Chapter 147 Three Gifts

"easy."

A quarter of an hour after Celine Joshua brought the conversation, Zhao Youzhen appeared at the door of the CEO's office.She pushed open the glass door, poked a head in, and tapped on the metal frame.

The Korean girl is wearing a navy blue business suit for women, which outlines her silhouette with soft and perfect precision as the bright morning light falls on her body.The straight trousers are tied at the waist and lightly narrowed to the ankle, which is charming and delicate.

"Knock knock."

"what's the situation?"

Han Yi stared at Youzhen with wide eyes in confusion.

"Is this about to start a joke?"

"Not cooperating at all." Youzhen's lips curled up slightly, a little aggrieved.

"Ah...then you do it again."

"it is good."

Zhao Youzhen rolled his eyes with a smile, returned to the original place, and opened it again.

"Knock knock." Youzhen poked his head in again.

"Who's there?" Han Yi watched Zhao Youzhen perform with great interest.

"Yoojin." Yoo Jin replied softly and sweetly.

"Yoojin who?"

"Yoojin employee of the year!"

Standing in front of Han Yi, Zhao Youzhen opened his arms, his dimples were deep in his smile, and his eyes narrowed into two beautiful arcs.

Like a little Maitreya Buddha.

"There's more flesh on my face."

Han Yi looked at the Korean girl's puffy cheeks, smiled and blinked.

"Where is it?"

Yuzhen was taken aback, touched her face reflexively, took out her phone and turned on the camera to look at it, then sat down opposite Han Yi muttering.

"Don't try to scare me, I won't gain weight no matter what I eat now."

Three parts coquettish and seven parts proud, today's Zhao Youzhen can't stop the joy.

"What's happened, you're in such a good mood?" Han Yi asked curiously, tilting his head.I usually don't see Youzhen's pretty face like this, and of course I don't hear her bragging about being the best employee of the year.

"Um……"

Zhao Youzhen put his hands on his knees, raised his chin, and hummed twice, looking very satisfied with himself.

"I was very productive today and progressed super fast, so I'm happy."

"Did you say it was Han's scene?"

"Yeah, just had a meeting with them. Matthew and Leslie."

The two people Zhao Youzhen mentioned were Matthew Zwick, recruited from AEG Live, who was in charge of performances in Asia and Australia, and Leslie Olenik, who jumped over from Live Nation, to be in charge of European performances.

Together with Celine Joshua, who just reported to Han Yi, they formed the entire business sector of Han Live's global tour department.

America, Europe, and Asia are the three markets that the nascent Hansite is currently focusing on. As for the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent, there is little water and oil, and there is no need to conduct business there for the time being.

"If you guessed right, you should have some good news about Block Party to share with me."

When Han Yi communicated with Celine Joshua about the large-scale performances in the United States, Zhao Yuzhen confirmed to Matthew and Leslie, who managed the Hehan scene, that it was the overseas performances of HMG's artists and labels. .

At this moment, Mad Decent's Block Party is the only one that has a certain appeal in overseas regions and can make money by issuing tickets.

Electronic music scene is highly reproducible, the same set, even if a DJ plays it [-] times, it won’t lose its shape.In addition, the guests of Block Party are used to traveling all over the world and performing two to three hundred performances every year. It is the most sensible business decision to start with them and let Han Live enter other countries and regions outside the United States.

"We arranged four world tours for Block Party in October, firstly to test the waters, and secondly to promote Mad City." From the index finger to the little finger, Zhao Youzhen raised it in order, "London, Paris, Barcelona and Tokyo. "

"Don't keep the number of people too small." Han Yi reminded, "It's not easy to go there, try to make it more than 3000 people, so that we can expand the number of events next year."

"Both Matthew and Leslie have considered this point. In London, we decided to print the Printworks opposite Canary Wharf. The theoretical capacity is 6000 people, but generally speaking, about 5000 people is the limit. In Paris, we invited DJ Snake, Malaa, Tchami, and Mercer's Pardon My French team performed together, and the ticket sales should be more optimistic, so we chose the Zénith Paris stadium in the 19th arrondissement."

"However, we are not very familiar with Barcelona, ​​and there are no suitable Spanish DJs to perform together, so we chose the Greek Theater next to Montjuic Castle, which can accommodate 1900 people. The Tokyo side is smaller, because Shibuya WOMB nightclub I am interested in co-branding with us, so I am discussing the specific model with them, whether it is a direct buyout or a share."

"How big is WOMB?"

"About 1000 people." Zhao Youzhen thought for a while and replied, "We discussed it just now. If the box office is good, we can split the lineup up and do it in two days. That's 2000 people."

"If you're in Asia for the first time, the scale is quite good." Han Yi nodded in agreement, and after deliberating for a moment, expressed his opinion, "The electronic music scene in Japan is not as prosperous as in Europe, but it's not bad. …Hey, why not do one in Seoul? Or Melbourne, Sydney or Bangkok. It would be a pity to do one city when you’re in Asia. Travel as much as you can and spread the travel costs.”

"That's what I think." Zhao Youzhen responded with a slight smile, "However, first let's see how Tokyo wants to cooperate. If they buy out directly, then add Seoul station as well. If it is split, then Waiting for the pre-sale situation after ticketing."

"Okay, when?"

"Are you talking about billing tickets, or performances?"

"Performance." Han Yi added, "Tentative time."

“巴塞罗那10月20号、伦敦10月21号、巴黎10月22号，周四、周五、周六，正好把两个5000人以上规模的演出放在黄金档期。东京那边是11月4号左右。”

"October 10... so that happens to be during the ADE?"

"Well! ADE is from October 10th to October 19rd. We will land in Amsterdam on the 10th, and return to Los Angeles from Amsterdam on the 23rd. We can just participate in the first and last two days of ADE. If there is anything that needs to be discussed, it will be in these two days. God will be fine."

"Amsterdam, Barcelona, ​​London, Paris, it's a mini European tour." Han Yi grinned and lowered his voice narrowly, "If you guessed right, you should have checked the food guide for a long time, and listed all the restaurants you are going to eat. Have you found it?"

"No."

Zhao Youzhen waved his hand with a look of course.

"You come and look for it, I'll be in charge of eating."

"Okay, let me see which McDonald's in Paris is the best." Seeing Youzhen's frank and strong look, Han Yi couldn't help laughing, "Pigeon, mademoiselle?"

This is almost all of Han Yi's French vocabulary.

The first word is still shared by English and French.

"Pourquoi voulez-vous manger des pigeons? Je pensais que vous préféreriez les cuisses de grenouille." Zhao Youzhen tilted his head, and his Parisian accent, which was extremely fast and swallowed words, overflowed.

"...encrypted communication is prohibited."

Han Yi angrily took out a glass of iced Americano from the Starbucks paper bag beside him, and placed it in front of Youzhen.

"Give it to me?" Zhao Youzhen pointed to his nose, icing sugar in his voice, knowingly asked.

"Well, it's used to gag you." Han Yi frowned, pointing to the transparent cup body, "Didn't you see that there is your name on it."

Zhao Youzhen pressed the lid of the cup with his fingertips, and casually turned the polyvinyl chloride cup around.

Where is Yujin's name?

On the first thickened black line, there is just a line of ugly English characters written crookedly, which is not the handwriting of a barista at first glance.

I bought you a present.

"Gift?"

Zhao Youzhen looked up, and was shocked to find that Han Yi had placed a huge Chanel shopping bag on the desk while she was not paying attention.

"this is……"

"When I went to New York for business two days ago, I passed Fifth Avenue and saw one that was more suitable for you, so I bought it."

Han Yi poked his head out from the right side of the shopping bag and looked at the Korean girl expectantly.

"have a look?"

"Passing by?" Zhao Youzhen pursed his lips and looked at the other party calmly, "Just bought it for me?"

"I also bought it for Xiao Xu." Han Yi replied honestly, "It's just not this one."

"Oh."

Hearing this sentence, Yuzhen's facial expression relaxed and softened.

Everyone knows the truth, and the most important thing is not to lie to people.

Opening the dustproof cloth, Zhao Youzhen took out an oversized leather bag from it.

"As big as three of my heads."

Zhao Youzhen squeezed one side with one hand, unfolded the bag, blocked it in front of his face, and showed it to Han Yi.

"Bought this... because it looks like the most material is used?"

"I mainly consider that there will be more performances in the future. It will be more convenient to memorize this, and everything can be put in it."

Han Yi replied seriously.

"Did you really choose carefully?"

This time, not only did Youzhen have icing in her throat, but also honey dripped into her eyes.

There are three blue birds from Disney's "My Heart" singing in my heart, not because of the material value of the gift.After all, although Zhao Youzhen has no savings now, and her family has cut off her financial supply, she can only rely on the [-] US dollars lent by Han Yi to pay her tuition fees, and use the monthly salary paid by the management to ensure her living, but the skinny Yoo Jin is also bigger than Xiao Ru Da.The closet is full of designer bags, and some of them haven't even had time to pick off the hang tags.

What really swayed her heart was Han Yi's thoughtful care that he never forgot to bring her gifts when he was on a business trip, and tailored according to her needs—or at least what Han Yi believed to be her needs.

Thinking about it seriously, this should be the first gift Han Yi gave her personally.

And a few thousand dollars is not very expensive, at least compared with the Fifth Avenue Crossover that is lying at home and dare not even touch it, it will cause much less psychological pressure on Yuzhen.

"I'll change things into this bag later."

Zhao Youzhen hugged the big shopping bag in his arms, biting his lower lip, still unable to open his eyes with joy.She glanced back at Mia Sullivan, who was sitting at the end of the corridor with Victoria White Mason, who was reviewing the documents. She took two deep breaths, and then suppressed the urge to go around the desk and throw herself into Han Yi's arms .

The hands holding the shopping bag tightened a little more, and it was right to regard it as a substitute that was better than nothing.

"If you don't like it, you can change it." Han Yi scratched his head, and it could be seen that he was not particularly assured of his selection level, "You can return it within 30 days, and we can pick the one you like."

"This is very good." Zhao Youzhen almost melted the bag into his body, "I like it very much. I like it very much."

"That's good."

Feeling the vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket, Han Yi knew that Xiao Yang had brought him wool again.

I really want to see how many times I can reward now, but for the sake of safety, let's talk about it later.

"By the way, what you bought for Xiao Ru is..."

"Then what, I'm going to Europe the day after tomorrow, on the 8th." How could this kind of question, which is more dangerous than the South Side of Chicago, be answered head-on? Han Yi buried his head in a Starbucks paper bag, pretending to be looking for his cup of coffee, He abruptly turned the topic around.

"I'm going to let people manage it and make a partnership with Mad Decent, which is responsible for the management of electronic music artists."

"So suddenly?"

Side by side with Han Yi, slowly walking down the suspended stairs of the ANN teaching building, Xu Yiru frowned lightly and said in a low voice.

"I knew it earlier..."

"Just what?"

"It's okay." Xu Yiru waved his hand, intending to skip this topic.

"Hey, every time you say half of what you say, it makes me scratch my head." Han Yi stood still, the corners of his mouth pulled down, five points for helplessness in acting, and five points for pretending to be pitiful, "Quickly say , or I won’t leave.”

"You are very strange, why should I care...well, let's go, let me tell you." Xu Yiru dragged Han Yi's arm with both hands, letting him avoid the students who were also rushing down the stairs behind him.

"Chanel called me some time ago and invited... us to attend Haute Couture Fashion Week."

When Xiaoru first received the call from the flagship store in Beverly Hills, she felt a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was nothing surprising.Buying hundreds of thousands of dollars of haute couture at one time, Chanel must do everything possible to maintain this high-quality customer. Going to Paris to participate in haute couture fashion week is a good way.

"Yeah! And this thing!"

Han Yi's eyes lit up, and his tone was quite excited.

"Let's go! Pick some summer clothes for you!"

"you this……"

Xu Yiru didn't know the core reason why Han Yi wanted to spend money on her so much. Of course, as long as his thinking was not short-circuited and there were no fireworks exploding in his mind, he probably wouldn't have guessed that Han Yi could make money by spending money.

In Xiaoru's view, there is only one reason why Han Yi is so eager to try.

That is……

Xu Yiru, who started the self-guided strategy mode, unconsciously spoke lightly and softly.

"In July, people show the autumn and winter series."

"Autumn and winter clothes are also fine!" Unexpectedly, Han Yi became even more excited, "How nice is the coat, why don't you make him three or four or four or five?"

Autumn and winter should be more expensive than spring and summer, because there are more fabrics.

The higher the consumption, the higher the reward!
"I'll look at the ticket."

Han Yi, who felt that time was not waiting for him, took out his mobile phone.

"What date is it?"

"Wait a minute!"

These few minutes have been preventing Han Yi from doing all kinds of weird things, and Xiaoru's palm never moved away from his arm.

"Summer has not finished here, and I can't go..."

Xu Yiru pulled Han Yi down the stairs, opened the door and walked towards the back of the school, trying to persuade Han Yi that he wanted to fly halfway around the world with him, just to buy her...

Why do you want to persuade him? It's too much.

This is not right.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiru stopped talking and swallowed more words.

These sentences swirled in the body, and rose up through the warm chest, turning into a sweet smile named Xiao Que Xing at the corner of the mouth.

"It is."

Han Yi pondered for a while before asking.

"Then next time, what month is the spring and summer fashion week?"

"January."

"That's just winter vacation." Han Yi nodded, and stretched out a little finger to Xu Yiru, "Then it's a deal, don't bully me in January."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Although Xiao Ru said so, her little finger was already entangled with Han Yi.

Los Angeles in early June was not so hot that it was unbearable, but walking through the boulevards of USC Staff Park, looking at Han Yi's mottled face, Xiao Ru still felt a little dry and restless .

"Why did you think of coming to pick me up at school today?"

Xu Yiru held the shoulder strap of the backpack with his hand and asked.As long as there is no formal occasion, Xiao Ru in school is as comfortable as possible. The whole body is a complete set of Nike USC sportswear, and even the schoolbag is specially prepared for studying. The special low-key beige Jansport is also buckled for sunshade. peaked cap.It's so small that it's hard to notice even if it passes by.

But as long as you pay attention a little bit and see her face clearly, it will be difficult to look away.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ru will always be stopped for Snapchat, Instagram, Line or WeChat as long as she walks on the USC campus no matter in class or after class.

Of course, there was a big man around him today, and there were not many people on campus during the summer vacation, so Xu Yiru didn't need to put on a polite smile that was full of amiability but the chance of success was slim at any time as usual.

Now this hand is holding the cuffs and swinging back and forth, going any route but not in a straight line, circling Han Yi back and forth, staring at the squirrel for a while, and silently reading the road signs passing by for a while, such a cute little girl without a head, This is Xu Yiru's most natural appearance.

Perhaps only the mother and the boy in front of her, who is already familiar with the taste of chest, can see her completely relaxed and empty side.

"What are you doing?"

Han Yi didn't answer Xu Yiru's question directly, but looked at the Baodao girl who pulled out two nuts from her pocket as if juggling, and squatted down to feed the squirrels on the lawn of the Thornton Conservatory of Music.

"I finally know how these squirrels survived."

There are hundreds of Mississippi squirrels on the USC campus. Unlike in China, these little guys are a common part of the ecological chain in the United States. No one feeds them specially, and of course no one wants to harm them.

Except for April Fool's Day, every year on April Fool's Day, some USC students who have nothing to do will launch a petition on the official website, requesting euthanasia for all squirrels on campus.

"No, it's just an experimental squirrel." Xu Yiru pointed to the miniature collar on the shiny little thing in front of him, and there was a small sign on it, with the three numbers "501" written on it, " I checked, and there is a professor who specializes in studying the squirrel ecosystem on campus, taking students to observe their life trajectories for a semester... I will add a little variable to their report."

"Experimental squirrel, and this thing." Han Yi also squatted down beside Xu Yiru, looking at the squirrel who put nuts into its cheek with great interest.

"Like you."

"It's just like you." Xiao Ru knocked on Han Yi's head and gave him an annoyed look.Then, she turned her gaze back, looked at the silly little squirrel with puffy cheeks, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It seems a bit like me."

"Yeah, it's exactly the same as when you were eating, but I don't know if it looks like when you were receiving gifts."

"What do you mean when you receive gifts..."

This thoughtless remark made Xu Yiru feel a little strange. When she looked at Han Yi again, she found that Han Yi was taking shopping bags out of his own schoolbag.

"You turned around too early."

Han Yi put the bright yellow bag on the lawn, patted it lightly, and smiled.

"A present for you."
