The next two or three days were busy.
The novel "The Legend of Wukong" continues to sell well, Wang Teng and Xiong Ying are in field music and dance training, while Xiong Ran and Yu Shuying are looking for a suitable new home.
God helps those who work hard. After screening and viewing houses with several real estate agencies, I finally found a suitable target.
There is an old villa area between Xiongying venue and Shanghai Conservatory of Music. It is a single-family house with a yard, which is pretty good.
…
Green mountains and clear waters, quiet and distant.
Of course, it can't compare to the luxurious single-family houses in ecological gardens nestled in the mountains and by the water, but in this neighborhood, it's also a good environment, quiet in a bustling city, and exquisite.
It is a small detached house with three floors in European style, covering an area of less than 300 square meters. There are narrow roads on both sides, small courtyards in front and back, green grass, bamboo flowers and grape racks. Not to mention building a doghouse, even growing various home-cooked vegetables would be no problem.
Of course, Xiong Ran doesn't have the time or leisure to do that.
The interior decoration is generally acceptable. Although it is not the latest trendy style in recent years, it is not the old-fashioned style of the last century. It can be considered a low-end luxury style. Xiong Ran and Yu Shuying are quite satisfied with it. If one or two people live with a dog, there is no need for a big room. A small and exquisite room is the most suitable.
There is a large living room in the middle of the first floor, surrounded by the kitchen, dining room, storage room, nanny room, etc. The second floor is surrounded by several guest rooms on three sides. The third floor has a master bedroom and two large bedrooms, plus a study, which is considered the master's floor.
Of course, each of the three floors has independent sanitary rooms, which are not shared or abused, and the structure is very clear.
However, although you can move in with just your luggage, for safety reasons you still need to ask the housekeeping service to tidy up and clean the place from top to bottom, and replace the bed sheets, daily toiletries, etc. to keep it fresh and clean.
"Without some money, I really can't afford to rent..."
After signing the lease contract, on the way back to Xiong Ying, Xiong Ran sighed, the monthly rent for the two-bedroom apartment of less than 100 square meters he rented before was 5,000 yuan, which was already a lot. After all, it was 2012 and the housing prices were not low.
After all, if the current economic development continues, the time and space will be the same as on Earth in a few years. Compared with the current housing prices, they will increase by 100%, from 50,000 yuan/square meter to 100,000 yuan/square meter.
Today, the rented villa has a two-year contract, and the monthly rent is as high as 30,000 yuan. The annual rent alone is 360,000 yuan, and 720,000 yuan for two years! Of course, this is also because it is close to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and it is a nearly 250-square-meter three-story villa with a courtyard.
The size of the house is suitable for school districts, and the location is good. The rent of 30,000 yuan per month is not high.
One deposit and one payment, um, don't get me wrong, it's one quarter! So today, 180,000 yuan in rent was paid.
Add in the 50% off agency fee of 15,000, as well as housekeeping, building a kennel, purchasing bed sheets, bedding and other daily necessities, and the minimum is 230,000...
Sure enough, money is never wasted at any time!

Chenxing Entertainment, Zhao Shiqi’s office.
Xiong Ran didn't get the MVs for the two songs he wrote for Bai Xiang, Jin Kai and Qi Nuan, but he did get the vocal versions. As the vice president of the music section of the agency, he is more or less proficient in music knowledge and market trend analysis.
Therefore, although the two songs, "A Little Sweet·The First Love", are not excellent in any way, the lyrics, music and rhythm will definitely be very popular and easy to spread.
After all, when many people listen to songs, the first thing they pay attention to is the rhythm and melody, and the second is the lyrics.
'A Little Sweet·The First Person I Love' has both of these qualities, and coupled with Jin Kai and Qi Nuan's growing popularity, the album released on New Year's Day was a big hit, and it was not an illusion.
"Oh, what a talent..."
Behind his desk, Zhao Shiqi thought of the songwriter Xiong Ran, who wrote great songs one after another. It was not just luck, but real talent.
"I was careless. What a pity..."
Zhao Shiqi shook his head and sighed. Although he was a second-generation rich man and liked all kinds of mature women, he still admired talented people. In Chenxing, as long as male and female artists had potential and talent, he would support them.
The reason why he set his sights on Qiu Ruixue was because he saw Xiong Ran as decadent and worthless, while Qiu Ruixue was eager for a star career, so he probably acquiesced even after sleeping with him, which was why he finally made the move.
Otherwise, if Xiong Ran and Qiu Ruixue are both popular in Chenxing and creating profits, it will not happen for the time being.
After all, artists are Chenxing’s cash cow. We can’t just hold them in high esteem, but we can’t play with them too wantonly.
Who would have thought that Xiong Ran was actually a hidden talent.
"Jin Kai Qi Nuan? So damn clean..."
Zhao Shiqi's tone was a little helpless as he thought again. As a rival in the music sector, he had been keeping an eye on Bai Xiang for a long time, regardless of whether they were popular veteran artists or potential new stars, but with little success.
It had been alright before, but this time, Jin Kai and Qi Nuan’s New Year’s Day joint album contains songs written by Xiong Ran, so it must be blocked, from two aspects.
1. The album songs are overwhelming in terms of quality!
2. Create a personal image and dig up dirty information to expose scandals.
It's a pity that Baixiang artists have a very good reputation in the industry and their private lives are mostly decent. It's amazing that there hasn't been any major scandal for such a long time.
No, it can’t be so peaceful and calm. Since Baixiang supports Xiong Ying, then all new and old artists should be attacked!
I just don't believe it. We must be on guard against thieves for a thousand days and never let our guard down!
…
"Hello, Mr. Lin..."
"Hello Director Lin..."
On this day, Lin Hongmei came to the No. 1 recording studio on a certain floor of the company. At this time, Baixiang's gold medal music producer was making the final adjustments. Jin Kai and Qi Nuan's New Year's Day album was basically completed. After all, the tune of "The First Person I Loved" was not difficult, and Qi Nuan could master it in two days.
It took some time to shoot the MV, but it was all done within three days, so I have some free time now.
Jin Kai and Qi Nuan are both recent graduates. They signed with Baixiang since their sophomore year in art school. They officially finished their studies this summer and are now fully committed to their singing career. Lin Hongmei is very optimistic about them.
Jin Kai is a handsome and warm-hearted man who looks like a big boy next door. He is warm and gentle, a little shy when he smiles, and has the potential to be a little puppy.
Qi Nuan, who is dressed in a trendy way and has a pretty face, looks lively and cool.
When the two of them are put together, they look more like siblings than a couple. The joy in their eyes, without any love or jealousy between lovers, is quite surprising.
Logically speaking, when a man and a woman study and rehearse together for a long time, they will eventually fall in love, but that's not the case.
Baixiang does not reject internal romances among its artists, but they must report it and the company will provide all-round support.
Of course, if possible, it's better to be single.
After all, single idols and goddesses are the most popular and supported by fans. Having a partner is not conducive to increasing their fame because it is impure.
"Just take a good rest recently and don't run around..."
Lin Hongmei said calmly, "There is still half a month before the album promotion. You may be watched by paparazzi sent by Chenxing or other rival companies. You must be cautious during this period. You only go between the company and home..."
"Don't go to bars or discos, and don't go on unnecessary dates. An artist's career cannot afford any mistakes, so be cautious..."
"This is the fate of Qiu Ruixue recently!"
Hearing this, Jin Kaiqi nodded.
Xiong Ran and Qiu Ruixue were potential rising stars and their popularity was higher than the two of them are now, but one was half-disabled due to injury three years ago, and the other is in a miserable state now.
Xiong Ran doesn't need to say much, Qiu Ruixue is really miserable.
After three years of unremitting efforts, she had a hope of becoming a quasi-queen of pop. After all, she had already had two albums with sales of over 3 million. However, just on the eve of successfully reaching the top, a scandal broke out and everything came to nothing.
Although this is just asking for trouble, but if the relationship fades and she breaks up early and then gets back together with Zhao Shiqi, there should be nothing wrong with it, at least there is no moral problem.
You have the best deal, and you're eating from the bowl and taking advantage of the pot. You've been proven to have cheated and you're even framing her. Ha, if you don't die, who will
In short, Qiu Ruixue is miserable, but she deserves it!
Since you have embarked on the path of becoming an artist, your personal image must be guaranteed, otherwise you never know when you will be exposed. After all, if you don't want others to know, you had better not do it. There is no wall that is impenetrable, so be careful in what you say and do.
Therefore, always be vigilant and keep steady!

"Slippers, look, this is your doghouse..."
On this day, Sunday, December 9th, Xiong Ran's newly rented villa has been completely cleaned up. The cleaning staff had already cleaned and tidied it up thoroughly on the day before yesterday, Friday, and he went shopping for new things yesterday, Saturday, and moved in today.
Well, Wang Teng and Cai Xiaotong were also drafted in to serve as soldiers, so everything was done in one day yesterday.
However, Xiong Ran still slept in the old rental house last night. After waking up naturally today, he met Yu Shuying for lunch at noon and then took the dog back to the new house.
However, when he saw the doghouse built by converting the grape trellis against the wall in the front yard, Slippers was a little dazed.
He tilted his head, his big eyes full of confusion, what was going on
"What are you looking at? This is your nest..."
“Woof woof, woof woof…”
The next moment, Slippers began to walk around Yu Shuying, sticking out its tongue and biting her trouser legs, dragging itself towards the living room. However, because someone was holding a rope around its neck, the bear would not let it go into the house even if it wanted to.
“Woof woof, woof woof…”
Alaska looked very aggrieved. You guys live in the bedroom, but I have to live in the doghouse in the yard? Do you still have love and human touch
No, I don’t want to live outside, mom, help me!
"You see, it definitely doesn't want to..."
Yu Shuying leaned over and touched the prince's dog head to comfort him, then raised her body and rolled her eyes. To be honest, she had been having a toothache ever since Xiong Ran wanted to build a doghouse for the prince in the yard. An Alaskan is not a local dog, and it is not necessary for it to guard the house. It was too outrageous.
There are so many rooms in the villa, at least the storage room on the first floor can be converted into a dog kennel...
But Xiong Ran just wanted to keep the Alaskan in the yard to guard the house, no matter whether it was a local dog or not.
"It's incredible. It actually knows what's good and what's bad?"
Xiong Ran was a little surprised. This lame dog looked stupid, but was actually quite smart. It knew that the house was more comfortable than the yard. The dog's face was full of grievance.
Yes, seeing that the previous owner was wearing gold and silver, he must have provided the dog with good food, drink and shelter. The conditions in the yard are indeed incomparable to those in the house, so it is normal for the dog to be reluctant and disgusted, but a dog is a dog, no matter whether it is a local dog or a pet dog, its job is to guard the house, so there is nothing wrong with it.
"Just live here, the outer courtyard is your nest!"
Xiong Ran leaned over and touched the big head of the slipper, smiling brightly, "From now on, the task of guarding our house will be handed over to you. The entire front yard is yours, you can play around as you please, but you are not allowed to pee and poop here and there, understand?"
"If you pee or poop everywhere, you will be beaten!"
After the above words were spoken, Alaska seemed to understand. He had a bitter and aggrieved face and stuck out his tongue. The joy of moving into a new home was completely gone. What a devil!
“Woof woof woof, woof woof…”
No, Papa Bear's attitude must improve.
So, Alaska came closer and bit Xiong Ran's trouser leg, then walked in circles. What was even more amazing was that the limp suddenly disappeared and he was back to normal.
From the first time they met last week, including at the pet store and just now when they were walking around Yu Shuying, the Alaskan, which had been limping, instantly became better.
“Woof woof woof, woof woof…”
Alaska bites Xiong Ran's trouser leg and pulls him towards the house. With such a cute big head, I won't pretend anymore!
Oh my god, this dog is pretending to be lame
Xiong Ran and Yu Shuying looked at each other, a little confused!
