I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 535: The Scumbag with a Conscience

The engine of the Porsche 911 started, and the sound it made was like a cheetah ready to pounce, attracting everyone's attention.

"Come to think of it, he has been wanting to see you for a while. But he kept telling me not to force myself and just go over when you're free."

Xiao Zheng reached out to adjust the navigation route, then thought of something and couldn't help laughing.

“Hey, this old man has been out of the entertainment industry for so long, but who would have thought that he is still so popular and many people still recognize him.

On the plane to Beijing, he signed autographs for several beautiful young fans. No wonder he was called the "housewife killer" when he was young. "

"When did Mr. Li come to the capital?"

Ignoring the explosive gossip provided by Xiao Zheng, Su Chengyi asked.

"It's almost half a month."

Xiao Zheng turned the steering wheel, slowed down the car, and drove slowly out of the university town.

"Master, you are so honored. Mr. Li has many old friends in Beijing, and his family also bought a yard a few years ago. After all, he went to college here.

Speaking of which, even though his old friends are in the capital, they are still well-known figures. Moreover, young master, you should know that the capital is full of department-level cadres.

Every time these people tried to invite him over, Mr. Li refused outright. This time he changed his mind and came here specially. I guess it was actually for you, young master, but it was a good opportunity, and I also went to have tea with old friends. "

Su Chengyi listened to Xiao Zheng's muttering and knew that there was definitely no exaggeration in his words.

"Is there something important?"

"not sure."

Xiao Zheng curled his lips and shook his head.

"For someone like Mr. Li, who has reached this age, it is almost impossible to tell what is important to him. Whether it is fame, power or money, he has long since let it go.

Besides, if I really want to talk about it, it seems that there is nothing he can't handle or that needs to be discussed."

When he said this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but lower his eyes and fell into deep thought.

It happened to be a break from waiting for the traffic light, and Xiao Zheng freed his hand and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't worry, maybe he just wants to chat with you. It's normal for an old man to be afraid of loneliness at his age. And the matter of the handover of inheritance that I told you about last time, you didn't express your opinion, so he might want to ask you again."

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded. Although he was a little nervous, he was not panicked.

After all, Mr. Li’s personality is very different from that of my grandfather. He has always been gentle and emotionally stable. I think he would never do the kind of thing like my grandfather, where he would glare at the younger generation and scold them.

Moreover, Mr. Li has always been caring and taking care of him, almost treating him as his own grandson.

So no matter what the reason for looking for him this time is, it must be for his own good.

The green light comes on and the wheels continue to move forward.

Suddenly thinking of something, Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask curiously:
"By the way, you actually drove this kind of car to meet Mr. Li?"

That's a bit too high-profile.

"uncertain."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zheng had obviously thought of a countermeasure long ago, and he just pushed his sunglasses calmly when he heard it.

"Let's just drive to the front and then find a place to take the subway."

"."

Su Chengyi pulled his seat belt, looked at the bright sun outside, and sighed lightly.

"If you knew this, why did you drive this car here?"

Walking out of the underground garage, Su Chengyi raised his hand to block the bright sun.

"I came here specially to show you my new car, Master. Oh, I have to report it."

Xiao Zheng continued with a playful smile:
"After all, this is the money I earned by following you, young master. I have to tell you that I didn't use it to commit any crime."

Su Chengyi was already exhausted by the sun, and just said slowly:

"It seems that your salary is too high. I think the specifications of Wuling Hongguang should be similar."

He couldn't snatch Xiao Zheng's sunglasses at the moment because the lenses had prescription drugs.

"Don't worry. I have gone through fire and water for you, young master. I am at least one of your generals, right?"

Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Of course, he would not take Su Chengyi's words seriously. As a boss, this guy would never even take a second look at the financial statements.

Even if he secretly took all the money away, Master Su would probably have to wait for several days to find out, and finally say lightly: "Oh, I know."

This young master is not the type to make money, Xiao Zheng would sigh in his heart from time to time.

On the one hand, he has more than enough talent, but lacks emotional intelligence, and hates the ways of the world from the bottom of his heart. If such a person does not have a backer, he will not be able to survive in the entertainment industry from the beginning;
On the other hand, the young master had no interest in making money. Although he seemed to be involved in various industries and had a flourishing sideline business, in fact, he seemed to have been kidnapped to make up the numbers.

No matter how much he looks like an ambitious young CEO on the surface, he is still a socially anxious otaku at heart.

The business struggle in reality is not as simple as what is written in TV dramas. There are so many dirty things involving intrigue. This is obviously not something a righteous young master would be willing to do.

Therefore, he needs someone like Xiao Zheng who has been in the circle for a long time and has become a veteran to lend him a helping hand.

How should I put it, they are a golden pair, Xiao Zheng boasts.

"You've been following me for so long, and this is all you've earned?"

Su Chengyi was silent for a while, thinking about the price of this car.

"a little?!"

Xiao Zheng said "Hey", feeling that his words seemed like he was mocking his beloved car.

"Master, do you have no idea about money? A car worth two million yuan, and you call it a little money?"

"I remember a certain artist's daily salary was 208 million yuan."

Su Chengyi thought for a while and said this.

This is the daily pay of a certain artist with a bad record, which will become a synonym for all celebrity artists in the future.

"That's only possible if you're standing in front of the camera. Backstage staff like us can't compare."

Xiao Zheng shook his head and added in a mean way:

“But young master, people like you who work behind the scenes are different.

After all, you are Mr. Zhi Jinchen, the hottest and mysterious inheritor of the music industry today, the genius producer! You are the boss!"

It started again.

Su Chengyi glanced at him indifferently without commenting.

"Oh, that's right, Master."

Xiao Zheng thought of something from his words, lowered his voice for a moment, and observed the people around him.

"I heard about the audition from your famous star."

"what happened?"

Su Chengyi stood in front of the subway ticket vending machine, scanned the code to get the ticket, and upon closer inspection, he found that it was only two stops away, but Xiao Zheng refused to drive any further.

This time is right before the rush hour, so even in Beijing, the subway station is not too busy.

"This is definitely a good thing for her. I think it's also a good thing for Zhi Jinchen Studio."

Xiao Zheng pushed up his sunglasses, and the smile on his face seemed a little mysterious.

Su Chengyi said "Oh" and stuffed the paper subway ticket into his hand.

"What the hell? I've already said this much, don't you want to ask more questions?"

Xiao Zheng scratched his hair in frustration.

Su Chengyi looked up at the subway sign, confirmed it, then turned and walked down the escalator.

"I don't like being kept in suspense."

".Okay!"

Xiao Zheng complained in a drawn-out tone, thinking to himself that this young master was increasingly developing the strange temper of someone from the art world, and that he did get along well with the old man.

"That's right, Chen and I..." Considering that there would be many people at the subway station, Xiao Zheng changed the subject immediately.

"The lady has discussed it in general terms. According to what she said, her audition will probably be scheduled for the Sunday after next. The role she got is not a big name. Both the part and the character are very ordinary.

However, considering that this is my first attempt at acting and I am not a professional and have no acting training or experience, it is still acceptable.

With the excuse of a friendly performance, it won't be too bad for my reputation. I can use it as a surprise guest as a good friend of Lin Daiyu."

When Xiao Zheng talked about serious matters, he instantly changed from a nonchalant state to the state of the strongest assistant in the circle today. His wording and opinions were very professional, and obviously they had been carefully considered.

"Well, Chen, my girlfriend thinks similarly to you."

Su Chengyi looked up and saw that the current subway train would arrive in one minute.

Xiao Zheng was hurt by the dog-food-sounding name change. While covering his chest, he felt the FFF group flag behind him slowly rising again after a while.

After taking a deep breath to adjust his state, Xiao Zheng continued:

“However, although we can use these excuses to try to lower the expectations of this matter, we can’t really look at this matter with such casual thoughts.

Our attitude needs to be optimistic and positive. No matter what, this is a very important node in her transformation into a dual-role artist in the film and music industry.

If this performance is good and it’s a good start, her future development will be very easy.

So the whole studio has to take this seriously.”

"Ah."

Su Chengyi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and agreed with Xiao Zheng's statement.

It takes someone as experienced as him to think more deeply. For someone like Chen Jinzhi, once she decides to do something, it means that she will do her best and will never take it lightly as she said.

"Besides, as I just said, her getting the audition opportunity is actually a good thing for Zhi Jinchen Studio."

Xiao Zheng looked around to make sure no one else on the subway noticed this side.

"Master, I want to contact Caroline on behalf of Zhijinchen Studio to try to get the theme song for the series."

Su Chengyi had never expected the idea he proposed and was slightly stunned.

“I have checked. Caroline’s previous movie OSTs were all produced by a professional team she has led since her debut. Basically, she took on all the projects by herself.

However, since the last film, some members of the team seemed to have some conflicts with her, so that the unfinished ending song was temporarily outsourced. Many people were very dissatisfied with this, saying that the music at the end was very distracting.

In short, no matter what the specific details of this news are, this is a great opportunity for us."

Xiao Zheng explained his thoughts in a very organized manner.

"However, this may be a problem for you, young master. Because I guess, with Caroline's style, if the deal is reached, she will definitely expect you to complete the production of the entire OST independently.

Although you are famous for your diverse music styles and high quality, it seems that you have never been involved in the production of instrumental music? If you find it difficult, we can discuss the details later. "

At this point, Xiao Zheng suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead.

"Hey! Look at me, I forgot where we were going! When it comes to instrumental music, he's a real expert."

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded and watched the subway door open with a ding.

"Let's go."

While riding the escalator up, Su Chengyi formally gave a response to Xiao Zheng's proposal.

"I think I can try it."

"OK!!!"

Xiao Zheng slapped his thigh excitedly.

A fascinating opening song, an ending song that makes people immersed in it for a long time and don't want to change the channel, and a super catchy BGM inserted at the right time, all contribute greatly to the overall effect of the series.

Su Chengyi knew this very well, so he decided to add fuel to Chen Jinzhi's transformation in this way.

Many of the TV and film clips we watched as children are so unforgettable, and music is a big part of the reason why.

For example, in the classic "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, the BGM when Long Kui sacrificed the sword makes people feel excited when they think about it.

After coming out of the subway station and turning into the street next to it, you will no longer be surrounded by high-rise buildings, but by alleys shaded by trees.

It’s a bit like the way to my grandfather’s house when I was a child.

Su Chengyi thought so as he walked.

But our capital is still the capital, and most people don’t even dare to ask the price of a courtyard house like this, as it is shockingly expensive.

Unlike Tang'an City, it is very easy to buy a house for retirement living in the dilapidated old streets and alleys.

As Xiao Zheng walked, he suddenly sighed meaningfully.

Su Chengyi glanced at him and asked:

"what happened?"

I was clearly very excited about the new business that Zhijinchen Studio "might get".

"Master, I suddenly feel that you are quite manly."

Xiao Zheng said solemnly.

".?"

A slightly speechless question mark appeared on Su Chengyi's face.

"So what was I before in your eyes?"

Xiao Zheng laughed and waved his hands, trying to get away with it, but in the end, he told the truth under the pressure of Su Chengyi's gaze.

"I don't have any problem with you as a person. You are good in every way except your love life, right?"

Xiao Zheng expressed everything in a way that made him hesitate to speak.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi guessed what he was trying to say, but he didn't care too much about it. He just raised his eyebrows to signal him to continue.

"If we look at it from the previous perspective, no matter how we try to justify it, it's a little hard to justify it. The title of scumbag can't be shaken off at all."

Xiao Zheng paused and stopped to observe Su Chengyi's expression.

Fortunately, he looked calm and didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the word "scumbag".

Yes, he has probably judged himself thousands of times in his heart, so why would he be afraid of what others say?

"But if you ask me now, I think you, young master, are fundamentally different from those scumbags who play with people's hearts and have corrupt morals."

"why?"

Su Chengyi didn't expect him to say that, so he stopped and turned to look at him.

"Take Chen Jinzhi's audition for example."

Xiao Zheng sorted out his thoughts and spoke again:

"If she is the kind of scumbag who has no sincerity at all and is just attracted by her beauty, and who is more about exploitation than sincerity in a relationship, I absolutely, I mean absolutely, will not support her doing this.

Because if she only develops as a singer, she will be tied to your Zhijinchen Studio, and you can completely control and clamp down on her career.

Even if the Shura field breaks out completely later, you still have the power and means to control her. You can force her and suppress her so that she can't leave you no matter what.

This is what a scumbag would do if he tried his best, but not only did you not do it, you didn’t even think about it in that direction.”

Xiao Zheng sighed softly and patted Su Chengyi on the shoulder.

"So I say, Master, you are a real man. No matter what, you are really sincere to her.

I guess she was surprised when you took a stand and allowed her to pursue her own career.”

After hearing this, Su Chengyi finally realized why Chen Jinzhi had repeatedly asked him for confirmation at that time.

So this is ah.

Su Chengyi lowered his head, his footsteps stepping on the fragmented sunlight between the shadows of the trees.

A bird flew overhead, its wings drawing a free arc, and landed on the eaves not far away.
