Amidst the gazes of everyone.
Zhao Yuan walked up to Su Yu.
She extended the hand behind her back.
When everyone saw clearly what she was holding, they gasped in surprise.
Because, in Zhao Yuan's hand was not a contract, but a box of pure milk!
She actually went to the office to get pure milk??
"Don't choke, drink some of this. Your physique isn't good, drinking more milk is better for your body."
Zhao Yuan offered the pure milk to Su Yu, a smile playing on her lips.
Everyone gasped again.
Manager Zhao is smiling!
The ice queen boss is actually smiling!!!
What was even more outrageous was that Su Yu was eating in the office, and not only was he not scolded, but Manager Zhao, fearing he would choke, brought him pure milk.
What happened to the promise of not tolerating a single speck of dust?
What happened to treating everyone equally?
As everyone was dumbfounded, Su Yu grinned and took the milk from her hand.
"Thank you," he said with a smile.
"You're welcome. After you finish eating, come to my office," Zhao Yuan said, shaking her head calmly, and turned to leave.
After she closed the office door.
Everyone gradually reacted.
They all looked at Su Yu with peculiar expressions.
"What's wrong..." Being stared at by so many eyes, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Tell us, what exactly is your relationship with Manager Zhao?"
"That's right, we've never heard of Manager Zhao having a younger brother."
"It's truly bizarre. Manager Zhao isn't usually like this, yet she's treating you so well individually. It's truly baffling."
"..."
Everyone bombarded him with questions.
"Could it be... you brat are being kept by Zhao Yuan?"
Old Yuan suddenly blurted out, and the office fell silent.
Everyone stared at Old Yuan in astonishment.
Even Su Yu was taken aback, looking at him with a bewildered expression.
"Ahem, I'm just guessing..."
Old Yuan quickly chuckled and shook his head.
Who is Zhao Yuan?
She was famously a workaholic.
In all these years, no one had ever heard any gossip about her. If it was said that Su Yu was a relative of Zhao Yuan, some might believe it, but no one would believe that Zhao Yuan was keeping Su Yu.
"Could it be because of my talent?"
Su Yu suddenly spread his hands, his expression as harmless as ever.
After he said this.
The office fell silent again.
A silence that was somewhat eerie.
Yes, Su Yu had released two hit songs.
The internal group chat was all discussing Su Yu, this awesome newcomer.
"You guys chat amongst yourselves, I'm going to Manager Zhao's office to talk about something."
"By the way, I'll order takeout later and treat everyone to milk tea. Don't be polite."
The gazes around them gradually changed.
Su Yu felt a slightly sour atmosphere.
He feared that if he stayed any longer, these people would become so jealous they'd beat him up.
So, after speaking, he quickly headed towards Zhao Yuan's office.
Old Yuan was the first to react. He looked at Su Yu's retreating back and cursed with a smile, "This kid, why isn't he a bit more humble..."
"But, what he said isn't wrong."
"Even though I'm very unconvinced, I can't find any reason to refute it..."
"We're both junior producers, but compared to him, I'm like a waste."
"As if I, a mid-level producer, am not a waste..."
"..."
A strong sense of sourness spread across everyone's faces.
However, they knew that Su Yu was right. If he received special treatment from Zhao Yuan, it must be due to his talent.
"No, I need to go find inspiration. I, Old Yuan, am at least a senior producer. I can't be outshined by a newcomer."
Old Yuan took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, and started contacting the girls within the company.
Everyone knew what he meant by finding inspiration, and they all cast looks of disdain at him.
...
Director's Office.
Su Yu had Zhang Yang transfer a few thousand yuan to him.
He ordered takeout on his phone.
He hadn't received his salary yet, so he had to temporarily borrow money from Zhang Yang, the rich second-generation songwriter.
However, given their relationship, let alone borrowing, Zhang Yang wouldn't hesitate even if Su Yu asked for it.
After doing this.
Su Yu told Zhao Yuan the purpose of his visit.
"You want me to help you get a backdoor entry?"
Zhao Yuan looked at Su Yu with a half-smile.
"Cough, cough, it's not really a backdoor entry. My friend has been practicing his singing diligently, and his ability is sufficient to complete ordinary songs."
"Is this friend of yours very important to you?"
"Of course."
Su Yu nodded. Zhang Yang was his childhood friend.
"I'll speak with the Artist Department," Zhao Yuan said softly, blinking.
"Thank you, Manager Zhao," Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhao Yuan agreed readily, he knew that Zhao Yuan was not part of the Artist Department. Arranging someone in another department would surely incur a favor.
"Don't say these things to me. If you really want to thank me, just write good songs. When you become a star producer, my career will be complete."
"Therefore, Su Yu, you don't need to feel burdened because I'm good to you. It's not that I'm unconditionally good to you; the potential you've shown earns this qualification."
Zhao Yuan had been in this industry for over a decade and had mentored countless newcomers.
She had also brought out a few senior producers.
However, she had never brought out a star producer.
To personally nurture a star producer had always been Zhao Yuan's wish.
But, producers of that caliber required more than just effort; they needed talent.
In her eyes, Su Yu possessed this talent.
"Don't worry, I will fulfill your career wish," Su Yu said with a confident smile.
He possessed the cultural treasure trove of an entire world.
This was the capital of his confidence.
Becoming a star producer was difficult for others, but for Su Yu, it was merely a matter of time.
"I like your confidence. I hope you can continue to maintain it."
Zhao Yuan also smiled.
She recalled when Su Yu came for the interview. At that time, she had considered Su Yu a naive greenhorn who knew nothing. Unexpectedly, she was proven wrong on the spot.
However, Zhao Yuan was not angry at all; she was only delighted.
Delighted that she hadn't missed a genius by judging by appearances.
"By the way, how is Lin Yanyu's song coming along?"
Suddenly, Zhao Yuan remembered that there was only a little over a month left until Lin Yanyu's competition.
The money had been collected, and if she couldn't deliver the song, it would be very troublesome.
"It's almost done. When I had free time before, I wrote a few ancient-style songs. I've found a suitable one and will finish modifying the details in the next few days," Su Yu said, slightly taken aback, then smiled.
He could produce "Blue and White Porcelain" right now, but he wasn't doing so.
The quality of this song was too explosive, and he needed a better reason.
Otherwise, faced with questions from Zhao Yuan and his colleagues, he wouldn't be able to explain.
"Alright, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're still a newcomer, after all," Zhao Yuan nodded.
She knew that a good song couldn't be written on demand.
Moreover, Su Yu was just a newcomer, and challenging such a difficult song did indeed bring considerable pressure.
Therefore, after asking about the progress, she didn't press further.
She feared that giving Su Yu too much pressure would hinder his writing.
"Then, Manager Zhao, if there's nothing else, I'll be going," Su Yu didn't offer further explanation.
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, if everything goes as expected, your friend will be able to join the company tomorrow."
After thanking Zhao Yuan again, Su Yu left her office.
Coming outside.
The milk tea and cakes had arrived.
His colleagues enthusiastically invited Su Yu to join them. Unable to refuse their warm invitations, Su Yu chatted with his colleagues for a while before leaving the company.
