Chapter 126 You Kneel and You're Numb (Two in One)
The May Day holiday is over.

In class, Cheng Ran was bored and scribbled on the book with a pencil.

"What are you drawing here?" Chu Ze glanced at it.

"Practice my signature." Cheng Ran chuckled.

"Did you learn this signature from a Taoist priest in Maoshan? Why does it look like a ghost's handwriting?"

"You know nothing. This is called an artistic signature! Do you want me to sign one for you?" Cheng Ran turned the pen and raised his eyebrows at Chu Ze.

For the sake of our acquaintance, I can help you sign a few more dots on the word "Ran".

"Yes, wait a moment." Chu Ze unexpectedly did not refuse.

This made Cheng Ran stunned for a moment.

Then, under Cheng Ran's puzzled gaze, Chu Ze took out a blank piece of draft paper, moved the paper in front of Cheng Ran, and pointed to the lower right corner of the paper: "Come and sign your name... No, sign your name. Sign where I point. Don't write too big."

Chu Ze's words made Cheng Ran pause and hesitate as he was about to sign.

For some reason, Cheng Ran always felt that Chu Ze's behavior was suspicious, but he couldn't guess what he was going to do. He also checked the paper and found nothing wrong.

"Hurry up." Chu Ze urged.

Cheng Ran thought that there was no point in doing anything with a blank piece of paper, so he didn't think much about it. He picked up the pen and signed his name in a very eloquent manner according to Chu Ze's instructions - Cheng Ran plus four dots.

The four extra points are special services for acquaintances.

Chu Ze saw that he had signed, took the paper back, and then took out a pen. Under Cheng Ran's dull gaze, he wrote a few words above the signature:
"From now on, I, Cheng Ran, will focus on Brother Ze in everything. I will bring breakfast to Brother Ze every day and follow his opinions on all matters of life. I must not contradict, insult, doubt, or go beyond my authority. I also admit that I lost the game yesterday because I was a bad kid and held Brother Ze back. I was too shortsighted. I'm sorry, Brother Ze!"

After writing, Chu Ze wrote the word "guarantor" plus a colon on the left side of Cheng Ran's signature, and added today's date.

Cheng Ran: “?!”

Shit, are you fucking gods and demons?

I'm kind enough to sign your name for you, and you're writing me a contract to sell yourself?
vicious!

You are so vicious!
You actually asked me to admit that I am not as good as you at playing games!

I tell you, everything else can be negotiated, except this one!
"Haha, an artistic signature has no legal effect. It's useless even if you trick me into signing it." Cheng Ran pretended to be calm.

"It's okay. I'm not going to court. At most, I'll just announce it to our friends in each class." Chu Ze waved his hand, took a photo with his mobile phone, and then carefully put the receipt into his bag.

Cheng Ran was furious when he heard this and said, "Fuck, you deserve to die! How can you be so vicious?"

If you do this, won't everyone think that I'm not as good as you, a loser who was tricked into using a big move and flash by someone last night?
Okay, you are doing great!
BYD, is this how you play it?

Then don't force your brother Ran to be cruel and ruthless.

Believe it or not, I will hang myself at the door of your house tomorrow and turn your house into a haunted house!

……

Fortunately, after Cheng Ran argued very firmly in class, he finally got the evil indenture back from Chu Ze.

He patted the dust off his knees, indicating that the little Chu Ze was being controlled with his knees?

After class, Cheng Ran limped out of the classroom, holding Lao Lu and Yu Yang with both hands.

"No, why are you lame?" Lu Zihao asked curiously.

"My feet are numb." Cheng Ran said.

"Why are you numb?" Yu Yang asked.

"Nonsense, you'll be numb even if you kneel." Cheng Ran said unhappily.

When the three of them walked to the dormitory door, they saw a woman in formal clothes walking towards them. She obviously didn't look like a student and her temperament didn't look like one.

"Hello, are you Cheng Ran?" She walked up to Cheng Ran with a smile on her face.

"Uh...it's me."

Cheng Ran was obviously stunned for a moment, looking at the woman in front of him. She might not be pretty, but at least she had regular features and was probably in her early thirties.

He didn't know this woman and had no idea how she knew him.

Could it be that the previous performance failed to attract the female student, so the young woman was attracted instead?

"Um, is there anything wrong?" Cheng Ran asked.

"Hello, would you be so kind as to have dinner with me?" the woman said.

So direct?

Cheng Ran was stunned and turned to look at Lu Zihao and Yu Yang on both sides. The two of them looked at each other, then patted Cheng Ran's shoulders tacitly and gave him a meaningful smile.

"take the chance."

"take care."

After saying that, the two of them left Cheng Ran behind and ran away.

Having lost his support and with his feet a little numb, Cheng Ran almost stumbled.

No, what are you laughing at? Do you know what's going on?

And you just left like that?
Aren’t you worried about what would happen if your buddy was kidnapped by a female gangster?

"This is the first time we meet, and we're not familiar with each other, so it's not a good idea to have dinner together, right?" Cheng Ran was a little panicked.

If a schoolgirl said this, he would definitely agree happily, but this woman was obviously not the type he could control.

You can’t mess with people in society. You can’t mess with them.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tang Yu, and I'm an agent. I came here mainly to discuss cooperation with you, Cheng Ran." Tang Yu took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Ran.

"broker?!"

When Cheng Ran heard the identity, his eyes widened and he took the business card and took a look at it.

Why did the entertainment company's agent look for him?

Poaching?

Are you impressed by his talent and want him to make his debut?
Am I really going to become famous?

"Okay, okay, where shall we eat?" Cheng Ran agreed without hesitation when he thought of this.

I followed Tang Yu out of the school, got in the car, and drove for more than ten minutes.

On the way, Cheng Ran's pig brain suddenly became clear. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Was he too careless?

What if this is not the agent, but a person from Gayao in northern Myanmar?
He touched his waist...

Hastily!
But what should I do now that I’m in the stolen car?
Just in case, Cheng Ran quickly sent a message in the group:
“Brothers, if I don’t send you messages after a while, it means that something has happened to me and you have to come and rescue me quickly.”

Chu Ze, who was not clear about the situation, asked: "Where have you been?"

Cheng Ran: "Eat."

Chu Ze: "You need help to eat? Are you eating at a decent restaurant?"

Lu Zihao: "You don't understand, after dinner Cheng Ran still wants to be eaten by the rich woman."

Chu Ze: "And a rich woman?"

Cheng Ran: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just an agent from an entertainment company, and I want to discuss something with him."

Chu Ze: "Why did your agent contact you? Is Batman going to be remade in China?"

Cheng Ran: "Get lost! Stop making sarcastic remarks. I don't know if this agent is real or fake. Anyway, please keep an eye on me. I'm afraid that I'll be in northern Myanmar next time I contact you."

Fortunately, the car did not go directly to northern Myanmar, but stopped in front of a hotel.

This restaurant looked quite high-end. Tang Yu took Cheng Ran to a private room. When the dishes were served, Tang Yu went straight to the point and asked, "The song "Sunny Day" on the Internet was sung by you, Cheng Ran, right?"

"...Yes." Cheng Ran nodded.

"Has the copyright of this song been sold to anyone else?" Tang Yu asked.

“I don’t think so…” Cheng Ran took a bite of the food and was still unsure.

Tang Yu was very happy when he heard that no one else had gotten there first. "That's great. Our company really hopes to buy your song "Sunny Day". This song is so well written that it reminds me of my school days. We will give you a satisfactory price."

"Buy songs?" Cheng Ran was confused.

Are you here to buy songs?
Then why are you looking for me? He didn't write this song.

Aren't you coming to me because you like me?
"Yes, besides this song "Sunny Day", I wonder if Cheng Ran has any other original songs. Our company intends to cooperate with Cheng Ran for a long time..." Tang Yu said. "Other original songs? I do have some..." Cheng Ran hesitated.

"Really? That's great. I wonder if there's any music score I can take a look at." Tang Yu stood up excitedly.

"There's no music score. I can only sing two lines for you at most."

"You can even sing a few lines."

"Are you sure? I might not sing very well."

"How could that be? Even if the singing is not so good, it can't cover up the brilliance of a good song." Tang Yu looked at Cheng Ran expectantly.

Cheng Ran thought it made sense, so he sang his original song to Tang Yu twice without any hesitation.

After singing, he waited expectantly for the comments from professionals: "What do you think?"

Tang Yu looked strange, and said with a dry cough: "Well, let's talk about the price of "Sunny Day" first."

"..."

Damn, man, is this song really that bad?

You don't even want to comment.

Is this the high emotional intelligence of a social person? Unlike Chu Ze and the other kids who speak their mind.

"But I can't sell you the song "Sunny Day"..." Cheng Ran said.

"Why? The price is negotiable. How about 100,000 for a song? You can also propose other conditions. We will try our best to agree to them." Tang Yu said anxiously.

"It's no use for me to mention it because I didn't write this song," Cheng Ran explained.

"It wasn't written by you?" Tang Yu was stunned.

It wasn't you who wrote it. Why are you talking to me for so long and eating so happily here?

It almost made me deaf just now.

play me?

"It was written by my classmate. He wrote it for me to sing at the party. So if you want to buy this song, you've found the wrong person. You should find my classmate." Cheng Ran said.

"Who is your classmate?"

"His name is Chu Ze."

"Chu Ze?" Tang Yu frowned upon hearing this. He felt as if he had seen this name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where. "Can you introduce me to someone?"

"I can't make the decision. I have to ask him."

Cheng Ran said this, picked up his phone, walked out of the box and called Chu Ze.

"Hello, why are you calling me? Are you being scammed and have no money so you come to me to borrow?" Chu Ze asked as he picked up the phone.

"I told you it was an agent."

"so what?"

"She came to me and said she wanted to buy the song "Sunny Day", but this song was written by you. Then she said she wanted to meet you. What do you think?" Cheng Ran asked.

"Did you tell her that I wrote it?" Chu Ze frowned.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, we'll be gone when we meet. Tell her I'm not selling this song for now."

"Ah? Not selling it? But she said she wants to buy it for 100,000."

"Only one hundred thousand?"

"One hundred thousand is too little for you?"

"Is one hundred thousand a lot?" Chu Ze sneered. Isn't this just his daily royalties?

"Damn it, you rich bastard. Even though you're so rich, you never gave any gold coins to your brothers." Cheng Ran cursed.

"Definitely next time."

"So that's how I responded to her?"

"Ah."

Cheng Ran hung up the phone and returned to the box.

"What did your classmates say?" Tang Yu asked hurriedly when he saw him come back.

"He said he would definitely do it next time." Cheng Ran said.

"?"

"He said that we won't meet because he doesn't want to sell this song for the time being." Cheng Ran repeated Chu Ze's words.

"It's okay if we don't meet. Can you give me your classmate's contact information? I want to talk to him in person." Tang Yu obviously didn't want to give up just like that.

"Well, let me ask you again."

Cheng Ran felt like he was just a messenger now.

After obtaining Chu Ze's consent, Cheng Ran shared Chu Ze's phone number with Tang Yu.

After watching Tang Yu write down the phone number, Cheng Ran hesitated and said, "About our cooperation..."

"I'm sorry, Cheng Ran. I have something else to do. The dishes here have been paid for. You can continue to eat or take them away. I'll leave first."

After saying this, Tang Yu couldn't wait to leave the box, leaving Cheng Ran sitting there in confusion.

Fuck, so heartless?

Are you abandoning me just like that?
Didn’t you say you wanted to talk to me about cooperation?

Hey, don't go!
Although I can’t write songs, I can sing. Would you like to consider collaborating on our debut?

If all else fails, I can just play a clown. I’m not picky.

……

On Chu Ze's side, the two of them quickly got through on the phone.

"Ms. Tang Yu, I've already said that I don't want to sell the song 'Sunny Day' for the time being."

"Are you not satisfied with the price? Just tell us what conditions you have and we will try our best to meet them. Price is not a problem." Because Xu Ya was determined to get the song, Tang Yu tried his best to offer the best conditions in the hope of impressing her.

"It's not a question of price." Chu Ze shook his head.

"What's the reason?" Tang Yu asked in confusion, "Since you wrote such an excellent song, you must hope that more people can hear it. If you can give the song to us, you can not only make money, but also spread the song. It's a win-win situation. Or are you worried that we will bury your song?"

"There is a reason for this. After all, I still don't know your specific details."

"If it's about this, you don't have to worry at all, because I'm from Guanghui Entertainment. Even if you don't know Guanghui Entertainment, you should have heard of Xu Ya's name, right?" Tang Yu explained.

"Xu Ya?"

Upon hearing the name, Chu Ze was visibly startled, and his voice sounded somewhat surprised.

Tang Yu heard Chu Ze's surprised tone and immediately felt that there was something going on. He immediately continued, "Yes, Xu Ya is the singer of our Guanghui Entertainment, and I am her agent. This time I want to contact you to purchase the copyright of "Sunny Day" for Xu Ya's new song. With Xu Ya's strength and fame, I think she will definitely not bury your work."

"Is it that Xu Ya?" Chu Ze confirmed.

"Yes."

"The Xu Ya who competed with An Ruo for the ranking before?"

"Uh...yeah."

Although he didn't know why Chu Ze asked this, Tang Yu still nodded.

"What do you think, Chu?"

"Haha, that's good." Chu Ze laughed inexplicably.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The phone was hung up unexpectedly, leaving Tang Yu confused, so he quickly called again.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later!"
