Chapter 23 Jay Chou’s Envy

The sun sets outside the hospital gate.

Jay Chou, who had called his mother in advance and said he would not go home for dinner tonight, stood at the intersection with his teeth bared, holding his waist with one hand, grinning as if he had just fallen down——

Not long after, a car stopped in front of him.

"Get in the car Jie Lun, the hotel has been booked. Let's go there first. Wen Lan has to put on makeup, so we will arrive a little later." Liu Genhong, who was wearing sunglasses, rolled down the window and raised his hand towards the person who had his fate. The good brother of friendship said hello.

Zhou Jielun, who was grimacing in pain and gasping for breath, hurriedly got into the car. This strange appearance naturally aroused Liu Genhong's doubts——

"What's wrong with you Jie Lun? Have you still not dealt with the gas poisoning?"

"It's okay, I just slipped when I was walking on the stone steps and fell."

Feeling the burning pain in his waist, Zhou Jielun gritted his teeth in pain and shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him: "Where's Zhou Yi, when will he arrive? Have you said anything?"

"He said he was still discussing the choreography for his MV with the choreographer. He will probably arrive around seven o'clock." Seeing that his good brother was indeed fine, Liu Genhong restarted the car and answered casually while turning the steering wheel.

"The choreography in the MV? Is he a dancer?"

"That's not clear, but Warner Bros. has Aaron Kwok at the forefront, and Zhou Yi's appearance is also very good. It's not impossible to bring out a new Aaron Kwok."

Speaking of this lifesaver, Liu Genhong also spoke with emotion: "Thanks to the fact that the house Warner arranged for him is on the same floor as my house, plus he came back late that night because of practice, otherwise we might all have died there. "

Jay Chou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was immediately excited when he heard this, and his expression was obviously still filled with sadness.

He is still young, only 21 years old this year, and he still has his mother, grandmother and other relatives at home. If he died of gas poisoning, he couldn't even imagine the scene where the white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift...

God bless.

"Gen Hong, what do you think I should give him to thank him?" Jay Chou said after thinking for a long time but couldn't figure out what to give him to express his feelings.

You can't just say that someone saved you and then just treat you to a meal and then write it off. Even if Zhou Yi could accept this, Zhou Jielun couldn't accept it in his heart.

But what’s embarrassing now is that he can’t give away anything too expensive because he’s poor;

But he couldn't get rid of the cheap things, so he was stuck here if he was neither good nor bad.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We don't know what he likes, so we can only give it to the more expensive one for now. At least it's a piece of our heart."

Liu Genhong obviously had some headaches when he talked about this, but he still took good care of Jay Chou, a good brother, financially: "I will help you out with your share first, and then you will gradually give it to me after you make money." Bar."

As an artist, although he has basically gradually become a fool, Qian Liu Genhong obviously still saved a lot.

"I asked Brother Xian. Zhou Yi is a top student from a mainland university and is still a junior. So I bought you an expensive pen. You can give this to him tonight to express your gratitude."

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Liu Genhong pointed towards the empty back seat. Jay Chou turned his head to look, and two beautifully wrapped gift boxes came into view.

"I saw that he didn't have a watch on his wrist, so I gave him a brand-name watch. Wen Lan was going to give him a brand-name wallet.

"Although these gifts are not enough compared to the life-saving grace, at the moment this is all we can think of."

At this point, Liu Genhong paused: "How about Jie Lun, can you help Zhou Yi create a few more songs? He is a singer, and songs should be very important to him, right?"

As a creator, Jay Chou's talent is obvious to all in several small circles within the company.

"I'll try my best, but I don't know what his album style is like, and I'm not sure if he can accept my songs."

Due to many cancellations last year and this year, Jay Chou's confidence in himself is obviously not as high as before.

Moreover, for newcomers like Warner, who are eager to be promoted by big companies, it may not be his turn to have his songs selected.

At the same time, Zhou Yi, who was in the dance studio, checked the time and said goodbye to his dance teacher. After going to the bathroom and washing his face with cold water, he hurriedly took the elevator downstairs.

It's time for him to set off.

Although the hotel address mentioned by Wen Lan on the phone was not far from the dance studio, the taxi traffic jam had to be considered.

It's peak traffic jam time right now.

Zhou Yi planned it very well. In half an hour, he could arrive on time no matter how heavy the traffic jam was. Until, he discovered another problem——

You can’t even get a taxi from Nima!

Watching the taxis carrying passengers whizzing by at the intersection of the building, Zhou Yima, who did not have a car and did not have a Baodao driver's license, was stunned.

At this moment, he missed the convenient and fast taxi-hailing software of later generations.

How about calling your agent who doesn't know what he's doing every day to come and see you off?

Zhou Yi took out his Nokia from his jeans pocket and fell into thinking.

But before he could think about it for long, two harsh whistles suddenly pierced his cochlea——

Surprised, Zhou Yi subconsciously turned his head and followed the sound, and a burgundy Ferrari sports car came into his sight.

The main driver of the sports car, a young and beautiful single-eyelid beauty, was leaning her elbows on the car window, showing him an enthusiastic smile: "Zhou Yi, do you need me to give you a ride?"

"Miss Xiao? Why are you here?"

The moment he saw Elva Hsiao, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes immediately fell on her eye-catching fashionable dress.

Her long, jet-black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her close-fitting midriff-baring short sleeves clearly outlined her figure in its prime. Under the blue hot pants, her long and powerful legs and muscles from dancing were perfect.

As the only diva in the four majors and three minors at the beginning of the millennium whose personal fashion sense has been at the forefront of trends since her debut, Elva Hsiao's temperament is indeed outstanding enough at this stage.

"I have to practice dancing here every day to prepare for my second album. Also, didn't I say last time, just call me Elva."

Elva Hsiao, who slowly drove the sports car to the side of the road, threw the bag on the passenger side behind, then turned her head towards him and tilted her head: "The taxi is very busy at this point, if you don't mind, I can give you a ride. One ride.”

"Thank you very much, Elva."

Zhou Yi looked at the time and thought for a moment, but did not refuse, but thanked Elva Hsiao gratefully.

"You're welcome. That's how taxis are here on Baodao. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing the man get into the car, Elva Hsiao restarted the accelerator and asked: "Where are you going?"

"Tao Yixuan, Xiao——Do you know where Elva is?"

After recalling the name of the restaurant that Wen Lan had mentioned on the phone before, Zhou Yi, who quickly fastened his seat belt, gave the name of the restaurant.

"Of course, I've eaten there a few times. The taste and environment are good, and I have a good taste."

The sports car's engine roared and exploded down the street. Zhou Yi, who squinted his eyes slightly due to the strong wind, looked at the night scene of the city that was speeding back around him, and was a little curious: "Speaking of which, you are also a popular artist now. Aren't you afraid of being photographed without any disguise?"

The paparazzi on Baodao take photos of popular celebrities as well as those on Hong Kong Island.

"You can take pictures if you want. Ever since the album became a big hit, I have become accustomed to it. Even when I go out to eat, I will be photographed by the paparazzi for more than a dozen times." Elva Hsiao, who has experienced the early stage of fame, has obviously adjusted her mentality and doesn't care about it.

She debuted at the end of last year, and her first album has sold nearly 500,000 copies so far, which is enough for her to keep pace with the diva Lin Yilian who jumped to another job. The old and the young directly support Virgin Records.

This has led to everyone at Virgin Records treating her, who is only 21 years old, as a treasure. Yao Qian, the general manager of Virgin Records who discovered her, has immediately secured her position, and her words in the company The power is greatly increased.

The most direct consequence of the mentor's increased voice is that he can help Elva Hsiao deal with a lot of annoying paparazzi, otherwise she would not drive such a ostentatious sports car to practice dancing.

In a sense, she was also a provocation to the paparazzi.

Young people don't have a temper.

Looking at Elva Hsiao, who had obviously not been severely beaten by the media and was still in high spirits, Zhou Yi could only sigh silently in his heart.

Hsiao Hsiao, who has not yet left Virgin Records and is still under the supervision of her mentor Yao Qian, obviously still has that arrogant spirit.

Red energy nourishes people.

When she switched to Warner in the future, she became a victim of internal strife among the top management and was hidden away. After several consecutive albums, she was unable to achieve her peak performance in the past. The high-spirited spirit in Elva Hsiao's heart completely dissipated into nothingness, and she became a ruthless business performance machine. .

At one time, he was ranked among the top three Taiwanese artists in terms of annual income just by relying on commercial performances. You can imagine how frequent this commercial performance is.

From then on, the news about her was that she was either in a relationship, acting in a business, or had plastic surgery, etc. It was really embarrassing.

"You are open-minded. Aren't you afraid of scandals when you drive me so late at night? You are a popular celebrity now." Zhou Yi, who is fully aware of Baodao's paparazzi, is a little curious.

According to common sense, although he and Xiao Yaxuan had a good chat last time and could barely be regarded as friends who could chat for a few words, they were just acquaintances.

No matter how helpful Elva Hsiao is, she would not take the initiative to give him a ride at the risk of being photographed in this situation.

"I don't care. Anyway, after I become famous, there will be everything written in the newspapers. You are the best one."

Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't seem to adapt to the wind speed of the sports car, Elva Hsiao subconsciously lowered her speed and raised her hand to take out a pair of unopened women's sunglasses from the storage box and handed them to him: "It makes sense, you are so handsome. I won’t suffer if you spread the scandal.”

"...You really understand this reason."

Glancing at himself reflected in the rearview mirror, Zhou Yi reluctantly put on his sunglasses and chuckled: "But I like to hear this, please praise me more."

"If a popular female star like me compliments someone, there's a price tag, 10,000 per sentence."

"Then can you give me a credit first? I'll settle the bill with you after my album is released and I become famous."

"There are so many people releasing records in Baodao every year. Are you so confident that you can stand out? What if you are drowned?" Elva Hsiao, who was driving, joked with a smile.

"Then let me correct you."

Zhou Yi, who was roughly aware of her attitude, rested his elbows on the edge of the car window, raised the corners of his mouth, and the evening wind whistling by his ears ruffled the bangs on his forehead, playfully saying: "I will not only stand out among the singers, The limelight will surpass you."

"So confident?"

"certainly."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Elva Hsiao took control of the steering wheel noncommittally, and with a dashing swish of the tail, the eye-catching burgundy Ferrari sped into the parking space planned outside the restaurant.

The sound of tires squeaking against the ground was so harsh that it attracted the attention of everyone present——

When Jay Chou, who was sitting in Liu Genhong's car, got out of the car outside the main entrance of the restaurant, the first thing that caught his eye was this extremely impactful scene.

A beautiful woman driving a Ferrari drove a man and stole his attention in an extremely flamboyant way.

"Wait a minute, isn't that Zhou Yi in the passenger seat?"

Liu Genhong, who was the first to react, immediately noticed the slender figure getting out of the passenger seat, and his eyes widened immediately.

what's the situation?

Didn't he just come from the mainland?

Why did a beautiful woman driving a Ferrari send him to a restaurant for dinner?

This doesn't look like a taxi at all.

"Book of Changes?"

After being reminded by his good brother, Jay Chou also saw who the man was who folded the sunglasses and threw them back to the beauty, and opened his mouth in surprise: "Wait a minute, Gen Hong, that woman seems to be... Elva Hsiao? "

"How is it possible? Elva Hsiao is a popular star of Virgin Records, and Zhou Yi is from Warner Bros. Fuck! Is it really Elva Hsiao?!"

Liu Genhong, who still didn't believe it at first, saw clearly the woman getting out of the driver's seat of the sports car under the magnificent neon lights at night, and couldn't help but cursed.

This is crazy.

"What's going on? Isn't she from Virgin Records? Why did Zhou Yi come with her?"

"Wait a minute Gen Hong, something seems wrong. The two of them seem to have seen us and are walking towards us." Seeing that Zhou Yi, who was talking to Elva Hsiao, seemed to notice himself parking the car in the corner, Jay Chou suddenly swallowed nervously. He spat and crooked his elbow, good brother.

To be honest, while he was nervous, he was also a little envious.

According to Zhou Yi's previous statement, he had obviously just come to Treasure Island from the mainland not long ago, but unexpectedly he had such a good relationship with the little queen of Virgin Records...

Elva Hsiao even drove him over in a sports car for dinner...

Now he feels like he can't give away his pen anymore. It's not pure enough.

I think he is still working as a cow horse at the age of 21, but Zhou Yi, who has not yet debuted, is chatting and laughing with the popular little diva at the age of 19...

You can really do whatever you want if you are tall and handsome.
