It was the same as last time.
Everyone who knew Su Yu sent him congratulations on WeChat.
It was nearing the New Year.
Everyone was very busy. Except for Zhang Yang, who became an internet celebrity and was relatively free, Gong Juren and others, who debuted as traditional singers, were constantly running between various television announcements.
Su Yu also received many business offers from television stations, but Zhao Yuan turned them all down.
This was because she knew that Su Yu was a low-key person and didn't like to be in the spotlight.
Su Yu didn't say much about this, preferring to let things happen naturally.
One day, Su Yu went to the company to discuss a custom song for the Martial Arts Association with Zhao Yuan. After the discussion, he left the company.
He ran into Zhang Wei, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Yu... Brother Yu."
He seemed a little awkward calling him that.
"Heh heh, you're older than me, just call me Xiao Yu. Calling me Brother Yu makes me feel awkward," Su Yu said with a light laugh.
"It's not awkward. You helped me become popular again, so it's only right to call you Brother Yu."
Zhang Wei took a deep breath and put on a natural smile.
"Alright, you don't have to say that. You sang 'Gu Yong Zhe' so perfectly, you have the talent."
Su Yu nodded. It was just a name, no need to dwell on it. He wasn't someone who cared about such things.
"Brother Yu, have you had breakfast yet?" Zhang Wei suddenly asked.
Su Yu was taken aback and said, "Not yet. I was just discussing some matters with Ms. Zhao and was about to go get breakfast."
He had talked about the program with Zhao Yuan early in the morning.
Now, as he went downstairs, he was planning to go to the bun shop next to the company to buy some buns.
However, he hesitated a little because that bun shop often ran out of soy milk.
So, after thinking about it, he decided to go back to his family's noodle shop.
"Does Brother Yu know that bun shop over there?"
"Yes, do you like it too? Their taste is quite good, but they often don't have soy milk."
Su Yu shared his experience.
Old Yuan had also complained to him about this before.
They had even reminded the owner about this issue specifically, but the owner didn't seem to pay much attention.
"Heh heh, I've taken over that bun shop. From now on, I'll make sure they pay attention and make more soy milk."
Zhang Wei said with a sheepish smile, rubbing his hands.
"Oh? You became the owner of that bun shop?"
Su Yu was surprised.
"That's right, Brother Yu, let's go, I'll treat you to breakfast."
"How can I impose..."
"It's fine. Although I'm the owner now, the taste hasn't changed. Also, I wanted to ask you for a favor."
"What favor?"
"I'd like you to guide their work. I've already informed the employees. From now on, you can come to the shop anytime to eat. If you have any suggestions, you can tell me. You'll be our shop's golden taste tester, and all tastings are free."
"Uh, I'm not exactly a professional, I can't really tell the good from the bad."
"No, that's not true. The suggestion you just made was excellent. You don't need to be a professional, just think from a customer's perspective."
"Alright. I didn't expect Zhang Wei to have plans to go into business."
Su Yu nodded.
Now it was good, his breakfast money was saved too.
"Heh heh, just a small hobby."
Zhang Wei's face lit up with joy upon receiving Su Yu's agreement.
"Mhm, my friend Xiao Gong also likes doing business. I'll introduce you guys when there's a chance."
Su Yu suddenly thought of Gong Juren.
Both of them liked doing business, so it would be good for them to meet.
"Brother Yu, you mean Gong Juren? I already know him."
"Heh heh, I almost forgot you're in the same department."
Su Yu was a bit surprised, but it made sense.
Since they were in the same department, it was natural for them to know each other.
"Let's go, we can eat and chat at the shop."
Zhang Wei said with a smile.
Not only did they know each other, but he and Gong Juren had also become good brothers.
Moreover, the idea of opening a breakfast shop was taught to him by Gong Juren.
Before, when he went out to eat with Gong Juren, they chatted for a while and felt like old friends.
When he stated his intention.
Gong Juren generously shared his secrets to success.
It was then that Zhang Wei realized that everyone's success was not accidental.
The moment he heard Gong Juren list all of Su Yu's preferences and taboos without a pause, he understood why the other person had succeeded.
They had a heart-to-heart talk.
Gong Juren was also willing to share his notes.
Zhang Wei was very touched by this.
He felt that in addition to his senior brother Li Yunchuan, he had gained another good brother.
...
The breakfast shop.
Since it was located near an office building.
Business was very busy before work.
However, it was almost ten o'clock now, and there were not many people in the shop.
Under the warm welcome of the employees.
The two of them sat down in the breakfast shop.
"Zhang Wei, judging by your accent, you're not from around here, are you?"
Su Yu said with a smile.
Although Zhang Wei spoke Mandarin very standardly when singing, he still had a slight accent when he spoke.
"Heh heh, I'm from Yue Province."
Zhang Wei said sheepishly.
"As expected."
Yue Province was located by the sea in China, and the pronunciation of Yue dialect was similar to Cantonese in his previous life.
Therefore, generally speaking, it was normal to have a slight accent when speaking Yue dialect frequently.
As the two were chatting.
Two men in suits suddenly entered the shop.
They glanced around the shop, saw Su Yu, looked at their phones, and then walked directly to Su Yu's table.
"Excuse me, are you Teacher Ting Yu?"
The leader, who was in his thirties, was humble and polite in his demeanor.
"Who are you?"
Su Yu frowned. He didn't recall seeing these two people.
"Heh heh, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Wenming, and I'm an employee of the composition department at Dingsheng Entertainment."
"Dingsheng Entertainment?" Su Yu was surprised. He had heard of Dingsheng Entertainment. It was a major company in Kyoto and ranked among the top entertainment companies in China.
"That's right. We were incredibly surprised when we received your information and found out how young Teacher Ting Yu really is," Jiang Wenming said with a light laugh and flattery.
Su Yu just smiled and waved his hand.
He wasn't overly surprised.
Everyone at Xinghui knew about his identity as Ting Yu.
If anyone wanted to investigate, it would be easy to find out.
However, Zhang Wei, standing beside him, was incredibly shocked.
Because, having been in the industry for so many years, Dingsheng was undoubtedly one of the strongest entertainment companies in China in his eyes.
The fact that they had traveled all the way to Shuangqing City to find Su Yu, the reason was self-evident.
Poaching talent!
This was not uncommon.
The fact that an industry giant had traveled all the way to Shuangqing City to poach Su Yu, that was what shocked him.
However, on second thought, Su Yu was indeed worth it.
Given the talent he had displayed, he deserved it.
"Is there something?"
Su Yu was immune to such praise. He didn't like people investigating him, and their sudden visit had ruined his appetite for breakfast.
Besides, if you're going to investigate me, shouldn't you be more thorough and find out my preferences?
Why compliment my youth?
Why not compliment my handsomeness?
"Ahem... then I'll get straight to the point. Our CEO Qi at Dingsheng greatly admires your talent and would like to invite you to join Dingsheng Entertainment."
Jiang Wenming noticed Su Yu's impatience and quickly said with a smile.
"I'm not interested." Su Yu replied without thinking.
"Teacher Ting Yu, don't rush to refuse. We understand that you're only a senior producer at Xinghui. To be honest, your talent is being buried in a small company like Xinghui."
"Our CEO Qi said that as long as you come, we'll immediately sign an ace producer contract with an annual salary of one billion, and you only need to produce five songs a year!"
"You'll have access to all of Dingsheng's resources. You can cooperate with any first-tier singer if you ask, and there are also opportunities to collaborate with top stars..."
As he spoke, he noticed Su Yu's strange expression and stopped.
"Wh-what's wrong?" Jiang Wenming couldn't help but be stunned.
Did he say something wrong?
Or were the conditions he offered not enough?
That was a billion, plus opportunities to collaborate with first-tier singers and top stars.
Why didn't he seem tempted?
The two looked at each other.
Su Yu curled his lips and said with a light smile, "If you're done, please leave."
Su Yu's sudden refusal.
Not only Jiang Wenming and his colleague, but even Zhang Wei was frozen in place.
Putting aside the one billion salary, the opportunity to collaborate with top stars was the dream of all producers!
