TLN: Erm managed to complete this chapter while I was doing my part-time job! Do enjoy~
Following Chen Jianhao, Lu Chen arrived at the bar's second floor reserved area.
Forget Gra.s.s bar was built upon an old warehouse with a height of six meters near seven meters. Therefore, after reconstructing into a two-story building, the middle area was left out for a stage. The structure of it was an ingenious idea, fully utilizing the whole s.p.a.ce.
Similar to the numerous bars in Back Sea, Forget Gra.s.s bar has a reserved area with three tables that would be empty regardless of how good the business was, to cater for guests who may not even appear.
Personal relations.h.i.+ps are significant to a bar that does business. Chen Jianhao has a wide range of friends and if a good friend or someone he was unable to offend, had suddenly appeared at a time whereby the bar is full without a place to sit, then no doubt it would be a very embarra.s.sing incident.
Thus, the reserve seat area exists.
To be sitting in the reserved area, the person looking for Lu Chen to purchase his song would probably not be an average joe.
Perhaps he noticed Lu Chen's nervousness, Chen Jianhao whispered to him on their way up. "Don't worry, To sell or not to sell depends on you. With me around, no one would deliberately make things difficult for you."
Lu Chen relaxed with a sigh of relief. "Thank you, boss."
Although Chen Jianhao was usually strict to the employees, he was ultimately a good boss.
Two out of the three tables in the reserved area was empty while a man and a lady were sitting on the table near the iron fence. The male looked about 30 years old donning a suit with gold-framed gla.s.ses resting on his face, and his hair was styled neatly. A glance was enough to know he's an elite.
While the female was much younger, with a pet.i.te build and 8/10 for looks and wearing casual wear. She was currently holding the wine gla.s.s and curiously looking around as if it had been her first time in a bar.
"Manager Song, I have brought the person you're looking for…"
Chen Jianhao brought Lu Chen over and smilingly said, " This is Lu Chen, Xiao Lu!"
The man in the suit stood up when Chen Jianhao walked towards him, and his face revealing a faint smile while nodded reservedly towards Lu Chen.
The lady beside him hurriedly stood up but had forgotten to put down her wine gla.s.s, causing the beverage to spill out.
Chen Jianhao introduced. " Xiao Lu, this is the finance department deputy general manager of Rain Media, Song Xinwei and this is his secretary, Miss Dongxuan.
Rain Media? That arrogant lady Suqing has yet to give up?
Lu Chen thought internally while simultaneously extending his hand towards the suit guy. "Manager Song, nice to meet you."
Song Xinwei held out his hand gave shook hands with him. "Nice to meet you."
Lu Chen then turns towards the lady and went for a handshake. "h.e.l.lo, Miss Dongxuan."
Dongxuan hurriedly held his extended hands and replied, "Yes. h.e.l.lo Lu Chen…" while stuttering.
Lu Chen smiled afterward.
This deputy GM's secretary was too inexperienced and entirely looked like fresh graduate that had just entered the workforce.
Of course, it was not for his business if the lady could a.s.sume the role of a deputy GM secretary. After all the courtesy talk, they sat down at the reserved table.
Song Xinwei immediately got to the point of the visit. "Xiao Lu, the matter is such. The visit today is entrusted by Rain Media's Director Su Qingmei to express our interest to purchase the copyrights for one of your songs."
While speaking, he nodded towards Dongxuan and the latter immediately retrieved a few doc.u.ments from her briefcase.
Song Xinwei continued. "Our company's legal department has verified that the copyrights of the song named <
