His surname was Zhong, but did not reveal his first name… The young man in front who was about thirty years old was the real boss of Feiyun Entertainment.
Cheng Yiran looked at him in surprise and naturally he felt a little bit of pressure from the young boss.
He murmured that the pressure emitting from the man was strong and he slowly sat down after Cheng Yun’s simple introduction— However, this was not a luxury hotel room, nor a well-known wineshop’s cabin, but a music club— K&C, with luxurious decorations.
Cheng Yiran had heard about K&C, which was an ideal place for rich kids to play and for normal people to dream about.
Because many famous musicians or people in the entertainment business often came here.
“Relax, take it as an ordinary chat.” This boss was the second young master, Zhong Luochen, who came from the capital city.
Knowing Cheng Yun had a good impression of the man, Zhong Luochen naturally wanted to know who this person was—because he clearly knew that Cheng Yun was always careful and would not dare make promises if he was uncertain.
“Well… Ha, let’s relax as Mr. Zhong said! Come on, Cheng Yiran, what would you like to drink?” Cheng Yun immediately began to smooth the atmosphere.
Li Zifeng dared not speak and he would not say anything for Cheng Yiran— because he knew the character of the big boss.
“I am not experienced in wine.” Cheng Yiran shook his head. “Director Cheng, please do as you like.”
“Well… OK, let me make the decision. ” Cheng Yun smiled— this was giving him face.
He liked this.
Of course, most brands could be found here— most people came here for drinking and chatting. Making music was also a main thing… But as for food, there were only fruit and snacks.
Then, Cheng Yiran found that Mr. Zhong did not s[peak much and he was very quiet… This did not give off an arrogant impression superior but instead, ensured people not to be rash around him.
They were both young people, but Chen Yiran felt they were worlds apart.
At this time, Cheng Yun stopped his interesting story and suddenly said, “Oh, Cheng Yiran, you’re here anyway… how about showing us something? ”
Someone finally said this!
Cheng Yiran thought that in his heart— since entering this K&C, he intuitively thought it would not be so simple. It seemed that seeing was believing and the boss was testing him.
But he had enough confidence.
Facts were better than words, then let it be! Cheng Yiran nodded and showed a smile. He had prepared for it somehow— He never left behind the guitar which he got from the mysterious businessman, he even took it when he came into K&C.
“You look very confident.”
Seeing Chen Yiran on stage, Zhong Luochen lightly smiled— In Li Zifeng’s view, this kind of smile was almost perfect… perfect like a dream.
But somehow he thought this was not a smile that came from the heart, but a smile… performed by a best actor winner. Was this big boss acting for himself with all his heart?
That thought flashed across Li Zifeng’s mind but he soon ignored it… Was it necessary for him to act for himself?
The only reason could be that this man was too perfect.
Cheng Yun now smiled and said, “Mr. Chong, you should listen to his live performance.”
Zhong Luochen didn’t reply, but waved his hand, then he slowly turned around, quietly waiting— At this moment, Chen Yiran was naturally preparing in K&C.
He didn’t ask for any other temporary performers because they would not perform well since they hadn’t worked together before. Therefore, he plugged in the wire of the audio. Then, after adjusting the volume, he sat on a high stool on the small stage.
He had no stage fright since he was experienced and the magic guitar holding in his hand also gave him an incomparable confidence.
Cheng Yiran smiled while holding the microphone in front of him, “The atmosphere here is so good, so let me sing something… Hotel California, I hope you like it.”
Chen Yiran’s voice was not filled with life experiences like the original singer; his voice was obviously young and full of tension. After a few days for singing lessons, some minor mistakes had been corrected and the first sentence he sang now was more natural and fluent than usual.
Once the guitar was played, it caught the guests’ attention. K&C was filled with circles of professional and sometimes, there were big shots.
Everyone here knew something about the music— but their knowledge about the music now was unprecedentedly rocked by the sound of the guitar.
Though its beginning was very simple without much skill, its first note was like quicksand that slowly pulled people into a soft whirlpool, deeper and deeper… making them unable to extricate themselves.
Some female customers even showed infatuated looks.
K&C suddenly became quiet… like the deep of night. People seemed to be taken into a foreign hotel in the midnight to look at the twilight around it.
Zhong Luochen listened to the guitar just like all the guests did— but at the same time he carefully observed the reactions of the people around him. Their expressions, their movements and their eyes didn’t escape from the gaze of the second young master of the Zhong Family.
He clearly knew that these people were all conquered by the young man on stage… but he was not.
He was not interested in it.
Zhong Luochen soon noticed his problem— he had lost his interests, and besides, he even lost love, the ability to enjoy happiness.
Only the remaining sense of accomplishment could stimulate his spirit— Apparently, listening to his song didn’t give him any sense of accomplishment.
Perhaps, he would feel a sense of accomplishment after pushing this young man up to the top podium of the music industry in the future.
No one could guess the idea of Zhong Luochen…The guests here were all immersed in Cheng Yiran’s performance, no one noticed him.
Even Cheng Yun…
Even Cheng Yun didn’t notice Zhong Luochen at that moment— From this, Zhong Luochen frowned unconsciously. He knew the mind of his follower and that he was always ready to display his loyalty at any moment.
But now it seemed that he had forgotten these. It was abnormal… Zhong Luochen began to read the appearance of the guests, but he felt it even odder, “… They seemed to be possessed!”
All of a sudden, Cheng Yiran knocked the microphone and whispered, “Thank you for listening.”
Cheng Yiran had finished his song and the guests in K&C reacted this moment—They applauded together suddenly.
There was no way to compare it with the applause of the audience at the concert— but all the guests here applauded.
It never happened in the history of K&C.
The young guitarist had conquered the ears of everyone here.
The guests were still lost in the scene, then a woman asked Chen Yiran to play once more. After that, an endless stream of demands began to appear.
Cheng Yiran looked at Li Zifeng’s table blankly. He saw Li Zifeng nod his head and gave him an “OK” signal.
“Then I’ll sing another one.” Cheng Yiran smiled.
This feeling of being admired was like a fascinating Mandela flower…
And the guests were absorbed in it once again, while Zhong Luochen was also feeling some doubt—because he couldn’t be intoxicated. Therefore, he felt like an outsider.
So he… gradually had some ideas, or conjectures.
“Catapult to fame in one evening? ” Zhong Luochen narrowed his eyes, reminding of… a boss.
He could find that place through The Zhang Family, but others couldn’t… Why?
…
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I’m Li Zifeng. Maybe some people here know me. And I also see several acquaintances!”
Cheng Yiran didn’t leave the stage until sang four songs had been finished— he felt that if he didn’t take the initiative to step down, the guests here would listen to him until his throat became hoarse.
But this was too abnormal… or was the power of this guitar too powerful? This made Cheng Yiran worry about some other things.
Just after he stepped down, Li Zifeng immediately said, “He is Chen Yiran, I hope you can remember his name. Because Cheng Yiran will be the most important newbie of Feiyun entertainment! I hope you can give more attention later.”
The guests burst out laughing… Of course, people would definitely remember the name Cheng Yiran.
“This man is skillful in advertising.” Looking at Cheng Yun, Zhong Luochen smiled and said this.
Seeing Zhong Luochen being satisfied with the effect, Cheng Yun said, “Li Zifeng has some abilities and skills after joining this circle. If you think he’s alright, shall we use him?”
Cheng Yun wouldn’t speak badly about a person in front of Zhong Luochen… because he knew the second young master didn’t like gossip.
“As you see fit.” Zhong Luochen suddenly stood up, buttoning up and saying indifferently, “I have something to do, so I’ll go back first. No need to see me out. Chen Yiran is good, look after him well… he’s worthy to be cultivated.”
“Good-bye, second young master.”
Cheng Yun respectfully said… Since Li Zifeng and Cheng Yiran were not here, he could call him “second young master”.
When Cheng Yiran returned, Zhong Luochen was about to leave. They walked past each other. Chen Yiran looked into Zhong Luochen’s eyes, he was stunned subconsciously because he saw a faint smile in the other party’s eyes.
And at this moment, Zhong Luochen suddenly whispered, “Learn to hide yourself.”
What did he mean?
Cheng Yiran suddenly turned around, but only saw Zhong Luochen’s back. He couldn’t help but have a strange uneasy feeling…
