Chapter 127 The New Year Begins

New Year's Day.

Su Yehao went out in the morning to visit Nong Qingying and the baby at Barker Road, and returned to Big Wave Bay after ten o'clock.

He originally thought that even if Nangong Tian didn't go out to a video store to keep an eye on the sales, she should still be very happy about his album being released.

But he didn't expect...

As soon as he got home, he saw the little girl sitting cross-legged on the beanbag sofa, crying her eyes out, with a pile of tissues beside her, probably having cried for quite a while.

Instantly.

Su Yehao, filled with a strong desire to survive, began to examine himself.

Reflecting on whether he had done anything to upset her recently, or whether he had made her unhappy in any way.

After thinking it over, she was clearly very happy when he left in the morning, so the problem shouldn't be with him.

Su Yehao felt a little relieved and tentatively asked:

"Who made you angry again? Why are you crying so sadly? Is it because Jiang Yu went out with her parents and didn't take you along, or because your mom also went on vacation and left you behind?"

Glancing at him, Nangong Tian replied:

"Jiang Yu is traveling with her parents, how could I go along? Besides, we just came back from relaxing in Japan, okay? As for my mom... it's better if she doesn't take me, she has so many requirements along the way, complaining that this restaurant isn't good, that the room isn't clean enough, that the scenery isn't interesting. It's annoying to travel with her."

After speaking, she handed the file to Su Yehao and explained:

"What did I do to deserve this? I actually saw such a heart-wrenching script early in the morning. I have to put a hundred million Hong Kong dollars into it and film it seriously. It might be the next hit like *Boys Over Flowers*, but the plot is too compact, and they only wrote twelve episodes."

Seeing that the little girl was still in the mood to talk about business, Su Yehao was completely relieved.

He looked down at the script in his hand, which was indeed titled *Operation Proposal*. The synopsis read, "The drama tells the story of the protagonist who has always had a crush on his childhood sweetheart but never confessed. When attending her wedding, he uses the power of an angel to return to the past and complete his confession."

It was basically the outline Su Yehao had originally thought of, a campus romance drama with a different spin.

Opening the script for the first episode, it began:

"People you haven't contacted for a long time, don't contact them again. What's lost won't come back, and even if it does, it won't be perfect anymore... But the person getting married today is Aya, my childhood sweetheart. She's getting married today, but the groom isn't me..."

Seeing this, Su Yehao immediately realized something and said, amused, "The opening directly states the theme. Looks like you found a good screenwriter. Where did you get to?"

"I couldn't stop crying after reading the third episode, and my eyes were so swollen that I couldn't continue. I'll wait until I feel better."

Sitting cross-legged and making a cultivation gesture, Nangong Tian exhaled a long breath while pressing her hands down, saying, "The screenwriter of this drama is an inexperienced romance novelist. I didn't have high expectations for her, but now I can only say that I misjudged her."

Casually putting the script aside, Su Yehao said to her, "Wait until the drama is filmed before watching it. If you spoil it all in advance, there won't be any surprises. Just like with *Boys Over Flowers*, you made me watch too many previews, so I never got excited when it was officially broadcast. *Wind and Cloud: Storm Riders* officially premieres tonight. Is everything ready at the company?"

"Yes, we have experience now, so there's nothing to worry about. Speaking of which, Asia Television is holding a New Year's concert tonight. Do you want to go on stage and sing, Brother Hao?"

"I'll pass. I'm not a professional singer who practices every day. It's fine for self-entertainment, why bother going on stage to embarrass myself?"

To divert her attention, Su Yehao suggested, "My album went on sale this morning. It took a few days to produce these songs, so let's go to the study and check out the reviews online."

"Is there even a need to look? The employees in the company have listened to it and gave anonymous reviews. Ninety-seven percent of the feedback said it was good. As for the rest, they clearly have no taste. If I find out who they are, I'll have them pack their bags and go home to starve."

The little girl said seriously.

There was no doubt that if she really found out who said something bad about Su Yehao, sending them to guard the prop warehouse would be considered lenient.

Su Yehao laughed:

"People in our own company don't count. We're at the end of the record era. As the internet expands year after year, people will listen to songs on their phones or other mobile devices. In the future, it will only become more and more difficult to make money by releasing albums."

The so-called record era can be divided into the vinyl era, the cassette era, and the CD era.

Now is the era when CDs are popular all over the world. MP3 players have already been invented, but due to technical and pricing factors, they are still a niche product.

Mide Group also has an MP3 production line, which is losing money like crazy.

Fortunately, Su Yehao had instructed from the beginning that it was to accumulate production technology and experience in advance, and not to make money.

Otherwise, Su Yehao's reputation as a "victorious general in the business world" would likely be ruined by this thing. The Mide MP3 sells for as much as three thousand RMB, uses a Fujitsu 6.4G 2.5-inch hard drive, and is even larger than a Walkman. New batteries run out quickly.

As a result, there was a saying that "you can grit your teeth and buy an MP3, but you'll go bankrupt buying batteries," which was roughly equivalent to the small whirlpool in the fuel tank of a Luxgen car, directly shattering the Mide MP3 brand.

Currently, people who are thinking about buying an MP3 can often access the internet to download songs. A quick search will find reviews in forums, which can't be hidden.

However, if you choose to use it at home while plugged in, this MP3 that Su Yehao proposed to produce earlier is actually quite useful, and can store songs equivalent to more than a hundred albums.

But then again, if you're listening to songs at home, why not just use a computer... if you've already bought a three-thousand-yuan MP3, who would be short of money to buy a computer...?

Bringing the little girl to the study, Su Yehao enthusiastically opened Google Chrome and searched for the keyword "You Dian Tian" (a Little Sweet). Soon, a lot of information popped up.

The major media outlets were very kind and started helping with publicity a few days ago, with words full of expectations, saying that he was indeed a young and wealthy man with unconventional ideas.

Some people also mentioned his previous songs, including "Fuji-san No Shita," "Ming Nian Jin Ri," and "Shao Nian Zhong Guo Shuo," which were also included in this album.

Judging from the posts published by international Weibo users, most of them were praises.

There were also people who, for some unknown reason, sarcastically said things like "I don't believe Su Yehao wrote it, he must have bought the songs with money" or "He really knows how to make money, he wants to make money from everything," etc.

Su Yehao didn't care about this at all.

There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. If he cared about everything, he would have jumped into Victoria Harbour long ago.

The little girl was furious, clamoring to log in to her account and scold them back. It wasn't enough for her to help, she also wanted to call the people from Tianyu Entertainment to help.

Of course, Su Yehao stopped her, comforting her that exposing her identity would only make things worse.

What left him speechless was that his album had only been released this morning, and now there were already high-definition audio sources online for online listening, and one-click downloads to save to the local drive.

The most infuriating thing was that this Google was his own company...
