the money now, he would have taken down Zhao Lei himself. Unfortunately, he did not. Even if Zhao Lei was willing to follow him, he still had 600 million in debt to pay. He could not let Zhao Lei follow him and starve nine times a day, right?
Therefore, Lu Bai thought that he should not let the fertile water flow into others 'fields. He might as well let Wheatfield Music sign Zhao Lei first. After all, they were all on the same side. After all, he had already missed out on Shen Tong. Now, it was not good to let Zhao Lei go for nothing.
When a person with potential like Zhao Lei really made his own path, it would not be good for him to add icing on the cake. He had to be recruited as soon as possible and slowly nurtured…
At this moment, facing Zhao Lei's doubts, Lu Bai said indifferently,
"Looking at your face, I can see that you can make me prosperous.”
Zhao Lei: "??????"
In fact, it was precisely Lu Bai, who was usually stern and stern, who suddenly cracked a joke that was even more fatal. He could catch people off guard and directly be sucked in.
However, Lu Bai's words were not a lie. After all, if Zhao Lei were to rise under Lu Bai's command in the future, it would indeed be able to bring prosperity to Lu Bai.
However, this reason had caused Zhao Lei a lot of trouble…
On the one hand, he knew that although Lu Bai did not have money, with Lu Bai's reputation, strength, and status, it was easy for him to support him. Even if it was not good, it could at least make him live better than his current life where he had to eat one meal after another.
On the other hand, Zhao Lei was a stubborn person. Lu Bai's strange reason could not really move him.
Hence, Zhao Lei thought about it for a long time and gave an answer that surprised Lu Bai.
