Chapter 321 Celebration Banquet

"Cheers!"

When the others saw Zhang Lan raise her glass, they also raised theirs.

The two new songs released by the music studio were both very popular, which was a very good start for a studio that had just begun.

When they were halfway through their meal, the basement door was suddenly knocked on.

"I'll get it."

Zhang Lan heard the knock and quickly ran to the door.

"Xiao Rou, why did it take you so long to get here?"

Looking at Shen Rou standing at the door, Zhang Lan immediately linked her arm with hers.

"Sorry, I was busy with some work today, so I came late."

Shen Rou brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said apologetically.

Just this morning, Zhang Lan had invited her to come celebrate after work tonight.

However, in the afternoon, Manager Chen assigned her the task of collecting Club member information, and to complete it as quickly as possible, she worked a little overtime.

Of course, this overtime was not at the company, because Manager Chen had clearly stipulated that, except for some positions that required night shifts, all other employees were not allowed to work overtime.

So, after work, she had no choice but to find a Nanhe Cafe, finish her work there, and then rush over.

"Come in quickly."

Hearing Shen Rou's explanation, Zhang Lan didn't say anything, pulling Shen Rou inside with a joyful expression, saying.

"Xiao Rou, our two songs uploaded to the music platform are very popular now; one of them has already entered the top one hundred of the new song chart, currently at 96th place, and its popularity is still increasing, so its ranking might very well go up."

"How about it? As a shareholder of our music studio, you'll be making money lying down from now on."

Shen Rou looked at Zhang Lan's excited expression, and her heart also filled with joy.

She wasn't happy because she could make money lying down.

More than that, she was happy because her good friend was finally going to realize her music dream.

During her school days, she knew Zhang Lan's dedication to music, and now she had finally embarked on the path of music, and it was going very smoothly; how could she not be happy?

Arriving at the dining table in the center of the basement, the other members of the music studio also greeted her.

They still had to show respect to Zhang Lan's friend, who was also the investor of the music studio.

"Come, come, let's toast our investor."

Zhang Lan raised her glass and shouted happily.

The other members of the studio also raised their glasses.

Shen Rou smiled and drank a glass, but because she had an online class later that night, she only used a drink as a substitute for alcohol.

Zhang Lan did not urge her to drink; she knew Shen Rou's personality and that Shen Rou had an online class at night.

"Xiao Rou, besides the two popular songs that have been released, we also have ideas for our new songs, and I believe they will be created very soon."

"Congratulations, that's good news!"

Shen Rou congratulated her.

A hotpot meal, a celebration.

It quickly came to an end. Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Rou left the basement and returned to her school dormitory. After taking a shower, she began preparing for today's online class.

Since Zhang Lan no longer lived in the school dormitory due to the music studio, she was now the only one left in the dormitory.

However, by July, when her internship period ended, she would also have to move out of the dormitory.

After all, the school dormitories would not be provided to them permanently.

It was time for her to find a place to live.

Shen Rou thought to herself, if she waited until she moved out of the dormitory to look, time would be a bit tight.

She glanced at her phone; it was almost time for her online class, so she sat down in front of the computer, turned it on, and began to wait.

She was currently studying German. She didn't know if she would use it in the future, but learning an extra language was always a good thing.

………….

The next day,

NNG Gaming Club.

Yao Beiguo sat nervously in the reception room. He was here to apply for a manager position, but he had been waiting for over half an hour without any news.

After such a long time without a response, he had already given up hope.

Alas!!!!

Yao Beiguo sighed helplessly. This was the sixth gaming Club he had visited; the previous five had all rejected him.

The reason for the rejection was that his business capabilities were too poor.

As for why they said his business capabilities were poor, it was entirely because he had joined four gaming Clubs, and then all four gaming Clubs had closed down or been transferred due to poor performance and not making money.

But did the Club's poor performance really have anything to do with him?

When he went to those Clubs, their performance was already poor.

He had originally thought he could turn the tide and bring the Club back to life.

But the owners of those Clubs, seeing that the gaming Clubs were not making money, had already prepared to withdraw their investment.

Without financial support, the Club members' skills were low, and there was no way to use funds to recruit more powerful professional players. Over time, the Club's strength would only get worse and worse.

These four Clubs basically went bankrupt or were transferred for this reason; it was an inevitable outcome.

He had tried to turn the tide four times, but all ended in failure.

But were all these his fault? As a Club manager, he did need to bear some responsibility.

But it was definitely not all of it.

When summarizing the reasons,

The boss, as the one with the greatest power, no one would attribute the responsibility to him.

And the professional players below, as well as the coaches, all remained silent, becoming transparent.

Finally, all the reasons for failure were attributed to him, the manager.

It was precisely for this reason that the five Clubs he interviewed all rejected him.

They said his business capabilities were not up to par, but in the final analysis, it was because he had successively seen off four gaming Clubs, which was considered unlucky.

Alas!

And this time, looking at the tightly closed door of the reception room,

Yao Beiguo already knew the outcome.

But what he didn't understand was, if they wanted to reject him, they could have just done so directly; why leave him hanging here for over an hour?

He felt like leaving,

But there was still some expectation hidden in his heart.

Time passed bit by bit,

Just as Yao Beiguo was starting to feel restless, the door to the reception room was directly opened.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked in with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, there was an urgent meeting just now, and I forgot about you."

"No worries, work is important."

Yao Beiguo forced a smile, stood up, and looked at the middle-aged man who had just entered.

"Then… what's the result of my interview?"

"I was just about to tell you about that. After discussions among our managers, we are very sorry, but you do not meet the requirements of our Club."

The middle-aged man said apologetically, but on his smiling face, there was no sign of apology whatsoever.
