“This…” Hearing Liam asking her Missy to sing at a nightclub like this, the manager appeared to be awkward. “Young Master Liam, there are too many people here. I’m afraid Missy will get a shock…”
“It’s good that there are many people here. There are even more people in a concert.” Liam grinned as he said. “The masses have sharp eyes. A singer that can gain the liking of the masses must be a good singer. Otherwise, it’s useless regardless of how much you praise her. What do you think?”
Liam was her last hope. Without his support, her bosom friend, Miss Lee Jieun, would only have two choices. One was to give in to the boss’ rule. The other was to be benched, which would mean not releasing a single record or song throughout the entire contract period and being forgotten by everyone once she was past the prime of her career.
Compared to these two choices, Liam was not asking for much. And he was not wrong if she didn’t have the guts to sing in front of the crowd here, it would be useless for her to be confident on her own.
In that case, we might as well go all out! No matter what, this Young Master was known for squandering. There were no rumors of him being a playboy, nor was there any gossip concerning women. She could rest assured that they would be safe. The manager took out her cell phone. “I’ll call our Missy now!”
As she made the phone call in a corner, Liam asked Nayeon, “Nayeon, that Huawei Entertainment, the boss looks rather domineering. Their company is making a lot?”
“They’re okay.” Nayeon whispered. “Movies have not been doing well. The environment has not been very good, after all. But his company did produce two money-making movies. I heard there were about 60 million ticket sales, which earned them quite a bit. They’re at their peak. It should not be easy to take over their company at this time.”
Only 60 million ticket sales for two movies? So little?
Liam got suspicious. In fact, it was only slightly more than 300 million yuan if converted to RMB. After deducting the cost of production and the movie theater’s share, there wasn’t much left. To have earned this little for two movies, it could only be considered a small production on Earth. It was just a little better than the worst. To think that this was considered “at their peak”?!
It seems like, in this world, making a movie is closely related to squandering. I like it!
Very soon, the manager walked over, appearing cheerful. “Young Master Liam, Missy will be here very soon.”
“Um, okay.” Liam propped his feet up on the side table. Someone had already brought drinks over. He took one of them and started drinking. “Does she have any new songs? Old songs will do as well. But they must be good. Don’t sing songs that can put people to sleep. This is a nightclub, after all. You can’t make people sleep after singing two songs.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The manager claimed delightedly. “The company hasn’t been writing songs for Missy due to the rules, but she has composed a few songs on her own, and they are not bad. I will get her to pick two songs with a livelier rhythm.”
“Ai yo, not bad. She writes her own songs? That’s great.” Liam laughed. “If her songs please me, I’ll take her under my new company. I will even cover the fees for the breach of contract with Huawei. How does that sound?”
“Good, good!” The manager was elated to hear this.
Who was this person? The most famed prodigal in all of Tianjing City. To put it in simple terms, he had nothing but money. And there was one good thing about this young master: not only was he rich, but he also squandered money like nobody’s business.
To be under him, all the roads would open with his money. Even if the team was comprised of amateurs, it shouldn’t be too bad. When Missy got famous, she could help the company recruit a few experts. That was definitely better than working at Huawei in a state of anxiety. With the Manoban family as their backers, who would dare to force Missy to do anything she didn’t like?
The classmates peered in and beamed as they saw Liam. “I knew Bro Liam would be here. Bro Liam, what is the mystery present? Show it to us? Everyone can’t wait to see it!”
“Ah, that is all ready. Nayeon.” Liam instructed his most trusted lackey. “Ask the men to bring in the little cuties. They can bring home whichever they like. Find someone to take care of the remaining ones. Um, not for free, of course. I’ll pay them 1,000 yuan a month, accommodation included.”
Taking care of dogs for 1,000 a month? That was equivalent to accommodation and a monthly salary of 5,000 on Earth. That would be a dream job in the capital. It was substantial enough in this world. Nayeon quickly made arrangements.
It was an unforgettable night for those who came to the nightclub to have fun.
It was already bustling in the hall. Before long, some men pushed in cages of all sizes filled with hundreds of dogs. There were puppies, big and magnificent dogs, and small and furry dogs. In a moment’s time, the entire nightclub was filled with barking dogs and screams from people who were afraid of dogs. It was a huge mess.
The dogs brought in were purebreds specifically selected by Nayeon. Each one of them cost at least a few hundred dollars. To allow the classmates to take their pick was a privilege other customers would not be able to enjoy.
If one liked dogs, they would really love these dogs. Even those that didn’t particularly like dogs wouldn’t hate these ones.
As expected, the girls from the class started screaming when they saw these little furballs. The entire hall echoed with their screams, one after another. Some of their pitches were as high as the whistle register, comparable to Vitas on Earth.
A group of people was fighting to stand in front of the cage to request the puppies they had their eyes on.
“I want this one. This Chow Chow is so fun!”
“This Samoyed is too cute! Haha. I want this!”
“Er ha, come here. Er ha, let me touch you!”
The girls mainly went for the puppies. The puppies were the cutest. The boys went for the bigger dogs. Some even wanted Tibetan mastiffs. They could not move after they laid eyes on the Tibetan mastiffs. Liam was giving the dogs away anyway. It would be a pity not to take them.
After about 10 minutes, all 41 classmates had a dog with them. Some held their dog by its leash, some carried their dog. Some classmates were laughing so hard seeing the puppies circling on the table.
Du Xinzhen happily petted the Tibetan mastiff puppy she was carrying in her arms. “I knew at the tip of my fingers that I was right to be here today. Haha. This Tibetan mastiff suits me just fine!”
“Brother Liam is awesome! I’ve been wanting to rear a dog for the longest time, but my family objected to it.” Ling Yimei happily claimed. “If I tell my parents that this Chow Chow was given by Brother Liam, they will definitely not oppose to it. Haha!”
Zhu Xiaoling fondly looked at the husky in her arms. “This husky is so much fun.” Smiling, she said, “This is not bad compared to the panda Sister Tzuyu has.”
Tzuyu had had a considerable amount of fun tonight. When Liam and Nayeon had gone off to discuss some matters, as Liam’s fiancée, she had only been able to help take care of Liam’s classmates. “Xiao Xiaobai’s fur was dyed. I’m not sure what Liam was thinking, dyeing Xiao Xiaobai’s fur. It is so embarrassing to be seen by people.”
What she didn’t know was that after tonight, the price of white Chow Chows would shoot through the roof. Prices would start from 5,000 yuan. It would become trendy to buy a white Chow Chow and dye its fur to make it look like a panda!
