Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 73

Ch73 - Ji Xu CP
Very quickly, Ji Xiunian gave Fan Zeng the news of ‘Instructor Tao’ agreeing to help compose the songs.

Fan Zeng was beside himself with joy and immediately asked for his account. “Xiunian, give me a way to contact Instructor Tao, I’ll discuss payment with him.

Uh…

Ji Xiunian did want Fan Zeng to meet Tao Yingbo, but both of them weren’t from the same realm. If Fan Zeng really met him, he’d be stupefied.

Ji Xiunian was the type of person who didn’t like lying, which made it difficult. He could only clear his throat and say, “I’m afraid this might be difficult…”

Ji Xiunian didn’t explain it clearly, but Fan Zeng had already been brainwashed by the image of a talented composer. “Does he even avoid all social media? Ai ai ai, fine, fine. Then should I have the finance department transfer him the money at the time or what? How about this, have Instructor Tao send me his account number first, I guarantee I’ll send him higher than the market price for his labor.”

“This…” Ji Xiunian was put in a somewhat difficult situation. It seemed to him that between account cash and paper money, Tao Yingbo needed paper money more. Transferring between accounts was also unrealistic, but he couldn’t make Fan Zeng burn it for him.

Ji Xiunian thought about it, and didn’t know what to do at the moment, so could only tell Fan Zeng, “Wait for me to ask him, and I’ll respond then, is that okay?”

“That’s fine, how could this not be fine?” Having invited his ideal composer, Fan Zeng was naturally extremely happy. When he remembered that there was a recording session the next day, he immediately urged Ji Xiunian to go rest. “Go to sleep earlier, make sure you have enough energy in order to work better ah.”

Ji Xiunian glanced at the time. Lu Xu had only left to go back to his dorm at 11 PM. He had only made two phone calls before he realised it was already past midnight.

Knowing that Fan Zeng only wanted him to rest, Ji Xiunian couldn’t help but respond, “Fan ge, what about you?”

Fan Zeng yawned, pinching the space between his brows and sighed. “I have to hurry and cut the content for the fourth episode. I feel like the pace for the elimination episode is too flat, so I need to discuss how to make the pace of the show more urgent in later episodes.”

“It’s already deep into the night, are you going to do this until tomorrow then?” Ji Xiunian couldn’t help rebutting, “Fan ge, I’m being serious, sleep is very important. You have to get some rest even if you’re too busy.”

“Enough, enough, I know!”  Fan Zeng casually dismissed it, not actually taking it to heart. For someone like him in the media industry, staying up all night to work overtime was the norm starting from internships.

It was common for artists to work at night, and even more so for these directors.

Fan Zeng was used to this, and he didn’t think much of it. Although he wasn’t as energetic as before at forty-something, he was still in his prime. Fan Zeng yawned again, then poured himself an iced Americano. The bitter coffee filled his mouth, refreshing his spirits. Fan Zeng woke himself up, and went to continue on consulting with the staff.

When the ratings came out the next day, all the members were beside themselves with excitement.
