Chapter 108 - 105 What’s bad about being a dog i
“What is this…”
01′ Zhou was rather perplexed at the sight of Lin Yuan carrying a tea box back to his office after work.
“Tea.”
Lin Yuan said.
01′ Zhou laughed, “Did you go out and buy tea for me? It’s no big deal that I asked everyone to drink up my tea, I’m not so stingy.”
“Here you go.”
Lin Yuan put the tea in the drawer.
01′ Zhou nonchalantly said, “Consider it in my keeping. You can brew yourself a cup whenever you want, no need to stand on ceremony with me.”
“Sure.”
It was only after Lin Yuan put down the tea that he left. As he passed a rest area, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in front of him.
The voice of Sun Yaohuo.
At this moment, Sun Yaohuo was surrounded by a group of young singers from the company. Their eyes were filled with admiration and envy for Sun Yaohuo, a look that was similar to the way the members of the art club looked at Lin Yuan.
Sun Yaohuo was showing off.
To be precise, he was giving a speech on success: “Actually, success is simple, just four words: hard work and diligence. You see only my success but not the sweat I shed to achieve it, have you ever seen the sun at one in the morning?” “The sun at one in the morning?”
“That’s not the point, the point is, I get up every day to warm up my voice, every day I practice my lung capacity, I haven’t smoked or drunk alcohol for all these years for the sake of my singing, I even dare not touch my childhood favorite chili!”
“Brother Yaohuo, say something different.”
“Right, we’ve heard all these before.”
“Who among us isn’t diligent and hardworking?”
Reclining comfortably on the sofa, Sun Yaohuo said leisurely, “Alright, then I’ll share something unique. Actually, there’s a key to being successful!”
“What’s the key!”
The crowd’s eyes lit up.
Sun Yaohuo smiled lightly, “For newcomers, the secret to success is simple: as long as you follow the right maestro, even if you’re tied in the recording studio singing a few random lines, you can make it!”
“Isn’t that being a dog?”
Someone blurted out, then quickly closed their mouth and cautiously looked at Sun Yaohuo, clearly realizing their slip of the tongue.
“Haha.”
Sun Yaohuo patted the person’s shoulder lightly and smiled, “I’ve heard that before. When I made my debut with ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’ many people said that even a dog tied in the recording studio could make the song famous!” The crowd responded, “That’s too much!”
Sun Yaohuo shook his head, “No, no, no, that’s why I say you all are too young. Everyone says I’m Admirable Fish’s dog, but look at where I am today, can you tell me… what’s wrong with being a dog?”
In front of a big star, newcomers are just dogs!
Sun Yaohuo will never forget the scene when Tao Ran handed him a business card, asking him to give up ‘Red Rose’. It was at that moment that he realized what it really meant to be treated like a dog.
The crowd was deep in thought.
Lin Yuan spoke, “Senior.”
On hearing his voice, Sun Yaohuo perked up immediately. Under the stunned gaze of all around, he quickly put on a different face, showing a mix of friendliness, appeasement, and humility, along with a touch of…
Dignity?
“What do you need, junior?”
“Can I get a ride with you?”
Lin Yuan mainly didn’t want to take a taxi.
Before Sun Yaohuo could reply, the people around him jumped up and crowded around Lin Yuan, much faster than him: “Is Teacher Admirable Fish off work? Would you like a ride in my car?”
“I have a car too!”
“I should be the one to take you!”
“My car cost three hundred thousand!”
How did these guys learn so fast?
This seemed like teaching their master a lesson in getting rid of their own livelihoods.
Sun Yaohuo, feeling a strong sense of crisis, quickly moved to Lin Yuan’s side, “The same temperature as usual, junior? I’ll have someone adjust the air conditioning in the car right away. We’ll pass by a milk tea shop that I invested in recently, they have all sorts of flavors. Let’s have dinner around there too. There’s a famous restaurant I had reserved a table at last week!”
The crowd:
Only after Lin Yuan and Sun Yaohuo left, the group looked at each other and began to marvel, “Indeed, we’re miles away compared to Senior Yaohuo!”
“Woof!”
Someone spoke.
The crowd looked at the speaker with confusion, only for him to present a faint smirk of someone who’d stumbled upon a great truth, “Let me show you today, that I can do it too!”
The crowd had an epiphany.
And they started imitating him.
On the other hand, Lin Yuan got in the car.
Sun Yaohuo really did own a milk tea shop.
It was primarily due to the trauma caused by his last failed attempt with Jiang Kui.
The milk tea shop was conveniently located on Lin Yuan’s commute home, with a wealthy variety of flavors. While Lin Yuan was drinking his milk tea, Sun Yaohuo cautioned the clerk, “From now on, this gentleman doesn’t have to pay when he comes for milk tea.”
After the milk tea shop.
Sun Yaohuo took Lin Yuan to have dinner at the restaurant he had reserved beforehand.
The restaurant’s food was indeed exceptional, and Lin Yuan enjoyed it thoroughly.
However, this time, Lin Yuan picked up the bill himself.
He couldn’t let Senior Yaohuo pay each time, Lin Yuan knew the principle of reciprocity well.
“How could I let you pay.”
On the way to Lin Yuan’s housing complex, Sun Yaohuo kept grumbling.
He ordered a heap of delicious food and drinks, which cost a pretty penny, all to treat Lin Yuan graciously and express his gratitude. But he hadn’t expected Lin Yuan to pick up the bill in the end.
This didn’t sit well with him.
“Next time, you pay.” Lin Yuan said.
Only then did Sun Yaohuo give up.
He even considered whether he should open a restaurant that served all the dishes that his junior loved, which would also facilitate his work.
But he didn’t have that much money yet, so he’d consider this issue in the future.
Perhaps it won’t be long?
Yes.
Sun Yaohuo now, was different!
Although ‘Red Rose’ hadn’t been released for long, he had already gained some popularity and showed signs of rising fame.
Today, many commercial performances have approached him, getting in touch with his manager. Although not quite flooding him with offers, compared to the past, it was a different world!
In addition.
The company had clearly arranged Sun Yaohuo’s itinerary for him, offering him all kinds of high-quality publicity, something Sun Yaohuo could only dream of in the past.
Otherwise, why would those newbies in the company cluster around Sun Yaohuo?
Don’t underestimate these guys, they’re new but they’re crafty.
But do they really think they can get anywhere just by groveling?
Fat chance.
My real secret to success is sincere!
…groveling!
Yes, sincere groveling, that’s the ultimate art of being a bootlicker.
My kindness towards my junior comes from the heart, I think his thoughts, worry about his worries, it’s even become a sort of muscle memory!
Those little guys are still miles away from that.
Insincere groveling looks too flashy, with no skill at all, Jiang Kui can kill them in a second!
Upon reaching the entrance to the residential complex.
Lin Yuan suddenly said, “Senior.”
Sun Yaohuo promptly replied, “What is it, junior?”
Lin Yuan looked at him seriously and said, “You’re not a dog, you’re a person.”
Sun Yaohuo was taken aback, then felt a warmth in his heart and nodded heavily.
