《Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant》Contempt
Advertisement
As he looked blankly at Zhang Xiaohua's serious expression which was full of self-confidence and enthusiasm, Yuan Datong's heart gradually melted before it slowly became firm again.
Yuan Datong couldn't think for just himself, he had to think for the brothers and sister who were following him and he had to consider the situation seriously. The situation in the studio had never been optimistic. Fortunately, although the place was small, they had a variety of equipment and it was not a problem to open a small music production company.
‘If so, why not go with it?’
‘If it is successful, it would be great!’
‘There was nothing loss at all.’
After he had decided firmly in his mind, Yuan Datong walked slowly to Zhang Xiaohua's face and immediately put his posture in check. He said: "If you are not kidding around, then, well, I'm in."
Zhang Xiaohua decisively replied: "I've never done this sort of thing before but you can rest assured that I guarantee I will not disappoint you and these fraternal brothers and sister. From now on, we are not only family, but also partners. So whatever we do in the future, if we are united, we will surely succeed!"
Yuan Datong did not say anymore nonsense. He directly stretched out his hand and held Zhang Xiaohua's hand tightly together to show that they had reached a consensus.
After seeing this, Emma and her fellow musicians were also very excited. They gathered around Yuan Datong and Zhang Xiaohua and immediately extended their hand. They all pressed their hands against each others and said in a chorus: "Unity and success! "
Suddenly, there was a resonance in everyone's heart. As if everyone was already united, they could clearly feel each other's blood, their mutual heart and their mutual desire for success. They also felt each of their expectations for the future!
"I'll treat you all tonight, so let's go find a good place to eat and drink. We won't leave until we are drunk!" Zhang Xiaohua said generously. He felt that he must be the boss right away and at a time like this, you must show your boss like attitude.
At this time, everyone else started to cheer with excitement.
During the celebrations, Yuan Datong kept the newly recorded songs on a USB flash drive and locked the USB drive and master tape together into a fireproof safe. He completely treated this "Broken Hearted Woman" as his baby.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh as he felt that it was funny. At present, just a song had made this "big head" so nervous. There were still thousands of such songs in his memories and all of those songs were classics, just like the one they made a minute ago. He really didn’t know what to think of this brother of his.
The next moment, the group of people had divided into two cars, each person was filled with a pleasant mood as they went straight to the nearest hotel.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, pedestrians were still walking along the front of the five-star hotel. This was the place designated by Zhang Xiaohua.
In Zhang Xiaohua's mind, there were some things that you must do well or just didn't do at all. If you wanted to eat dinner when going out, then you must dine at the best place in town. This was the style of a big boss, plus it also helped capture people's hearts, so why not?
The "Star City Hotel" was one of the best hotels in the city and it was open 24/7. No matter what happened.
Unexpectedly, when the group approached the hotel door, they were stopped by two doormen.
"I'm sorry everyone, the hotel has a rule. People who are dressed untidily, are not allowed to enter, etc.," said one of the doormen with disdain. The other doorman also stared at them with his face covered with a look of contempt.
As they were a group of young people and musicians in the new era, of course they had their own personality and style. Therefore, Emma and the others dressed in a style that was a bit different to everybody else. The broken pants aren't broken just a little bit, they must be broken as far as possible without breaking entirely. They were dressed in all kinds of cheap jewelry, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and ribbons but the total value wasn't even more than 100 yuan. It was also fashionable in its own unique way.
In particular, Yuan Datong, compared with the magnificent and noble place in front of him, wore a white vest and shorts worth less than ten yuan, and a pair of plastic slippers on his feet. The doorman had felt that even the act of looking at him was already giving him face.
The only normal one was Zhang Xiaohua, but the doorman was obviously not putting him in his eyes.

How could anyone with such a high status be mixing with these odd looking fellows.
The people who entered and left this hotel were usually rich and powerful. At least they had to be a multi-millionaire. Millionaires had no time to stop and wait they just strode in boldly without a care in the world, with an aura of command. Unlike these people.
After a long period of working here, the concierge staff had gained some observational skills. They were able to recognize the poor from the rich at a glance. Not to mention that the hotel had also expressed that those dressed sloppily and those who were idle were not permitted entry.
"Haven't you heard that a good dog doesn't block the way? Move out the way!" Zhang Xiaohua's violent temper was immediately activated. He rushed towards the hotel door.
In the past, Zhang Xiaohua was often looked down on and now that he was reborn again after his death. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes again. Or else what was the point of being born again?
After he heard the commotion, the lobby manager rushed out and blocked Zhang Xiaohua’s way with a group of guards. Just like the doorman, he faced Zhang Xiaohua and others head on. These people's eyes were filled with contempt and Zhang Xiaohua and others were completely treated as mere "peasants".
"Another group of blind people, who don't know where they are, hurry up and roll out of here or see if security doesn't throw you out." The lobby manager said without any explanation, he rushed towards Zhang Xiaohua and the others and issued a warning.
"So, this is how you do business?" Zhang Xiaohua was not that surprised to see the attitude of the lobby manager and the current situation. In the other world, there were many similar things that happened. Zhang Xiaohua was skeptical back then after hearing those sort of stories. However, it seemed people really did act like this.
"We are doing business, but we don't care for such a bunch of small business. We're one of the best five-star hotels in Tianjing City and we don’t need your few yuan. Can you even afford to be here?" said the lobby manager unscrupulously. He rolled his eyes, not even bothering to look at them. He seemed to feel that they weren't even eligible to enter his eyes.
At the time of this, Emma, Xiaohai, Haozi, Jack, and Jimmy all bowed their heads with shame. All of them were red-faced and self-contained and they didn't even dare to breathe. It was obviously a serious lack of self-confidence and even Yuan Datong was this same.
"Xiaohua, let’s forget it. We still have other places where we can eat. The city is so big and this isn't the only hotel." Yuan Datong whispered. Although he was also very unconvinced in his heart, but after all, an arm couldn't beat the thigh, if they ended up fighting they would lose to the hotel as they had more people.
Zhang Xiaohua was unhappy with this, and he started to shout: "Today I am tempted to eat here. It's not a big deal for me to blow things up and anyway, we're all just some small fry and they are a big company which is famous. If they dare to lay a hand on us, then we will just let the public and internet know and see who suffers more?"
After he said this, Zhang Xiaohua took out his mobile phone and opened the camera function. The camera was aimed at the manager of the lobby. Yuan Datong immediately followed suit.
This made the manager of the lobby shocked, he really had to stop. The lethality of public opinion was terrible.
In the event that the group was forcibly stopped, they would just put away their phones and send the footage to the Internet, which would cause public opinion to change and raise public anger. This would destroy the hotel’s image.
After all, Zhang Xiaohua’s group were the underdogs, and the hotel was a big company with public appeal. Public opinion would naturally favor the weak and put pressure on the hotel. The lobby manager would probably be forced to resign.
In frustration, the lobby manager could only step aside and let the security guards let them in.
"And... cut, this was a good scene, hahaha trying to play with me. You are too inexperienced."
Zhang Xiaohua was proud and held the mobile phone in one hand as if it was a sword, he was about to lead Yuan Datong to enter the hotel. However, he found that a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the mobile phone screen…
